Demon Named Lilith Reveals Sixth-Grade Attachment

driving lift daytime. I picked this lady up. She says, "Hey, how you doing?" I said, "I'm doing good. How about yourself?" She was like, "I'm good." You know who I am? She said, "My name is Lilith. I'm a sucker before. Never knew what a sucker was." She was like, "Well, let me tell you about you." She says, "I know that you wanted to go to the NFL. What else you know about me?" She was like, "I know you like jazz music."

Only two people know I love jazz music. My mom and my wife. Now the hairs on my neck are standing up cuz how you know this? She was like, "You love Jesus." I said, "Yeah, but you a freak though." Okay, let's pause here. So, bro, here I am. Oh, I'm saved. Yeah. What you talking to demons, though? I'm the reason men have wet dreams. Dreams. She said, "I go after faithful ones, people who are faithful to their wives of faith within Christ.

I go after them." You ain't giving nobody no wet dreams. She stopped my thought. Hey, don't look at me like this. I transform in your dreams. By the way, you you got a child on the way. And she says, "You got a son? Don't worry. I'm gonna send my daughter to come after him." Oh, heck no. I self pledge in the shower. The moment I stepped into the shower, I fell eyes looking at me. I can't teach my kids on how to put on condoms.

I can't do that no more, man. The reason why she was that close to you is sitting in your back seat because that's how long she's been attached to you. So, wait a minute. So, you telling me that this been attached to me since sixth grade? Yeah. And every time that you masturbate, every time you watch pornography, every time you go into that sexual morality state, guess what? You marrying her. [music] The enemy loves to walk through the open door of pain and trauma and grief.

Yes, sir. Evil people are not the ones that need deliverance. Yeah. Broken people do. Come on, man. This is no longer a physical need. There's something you're trying to escape from. Okay. you not drinking alcohol, so you turn to your wife and now you want to take advantage of the fact that you guys are supposed to share each other's body and you want to exert your brokenness on her. Come on, man.

No. There's something in you that needs to be filled or there's something that you're trying to escape from. And you're using the euphoria of sex to numb yourself to the real pain that you're enduring. [music] And the Lord reveals himself to me. This is not a podcast. This is a deliverance ministry. God is going to deliver just as many if not more here than he does inside [music] of church buildings.

And you got to keep giving yourself over to it. It's proving it to you over and over. And the weightiness of your anointing, the Lord says thousands will be delivered. I'm so so grateful to be here with my brother Drayen Pierce, but I call him Dre. I mean, I think you can only call him Dre if you're homies. So now we homies, man. Welcome to the We Need to Talk podcast, man.

Chapter 2: Welcoming guest Dralan Pierce

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Man, dude, I'm I'm excited to be here, man. Yes, sir. Man, really excited. and what you doing and how you doing, dude. It's it's amazing to watch, brother. And like this, you know, this experience, this meeting you, man, it's like, man, my brother's doing it. Thank you, brother. And man, thank man, thank you for delivering so many people. Like I said, it's your episodes bring life, dude.

Man, that means it. And then the thing is like, I'm not trying to go too far in it, but every episode you watch, you're now like open to knowledge that you never knew before. And now you you hold responsible. Oh, I was going to say it if you didn't. You [clears throat] hold responsible, bro. And that's that's so each episode is heavy. Oh, cuz once once you get opened up to it, it's like once you know you're held responsible to what you know.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Thank you, brother. Thank you for saying that, man. So, watch at your discretion. Watch knowing that once the Lord exposes you to a level of truth, now you're going to be expected to deal with the responsibility that comes with that truth. And if you're not ready for it, say, "Lord, make me ready. Prepare me. Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary." Man, I I heard a bit of your testimony a little not too long ago.

And you know, I just felt like it was time to have you on to share a bit of what you experienced. and I believe it was

Chapter 3: Dralan's childhood: Growing up with pastor granny

more than just you having that encounter. I believe that from that, God is using you to do tremendous work amongst men in the community. And I want to hear a little bit about that. But first, let's start off with how did you end up in that situation where that moment was more than just a moment for you. So, just take me back to kind of how you, you know, arrived there. Yeah. Let's get to it, man. So, I grew up in I grew up in church for sure.

All right. So, my grandmother, she well, my granny, she was a pastor and I seen her do things that was like amazing, man. Like we talking about feed the feed the homeless, right? I've had school drives. I seen her on on Christmas give gifts to kids. So, I just seen her really like do some do some work. You know what I'm saying? Like I seen her preach. Of course, Sunday was like it was amazing. And I really like, you know, commend on what she did.

But the Monday through Saturday, brother, it was just she was really walking it out, right? So, mind you, this is elementary, so this is, you know, grade 1 through five. I'm seeing this. And it's consistent, right? That's the thing. It's consistent. It's not one year we're doing it, one year we're not. This is no every year, every single, you know, season, something's happening and she's being a part of it.

So her whole makeup was just, hey, I'mma I'mma do this for Christ. She's doing it, man. She did it. So being introduced to that, it kind of man, dude, it got it kind of got me exposed to it, but not with the experience of it. I seen her cast out. I seen her cast out a demon, everything. Like I said, been exposed to it, but not experienced it. So I see it like oh okay that's cool that's cool [laughter] but not actually knowing like how it got there.

So with that, that's how I I was exposed to it, you know, knowing about Christ, you know, seeing how it works and I'm like, okay, this can okay, I guess I stick around for, you know, for a little bit, right? So then with that, that came the the connection of my father, right? So like I like we was talking about earlier, my father passed when I

Chapter 4: Father's death in 6th grade & deep grief

was sixth grade, but the man who was with me side by side taking care of this daily needs and giving me wisdom and knowledge is my dad, right? So the connection between them two, he's a pastor as well. Mhm. And with him being a pastor, he Dude, I'm I'm I'm sorry I get choked up, dude. He died last year, October 1st. Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, dude. And yeah, with him passing October 1st, dude, if God didn't reveal to me everything that I needed to know Mhm.

before that moment happened, dude, this we we can be honest on this podcast, right? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. This wouldn't happen. This moment wouldn't happen. Wow. I'm 100 a million% sure this moment wouldn't happen because when my father passed away in sixth grade, I started to go into this dark place. I'm 35. Nobody was talking about emotions. Nobody's talking about, hey, go see a counselor.

Nobody's really pinpointing out what to do after grief, right? My granny is still there, but yet still I just lost my dad. I lost a I lost an image. I lost somebody who's going to help me navigate through manhood, right? But yet and still doing that absentee. that's when he comes in, right? Sixth grade going into seventh grade. [laughter] I crazy. It Chris crazy. Say out loud. I go to his church to fight.

Chapter 5: Going to church ready to fight, then mentored

I'm not I'm not going there to, you know, get my praise and worship on. No, I'm not doing that. My buddy goes to, you know, Bible study, one of the Bible studies. He comes back to tell me, "Hey man, these guys trying to jump me at this church." My first idea is like, "All right, I guess we gonna run it up then, right?" So the first Wednesday I went, the second Wednesday I went, the third Wednesday I went, by the time the third Wednesday come, the pastor of the church, which is, you know, my father, he comes in, well, my dad, he comes in and says, "Hey man, if you don't allow me to take you under my wing, you're either gonna be dead or you gonna be in jail."

And the way it was panning out, it was looking like that, right? But at the same time, like to gain trust, to give a man that sense of authority over you, come on. That's that's a that's something I'm still got to figure out cuz where I grew up from, right, the area, it doesn't work that way. The transition doesn't happen that way. The thing is it put me in a place where I'm living two in two different worlds.

Chapter 6: Living in two worlds – hood vs. godly home

One side at my mom's house, I'm the man of the house due to my father not being there. So, I'm being exposed and experiencing a lot of things that a child my age shouldn't be experiencing or being exposed to. And but on the other side, when I go to his house on the weekends, he checked me day one. Hey, you not the man over here. All right, cool. So, now here I am trying to understand and learn this and learn that on how to be a kid within that age realm.

What can I what can I say and what can I not say? But at the same time, like being at my mom's house, like I'm in the hood and you know the thing about being in the area is you get exposed to so much and not having a male figure to help you navigate of what you've been exposed to can then have you live in this false reality that you think that you know something when you don't know nothing at all. You don't know nothing but the exposure of it, right? The exposure of pornography, right? The exposure of seeing guns, the exposure of seeing drugs, the exposure of seeing the prostitute walk down the street, the exposure of seeing the the the crackheads on the corner, the exposure of it makes you think that you know, and do you have no idea at all?

And not having a male figure to help you navigate what you seeing to be open to say, "Hey, I saw this today. Could you help me navigate through this cuz I don't know what this looks like." Right? Nobody's not talking about it. Right? So, as I'm transitioning, I'm going from middle school to high school. I lose my granny.

Chapter 7: Losing uncle, granny & brother back-to-back

lose my uncle first, lose my granny second, then I lose my brother. In a matter of how long? So, I lost my uncle first and then two months later was my granny, then a month later was my brother. So, back to back. Nobody's talking about grief, dude. Nobody's Nobody's bringing up grief. Nobody's, you know, checking on you say, "Hey, how you handling the loss of these individuals?" I mean, here I am young.

Nobody's And the thing is, it's not advertised. It's not tal not being talked about. So, here I am stuck in a place of grief without no direction from a male or anybody else to help me kind of figure out what this looks like, right? Wow. So from that going into a deep depression dude we talking about I lost my granny who was this resemble this had this real glow about herself when it comes to love and like now that I'm mature in Christ that the love that she was given was the love of 1 Corinthians chapter 13 love is patient love is kind love is not envy and it's so amazing to me like now that I understand that this woman made everybody feel like they was like she was theirs, right?

And like where where who wherever you was, wherever she went, you felt that. And I was wondering like, man, why why is it hard to pull the families together now, right? And it's just due because of you have to line yourself up with Christ to show a love that's transparent that everybody can gravitate to. If you try to do it within your own might to say, "No, I'm going to try to uphold the standard of what grandmother or grandfather did." It's not going to work.

Because they had a relationship with Christ and that relationship with Christ, let the Holy Spirit live within to then show a person love. So that's why when I went to my grandmother's house, she had my favorite meal cooked. I go in my granny house, she hand me $20. When I went to my grandmother house, she gave me a hug. And I'm like, "Well, how did she know to do all this?" Well, maybe because the Holy Spirit was giving her, "Hey, cook this meal.

Hey, give that man $20. Hey, give him a hug. Right. And that relationship then led to me understanding now that it was all pointing to Christ. It was all pointing to Christ. Because now, okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. So, when I lost her, went into this deep depression. And we going into this deep depression. Dude, to be honest with you, man, I don't want nothing to do with Jesus, man. I know who you are cuz I've been around.

That's right. Like, I've seen what can happen. Like I seen it even get cast out. I seen Yeah, I seen it. But you took something from me and I don't understand it. And I'm stuck here in this place of grief. And I don't understand who can walk me through it. Who can walk me out of this? Come on. You know what I'm saying? So with maturing in faith, man. and with my mature state went to where now I'm in isolation with Christ.

Chapter 8: Isolation with Christ & "eternity behind every breath"

Now I'm open up the Bible and I'm seeing I'm see isolation with Christ is good. Isolation by yourself, not Yeah. That's not good at all. Right. But isolation with Christ is different because now we're walking through the deaths. Hey man, you know I can take care of her better than I can take care of you. Well that I can take care of her better than you can. That was one statement. This the second statement threw me off.

And this is in isolation with Christ. Dre, don't forget that eternity is behind every breath. Whoa. I was like, "Okay, let me let me let me get myself together then." Right. Eternity is behind every breath. So don't take it for granted. Yeah, they passed away. But yet still just know behind every breath there's a there's eternity there. Wow. Humbling. I can say humbling for sure. So now this puts me back in my spot where I'm like, "All right, God."

Okay. Yeah. So during that isolation period, he brings me up to speed, right? He fills that void that yeah, you lost these people, but I'm here to feel that. I'm here to walk you through the grief stages, right? The depression, the bargaining, the the disbelief. I'm I'm here to walk you through that off the scripture of Jesus wept. So, when we go to Lazarus and we go to the book of Lazarus, it's a very short scripture.

Jesus wept, but Jesus wept to show you how he's fully human and also how he's fully God. He knew he was going to raise Lazarus. I mean, he's alpha and omega. He knew he's omnipotent. He's omnipresent. He knew what he was going to do. But that Jesus wept is for people that lost somebody because that's the hardest thing that individual can ever imag on this earth. That's the hardest thing a person would ever go through is losing somebody.

And that part Jesus wept is to say, "Hey, I'm here to connect with you if you invite me in." That's good. And now I'm like, "All right, God. I invite you into this area. Help me walk through in those moments when I'm bargaining like, God, why did you take my granny when you, you know, like why you nah?" He's in there to fill that void every single time. Right. M.

Chapter 9: On fire for God – multiple Bible studies

So now I get to a place to where I'm on fire for God, brother. Like, hey, look left, look right. Is Jesus in sight? All right, let's talk about him. Now I'm I'm on fire for God. And as I'm on fire for God, I'm going to Bible study. I'm going to I'm going to three different Bible studies. I'm going to on Monday, I'm going to lit Bible study that was in Dallas. On Wednesday, I was going to dive Bible study in Dallas.

on Friday, I'm going to two or more Bible study in Dallas. Like, dude, I'm on fire cuz now I had this void that I'm missing. And I'm like, God, I wherever you are, I need to be cuz I need you to fill it. You know what I'm saying? It's been so long that I've turned away from you because what you took from me, I want to I want you to fill this void with wherever you are. So, I'm going there, right? And when I went there, I like I said, being around church, I'm hearing Bible, right?

So, I like I want to see it. At the same time, brother, you know, what your what's your Monday to Saturday look like? Cuz anybody can come off the, you know, say the scripture, be educated, be knowledgeable, but yet in still with your Monday and Saturday look like, does it line up with what you really talking about or is it not? You know what I'm saying? So, come on. On fire for God. Now, I'm in the process to where I'm hearing God's voice.

But before we get to even hearing that part, right, let's go back a little bit. So,

Chapter 10: First time hearing God's voice clearly

[sighs and gasps] man, these encounters. So first time I heard God's voice was I'm in this space of anger and when you hear me I was in anger because I lost the people right I lost you know my brother I lost you know so in this space of anger man I don't know how to navigate on what this looks like to release anger come on so now it's mismanaged anger this makes sense because we call them the yins can we call them can we talk about it well yeah I don't look it up, guys. But these individuals, it's a it's a movement to where young men have mismanaged emotions. That's all it is. So when I operated in that space of anger, I was operating and moving as such because of the emotional mismanagement that I had cuz nobody grabbed me by the collar and said, "Hey man, you can be angry, but the decisions that you make after that anger, the anger emotion can cost you your life."

M. So when we go to Cain and Abel and we talk about how Cain killed Abel, God come to and say, "Hey, you can be angry but sin not." This is a moment to check yourself and have a moment of reality to say, "Hey man, check your anger real quick, brother. Go take a walk." You know what I mean? Go go go go go do something else before you handle this situation in a way that you can't return because you just made a decision that cost you your life and also your family and your friends as well.

Don't do that. So here I'm in a space going back to hearing God's voice. I'm in a space of loss, anger. So the thing about what I learned about anger is also this. It becomes glasses. Your emotions are glasses. And with your emotions being glasses, when I was in anger, dude, everything that I saw, I angry was attached to it. Everything I heard had a sense of anger attached to it. Everything I spoke, my emotions, my feeling had that within it because that's my that's my that's my that's my perception.

Because I didn't take it to God to say, "Hey, God, I'm angry at you." I took it on the next man or the next sister or the next situation. If I would have approached God with it, he would have removed that lens of anger. So now I'm operating in a place of healing because I took my anger to him. But nobody's not telling you that. Yeah. And you you it's a sense of idolatry because if your anger is now influencing all of your ideas, the way you move, the way you thought about people, isn't that God's job?

Like if he's on the throne, then he's supposed to influence the way you talk, the way that you see, the way that you speak. So anything that influences your total outlook and your lifestyle, that is an idol. Yeah. So we exalt anger because for in that moment, our rights and how we feel about something is more important than anything else. Mhm. So that's that's really unique that you said that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Cuz now I'm finding a lot of brothers who in that space, that space of the losing somebody and now their whole perception in life has changed because they lost somebody, you lost your brother, you lost your granny, you lost your mother. And and the thing is like even when you hear other people on different platforms when they lose their granny, they go into a space of like, man, I don't she was the closest thing I had to God. Absolutely.

So I don't know how to navigate through this. But this is a this is for you, man, to let you know that no, God is there. Invite him in. Man, I I love I love this. before we transition into to that encounter because many men are trying to self-medicate

Chapter 11: Anger often masks deeper hurt & insecurity

their anger with alcohol underlying anger and you know sometimes we'll call it anger but my wife says it like this she says anger is the more accessible emotion if you look deep down inside it's really hurt come on it's really like insecurity come on man but it's e but I was talking about this last night. Anger gives me the facade that I'm strong cuz if I could buck up on you and I could swing at you, I'm mad like I'm angry. Then it feels it has this intimidating persona. But the truth about it is man, something hurt me, man. Come on, man.

Something bother it's bothering me. Something's concerning me like I can't manage this. I feel abandoned. I feel like this is not fair. Come on, man. And so that turns into now what? Now say something. I'll knock somebody off. Knock somebody head off. That's in the street. You said like the YN's. Yeah. Somebody's broken. Like we don't have enough to eat. So I'm about to come on take somebody out of here.

You're not mad. You're hurt. Like this ain't fair. Like I just I just need some Like I need I need to help my family. Like I don't want to be out here like this. This ain't right. So man, thank you for sharing that. Yeah, for sure. For sure. No, for sure. Cuz that that put me in a place of now I'm hearing God's voice and so much so through emotions. Like now I'm 35. I'm looking at okay if I got emotions what they look like.

So I had to pull up emotional wheel, right? And the emotional will helps you navigate on if you can identify yourself then you're in a good space. But if you can't then it's a problem right? So you got all these list of emotions that a human has but yet and still when I saw this chart brother I'm going talk about me. When I saw this chart, I realized that I pulled my wife and my kids into an unsafe place because I couldn't identify my emotions.

What did you just say? You said you pulled your wife and kids into an unsafe space because you did not know how to understand or manage your emotions. So, by default, are you listening men? When you don't steward yourself right, it's

Chapter 12: Unmanaged emotions create unsafe homes

not it you don't create a neutral environment. You create a dangerous one for the people that you love. Yes, sir. Most. Come on. That's really important. It's scary because now as you raising kids when you don't have no identity with your emotions of how they work or how they navigate or even finding yourself when you act out in a sense of anger that kid going my dad was so mad at me that he beat me or my my father was so mad at me he disowned me or my father was so mad at me like he didn't he just drunk he didn't he just you know drink all the time he didn't even say he didn't spend time with me you know what I mean and that's what they're getting so now they're in a Even now goes to the wife.

Well, my my husband, he's always angry. Like he's always uptight. He's always this, that, and another. And I I don't understand why. Well, because something rocked him to his core to that now when he look at it emotionally will he can't even half of it is gone. He's operating half as a human. That's and now you I'm sorry because I I get passionate about it because now you want to bring women now you want to bring children to a place that dude just take out the time and get yourself together right before we start adding these things to you bro that you that you're not ready for just yet not saying that you can't have it but please understand man you got to understand who you are as a human you got to understand within your identity got to understand within confidence are you building confidence off material things or are you building confidence because of who you are you building confidence because of who you are as a man and your structure within Christ or are you building your confidence within the tangible things that you can give out?

Are people seeing are people seeing your hand or people seeing your heart? That's good. Like like at what point are you building like as a man? What what part are you building up? And the thing is what you see and what you you know your decisions they have a consequence. I'll say this, the greater the void, the bigger the illusion of more that you have or that you think you have or need of. I'll put it like this.

Like a person that is discontent with themselves are always going to look outward to feel to feel it. So when you see a man and he can't help but try to smash everything that's come on, man. Or it's like, I made some money, but I got to make more. I got to make more. That is a reflection of how great a hole you have inside of you. Because if you're truly content with where and it doesn't mean that don't be ambitious doesn't mean that you shouldn't strive to to be something but there's a level of contentment like Paul says when I'm abound or when I'm debased like I have a level of contentment [snorts] because my satisfaction doesn't come from these things.

So what you're saying is so so true man we have to kind of take a look at ourselves like even we we'll take that stuff and throw it on our wives. our wives not doing what they're supposed to. Like I need to have sex Monday, noon, the month, morning and night 10 times. Come on, man. And it's just like, man, this is no longer a physical need. Yeah.

Chapter 13: Using sex to escape real pain

There's something you're trying to escape from. Now it's is So now, okay, you're not drinking alcohol, so you turn to your wife and now you want to take advantage of the fact that you guys are supposed to share each other's body and you want to exert your brokenness on her. Come on, man. No. there's something in you that needs to be filled or there's something that you're trying to escape from and you're using the euphoria of sex to numb yourself to the real pain that you're enduring. So, yeah, man. I love it, bro. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was amazing, bro. Yeah, man.

Chapter 14: Practical exercise: Exposure vs Experience vs Truth

So, now I'm in this space of now the reason why I came across this information cuz now it's exposure versus experience. Now God is sitting me in a space to where okay, let me let me teach you. So, I'm like, okay, what does this look like? So what you did was grab a sheet of paper, left side put exposure, right side put experience, and you can title it sex, right? What have you been exposed to when it comes to sex?

What have you experienced within sex? And then in the middle of it, you're going to put the truth, what the Bible says about sex. But then at the bottom, you're going to put, "Do not lean on your own understanding, but always acknowledge Christ." Sex is a way. There's a way for it. God put it in a space that if you read his word, he shows you exactly where to put it at exactly time for it. So now you're asking the Holy Spirit to show me the way of what this looks like within the sex realm like of having sex.

But then if we go to the scripture that says, "Hey, his ways are above our ways. His thoughts is above our thoughts." What you're asking that word way is you're going to God to say, "Hey God, I can acknowledge this way, but I want to acknowledge your way because your thoughts are above my thoughts. So I'm asking God, can you give me your thoughts? Can you give me your ways?" So now with this sheet of paper, you can title it anything.

You can even title it Jesus. What I've been experienced and what what's my experience and my exposure of God of Jesus. Now in the middle, what's the truth say about him? Come on. And at the bottom, do not lean on your own ways, but do not lean on your own understanding, but in all ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path. So now here you go again asking God, your ways are above my ways, your thoughts above my thoughts.

Show me within the Holy Spirit the way that I need to go when it comes to recognizing you as my Lord and my Savior. This is practical stuff, guys. Get your paper out, [laughter] draw out the two big circles or however you going to do categories and columns or whatever you need to do. This is very practical, sir. This is stuff that you can reflect on and say, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That's that's that's experience."

Uhuh. That was exposure. Oh, but this is truth. This is truth. That's good. Yeah. So, that's good.

Chapter 15: How God speaks – mind → heart → action

Oh, man. Dude, it's it it's been a journey. So, even moving forward now, like I said, that void is filled. I got Christ. I'm understanding. I'm moving on now. I'm in this sense that God is so detail oriented when it comes to giving you instructions as a man that he will make it tailor made for you so you can receive it to then do it. So now what that means is when God speaks to me, he puts it in my mind.

He let it sit on my heart, then I present the action. He puts it on my mind first. It sits on my heart, then I present the action. So now I'm in a space where got Jesus. I'm going to Bible study. I my first encounter of hearing God's voice is where I go to the gym. I'm working out and I see a young a gentleman as well. He's working out as well. You know, you go to the gym head night or you know whatever.

So by the third week, I get his number and I say, "Hey brother, next time we go link up and we do a set." He like, "All right, cool." I go to the car, God's voice, tell him, "Don't go to the hood no more." Whoa. I don't even know this dude. And me telling him not to go to the hood sound like a threat to me, Jesus. I don't think right do that to do that. What you mean don't go to the hood? What you mean?

He was like, "Tell him don't go to the hood no more." Okay. So, I called him and I said, "Hey, [clears throat] hey brother, I'm Listen." And that's the way how I started out, right? I said, "God told me to tell you don't go to the hood no more." Dude, his response was, "What?" I'm like, "All right, God, this may be a fight." listen, brother. I'm telling I'm Listen, I'm just telling you. God told me to tell you, "Don't go to the hood no more, man."

He said, "All right, hang up the phone." 3 months later, I get a call. And he says, "Hey, man. You know who this is, brother? I don't This is for one, your number wasn't saved, so everybody get blocked, right?" He was like, "No, this is this is a dude that you told me don't go to the hood no more. I want to tell you that I really appreciate you cuz me and my wife moved out the state and bro everything is looking good on the up and up for me.

So I really appreciate you for telling me that. Wow. [sighs and gasps] Okay, God. Okay, this is how we moving, huh? So this this is this is new, right? This is new for me. Let's go to the next one. Cuz all this leads into the encounter of me now hearing God's voice, him putting something on my heart and then me moving forward.

Chapter 16: Helping a suicidal man stay for 6 months

So then the second encounter I meet a gentleman. I was driving lift. He in the back seat nighttime dude. I drop him off at the motel and he says, "Man, I'm gonna be here. I ain't gonna be here for too long, man. Just I don't got enough money." I was like, "Man, let me take you to Bible study, man. Get my number." So I get his number. We go to Bible study. God put it on my heart. As at this time, I was working two jobs.

The next day, God put it on my heart. Hey, man, tell I'm not saying names, but let so and so stay with you. I don't even know this man. let so and so stay with you. Dang, dude. I said I said, "All right, okay, God. Let me let me talk to the wife." You know what I mean? Like, just put it on my wife heart, you know, cuz, you know, comfortability. I want to make sure she good. He was like, tell her that I said, let him stay with you.

Okay. So, I go to my wife. Hey, God told me that this individual need to stay with us. She says, okay. Now I'm like, are you is it like okay? Okay. You know what I mean? Like what's okay? Is it right? So now this man is living with us. I don't know him. He stayed with us for 6 months. And in the 6 months process, I'm understanding that God is telling me that he just needs a foundation to jump off of.

That's it. He just need a solid foundation to jump off of. And also he's dealing with suicidal thoughts. Wow. So here this man is I don't know who dealing with suicidal thoughts is standing in my house. Wow. And from that, he was able to get on his feet, get a job, and move out and go do, you know, wow, whatever God called him to do. And now I'm like, "All right, God, whatever you say." Whatever you say.

Right. Yeah. The next time this one happens, I meet a gentleman and seven 17 years, no, 16 years old. He just turned 17. Driving lift. He's in the back nighttime. I'm like, "Dude, where your parents at?" First of all, let's let's start where your parents at. Where your parents? He was like, "Dude, my dad my dad killed himself and my granny lives in Oklahoma and I'm here by myself clear as day. Tell him that he'll never be by himself again.

I don't know this. I don't know this." Now, this me going back and forth with God. I don't know this. Tell him that he will never be by himself again. Hey man, you ain't going to never be by yourself again. And I said, "Give me your contact number and I'll connect you." So at this time I go to Two and More Bible study, brother. So as I'm at Two and More Bible study, my friend Tyrell, God put it on his spirit to ask his brother, "Did you accept Lord?

Did you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?" Wow. And from that moment, man, he gave his life to Christ. And from him giving his life to Christ, the brother of two or more, they start surrounding him and making theirself available so that this young brother can have haircut. So So this brother can get a haircut, so this brother can have hotel money. And at that time he went to stay with my neighbors.

And now this dude is in Alaska, own house, own car, own. And he messaged me. He says, "Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you this, that, and another. If you need something, let me know." Brother, there is nothing you can give to me. There's nothing. Everything I want is in Christ, bro. Like, come on. You doing what you doing, you being the man that God called you to be, that's something for me, brother.

That's that's it for me. I'm good. I'm satisfied. So from that point now I'm understanding the pattern of God. He's going to put it on my heart, my mind, and I'm going to move forward. Okay. [sighs] Which then leads to the encounter. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.

Chapter 17: Full Lilith story – she reveals personal secrets

All right. So during this time where I was in depression because my granny passed, I got to test, you know, pornography. Yeah. self-pleasing, just all these things. I smoked a couple times, you know, but no, nothing like that really just caught on to bring on into an adult, right? Okay. But now here I am in a space to where I'm getting, like I said, exposed to so much and I'm consuming so much. So, I go to like driving lift daytime.

I'm good. I'm ready to go pick up my son. Like, that's that's one of my joys, picking up picking up my babies, man. I love picking my babies. So, last ride of the day. I'm going to pick her up, drop her off, and then I'm going to head to my go pick up my son. So, I pull up to this white building, man. It was white and they had like some I don't know. It looked weird. Mhm. And I picked this lady up and you know, she gets in the car.

She says, "Hey, how you doing?" I said, "I'm doing good. How about yourself?" She was like, "I'm good." She was like, "do you know who I am?" I said, "Ma'am, I ain't never seen you before." I said, "Come like, let's go. Like, I got to I got to go pick up my baby." She was like, "okay." She's like, "You sure you don't know who I am?" Said, "Ma'am, I never seen you before." She said, "My name is, Lilith.

L I L T H. I'm a sucker." And I was like, "Okay, let me get you to where you need to get to." [sighs] I never heard the the word before. Never heard the name before. Never knew what a suckabus was. Wasn't talked about in church. Like, no, it wasn't. If I'm being honest with you, all the Bible studies I went to, nothing like that. They was nothing pinpointed on that. When I did my research and found that her that the name was found in Isaiah and that it's a dry place that this this demon is to when Jesus comes, she's going straight to Hades just because of was going straight to hell because of what she did, right?

So, I found her in in the book of Isaiah. So, here I am like, okay, but this is me immature knowing that. But at that time, I don't know what you're talking about, right? So, I'm like, "All right, cool." She was like, "Well, let me tell you about you." She says, "I know that you want to go to the NFL." In sixth grade, I made like I was I I thought NFL was just the way out. You know what I'm saying?

Like, this is the way that you got to go to get it out to be able to be in a position to take care of everybody, your family, your hood, all the other stuff. I just knew that this was the way out. So my mind was geared towards that. Her next statement was, "You could, you know, you can be the president too if you wanted to." And I was like, "Man, whatever." Like, she was like, "Yeah, but you too lazy."

Oh, okay. I like, "All right, whatever. All right, whatever. What else you know about me?" She was like, "I know you like jazz music." That statement, only two people know I love jazz music. my mom and my wife.

Chapter 18: Jazz music detail shocks him

I fell in love with jazz music when I was in the sixth grade going to the seventh grade cuz I feel like that's the only thing that can help me go to sleep was jazz music. So now the hair the now the hairs on my neck are standing up because how you know this when nobody know this except for two people which is my mom and my wife. This is different for me. How you know I love jazz music now I'm listening. She was like oh okay.

She was like, "Oh," she was like, "You love," She was like, "You love Jesus." I said, "Yeah." She was like, "Yeah, but you a freak though." Okay, let's pause here cuz now she's identifying that at that moment if something was to happen to me, bro, it was a it was a depart from me. I never knew you. Hm. Because if we look in Romans chapter one, I'm just going to say Romans chapter 1. It's for the people who can just go read it for themselves, man.

He will hand you over to it. He will hand you over to that sense of sexual immorality that you have that's deep within your heart to where yeah, you see Christ, but yet and still you go to pornography. He's calling out for love and you seeing lust. Come on. He wants you to lean more into his love and not and not the lust. But you you giving that fleshly desire in which then he'll hand you over. So bro, here I am.

Oh, I'm saved. Yeah, but you talking to demons, though. No, but how how is this happening when I'm I'm I'm I'm saved. Like I I believe in Christ, but yet and still she said the name. So let's talk about it. When you say the name of Jesus, they supposed to fear and run and tremble and stuff like that. And that's why I'm thinking to happen. for her to say the name first but then to identify that I'm a freak was the connection of oh you think you there no you more connected with your sin than you is him so make a choice and what stay there by making a choice because at the end of the story that's when this is when I made my choice so she goes on to say yeah you would yeah you was in you was depressed at a certain time like yeah you was real depressed when your granny passed how you know Like how you know this when nobody knew?

You know what I'm saying? And mind you, this has happened when I was in high school. I'm 35 now. I'm not understand like how you know this information. She was like this. Now with this, this is where the cancellation come. This is where you got to read your Bible. When she says, I'm the reason that men have wet dreams. This is what she said. I'm the

Chapter 19: Lilith claims to cause wet dreams

reason that men have wet dreams. When she said that, you counseledled cuz my God is not going to give a person the authority to have to make men have wet dreams. She said, "I go after faithful ones, people who are faithful to their wives or people who in the sense of walking the lion of faith within Christ. I go after them. I'm the reason that people have wet dreams." Now, my mindset when I looked at her, I'm like, "It ain't no way you you like cuz I'm responding into the sense of fleshly.

I'm looking at like, nah, you ain't giving nobody nowhere dreams." She stopped my thought. Hey, don't look at me like this. I transform in your dreams. Wait, wait, wait. It was almost like she kind of tried to read your mind. It's like she beat me to the punch of knowing what I was thinking. So, yes. Don't look at me like this. I transform in your dreams. I don't look like this in your dream. So, she wasn't like nice like together.

No, it it No, it wasn't. It's just [snorts] more plain. It was more like nah like mm- no I wouldn't. But she pres No, don't don't look at me like this. I look totally different in your dreams. She I got to be Oh, I got to be honest. She was like, "Yeah, I'll make it real casual, like sex on the beach." I said,

Chapter 20: She transforms in dreams (beach sex dream)

"Okay, let's pause here." Because years ago, I had a dream of having sex with a woman on the beach and in the sky there was a dragon flying across. God brought that to my remembrance to say, "Yeah, that's her." takes on the beach. That's her. I move forward, man. She says, "You got a M on your hand." I said, "I got no M on my hand." She was like, "Turn your hand over. I'm driving." And then at some point, you like, "Man, why won't you just take control?"

Like, you know, in the name of like I'm stuck. I'm literally stuck in this space to where I'm trying to get this woman out my car. I'm trying to get her to wherever she's trying to get to. And yet still, she's reading at the same time. I'm questioning why she know this information, how she get this information, how long she been around. Like, stuff is not making sense. She said, "Turn your hand over.

You got an Emmy in." I turned my hand over and it's She was like, "See, you down here playing games when you should be down here saving souls. So, you protected by Michael the Archangel." And I was like, "All right, man. What's like now? What's really going on, man? Cuz it's not making sense. It's not adding up." She goes on to say, "As I'm getting closer to her house, my phone started to trip to where it's not allowing me to see where I'm dropping her off at."

She goes on to say, she says, "Oh, by the way,

Chapter 21: "You got a child on the way" (later confirmed)

you you got a child on the way." It's like, "What do you mean?" She was like, "Yeah, you got a child on the way. You got twins." Actually, it's a boy and a girl is hiding behind a boy. And I'm like, "My my wife is not pregnant." Like, "Hey, where where you getting this from?" He's like, "No, you got a child on the way. Don't cry, but you got a child on the way." Freaking out, dude. So now I'm getting closer to her house.

And as I get closer to her house, I pull in front of her her house and now I'm I'm stuck. I'm lost. I'm confused. Time seem like it's standing still. I I'm sober, man. I'm good. And drunk my water. I'm I'm good. I like it's like I'm not, you know, I'm not no days. I'm not I know what I'm doing. I know. I can't even tell you the time. I pull up in front of the house and she says, "you got a son?

Chapter 22: Threat against his son – "I'm sending my daughter"

Don't worry. I'm going to send my daughter to come after him. Oh, heck no. Yeah, I'm I'm heck no. I'm going send my daughter to come after him because you still having this I'm still identifying you as within your sexual immorality of where you at. She steps out the car. She looks at me. She was like, "now you can take your wife on dates now. You got it." Close the door, taps it, and goes into the house.

few before I get there, brother. I'm furious. You hear me? You mentioned my wife, you mentioned my kids. Something got to happen. So, I'm literally parked in front of this lady house and I feel the Holy Spirit tugging me to say, "Dre, go pick up your son. Like, go pick up your son." And I'm like, "Nah, I no." Cuz how she know what she know? She mentioned my wife and my sons and since she coming after my sons, no, I I can't allow this to happen.

She was, he was like, "No, like go pick up your So, I'm literally going back and forth. Should I get out? Should I stay? Should I go?" I said, "You know, I'm going to take a picture of it." Took a picture of her house. And as I took a picture of her house, it's a upside down cross that the sun is glaring on the ground. And you can see the upside down cross in the yard, dude. So on my way home, I'm driving confused, like thinking like, God, I need something because now I'm having a hard time understanding like what you just showed me.

It's hard to process. What are you doing? Like what's this? Like we we you know how we talk. Like tell me something. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. When you heard her talking, you thought it was the Lord talking to you. No, no, no. This is me leaving when we go pick up my son. No, no, no. It wasn't like No. I didn't think that when she said that she was able to give men wet dreams. When she said that counseledled everything else you just said Yeah.

Yeah. Like I I hear it but now let me take it to the Lord to see. Yeah. Cuz it sounded good. Don't get me wrong. It sounded cute. But yet at the end of the day when it comes to you giving me this information and said that you the reason why I may have wet dreams. Now we going to have to cancel that. Yeah. We going to cancel that dude. So I'm driving. I'm ignoring people phone call. I put on the drive like God speak to me.

Tell me something. I didn't go to no crystals. I didn't go to no stones. I didn't burn no sage. I didn't go get my hand read. I ain't going to get no psychic. I ain't go to none of these things that that didn't provide me answers. I went to Jesus. Jesus, tell me what's this about. Straight. I need you to straight man. Tell me what this is about. He puts on my mind. Remember the pattern? He puts on my mind, hey, call one of your closest friends wife and tell her to put you and tell him to put you on speaker.

I was like, okay. He puts it on my heart. Hey, this is something that you really need to do. Okay, God. I got it. Thank you so much. So then what I do, I go in the house and this is the part that this the moment that changes everything, dude. When I used to self-pleasure, I used to self-pleasure in the shower.

Chapter 23: Shower confrontation – eyes watching everywhere

I go to the shower and as I go to the shower, I cut the water on and when as I step into the shower, brother, you know when you walk in the room and you feel eyes looking at you? Yes. The moment I stepped into the shower, I felt eyes looking at me all around me. And I felt eyes looking down. Like say for instance, you're at a place and it's a balcony and you you know you feel people looking down at this moment.

It was like, son, here's your moment. What you going to do? What you going to do? Are you going to go back to your sinful ways when I just showed you this or this is going to be a way that you bow down to me and worship me as your Lord and Savior? to then give that away to say, "Dre, you don't need lust. Come on. I got all the love you need that can help you get you out of this. Just come and ask me.

Ask me. You don't you don't have to." Because now, going after my kids, man, it's like, "No, dude. We got to restructure it." I can't teach my kids on how to put on condoms, man. Yeah. We The conversation's different now, bro. I can't tell my son go out here and go knock them down, man. And how and how evil does it sound for you to know the consequences of this end result of doing that to then promote, hey son, go out there and knock him down.

Go smash them. Come on. Go get Go build your confidence. Go get knock down as me. Hey, go cross seas. Be passport bros. Go do that. Yeah. Yeah. Go. Go line it up, son. Yeah. Yeah. I can't do that no more, man. The responsibility of what I seen, man. I got to shake that from there. I got to break the tradition and I got to break I got to break that culture, dude. That culture that says, "Hey, go knock them down."

I got to I got to get rid of that. I got to get rid of that. And I got to now I'm having conversations in them that I got to address him before the world get to him. Wow. Because she said she's going to send somebody for my son. Son? Oh yeah. Pull out the big guns. Yeah. No. No. We got to talk now. We got to talk and help you navigate when it comes to Dude, no. You No. -Don't do it. So do that. Let's go back to I called my my best well one of my one of my

Chapter 24: Spirit attached since 6th grade through sin

closest friends wife. She broke down I told her the Zach story. She broke down everything. She said, "Jay, the reason why she was that close to you is sitt in your back seat because that's how long she's been attached to you." So wait a minute. So you telling me that this been attached to me since sixth grade? How did she know I like jazz music? Yes, she was assigned to you. Yeah. And every time that you masturbate, every time you watch pornography, every time you go into that sexual morality state, guess what?

You marrying her. And the wedge gets tighter and tighter and tighter. So you got to make a decision, Dre. What you going to do? And the reason why she mentioning your kids because if you don't handle it, guess what? It's going to be on them, too. And I'm I'm grateful that you're bringing this point up. Your friend is fire. She can't do. But isn't it very very interesting how the enemy loves to walk through the open door of pain and trauma and grief.

Yes sir. And so sometimes we just minimize I know we talked about emotions but we don't realize how often and that is just the trick of the enemy how he uses emotions as an open door to enter into our lives. Like it's not simply you know evil people are not the ones that need deliverance. Yeah. Broken people do. Come on man. People that have been taken advantage of, people that have gone through betrayal, people that have gone through loss of other people, people that have seen things with their eyes that they can't explain.

Yeah. The enemy wants to take advantage of that because once that hole happens, we by nature as humans love to fill the holes with something. And you know what the enemy is standing right next to us to do? Offering us on a platter what we need to fill the hole with. offering us the medication to deal with this because the soul knows it needs God. Yeah. But the enemy wants us to be convinced that the lust, the pornography.

Yeah. The, you know, even negative emotions and all these suicidal thoughts are going to be the answer to be able to deal with these holes in us. So, don't be just like Dre, like you just said, you took, you have to take the ways that you feel seriously, but take it seriously enough to bring it to the Lord. Come on, man. take it seriously enough to confront it with the truth of his word. Because otherwise all pain not handed to the Lord is already automatically offered to the enemy.

Come on, man. So that so this is not judgment that I can call out these things. This is a level of accountability. Oh yeah. Because now I'm over a men's group called mentor. Now I'm a part of another group call to a more and from that I'm not just sitting here hitting the gavvel to call you out on what you doing bro. What I'm saying is hey man if you need help and which we all do there places I can direct you to places I can that I know that helped me within my grooming process.

So now God put it on me heavy. Hey I said so God what so

Chapter 25: God says: "Go get My sons" & return to the garden

after showing me all this like after this encounter what you want me to do? He was like go get go go go get my sons. Come on. I'm like, "All right, God, before I go get them where I'm taking them like," He was like, "Take them back to the garden." Okay, take them back to a place to where we can redefine and restructure who they are and don't have the world give them their confidence where they find their confidence within Christ.

They find their their trust within Christ. They find their identity within Christ. Where if they losing their identity because they can't identify them being a Christian, well, how about them identifying the fact that they an ambassador for Christ? Come on. Let's identify that they're they're my sons. Let's identify that that I would give them everything that they need to help them navigate when it comes to their relationship, their finances, that I can help them cultivate it.

I can help them do all these things. But let's take them back to Genesis on where they first started, where they first was made. Let's teach them all these things within this place of the garden. So then when we start adding on, you know, family and wife, they know exactly what to do. Because he said, "Dre, without me, they start to build idols." BBLs, us as men, we built that. Our sexual immorality came into a place.

So now we start building things with our hands. And even if you look at the old the tower of Babel, you think that these people wanted to do it for their glory, for their fame. Yet still, we're faming and we're glorifying sexual immorality when we go to the strip club and give our offering to it. Oo, wait. I never heard it like that. Yeah. So now you giving your offering at the strip club and that same money that you gave offering to as you throwing it in there, guess what?

You about to go put it on the in the pot on Sunday. So basically, you're now paying sexual immorality to go greater. It's to go greater. Yeah. You see this building? Yeah. I'm building. I think what you just explained, nobody ever took it like that. I go to the strip club. Yeah. To give my offering. And better believe from Old Testament scripture, we realize that there are no sacrifice or no altars that don't require an offering.

Mhm. And so if you're giving if you're giving your offering, then you've already erected and exalted something or something that you've given your devotion to. And so that's super super important. No, I'm just throwing my money. No, I'm making an investment. I'm building something. And you said we as men are building are building. And I I we're talking offline. I'm like, well, while we're simultaneously building something, we got to be destroying something.

Tower of Babel, they were trying to build something, but the Lord saw it. No, they're trying to destroy the relationship and connection. And so, I got to deal with that. I got to deal with what they think they're building cuz they're really causing chaos and destruction. You think that you're you're investing? Oh, no. You're you're you investing in strip clubs but destroying your lineage. Come, man.

Come on, dude. So, like, come on. You got to look at the other side of what you think you're building. Like, cuz it's not there in the spirit world. There's no neutrality. Come on. There's no, oh, it's just neutral. It's either putting points up on the kingdom of God, man. Or putting points up for the kingdom of hell. Which one do you choose? Yes, sir. Whose kingdom are you building? Come on, man.

Keep going, man. because I want to hear about this garden taking them and understanding who they are like what's significant that God did in the garden that men can really grow from.

Chapter 26: The Holy Spirit in the Garden of Eden

the the most amazing part is having the Holy Spirit. Come on man. So when you see that when you go to Genesis chapter one that you see that the spirit was hovering over the earth and it was everything was being created. Yes. So then you see where Adam is getting created but he's getting created from dust. The last thing that he did was he God breathed into the nostrils. That breath is the Holy Spirit that then aligns the communication with God and Adam.

How to cultivate walking in the cool of the day with God. Just imagine that, you know, being able to conversate and to navigate feelings and emotions. So, what we're doing is now we're giving you the authority on what you have before you hear the serpent says you won't surely die if you eat that. What he was saying was you will the Holy Spirit would die at this moment to where you won't be able to hear God. So now as God he in the Old Testament he just come upon you.

He's not inside you. So what so Jesus then comes to say hey let me be the individual that sacrifice you know who died for their sins to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It's two times in there two times in the Bible that the God that God breathed on his people. First time was in the Garden of Eden. Second time was when Jesus breathed on the disciples say to receive the Holy Spirit. So now going full circle man.

So now in the in the And so if we're looking at the word in the prefix receive re means again. So when do we lose it? We lost it when we got disobedient. We bit that apple. So then the Holy Spirit had to leave. But now Jesus Christ give us that authority. So when we receive it now Yeah. So those miracles that we saw of the healing, the miracles that we saw of the oil being poured out, the healing that we saw the water turned into wine, the healing of casting out demons, that comes from the Holy Spirit, which then give you navigation on how to do things within this life.

And that's what we're doing. Hey, let's get back to the place to where we're getting instructions from God to then let's talk about it. The thing is those people who go to the strip club, listen, I'm not judging. Yeah. I'm saying there's a level of accountability because if me and you say that we believers of Christ, I got to get you out of there. Come on. I got to get you out of there, bro. Because at the end of the day, we represent the same thing.

And what you're showing right now is that you're paying offering or something that's going to take over your lineage. Whether you have the same heart to then go put that in a tithe and offering asking say, "Here you go, God. Dude, I just saw what you just did with that. You want me to receive that? I can't I don't know. You know, I got to bring them back to a place to where they received the Holy Spirit to have authority.

What you're saying right now is I hope people are hearing this and one I want people to know that this is why we do this podcast. Y we're not here to just I got a testimony, y'all. What you said was once God woke you up to the truth, you asked him, God, what do you want me to do? And if for those of you that are just wanting to get on a podcast or just want to, you know, get seen or just, you know, want your testimony heard, that's a part of it. Yes, you want your testimony to be heard.

But the Lord is saying, where are the people that I've pulled out of the fire because I'm calling you to be responsible for the truth that you've come into agreement with. I need you to pull my sons and daughters out. And if we don't take and carry the responsibility as ambassadors to represent God in these capacities, then the enemy, the enemy that we think that we've escaped has succeeded in keeping us silent and succeeded in keeping us quarantined to our to our rooms where we could just sit in our hermit rooms and just say, "I have a testimony, but I'm not impacting nobody. I have a testimony, but I'm not sharing his truth and building our brothers." It doesn't mean you got to start a church, but there is somebody in your life.

There's somebody in your circle that can benefit from what God did in you. And God allowed you to go through what you went through specifically because there are people that he's assigned to you that have that that have been through grief, that have not processed their emotions, that are coming in into fatherhood for the first time, and they're trying to navigate these things. And you might not be an expert, but what you're saying is we need the Holy Spirit. Come on, man. To step into an authority that we did not have apart from him.

Yes, sir. So, bringing us back to the garden is this experience of, you know, I love the garden because in the garden, the curse to Adam was now you have to work and toil to eat. Yes, sir. So that means God's ideal before the curse was for Adam to be able to be satisfied without stressing and working with his hands. So that that hustling man Yeah. Yeah. that that feel like I'll sleep when I die. Like that's not even God's ordination for your life.

Come on. Like so that authority, if you're really walking in the power and the authority that my my brother is talking about, then I no longer even live under the pressure and the bondage that I'm the ultimate provider of all. And I talk about this a lot because I do believe that men need to work hard. Yes. But I don't agree with the lie that men are the ultimate provider. Yeah. Why? Because my position, like it was in the garden, is to be steward.

Come on, dude. I'm to stand. I'm to tend to what the Lord gives me. So, in this season, he might give me a lot, and I'm going steward that. I'm going to make sure I I invest and do what I need to do and take care of the family. But if in this season, God has me on a mission and it doesn't look like it did in the last season. I'm not a failure. I'm not a loser. I'm still a man of God. I still can walk in the authority because it's not the authority of my own.

It's the spirit of God that lives in me which allows me to steward whatever season I'm in in whatever capacity I'm in. So, I love what you're doing, bro. Yeah, I love that. I appreciate it, brother. And like I said, just all through the Holy Spirit, dude. Like I know I had to tap in with the Holy Spirit to then identify like how to love my wife better, right? Cuz now if we go back to 1 Corinthians chapter 13 verse one, love is patient, love is kind.

Am I patient? I got times. Am I kind? I want to be. This scripture is a call out scripture to say, "Hey, do you line up with this?" You Oh, you don't. But guess what? There's there there's a solution to it. So, if we go to Galatians chapter 5, it says, "The fruit of the spirit, the very first one is love." So, now what we're doing is we asking the Holy Spirit to come us to show us how to love our spouse in the way that only Christ can love that person.

So, they can receive it the best way that they can. That's what that is. So when we're looking at scriptures, we identifying like, okay, God, this is a spot where I may have hard trouble of understanding. Allow the Holy Spirit to come in and help you navigate. He is so detailoriented on you. The the the way I showed you, I speak to my mind, he speak to my heart, then I present an action. That's me.

I'm you know why? Cuz I'm a heavy thinker. Like I think so I think so much, dude. Sometime I don't even watch TV. Like I'm not watching TV, dude. I'm I be thinking and those thoughts sometime I got to go to God. God. Okay. I'll be d the most 1 hour, 7 secondsrandom thing I go I'll go find out because I'm just you know I'm just a heavy thinker. So how he comes to me is with per thought and it's a thought that go like I'm not even thinking about say 1 hour, 16 secondsif I'm watch I I have a thought process of you know football right and the thought comes up hey pray for this individual wait where where's that come from like what okay well I guess I 1 hour, 24 secondsgo do it right cuz now I'm understanding authority and with when you go within understanding authority then you can move in the way that the centurion moved when he saw 1 hour, 32 secondsJesus yet still he was promoted within the army ranks right to be a centator you have to be you have to be up there in ranks you have to be you have to talk 1 hour, 40 secondsto the Jewish leaders at that time.

But guess what? He recognizes Jesus authority with him with that authority being recognized. Jesus had the 1 hour, 50 secondsfollowers of Israel and his 12 disciples. In that statement, he says, "This is the greatest faith have I seen in Israel." Wow. 1 hour, 58 secondsBecause he recognized the authority. He wasn't following Jesus. But yet still, when he heard about the authority that Jesus had and he connect with him on authority, how is a centurion has the greatest faith of them all?

1 hour, 1 minute, 8 secondsCome on. 1 hour, 1 minute, 9 secondsIn Israel at that time. Yes, because he recognized authority. So now here I am there. So brothers, hey, we have authority. Let's go. Let's let's 1 hour, 1 minute, 16 secondslet's not give our authority away in which happened in the garden of Eden. So now that we can control the situations, yeah, we can control situations through 1 hour, 1 minute, 25 secondsthe Holy Spirit that gives us the power to do so.

So that healing that you need to that God told you to go heal that person, that person is already healed. 1 hour, 1 minute, 32 secondsBut yet and still, you got to walk in authority knowing that God sent you on that. And it's [clears throat] I mean, you got me talking, dude. So now

Chapter 27: Authority in Christ – "Jesus I know, Paul I know"

1 hour, 1 minute, 39 secondswhen we go to the book of now we read the story of SA about the man who went out to go try to cast out a demon but yet in still the demon came and tear 1 hour, 1 minute, 48 secondsthem apart and had them run away because they had no connection within their authority and even to recognize Christ of who Christ was. 1 hour, 1 minute, 54 secondsSo with them not recognizing Christ and walking in the sense of authority they said we're going to cast you out in the one that Paul talks about. 1 hour, 2 minutes, 1 secondNo connection to show you that the authority was there. So dude, this is where the this is how deep 1 hour, 2 minutes, 8 secondsthis is. The fact that the demon said in response, "Jesus, I know.

Dude, like I got people telling me stuff that that that they wouldn't tell nobody else. And the thing 1 hour, 2 minutes, 47 secondsis, they don't sense no judgment coming from this yet. And still, I'm going to ask you, yo, bro, let me help you walk through it. Have we identified our triggers when it comes to pornography? 1 hour, 2 minutes, 54 secondsDo you know how you get Do you know how you got there?

Was it social media? Was it Instagram? Was it Facebook? Was it Twitter? Cuz those are those things that 1 hour, 3 minutes, 1 secondyou saw and then it led to a funnel to now you're on that website again. What was the triggers, brother? And I'm going to help you walk through this process to get you free from that. You get what I'm 1 hour, 3 minutes, 10 secondssaying? There's no I'm I'm not in no space.

Like I said, I keep saying this because I don't want nobody take me. You judging me. You know, I I still do that. 1 hour, 3 minutes, 17 secondsAnd I listen, brother. This is accountability. That's all it is. This is accountability in a space where we going to walk it out. We going to talk it out. And we going to figure it out 1 hour, 3 minutes, 24 secondstogether within the name of Christ. And when you get delivered is when you get delivered.

Because guess what? I'm not gonna talk about you, brother. It's not my space to talk about you. It's my 1 hour, 3 minutes, 33 secondsspace to sit here and pray on your behalf. 1 hour, 3 minutes, 35 secondsAs I'm going to my prayer closet, hey, pray for my brother David because he's dealing with this God. I don't have the power to free you, bro. 1 hour, 3 minutes, 42 secondsBut I know who do. You feel me?

Like, I know who do. I know who can free you. 1 hour, 3 minutes, 46 secondsYou know what I mean? I know who can. So now I'm moving in space now. This authority that I got, this authority that I have comes from Christ. And from there, I'm just, hey, brother, you got 1 hour, 3 minutes, 54 secondsthe same thing too. Yeah, you got the same thing. So now you got me talking. 1 hour, 3 minutes, 59 secondsUh Paul, he's on his road.

He's on his way to Damascus. Damascus. as he on his way, he get knocked off this horse by a 1 hour, 4 minutes, 7 secondslight. Right at the time, he has to go in this place to where Bar gets the scale removed from his eyes. And as he get the scale removed from his eye, he meets Barnabas in Jerusalem. 1 hour, 4 minutes, 17 secondsThe name of Barnabas is encourager. So now this whole time that Paul is going through his transition to now promote Christ as a before that he wasn't, he 1 hour, 4 minutes, 25 secondshas Barnabas as an encourager to help encourage him on his way of his ministry.

Wow. 1 hour, 4 minutes, 30 secondsSo that's where I am and I I'm okay with that. I'm okay with cheering for you in the background cuz I want you to win. 1 hour, 4 minutes, 35 secondsSee that it it's different. It's a different bro. I want you to win. Period.

You don't got to give me nothing, bro. There's nothing 1 hour, 5 minutes, 2 secondsthat you can give me that God has shown me. It's much it's so much better stuff in heaven. Don't store your Don't store your treasures on earth. store them in 1 hour, 5 minutes, 10 secondsheaven cuz you store them on earth then r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r rust moth it can get destroyed it can decay but you store it in heaven mean it lasts forever so there's nothing you can 1 hour, 5 minutes, 18 secondsgive me I'm sorry but you can give me a win if you take out the time to walk down this journey of accountability wow let's do it yeah that's yeah so there's 1 hour, 5 minutes, 26 secondsgroups out there yeah we got groups out there bro well I I just want to say man I could see the a revival inside of you 1 hour, 5 minutes, 35 secondsman and and the call that you have towards men gave me the same call in 2020.

Yeah. 1 hour, 5 minutes, 40 secondsI realized I mean we could spend a whole another conversation just talking about how our lack of stepping up to the plate and 1 hour, 5 minutes, 47 secondsbeing held accountable and leading other men has led to breakdowns in our families in our children's lives. You talked about 1 hour, 5 minutes, 54 secondswith women and their insecurities. It's because we're not standing up and being who we're called to be. And a lot of the women, you know, people I've heard that they 1 hour, 6 minutes, 3 secondssay women are incubators.

you give them a seed and they're going to give you back you know a fruit or give back a baby or whatever the case may be. And so 1 hour, 6 minutes, 11 secondsif you see things in women that you don't think is honorable, what seed have we seown in them? 1 hour, 6 minutes, 18 secondsThat to me like that's divine revelation that you got there. It's like man and so in instead now we got wars on on on 1 hour, 6 minutes, 27 secondssocial media. We're warning against each other.

Men don't trust these women. men say women like these women are, you know, have to raise their standard. Why do they feel like they have to raise 1 hour, 6 minutes, 36 secondstheir standards? Why? And I'm not saying everything is on the men. Yeah. 1 hour, 6 minutes, 40 secondsBut what I'm saying is like, are we doing what we're supposed to do as men of God, 1 hour, 6 minutes, 47 secondsand women can't help that's a women can't help but respond.

The the Jesus as the groom's man positions us to respond to what he did. 1 hour, 6 minutes, 57 secondsYeah. We were not even in position to initiate. For God so loved the world that he gave his son. The man is called 1 hour, 7 minutes, 4 secondsto love his wife and he gave himself up for her. And the woman is called to respond to that type of love. Have we 1 hour, 7 minutes, 12 secondslived lives to present to our wives, to our women, to our families what it looks like to selflessly love them?

1 hour, 7 minutes, 21 secondsNo. 1 hour, 7 minutes, 22 secondsAnd we demand but and we demand respect and submission. We demand them to look like we want them to look. We demand 1 hour, 7 minutes, 29 secondsintimacy all times of the day. It's just like, man, I I love that this has turned into like a challenge. Yeah, for sure. For sure. 1 hour, 7 minutes, 36 secondsFor the men. What you said, that practical stuff that you said, it's probably one of the most powerful things I heard.

Like, write it all down. What's the lies and what's the truth? And look 1 hour, 7 minutes, 45 secondsat it every now and then. Anytime you feeling the type of way, hold on. I'm feeling this. That's experience. Hold on. Hold on. That's exposure. Okay. What's it What's the truth? 1 hour, 7 minutes, 53 secondsYes. 1 hour, 7 minutes, 54 secondsWhat's the truth of the word? Yes, man. That is so so powerful, man.

I actually you you might not have wanted this, but I want people to tap in with 1 hour, 8 minutes, 1 secondyou in Dallas. I mean, I know you you're doing virtual, too, man. but I want people to tap in, especially if they're local, because I just feel like you really do care about these men. 1 hour, 8 minutes, 11 secondsI do. 1 hour, 8 minutes, 12 secondsI really feel like you really want you really have God has put something in you.

He's put he's put tools in you that's going to really really help 1 hour, 8 minutes, 20 secondspeople. Man, I just I think if you're a man and you have this has been part of your struggle, whether it be this specific thing from the the 1 hour, 8 minutes, 29 secondspornography to all of these things or truly it's just like, man, I'm feeling these types of ways. I feel insecure as a man because of this or that. I feel 1 hour, 8 minutes, 37 secondslike I could never succeed. All of these things, men are dealing with real time issues.

But what you just exposed on 1 hour, 8 minutes, 43 secondsthis podcast is, man, God knows. He cares. You said there's a humanity that shows that he can empathize with our 1 hour, 8 minutes, 52 secondsweakness. So, we got no excuse but to come to him. Come on.

Chapter 28: Final encouragement for struggling men & fathers

1 hour, 8 minutes, 55 secondsSo, if you had any just words for those that are are watching, especially those, you know, those fathers that you know that have children, you stuff. You was like, "My son, hold up. 1 hour, 9 minutes, 4 secondsEvery nah." So, let me ask you this question cuz I didn't get the answer. Go ahead, man. Was your wife pregnant? 1 hour, 9 minutes, 11 secondsYes. 1 hour, 9 minutes, 13 secondsI know, right?

That's like the the possible part, too. [laughter] Yeah, she was Yeah. pregnant. And my son is here to this day. 1 hour, 9 minutes, 21 secondsSo I I I didn't never I never really cuz I'll let you talk. [laughter] I got Bro, like Yeah. What's up? 1 hour, 9 minutes, 28 secondsThat's so First of all, that's so disgusting and kind of scary. Yeah. 1 hour, 9 minutes, 33 secondsThat these spirits really are monitor monitoring spirits.

Yes. Yes, sir. They they take notes. 1 hour, 9 minutes, 42 secondsThey take notes. The devil's not omniresent. But what they do is they watch you and they take notes and go report and share notes. 1 hour, 9 minutes, 49 secondsCome on, man. Hey, I caught Duh. He did this this too. And this too. See, the thing is about how they work from from 1 hour, 9 minutes, 57 secondswhat I experienced was that the fact that when I saw God, I'm done with pornography.

I don't want to turn my life to you. The 1 hour, 10 minutes, 4 secondsthe taste for tobacco left too. Meaning that these demons connect with each other in a way that in that space that 1 hour, 10 minutes, 11 secondsthey connect in that you allow that that you know you allow and still when you ask God to relieve you from it and show you God what is it that else he'll come out there and clean out the closet. 1 hour, 10 minutes, 21 secondsYeah. Instead also show me that they know purpose too.

Give me let's go to the Bible. Right. 1 hour, 10 minutes, 26 secondsOf course they know purpose. That's why they're trying to rob you of it. Go ahead man. Go ahead. 1 hour, 10 minutes, 32 secondsYou almost made me throw this microphone. 1 hour, 10 minutes, 34 secondsWe go let's take it to scripture. Let's take it to when Jesus cast out the demons and said, "Go to the pigs." But before that, their response was, "Wait, 1 hour, 10 minutes, 42 secondswait, Jesus, are you here to torment us before the appointed time?"

The appointed time, the appointed time is when Jesus Christ comes and send them to 1 hour, 10 minutes, 50 secondsexactly where they where they're going, which is hell. So, wait, how how is that statement not talked about that yet and 1 hour, 10 minutes, 58 secondsstill they know they're in, but yet and still they come in to try to mess up with your authority. They come in to mess up your mind. They mess up your heart. They do all these things because 1 hour, 11 minutes, 6 secondsthey know how powerful you are.

But yet and still you don't even recognize your authority. Come on. 1 hour, 11 minutes, 10 secondsSo when we go to the book of Hosea where it says, "My people perish for the lack of knowledge." 1 hour, 11 minutes, 19 secondsH we're lacking the knowledge of who we are. So we're lacking the knowledge of identity. We're lacking the knowledge of going back to the garden to get the 1 hour, 11 minutes, 26 secondsauthority that we once had before.

And then with that authority that we have Yeah, man. That that's that's the space 1 hour, 11 minutes, 34 secondswhere we at, dude. So, yes, my wife had the baby, I got another son, and now I got to sit here and, you know, restructure the You got me talking. Now, 1 hour, 11 minutes, 42 secondsI got to sit here and restructure the social hereditary that my son's being placed in. Social hereditary is six pillars that make you make a decision before the decision even is even made.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 52 secondsOnly thing that's required is the situation to present itself and you will make that decision based on your surrounding. Social hereditary is 1 hour, 12 minuteseducation, peers, culture, tradition, social norms. So what this is is if we look at the Bible, the whole objective 1 hour, 12 minutes, 8 secondsis to throw you off in a sense to where let's go to the book of Daniel where Daniel Babylon takes over Israel. Bab 1 hour, 12 minutes, 16 secondsnow Daniel is captive in Babylon. Guess what I need you?

This is what the king says. I need you to learn our system, learn our ways. I need you to eat what we eat. I need you to do what we do 1 hour, 12 minutes, 24 secondsbecause now I got to make you move as if you're one of us. 1 hour, 12 minutes, 29 secondsDaniel says, "No, I I I got to worship my Lord and Savior because I've been exposed to him." The experience happened. Watch this. The experience happens when they when Daniel got put in 1 hour, 12 minutes, 36 secondsthe furnace.

As he got put in the furnace now, oh, God is real. Wow. 1 hour, 12 minutes, 40 secondsOh, God is real. So that all that stuff that my my my mother and my dad talked about God, guess what? I got experience because when I was in that furnace, guess who was in there? Damn. 1 hour, 12 minutes, 48 secondsJesus was in there. That's right. 1 hour, 12 minutes, 49 secondsHe was in there. So now, let's take that same set of social retail.

Let's move it to Jesus time. Why Jesus teaching was so offensive? Why people get offended when Jesus get around? Why the Pharisees and scri Why why they get so offensive? 1 hour, 12 minutes, 59 secondsBecause they built their life on their education system, on their culture, on their tradition. And when he says, "Hey, no, no, no, no, no. 1 hour, 13 minutes, 6 secondsYour culture and your tradition that doesn't match up with the kingdom of God or what I'm telling you."

So, yeah, you know the scripture, but you don't even know me and I'm right here in front of them. 1 hour, 13 minutes, 13 secondsI'm I'm challenging your your your tradition. I'm challenging your culture. I'm challenging your education system. 1 hour, 13 minutes, 18 secondsSo, every time they come up here and pose a question that's education system part, hey, this is what the Old Testament says. Jesus, what what what do 1 hour, 13 minutes, 26 secondsyou say about it?

You know what I'm saying? Let's take that same set of principles and let's go to Paul. Now, Paul is writing these letters to all these different churches that addresses 1 hour, 13 minutes, 34 secondstheir social hereditary and what their education system and the cultural tradition all that to now when you look at the book of Titus. At that time, 1 hour, 13 minutes, 41 secondsTitus gets sent to Crit and as he's at Crit, he has to now take down their gods by being the example which is found in Titus chapter 2. be the example because 1 hour, 13 minutes, 50 secondsI'm sending you over there to everything that they think is right is not right.

1 hour, 13 minutes, 55 secondsIt's not on Christ. They're building their house on sand, not the rock. There go that building again. There go that building again. 1 hour, 14 minutes, 4 secondsOh boy. Oh boy. Man, the mo I'm I'm I feel like the momentum is so high. Like 1 hour, 14 minutes, 11 secondsGod is doing the same things in different places. 1 hour, 14 minutes, 14 secondsCome on, man. And I love that God is restoring restoring his sons.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 18 secondsRestoring his sons. I feel like man I was just on the phone with a brother today and he was talking about how the 1 hour, 14 minutes, 27 secondsLord wanted to restore the son in me, restore the boy in me. And I think just like with how you you shared in your 1 hour, 14 minutes, 36 secondsin your testimony, man, that brokenness started you were probably 10, 11, 12 years old when you experienced that level of grief and impact. 1 hour, 14 minutes, 45 secondsBut here you are at 34, 33, 34, navigating the things that impacted you at that age. 1 hour, 14 minutes, 53 secondsI always say, man, the enemy always fights early because if he does, he doesn't have to fight hard.

1 hour, 15 minutesCome on, man. And so if he could cause the bit of destruction at that age, then he can arrest your development at that 1 hour, 15 minutes, 7 secondsage and limit what God intends to do with you. And God wants to set the boy in us free. He wants to heal that boy in 1 hour, 15 minutes, 15 secondsus that was broken, that didn't get that love. I mean, you lost your father at an early age.

Was it your father, right? You lost your father at an early age. 1 hour, 15 minutes, 24 secondsThere's a level of damage that comes in this. You lost your Was it your brother? Yeah, my brother. 1 hour, 15 minutes, 27 secondsYour brother. And it's almost just like hit after hit after hit. And we think because we're men, man, we'll get over it. 1 hour, 15 minutes, 35 secondsYeah. No, we we good. 1 hour, 15 minutes, 38 secondsAnd the enemy will convince us that we're good while self-medicating in all of these destructive ways until we're 45 1 hour, 15 minutes, 45 secondsyears old, 50 years old.

Still, this is what bondage looks like. 1 hour, 15 minutes, 51 secondsBondage. You can have a high education and be in bondage. Come on, man. 1 hour, 15 minutes, 55 secondsYou could preach and be in bondage. You can have a lot of influencers and be in bondage. You could be married, have multiple kids, people like you on the 1 hour, 16 minutes, 2 secondsstreet. You could be getting money and still be in bondage.

And that stuff starts at such young ages. That's why like we have to humble ourselves like children. 1 hour, 16 minutes, 10 secondsCome on, man. To to be a part of a group like yours. 1 hour, 16 minutes, 13 secondsLike, yeah, I I might lead a whole corporation of a hundred people, but there's a part of me that's so broken that was abandoned. And I've built, you 1 hour, 16 minutes, 21 secondstalked about built, I built all of these false things on sink and sand.

And my life is crumbling in this area. And I I thought 1 hour, 16 minutes, 29 secondsthat everything that I built financially that I built image-wise was going to be able to fix this. But I'm 50 years old and I'm still broken. 1 hour, 16 minutes, 38 secondsCome on, man. 1 hour, 16 minutes, 41 secondsI I I would love for you to to just if there's anything you would want to share for those men, those fathers, those 1 hour, 16 minutes, 48 secondsfamilies that are experiencing, you know, just heavy things and they don't they don't find they don't have an answer.

But then also for you to pray 1 hour, 16 minutes, 55 secondsfor those that might be watching this that's just like, man, maybe I didn't have that experience, but I know what it's like to try every way. I know what it's like 1 hour, 17 minutes, 3 secondsto try to build myself up in all of these different ways, and I'm still stuck. So, if you could just if there's anything for for these men because I love that we're talking about men. 1 hour, 17 minutes, 12 secondsI love it, man. there's two things.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 14 secondsUh one thing is understand that when my relationship with God is how he tailor made it for me, he has a tailor made 1 hour, 17 minutes, 23 secondsrelationship for you too. If we go to if we talk about Thomas, one of his disciples, everybody was saying that 1 hour, 17 minutes, 30 secondsJesus was Jesus was alive after the resurrection. This is after he came from the grave. Thomas says, "Hey, look, man. 1 hour, 17 minutes, 37 secondsI believe y'all, but until I stick my hand where the holes that they nailed him in, then I'm not going to believe it."

Jesus then does exactly what Thomas asked. 1 hour, 17 minutes, 50 secondsAnd in that, what I got from it was, yo, this detail made for you, man. This detail made for you. Your thought pattern is your heart. He He knows you. 1 hour, 17 minutes, 58 secondsHe knows the amount of hairs on your head.

Chapter 30: The Gospel explained + salvation call

1 hour, 22 minutes, 45 secondsNow, you might be asking, what is the gospel? The gospel is very simple. That you are a sinner and that you are on your way to hell without a shadow of a 1 hour, 22 minutes, 54 secondsdoubt. You were born in sin and the wrath of God abides [music] on you and you do not deserve to go there by way of 1 hour, 23 minutes, 1 secondyour sin. [music] But while you were still a sinner, God sent his son Jesus 1 hour, 23 minutes, 11 secondswho loved you and died [music] for you as your substitutionary sacrifice.

Which means he died in your place so that you 1 hour, 23 minutes, 19 secondscould [music] live his life, which means he died for your sin. He was buried and 3 days later he resurrected from the 1 hour, 23 minutes, 27 secondsdead. And if you would confess with your mouth, the Lord [music] Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. 1 hour, 23 minutes, 34 secondsThat's that's out. That's out here.

No, no. I'm talking about the real Jesus of the Bible, the eternal son of God that 1 hour, 23 minutes, 41 secondsbecame a man. God manifested [music] in the flesh that became a man and in 33 years he died on the cross providing 1 hour, 23 minutes, 49 secondsredemption, buying us back, translating us out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his dear son. which means 1 hour, 23 minutes, 57 secondshe redeemed us back to God. He reconciled you back to [music] God by way of his death on the cross.

And so 1 hour, 24 minutes, 4 secondsyou're probably saying, "How can I be [music] saved?" Very simple. All you have to do is repent of your sin. I'm 1 hour, 24 minutes, 12 secondsnot talking about 360, talking about 180. You turn, you turn from your sin. 1 hour, 24 minutes, 18 secondsYou believe in the [music] gospel exclusively. Just Jesus. I'm not talking about Jesus and Mary. I'm not talking 1 hour, 24 minutes, 26 secondsabout Jesus and Buddha.

I'm not talking about Jesus and some other centralized figure. And I'm not even talking about Jesus and your spiritual father and destiny and all of that. No, no, no. 1 hour, 24 minutes, 34 secondsThere's only one way to heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life. And nobody comes unto the father except through me." Jesus is 1 hour, 24 minutes, 42 secondsexclusively the only way.

You want to know why [music] he's the only way? 1 hour, 24 minutes, 45 secondsBecause he's not only the only way. He is the door to enter in. And the only way you could get in is by [music] way 1 hour, 24 minutes, 52 secondsof repentance. You must repent and become born again. Why? Cuz only sons and daughters can become citizens in the 1 hour, 24 minutes, 59 secondskingdom. Outsiders [music] can't come in.

But Jesus died on that cross and he made the way open for you. [music] And 1 hour, 25 minutes, 8 secondsif you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. I'm not talking about all this other stuff to get saved. No, no, no. 1 hour, 25 minutes, 17 secondsJust believe. Believe [music] in him. the efficacy of Christ's work on the cross as the substitutionary 1 hour, 25 minutes, 25 secondssacrifice in [music] exchange for your sin, which means you give up your sin.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 30 secondsYou give it to him. He exchanges it and takes on your sin, but he gives you his righteousness. And then you are righteous and justified by 1 hour, 25 minutes, 40 secondsfaith in Jesus. And when you have justification because of Jesus, now you have peace with God. You have peace with 1 hour, 25 minutes, 48 secondsGod. And watch this. And now he will no longer be just your God.

He is now your heavenly father through the person of 1 hour, 25 minutes, 55 secondsthe son Jesus. Why don't you pray that prayer right now? Just repeat after me. 1 hour, 25 minutes, 59 secondsSay, "Lord, I believe that I am a sinner [music] and that I deserve to go to hell, but God, you sent your son." Go 1 hour, 26 minutes, 6 secondsahead. Those of you that are watching, repeat what I'm saying. Say, "God, [music] you sent your son, Jesus Christ, 1 hour, 26 minutes, 13 secondsto die for my sin.

He was buried. Three days [music] later, he resurrected from 1 hour, 26 minutes, 19 secondsthe dead. I now confess you, Lord Jesus, as my Lord, [music] as my savior, come 1 hour, 26 minutes, 27 secondsinto my heart. Come into my life and wash me from my sin. [music] And now say this. Say, "Holy Spirit, I 1 hour, 26 minutes, 36 secondssurrender my life to you. Make me born again in Jesus 1 hour, 26 minutes, 44 secondsmighty name."

My friend, if you said that prayer, whichever way you said that prayer, as long as you believe and 1 hour, 26 minutes, 52 secondsconfess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and that he died on the cross for you and 3 days later he resurrected and you repented and believe that message, the 1 hour, 26 minutes, 59 secondsBible says, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." You [music] are saved, my friend. Here's what I want you to do. There's going to be an email that's going to be put on the video 1 hour, 27 minutes, 8 secondsright here.
