I started with Cocaine then Partied hard until I saw Jesus and Hell - Codie's Testimony

I went loose I I I had freedom and I just went wild I began to party I began to drink I began to get addictions to women alcohol the very first drug I ever used was cocaine I kind of started right at the Finish Line it seemed like really it's like the devil was putting all these people right in front of me I begin to get an addiction to pills as well uh pain pills I begin to sell start selling cocaine pain pills all this stuff and I'm going down this dark path this led into a heroin addiction and I was selling this and got so bad to the point where I would OD I OD multiple times as I'm reaching down another time to try to get the fish I see sandals and I'm like in slow motion I'm looking up and there's a white robe and I'm looking up and then I'm face to face with Jesus and he reaches down and he grabs one of these fish and he's holding it he says Cody before you can lead you must follow me and he handed me the fish and I start seeing spirits I start seeing demons and then I'm scared to death and I'm just seeing all these spiders crawling around the walls and all this stuff and I'm like oh my gosh what is happening right now I was physically gone and I found myself in hell they had no faces they were skinny emaciated um gray and I knew it was people's Souls even though they didn't have faces but there was Millions upon Millions as far as the IE could see down this like magma River there was so many they were literally swimming over the top of each other's and I just reached up and I looked up I said Lord I need your help hi welcome to touching the afterlife today we have with us Cody and Cody has a powerful testimony how he was a soldier for the devil but then the Lord got him and he became a soldier for Christ so find out what happened with this prodal Cody welcome to the show today hi how are you good be here good I'm very happy to be here and um I hope we can reach some lost to have been in the position I've been in well let's hear it share with us what happened with you yeah so I grew up in in the church my dad was uh he was very very strict and um kind of rough on us on me and my brothers I'm the oldest of of eight kids um kind of his hers ours thing but we all lived in one house he was very very strict on us he didn't really uh show Christ through himself but he always drove us to go into the church and to go do things so um growing up by the time I was 17 18 um I had done three mission trips to Mexico everything we did revolved around the church we had good grades all that stuff but because of his strictness as soon as I turned 18 um and with there being so many kids in the house he's like all right you got to go find somewhere to live be on your own um on my birthday he actually said that so I that's exactly what I did about a month after my 18th birthday I went and moved to I'm from Iowa um I moved to the City I was from a small town but I moved to De Mo the city and uh it was a very very rough time in my life because I went loose I I I had freedom and I just went wild so I I began to party stuff I never really ever got to do at my dad's house when I lived there because he was so strict and so I began to party I began to drink I began to get addictions to women alcohol and I started using uh the very first drug I ever used was cocaine and I kind of started right at the Finish Line it seemed like really um so I started I started doing that and then I just I started meeting people that that it's like the devil was putting all these people right in front of me and because he knew what's on your life what's on my life he knows so he's going to put people in front of you to stop uh stop what God's trying to do with you and that's exactly what he did to me and so I met people that owned all the bars and all the clubs and and became friends with them even before I was 21 I I didn't even need a fake ID I got into every Club every bar doing drugs um and and sleeping with multiple women so that got a hold of me and it got a hold of me like strong it had a a grip on my life so I um was fast forward fast forward a few years um and I began to get an addiction to pills as well uh pain pills and pretty much anything I could get my hands on and so I began to sell start selling cocaine pain pills all this stuff and I'm going down this dark path and and as I was doing all this stuff I would start meeting more people more people that the devil put in front of me which led into things like crime like um stealing and hurting people so I could have money to continue the haveit because this led into a heroin addiction and I was selling this and it was a very very uh rough dark time and did a lot of things I'm not proud of um and hurt people emotionally physically all that stuff um and it something I'm here now and it's a testimony so I'm grateful that I made it through all those things U but it got so bad to the point where I would OD I've OD multiple times and I remember one specific time that I ODed um I woke up in the hospital and the PE I was in a car and they dropped me off at the hospital they took everything from my pockets they took my drugs they took money they took my cell phone and just dropped me off at the hospital thank God they even did that but I woke up with nurses over me they must have gave me that Naran stuff and I was freaking out like hey what are you guys doing I thought they were trying to rob me but I didn't realize you know from coming back to life that that they were saving my life that they were nurses and they're like it's okay it's okay um and I don't remember anything from being out at that point in time either but so instead of instead of uh getting myself back to health there and and taking advantage of their services or anything I just got right up and I checked myself out of the hospital immediately and I mean like I was just like dead pretty much so they were trying to get me to stop and I just didn't I I didn't listen I wanted to go back out get more stuff get my phone and get back in uh right back into it you think that would be a wakeup call and those type of things would uh maybe turn somebody's life around but when you're in it and you're so deep and you're so addicted your body gets so addicted to that stuff that it's so painful uh to not have it and to be without it it's like I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy to have those withdrawals and those things and that was something I battled with for a very long time um in that addiction with heroin and fentol and all that stuff and so um I tried quitting multiple times actually and it's something a lot of people that do this stuff they don't want to do it they just feel like they absolutely have no other choice so I came to terms with I'm going to do this forever and I and I talked myself into being okay with it and that I would just moderate how much I did so this didn't happen again and da d da d da and it's just a bunch of Lies I told myself because I thought I could never quit I tried um I tried Suboxone the medication assisted treatment Suboxone methodone um I had been in and out of jail and prison and all that stuff I'll touch on that in a minute and so one day I finally just thought back to uh you know raise a a child in the way they should go and then when they older they will not depart from it so thank God my dad did that stuff because I just one day was so sick of the life and lost everything and I was living in places that were not good to live in and I just reached up and I looked up I said Lord I need your help nothing else has worked I need your help within a month I was completely clean so hallelujah praise God to that because that was a lot of years and a lot of darkness and there how many years how many years Cody did you struggle with this before you reach that point yes so from when I was 18 until um I until like TW late 20s wow like 10 12 13 years somewhere around there a long time it was off and on for some of it until I got into the heroin and that stuff um and so I like I mentioned I went into jail and prison and all that stuff and this is near um the end of it for some reason when I got in prison I was there for a nonviolent crime it was a twoyear sentence um which I did a year of in Iowa you're allowed to do a certain amount and get out on parole probation or whatever and so that's what I did but while I was there all I did was read the Bible work out and pray and I always carried a Bible around with me I had no problems with anybody in the jail they all or in the prison they all saw me carrying this Bible and everybody left me alone but the crazy thing is there was such a move of God in that prison there was men so hungry for the word and for the Lord that I seen some crazy Holy Spirit things there that I you sometimes don't even see outside of the prison walls so it was pretty good it was a good time for if I had to be there that was the good that was the right place you know what I mean it was it was good um and that's the first time I stood up in front of about a hundred people and gave my testimony and the first time I preached in front of some people uh but me being very hard-headed I got out and I started doing the same stuff eventually um I tried to stay away from the the heroin when I just went to Pills and all the other stuff weed mostly a lot of weed and drinking and all that stuff um and then eventually I'm GNA there's so much I I have to skip some stuff or else we'd be here all day but eventually I got to a place where I was only drinking and only going to the bars and sleeping with women which that's still as bad but for where I came from that's like a miracle in itself and so I was going to church as well um and my pastor of course he didn't know that I was doing all the other things that I was drinking and smoking weed and sleeping around and he asked me one day um Cody would you like to be like my assistant and help me and I I told him man I'm gonna have to pray about this and think about it because I knew in my heart what I was still doing outside of the church was not it was not for God it was not a good representation um and throughout my whole up until I actually really get saved I never really knew Jesus I I knew he was real and I believed in him but I didn't have a relationship with him and I didn't really know him for the longest time but because of my dad I kept going to church and I kept uh I stayed on the fence but the fence is owned by the devil to be honest so I told my pastor I was like I gotta pray about this and think about it I had one week left to do in jail in County Jail from all the other stuff that I done I I went ended up having to go back to prison and finish my sentence and all that stuff so I had to finish my probation so in order to finish it they agreed that I would just go spend one more week in County Jail um and luckily I was clean I didn't have to go through withdrawals or any of that stuff um so I decided I'm G to spend that time with the Lord and I'm G to pray and seek him so I I did and I prayed about what my pastor had asked me and I was like Lord I'm I'm doing all these things he asked me to do this to assist him and I was just like I don't know what I should do or if I can get myself to do it and I prayed that prayer and this was the first night in the jail that night I went to sleep and he answered me that night he gave me a dream and I was in this huge warehouse and there was a a like a little stream going zigzagging throughout the warehouse and the warehouse was so big I couldn't see from wall to wall they're so so huge but there was people with sackcloth um like little families and stuff like all around little spots around the the stream and there was fish in this stream like trout brown trout rainbow trout and stuff like that so I am a sportsman in real life I I like to fish and hunt and all those things and I'm athletic and quick and I thought I would reach down and snag one of these fish and I kept trying and kept trying I could not get the fish and I was getting upset and as I'm reaching down another time to try to get the fish I see sandals and I'm like in slow motion I'm looking up and there's a white robe and I'm looking up and then I'm face to face with Jesus and he reaches down so gently and he grabs one of these fish and he's holding it he says Cody before you can lead you must follow me and he handed me the fish and I woke up you think that that would be a place where it would be a turning point of somebody's life and they're like oh my gosh I just seen Jesus he told me to follow him and all this all that stuff and so it really hit me hard and and I just I just am so hard-headed this whole testimony I have had the Lord chase me and I just am so hardheaded and thank God that he did that he kept pursuing because um I shouldn't even be alive I shouldn't be here so yeah with that said so I I didn't surrender I finished out the oh no I forgot something actually so a couple days go by and I was praying again and the Lord this is still in the jail and and I went to the Lord and asked him a question and I'm not going to repeat it for my own sake and it's just an intimate moment I finally started to have a little intimacy with the Lord I asked him a question and I was kind of like making a deal with him a little bit like Lord if you allow this then I will do this and so he said the going to be um Warfare if you're going to do this it's going to be crazy and I said Lord what kind of warfare and so he began instantly to show me I was laying in my little cot thing my bed and for hours I was having visions this is like the first like visions and seeing in the spirit that I ever encountered and I'm seeing visions of all these demons and principalities and all the spiritual warfare and all this stuff for hours and just it kept going on until I gave him my answer and it was no joke six seven eight hour I mean it was hours and I'm laying in in this bed just seeing all this stuff like a movie and like it like I like it was real life and I'm I didn't know exactly what was happening but at the same time I did that's hard to explain so I seeing all this evil and all these demons and all this stuff it hit me finally I was like wait a second if Jesus is with me then none of this stuff matters he wins in the end I know I know the end and I know he wins I said Lord Okay I accept I will do this I would do this thing and the vision stopped that moment little did I know he didn't give me a lot of instruction after that I get out I finish that I'm off probation I'm good little did I know that that would um start it would spark my gift to see in the spirit realm and this is where things take a turn in my life for crazy and I start seeing spirits I start seeing demons and the devil he man I hate him he he used this this gift of God God gave me to attack and he just threw devil after demon after principality after witch after warlock all this stuff at me and I can see it now and I didn't know that this was a gift from God yet and I'm seeing all this intense spiritual warfare around me I would see angels I would and I would see them fighting demons um but I'd seen way more demons and that's because the devil was using this um and God allowed it he's I guess it was a test it was to strengthen me um and it it brought me to where I am now and who I am now so I'm thankful for it but at the time it was very hard and so I get out I get a job um I'm starting to get in really good physical shape and I'm starting to uh calm down all the partying and all that stuff really all I was doing is just like smoking weed and working but I loved the Lord and I thought at the time oh it's okay to smoke weed God made it isn't that's the the big lie about weed smoking but God also created poison ivy if I smoked that that probably wouldn't end up so good for me um but it enters you into the spirit realm illegally and that's something the Holy Spirit needs to take you into so I I um I move away from my hometown I was staying with my mom at the time and all that CU I'm just fresh out of jail and prison and all this and I I meet a girl uh I kind of went to school with her but I didn't really know her and she lived about 30 minutes away I meet her we start dating and uh I move in with her and things start getting really crazy there it starts getting bad um she was not of the Lord she didn't know Jesus at all she in fact was hiding an addiction from me the whole time it took me forever to figure out she was using fentol patches and I was so upset when I found out because I was clean from that stuff and she she knew you know that that was something I struggled with um but thank God I didn't get back into it there but this is where the Lord started really opening my eyes in the spirit realm the devil tacked even more and I start seeing crazy battles in my living room of uh angels and demons and I and they would be like fighting and of course the Angels always won but the demons just seemed like there was a portal in this apartment like and I felt like it was behind my fridge and I starting to think like I'm going crazy like I didn't know still it was a gift I'm like I am going absolutely nuts and it was it was I thought it was driving me mad like for real so I started thinking I need to go get an MRI or cat skan or whatever it is and and get checked out I need to go see somebody um and so one night that one of those nights I was laying in bed next to her she was asleep on the bed and there's a she was asleep here and then there's a window right above the bed and I am I have the lamp on next to us and I'm curled up and like with my knees in my hands and I'm curled up and I am seeing these spiders and there're spiders from this big to like huge spiders and they're everywhere in this room and I'm scared to death and I'm just seeing all these spiders crawling around the walls and all this stuff and I'm like oh my gosh what is happening right now I have to go to the hospital tomorrow in the morning I'm going to go make an appointment I got to get checked out I'm losing my mind and the Lord heard my cry and I seen this Spirit come in through like the window area above her and I don't know the Lord knew that this would be confirmation for me I guess and I saw this thing come in and it was going like this and then it went right into her leg and no kidding the moment that happened she like jumps in her sleep and I'm like oh man this is real this is actually real I knew then it was real and uh I finally got some peace over it that night because and I finally was able to go to sleep because I started realizing oh my gosh this is actually real and the Lord just gave me a supernatural piece over it instead of fear he allowed me to get rest and and he started revealing to me that this is a gift you have to learn how to use it how to deal with it and what it's for and he revealed that stuff to me so a little bit of time goes by um and I'm still in this house in this apartment once I realized that it was actually a gift and from the Lord I didn't go to the hospital I didn't go get checked out I didn't need to I Knew in my heart that this was a gift so some time goes by and I am sitting on the couch alone she was at work and um and I'm sitting on the couch and I decided to pray and I'm like Lord I have trouble loving people I I my heart was so hardened from all the drugs and the crime and everything that i' done I I have trouble loving people I was hardening I was like Lord help me to love People Like Jesus Does everybody and that moment he answered my prayer he he seems to keep doing this instantly for me for some reason at this time in my life and he answered that prayer and it was like I left my body completely like this wasn't a vision like before like a movie or in a screen or anything like that this was like my I was physically gone and I found myself in hell and I'm standing I'm in in hell I'm standing on this rock cliff type thing I guess you could say it's just all rock and it's the lighting is very bad obviously it's supposed to be dark in hell but he's allowing me to see it's like Jesus took me and he's allowing me to see what's going on and I see this very wide very long river it wasn't quite fire but it was like a magma lava or something and there's souls in it um they had no face say they were skinny emaciated um gray and I knew it was people's Souls even though they didn't have faces but there was Millions upon Millions as far as the eye could see down this like magma River um and they were so close together there was so many they were literally swimming over the top of each other shoulder toosh shoulder and the screams that I could hear were so high pitched and so many the only thing I've ever been able to find that sounds anywhere near it um on this Earth is if you look up that the hole to hell um whether that's real or not I don't know I I believe it is because the sounds that were on that recording where they stuck the microphone down in a hole the Russians dug um and it went way down like eight miles or so they thought they found Hell because they started hearing stuff and they put a a super um heat repelling microphone or whatever you want to call it and and they recorded uh eight seconds I believe it was of Screams and just you hear that screaming and it's exactly what I heard but I heard it in high definition and then their microphone melted I believe that's the story um looked that up at some point U and that's close to what I heard only I heard high definition much louder much more and I'm seeing all these things and I'm asking myself Lord why don't these people have faces and he didn't answer me right then and I'm seeing these people looking for a way out they're crying they're crawling they're screaming uh and it was just I don't know how long I was there but I'm seeing that I didn't feel pain I didn't feel heat nothing like that it was just like I was just watching I was observing and finally I come back to my body and I just cry I I weep I cry because he answered my prayer exactly and he allow me to feel this was the only thing I could feel he allowed me to feel the love that he had for each person that didn't accept him and went to hell and that's all I could feel and it tore me up and it still makes me a little emotional now uh I could still hear the screams now I I still see it like it was yesterday like it just happened and I be I just sat on the couch for three four hours and I cried and I cried because I felt that love for those people and it's like all those Souls it was so painful in your heart I know how it Grieves him now um when somebody is lost and perishes just one and there was Millions it was terrible I just want to add yeah can I add something here um I don't know if you've seen Lester sumerall a man of Faith series but it reminds me of him that's exactly what happened to him he didn't ask for the love of people but God showed him people going to hell and his life completely turned around to preach the gospel so that people would know him so they wouldn't have to go there and that's what he did for you he broke Your Heart Right and he answered that prayer I think it's interesting he answered it through showing you hell yeah and to be honest after so much this was years ago like I don't know six five years ago probably um I I don't want to go back again to experience again but all that time that between then and now it has doled that love still uh and it's something like you really have to work on and I do love people way more than I did way more than I ever did I'm not as Harden my my my heart has been softened but I noticed and I've asked the Lord about this and I'm sure he'll answer me at some point but like why is this love still seem to be fading and I think it's due to the fact if you just look around at all the evil in this world and all the people that are so evil and the devil I know the the devil uses them when we wor not against flesh and blood but boy is it hard and you see all these evil things and it just dos it it dos it it's hard in these in I believe that in times I I think it's hard so I'm still in this apartment still with this girl um and I I don't really have wisdom in the spirit realm yet I'm gaining it I'm starting to I'm starting to I still see everything's starting to kick off for me in my walk with the Lord and the crazy thing is I haven't fully surrendered to him yet still uh I'm still smoking and and every once in a while I would drink um but I still haven't fully surrendered to him yet and he's showing me all these things and because of my ignorance in the spirit realm I was I met this girl one time at a party in De Mo and she for some reason few years later gets a hold of me and I know she was a witch okay she's a witch straight up witch and I'm I'm telling her I'm seeing all these spirits and all this stuff and to my ignorance she told me to burn Sage open the windows and they'll leave and I I didn't know Sage was not that was still witchcraft I didn't know and so I did it and I opened the window I had a cat and this cat was so sat up on like the back of the couch and right next to the window would have been behind me and and I burned it I opened the window and the cat's going watching all these things Le so I'm like I thought this was legit but it made it worse let's just say it took about two three days and it was like 100 fold uh just it's going crazy so um eventually I leave the girl um and I go to stay with a friend another 35 minutes away from there and uh everything just seemed to be about like I like I put my relationship with the Lord seeking him intimately on pause how could how could I have done that after I've seen him face to face he speaks to me he's shown these things in the spirit realm I got taken in the spirit realm to hell how could I be so hard-headed and stubborn but I was and looking back on it it's like wow dummy but so I I just kind of put the things on pause for a little bit I'd still talk to him here and there but I I started Living with these two buddies of mine we're just smoking and having fun we and that's what it was for a month or two and I meet another girl and eventually I move in with her and uh this is right before CV uh before the bug came and um I start getting back into selling marijuana and I went harder selling it than I ever had in my life before and I was making money fast nobody knew me no cops knew me I I just went through my friends friends um and was selling to all them and uh you know I got the best stuff in town and blah blah blah so I took that town over and it was weird because I would see cops drive by my house and look uh while I was like Mowing and stuff and they it's like I was invisible they never looked at me they never questioned any nothing and nothing ever happened but I was moving weight and so I don't know I thought I was invincible I guess I don't know but I think it was the Lord just protecting me because he had plans for me so um I'm doing that and the the lockdowns happen I'll just say that and I'm still um smoking and all that of course and and the lockdowns happened and I start seeing on the news they're shutting down churches and that gave me like a righteous anger like indignation in my spirit and I'm like no this ain't happening um we're gonna have church so I turned my home into a a house church at that time even though I was all I was doing was smoking and selling weed and of course everybody that came to my house church I I stayed within the limits of the 10 people that they put uh they put those limits on on Gatherings so I did that actually and I had the max 10 people um and we would all have church and smoke and to my ignorance of the spirit realm uh we're doing something that is not of the Lord that's opening us to to spirits of addiction to Spirits it's that opens you up it's an Open Door in your life so if you smoke I from experience I can tell you um you need to quit this it's not a good thing it's not okay it doesn't lead to life um so I open this church and I begin to start getting back into my relationship with the Lord even though I'm doing those things um and he starts waking me up I found this man that preaches online he's like the first person to ever really start preaching online as like an internet preacher type thing his name is Marcus Rogers whether you like him or hate him or not God used him uh for me and I seen what he was doing and Preaching Online and I'm like man I want to do this I want to do what he's doing I want to seek the Lord like this I want to preach the gospel I I think I want to do this and the funny thing is growing up my whole life I always would say I will never become a preacher I'm never gonna become a preacher and now I've preached in churches and online and all this stuff it's funny what the Lord does but I see Marcus and it gives me a hunger for him so I do begin to slow down on the things that I'm doing illegal things and I began focusing on making videos and I I would write them down on notepads and I would pray and like Lord what do you want me to talk about I've used what wisdom I had and the things that he would give me and I think the very first thing because of the lockdowns the very first thing I ever preached on was hidden agendas and the devil's hidden agenda and if you can make the connection of why I came up with that um I won't say it I don't want to get the channel strikes so I came up with that and I and I remember I'm sitting here holding this and I'm preaching on this and I'm like shaking like a leaf I was so nervous and I was just shaking trying to get this out it didn't you couldn't see the shakes so bad on the on the video but um I I wouldn't get a lot of views uh and I kept this going on for a little while until one day um after the the lockdowns let up um I decide it's my birthday actually it was my birthday and I decided I'm gon to go visit my daughter in Knoxville Iowa that's where I'm where I grew up that's where she lived um and I decided I'm going to go visit her and visit my mother because it's my birthday so I went I went to Knoxville and lo and behold as I'm there this girl she robbed me she took all my stuff kept what she wanted took all my stuff and brought it an hour away to Knoxville and dropped it off had a cop with her so I wouldn't freak out or anything and dropped all this stuff off on my birthday to my mom's house and the house I was paying the bills for and everything in it I pretty much paid for well I had a safe and she did bring it she did bring it but I couldn't open it in front of the cops that were there and that might have been why she actually brought the cops now that I think about it but I couldn't open it because uh there was obviously marijuana in there I had cash a lot of cash and uh uh like collectible dollars and $20 bills and coins and things like that that I thought were cool that I acquired from people selling and so that once the cop finally leaves I open it and there was nothing in there absolutely nothing but a stench and luckily I had grabbed like $3500 because it was my birthday in cash and I had that in my pocket so I wasn't completely out but she got about 60 Grand from me all in one whack and I had no I'm all of a sudden homeless I almost all my money's gone all my product is gone and this is like a little wakeup call for me um so I decided since the everything's just opened up Florida was just opening up that was the place that that opened up first so I went to a hotel I didn't want to bother my mom I think I stayed there a night or two and then I went to a hotel I like I'm gonna get out of here I'm Gonna Leave um and my options there wasn't a lot so I just went to the airport I stayed at a hotel then I went to the airport got a hotel again and I decided I'm going to just pick a place and go and so I did I picked Clearwater Beach Florida and I'd never been to Florida before I was like why not let's go and I get there and it was it was really it was really crazy how the Lord just has been with me this whole time um I'm there and I'm I'm just doing the same things I'm always doing I had a few drinks and I'm smoking and so I I met this this dude and I start beginning to hang out with him because I went alone he was Alone um from somewhere else Georgia I believe and and we were there hanging out and uh I thought I had this speaker this little speaker that I would car carry around on the beach with me and listen to music and I thought he stole it because I brought him up to my room showed him you know all this stuff and I thought he stole it by the time I wasn't with him anymore I'm like man that dude he stole my speaker I looked everywhere for it through my bag multiple times all throughout the hotel room and I couldn't find it so I I decided I'm just going to go buy another one I still had cash and I went to the main strip where uh the torsus go and of course the place that would have was out completely so I had to go off the beaten path around this corner and to this Walgreens just to get another speaker and I see these men outside and they're holding signs about Jesus and I decided I'm gonna go pray with these guys you know like why wouldn't I it's crazy I'm seeing this here out of off the beaten path there's a reason so I went prayed with him well this guy one of them was a veteran and he had the gift of Prophecy and I didn't know much about prophecy at the time but I figured it out uh he began to tell me things about my life uh that no one else could know especially in a place I've never been and he began to prophesy things into my life and one of the main things he told me um was what the Lord had for my life and that what I would be doing for him stuff like that which is start it's beginning to come to pass now and he also told me the Lord has a wife for you but the devil has somebody very dark and bad for you so you need to uh have discernment you need to stay away from that one because the devil's going to send you somebody first well some time goes on I leave Florida I left that guy of course and we prayed and all that stuff but he's that's the main things he told me I left Florida I end up going to this place in ch um not Chicago in Illinois I can't remember what the name of it was and I stayed on this farm with a friend all I did was pray I had nobody this was out in the middle of nowhere all I did was pray and all I did was read my Bible I I slowed way down smoking I'm not selling anything I was just me and this dude and he's a farmer and I had nothing and nobody and this is where I start figuring out the walk with the Lord speaking in tongues all that stuff I had no clue about any of those things and I begin to have visions I begin to see things that I've never seen before the Lord is actually I've heard his voice audibly in this time and I believe it's because I had nothing to distract me absolutely nothing I focused on him and I walk with him fully and I start to hear his voice and I start to I've heard him audibly a few times I start to see angels and I'm starting to have visions I was having visions of the end times and The Four Horsemen and like these amazing beautiful visions and things that I've never experienced before because of that time and dedication and that drive and hunger for the Lord and this is where I begin to have intimacy with him and I'm talking to this guy back in Iowa who's older than me and and end up being like a father spiritual father type figure a mentor to me and I'm talking to him over the phone da d da and he's like I I'm at this men's house that I'm running I want you to come and and and help me and I'm thinking all right well this might be a good deal um and so I began doing the videos before I left there I was still doing more videos I was getting I would go live and have thousands of people watching me because of the hunger I had for the Lord I know that's what it was and I went from like nobody watching my stuff to going live and having thousands of people tune in while I'm live and they get tens tens of thousands of views by the end of it and um this is where people started getting um Shadow beliefs and things and so after a while that began to happen and it just like started to fizzle out and I don't know why I think the Lord is also putting me away he was hiding me for for a certain time so I decided to go out into the cornfield while I'm out there one day and I didn't really know I the guy that I was talking to the the mentor guy on the phone he was telling me about speaking in tongues and all this stuff uh and I didn't know really what it was so I was like okay in faith I went out into this cornfield and I would just get on my knees pray and I would try to speak in tongues I didn't I wasn't baptized in the Holy Spirit in fire yet but I would try to do this and I'm just doing it in faith and that went on for a couple weeks and then finally um one of my best friends in the world his name is Johnny um he's passed now Lord rest his soul but um he was a warlock and he was starting to get very interested into the Lord and he knew what he was doing he was a Freemason in a warlock and he knew what he was doing was not right he had the biggest heart of any man I've ever met so soft of a heart and but he was on the wrong path and he began to call me and asked me questions I didn't really know him at the time but he became my best friend and I brought him to the Lord and He G he gave all that stuff up and I I just said hey man come get me let's go do this thing with um The MENTOR guy Kurt his name is Kurt and I said let's go do this thing with Kurt and he's like all right so he drove and came and picked me up and we went all the way back to Iowa and it was a great ride it was fun we we got to know each other very well we prayed a lot we had it it was great the Lord is with us um and we worshiped all that stuff we go to this men's house and now I am fully in for the Lord and I have people around me which is so important there's other men around me that love the Lord and they also had past this men's house houses for people with like a pass of addiction I came out of prison and jail and all this stuff and so I'm helping with that Johnny's helping with that and Kurt was the one of the ones that helps run it and so I've got some boys with me and I began to go out and evangelize and I didn't know anything about casting out demons ever but I seen a guy with horns on his head um in the Physical Realm he had these horns tattooed on his his head and he was drunk um downtown in De Mo and I heard the Lord say cast this demon out of this man I didn't know nothing about it I knew Jesus did it I knew Jesus did it I was like man there's something in you I can see it do you want me to get it out of you he began to cry's like please get it out of me get it out of me so I put my hand on him I commanded this thing out and it was boom he was like you know did some weird stuff with his body and then it was gone and I took some pictures with him before that and I took some pictures with him after that and no kidding his eyes completely changed he sobered up and in the picture I took after that the horns were gone they were still on his head physically the tattoo was still there in in the physical but in the picture after he just received the Lord in Deliverance the horns were gone they were not in the picture you couldn't see them it was absolutely crazy I hope I still have that picture somewhere that was my first encounter with Deliverance um casting out demons which is a very real thing the man came to the Lord I Hope pray he he he used to he went to actual Bible school before he ever got the horns and all that stuff I remember asking him and he lost his way another prodal I I hope he's I hope he's still prodical this was still a few years ago so I I got to experience that I started seeing Angels following me and Johnny everywhere we went we would see angels and he couldn't quite see him as much as me but we would see these these angels um and we' go help the homeless and we would see this stuff and it just was great I was like man I finally have found what I've been looking for in my life the whole time I felt fulfilled except for one thing I wanted I still wanted that wife I still wanted the wife and I would always keep in the back of my mind um the thing that got prophesied over me and I should have listened a little closer so some time starts to go on and looking for the wife and I ended up getting out of the men's house and all this all this stuff I got an apartment with my mentor Kur and and we're just seeking the Lord we're doing our thing but I met this woman who was the witch the one that had actually uh text me before and told me about the um sage and all that it was her and I started talking to her and she's acting like she wants to come to the Lord so of course I'm like I'm gonna bring her to the Lord of course I'm going to do this and so one day I finally go to her house to pray for her and stupid don't ever go to an opposite sex house by yourself don't ever do that U that is not a good idea um always bring somebody with you but I did this and I thought I was strong enough and all this stuff but that time it was fine she gave her life to the Lord and the way she did it um was weird and I it bothered me and man I I'm just now remembering too the lord gave me a vision while I was at her house and I ignored it um I'll get into that in a second but she wanted to be alone she like wanted me and the other room to give her life to the Lord because she felt nervous she said so I just like okay I went in the other room and she like got down on her hands and knees and I get I thought she did it I thought she did because she started throwing all of her stuff away all this witchcraft stuff where I thought and I'm as she's outside throwing it in the trash I'm sitting on the bed uh facing the wall and I'm just waiting for her and I had this vision and I see this Fierce lion that looked like scar from The Lion King not like a mu type this was a a a lion seeking to devour this was not a good lion and I seen it and this is so crazy I will I won't ever forget this I'm glad the Lord brought it to me now but this lion was prowling on me and it went and it pounced and as soon as it pounced from like the direction where the door was she opens the door and comes in like the lion like turned into her face and it pounced at me and I'm and that's pretty obvious what the Lord's trying to tell you right there but I didn't listen I'm hard-headed I always have been so I didn't listen and we start dating eventually I thought she gave her life to the Lord she so ficked it I meet her mom and her sisters and they're witches and I'm like her mom couldn't even look me in the eyes she couldn't she I had the holy spirit in me I U which I need to tell you how that happened I'll get to that next but her mom couldn't look at me they were evil pure pure evil witches and they've done things that she eventually told me that are so dark so evil um but I thought she gave her life to the Lord so I started dating her anyway um backtrack a little bit uh I was at with Johnny and Kurt and we were at this conference little thing or this um Holy Spirit meeting um and I had been dealing with problems in my stomach I I didn't know if it was like a cancer or what but no doctors couldn't really figure it out I was always in pain I always had stomach issues um and around this time and we went to this thing and I just laid on the floor it was just some people prophesying and worship and stuff I laid on the floor in the back the entire time trying to pray trying to pray in tongues I had no idea but after like an hour and a half or so I had this sensation of extreme heat and uh it was like the glory of God and extreme heat and all this stuff from my back and which was crazy because I got up finally and I one of my other friends that was there from this mint's house could see in the spirit as well and he was everybody was all about the Lord it was awesome and when you're just all about the Lord you can see and experience more Supernatural things than ever before but you got to commit and we were and so I got up and this dude he's like bro you had an angel standing over you with a sword of fire and he pile drived it through your back while you were laying on the floor and I said dude I know the exact moment you were talking about and that I believe and I'm I'm positive is when I got baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire and yeah life started changing um for sure um and I was healed I was completely healed of the stomach Thing I Never Had to go to the doctor again I never had a problem since I was healed instantly glory to God what a story okay so this happened and then what happened with this counterfeit okay so yeah this is obviously if you haven't figured it out this is the woman that the man prophesied to me about um I thank God he warned me and it stayed in the back of my mind the whole time but I didn't want to believe it because I'm hard-headed I remember having this vibration and this noise in my body when I was at my apartment and it rang like a bell ding right through my body and in my head and I've never felt this experience before in my life I've never it was crazy and it it got stronger stronger as before I went to her house that day and it got stronger and stronger and when I got to her house it was like my whole entire body was like vibrating and it was like kind of freaky but it felt good at the same time if you know what I mean and I and it was like she had done something some type of voodoo and a spell on me I know looking back now that's what it was at the time I was just like oh my gosh what if this is like the Lord telling me da d da this is whatever I knew in the back of my mind the entire time that this is the one the guy was talking about I knew and I didn't listen to it I didn't listen to The Vision I didn't listen to anything and at the same time I'm baptized in the Holy Spirit now and all that stuff and the attacks came I started seeing more demons in the spirit realm and crazy things than I ever seen any time past and there's black cats in the spear walking around my house which I believe now is and she actually believed as well that it was her mother astral projecting to spy on us um it probably was but it was crazy and I me and Johnny would go hang out with her and her friend and we went out to uh this place in the woods and a few Towns over and it's like a park but there's a lot of woods around and stuff and apparently this is where they did all their Witchcraft and uh we went there a few times but one night we went there and me and and there was this craziest one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life um there was this person out there who had shapes shifted into this like batlike creature and it still had like human legs dangling underneath of it and it was about this big and it started flying above our heads we saw a shape shifter a real life person that was doing sorcery and shapes shifted and I've heard since then this is a a a normal thing in like African and uh Hispanic countries areas um but I didn't know anything about it and I looked at Johnny I'm like dude what was that and he's like man we got to get out of here right now so we did we left so I started figuring out the longer time went on that this woman was not okay she took me out to that place the same place in the daytime and the Holy Spirit wanted to show me the truth and I went out we were walking through this path in the woods just me and her and the Holy Spirit said go off the path to the right and go over to this place and break Witchcraft and uh cast any unclean spirits to the abyss or whatever just cast Spirits out of the area and so I was like okay I'm hearing this inside of me I went over there I'm like the Lord I told her the Lord is telling me to stop right here and to get rid of unclean spirits and she said she got her eyes got really big and she said this is exactly where some people she didn't say her but I'm not um uh some people had hung a bunch of sacrificed rabbits and other small animals in trees by ropes in this exact area and did a witchcraft uh Seance ritual there she didn't say it was her but I'm pretty sure it was her um and her friends and she said this is the exact area and so it's like wow I know I'm heing the Lord correctly than if he asked me to go here and pray against this stuff right in front of her and he keeps giving her visions and dreams of me helping people get saved and helping her get saved and she's in darkness in the dream um and I'm leading a bunch of people of to Christ in a dream and everything on fire and the only way um she would be able to be saved is if she listened to what I had to say and followed the Lord and it never happened but he was warning her he had such Mercy um and she telling me about these visions and these dreams and I'm probably butchering some of it but he would warn her to leave what she was doing her lie her witchcraft eventually she cheated on me okay and it it it broke me because of whatever love spell I was under I don't know why I was even ever with her other than it had to have been some sort of Witchcraft and my ignorance and blindness and desire for a wife but she ended up cheating on me the best thing that could have ever happened to me would have broke me for like two days and then I started feeling like oh maybe I didn't really like her anymore like the the the spell is lifted or whatever it was but I know for sure the Lord had put so much guilt into her heart for what she was doing because it was the day before we were gonna sign a marriage certificate to be married the day before she cheated she left and told me she was cheating on me the day before she had so much guilt and the Lord had told her uh she couldn't do this and it she didn't she didn't do it she told the truth so it was crazy thank God because then we get into some some good things now and I noticed that when we are filled up with the Holy Spirit and with fire like you were that you you truly see the spiritual battle for your soul but ultimately God had you and he had you on the right path and he wasn't going to let you get off of it this time so yes go into now what happens okay yeah so that is a good word for somebody actually it really is um because I know I'm not the only one that can see in the spirit realm and I know I'm not the only one that's dealt with these things in witchcraft it's everywhere so please I hope if if you have something similar in your life that that um that permeates with what I'm saying and if it sits with you please follow it learn from my mistakes and not don't go make them on your own don't be hard-headed so follow the lord it will save you heartache and pain I um I finally start get coming back from like this hurt and this pain of leaving her and all this stuff um I just start to begin to seek the Lord harder because I I I backed away a little bit from all the stuff I was seeing which I should have went in closer with her but all the stuff that I was seeing and everything and all the Witchcraft and spells and attacks and demons and all the stuff that I was under um and trying to be a Christian around um it did have an effect on me and I did excuse me I did start backing away from the Lord a little bit I did but I never ever would would um say I don't believe in him I never ever would uh renounce him anything like that I never did I backed away a little bit um and I focused on this evil uh relationship so after we finally break up um I don't remember how long we were even together but I start getting back in with the Lord and I start uh going to different churches and different groups and different meetings and I and and I'm uh preaching the gospel on the on the YouTube and Facebook um and and I go and try to get people saved and I'm doing the things again and I'm like I can breathe and I got a new job I'm making great great money and everything was going really well um and then finally uh this is where I really like after that was finally the wakeup call that I needed because of all the things I went through um and all the things I experienced not only before her but with her um that I I needed that because I was so stubborn and hopefully somebody else isn't going to be that stubborn and can listen but I needed that I guess I guess I wish I didn't I wish I didn't have to go through that but now that I've done it I can help people that have been through or is currently going through those things um Witchcraft and relationships like that drugs and alcohol abuse sexual abuse all that stuff because of all the things I have been through because of all the things any of you have been through you can use that as a testimony and ways to to preach the gospel to other people and it's it's an amazing thing whe so I don't I can't say I regret it I can't say I regret any of it because it's become my testimony um so that mixed with the word of the Lord is how we get souls and that's what we need to focus on so I finally am um I'm get closer to the end I'm submitted I'm submitted finally at this point finally I'm submitted to the Lord and I start okay here you go you exactly he's like he's like finally you did it and so things start actually I start receiving blessings and the the blessing that I received man that man was so on point with that prophecy see but I um met my wife I I had been doing the ministry on Facebook a lot and um I would always send people random verses people I don't even know I just had thousands of friends I think I was maxed out at that time and I send random verses to I tried to do a 100 people a day most of them I didn't know and I sent one to her but I I thought she was cute my wife now and and so I sent an extra little message I can't remember exactly what I said hey how you doing or whatever she lived about two hours away from from uh from me at that time yeah about two hours and so he started talking that sparked a conversation and because she said this is what how crazy the Lord is so she said I just got done praying for you I'm like what she's like I can't believe you sent me this message I just got done praying for you and we had never talked never met nothing before that and I'm like wow that's crazy so that Sparks this uh interest in both of us and we began talking and um we finally I don't remember how long it was before she came down uh to De Moine to meet me but I asked her out she said yes although she is very shy and very like conservative girl woman that she she was so nervous she told me and I could tell she was but she was so nervous she almost didn't come but she loved the Lord thank God she loved the Lord and was real this time um and so she came down and we hit it off and we went out to eat and movies and just the regular old thing that you do is Christian couples you know uh on the first date and it was great we got to know each other and we had so many confirmations let me tell you what Julie we had so many confirmations about marriage so fast and it was prophesied over us at this house church and other churches we would go to and it's like everywhere we went people would call us out and prophesy over us out and they would like not prophesy over anybody else at churches all the stuff and they would call us out or uh even if I was just alone it would happen to me all the time it still kind of does to this day it happens to us all the time um and it's amazing that that's how you know you're in the will of the Lord as well absolutely you will know that you know that you know when it's the right person when it's the right time God will make it very clear it's when we try to do it on our own that things don't they mess up or if we force it to happen it's not going to be good so I love that yes gives us confirmation so tell us you have been married now how long yeah so we knew each other for two months after all that confirmation we're like we know we've had Visions we had dreams we had prophecy we had confirmations it's like let's just do this let's just get married so we did and we had this little wedding um we didn't invite any of our family we had the people from our house Church uh and the preacher that was our buddy at the time and all it's just the group of our church people came to our wedding both of our parents parents were upset with us but we didn't even tell them we just got married and it ended up being the best thing that I've ever done we've been married now going on uh three years uh May 8th May 8th would be three years wow and it's been amazing um and we've grown together and it was definitely of the Lord there's been challenges but we have a baby together now um and she had kids I had kids and you know yours mine ours thing but we did have a baby together a little girl she is uh right after we got married not too long she's going to be two here in July um so and I've got everything I ever wanted and ever asked for but I took the hardest possible path that I could have taken to get this stuff because of being stubborn and bullheaded and ignorant and that's a whole word for somebody guess what yes then he's going to use it and he will and he is even now because it it matters that he uses all of it what I love Cody is you keep saying I'm hard-headed I'm hard-headed but you know what you are now you're you're you're head strong in Jesus and and he can use that he can use that and would you say um one thing I'm noticing about your story is well obviously the people that we hang around that one foot in one foot out it seemed like for years you were trying God kept pulling you he's patient but you were still hanging around these people or influences and demonic things and Witchcraft that you can never be where you are now because of it right absolutely yeah it it matters more than you could ever imagine at the time and hindsight it's always 2020 you know you see looking back like wow things would have been so different if I had just listened and done things the right way the first time not hung out with that person not dated that person made this other choice and it matters so much and it you can accelerate your walk with Christ your wisdom that he gives you the Visions the dreams you can accelerate those things by obeying and following his commands and his word and doing things the right way and you will get to the place you want to be much faster yes I love that and and what are where can people follow you now where what are you doing now yeah so on YouTube you just type in my names it should show at the bottom I believe c o d i e Cody sedlock s l c k um and on Facebook I do I've been doing most everything on Facebook after I got Shadow YouTube a while back it like everything started dropping from like tens of thousands of views thousands hundreds and in the tent I'm like what is going on and the Lord was revealing to me he needed me in a certain place so I could be released back at a time when I had the right wisdom and the right tools and I believe um that time is as beginning to get re-released into uh doing this ministry this year uh this year 2024 so it's just starting to pick back up um you can follow me on the YouTube and Facebook I'm starting to get back more into YouTube it was just Facebook for a while but but I'm going to do both and I'm going to go a lot more than I than I was so follow me there feel free anybody Cody thank you so much for being with us today you have truly shared some amazing gems in your story and going back to loving people I know he never gave up on you with his love and showing you hell in the spiritual realm and these Supernatural encounters do you feel like you love people more now I do absolutely um it would almost be impossible for me to not because of all those experiences and they brought upon wisdom and I can see things spiritually now that people are dealing with and it helps me to know that they are just seeking the say they're seeking truth whether they even know it or not and I and I it makes it so much easier to love people knowing um that it is a spiritual war that and and it it helps so much it did help that whole journey thank you Lord yes I would love for you to pray with us for us today yeah okay but Heavenly Father we just give you all glory and praise right now you get all honor we worship you we just thank you for this platform I thank you for Julie and touching the afterlife I thank you Lord that you've given me a voice and
