Serving Thanksgiving to the Eastsiders

It is Thanksgiving Day and I’m about ready to serve a feast to a gang in Denver.  This all started on a Tuesday afternoon when I was out grocery shopping at King Soopers. As I was checking out, I was listening to a couple of ladies talking to each other. One said to the other one, “You know, I should cook a Thanksgiving dinner for someone in need.” About that same time, God said to me, “Sonny, you need to do the same thing. I want you to serve a Thanksgiving dinner to a gang. I want you to serve the Eastsiders.”

The Eastsiders live near Commerce City. Everytime they would see me, they pushed me around. They would also hit me. They have sliced my arms with their knives.  They are one of the meanest gangs in Denver that I have encountered.  I usually am hurting after I meet up with this gang. So my heart rate was kind of racing thinking about doing this. God said, “Sonny, prepare the table before my enemy on Thanksgiving day.”  I was thinking in terms of pizza, hamburgers or chicken.  God said, “No Sonny, I want you to serve them up a feast.” God gave me instructions seven days before Thanksgiving to start getting everything ready.

I have never done a Thanksgiving dinner like this for anyone so I really had no idea how to begin. But God was there to help me. Later that day, an undercover policeman called me and said, “My wife just told me that the Holy Spirit told her to make a turkey for you. Is there something going on that I should know about?” I shared what God told me to do with him. Even later that day another undercover policeman’s wife said she was told to make the stuffing for the turkey. As the days passed, others called to cook parts of the meal. I had a lady volunteer from Fort Collins to make the pies. The mom of the undercover policeman’s wife making the turkey found out what was going on and wanted to made the rolls.  Some of the undercover police officers wanted to help serve the Thanksgiving dinner. I had to turn them down because the gangs feel threatened when there’s more than one person present. Everything that was on my list was going to be prepared by someone. God is Faithful. The Eastsiders were going to have a homemade Thanksgiving dinner. The snow storm we had two days before Thanksgiving sure made a mess of the roads and made it more challenging to deliver the food to Commerce City. I picked up the pies in Fort Collins first and worked my way around Denver picking up all the ingredients for the feast. I picked up the turkey last.  Everyone who had volunteered had their dish prepared to perfection. The pies had to go the longest distance. I prayed, “Lord, with the rough roads keep everything stable and intact.” I wasn’t sure where they live but I knew approximately where they hung out.  I did not just want to keep driving around bouncing the food in my truck. Soon an undercover policeman called me and gave me their exact location. So everything arrived in excellent condition.

I arrived at the gangs neighborhood at 11 a.m. From a distance, I could see that they just finished clearing the snow out in front of their home. I pulled up and parked in that spot. I got out of my truck and opened the rear door of my pickup to get the food. The leader, whose name is Apollo, stepped out and asked, “Sonny, what are you doing here?”

I turned around and said, “My King told me to come and bless you guys with a Thanksgiving Dinner. ”

Apollo said, “I can’t believe you brought us a Thanksgiving Feast knowing how we have treated you.”

I said, “Not only my King wanted to bring you Thanksgiving, but many others wanted to bless you guys. With love and enthusiasm, they wanted to give up their time to make sure that you had a good Thanksgiving meal.”

Apollo asked, “Do you need help Sonny?”

I said, “Yes that would be great!” He told some of his guys to come and help me. As I was walking into the house, some of the guys had their pistols drawn on me to make sure I didn’t pull anything funny. It is extremely difficult for these guys to trust anyone. Even though they had me covered, everyone was excited to see all the food. There was the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls and corn on the table. We put the four pumpkin pies and three apple pies on another table.

I had brought a cooler with Dr Pepper, Pepsi, and Mountain Dew in it. The gang set the table with plates, forks and knives. Everyone was waiting patiently before eating.  Apollo spoke up, “Guys, put your weapons down. We don’t need this here.” As the feast was about to start,  I could hear some of the girls crying in the background.  I said, “Everything is set up.  Let me pray and thank Jesus Christ for this food.”  As I was praying, I could hear more of the gang crying.  I said, “Amen.” I then said, “The ladies go first.”

As I was serving them, they kept thanking me for what just happened. After they were all served, I sat down next to Apollo and ate with him. A couple of guys were sitting behind me at another table still watching me.

Apollo asked, “Sonny, how did you get started talking to gangs about Jesus?” I told them how my heart was broken by my family. That’s when I asked God to give me a ministry that nobody wanted. That’s when my King said, “Then follow me.” God started healing my heart. He brought me to Denver to minister to gangs because they have broken hearts too. My King wants to bring healing to all your hearts. That’s why I’m here to obey the word of my King to bring healing to all of you.

After we ate, some of them began hugging me. I read Mathew 6:34 to them. Then I read John 3:16 to them. Then I stepped into the living room and said, “Those of you that want your names written in the lambs book of life come into the living room.”  They all came to the living room.

Apollo asked, “Can God really forgive me of all my sins?”

I said, “Yes, but you first have to ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart.”

Apollo said, “I want to ask Jesus Christ into my heart.” All of them then asked Jesus Christ for forgiveness of all their sins and asked Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. A lot of them began to cry.  Later, they started to call their parents to tell them what happened.  All their parents came to welcome them back. I had a chance to pray for many of their parents. A lot of them were already Christians. The ones that weren’t wanted to give their hearts to Jesus.  It was so Beautiful. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. I am not sure how to describe it but the power of God during this meal was totally amazing, energizing and different from anything I have experienced before.

The Power of Serving

On Saturday God said, ” Take 6 pizza to a park in Denver. 2 gangs will be there. I want you to serve them and talk about me.”

I arrived at the park and set the pizzas on a picnic table. Normally I serve from my pickup box but I felt today I should go to a picnic table.  I have been witnessing to the Gang on my right for a year. So they are getting to know me real well. The other gang I only have known them about 2 months. These two gangs at the park are adversaries of each other.  When they both started walking towards me, God was showing me their hearts and why they are broken.  I started to pray for them as they continued walking towards me. As they were in talking distance of each other, the gang that knew me the longest said, “Guys, this is Sonny. He doesn’t mean any harm to us. Sonny brings food to us and reads the Bible to us. Let’s put our weapons down and just listen to what Sonny is going to read to us.”

They unloaded their pistols and laid them down on the table. As they brought both tables together the presence of the Holy Spirit took over the event. It was so peaceful around both Gangs.  Some of the gang members noticed that some of the others has not received any pizza yet. They picked up the box and started to pass the pizzas around to make sure everyone got a slice. The moment was so powerful. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory.  I read 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.

30 min later I read to them Jeremiah 29:12:

12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

Three young men from the gang that knew me the longest came forward.  I prayed for them and they gave their hearts to Jesus Christ.

I looked directly at 2nd gang and read John 3:16-17:

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

The message of God’s word touched their hearts. Two from the other gang started to come to me. I prayed for them and they gave their life to Jesus Christ.

Jesus talked in the New Testament about serving others. When this is done with the love that Jesus Christ demonstrates to us, it even becomes more powerful.  The gangs trusted me and felt secure because of the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. Here are some scriptures that talk about the importance of serving others.

1 Peter 4:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

Galatians 5:13-14 New International Version (NIV)

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Ephesians 6:6-8 New International Version (NIV)

6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

God Sends Me to New Jersey

The Police jet that picked my up in Chicag0 came to pick me up a Denver International Airport. I boarded the jet and I am now heading to the state of New Jersey. God said, “There is a gang there that is hurting everybody who comes into contact with their turf. I want you to witness to this gang and tell them about my son Jesus Christ. Take 15 Bibles and 14 crosses and read 1 John 1:9 and John 3:16-17 to them. Serve them by taking milk, orange juice and 2 dozen chocolate doughnuts for them.”

I was dropped off 7 blocks away from the gang on “Death Street” because the uncover police didn’t want to be seen before I started to witness to the gang. The Undercover Police prayed for me. They prayed, “God, give Sonny wisdom to touch their hearts and protect him while he is sharing the love of Jesus to them.” It was a very powerful prayer. They then anointed me with oil. As I walked, I prayed for the gang I was to meet. I asked God to show me their hearts and why their hearts are broken.  I prayed that my King would start the healing to their hearts even before I arrived.

As I neared my destination, a man named Job walked up to us and said, “Our King said don’t walk into the street for 7 minutes.  Our King is still preparing their hearts.” Then Job turned and walked away.  You may be asking, “Is this the same Job that I met in Chicago? It is. He could be an angel sent by God or he could be a man who was sent by God to aid in my Ministry. Either way, he is one cool dude and I thank God for sending him. The undercover police also asked, “Who was that?”

I said, “His name is Job. He was sent to us by our King. He told us to wait 7 minutes  before crossing the street.”

After the 7 minutes passed,  God said, “Walk towards them.” While I was walking towards the gang, God showed me the Leader’s heart and why it was broken.  I walked straight to the leader. The Leader exclaimed, “What’s your last words to me? Because you are going to die here today.”

I said, “My last words to you are: I forgive you and love you just like my King has loved me and has forgiven me.”

The Leader said, “You never should have come here!” Then the Leader said, “Your not scared of dying, are you.”

I said, “When my eyes close in this world they will open in God’s Kingdom. I get to see my King and from there I will pray for you.”

God told me, “Pray for all of them.”

I responded,  “I was sent here to pray for all of you. After I finish praying then you can shoot me.”

The Leader said, “Go ahead. Pray for all of us.”

I said, “Before I pray for all of you, there are two Scriptures that God wants me to read to all of you. One scripture is John 3:16-17 and the other is 1 John 1:9.”

John 3:16-17

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

1 John 1:9

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

God told me, “Pray for the Leader last.” As I was walking by the Leader to pray for the others, I could see his eyes tearing up. As I began praying for the others, God began showing me why their hearts were broken. I began praying that God would bring healing to their hearts.

As I prayed for each one, I hung a cross on their neck and anointed them with oil.  Then I handed them a Bible. Each gang member accepted my prayer.  Our God is so awesome.  Lastly, I walked towards the Leader. God showed me that the Leader was wearing a cross already under his shirt. That is why God said to me to only take 14 crosses even there are 15 in the gang.  The Leader said, “You are praying for me, anointing me with oil and giving me a Bible. Where’s my cross?”

I said, “It’s under your shirt. The cross you are wearing was given to you by your Grandpa.  Your Grandpa also read John 3:16 and 1 John 1:9 to you before he died. Those were his favorite verses.”

The Leader started to cry and said, “I know that you were sent here by God for me and my Gang. No one here knows about the cross under my shirt and my Grandpa’s favorite verses. I’m tired of running from God.”

I responded, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs book of life come to me and I will pray for you.”

All of them walked up to me and and asked Jesus Christ to forgive them of all their sins. Then they asked Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. They all called their parents who were anxious to have them come back home. Before their parents arrived,  I continued to pray with them and telling them that God has a new purpose for their lives. The Leader came over and hugged me for a long time. I exclaimed, “My king loves you and is so proud of you and I know your Grandpa is praising God for your Salvation.”

I kept hugging them and praying with them. When all their parents arrived, they all cried while hugging and loving their sons. God told me, “Pray for their parents.”   I asked the parents, “Do you  want your names written in the lambs book of life?” All of them came forward with their sons. All the parents gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. We all sat down and ate the food that I brought with me and continued to talk about the wonders of God and his son Jesus.

God Sends Me to Rescue Undercover Cops

On Friday night I went to the bonfire at my church and had a great time fellow-shipping and talking about our awesome God. Later in the evening God said, “Sonny, you need to go to Denver. There are four undercover police that are going to be surrounded by a bunch of guys.”

In my walk with God, when God asks me to do something I get on it right away. Timing is very important with God. I left my church to go to Denver. The Holy Spirit took me to east Colfax to an empty parking lot where the undercover police officers were. I scoped out the parking lot  and noticed a bunch of guys walking towards them. Thank you so much for your prayers that the Holy Spirit reveals these things to me. These undercover police officers were my friends. I counted 13 guys  in the group that were about to surround my friends. God said, “Go and stand against the enemy. When you walk up to them, tell them I come for the lost and the broken hearted. Those of you that want your names written in the lambs book of life follow me. Because tomorrow is never promised. God wants your hearts.”

After I did what God commanded me to do, all 13 guys walked away from my friends.  As I started to pray for my friends, they asked, “Did God tell you that we were going to be in trouble Sonny?”

I replied, “I was in Windsor at a church bonfire and God told me to go to Denver because some undercover police offices are in trouble.  I got here in God’s timing. God is Faithful!”

They said, “The guys had really big knifes in their hands, Sonny.”

I said, “I have the Sword of God with me. No weapon shall prosper against the word of God.”

They continued to thank me for saving them from the 13 guys that were about to confront them. My King gets all the glory and the victory .

The Undercover Police went back to work with an even greater conviction on how powerful our God is.  I went to the streets to pray for people that will come to me for prayer.

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.

Colorado Springs Dad Asks for Daughters Rescue

I’m going to Denver Tonight. There’s a gang that comes from Colorado Springs to downtown Denver every Friday night. I was told that in this Gang there’s a girl by the name Mikayla. Her Dad and Mom have asked me to go to this Gang and try to get her out. I’m going Friday night and be there before 7 p.m. God said, “When you see her call out her name and she will make eye contact with you. She will come with you.”

God showed me there’s going to be a lot of shooting. That’s all God has shown me so please pray.

Thank you for praying. God is Faithful. When I arrived at the place where I had to park in downtown Denver, I was approached by one of my informers. He said, “They are about a block away heading North.”

I was 1/2 of block from the street they were on. God said, ” Go to the street corner and wait for them to walk by you.”

There was 2 girls, Jennifer and Jessica, walking with Mikayla. They were in the very back of the gang. After the gang walked by the 3 girls were right in front of me. Two blocks away firecrackers went off. It sounded like gunfire. The gang kept walking on by. The 3 Girls stopped directly in front of me. I said, “Mikayla”

She looked right at me and made eye contact. She said, “Sonny”

I said, “Come with me Mikayla.”

Mikayla asked, “Can my friends come with us?”

I said, “Yes let’s go.”

I told them, “God said not to look back; just keep walking toward my pickup.”

When we drove away, Mikayla asked, “What was that bright light on you?”

I said, “God’s Angels are protecting us.”

I asked them, “Do you want your names written in the book of life?”

They said, “Yes”. They repented of their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I asked them, “If they wanted to be filled with the Holy Spirit?”

They said, “Yes”. They couldn’t stop crying. All 3 Girls went to church when they were younger. They new about being filled with the Holy Spirit. When we got to Mikayla’s parents home they couldn’t stop crying. Mikayla asked her parents to forgive her. Her parents asked her to forgive them. The other Girls called their parents in Colorado Springs who all wanted their Girls to come home. I got to pray with Mikayla’s parents. They wouldn’t stop hugging each other. Mikayla’s parents are taking the other girls back to their parents homes. Later my informers called me and told me that when the fireworks were going off the gang kept walking they never looked back to see if the girls were behind them. We walked away unseen. My King gets the Victory.

Facing Opposition Head On

I’m about to pray for nine guys that have been looking for me because they haven’t liked me witnessing to Gangs. I have been praying about it and God said, “Go to them and pray for for them.” Please pray for their hearts. Love you guys.

I parked in front of the building. As I walked to the front door, two guys came out. One of them asked, “Who are you and what do you want?”

I said, “Just take me to your leader. I have a message for all of you.”

He said, “What’s the message?”

I said, “I only want to say it once. Take me to your leader.”

He asked, “Who sent you here?”

I said, “My King brought me here.”

He said, “So you came by yourself.”

I said, “No, I didn’t. God’s kingdom came with me.”

He asked, “What’s in the bags?”

I said, “Gifts for all of you.”

He said, “I’ll take you to him.”

When the elevator doors opened, the leader asked, “Who are you?”

I said, “My name is Sonny. I am the one you have been looking for. I bring a gift to all of you.”

He asked, “What is it?”

I said, “Jesus Christ he’s my Lord and Savior. Jesus wants to bring healing to all your hearts and transform your hearts so God can use you in this world. All you have to do is ask for forgiveness of all your sins and ask Jesus Christ into your hearts. Jesus Christ will forgive you.”

He asked, “How can Jesus forgive me for everything I have done?”

I said, “Not only will Jesus forgive you, but Jesus will forget it.”

Then I asked, “Do you want your names written in the book of life? God Loves all of you. That’s why God sent me here to tell you that you have a purpose in this world.”

The Leader stood up and came over to me and asked, “Is it that easy?”

I said, “Yes, Jesus Christ wants your hearts.”

The leader said, “I want a new life and a new purpose in this world.”

Eight others came and gave their hearts to Christ. At one point of their lives they all had gone to church. I opened the Bible to John 3:16,17 and started reading. I also turned to Matthew 6:33. After I finished reading, I gave all of them Bibles and my ministry cards. The leader said, “You also brought cookies and milk.

I said, “The Bible brings new life to your hearts. The cookies and milk bring smiles to your faces. Now call your families and tell them you have accepted Jesus Christ.”

My King gets the Victory and all the Glory. Thank you for all your prayers.

Gang Leader Antonio

Going to Denver 2 new Gangs have arrived.

There was 27 Latinos in this Gang. My informers told me there are 2 Gangs but there is only one. They all had the same hair cut. They looked mean. I asked God what do you want me to say to them.

God said, “Take cookies and milk to them. Serve them and pray out loud to them and read Jeremiah 29:11 to them. Then ask them if they wanted their names written in the Book of Life.”

The leaders name was Antonio. He asked, “What’s your name.”

I said, “My name is Sonny.”

Antonio said, “Who sent you.”

I said, “My Lord and Savior. His name is Jesus Christ. He wants to transform your hearts. All you have to do is ask Jesus to forgive all your sins and ask him to come into your hearts. Jesus Christ will forgive you and forget everything you have done. He will give you a new purpose in this World to live for Jesus Christ.”

Antonio said, “He won’t forgive me. What’s your last words before I shoot you man?”

I said, “I forgive you and love you like Jesus Christ has loved me and forgiven me.”

The pistol clicked and clicked but it wouldn’t work.

I said, “My King Jesus Christ won’t let it work because he sent me to you so you can give your heart to him.”

They started to get in their cars except 12. They threw their pistols in the cars and stayed with me. I took them to the airport and they called their families. The 12 gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. the Families payed for their tickets to go home. They took them all back. My King gets all the Victory. Thank you for praying for me.
