month after I was lock down waiting I just went I just went to get a probation yeah yeah yeah yeah that's what my lawyer said we spent like 20 grand in lawyers and then the lawyer came to me you know what they they connect your case with this and that I said what so I wasn't safe I I didn't know about Jesus or anything like that right excuse me but when he said that everything everything just I was like my God what is this wow and then I remember to see a Bible under a cabinet I was thinking about it you know I was like should I take it wow I was super scared I was I was 21 years old yeah yeah so anyway that would have scar anybody doesn't matter5 years you're and for something that you know that wow that you didn't do so I got the Bible I read it I said wow this is what I've been looking for my my whole life wow look at that so pure because I remember when I used to close the nightclub and get back to my home at 6:00 a.m. uh I used to remember why what is my purpose in life yeah you know what am I here yes even though I had everything that you can that you can want that you get desire as a 21y old yeah anyway wow there was an emptiness on my heart in my heart yes that doesn't matter if you have money or wom or drugs or alcohol nobody nothing can fill up that's it that space in your heart only God that's it yeah so I read the Bible I put it back one week but like like a week after I remember that the case was getting even worse wow so I got on my knee and I spoke to God I was hearing like kind of some voices I was two voices one of them was telling me kill yourself okay it's not worth it for you to to live anymore you you are the black Chip of your family you know you cannot carry with all that guilt so kill yourself so I already planned I plan to break some cheats wow and make a make a road where were you were you in jail already I was in jail already oh you was waiting all that was like the first month waiting for for you know um for you to get sentenced to for the s yes exactly wow so one voice was saying kill yourself and then another voice was like taking me back to the scripture and then I remember one scripture that is um is on Roman 109 confess with your mouth that's it believe in your heart how can you know how could I remember that wow the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit now we know wow so I got on my knee I said God if you are the one that is talking to me uh show up wow if you really got and if you really assist touch me transform me yes I will serve you wow and I believe now I I know that was a don't deal for God he was like that's all I need I need you heart yes so I start leing one day at a time I I I didn't feel anything weird on my body I didn't no but I saw my I saw we had a like a metal mirror there mhm I I I I start looking at myself and in my eyes I saw something different wow I used to be super insecure but I saw something different so day by day the Holy Spirit start um teaching me the Bible so for one and a half year at the end they sentenced me I remember when I was at at the court that the lawyer was there taking my sentence was was two years at the end okay God work out everything and they remove everything and oh wow they give me only two years which so what El couldn't do in Chang gong my Jesus said here you go but you know the funny thing is that I I asked the lawyer let me speak wow and the Holy Spirit start using me right there in front of the of the judge of the uh da um the jury everybody everybody everybody Witnesses I just preach wow the gospel I say you know what I take the sentence I'm not here to discuss or to ask you for forgiveness I fa this country and I deserve to to go I super I was super remember I mean my from day one until that day was like four months waiting to be sentences okay so in those four months the Holy Spirit was already worked so fast on me in me and I was so deep into be transparent and hly and be holy yes and I was fasting every week like no less than three days astray just drinking water reading the Bible praying and and my t-shirt was the Holy Spirit so what was when you were fasting when you were praying before your your court hearing what were you asking God for were you saying lower my sentence or it had nothing to do that's that's when you know there's a true transformation because a true transformation you don't care if you spend life in prison Jesus all I want is you yeah I put everything in his hand my transformation was actually I had a vision the first week after my after being safe MH he I remember that I was transfer somebody told me about a Christian dorm okay where you know a dormitory for just Christian okay so I said okay it's going to be I I need this to learn yes so I was transferred right there inside of the same um jail is just a dorm was just a dorm so I was there and one day one night we were praying mhm like five inmate and I and we start praying and the Holy Spirit came and we all start like feeling the holy spirit so strong then was about was lock down time so the the officer there uh said you know what you got to go back to the room whatever so we went I went back to the room I remember I was I was I have to take some stair some stairs yeah so I was I wasn't feeling my body wow that was my first experience with the Hool experience with God yes truly really experience super strong so we were climbing i w I was walking up I got to my room I I couldn't feel my legs or anything I was like floting wow I've experienced that so I know for real yes oh you're the first person that I so was okay I got on my bed I covered myself I start crying I couldn't stop crying and then everything changed I had a vision and in that Vision I saw myself surround of people remember just think about that you are in the middle of the ocean but instead of of water what you have is people M so it was just people everywhere wow so I was dressed up with a white white clothes but no why why like like a suit okay like Benny him suit yeah yeah yeah like that never in my life I have seen Benny him when right I was a brand new Christian yeah so I start I I was like touching the everybody everybody was like felling down and receiving God was something like that right and and the crazy part is you knew nothing about the gospel nothing about it was my first week I was like I thought was going I thought it was going crazy wow I thought it was going crazy yes first was a voice wow saying kill yourself second voice you know you need me or whatever I don't I don't remember exactly it was like I knew that was like spiritual warfare right right right something is out of myself telling me what to do then I got Sav then my transformation I remember the first week I went to the I went to but take keep us there where people were falling down everybody start falling down so I start preaching to everybody yeah and but what so rich what so so like this is what I'm supposed to be doing well so I so he was giving you a vision of your calling basically wow you just had no no clue clue because you were a seed and now you're a tree and as a tree you look back at the seed and say ah now I can connect yes no clue Pastor no clue no clue wow wow so and that's what I start doing in prison I start preaching and preaching and preaching I forgot about my I remember also that in some point the Holy Spirit I was as I start asking God take me out of here M okay in some point you know when you are in there you got some days that you are super strong but it's like real life but then there is some days that you start getting worri yeah and you want to go out you start missing your your family family yes uh you I I will like I remember that was with me was more about I want to preach the gospel I want to preach to all my friends I want to tell them about this so good that I we never had it outside right no nobody preached to me outside nobody got to me nobody tell me about Jesus how 20 21 21 when you gave your heart to Jesus 21 and I was there for one and a half year actually I was there for 10 month 10 months 10 month and then immigration um got my case and they removed my resident wow and they deport me to Cuba no way I'm still deported so wait wait hold hold on so now now this gets serious so you are deported but you're in this podcast talking to me yes you're a pastor here in the United States and you're also you work for the police department as a as a Chaplain as a chap for HPD and you're Police Department deported yes wow that's yeah that's how crazy it's crazy how God works everything out and how he he has a plan for everything so you went to Cuba and you were deported so how did you get back no no no there is no deportation to Cuba okay but you still have to sign up for to for deportation but they just cannot send you back to oh I didn't know that okay so you got to stay here oh and wait for the government to to change and wow Cuban government to AC set Cuban Refugee to go back and Cuba doesn't want any Refugee to go back he's trying to they trying to put every you know to push everybody out not no not to get anybody so it's been over 20 years and you're still here yes 20 that was in 2001 look at that so 23 years 23 years 23 years but that's when you know it's it's not normal and it's supernatural because at the end God has a say you know you can try to fight the will of God but when he says this is my child this is your calling this is what you're going to do it looked impossible but look you're still here because he's in control that's why I I'm so in love Sergio yes with God because he I had that experience of knowing god 101 yeah it's good I mean we got to preach the gospel yes so people don't I don't this I don't I don't want anybody to go through the things that I went through right that's we need to pre then we need to go out and all that but I had at the same time that experience that I wouldn't change it for anything yeah man I know that I lost my resident when when he's when the day came comes that he want the government to give you know to give me back my my my green card I will receive it yeah it's not I know I don't even pray for that right I and I his hand you know what I need and what I don't need right he knows whenever he actually two weeks ago he told me get ready to travel so I know that I'm going to be traveling my goodness so I said thank you God my resident is coming so from that day on yeah every I check every day my mailbox that's crazy I'm just waiting I would come back here I I say look what I have look what I have wow that's the guy that that I serve that's the god that we serve so I want to mention so fast forwarding a couple of years ago go God spoke to you and maybe you can tell me in your words he says what are you doing and you're like I'm pastoring you were 16 years yeah yeah tell me that story December 22 okay after K after all that the same voice spoke speak back to me spoke back to me and told me you're not doing what I call you to do I said what do you I know that voice but people don't know you Pastor Eddie Gayo yes I mean when he says you're not doing what I'm calling you to do you were already pastoring a church for for 15 years why would God say that and only that I mean I'm super I've been always Super Active right I've been a chaplain for HPD for Hollywood like a year ago but before that I've been a chaplain I've been going back to the jails to preach the gospel for 15 years wow that's a Ministry that because he took me out of out of Ja out of jail for me so easy to go back and tell them look at the eyes of those inmates and tell them one day I was sitting where you are and everything changed for them when you know somebody faced them anyways I was pastoring already I was going you know doing Ministry I've been that's the only thing I've been doing after I get out uh even in there for that one and a half years I was preaching to the inmate I was preaching to the to the officers right and even officers was getting safe amen I was I was wild in there yeah um anyways 15 years after or actually more than that the Holy Spirit told me in the 22 Yeah December you are no doing what I call you to do that's crazy I said Lord the only thing I've been doing is serving you serving you I been a pastor wow you protect me that that I so I never went back to the world so so what do you mean and then he showed me back the same vision wow I saw again myself surrounded of people wow preaching the gospel but now for the first time is that I really understand what I'm supposed to do I mean I knew like probably two years after that I was C or maybe I don't know four months after right that I was called to preach the gospel yes but December of the of of the 22 MH is when I really understand what his what the vision that he want me to go back to evangelize my first go was as an evangelist got it okay was no to be a pastor okay and I never had the desire to become a pastor right they they asked me MH and then I had F I have I complete five years of of my schooling schooling yeah to of theology I changed my major from Veterinary to theology okay so but was so strong I was so re refreshing because there is something we can serve the Lord but when you are in the center of his will that's it that's it everything change yes and then you got all his power supporting you that's it yeah and then you start listening to him like never before yep only if you are in the center of his will yeah that's what I tell I tell people all the time there's a difference between doing the will of God and being in the will of God that's powerful anybody can do the will of God that's powerful you heal the sick you cast out a demon but yet he says depart from me your workers of iniquity I never knew you so gifts and and the power doesn't demonstrate the relationship y it's when you're in his will when you're in his wills like you said you hear his voice it may look weird people may see his will what you're doing but listen you're fulfilling the the the call that God has upon your life I'm not called and and God doesn't make photocopies so I'm not called to replicate another Pastor another preacher my job is to listen to the one that's going to say you're good and Faithful Servants we are old genius every every person is a genius that but what happened is that not everybody discovered even in the ministry yes um ex what what is it that the Lord want him to do or want us to do so I said okay God what do you want he showed me the vision back wow so I start praying and there is the the the the second thing the second part which is super important if you don't die to yourself that's it you won't you won't do his will yes because we have we carry in the ministry so many things that belong to us or that we copy yes that that is it is not it's not even biblical no yeah yeah so I start I start praying I ask and and sometimes is you pray but there is you know there is a difference between praying and praying yeah I understand sometimes you pray because it's good right and you and we got to pray every day yes but it's different when the Holy Spirit take you to to that level of prayer yes of denying yourself yes of dying to your to your to your desires right and then I start dying for six month and then six month after yeah I I hear his voice what are you willing to do for the city wow po that was another if you if you ask me tell me three season or three times where you heard his voice loud and clear when I got safe um December 22nd MH and June June 9 of the 23rd 2023 yes is when he gave me the vision of revive so basically what he was saying was what are you doing in the church I want you to get out of the church and preach my gospel to those that are not saved that's po you see this is something so difficult for a pastor to comprehend here in 2024 and I'm going to tell you why it took me 20 a year but I'm going to tell you why because you look at the pulpit now and it looks like the end result like like a lot of people look at the pastor say I can't wait to reach to that but that's not what God is calling he's given us all different callings and our job is to be obedience because obedience is better than sacrifice amen amen amen amen and that was crazy you know what I left those six month dying and the experience that I had I remember in the same December of the 22 yeah when I started dying denying denying myself yes I I stood up at church and I asked my whole church to to forgive me wow I said don't worry I'm know in sing or anything like that but I just realized that I I haven't been pastoring the way I should and then I I share the vision or everything with them and every the whole church um Serio was crying wow was touch um it's beautiful man one thing is to teach yeah the Bible but another another thing super different is to impart the Bible yeah the differ is that when you teach you can you teach from your knowledge but when you when you impart you are giv one part of of the area that was transformed yes and that's that's the gospel that's the pure gospel and then I was telling forgive me telling them forgive me uh I haven't been pastoring the right way I haven't been doing what Jesus would do in my in my in my shoes in in my you know and then I start asking I remember I start asking Lord for everything yeah or for anything Lord what will you do in this area how will you Pastor how will you preach this this message how will you how will you and then because when you die you don't want to do anything that comes from you yes you just want to give what come from him yes yes and and people start getting transformed and the and the church start started um waking up just last year we had over 450 new visit physical visit to my church wow so but how is that did you promote on the radio how did we started going out so your church went out yeah no the that's what that's what we want to hear so you're telling me this is so you don't understand that this has to be of God because to tell someone church now we're going to go one thing is to tell them and they weep and cry another thing is to get you know you how many you got like two or three to back you up or how many no I mean I remember I've been pastoring for 15 years right right but the the challenge was to transform those believer in disciples yes because believer only believe disciple believe and Obey I like that and then I remember I start preaching like I changed my one of my service for the disciple class everything that I did I I was receiving it from the Lord got it he he restructured my church and all all the every I start spending more time one on one with the disciples like Jesus used to do yes I start following the the design the the the the Bible if Jesus after the service he used to go back to the father then I have to do that correct if Jesus after a service used to get get some disciples and and you know and go somewhere else and spend time to with that with them I'm sorry I used I start doing that okay and then you can see the fruits because you are not doing anything uh following your your lead your own lead or your own decide no everything comes from above amen everything good come from above so people start getting transformed yes so then I start say you know what Saturday we're going to go out so I got probably 15 20 people wow that's a lot fire up right there yeah because was this is the thing s yeah when you are in the spirit uhhuh everything become easier amen because he don't do anything and people start even we got connected people start the Holy Spirit start sending you the people with the same heart yes that maybe hadn't hasn't haven't find found a church right that is that is compatible mhm um with their heart or or or there also there is a lot of people that is tired of that fake gospel yeah that shut down gospel that everything is you know it's like you know it's like unfortunately it's a business you know yeah and not only that they they it's like I I see it like they get connected to to an outlet yeah and they start feeling that the electricity wait a minute is that is that is that it right is that is that all that the Holy Spirit has no let's get connected not even to the to the transfor to the transformator to the yeah the Transformer Transformer yeah no let's download all the the full power yes you know and then we see we will see Miracles we will see healing that's right we will see the Full Gospel yes that is is more than Apostolic or prophetic or evangelist no it's it's it's about the full power of God Amen going you know through the Believers yeah and and getting people to know God like PA used to say I I'm not here with just words that's it I'm here with the power of God demonstration yeah and if we don't demonstrate the gospel then it's not the gospel the gospel without power is not the gospel right if you remove all the power from Jesus he will be only a a conferencista yeah does conferences spee and a speaker yeah yeah yeah we are not speakers yeah and and he said he said in Acts that when you receive the holy spirit this power will come upon you yes and it's to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ you know one thing one thing funny yeah uh before all this transformation you know that I mentioned I we still used to go out to preach the gospel but nobody was getting saved nobody want prayer interesting now we go out and they do lines wow praise God to receive prayer amen because we have something to give and and the almighty God show the people touch their hearts so they just you know line up it's it's funny how they made it line for me so I pray for them wow or one of my disciples you know you know what I'm hearing and and I want to get into how many uh church members helped you in the ministry you know in the streets but what I'm hearing and what I think what's key here is you see you can have a seed and you can plant it and it can have the right environment it can have the soil the water can have the sun it can be in the right environment but it won't grow yep because the seed first has to die yep after the seed dies then it can grow and that's that's what I'm hearing yeah so your ministry completely changed the moment that you died and then now because you had all the right elements you're already pastoring you in the church but now you're being obedient now God begins to water and now the tree begins to grow I see the fruits that's why you're here amen I see the fruits thank and I seen I went to your and I was part of revive that's one of the outreaches you had and I was an impact by the hundreds if not thousands of people that came I'm going to tell you what I was impacted by that I have not seen in Miami and for ladale I thought I seen your entire church there I've seen so many people working there was tents everywhere and I'm like wait a minute these are the same people when I visited the church these are the ones that are serving this is crazy to me I don't see that it is crazy they weren't serving upset angry sweating looking everybody had joy in their hearts everybody had their respected places I saw prayer tent I saw it was crazy yeah and I'm like this is what it's supposed to be like in the body of Christ that was crazy um he asked me the SEC the third the third time that I hear for real his voice um that I knew that that I had when he when the Lord speak to you when he really speak to you is it's like you cannot say no he like okay Lord is his voice so powerful that you have to obey yes and the feeling that I had is that if I don't obey I die and I thought my train has gone had gone I thought I thought I was going to I was I was just gonna be a pastor wow a Bor Pastor more active than most of the pastor yeah but still no in the center of his will wow and I remember that remind me Abraham sometimes the Lord give us a promise yes and times start running and I believe that the Lord wants to fulfill that promise yes next day yes yes but we don't allow him because we don't we don't put ourself in the right position yes I have to die to die start dying it's not that I die no I start dying I still today before I got here I was I was saying Lord give me the endurance to support to be more time with you give me the endurance now that's all I'm praying is endurance yes I want to stay more time in prayer reading with him I was telling you before today early that I was mad because I want I wanted today to spend the whole day with with the Lord right and I couldn't do stuff for the ministry right right right and and that's when we sometimes in some point we're going to get back to that so yeah I start dying anyway I start dying um and then he he told me um what are you going to do with for the city that was June 9th okay I was in a conference and in the middle of the conference everybody was was like screaming I just was crying wow and I that's weird that it happened to me I'm saying why everybody was like and then and then you you are like what what are they doing they don't even yeah and then the Holy Spirit was up on me I was so convicted that mean I I'm as we mentioned yeah I I've been I've been I always been super spiritual MH pastoring I don't I never play with the ministry I never abuse no even about money about you know how am I I'm super you know yeah but I was convicted I I asked one question to myself what about if all of us and we got there were like 1,200 people yeah what about if we just go out and preach the gospel instead of be here being here screaming just Jesus Hallelujah yeah what about if we do something because Serio I believe that the Lord is more concerned about what we do than about what we say amen you know everybody's saying and saying and saying but there is no demonstration there is no there is no there's no an action that back up what we say yeah so the Holy Spirit SP to me and say what what are you willing to do for the city so automatically I felt a different weight on my shoulders was not for my church wasn't for uh one to people or two people yeah was for the city and then revive come up revive so how did you come up with the name revive I guess I don't even I don't even he heard about revive name right I heard about a movement got it I I I never heard I saw first was a question what are you what are you willing to do for the city then that question create a weight of of people is getting lost man wow and we hear just so I start praying I said okay Lord is that what you want just give me one chance give it to me please give it to me I W disappoint you I will run like a wild horse I will run like in the beginning right and all that Vision was was coming was flashing back to me of getting people safe of getting people safe and and because we lose man we lose ourself in the ministry right and we just start receiving the people that sometimes get to church and getting those people safe but that's not the real gospel that's not what Jesus did Jesus was out all the time right preaching healing teaching teaching preaching and healing that's what the gospel said that he was doing right those three things yes you know teaching the gospel um preaching the gospel and Healing The Sick yeah that's it I got to ask you a question because now you got to remember 16 years preaching and now you're going out to the streets and and remember you have a lot of pastor's friends I don't know what you're going to ask but I I kind of how is how did your church friends not the not the church myself yeah I didn't know what to say wow I didn't know I lost this the the main message of the Gospel which is salvation wow I lost it I lost it and most of the most of the people of of the pastor one thing is to make a altar code to the church yeah those people people are already those people I mean some pastors don't even do that right and that's that's a chain yeah but Pastor like me I used to call people to the altar to get safe but those those heart are already safe maybe they are not but they're about to they it's just a matter of time yeah but when you go out right where you don't have the music you don't have the hallelujah oh yeah you got wild people that they don't believe in what you believe yes and they going to go against you M and tell them about preach to them about the love of the of God yeah I I didn't I lost that I didn't know how to do it wow I I I felt so bad about my I said how is and then I have that phrase that I lost myself inside of the church that's crazy I lost I was lost I was One Pastor lost inside of the church wow that's crazy so is a if if a when Pastor hear about this probably will crucify me or will identify you know yeah yeah himself with and then I remember that I we start going out and then I I start calling some of some people that the Holy Spirit told me to call them okay and the one of the first first one that I call was a designer of the logo revive for that and he was one of the a one of the a um MC for for the Festival yes yes yeah so I said Andreas you you are one of the first person that I'm going to share where the Lord deposit in my heart I want to go all out I want to do I don't know I want to rent the Lord told me to get a plaza the biggest Plaza that I could get and by that time I had nothing I just was just Vision a vision yeah or a feeling of do something where people will gather together right we'll gather and we'll listen to The Gospel M wasn't about going out and evangelist I was already doing that for six months right um because remember that that is already June right five month that I six months since December you know I started so he just told me I'm on it if you if it's to win souls come on me so then we had a meeting with member of of my of my church yes I mean I I I was I I felt myself I saw myself like Jesus choosing the disciples I was like I I wasn't me I was praying and the Holy Spirit was telling me that one that one that one I was seeing his Dead faces wow in my prayer yeah so the group for revive revive we had like over 3,000 people that day you know what's interesting and I think is important to mention is that you say 3,000 people but if you have a church that's a mega church that can call all the the you know Sister churches and they can get 300 Christians there we're talking about these people were nonbelievers that's when you know it is God when you see people smoking cigarettes and you know alcoholics and drunk and you know homosexual because I was touched by that young man that came to the front but it was a it looked like a woman completely a pretty woman a pretty woman I was a man and crying out to Jesus fell on his I remember I was preaching wow that day I was at Revival Life Festival I was preaching and and that guy was in his knee yes with with his H long had breast and everything like a woman and heing and he was I I remember that I I was I was preaching and I was moving my you know my eyes around yeah but I was making ice contact because he was so oi at that moment was so touched by the Holy Spirit yes yes I'm so convicted yes of of the sin yes that and then at the end is when you know uh they they my staff yes bring her or bring him to me and one of my member ask ask him tell him what you what you really are and he was crying he was I amen wow and you know I saw him coming from the back I'm talking about I didn't see that imagine when the woman was trying to Touch the Hem of the Garment of Jesus that's what I saw all the way from the back I mean and the face looked like frantic back to normal frantic so I saw the struggle but he was so like focused on going to the front and then fell on his knees and started crying I I thought it was a young lady the whole time me too me too and just to see what God and there many many many testimonies it was so many testimonies that I got to hear but unsaved people I'm kind of tired of going to events and it's just the church the same church save people me to me too so me too it was powerful that event was powerful I remember we start do you remember we started doing the revive at the beach yes and that was that revive at the beach I'm in

put all all the all the music all all the musician there they start playing people start getting you know there yeah and you know what I I liked about that event usually when there's a Christian event and now especially nowadays you know with all the division that's taking place people are angry like oh get me I don't I don't want to be around this but no but there is different I know that's what I want to mention so I'm watching from the back watching everything and I'm just seeing people come and and they're amazed they're looking around like I like this I see people try to walk away and it's like like God stops them and they turn around they either hear the messic or or message or they're clapping man it is so beautiful what God has called you to do I have I I had an experience there I remember um last year I think was in September the last event or before the last event I don't know yeah um I I preached you know we put the music MH people started getting there together or how do you say gaing gaing together right yeah Gathering Together gathering together so then I jump I start preaching and people start getting safe after that by the instruction of the Holy Spirit we start baptizing people in the I saw that I saw the line and I'm like this is just it's not normal that was that was crazy who does this I was I was going to baptize one member of my church right right when when they see her getting getting dressed oh no getting you know like a white thing on top I don't know something like that that with Christian do I don't know where we got that from we start dressing up people and then when I remember one young man he came to me I said oh man he going to hit me was a big black guy with long hair and he got to myself said are you the pastor I don't know I didn't know you were about to point no he's the pastor I probably said oh my goodness I was about to say no I'm I'm not the pastor right but then I couldn't I canot lie so I said right right yes hit me hit me come on give you a my shot oh my goodness I said can I get baptized and he start crying wow I start crying I said of course and that mean I mean people that was s sitting there yes in this you know almost naked yeah and they were touched by the holy spirit amen so he I said of course and then I made the Salvation prayer they accept Christ yes and then I explained you know in two minute what is yeah you know baptized to get baptized what is baptism what is about you know why we do it correct but we we gospel cannot be complicated that's it that's simple that's the key we complicated it's simple W listen we had a lady she accept Christ in my calling there and then also she was in the line to get bapti okay but at the moment that she was going inside the water she manifest and said I don't want want to go to the water I don't want to go to the water so I looked at her and the Holy Spirit tell me give her my love the love of the father yes so I was like can I hug you no no you cannot touch me I said can I pray for you yes you can pray for me and then at the moment that I was going to start praying the Holy Spirit showed me one lady pregnant one pregnant lady going to a shed house okay like a oil house like like like those house that I used to go when when I I I used I was practicing witchcraft okay okay um like a chck right like yeah those type of old house mhm and then Holy Spirit tell me that lady that that that kid or that baby that is in that womb womb yeah is this lady that is in front of you oh wow and they going to make a pack satanic pack so this is the way that I deliver I show you how that demonic or that demon got inside of the lady even before she was she was uh you know out she was already packed got it packed it so I just went back to that I I remember myself saying you know I caught any satanic uh Ru I deliver you I went I went through so I saw it at the moment she was deliberate wow at the now why I mention that because now we got process at churches we got process to get people delivered right and long process and I'm not against with against but it's not it's not what the bible teach there it's not written in the Bible right when you die or you are dying yeah you you really get connected to the holy spirit amen and he teach you he tell you what to do exactly and that's what the Bible tell you about the Holy Spirit telling you exactly what to do and how to do it yes so uh I believe that we got to go back to that amen and that's the that's the true gospel so I know you have a very important date 7:20 yeah I I don't want you to miss the date I didn't notice yeah with your wife so revive if people want to find out and get connected with revive or get connected with the Beach do you have like a website or yes yeah so what's the website they just got to you just got to go to even YouTube yes and if you put just revive Life Festival revive live festival. live l i v e v yeah festival. got it okay and we have a channel on on YouTube okay you have a YouTube so it's under revive live F Festival all social medias they can social media they can go to revive life okay and I believe that right now if you put that name is we're going to be the first one okay and man it's it's so I feel so amen so good yes doing what he asked me what what he he really create me to do amen sometimes we do a stuff which are good but we weren't created to do those stuff that's right and we just do it because somebody else is doing it yes and I I I said this before each one we are genius but we need to to find out what what are we called to do yes and when we imitate somebody we make from our soul a bad copy of somebody else yeah a bad copy I said that earlier God doesn't make photoc copies yeah yeah and and that's why I like I like you said you we got so good connected yeah amen was the Lord yes and yeah I don't I don't I don't I don't have I don't have right now until today too many reference to many people to go and say you know what I have this Vision let's go out let's do this let's do that yes everybody is so in love with their Ministry yes that they they forgot about you know real love yeah real love we we really need to be in love with God Amen and to his will we need to die to our desires so we we become a light Amen to his wheel that's what What attracted me to you is that I I see you're authentic you really love people you know I get to visit churches and and you say hi to the pastor they look at you for two seconds they turn their eyes away you you'll stay talking for hours you know and it's like you you really are your passion it's your passion but you see it you see it you it's a passion that was asleep was asleep was asleeping right right until the Holy Spirit touch you and he wake you up yes that is too cold call that I do yeah one call the Holy Spirit told me you know what told me don't don't think about salvation as onetime event salvation is a lifestyle yes and there is a lot of people from my from that I safe that are safe yes but they lost the first love because first love doesn't have to do with timing yes is with position how close is the Lord in your heart in in your heart yes and so every time I make a I make a call mhm I I I don't only call um new new you know new people right I wake up Christian that are far away from the Lord amen that they are Christian right but they are they are no in love yes and if you are no in love you're don't going to you don't you're going to lose the fire you're going to lose the passion um you got to spend time you know you say I have a a special meeting after here I'm going out every Friday I go out with my wife that's beautiful and I I was telling you yeah um when I started doing that it refreshed so much my relationship yes and and marriage is is the for me is the best comparison with our relationship with the Lord if we don't spend quality time if we don't deny yourself I may want a stay here but I have a day that's right and every day we we need to have a day with our Lord yes and ask the Holy Spirit to help us yes he's the one that put how now one question is how do you keep your fire I don't keep it he keep it that's it I only asking is this fire is so unique that you cannot do it by by yourself that's it of course you got to pray I pray I read every morning every day I have a devotional not because I have to it's because there is a need yes to my soul yes to my soul of being with him yeah not only pray not only read is being with him amen quality time yes and and would would that come just because I want it no sometimes I don't want to yeah but my best friend my very best friend is the holy spirit amen and then I just I just I'm honest I'm transparent I said you know what I'm tired I don't want to do it m please help me yeah and in one moment everything switch amen you know it's a change it's it's a it's a turn around in the spirit where now I just felt that I I want to be with him I want to spend the whole night yes the whole day and I want to leave that Spirit you know Amen to to everybody that will that will watch the that is watching this yes you know ask the holy spirit to guide you and to give you that that input that that that power is real amen doesn't get all that's right he he never get all yeah and another thing I like about you is that you always point to Jesus like a lot of pastors and I get it I get it it becomes like a job I get it it happens to everybody it happens to me it happens to you happen it's very dangerous it happens because of just being repetitive repetitive but when he speaks to you realigns you and just shows you the revelations that's when you come alive and then you're like wow I didn't feel his presence like this I mean my prayer life wasn't like this and it because you were doing his will but you Wen in his will and to be in his will we learned that we have to die to ourselves so the reason why I said that I like that you point people to Jesus is because you're going to fail them I guarantee you oh yes you're going to fail him but Jesus will never fail them he will never leave them never forsake them if he's not the center of your life yes your personal life your family yeah your job yeah your ministry you're dying and you don't even know notice amen the only way you everything is alive is when he's the center that's it and start with you one one yes you and him yes and he so powerful when he's the center because just the money for revive revive we we to do a r Rive Life Festival mhm we need at least 40 G $40,000 I remember the Lord telling me you're not going to ask for an offering at your church wow no no you're going you're not going to pick up not even one offering at at your church I say okay Lord and one month before everything was pay off wow he gave you the vision and then he gave you the provision that's when you know it's him everything praise God this year he told me I'm going to allow you to have Partners amen so okay Lord thank you but it's not because you need it right I already show you that you only need me and we only need god wow to whatever Vision to whatever calling to to for for our marriages yes for our life our our daughters and son if we put him at the center and we asking how will you do it how do you want me to do it anything anything not only a a festival not only a you know this Festival we call it Festival but it's a movement it's a Evangelistic movement yes it's not a festival right um then he will do it because he's the one that does everything I believe he's telling you now he wants you to partner is because in part I believe those that are going to partner they can't physically be there but they can financially help so now they become part of the vision and that's going to be part of the vision spreading that just here in for ladale but Miami Palm Beach and and different you know different parts of the world you know a prophet a prophet spoke to me a big Prophet spoke to me last month and he said um two things first the lord gave you authority over Florida for revive Life Festival amen second what you been asking in in in private the Lord is giving you to you and the only thing I've been asking is I want to see his glory amen I want to see wonders I want to see Miracles and we saw we see we I saw people in wheelchair to stand up in Revival Life Festival that year we have the testimony yeah but I I want more s you yes I want I want cars driving in the I95 to you know pull over to revive and say I don't know why I'm here but I want I want this I'm believing for everything I don't tired my brother I'm tired of of just lead of God you know he he does he want to give it all amen he gave it all that's it we already have it yes and through Jesus we can download all the power that is gravitating for us to get it and to share it in our in our jobs in in the supermarket in anywhere yes anywhere and that's the gospel it's a real power it's not fake it's not about a church it's it's about the body life amen and revive is is is going to grow because I it's not about me yes I remove my name from revive I remove my church name from revive yes my church has another name I don't you know I'm not promoting my church here I'm not promoting myself I'm promoting Jesus salvation and that's it we don't need to promote anything else amen that's it so I want to finish with this pastor and I think it's important this this is what I've been hearing in this podcast is and you said something key so everyone's a seed in other words everyone has the potential oh yes so God has already given each and every person he's given them all the potential but in order for that potential to to go forth in their lives they have to die to themselves and that's when the seed will begin to grow so the seed must die in order so it can become a tree and then it can grow and then when when it becomes a tree and it grows it's going to give fruit in its due season yes and that is where the ministry that God has given you it can become Global but it all starts from the seed dying thanks Pastor it's a blessing that's the only way it's a blessing and I thank you for coming out and we're going to have you back cuz I know you have a date but we want to hear how you just became a resident so I [Music] you
