Ex-Warlock Discusses Dangers of Occult as Millions Celebrate Darkness on Halloween

so Pastor Rich I have read a little bit about your story and you have a wild testimony you came to Faith a couple of years ago in 2019 you're a preacher now and there's so much to unpack and I don't want to start with your childhood I actually want to start with you were living a life very different from being a pastor and a Christian you were living essentially in in the occult how in the world did you end up you know dealing with these issues like Voodoo saying how did you end up there so it was um me seeking spiritual um truth it's the the question that used to run through my mind and really bothered me a lot was what's the purpose of life because I had attained um all these worldly um goals like these check marks on my list my lifetime you know list to fulfill certain things and you know things were um being fulfilled the goals I had since I was younger money traveling um you know even um educational you know everything that I wanted you know woman all these things and um I was still empty inside so that question would run through my mind constantly what's the purpose of life like what are we doing here and I would be with my friends you know smoking drinking partying just hanging out you know and just asking that question um constantly like hey guys you know what do you guys think we're doing here and people would always want to change the subject they wouldn't want to you know talk about it because it's a deep question and um that's what led me me um to consider spiritual practices and it wasn't really um until I lost a package a drug package in the mail that just sparked everything um because you were a drug lore by the way you were you were a drug lore like you were dealing drugs right I mean this is something you were doing yeah I was a Kingpin um drug lord I lit like if I was to get arrested um if I would have got arrested back then through um through that around that time they would have they would have definitely marked me with um like a Kingpin char and all that cuz of the operation I had it was from um state to state it was Federal even out of the country it was a huge marijuana operation my entire life I sold drugs but this was like when I really went all in and started to um really build a network and um yeah man I lost the package it was for about $20,000 and I mean back then it wasn't really a lot for me because um I was making a lot more but it was more of like a pride thing it was more like of I need to figure out who did this you know and I had dabbled on the dark web and all that and I knew how I knew how the dark web worked um when it came to drugs and um how people manipulate um even you know the postal you know USPS UPS FedEx how they're able to get in and and um steal packages and I just felt something like man I I want to figure out who did this like you know the package on you know on the system just said you know not delivered it just was a pending delivery never changed I I remember I even called USPS off of you know my burner phone you know trying to figure out information and they just couldn't figure it out um USPS I'm sorry and um I mean I just I just went deep um I decided you know what I can't do it in the Physical Realm I'm going to take it to the spiritual realm and at this point I had already dabbled in um psychedelics um you know things like um yoga Buddhism Hinduism quantum physics I I already been studying these things you know Nikolai Tesla just his um what he believed in you know his theological stance on spiritual spiritual stuff Frederick Nichi um you know I was and all these guys by the way they had terrible um life life-ending uh tragedies you know suicide and different things they went crazy because they couldn't figure it out either so at this point I was like you know what this gives me an excuse let's go to Haiti and the girl I was dating you know she she had a voodoo priest um cousin in Haiti wellknown in a city called Jack Mel very very wellknown um very very popular out there you know big property um taken care of because of how how successful he was with the Witchcraft and um so you know when I asked her about you know meeting him and she spoke to him she said that we'd have to go out to Haiti and at that point you know she thought you know you're not going to go you know that's no one goes to Haiti unless you're crazy and I was like well let's go and we went and when we got out there you know I saw things that um I'd never seen before you know I seen the rituals I seen you know the tarot cards I seen a demon a literal ancestral Spirit which is a demon possessed the man um after him doing a whole ritual in demonic worship and praise onto their onto the deity they're called loas and um and Haitian Voodoo and um the demons speak through him and like the devil does you know he wants to kill Ste and Destroy but he'll always tell you what what were you thinking I mean so you go down there this package sends you on this Tail Spin you go down to Haiti and you're going down there to tap into something you know that you assume is greater uh than what you could do as a human being you go down there and you see what you just described as you were watching these things was there any part of you that was like um maybe this was a mistake or were you like wow this is gonna help me like what was going through your mind during that I was um at first I was scared I mean not scared I would say nervous because it was it was a third world country and where this guy had property it was not in a nice area so seeing like the like the people the culture you know buildings half you know half cut off because of the earth earthquake just destroyed you know I I was a little bit on guard and then when I got to see what he was doing I was very defensive um I didn't believe in it I was like man this is a waste of money like there's like you know I spent this money to come out here like this is stupid but then when he started you know reading my cards and doing different things and telling me truths of my past like specific details that's when I was like okay maybe this is it maybe I did make the right decision um but I I want to know who stole my package like I need names I need details and that's the one thing that the devil used to keep me going because he told me all these things but he wouldn't tell me who it was what what that demon spoke through him and said was hey when you get back it'll be revealed to you so I was after seeing all the stuff I saw I mean human skulls in the in the huts and the rituals and I mean that stuff was just just like weird it was Eerie like it was just like I didn't like it I was like man this ain't you know what I what I I prefer but um I respected their culture and like okay this is what they do you know maybe it's a cultural thing traditional thing maybe just because I'm not used to it you know that but I mean even back then I had discernment and I knew that um it was wrong deep down in my stomach I knew it was wrong but um yeah I got back to America that's when things went went crazy I mean friends you know just turning on me and even me turning on Friends it got really divisive um isolation you know I isolated myself um so you were starting to be affected by that experience and by opening yourself up up to that yeah the like once I opened myself up to that it was it was goal time I mean that's when everything just went to a whole another level um my mind um just like my emotions my anger the murder I had in my heart just different things because I'm in the drug game and you know just assumptions and rejection just from you know I didn't know that all these things were just just all came together and were you know they were trying to those those unclean Spirits those demons you know Satan was trying to uh you know induct me into the Demonic realm as a you know dual inducted Warlock and it was a whole plan he had so it was that breaking point and um man I went down a a crazy path it wasn't just Haiti I after that you know I went to more voodo priest in LA and Sidekicks and mediums now I don't even care about the package I don't it doesn't even like matter to me anymore I'm going and seeking more stuff I went to New Orleans um I mean I seen the Warlock that does vu voo for Salange no Beyonce's sister actually seen her walk into the um witchcraft store while I was there um doing rituals like I mean I'm seeing her buy you know the um the items for the ritual her going to the counter you know speaking to the Warlock and then you know thinking man this is Salange Noles this is Beyonce sisters these are multi-millionaires famous people this is my calling like you know this is what I'm called to do this is this is my ancestral you know you know thing like this is what my you know my family my relatives from way back did cuz they have all these lies they tell you all these stories about reincarnation where you come from what your grandma your great great great great great great grandmother did and they try to convince you like man like this is what it is this the truth and man psychics in the mediums I'm assum like the psychics the mediums the other people you're going to see they're telling you you were meant to do this you were meant to go down this path so it starts with that package you go down there you experience that then you start searching for it all all over the place you're seeing people who are reinforcing this idea for those who don't know what is a warlock because that's a term that might be unfamiliar to sim a warlock is um like a male witch a male witch in a way and a warlock isn't just um someone who wears crystals around their neck like Tik Tock you know you see like it's someone who really practices it's like a demonic a demonic Pastor or demonic Prophet like a leader like you have a pastor of a church someone who leads a church then you got the other side a warlock is someone who trains up other Warlock who trains them up to be used and eventually get their own what in um in that culture they call a Botanica which is a a witchcraft store and once you have that then you start then you start training up it's like the devil takes everything God does and perverts it so like just like you know in the kingdom of God we have you know the Apostle Prophet evangelist Pastor teacher right in Ephesians the fold Ministry you also have the the devil who takes it and perverts it on the other side and has his his his version of it because he can't create only could just pervert you know yeah and so you so you're starting to believe this that there's this whole history in your family that you should embrace this what was going on in terms of your practice of you were you communing communicating with these demons were you interacting with them what was sort of happening as you were descending into this I was definitely uh communicating with them um my faith was was was at such a level in these ancestral Spirits or demons that I believed you know they were who they what I was taught so there was different Spirits um you know there was Cherokee Spirits you know Haitian Voodoo Spirits Sadia spirits who have names and um and I would I would listen to them I would hear their voice I would listen to them I would follow them I would um I would be led places um there was like you know Divine stuff happening like it was or Supernatural stuff happening that um that really made me believe like man this is this is real you know and it wasn't God it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't Yahweh it wasn't you know Yeshua it wasn't it wasn't um the highest power but it was a def it was a demonic power um and um man I I seen things I seen things that were real um I took you know ritual baths I did rituals um I saw power um and it was it was real it was definitely real and it was it was deceptive though how long and I would add too you know you you were in the military right you had this success that was really good success but that was tainted as you were sort of living this double life were that was that over so the this descent into the a call did that overlap your military experience did that also overlap sort of your your normal life that you were living it did so um when I um when I got out of the military um again I had my um my FAA um certificate like um as a air traffic controller I was certified through the FAA to work as a air traffic control controller in the towers um I could have went and just started working um had to go to Oklahoma um Oklahoma take a few more tests and and really get certified and just go all out making you know six figures starting off I had my my um my bachelor's degree I was in graduate school all that stuff great GPA but um I stopped everything I stopped all my plans going from going like you know going that route even the marijuana it was like money like the love of or the the the the feing for money like I I had my entire life it kind of like transitioned to where everything was like spiritual now I had a savings and everything thing and I was just like you know I'm going to go all out with the spiritual stuff because I want to I want to know the truth like I deep down I knew there was more so like in witchcraft there's always more to learn and more to do like there's never a like a oh I got it now like I know the truth now it's always something new that's what led me into Shamanism being trained up by shamans with chakra balancing um actually one of a famous Shaman worldwide like I mean known worldwide he trained me up you know in um West pal Beach and you know and I learned I learned all that stuff the Cherokee and Syrian Spirits the breath work I did the breath work I've been to all those practices where everyone's breathing in and breathing out and you know there's actual demonic manifestations people like de demons like manifesting I didn't know that back then I thought it was like you're just you're getting rid of your trauma and like all this stuff and man it was it was it was crazy because of how it it was real but there wasn't a truth revealed to where it satisfied you know deep down in your spirit like this is it it was always more so you know it's interesting because and I'm trying to put myself in your mindset back then you were you were selling drugs you lose this package you know you're trying to solve this thing you go down this path you just described and I think one of the saddest things about this and correct me if I'm wrong at all but a lot of people who go into the occult certain parts of it they think they're helping people they actually believe like we're here to heal these people or even a psychic or a medium and I don't think a lot of Christians think think of it this way but they believe they're connecting you with a dead loved one that they're actually helping you some of these people you know as a warlock even did you believe you were doing even though you had these nefarious things you were trying to uncover with the drugs and who you know stole the package did you believe you were helping people like what was your mindset as you were in the midst of this I definitely I definitely believed I was helping people I mean I was trying to convince family members and Friends of this stuff like I was I was I was I was teaching people and letting them know hey this is good this our this is this is this there's a white side and a black side white magic and black magic you know and really it just balances each other out but hey I'm not on the the bad side I'm not I don't want to kill anybody I'm on the good side with you know with the herbs and the different things that that you could you could heal emotion emotions and traumas and physical ailments and and I thought that I was doing the right thing I mean I was even trying to convince my mother and father that it was that it was our ancestral um line like this is ancestral spirits and I thank God that my father and mother you know they stood strong I mean my dad even though as a lukewarm Christian at the time um you know you know out of the church kind of living a real lukewarm lifestyle he still stood strong it was like the blood of Jesus because my grandma my grandmother and I didn't know this till later was a powerful woman of God you know she already uh was in heaven at the time of this whole you know um spiritual uh Journey but um but she taught my dad things at a young age and I didn't know any of this till I got saved and my and then my dad actually came back to the Lord recently which is good which is amazing on fire for Jesus now but your whole your whole family has right I mean so you're trying to convince them of you were trying to spend all this time convince them of this stuff you become a Christian and a pastor now your whole family has and that which is amazing Hallelujah my my entire family my my father my mother my brother who um you know who looked at me in the eyes when I first got saved and said wait till you find out it isn't Jesus you know cuz he was um at the time very famous with cryptocurrency on YouTube you can look him up Alexander Lorenzo well known in the cryptocurrency the community one of the first ones multi-millionaire big Warehouse you know cars and you know that that that Fame and that Pride but um he actually fell um he fell um had a hard fall and came to Christ um got Deliverance healing and is on fire for the Lord now on fire I mean dedicated to Jesus like true relationship with God filled with the Holy Spirit like and God is is building him back up which is beautiful but yeah my entire family by the grace of God got saved and they're on fire for Jesus now so how deep you you had that Voodoo experience and then santoria did you view Voodoo and Santa Ria as helpful and good you know because I know that while you were there you said some of it seemed not you know that it was a little off you knew that some of it was off what was your taking How deep did you go in those particular elements so there's a there's a white side and a and a black side like they call it white magic and black magic and I I um I I educated myself on both and saw different things on both I actually was um I actually turned down uh a few rituals that were offered to me by um a voodoo the voodoo priest from Haiti who actually came to Florida to um to work with me but you know because he he actually told me like hey you could light up a candle to kill this person who owes you money and that's the first time um I just I Heard a Voice tell me if you do this I can't help you and um I actually asked the voodoo priest about Jesus um at that very moment I just felt led to ask him because I was raised Catholic and um I'll never forget the minute I asked asked him about Jesus when I said hey you know what about Jesus and you know the demon inside of him put you know put his head down and wouldn't look at me in the eyes and the girl I was with who's now my wife she actually she saw it too and she and Creo said it again what about Jesus who was Jesus and he was like oh if you know if I if I explain this to you it's going to take a whole day we'll do this tomorrow we can't do that like we got really nervous and ended the um and ended the uh the meeting that we were having because when you have a meeting with these uh these warlocks and witches you got to you got to bring a sacrifice you got got to bring an amount of money you got to bring a bottle of rum you got to bring a cigar whatever they require like every demon or deity requires a a certain sacrifice in order to summon him in the body of the person but it's all it's all just it's all fake but that the demon already inside the person you know it's just coming up but um I saw all different types of stuff um white magic and black magic the white the the white magic I thought was good you know the protective side I used to wear an evil eye so I had an evil eye $300 evil eye that was straight from Africa that they blessed they um they took and blessed it how they would bless certain objects was you know by doing a ritual and and it's supposedly protected me I had beads on different types of beads for different deities they there were certain beads like red and white for chango you know green and um green and yellow for another's deity and different blue and white and these these beads were supposed to protect you and if you wore the beads the deities would be around you and would um protect you from evil so I thought that I was protected from Evil My altars protected me from Evil coming in my home um the sage that I would burn would protect me from Evil coming in my home the salt in the corners would protect me from Evil coming in my home when really I was just opening up demonic portals and allowing demons in you know magnet you were making yourself a magnet to be a magnet to to evil um so so you I mean this is it's wild to me I mean how many years did you spend how much time did you spend in the occult so it it was a it was a oneyear process it was a quick one-year process proc of me getting deep going to different spiritual practices I mean I didn't I wasn't working I wasn't selling drugs I wasn't in I got I was out of the military I was fully focused on just figuring out like like more and more truth so it was a it was a one-year process and at the end of that oneye process what happened so um after getting very like again getting very deep and um and and the practices and and just continuing to learn more and more and more and more um eventually God started sending Christians so Christians just started approaching me um in a liquor store one Christian approached me um The Barber my new Barber I had left California moved to West Palm Beach um a new Barber that I um was going to his name is Paul and um he started telling me about Jesus and showing me Christian rap and um you know all these super coincidental events led me to to just like like considering maybe it is Jesus but I always kept it in the back burner because I was still deep into the Witchcraft but it wasn't until I ran across a video on YouTube as I was looking up um Shakra balancing and raiki healing um just trying to uh perfect My Craft um just get better at it I ran across the video from um torbin sandard from the last Reformation powerful man of God um and he was casting demons out of a raiki Healer I saw the title on my recommended you know raiki healer delivered I forgot the how the title went but it was raik healer delivered from demons or whatever I clicked it and when I saw this witch getting delivered from demons after being a raike Healer for like 9 10 years talking about her experience how she got delivered healed filled with the Holy Spirit and then was out in the streets already praying for people and they were getting healed it just it sparked my interest and I remember saying to my girlfriend like hey like you know Christians have power look at this and I just started I just kept I just kept it in the back burner but then eventually I actually went on their their map met somebody um a lady named Sharon um who started praying for me um I you know I would text her call her every now and then but I was kind of like hesitant because I was like I don't want to deal with this this is religious because my version of Christianity was the Catholic Church you know my mother being Catholic at the time you know raising me in the Catholic church I I was just like man this ain't this ain't it there's no power it's just it's it's just religion you just go every day and you know you're just whatever it was it was boring so seeing this did you tell her did you say did you say like hey I'm a witch like this is who I am when you reached out to her did I'm a warlock did you tell her that straight up told her like hey I do witchcraft I believe in this I wear these beads I have this evil ey this Sage I was straight up and this woman was so like just compassionate and so confident that's what that's what um really like blew my mind was how confident she was and fearless how like you know this lady saying like oh you know it doesn't matter it's the name of Jesus let me pray for you you know and let me just like like man what like what type of power is this like this woman is saying she doesn't do rituals and I remember talking to her about all that like hey I do this and do that do you do anything like no you know I don't do any of that you know I don't do pray she just prayed in the name of Jesus and then I met another man a man of God you know um as he was walking his dog the first time I opened up a Bible bought it off Amazon opened it up before I even could read a page he stopped me you know walking his dog just hey what is that you know it's the B it's a it's the Bible he's like hey well you know I'm a I'm a teacher I'm a Bible I'm a Bible study you know a Bible a Bible teacher and um he sat down with me and read the you know the book of Romans a little bit and recommended me to read it when I told him about what I do too he just was like it's the name of Jesus go home and just start saying his name out loud and I was like how is this man so confident about saying Jesus's name how does that do anything like what ritual do I have to do how much it cost like where do I have to go like what because I was so used to that in witchcraft you always got to buy something do some type of ritual and then follow like this instructional manual to try to get to the you know the the goal that you want to attain but he was just simply saying use the name of Jesus the demons tremble use the name of Jesus and I'm just like man this guy's confident she's confident the the barber that I was um getting I got my haircut from um the my new Barber was so confident and would not listen to worldly rap I mean I was trying to recommend him um nipy hustle a guy that I used to listen to that I thought was mature like super spiritual and positive which he's not at all you know um I was trying to like you know hey man like recommended he's like man I don't listen into that it's Christian rap and so all these coincidental events and then the guy I met in the um in the liquor store his name is Richard you know he approached me and just wouldn't stop crying this man was like hey you have a you're you have a light on you there's angels with you God loves you so much man this man kept inviting me to his church for weeks and finally I was like all right I'm gonna go to this guy's church and I go to the guy's church and I see the barber my barber on the stage playing leading worship and I'm like freaking out like do you know him he's like I don't even know who that is he's our worship leader cuz it's a mega church it's a big church and I'm like man like this is my barber he's a worship leader he doesn't even know him what and I just was was already like shaking freaking out a little bit and then they started playing um Reckless love you know how he leaves the 99 for the one and man that song just wrecked me I just I felt the presence of God for the first time like just not dropped on my knees and was just crying and you know that's what led me to really go hard and start reading the Bible and when I you know reading the book of Romans I got I I got through I believe all the way to like chapter eight or nine I got I was I was I was reading it like with understanding even though it was in King James I was reading it and I would go and just you know go online and look up a different translation on the Blue Letter Bible app you know and I was really trying to learn and man once I I got to a certain point it just I just realized that Jesus Christ is the highest power like he's he's Lord he's I didn't say Lord you know or but I just knew he was the highest power the minute I realized like Jesus he's the one he's he's the one like I had this overwhelming feeling come over me it was like a light in the in the spirit a light came into my apartment hit me I mean like it was such a it was such a powerful presence it was it it the presence entered me now the Holy Spirit entered me and I knock I got knocked to the ground I started manifesting demons I literally started crying coughing throw up like I I didn't know what was going on I was just like blacked out like I was there but wasn't it was like it was crazy and I got up and I just knew and I was like man it's it's Jesus it wasn't here it wasn't head knowledge it wasn't it was it was my heart my heart changed I had like I had love I had I had peace now like it was like this is it this is what I've been seeking this is what I've been looking for this is it and I I mean I I remember I even spoke in tongues all that like I didn't know what was going on I just felt this overwhelming power this overwhelming love like I just wanted to tell everybody I was like this is it I called the lady Sharon told her what happened she was just rejoicing praising God I was just like what do I do so I'm speaking to all these Christians that I met like what do I do I have all these these altars and and all this witchcraft stuff what I do and they were like look you got to get rid of it you got to get rid of it I mean God was sending people left and right I remember right now it just came across my mind I remember even a Uber driver some random Uber driver I met he was a Christian talking to me about Jesus it's like God sent so many people in a short spir period of time when when he was like enough is enough it's time you know how the Bible says you can't come to the son unless the father you know draws draws you in it's like it was it was over like go like I was like now now now he's gonna encounter my son and that's when I got filled with the spirit so you got filled with the spirit it's interesting because right now in the church right there's a a debate about Deliverance Ministry and exorcism and everybody's got there's 30 different terms and everybody's talking about different things sometimes they're talking about the same things so you when you had this experience you were by yourself when the Holy Spirit entered you you met you know did you go through a Deliverance after that did you not was that the the Deliverance I'd love to hear your take that was so so Deliverance um I didn't know any of that I didn't know about the debates I didn't know about the like what's going on like you know I didn't I just I just got delivered and I knew I needed more Deliverance like I just cuz my mind it was the attacks were crazy and I knew it was internal and um I went to a Deliverance Minister after that um from a powerful Deliverance Ministry down in Fort Lauderdale inv Victor Ministries invictor Ministries and this man of God really you know he's a that's that's his ministry all Deliverance God's using him for that still to this day and man he just had me write like fill out a form of all the things I did all the Witchcraft and just generational stuff and and when we met up we did like a one-on-one um Deliverance um session and I'll never forget man he he started calling out demons and I was feeling things and you know more Deliverance I even I spit up blood I remember again I manifested demons again and they came out and I spit up and I and I looked into the garbage can and he was like hey look that's blood man that's blood and I freaked out man because I was like man that's really blood like this isn't just my throat you know like having a you know whatever like no it was blood and and man I felt more it was like every time I went through more Deliverance I felt more and more freedom like more peace like more just like man I was sleeping like a baby I didn't have to take pills or drink alcohol to sleep anymore like I I completely got delivered from pornography addiction that I had my entire life I mean really like never went back to porn by the grace of God like got delivered I used to be addicted you know watching porn three or four times a day like a lot of a lot of people out there a our dealing with that got completely delivered I mean I didn't want to fornicate with wom anymore I was just like I'm done like I don't want any of these girls even the girl I was dating she was pregnant with my kid my first child seven months pregnant I told her we can't even sleep in the same room I was Radical like I thank God for the people that God sent in my life at that time because they really gave me the right counsel they weren't you know like gummy bear about it they were like hey you can't sleep in the same bed what looks like Sin is Sin you cannot this is this isn't your girlfriend you're not boyfriend that's not how it is in the Kingdom you know it's it's courtship and you need a grow in Christ and all these things like they kept it real with me and and and I listened and I listened for the most part and um would you would you have said that you were possessed before you went through all this you know in light of everything you were doing y I definitely was I definitely was possessed um I felt I I mean I was hearing voices I was literally hearing voices um I mean I my friends like my friends that got saved some of them that got saved and even some of them that are still in the world when I have conversations with them now they're like man you've completely changed like remember you us to do this remember you used to talk and I'm just like man what was wrong with me like I was messed up and just to see the 180 and how I am now I know I was possessed like I used to believe that the things I was doing were right I used to believe like I was like I was in full on agreement like this is right abortion is right these girls got to get aborted I mean these girls got to get these babies aborted I would convince people about abortion convince people to get drunk to to to cheat on their wives like I was I was literally working for the devil and now now you're not only a Christian you are a pastor and so it's been four years since you've been a Christian and you're in Ministry now it's it's pretty incredible to me you know as we sort of round out to a close here it's one thing to come into Faith what was it that convinced you you had a calling to go into Ministry so I didn't even know what a calling was when I came to Christ um and got filled with the spirit I just wanted to go tell everybody about Jesus I just I just had a fire in me and I wanted to go tell everybody and this is around coid time and I just went telling everybody like hey this is what Jesus did for me he's God you know I did all this other stuff and none of it worked and this is this is the he's the one he's the highest power people were getting you know touched by the Holy Spirit crying in grocery stores and all that and I was evangelizing I didn't even know what evangelism was and that Ministry um the last Reformation with torb and sandard really kickstarted me and that's their whole um that's their vision is kickstarting people letting them know like you know like teaching them about their god-given author god-given Authority and and um man I just was like okay the Bible says I can lay hands on the sick and they'll be healed I can cast out demons like I got I got delivered from demons and then in Christ I got healed from a disease I had for nine years so I knew you know firsthand Deliverance is real healing is real so because of that so you had a healing you had a healing too yeah I had laryn larynx fenal reflux it's called it's called silent reflux LPR they say it's genetic um I had a hiatal hernia I had gotten four endoscopies in the military they couldn't do anything about it they just said hey you know you're going to be on Nexium um which is a protein pump inhibitor for the rest of your life which depletes your natural acid which is really bad for you which causes dementia and a whole bunch of other stuff and I'm like man I can't I knew what this could cause and I didn't want it I mean I was just like I you know even in the world I was trying all these natural remedies a lot I mean I tried everything man like I tried all these herbs and alkaline water and nothing worked Manuka honey I mean all these random stuff stuff that I would you know research on read it nothing worked but then when I came to Christ and he completely delivered me it never came back I mean I was able to eat things I couldn't eat before I mean I couldn't drink coffee at all if I drank even a sip of of caffeine all my food was coming up unless I took a Nexium and I was drinking coffee no issues I mean completely healed me like that they said the hiyo hernia I remember I got an endoscopy in Greece they they said the hio hernia was um was just genetics and you got to deal with it forever completely gone like everything is healed so I knew that healing was real I knew that Deliverance was real I knew that Christians even you know because I got more Deliverance could need deliverance from oppression you know and I was just like man I I I know it's real I want to do it so I would pray I would fast I would ask the Lord you know to use me use me use me I would go out and evangelize and eventually Deliverance Ministry started I was seeing so many people delivered I learned a lot from Dereck Prince um people like Dereck Prince Isaiah Salvador at the time he was that's when he first started dropping videos and I was learning so much and I was just out there in the field man I was in the streets literally house visits um downtowns like anywhere I went you know the Lord literally was sending people to me that needed deliverance and people were receptive they wanted it I mean I Word of Mouth spread I had no social media I wasn't posting on social media like that I was I was like against recording deliverances and healings I I was kind of religious like oh that stuff is they're just doing it for show and to be famous and for money and all that stuff but you know eventually God you know taught me some more you know taught me how you could shine your light through the um social media spaces but um yeah man and um it was just natural and then you know I just I got under some powerful men of God that you know fed me in the faith and um it just God shot me into it you know he shot me into it and we had a house Church um and it just started to grow and then my spiritual covering out in um Dallas Prayer Mountain Pastor Robert Summers was like hey you need to get ordained like your Bible study study has grown to a certain point that you're pastoring like you you know I I wasn't I was an evangelist I still am for a while of evangelist Evangel evangelism evangelism evangelism but now God was like hey you got a pastor you got to teach and the Lord really um the Holy Spirit taught me you know taught me quick FastTrack me and now we have a Ministry out here in um in Florida apka near Orlando and it's growing and it's a lot of Youth a lot of evangelists and man we're seeing people um transformed drug dealers giving up pounds of weed witches bringing all their Witchcraft and it's like a regular thing like every service people are
