KFC Chicken Blessing Gangs

Saturday morning I received  a call from one of my informers telling me that there was a Gang at the park in Commerce City. God said, “It is the Latinos. I want you to take napkins,  plastic plates and  bottled water with you before you go to meet them.”

As I was driving to Commerce City, God said, “Read from my Word when you get there from Jeremiah 29:11.”

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

When I arrived at the park, I noticed that it was the Latino Gang. They were by a picnic table and there was 4 buckets of KFC. They even had a McDonald’s ice tea for me like they were expecting me to come and see them. As I walked towards them I noticed a different Gang on the other side of the park. The Leader of the Latinos said, “Here’s your ice tea.”

I said, “Thank you guys for thinking of me.” then I said, “You guys are definitely  hungry today with 4 buckets of KFC.”

The leader said, “Two of the buckets are for us and the other two buckets are for the Gang that’s over there.” The Leader then asked, “Sonny will you take it to them. Don’t tell them it’s from us.”

I said, “Sure I’ll take it to them. But I cannot lie by taking credit for it.  They need to know you are the blessing to them.”

The Leader and his boys also grabbed some water. I said, “This is really nice of you guys doing this for that other Gang.”

The Latino Leader said, “They’re hungry! I want to give them something to eat like you gave us something to eat.”

God has made them sensitive to the point where they recognized the need that this other gang was hungry.  Even more powerfull is the desire to share. God is definitely softening their hearts.

So I put the buckets in my Pickup and drove to the other side of the park. When I got out of my pickup the Leader of that Gang started to walk to me and said, “What do you want?”

I said, “I brought KFC and water for you guys.” After I put the two buckets, plates and napkins on the picnic table, I got my cooler with the water bottles. They started to eat the KFC. There was 14 in this Gang. They came from Dallas Texas. As they were eating the Leader said, ” What’s the Bible for?”

I said, “God told me to read Jeremiah 29:11 to all of you.”

After I read it, two of them came forward and asked, “What kind of plans does God have for us?”

I said, “God wants you to give your hearts to him and to live for him. God will give you a new purpose in this world.”

The Leader said, “If you two give your hearts to God then you better go with Sonny.”

Those two gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. The Leader said to the other boys, “Let’s go. Thanks for lunch.”  They drove away.  They never asked where the chicken came from or why would someone do something like this? Holy Spirit continue to let this blessing from the other gang change their hearts.

The two that stayed with me said, “We have Uncles here in Denver. Will you take us to them?”

I said, “Yes.”

When I got to their Uncles homes, a lot of people came running out to hug them. They cried for awhile. All their Uncles family loves our King. The boys told them that they had given their hearts to Jesus Christ. It was beautiful to see my King get all the Glory and the Victory.

New Gang In Denver

God has lead me back to talk to another gang in a Denver park. I was praying to God how to proceed.

God said, “I want you to serve them KFC.”

I said, “I have a gift card to get chicken at King Soopers instead.”

God said, “Sonny listen to me. I want you to get the largest KFC bucket meal on the board to serve to them.”

I obeyed God’s command  and purchased the chicken at KFC and left for the park. When I arrived at the park where this gang was, I noticed that no one looked familiar and they likewise with me. They drew their weapons and pointed them towards me. The gang leader demanded, “What are you doing here?”

I said, “Jesus Christ told me that you guys are hungry and to make sure that I had enough. He told me serve you the big KFC chicken bucket meal.”

The gang leader said, “KFC is my favorite chicken. It is the best chicken.”

One gang member then blurted out, “This Jesus Christ must be a pretty cool dude.”

What is unusual about this, the expression “Kentucky Fried Chicken” was  never used either by God or the gang members. It was “KFC”. God loves us so much that he cares about our likes. Only KFC would do for this gang.

I proceeded to get the food and drink out of my pickup. The gang members started to take things to a nearby picnic table to eat. One of the gang members opened my cooler and saw the cooled drinks. He said, “Are these bottled waters for us?”

I said, “Yes”

The gang member said, “This is great that we get to drink bottled water with our chicken.”

As they started eating, I read John 3:16-17 to them. They ate all the chicken, cole slaw, mashed potatoes and gravy. They ate everything picking the bones clean. I then cut the desert and served that next.

The gang appeared to be of Latino decedent. I asked the gang leader, “Where are you from?”

The gang leader exclaimed, “Why do you want to know?”

I said, “You know it’s really not that important. God already knows where you are from.”

The gang leader asked, “Will Jesus Christ forgive me unconditionally?”

From this question I was wondering if he once knew Jesus Christ. I responded, “If you truly want his forgiveness, he will forget about your past sins forever.”

The gang leader said, “Sonny, we are not ready yet.”

The gang members went back to their cars and left. The cars they were driving are classics from the sixties. They were not lowriders but they were all in mint condition. The Holy Spirit planted a seed today and it will germinate. They will come back.

Getting My Haircut in Denver

God told me I needed to go down to Denver and witness to the Latinos in Denver. It is Saturday morning.  In order to talk to the gang leader, he likes me to have a Latino haircut like his as one of the conditions that I had need in order to speak to him. I arrived at 10 a.m. at the barbershop that gave me my first Latino haircut. When I opened the door, I saw that there was about 10 or 12 people already waiting in line to get their haircuts.

The owner said, “Hi Sonny! Are you here to witness to the gangs today?”

I said, “Yes, I am.”

The owner said, “Sonny, I’m just about ready to finish up here with this cut and I will get your haircut next so you can get going to witness to our gangs here in Denver.” He said this in a loud enough voice that everybody in the room heard what he was talking about.

When he finally motioned to me to come to the chair,  I was wondering about the people who were waiting in line what they were thinking with me going in and getting my haircut ahead of them.  Some of these guys waiting in line look pretty tough. When I was finished getting my hair cut, I noticed that the price of a haircut was $20.

I asked the owner, “How much for the haircut?”

The owner who is also Christian said, “Sonny, it’s on the house. You just go out there and continue bringing Jesus to our Gangs.”

As I started heading towards the door to leave, some of the guys standing in line asked me, “Is it true that you are witnessing to the Gangs here in Denver?”

I said, “Yes, God wants me to share the love of Jesus Christ with gangs here in Denver.”

One of the guys then asked, “Is it true that Jesus Christ can forgive me for my sins for whatever I have done?”

I said, “Yes, Jesus can forgive your sins no matter what you may have done.”

This opened up another door to be able to talk to the people waiting in line. Many had questions they wanted to ask. We placed some chairs together and almost had like a little bible study going on. Several people accepted Jesus into their hearts right in the barbershop. God can even change hearts in a barbershop.

After I finished praying at the barber shop, I left to go were to the Latino Gang was hanging out. When I arrived at the park, a bunch of motorcycles parked in front and behind my pickup. The bikers seemed to be dirty like they camp outside all the time. I noticed that all the riders had 2 swords on their jackets in a crossed position. I asked, “What do the swords mean on your jackets?”

One of the riders responded, “They are just that, if you mess with us, this is what is going to happen to you.”

I told him, “I have my sword also.”

The rider said, “Let me see what your sword looks like.”

I went into my pickup and got out my Bible. I said, “This is my sword, the word of God.” I held it in my hand like it was a sword.

God caught the bike riders off guard and they started backing away. Another biker stopped and got off his bike and kind of walked towards me kind of like flexing his muscles and he laid his hand on my pickup. As his hand came into contact with with the pickup, he got a good shock. The biker said, “Hey man! What’s going on here? Your pickup gave me a shock.”

I said, “Nothing! See I have nothing in my hands that I could do to cause this pick up to shock you.”

I demonstrated it by putting my hands on the pickup and there was no shock. You may say it was just a static discharge due to static electricity but after I took my hands off he tried to touch the pick up again. He got a royal shock again.

He said, “Your pickup shocked me again. What is going on here?”

I said, “My king does not want you to touch his truck.”

The biker exclaimed, “Your king!”

I said, “Yeah my king Jesus Christ.”

When I said this, the biker became extremely scared. He just turned around got on his bike and left and pretty soon they all left. Even a closed Bible can have power. After they rode off, I proceeded to walk into the park and look for the Latino gang leader.

I soon found him in the interior of the park. The gang leader said, “Sonny, I see you got a haircut. It looks good!”

I said, “Yeah, I got it just for you.”

The Latino gang leader said,” I respect you for getting a hair cut like mine because that means that you respect us.”

I told him, ” I praise God that they listen to the word of God. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory.”

God Provides for New Tires

I was coming home from Denver on Sunday morning and I decided to stop by Resurrection Fellowship in Loveland to meet some people I knew in church. While I was there I was approached by a complete stranger who came up to me and starting to ask me questions. He asked, “Do you have a ministry where you drive around a lot rescuing people from gangs and on the highways.”

I said, “Yes I do”

God told me to withdraw $800 from my checking account. I asked God, “What is this for?”

God said, “I will tell you at the proper moment.”

While I was there in church God showed me you standing over there with your GodOverGangs t-shirts. God said, “Take the money and give it to him. ”

The story behind this is:  I have been praying to get a new set of tires for my pickup. My Ministry causes me to put many miles on my tires and they were getting in a situation where they needed to be replaced. My God knew that I needed new tires and he listened to my prayer. Sometimes I feel like asking “Why God are you waiting so long? I should replace my tires now.”

But God always knows the right time to do things.  He continues to test us to see if we really trust him.  God, my king, is faithful.

I am not at my goal yet but my God we’ll make sure it happens.

GOD Wakes Me to Save Peter

On Sunday night I was fast asleep. About 11 p.m. God woke me up and said, “You need to get up and head south. “

I was questioning what God wanted me to do but God again said, “You need to get going. A guy named Peter is going to jump off a bridge. You need to get going right now. “

I was again questioning God because he did not give me the answer to which overpass  because there’s are lot of overpasses in Denver. But I should know  by now that God will always give me the location as I’m driving.  I just started heading south and waiting for him to tell me where to go.  As I was driving down  towards Denver  I noticed my fuel tank gauge was getting close to empty .  God said, “Don’t worry about your fuel just continue driving  towards Denver.”

During my drive to Denver  I encountered two automobile accidents  on the route down that slowed the traffic down. I continue driving the speed limit for almost an hour and 45 minutes till I got to near where the intersection of I-25 and C470 where God showed me a car sitting all on the right side of the road. This is where I was told to stop and I parked behind this car. I then proceeded out of my pickup and walked past the car. As I was walking by the car I placed my hand on the hood and noticed that’s the engine was still very warm. So I knew he had not been here very long. I continued walking up the ramp  to the top of the overpass. I noticed a guy standing near the bridge. I said, “Peter what are you thinking about?”

He responded by asking, “Who are you and what are you doing here.”

I said, “My King told me to tell you that he loves you and not to jump.”

Peter looked at me and was perplexed by how I knew his name and what he was about to do. Peter said, “Your king! Who is your king.”

I said , “My king is Jesus Christ. He sent me from Loveland to rescue you from jumping because he loves you very much.  He told me to drive south and I would find you here.”

Peter was part of a gang a couple of years ago and he’s been trying to go to school and make something of his life. But he felt that his life is inadequate and just wanted to end it all. I told him, “Peter, God has a purpose for your life. “

Peter started to cry when he realized  that  God had sent me here  just to tell him that God loved him. He came over and hugged me and continued crying. I told him about my ministry that God gave me to witness about Jesus Christ with gangs. He talked about gangs that he was in and was asking me questions about whether I had a chance to witness to those gangs. While this was going on his folks we’re worried because it was so late and he still hadn’t come home. They followed his route he normally takes home and  came up on his car shortly after I got there.

Peter told his folks how God had shown me who he was and what he was about to do and how I drove here from Loveland just to share God love with me and what God wants to do in my life.

Peter was grateful that I came and in fact he couldn’t even believe that he was about to jump off that overpass. The enemy Satan wants to destroy our lives and wants us to end it all. Only God’s love and Power can overcome the enemy.

On A final note, you may be asking the question why did God not get somebody else closer to Peter then to ask me to come down to Denver. I asked God the same question and God’s response was, ” Sonny I chose you to represent me to the gangs. That is the reason why you went down because you are  my representative. “

I didn’t ask any more questions after that.

Praying for a Violent Park

I was witnessing to the gangs in an area near the park where the young 16 year old teenager was killed by gunfire. God said, “Go over the to that Park and  walk around it seven times  praying for the park. There is too much violence in this park and we need to make it safe.”

I was walking around the park perimeter and I would anoint oil on certain places and trees where God told me to.  I kept praying while I was going around the park. It was a beautiful day and I was the only one there at the park because of the fear everyone had of being shot. I had some police officer stop me. One officer asked,  “What are you doing?”

I said, “God told me to pray for the park.”

The officer replied, “It’s not safe to be here.  You could be shot.”

I said, “When my God tells me to do something,  he will protect me from any harm. I am going to do what my God tells me to do.”

The police officer asked, “Could we also walk around the park with you?”

I said, “If you do, we are not going to talk or discuss anything. We are going to pray as we continue walking around the park perimeter.”

The police officer said, “That’s okay. We will we will pray with you.”

We continue the last 3 laps around the park praying for various things and for protection for the people who come to the park. The police officers continued to pray along with me. After I finished the seven laps praying, the police officer said, “You know we pray for our meals, for our families; but we have never physically seriously prayed this long for anything such as this park.”

It was also a growing experience for the police officers. I am sure that it is going to change their lives forever.

Later, when I went to the park in a few weeks I noticed that there was a lot of people enjoying the park again. The power of Prayer can be blessing and change the world.

Power of a McDonald’s Iced Tea

I was in Denver and  and noticed that the gang members all had McDonald’s Iced Teas. This all started one day when I came back from Denver and went to church in Windsor. While at church Steve gave me and iced tea from McDonald’s. I told him how wonderful this tasted. He has been on a regular basis  making me an iced tea before church. He has been experimenting with the number of lemons and squeezing them to perfection. He has discovered that I like between four and five lemons in my iced tea. The Iced Teas are always totally amazing.

I have told the gang members about my McDonald’s ice teas that Steve makes for me.  I said, “You need to put four or five lemons in the iced tea.”

They decided they would like to try an iced tea themselves. They told me, ” Sonny,  these Iced Teas are totally amazing.”  So they have been getting regular McDonald’s Iced Teas. The unusual thing about one situation is when the gang went to McDonald’s and their order of or shipment of lemons did not come in. One gang leader  wanted his iced tea really bad so he told one of his boys to go over to King Soopers and to pick up some lemons. The guy came back with two bags of lemons. He handed the lemons over to the manager at McDonald’s. The manager wasn’t sure what to do and he was asking,”Do I need to pay you?”

The leader said, “No, just as Steve blesses Sonny with Iced teas; we want to bless you with these lemons.”

It is amazing even if somebody does not give their heart to Jesus today just the effect of showing love and respect to these gang members has an effect on them in their response to the manager.  I am sure that the manager was totally surprised by their response. This in turn will cause him to think about the power of Jesus Christ. It is so sweet to see how the love of Jesus has an effect on everyone.

Holy Spirit Stops at Walmart

On Good Friday I went to Walmart store in Timnath. As I was walking down one of the Isles, I heard a man on the next aisle to me say, “Let’s  come together and hold hands.”  I then heard a lady say, “Are we praying for someone?” By the tone of her voice I felt that they have done this before. The man replied,” The Holy Spirit has revealed to me that we need to stop now and pray for President Trump. “

I stopped what I was doing and started listening. As he was speaking words of encouragement and asking God to strengthen President Trump and his family,  I kept listening as I walked over to their aisle to see who they were. In the next aisle, I saw that there was a man, his wife and  four children all holding hands praying.  They continued  fervently praying for our country and praying for our presidents wisdom and his family. A few people took pictures with them praying and holding hands.  I was about to take a photo myself  but God said, “No Sonny, this is their time. You need to be praying with them.”

They were praying so sincerely that they did not realize anything that was going on around them.  I just watched and prayed with them. The Holy Spirit took over and started to speak the heavenly language to God through each member of the family until they finished. Eight people were there watching and where encouraging them to continue because of the presence of the Holy Spirit is beautiful. Isn’t God amazing! The Holy Spirit is working even here at Walmart.

Got Stopped by the Highway Patrol

I just been pulled over by the highway patrol for the 47th time. You may be asking why I’ve been having to be pulled over by the cops so many times. They have found out that I love to pray for them and their protection. They have a rough job and they’re in danger from the lack of respect from the public all the time. These people have been put in authority by God to make sure that we don’t break the laws just as we need to respect the God of Jesus Christ as an authority figure in our lives. If we cannot respect our patrolman as authority figures. We cannot respect the authority of God who gave them authority.  I am going to continue to pray for their hearts and protection. This is how it all started.

Place the story here

This is how the power of God works. The patrolman all have video cameras in their patrol cars and they are showing the officers pulling over the same vehicle over and over again. The captain asked, “Why are you guys pulling this guy over all the time?”

One officer explained, “He prays for us and the praying has a positive impact on our lives.”

The captain said, “You can continue to have him pray for you.”  More details here.

Chicago Police Come to Denver to Hear Message

Friday night I was surprised to see some undercover police from Chicago that I knew from my time in Chicago. God told them to come to Denver to hear the message that he shared with me to speak to the undercover police in Denver tonight.  They flew into Denver on Thursday of last week to hear me speak in Denver tonight.

I told them my king gets all the glory. They told me, “We love how God is using you to reach gangs and we wanted to be here to support you and to hear what the Holy Spirit has revealed to you.”

I was so blessed to see them again.  Five undercover police gave their hearts to Jesus Christ Friday night. After finishing my speaking engagement, God sent me to witness to a gang down town Denver.

Three gang members gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. Their parents came and picked them up to take them home. I had a chance to pray with all the parents. It was beautiful time. Two of the parents gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. After doing everything God wanted me to do here, he then sent me to the streets of Colfax to witness there. Four people gave their hearts to Jesus Christ.  I prayed with a lot of people Friday night. My king gets all the glory and the victory. Love you brother.
