1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,480 Hello folks. This is Princess. 2 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,720 You are listening to the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,200 Thanks for listening. Don't forget to share with your 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,800 friends. That's tough. 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,280 We're in a very tough spot. I think that what we're doing 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,720 right now is a great benefit in virtue because it's an end 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,880 around between this whole corrupt informational system, 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,260 media system. We claim to believe in a God who 9 00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:31,580 spoke the universe into existence and literally raised 10 00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:35,940 himself from the dead, and yet we are not going to believe that 11 00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:39,100 anything else exists in the spirit realm, even though His 12 00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:42,740 word tells us that they do. Their bodies weren't permitted 13 00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:47,020 to go to sleep like humans do, and they weren't permitted to go 14 00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:48,940 to. Heaven, so they wander the. 15 00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,740 Earth. You know, I've seen the eyes 16 00:00:51,740 --> 00:00:55,060 turn black to unknown tongues being spoken. 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,400 These giants. Would live way up in the island. 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,400 The young, Braves the young. Would hide them in the. 19 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,200 They wait for one of these 12. Footers to come? 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,440 Walking down the path. And they would jump. 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,360 On them. And kill them and. 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,680 Drag them back to. The village and the village. 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:17,480 Would feast on the body. Then people start to get 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,080 weapons. They start to get armor, they 25 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,920 start to build cities. They start to fortify their 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,560 cities. Now God looks down and there's 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,520 violence everywhere. The battle, this war that we are 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,480 at is not against each other. It's against these 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,040 principalities and these rulers and these archons in the high 30 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,520 places. It's really worthwhile to read 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,360 the Bible yourself. Fear is one of the. 32 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,960 Primary drivers of mind control. Because we have to. 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,280 Take. Every thought. 34 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,160 Captive and resist fear. You're going to have a testimony 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,680 that is a justice case against the Kingdom of Darkness. 36 00:02:14,650 --> 00:02:16,730 Welcome back to the show, everybody. 37 00:02:16,730 --> 00:02:19,650 I'm your host, Rod.

Thank you for having me. 104 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,760 Absolutely. So why don't you start off just 105 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,360 telling us a little bit about yourself, what you're doing and 106 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,720 what is going on with the Ministry right now, and then 107 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,280 we'll dive into your testimony. Sure. 108 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,920 Klaus and I have been married for a little over 2 years now. 109 00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:37,180 And together we travel, we evangelize, we have a ministry 110 00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:41,580 together, and we also have our own separate ministries. 111 00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:44,380 My ministry is called Walkworthy. 112 00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:49,100 It's a ladies ministry that is geared towards equipping women 113 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,140 to walk in their God-given calling and purpose. 114 00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,360 I also am extremely passionate about medical missions, so I am 115 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,520 endeavoring to do that. I'm in the process of finishing 116 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,560 up medical school in hopes of soon launching the Apostolic 117 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Organization or the Apostolic Surgeon Organization, and that 118 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,240 will be focused on Apostolic medical missions. 119 00:07:18,510 --> 00:07:22,830 I serve as a minister at my local church, and I am also the 120 00:07:22,830 --> 00:07:27,150 Global missions director at my local church, as well as a small 121 00:07:27,150 --> 00:07:33,030 group leader of a group of about eight women so heavily involved 122 00:07:33,030 --> 00:07:38,150 in ministry, very active, very passionate about disciplining 123 00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:42,990 and pouring into others, really loving, loving people, loving 124 00:07:42,990 --> 00:07:47,590 God's people and trying to do that the best way that I know. 125 00:07:50,110 --> 00:07:53,950 That is, that's powerful. I didn't know about the medical 126 00:07:53,950 --> 00:07:55,430 school. So that's super cool. 127 00:07:55,790 --> 00:07:58,390 And you're really walking and you're calling. 128 00:07:58,790 --> 00:08:03,550 And so I believe your testimony that there's other women and men 129 00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:07,030 out there right now that may be struggling and striving to hear 130 00:08:07,030 --> 00:08:10,430 what God is calling them to do, to just get clarity with all the 131 00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:12,430 different messages and signals in the world. 132 00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:15,710 Sometimes listening to somebody else's story, we can kind of 133 00:08:15,710 --> 00:08:17,110 perk up a little bit and go, wow. 134 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,920 Okay. So that's similar to maybe what 135 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,640 I was experiencing or that that's the way that maybe God 136 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,480 was trying to actually get through to me. 137 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,360 So let let's let's dive into your testimony. 138 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,919 So where where were you born and raised and when did you first 139 00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:35,360 come to Christ? What was that defining moment 140 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,840 where you're like, I'm all in, I'm serving the king of kings. 141 00:08:41,049 --> 00:08:43,850 I was born and raised in Tampa, FL. 142 00:08:44,530 --> 00:08:50,810 I'm actually, I'm Indian. My parents are from Trinidad and 143 00:08:51,690 --> 00:08:55,490 and so our background is religion wise. 144 00:08:55,530 --> 00:08:59,810 Our background was Hindu. So my parents are Hindu. 145 00:08:59,810 --> 00:09:04,210 I grew up as Hindu. I always knew that there was a 146 00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:07,370 God. I always believed in God. 147 00:09:08,140 --> 00:09:12,300 When it would be raining I would say ohh God is sad. 148 00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:15,300 Or if it was thundering I'd say God is angry. 149 00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:19,900 I I always knew that there was a God and even though I was a 150 00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:25,860 practicing Hindu, it wasn't ever anything that I had a a very 151 00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:30,460 deep, thorough understanding of. It was very just because it was 152 00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:37,580 my culture, and out of tradition and habit I knew a few things I. 153 00:09:38,780 --> 00:09:42,420 I really started exploring Christianity when I was in 154 00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:47,020 college. I want to say I was we had a a 155 00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:50,660 friend group of about four or five girls and most of them were 156 00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:54,660 all from different states or different parts of town, and so 157 00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:58,300 they didn't have cars. I was the only one that had a 158 00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:03,100 car in my friend group and one of our friends liked to go to 159 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,520 church. And I would feel bad to just 160 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,520 drop them off and not go to church. 161 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,240 So I. I. 162 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:14,880 We would all go to church together and and so that that's 163 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,200 kind of how it started off. It started off in college going 164 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,640 to church with my friends and that's when I really first 165 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:29,720 started reading the word, knowing scriptures and pursuing 166 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,120 a relationship with God. I got. 167 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,960 I didn't get back. Okay go. 168 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,880 Ahead. Well, this is all like brand new 169 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,320 for me, so I didn't know this is the background. 170 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,280 So real quick, how does that work with the rest of your 171 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,560 family? Are you the only Christian like 172 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:51,520 in your family? No, I'm not my great 173 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,120 grandmother. She passed now, but she was 174 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,520 Christian and my grandmother is Christian. 175 00:10:58,170 --> 00:11:00,970 I have also an uncle who's Christian. 176 00:11:01,290 --> 00:11:04,570 There are family members scattered throughout who are 177 00:11:05,010 --> 00:11:06,850 Christian. I wouldn't say that they're. 178 00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:10,450 I would say they're as deep in it as I am. 179 00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:15,170 My parents are not yet, but you know, I'm believing. 180 00:11:15,330 --> 00:11:19,730 I'm believing God for for their salvation for my mom and my dad 181 00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:25,200 and my sisters. And and it was, it was very 182 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,480 difficult in the beginning because there were so many 183 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:36,040 extreme changes within myself, the way I dressed or even just 184 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,640 like, you know, drinking, having a drink at dinner. 185 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,800 I wouldn't do that. I stopped wearing makeup and. 186 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,520 And so there were a lot of changes that they didn't 187 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,850 understand or agree with. And they're very strong minded, 188 00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:57,970 opinionated people. And you know, of course, well, 189 00:11:58,010 --> 00:12:01,730 you may or may not know, but in the Indian culture, there's 190 00:12:01,730 --> 00:12:06,530 heavy emphasis on wealth and money and you show that through 191 00:12:06,850 --> 00:12:11,530 jewelry and makeup and materialistic things, where as 192 00:12:11,570 --> 00:12:16,530 in Christianity, it's more about living a meek, humble lifestyle. 193 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,520 And so I think that that's where the most tension grew from 194 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,000 because I would get, you know, these comments from my sister 195 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,840 like, well, why aren't you wearing any jewelry or where are 196 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,800 your earrings? And and so there was a lot of 197 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,920 persecution in the beginning that was very hard for me to 198 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:36,640 take. Wow. 199 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,920 Yeah, well, well, I know. I know from the perspective of 200 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,080 like when I came to the Lord. I had to, like, reinvent myself, 201 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,520 right? I had to let go of this music 202 00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,680 and the partying and just this culture. 203 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,200 And and that was difficult because it's like you're coming. 204 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,040 I was coming out of this like, you know, Pennsylvania, 205 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,240 southeastern Pennsylvania, around the Philadelphia area. 206 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,200 It was just the culture that I grew up in. 207 00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,080 It was cheese, steak, chicken fingers. 208 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,040 People were smoking weed. There was a lot of house 209 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,080 parties, everybody, you know, it was crazy. 210 00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:14,140 To put the kibosh on all of that and then find myself kind of 211 00:13:14,140 --> 00:13:15,820 alone and you feel like a target. 212 00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:20,220 So I can only imagine, like, just hearing, you know, you have 213 00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:23,860 this cultural impression where not everybody in your family 214 00:13:23,860 --> 00:13:26,340 even understands Christianity because at least people in the 215 00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:29,060 world, they have a concept of what Christianity is in America. 216 00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:31,060 They're like, oh, you're one of those Christians, you know, 217 00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:34,660 like, we get that all the time. But to actually like, you know, 218 00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:37,300 see that, you know, you're having this cultural difference 219 00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:40,880 where, like they're expressing. Their wealth or what they feel 220 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,120 is power through, you know, like you said, jewelry or just this 221 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,680 authority or this position, right, Vehicles, houses, 222 00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:50,760 whatever it is, But you have this meekness, this reserved 223 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,640 power that's growing on the inside, but you don't look or 224 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,920 follow them with the attire on the outside. 225 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,440 So that wow, that's pretty deep now. 226 00:14:01,170 --> 00:14:03,770 What is it? What does it look like to have 227 00:14:03,770 --> 00:14:05,370 family gatherings at this point in time? 228 00:14:05,370 --> 00:14:07,570 Like, I'm just, I'm just going to ask a simple question, but 229 00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:11,010 take it from there and just, you know, dive into your testimony. 230 00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:14,170 But are they peaceable with you at this point in time? 231 00:14:14,170 --> 00:14:17,530 Like are they starting to understand the changes that are 232 00:14:17,530 --> 00:14:20,610 happening on the inside in your belief versus just comparing 233 00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:23,490 with the outside? Yes. 234 00:14:23,490 --> 00:14:28,570 So the first year was probably the most difficult. 235 00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:33,790 And and and that that's where I really faced a lot of that 236 00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:39,990 persecution and a lot of the the tensions with spending time 237 00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:43,910 together and and things of that nature because I'm very close 238 00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:47,030 with my family. I'm my older sister is 239 00:14:47,150 --> 00:14:49,070 essentially one of my best friends. 240 00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:52,230 My mom and I are very close. I'm a daddy's girl. 241 00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:55,950 I'm the baby of my family and so. 242 00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:59,470 And so it was really difficult for the first year. 243 00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:03,390 And actually I back slid. I back slid because of all the 244 00:15:03,390 --> 00:15:08,590 pressure when I first I first got baptized in Jesus name and 245 00:15:08,590 --> 00:15:12,990 filled with the Holy Ghost. February 7th, 2017. 246 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:17,110 It was a Wednesday night. It was a midweek service. 247 00:15:18,030 --> 00:15:21,910 It was my first time stepping into an Apostolic Church. 248 00:15:22,270 --> 00:15:27,710 A previous coworker. Had made a Facebook post who 249 00:15:27,710 --> 00:15:31,830 wants to come to church? And some of the back story of 250 00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:35,910 that was I had gone through a string of bad relationships. 251 00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:39,830 I was in an abusive relationship before that. 252 00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:43,510 The guy was dating actually ended up having a stroke and 253 00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:48,630 everyone blamed me for it and and so I had already cut myself 254 00:15:48,630 --> 00:15:52,910 off from like all my friends and all the partying and going out 255 00:15:52,910 --> 00:15:57,800 and all of those things. And throughout that time I was, 256 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,200 I was in medical school and then I was forced to stop and I 257 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,080 started working a full time job and and so I felt really lost. 258 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,360 I felt very confused. I didn't know what my next steps 259 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,920 were going to be and I just wanted to go back to school. 260 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,200 I just wanted to finish medical school. 261 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,080 So I was really at a point in my life where, like I said, I was 262 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,110 just feeling completely lost. When my coworker made that 263 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:32,510 status, I at that time I had been searching for a a church 264 00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:36,950 because a couple weeks prior I went to a women's. 265 00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:40,450 Empowerment conference. It was like a Christian women's 266 00:16:40,450 --> 00:16:44,130 empowerment conference with one of my friends and all these 267 00:16:44,130 --> 00:16:47,250 women were talking about their church home and their church 268 00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:51,690 family and you know the significance and the impact in 269 00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:54,570 their lives of having this church family. 270 00:16:54,970 --> 00:16:59,890 And I, even though my family was there in Tampa, I still always 271 00:16:59,890 --> 00:17:04,569 felt alone and isolated. I felt like something was 272 00:17:04,569 --> 00:17:09,890 missing. And so I I after telling that 273 00:17:09,890 --> 00:17:13,609 conference, I said, well, I'm gonna find myself a church home. 274 00:17:13,970 --> 00:17:17,290 And I went on Facebook and I asked for recommendations and I 275 00:17:17,290 --> 00:17:19,930 got a whole list of recommendations. 276 00:17:19,930 --> 00:17:23,650 And I went that first Sunday to a church I visited. 277 00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:27,730 It was good, But I felt like I needed more. 278 00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:32,370 So I thought I would have to wait till the next Sunday, not 279 00:17:32,370 --> 00:17:35,970 knowing that Wednesday night was a church service. 280 00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:39,500 And I was supposed to hang out with my sister that night, but 281 00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:43,340 something was just drawing on me that I needed to go. 282 00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:50,660 So I went and the pastor preached and and so my friend, 283 00:17:51,340 --> 00:17:57,580 she sat down next to me and I just broke down crying. 284 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,080 And she was asking me what, what was wrong. 285 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,760 And I just told her how I felt so lost. 286 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,640 And I didn't know what I was doing. 287 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,320 I wasn't working. I wasn't in school. 288 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,360 I just felt really lost, like I didn't know what my next steps 289 00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:15,160 would be. And I grew up as someone who 290 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,880 always had a plan, always had an outline, always, you know, very 291 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,320 accomplished, did well in school, always knew I was going 292 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,450 to be a doctor. You know, everything had always 293 00:18:26,450 --> 00:18:29,810 been laid out for me. So this was the first time I 294 00:18:29,810 --> 00:18:32,210 really battled with something like that. 295 00:18:33,330 --> 00:18:36,690 And she talked to me about baptism in Jesus name. 296 00:18:37,050 --> 00:18:40,970 And I had been baptized before when I was in college, but it 297 00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:44,810 was one of those Friday night youth event kind of things and I 298 00:18:44,810 --> 00:18:48,530 really didn't agree to it or know what was happening. 299 00:18:48,530 --> 00:18:51,970 They just kind of said who hasn't been baptized and then? 300 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:55,430 Took us all into the back and baptized us. 301 00:18:55,830 --> 00:19:01,830 So that was different. So so I wasn't sure what they 302 00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:04,190 said. So when she was asking me, well 303 00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:06,430 did you have you been baptized in Jesus name? 304 00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:10,430 And since I wasn't sure, my thing is like, well, I'm just 305 00:19:10,430 --> 00:19:12,630 going to do it again just to make sure. 306 00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:17,750 So I got baptized in Jesus name that night and then they said, 307 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:20,470 do you want the Holy Ghost? And I said yes. 308 00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:23,620 And they prayed for me and I received the Holy Ghost. 309 00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:28,380 And it's an experience and a feeling that I'll never forget. 310 00:19:29,140 --> 00:19:32,500 It was like this. Electricity came up through my 311 00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:36,940 right hand and my began in my fingers and just went up through 312 00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:40,300 my arm and like across my body. And I just. 313 00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,820 I felt God. I like. 314 00:19:42,820 --> 00:19:47,460 I felt him and a way that I had never felt him before. 315 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,480 And and it was amazing. And I felt whole. 316 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,080 I felt healed. I felt joy. 317 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,120 I felt peace. It it was that joy, unspeakable, 318 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,800 that that so many of us talk about Nothing could get me down. 319 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,440 I mean, I was go. I was still going through it. 320 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,440 I still had all the same problems. 321 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,870 But. I knew that I would never have 322 00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:15,830 to be alone again. I would never have to feel that 323 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:18,390 loneliness. Something I didn't mention 324 00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:22,150 before was that I had been suicidal. 325 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:27,110 I was suicidal when I was in college and then I was suicidal 326 00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:32,430 during that season prior to deciding to to look for a job or 327 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:36,350 a church. Because I was talking about how 328 00:20:36,350 --> 00:20:41,580 I had this string of bad relationships and and that led 329 00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:45,780 me to you know, want to take a whole bunch of pills, you know 330 00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:49,540 just end all the pain and and just be gone. 331 00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:52,140 Because I've. I felt like it would better be 332 00:20:52,140 --> 00:20:55,060 better for me to just die than to than to live. 333 00:20:55,060 --> 00:20:58,180 How I was living. And all that pain and all that 334 00:20:58,180 --> 00:21:03,900 hurt and all the rejection and and just the the trauma that I 335 00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:08,740 had gone through in my life through like my family and 336 00:21:08,740 --> 00:21:12,220 relationships and just disappointments and hurts that 337 00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:14,660 happen. As if you go through life and 338 00:21:14,660 --> 00:21:19,420 you get older. And God he you know he instantly 339 00:21:19,420 --> 00:21:22,780 removed all of that I had. I turn. 340 00:21:22,780 --> 00:21:25,980 I turn to all the things that people turn to in the world. 341 00:21:26,180 --> 00:21:30,900 I turn to drinking. I turn to drugs, smoking, and 342 00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:33,820 and trying to numb the pain and escape reality. 343 00:21:34,020 --> 00:21:38,140 I did all of those things, but at the end of the day, you know, 344 00:21:38,180 --> 00:21:40,700 it didn't take away the pain or the hurt. 345 00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:46,380 Not like when I was filled with the Holy Ghost and it felt as 346 00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:52,180 though God came in to my broken heart and healed every every 347 00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:58,220 crack and every crevice every hole and and I felt that peace 348 00:21:58,220 --> 00:22:03,700 and that joy and and that's when things really started to change 349 00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:06,540 for me. And I mentioned that I I back 350 00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:09,940 slid. I back slid for a couple of 351 00:22:09,940 --> 00:22:12,500 months. I was in the church for about 352 00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:17,100 six months and then the pressures just became too much 353 00:22:17,140 --> 00:22:21,740 and certain things happened at church and I felt like I don't 354 00:22:21,740 --> 00:22:23,580 need to deal with this. And I left. 355 00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:26,210 And I and I kind of battled with it. 356 00:22:26,210 --> 00:22:29,290 I struggled with it. But I always prayed. 357 00:22:29,370 --> 00:22:33,170 I never stopped praying. I never stopped seeking God. 358 00:22:33,170 --> 00:22:37,410 And I would say to God, well, if it's your will for me to go back 359 00:22:37,410 --> 00:22:41,330 eventually I'll go back. And I did start to make my way 360 00:22:41,330 --> 00:22:46,530 back. I didn't fully recommit myself 361 00:22:47,130 --> 00:22:53,820 till about six months after when I started going back. 362 00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:58,980 So it's about September of the following year, September 2018. 363 00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:04,020 And for me the difference was relationship, because when I 364 00:23:04,020 --> 00:23:07,980 first got saved, I was doing all these things in the church. 365 00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:11,500 It was a smaller church and they needed help and and I had the 366 00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,820 time and I had the giftings and the talent. 367 00:23:14,820 --> 00:23:19,460 So of course I was going to give myself to helping, but in doing 368 00:23:19,460 --> 00:23:23,580 that, I neglected nurturing and building my relationship with 369 00:23:23,580 --> 00:23:26,660 God. And in those months that I was 370 00:23:26,660 --> 00:23:31,500 away, I I was able to pray and pursue him and grow in my 371 00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,540 relationship with him. Meanwhile, still being in the 372 00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:37,620 world, still going back to doing all those things I was doing 373 00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:41,100 before. But but God was with me and he 374 00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:45,820 was giving me that grace and he was building me up to go back. 375 00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:50,820 So when I went back, I was rooted in who I was. 376 00:23:51,140 --> 00:23:54,900 And because I was rooted in who I was, I knew who I was in 377 00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:57,180 Christ and who he called me to be. 378 00:23:57,580 --> 00:24:03,460 I I had a confidence now where I was, I was social and I was 379 00:24:03,540 --> 00:24:06,900 hanging out with these people. I was being used by God and 380 00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:11,500 getting all these opportunities to to testify and and to help 381 00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:16,340 start organizations and do marketing for all the churches. 382 00:24:16,340 --> 00:24:22,060 Because we're where a network of about more now but at that time 383 00:24:22,060 --> 00:24:28,300 about 27 churches and you know really helped to to do some 384 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,620 vital work for the ministry of God. 385 00:24:30,820 --> 00:24:35,740 But it's it was about that balance of Mary and Martha that 386 00:24:35,740 --> 00:24:40,430 I had, you know, prayer. Prayer was prayer was vital. 387 00:24:40,430 --> 00:24:43,790 It was important to me. I made time for prayer. 388 00:24:43,790 --> 00:24:46,350 I made time for my relationships with God. 389 00:24:46,590 --> 00:24:50,710 And I saw a difference even in how I was the marketing and 390 00:24:50,710 --> 00:24:55,630 events director for my church when I first got there and and 391 00:24:55,630 --> 00:24:59,470 when I returned they asked me to come back into those positions 392 00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:02,430 and I did. And I saw such a difference 393 00:25:02,430 --> 00:25:07,110 because now everything was God. Let everything was God inspired. 394 00:25:07,390 --> 00:25:11,150 The Flyers, the colors, the events, everything was God 395 00:25:11,310 --> 00:25:14,270 working through me. And because it was God, 396 00:25:14,550 --> 00:25:18,510 everything was now fruitful. Wow. 397 00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:23,470 So yeah. That's powerful. 398 00:25:23,910 --> 00:25:27,630 That's powerful. So it's almost like. 399 00:25:28,890 --> 00:25:33,410 God get is like waking us up to Our Calling and and what does a 400 00:25:33,410 --> 00:25:37,290 good father do, right? Because like for me, the way 401 00:25:37,290 --> 00:25:39,890 that I grew up is like me and my dad didn't have the best 402 00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:42,930 relationship. You kind of was working a lot 403 00:25:42,930 --> 00:25:45,770 and going a lot and when he was around it was always like, okay, 404 00:25:45,770 --> 00:25:47,570 don't do anything wrong, walking on eggshells. 405 00:25:47,570 --> 00:25:51,690 So when I came to Christ, I came with like this, oh, I got to be, 406 00:25:51,970 --> 00:25:53,850 I got to be perfect. I can't do nothing wrong. 407 00:25:53,850 --> 00:25:56,110 And then? I'm feeling like I was going to 408 00:25:56,110 --> 00:25:59,070 get squashed like a bug when I started to backslide and and 409 00:25:59,070 --> 00:26:02,110 wrestle with things. So I hear other people's stories 410 00:26:02,230 --> 00:26:05,990 and what I'm seeing is just like, God is a good father. 411 00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:09,190 Like he's just waiting. He's like, I have a calling for 412 00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:10,790 you. I have an anointing for you. 413 00:26:11,310 --> 00:26:15,110 And like, just him seeing the finished product of Jesus Christ 414 00:26:15,150 --> 00:26:17,910 in us. No wonder why it's a double 415 00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:20,470 portion of grace when we're figuring it out, because I 416 00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:22,590 really feel like God is so patient with us. 417 00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:27,020 And and really just he, he knows how much bondage from the 418 00:26:27,020 --> 00:26:29,340 secular things that we go through, the things with our 419 00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:33,340 family, all the systematic desensitizations, the Airways, 420 00:26:33,340 --> 00:26:36,300 the frequencies of the enemy posturing himself to try to 421 00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:39,020 defeat us. We're really walking miracles, 422 00:26:39,020 --> 00:26:41,140 to be honest with you, Stacy. We're all of us. 423 00:26:41,140 --> 00:26:44,740 We're walking miracles. And then God is calling us out 424 00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:48,060 of the darkness is like, That's what keeps me in love with God 425 00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:51,690 even more, Just at like. Where I'm at right now, because 426 00:26:51,690 --> 00:26:54,210 I'm going, God, you just keep leading me closer to you. 427 00:26:54,490 --> 00:26:55,970 Like I don't bring nothing to the table. 428 00:26:56,010 --> 00:26:58,210 I'm. I'm nobody but you. 429 00:26:59,290 --> 00:27:02,250 Oh, the majesty of the king. So I love hearing. 430 00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:05,730 I love hearing that story because that's cool. 431 00:27:05,970 --> 00:27:08,410 So you're still in these roles. You're still working with 432 00:27:08,410 --> 00:27:10,410 churches. You're ministering. 433 00:27:10,410 --> 00:27:12,410 You're with the small woman's group. 434 00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:15,890 You're training up other women, which is that's so biblical. 435 00:27:15,890 --> 00:27:17,490 Women, listen to me for one second. 436 00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:22,030 When you start living godly, God is working this out in you and 437 00:27:22,030 --> 00:27:25,390 he's showing you things. We have to be willing to bury 438 00:27:25,390 --> 00:27:27,070 each other's burdens and so fulfill the law. 439 00:27:27,070 --> 00:27:29,790 We have to be willing to be like, listen, I'm going to start 440 00:27:29,790 --> 00:27:32,590 the small group never despise small beginnings. 441 00:27:32,590 --> 00:27:37,070 I learned that and a core group of of women that you're you're 442 00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:39,910 it's like a Bible study.

At in this life you will face 464 00:29:08,630 --> 00:29:10,630 offense. You know Jesus says that. 465 00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:14,070 And we know that we're in the last days and many will be 466 00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:17,550 deceived and many will be deceived because of offense. 467 00:29:17,950 --> 00:29:23,650 So I feel very strongly you know about that, that teaching that 468 00:29:23,650 --> 00:29:26,290 I'm doing. Again with everything that I do 469 00:29:26,290 --> 00:29:28,930 for ministry, it's God led, God inspired. 470 00:29:28,930 --> 00:29:32,850 I don't want to do anything of my own will or my own volition. 471 00:29:32,850 --> 00:29:36,810 So I felt led to do a summer series on the bait of Satan. 472 00:29:36,810 --> 00:29:39,890 So we're about in Week 3 right now. 473 00:29:40,870 --> 00:29:42,830 So that's what's going on with that. 474 00:29:43,230 --> 00:29:45,750 On YouTube. I'm Stacy Chavez, but you can 475 00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:49,350 find all the walk worthy videos on there as well. 476 00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:53,710 And I'm very active on social media, on my Facebook and my 477 00:29:53,710 --> 00:29:56,190 Instagram. People reach out to me for with 478 00:29:56,190 --> 00:29:59,070 questions, for mentoring or counseling. 479 00:29:59,070 --> 00:30:03,950 I also do mentorships as well and not just with ladies that 480 00:30:03,950 --> 00:30:07,950 are here, but anywhere because I know that it's hard. 481 00:30:07,950 --> 00:30:13,990 It's hard being a woman trying to do what God called you to do. 482 00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:19,710 And we're not always surrounded by strong women of faith that 483 00:30:19,710 --> 00:30:23,270 will pour into us and help us and guide us and lead us. 484 00:30:23,670 --> 00:30:26,470 Thankfully, that was not ever my story. 485 00:30:26,470 --> 00:30:31,350 I had so many women to pour into me and to guide me and lead me 486 00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:35,230 when I first started my walk. So I feel that it's only right 487 00:30:35,230 --> 00:30:40,450 that that I do, that I yeah, I'm just very passionate about 488 00:30:40,450 --> 00:30:45,290 equipping and enabling women. While the world aims to have 489 00:30:45,290 --> 00:30:49,090 women pit themselves against each other and make everything a 490 00:30:49,090 --> 00:30:52,610 competition, we know that as women of God, we should be 491 00:30:52,610 --> 00:30:55,210 praying for one another, uplifting one another, 492 00:30:55,410 --> 00:30:58,610 supporting one another. There's more than enough room 493 00:30:58,850 --> 00:31:01,930 for all of our giftings and talents, for all of our 494 00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:06,330 abilities, and we can accomplish so much more together than we 495 00:31:06,330 --> 00:31:10,790 could ever apart. Wow. 496 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:16,310 Very well said. And that drive and that passion. 497 00:31:17,390 --> 00:31:20,310 I I love the last part that you said there's plenty of room for 498 00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:23,510 all of us and God's gifting and our ability because we there's 499 00:31:23,510 --> 00:31:28,990 just so much that we have vision and dream to come to pass, 500 00:31:28,990 --> 00:31:30,270 right. And it's like there's there's so 501 00:31:30,270 --> 00:31:32,830 many things that we know God is moving and wants to do. 502 00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:36,710 But I believe from God's perspective it involves like. 503 00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:39,670 A lot more people than are currently participating. 504 00:31:40,910 --> 00:31:44,590 So when I see somebody who's like full-fledged and feeding 505 00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:47,230 flock and and training our people and just taking that 506 00:31:47,230 --> 00:31:51,470 time, I believe that's bringing the bigger picture into focus. 507 00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:57,390 Because we're supposed to pray for more laborers, right? 508 00:31:57,390 --> 00:32:01,230 Because the harvest is is going to become more plentiful, but 509 00:32:01,230 --> 00:32:03,910 the laborers are few. And so when we're we're. 510 00:32:04,260 --> 00:32:08,660 Planting that seed and watering that seed, it's a good wage and 511 00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:10,860 God is going to get glory because he's going to cause it 512 00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:15,740 to grow. So interesting, very interesting 513 00:32:15,740 --> 00:32:20,060 story. And then I know you've came up 514 00:32:20,060 --> 00:32:24,500 here, you and Klaus, a few Times Now, and we've had some powerful 515 00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:29,060 prayers together I want you to talk a little bit about. 516 00:32:30,130 --> 00:32:33,570 What the drive and the mission is that God is is leading and 517 00:32:33,570 --> 00:32:37,690 tugging you guys too. I mean we can even talk about 518 00:32:37,690 --> 00:32:39,810 like greater than Azusa Street, right? 519 00:32:40,370 --> 00:32:43,730 That is starting to pop up now where we know God is doing 520 00:32:43,930 --> 00:32:46,970 certain things with people all around the country and and 521 00:32:46,970 --> 00:32:49,450 within the states around us, right. 522 00:32:50,490 --> 00:32:53,770 So talk a little bit about how God has been preparing you guys, 523 00:32:53,770 --> 00:32:56,890 and I mean any the good, the bad, the ugly, whatever you feel 524 00:32:56,890 --> 00:33:00,550 like sharing. But help us understand. 525 00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:03,830 So as other people start to minister and they start to go 526 00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:07,470 out and walk faith on a line of faith, maybe maybe there's 527 00:33:07,470 --> 00:33:13,270 something you can say that they can relate to A lot of people. 528 00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:18,310 When I first got saved, I think I had been saved for maybe about 529 00:33:18,310 --> 00:33:21,110 a year or two. I think I was saved for two 530 00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:26,940 years and the church that I came out of or moved from, I should 531 00:33:26,940 --> 00:33:31,580 say, when I got married, had a has a Bible school where you can 532 00:33:31,580 --> 00:33:34,380 go through all the classes and you can become a licensed 533 00:33:34,380 --> 00:33:38,660 minister. And I felt that I was called to 534 00:33:38,660 --> 00:33:42,300 become a licensed minister. So I started these classes, of 535 00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:46,610 course, with the approval and support of my lead pastor, and 536 00:33:46,610 --> 00:33:49,290 lots of people told me that I was crazy. 537 00:33:49,650 --> 00:33:52,570 You're crazy for pursuing your minister's license. 538 00:33:52,570 --> 00:33:55,850 Once you start preaching, once you start ministering, that's 539 00:33:55,930 --> 00:33:59,210 that's when the enemy really starts to go after you. 540 00:33:59,410 --> 00:34:02,770 You know, you're putting a target on your back. 541 00:34:03,170 --> 00:34:07,960 And I thought, what is stupid reason to not do what God called 542 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,040 you to do? So I went ahead and I I still I 543 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,360 did it. I I took all the classes. 544 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:17,280 You know, I'm going to, I'm going to do what God called me 545 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,440 to do. And if I'm doing it, I'm doing 546 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,400 what God called me to do, then I know that God is going to 547 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,280 protect me and he's going to see me through. 548 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,800 And just like it says in James count it all joy when when these 549 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,120 Childs come knowing that you are being perfected and and that 550 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,280 scripture has been a caring theme in my life probably for 551 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,360 the last maybe four or five years. 552 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:50,300 And and Klaus and I were just friends when we talked about all 553 00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:53,380 the ministries we were going to have and all the things that we 554 00:34:53,380 --> 00:34:55,900 were going to do. That's really how our our 555 00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:59,780 friendship came about was talking about God and who God is 556 00:34:59,780 --> 00:35:03,660 and and all the things that we wanted to accomplish for God. 557 00:35:03,660 --> 00:35:07,620 And so we always knew that we were going to do all these great 558 00:35:07,620 --> 00:35:13,580 big things for God. And when when this year started 559 00:35:13,580 --> 00:35:19,710 and and Klaus got the vision for greater than Azusa was confirmed 560 00:35:19,710 --> 00:35:24,950 over and over and over. The word that God gave me for 561 00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:29,430 this year is unprecedented. God said he is going to do 562 00:35:29,470 --> 00:35:36,630 unprecedented things this year. And we know that Azusa started 563 00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:41,840 out of prayer meetings and we really need to get back to the 564 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,360 basics of prayer meetings and seeking a move of God. 565 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:51,600 And even with what happened at Asbury the a few months ago, it 566 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,840 was birthed out of a prayer meeting. 567 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,560 It was birthed out of out of a group of students tearing in the 568 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:03,270 Lord and and we have gotten so far away from that. 569 00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:07,430 Now church services are preaching for 45 minutes and 570 00:36:07,430 --> 00:36:11,750 praying at the altar for 10 to 15 minutes, when really it needs 571 00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:15,470 to be the opposite. It needs to be praying for 45 572 00:36:15,470 --> 00:36:20,550 minutes to an hour, probably more with very minimal preaching 573 00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:23,750 and teaching. We don't really need to to do 574 00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:27,750 that much preaching, especially to the saved you. 575 00:36:27,870 --> 00:36:30,950 You preach to the boss, you teach the saved. 576 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:36,310 And so we kind of have to correct a lot of church culture 577 00:36:36,470 --> 00:36:42,740 as it is today in America. You wouldn't think it, but there 578 00:36:42,740 --> 00:36:47,180 are so many places in the United States where people don't have a 579 00:36:47,180 --> 00:36:50,260 church, they don't have a church in their area that they can go 580 00:36:50,260 --> 00:36:54,620 to or they don't have a church in their area teaching truth. 581 00:36:55,060 --> 00:36:58,820 And so Klaus and I have a burden to go to those areas. 582 00:36:58,900 --> 00:37:01,380 You know, we go up to Pennsylvania, we go to Northern 583 00:37:01,380 --> 00:37:04,960 Virginia. There's a church that Klaus 584 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,960 pastors, the pastor of that church in Louisiana. 585 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,240 And I know that there are more that are going to be coming. 586 00:37:14,060 --> 00:37:17,860 And so we have such a burden for these people because they don't 587 00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:20,060 have a church that they can go to. 588 00:37:20,060 --> 00:37:24,100 They don't have a group of people to fellowship with on a 589 00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:28,500 weekly basis or someone to meet up with them and counsel them or 590 00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:32,060 pour into them. So you do have, you know, that's 591 00:37:32,060 --> 00:37:36,290 why you see these Internet famous preachers, because so 592 00:37:36,290 --> 00:37:39,970 many people now in this day and age are drawing to the Internet 593 00:37:39,970 --> 00:37:43,810 to find truth, to find teachings to be fed. 594 00:37:43,810 --> 00:37:48,210 Because they're they cannot get fed at through any other means. 595 00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:53,890 And this is vital, vital for us to answer the call. 596 00:37:53,890 --> 00:37:58,490 It's vital for us to disciple. It's vital for us to counsel and 597 00:37:58,490 --> 00:38:03,680 to pour into into others. And so we do have people that 598 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,200 reach out to us on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. 599 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:13,440 They need counsel, guidance. We schedule zoom calls for 600 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:19,160 prayer, for counseling and and we do all that we can do to help 601 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,040 these people. And it's a beautiful thing too, 602 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,840 because then we get to connect with so many different people in 603 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,800 other States and other other areas and even in in other parts 604 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,430 of the world. I think it was the end of last 605 00:38:33,430 --> 00:38:38,230 year, I had a girl ask if Klaus and I were going to be coming to 606 00:38:38,470 --> 00:38:43,350 Toronto anytime soon because she wanted to get baptized in Jesus 607 00:38:43,350 --> 00:38:46,350 name. And normally when they're far 608 00:38:46,350 --> 00:38:49,590 away like that, I'll try to find a church that I can connect them 609 00:38:49,590 --> 00:38:52,030 to. If not, you know, we'll find a 610 00:38:52,030 --> 00:38:55,470 way or make a way to meet them somewhere or get to them. 611 00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:59,590 That's how we met Terry Allen. We drove up there to baptize him 612 00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:05,220 and I was able to connect her to a church and she was able to get 613 00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:09,580 baptized and get get the Holy Ghost from an Instagram message. 614 00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:13,860 I mean, you can't make this stuff up, but we all we can't 615 00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:16,620 limit God, you know? And a lot of people try to limit 616 00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:20,260 God that he can't work in on certain avenues or through 617 00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:23,420 certain things. But I got saved through a 618 00:39:23,420 --> 00:39:27,820 Facebook post. I met my husband on Facebook. 619 00:39:27,820 --> 00:39:33,300 I mean, Facebook is responsible for half of my my, my ministry, 620 00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:36,700 my destiny. I mean, like, what a what a 621 00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:40,580 millennial testimony. Like, yeah, Facebook did it. 622 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,240 Exactly. Oh, that's epic. 623 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,760 That is. I'm so happy you're here sharing 624 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,080 this story. I think there's a whole 625 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,320 generation of people that agree the millennial generation are 626 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,240 nodding their heads as they're listening to this. 627 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,440 Yes, exactly. Yes. 628 00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:01,720 But, and I said this on another recording, I'm like, man, if the 629 00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:04,240 Apostle Paul was here, he'd be on a podcast. 630 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,560 Like, he would utilize everything, right? 631 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,000 He'd be writing letters. He would be out on the street. 632 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,360 He'd be on a podcast. He'd be on a YouTube video. 633 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,240 You would literally find him everywhere. 634 00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:15,960 You'd find him in the car yelling out the window as he's 635 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,560 traveling to baptize somebody else. 636 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,360 He'd be like, man, this is much better than walking. 637 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,760 But and and the day and age we live in, we are using the 638 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,720 enemy's Airways, right? Because the Prince of the power, 639 00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:30,680 the air, this enemy, he's got the Airways jacked up. 640 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,480 He has people messed up in all types of ways. 641 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:39,220 But we are on a battlefield and a mission field by doing what 642 00:40:39,220 --> 00:40:41,740 we're doing right now. It is, it is significant 643 00:40:43,020 --> 00:40:45,260 sometimes beyond even what I realized. 644 00:40:45,260 --> 00:40:47,060 Like I'm like, oh podcast, another episode. 645 00:40:47,060 --> 00:40:48,580 I'll pray, I'll say, God, give me wisdom. 646 00:40:48,580 --> 00:40:52,060 I'm interested in this story and I don't just release any episode 647 00:40:52,260 --> 00:40:56,340 on this platform. Like I'll I'll pray about it. 648 00:40:56,340 --> 00:40:59,180 I I try to capture what I see that's beautiful in somebody 649 00:40:59,180 --> 00:41:01,600 else. Or if I know somebody's legit, 650 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,360 like, they really have the heart to be doing this. 651 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,040 They're walking. They're talking. 652 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,760 I try to collaborate with that person. 653 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,680 Like, your story needs to be heard because, hey, we have too 654 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,320 many actors. We have too many actors out 655 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,680 there, and acting is never going to actually make a disciple. 656 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,800 And there's no power in that. There's only people just be 657 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,080 lusting over them, right? They're just, they want what 658 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,200 they have. Oh, I want to be like this 659 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,720 person. Oh, I want to sound like this 660 00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:30,800 person, but really we have the sons and daughters of God that 661 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,840 are starting to come into position of the Eclaicia. 662 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,640 We are starting to come into correct order and position by 663 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,640 networking, praying, what you were saying. 664 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,120 Yes, Oh my goodness, that is what we need to be doing at this 665 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,200 point in time. And man, I'm enjoying this 666 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:52,280 conversation. So let's talk about have you 667 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,400 I've never asked, have you ever had a supernatural experience? 668 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,880 Have you ever had a dream of vision or any anything at all 669 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,960 that deals with the supernatural, like with your 670 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,400 your time in the Lord or even before that? 671 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,360 I've had many. I've had many. 672 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,360 Supernatural. Yeah, I've had many. 673 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,600 Supernatural. Both. 674 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,440 Both. Both before I got saved and 675 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,230 after. Yeah, okay, Are you willing to 676 00:42:22,230 --> 00:42:25,270 share? Share one from before you got 677 00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:28,870 saved and then let's talk about one after and then just just 678 00:42:28,870 --> 00:42:32,270 walk us into it. Share as much as you wanna share 679 00:42:32,710 --> 00:42:39,110 what happened. Well the before I got saved. 680 00:42:39,110 --> 00:42:42,950 I won't go into too too too many details but. 681 00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:51,870 We know with Hinduism and in the West Indian culture there's 682 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:59,270 voodoo like practices and you know very what we know now or 683 00:42:59,270 --> 00:43:01,990 what I know now to be witchcraft. 684 00:43:02,540 --> 00:43:08,980 And so that had gone on. And I just recall always being a 685 00:43:08,980 --> 00:43:11,540 person of prayer. You know, I always gave myself 686 00:43:11,540 --> 00:43:15,060 to prayer and fasting and things of that nature. 687 00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:21,660 And in Hinduism we have what is equivalent to a pastor or priest 688 00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,580 and what it's called a pundit and. 689 00:43:25,350 --> 00:43:28,910 We you can get these readings and they're kind of like 690 00:43:28,950 --> 00:43:31,390 astrological readings, I suppose. 691 00:43:31,390 --> 00:43:37,470 I'm not sure of the ins and outs of it, but a cousin of mine who 692 00:43:37,470 --> 00:43:41,640 I consider like a brother. Had got a reading for me from 693 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:49,080 his pundit and they told him that someone had a a doll of me 694 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:55,280 like a a I guess like a voodoo doll of me and that it had so 695 00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,600 many pins in its in its head that you couldn't even see its 696 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,640 face. And I believe that this was 697 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,520 around the time that I was just starting college and I was going 698 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,000 through a lot of. Difficulties transitioning and 699 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,120 things like that. Which is why I believe that I 700 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,920 reached out for the reading to try to understand what was going 701 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,880 on and I was told to go on a fast which and Hinduism fasting 702 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,640 is basically like a Daniels fast where you just don't eat meat. 703 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:34,000 And I remember being in my room one night and it was like these 704 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:39,450 black. Ghost like figures were just 705 00:44:39,850 --> 00:44:46,370 like swirling in a circle above my bed and I was so scared I 706 00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:51,310 just hid under my covers. And I had never experienced 707 00:44:51,350 --> 00:44:54,510 anything like that before till this day. 708 00:44:54,510 --> 00:44:58,790 I'm not entirely sure you know what was happening or what was 709 00:44:58,790 --> 00:45:03,470 going on, but apparently there was a person who was wishing 710 00:45:03,550 --> 00:45:08,270 evil upon me and wanting me to take my life. 711 00:45:09,230 --> 00:45:13,270 Which did happen. I I did find out afterwards 712 00:45:13,270 --> 00:45:17,550 like, 'cause I mentioned that I had, you know, battled with 713 00:45:17,590 --> 00:45:23,630 being suicidal and my freshman going into sophomore year of 714 00:45:23,630 --> 00:45:27,310 college. I went through some things and 715 00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:33,990 and I had a very big bottle of Motrin and I took a lot of those 716 00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:37,270 pills. I ended up telling one of my 717 00:45:37,270 --> 00:45:40,010 friends. And they took me to the 718 00:45:40,010 --> 00:45:42,810 hospital. I had to get my stomach pumped. 719 00:45:43,210 --> 00:45:46,930 I ended up at Jackson Crisis Center, 'cause I went to College 720 00:45:46,930 --> 00:45:51,210 in Miami, So I was in that area. They wouldn't let me out. 721 00:45:51,210 --> 00:45:56,050 My dad had to come pick me up. It was a horrible experience. 722 00:45:56,050 --> 00:46:01,170 It was so horrible.
