How and when did you come to know the Lord?

I had an unexpected encounter. One cold winter day, I was preparing firewood by chopping logs for the house. My father asked me what I was going to be when I grew up, and my response was, "I am going to be a brave leader and am going to lead some people." This was the beginning of my encounters with God. Throughout my years growing up, my mom was involved in different phases of witchcraft and church activities. Often, she received newsletters and books from Oral Robert's ministry, which I would read secretly. Through her experiences, I began to become conscious of God. Six years later, I asked her minister, "How can I get to know God?" She answered, "Pray and ask God to reveal himself to you." I did, and that night I had a very unusual phenomenal occurrence where angels came into my room with black robes. Fear gripped my heart as I realized that they were demons. This incident drove me closer to searching for the Lord! Then I started seeking who God was—many times, as I endeavored in activities. I would hear a voice calling me. I kept suppressing the voice.

Later in my life, I met a Christian teenager, and he invited me to church. I told him no, but then I heard a whisper saying, "If he is your friend, you should go to church with him." I went to church, and during the service, I had an unusual vision. As the pastor gave the altar call, I looked up and saw a six-foot-tall angel with baby angels all around, with clouds surrounding them. He opened his arms, and the light radiated from his presence, saying to me, "Come, I have called thee." I was so frightened that I got up and ran out of church. I thought this was witchcraft from the devil, but in my heart, I knew it was God.

Two years later, I had another similar encounter: another audible voice saying, "Come to me!" That night, I took six hits of acid and became sober. I heard the voice again, "Come and serve me." I was determined to live my life in sin. I continued to fight with God and run, which led me deeper into sin. I started doing things I had never done before. When I had truly reached rock bottom, I awakened in a dark jail cell with rubber on the walls and a hole in the center of the floor for a toilet. I had been arrested; they found me spread eagle in the center of the road, unconscious. I was released by supernatural means because I missed my ship and was supposed to wait for the military police to pick me up. After being released, I heard some Christian gospel music miles away, which led me to a church. People were shocked and frightened of me as I entered the door. I heard the pastor say, "Jesus loves you." However, after the church service, I went to the deacon and told him I needed to talk to the pastor, and his response was that he didn't have time to come back tomorrow. I was angry and confused. Immediately, I ran out of the church and had a confrontation with God. I heard an audible voice of God and began to have a heated debate with him about the Christian church. When the dispute was over, I made a covenant with God. An angel appeared to me, and we went on a journey in the future. He revealed some events to me, including my funeral and experiencing a taste of hell. Fear of dying wasn't my concern, but the fear of where I would spend eternity gripped my body, soul, spirit, and mind. After visiting the inner core of the earth and seeing a grip of doomed people in hell, people were screaming and hollering for relief, demons laughing with mockery, 'These souls were entrapped forever.' It convinced me there was a lake of fire.

Finally, my heart was opened to the Lord: "I ACCEPTED GOD AS MY SAVIOR." Since then, the flight has been one of learning knowledge, fearing God, walking in his wisdom, and dying daily on the cross. The ultimate transition is to transform into the image and likeness of my father. Immediately, my life was impacted forever. I found God's amazing grace. I had no desire to smoke, drink alcohol, have sex, lie, steal, etc. My whole heart of stone had changed to a heart of flesh and compassion for love, especially people. My experience is that when true conversion comes, a transformation of your heart will display righteousness, love, joy, and peace; this is the kingdom. What is your testimony? We would love to hear your story and how God saved you! Read More

What is the most difficult thing about being a pastor?

The preparation for being equipped for your calling is a difficult time to understand the gray areas of reaching destiny. Especially when you're being led by the spirit along with your faith being blind. When there is no clarity, lack of understanding, and sometimes confusion, your flesh wants to take charge and call the shot, but patience, trust, obedience, and listening to the voice of different avenues as it instructs will guide you through victoriously. The key is riding the wave of following the Holy Spirit to your destination. Lean not to your own understanding, and watch the power of God move on your behalf!

Daniel, in the lion den set up by the King's men to get rid of this pain in the neck, overcame the teeth of hungry lions. And the lion then had a delicious meal with his enemies! Noah was instructed to build an ark, and it was going to rain. He preached the message of repentance, everybody laughed at him, and all odds were against him. It never rained, and an ark had never been built before. Amazingly, the ark was built, and it rained for the first time. At the end, he reserves the world for a new beginning. His enemies were silent forever! Abraham had to leave his people to get the promise of being a father of many nations, a child in old age, and many circumstances before fulfilling the promise, especially with Sarah doubting. But it all came to pass, and a nation was built. He had a son named Isaac, and his grandson Jacob carried the dream to the next level. Ruth and Naomi had a tragedy in the family that forced them to leave Moab. Ruth decided she was going to follow her mother-in-law, and her God would become her God. They had nothing. Victory was theirs! Read the book of Ruth to see the ending. Joseph has a dream with no instructions, but it leads him into too many traps, temptations, heartaches, and stress. He refuses to sleep with a woman who has a sexual craving for him. It landed him in the dragon pit of prison for several years; afterward, the dream came true, and his brothers and father bowed to him. They want to become a great nation in Israel. Ester was poor in spirit; she would be considered a nobody in society, an orphan; she had no possessions, nothing to offer, and no royalty in her appearance, but she has a precious jewel in her heart that shines on her outward appearance; in her kingdom, blood was destiny to be Queen. She had favor from the beginning as he enrolled in the contest. God moves in a mysterious way to accomplish her plan. Purpose and destiny were in her beauty to save her people from being slaughtered in the land. The perpetrators were condemned for their acts of judgment.

I have learned and experienced that when God begins to move in a person's life, we must come out of the comfort zone, remember there is no box, and take on a new paradigm of being molded for the Master's use. You have to understand there are no choices for the sense-ruling mind in serving the master; you must be single- minded and become a bond slave. Early in ministry, I learned to utilize the tools that God has given us: the Word of Wisdom, the Word of Knowledge, discernment, the Gift of Healing, the Gift of Faith, the Gift of Tongues, efficient prayer life, etc. Being called to be a pastor is not a difficult job. These are the tools God has given to the body of Christ, together with the offices of pastors, apostles, prophets, evangelists, and teachers. When you use all the weapons, the job is not complicated. We do have to deal with conflict resolution for life problems. However, we have the perfect teacher who lives in us, the Holy Ghost. The thing I have a problem with is what God has a problem with. There are six things the Lord hates which toxics are an abomination unto Him: “A proud look, a lying tongue, an ear that devises wicked imagination, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speak lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren." Some of the other behaviors are extreme and unrighteousness is being judgmental, being critical of people, taking God’s Word and distorting the truth, marketing the gospel for own personal gain, saying all the right things but having the wrong motive in mind, and hands that shed innocent blood. These things make our job very difficult. Heartbreaking to the vocation is double-dealer which is "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works" (2 Corinthians 11:13–15). This makes it even more difficult when our leaders exhibit this behavior. It is important in being a pastor that we set the example of being Christ-like. We are the first fruits and are called to love without dissimulation. Read More

Have you ever doubted your faith?

I needed to learn God's ways, get to know him intimately, and develop a strong relationship with my Creator. Faith with me is just trusting my Lord regardless of the crisis because his word is life, and it comes alive in turbulence if you apply the word of God. The word is victorious, and it settles in the blood of the cross. Nothing can defeat your faith but you; you are invincible, unstoppable, unmovable, unshakeable, and indestructible! Why? The anointing of the Holy Spirit empowers us to stand against all odds. What I doubted was a Christian confession of faith with a fruitless life full of works but no commitment to walking in the image of the Father. Also, leaders of the faith not preaching and teaching the fullness of truth cause individuals to be bamboozled by the truth. They hoodwink the people! "But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God" (2 Corinthians 4:2). My focus has always been on pleasing the father and doing his will. Regardless of conditions, circumstances, crises, limitations, boundaries, restrictions, or my abilities, I have always utilized my faith in God to conquer all setbacks. It's from these trials and tribulations that I developed my faith to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Corresponding action according to obedience to the word builds faith! My faith has grown tremendously to believe in God for the supernatural in all turbulence. For me to doubt my faith is to deny the redemption work of the cross and the blood of atonement. The ultimate highlight of my faith is to speak life into someone who needs to be spiritually uplifted or physically dead! We want to hear from you how your faith has grown; it will be a blessing to others. BY HIS GRACE, POWERFUL ANOINTING, AND FAITH MOVES GOD!!!! Read More

What do you enjoy most about being a pastor?

The joy of being a pastor is a divine calling to be a shepherd and to smell like sheep. “Working with God's flock, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for edifying the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:12-13). God has given me a heart of passion to be an ambassador, compassion to love his people, wisdom to bless his creation regardless of their nationality, gender, status quo, doctrine, etc. It's a joy serving the unregenerate and the flock, allowing them to touch me, feel my heart beat, and move with compassion to understand their desires and dilemmas. This makes me more vulnerable to society, but the comforter, who is my counselor, helper, intercessor, advocate, and strengthener, will empower me to stand to lead, guide, and give instructions to minister the rhema. The Holy Spirit, who is a teacher, will always give wisdom to shepherds or ministers under the power of the anointing to tap into the reservoir of the spiritual gifts: faith healing, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, miracles, interpretation of tongues, etc. I love using these spiritual gifts to activate the rhema word to minister to their requirements, pointing them to the cross, showing God's children how to reproduce the word, and allowing them the opportunity to receive the engrafted word of God. As the Word is being written in their soul and spirit, it gives me the opportunity to help develop their talents and gifts by watching, teaching, training, coaching, and mentoring the incorruptible seed to grow and produce fruits. I love assisting God’s creation when I need instructions, corrections, reproofs, and counseling for the perfect person in Christ. It’s the servants of God's duty to point out and show them how to walk with righteousness and conduct themselves in Christ's image. The Word is a blazing sword that brings corrections and instructions to God's creation to understand the truth and how these principles can be applied. It's a lifestyle of a pure heart working with mankind through preaching, teaching, edifying, comforting, and exalting. This executes the power gifts, revelation gifts, and gifts of speech, unifying the body of Christ into the image and likeness of Jesus. One of my primary affections is ministering with an apostolic team, a conglomeration of gifts, talents, and styles complementing each other with uniqueness and bringing resources, tools, knowledge, and insight. Furthermore, it moves under the supernatural powers of the Holy Spirit, with various perspectives on revelation. Under the anointing, with precision, supernaturally penetrate targets to impact people's lives drastically. We enjoy the challenge of going into areas where secular humanism, tradition, religion, and the philosophy of the gospel exist. Also, regions that have been downtrodden, underprivileged, disadvantageous, and misguided should allow the power of the Holy Spirit to move through to breakdown these hindrances with the Word of God (the truth). My passion is going into the hedges and the highways, compelling them to come through evangelism or outreach. We call it the ‘rise of a nation.’ This is part of the call! I find it irresistible to go to places where no one else will go—desolate places like prisons, detention centers, jails, hoods, and reservations. Demonstrate to people and give practical application on how to apply the Word of God in their lives so they can become living epistles. I am keen on seeing people come to the full stature of Jesus Christ and do the work of the ministry. It's alive, it breathes, and it lives in you! How is God calling you to answer the call of the Great Commission? Go!!! Read More

What is your mission statement when you get out of bed each morning?

My mission is always the five R’s: righteousness, reformation, restoration, refuge, and reconciliation. This is how I see my vision of restoring the walls and rebuilding the temple of God, both naturally and spiritually. Crush Satan’s head! My undertaking statement is to advance the kingdom. I am called to be a kingdom builder through revolutionizing the world by launching The Great Commission through Multicultural Evangelism to impact The Rise of a Nation. I breathe this every moment for A Heavenly Breakout, which brings his glory. My destiny is to invade the territory of Satan, the principalities of hell, and take the kingdom of darkness by force. I came to do the will of Him who sent me. By faith, we look to seize every moment to benefit from the rewards of breaking the gates of heaven, which will give us hidden treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. These resources will be abundant for building His kingdom on earth! The kingdom is love, joy, peace, and righteousness for me to demonstrate and reach out to a dying world so that they may see Christ and see Christ in me. My sincere desire is to love God's people with the heart of a father. What is your mission statement when you get out of bed in the morning? I love you unconditionally! Read More

What are the most important lessons you ever learned?

The most important lessons I learned were that God loves me, to love myself, and to deny myself—my interest, my desire, and my will. I am a dead man walking around alive to press forward the high prize of pleasing my father. I will share a few life lessons that have impacted my life forever! There were some phenomenal experiences with God, and we have chosen to share a few with the audience. In October 1981, San Diego, California, in the morning. They were preparing to celebrate my release from the arm force, and my plans were interrupted. As I got off the bus, there was an old lady at a busy intersection who needed an assistant crossing. My inner spirit told me to help, but my time frame didn’t permit it; my bus was coming. As I looked on, my heart was moved to lend a hand. As I approached the lady, my spirit quickened. I ask the lady to crab my arm as we cross the street, and immediately she looks at me. After some small talk, she said, “You are a healer called my God.” It was overpowering after I said, "Who are you?" and she just smiled. After helping her, I started to leave, but my spirit was uneasy, and the voice spoke again, “Your task is not completed.” So, I escorted her to the restaurant, settled her down, and told the woman, "You have my undivided attention; I am going to stay and eat with you." I agreed to pay for the meal. The woman looked at me again with a heavenly smile, her eyes glowing, and said, “Sonny, I have more money than you can imagine; your assignment is to finish; go and have a nice day.” I was dumfounded as I left, wondering who she was. When I got on the bus, the Spirit led me to open my bible to Heb 13:1-2, “Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Goose bumps appeared on my body, and chills ran through my spirit. I have received a visit from a heavenly host. This occurrence taught me to have time for people, treat all people the same, don’t be judgmental, critical, or partial, judge people by their appearance or because of the color of their skin, label people, etc.

Afterward, I start seeing people through God's eyes because this lady has a divine appointment for me from God. It changes my whole perspective on viewing people. A close friend of mine opened my eyes to see organized religion (men who separate themselves, sensual) having no spirit. Read the book of Jude. It devastated me when they left the faith and her husband led them to the Jewish religion; afterward, they separated and divorced. I took it personally; I had failed them. Afterward, I did some major research to discover that there were thousands of people leaving the faith, going after new age; some have started home church, and others didn’t want anything to do with church. It was time for soul-searching and major change. I challenged my theology for a new method of delivering the message and relating to people. When I relocated to New Mexico, it was an eye- opener to see the damage done by missionaries, pastors, evangelists, revivals, etc. Some of the gospel being preached was twisted and laced with the venom of poison. Many followers lacked understanding and knowledge but wanted more of God and the truth. It grounded me in continuing to dig deeper for a new standard, a new mindset, and putting on the new wine skin. This prepared me for Africa and the Philippines. Now I could see why my heart desires to storm the gates of hell. The experience of hardship, struggles, perplexity, and despair, especially dealing with men’s leadership and organizing religion, and denominations alone with their prejudices, was the breeding ground to make me strong and focus on being righteous. Their worldly ethics and conduct cause many afflictions, rejections, abandonments, disloyalty, loneliness, slander, a lack of being loved, and being deceived. It has prepared me for my divine assignment! Hardship is the breeding ground for miracles in becoming an ambassador or apostle of God. The scriptures must come alive in you and become a living epistle; knowledge without the spirit is dead, or a body without the spirit is dead. The word must be activated in you to release the power of God to minister to the wounded spirit! The greatest occurrence was an open vision from heaven—a visit with God—and this totally revolutionized my mindset and spirit for life. It was on top of a mountain peak that God began to communicate various life applications, but these words grasped my absolute attention when he said, “A leader must learn to stand alone." Then he began to teach on seeing through God’s eyes nature in the valley. He asked me to describe my natural eye impression; the view was breath-taking. I seem the beautiful work of the Master Creator of life, trees green, flowers colorful, plants blooming with life, wild life was healthy as they wonder around, crystal clear blue flowing water, the atmosphere was calm and warm, the people were busy enjoying their life styles, seeing the different buildings. "It was a splendor of God’s creation," he said. And he told me to close my eyes and he touch them again and asked me to open, and describe the view from my spiritual eyes.

The magnificence of the scenery was altered and fuzzy by man’s sin, which caused changes in nature: wildlife was hurting, the trees and flowers had lost their brilliance, people were struggling to survive (not joyous), the river that flowed with life was slow moving, there was discoloration in color, the atmosphere was depressing, and creation was slowly drifting away. I couldn’t believe what I saw with my natural eyes, splendor; it was different from the spiritual eye’s view, decaying. The first perspective was an insight into a mirage that could not be seen with the naked eye; it would only be revealed with spiritual eyes. Lastly, when instructed to close my eyes again, he said open. I was afraid; they popped open. My heart and eyes were in skepticism about what appeared in the valley: the sun was overcast with shadows of darkness, the atmosphere was filled with depression and hopelessness, the tree colors were brown, dry up, most plants had expired, flowers had no more beauty, shriveled, wildlife was desperate and weak in search of food, malnourished, trying to survive in an unfruitful habitat. The water was polluted, the color was brown, there was no more flowing, and fragments and dead stuff were floating. I saw mankind on the water shore and in another area on their last legs, hollering for help, wounded, dying from starvation, distressed; their lifestyle from sin was full of despair. You could see bodies decomposing as well as animals. The stink was intolerable. It was amazing that they were calling on God for a leader to deliver them from the wrath of sin. It was a lesson that taught me to see behind the iron curtain (through God's eyes) and to take my calling seriously. God was pleased with my interpretation and reminded me some time a “A LEADER MUST LEARN TO STAND ALONE”. Afterward, he asked me, “Can the people live?" I said, "Yes, I shall speak to the dead bones, and they shall live." He spoke and said, “Gather the lost sheep of Israel and feed my people. Teach them to love!" My last challenge was to jump off the mountain. I was obedient but fearful! My faith was absolutely sold to my Supreme Creator. I leap over the side of the mountain, and as I was free styling, God said, “Spread your arm out." As I did, they became wings like an eagle. I notice a rigorous storm coming toward me. I was totally under the wings of the Almighty. I begin to incline as the storm advances, and I rise above the storm. God said that in life, people must rise above the storms to see objectively. When they are in the storm, they see subjectively. Their minds were not clear and cloudy. They must face the storm of life to rise above tragedies in life. Teach my people to rise above the storm, and they shall be victorious. It is beautiful, soaring in liberty, freedom, justice, truth, and righteousness; nothing shall defeat you. This is an undisputable champion of walking in absolute faith through obedience.

I am grateful to God the Father, the Son, the Word, and the Holy Ghost for training me to be a vessel of honor for the Master. Another significant element of being an ambassador is being yourself. Be natural, learn to smile, love people, reach out, and mingle with them; they need to feel the genuineness of God's heartbeat in you. When people know your concern, they will reach out to you, share their emotions, and let you into their hearts. Don’t violate their trust, and keep your confidentiality. Many pastors and leaders shatter relationships by talking about counseling sessions that were private. Be humble, righteous, sensitive, and caring, and put on the attributes of Jesus Christ, which come from having an intimate relationship with God the Father, the Son, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you don’t have a cherished relationship with the Trinity, especially the third person of the Godhead, you will have hardships and many failures. This is the only reason why there are so many tribulations in the church today: people do not know who they are. There are two Gods in this world; you must choose which one you will serve: the true and living God, the creator of heaven and earth, or the imposter, Satan, who appears to be an angel of light and the minister of righteousness but is a counterfeit of truth. The supreme God is Jehovah, self-existing. THE CHOICE IS YOURS! Humility is the key to the kingdom and cloth in God's righteousness. The greatest lesson any individual can learn is to fear God. It is the beginning of wisdom! What are some life lessons you have experienced that have drastically changed your mindset? We want to hear about your experiences. Write us; it will be a blessing!

What do you do to relax?

There are many things that relax me. I like going fishing, reading books, playing games, laughing, and conversing with my spiritual sons and daughters. I like being at home listening to Christian music and videos with my unique surround sound system. I feel effective in showing hospitality, having people come around for fun, and fellowshipping with entertainment. Also being adventurous, giving surprises, writing, and devoted to cooking healthy! It is imperative that I get alone with God to pray and worship; it refreshes my body, soul, and spirit. There is a special place I visit to unwind and get away from everything. The mountain and water to watch the wave come in seclusion, perfect serenity to read the word, meditate, and communicate with God. It’s absolutely beautiful surroundings, and the atmosphere is quite tranquil for rest and relaxation. And the price is right! It’s like heaven to me. I believe everybody needs a place to relax and have fun away from life distractions. A change of environment is healthy for relaxing the mind! Find a place for you to relax and get refresh it good medicine to the total body soul n spirit it’s a total refreshing! We encourage you to send us your story of relaxation as a testimony. Read More

What word of encouragement would you like to give other pastors who are praying about being a pastor?

First, I like to set the record straight: this is not an occupation, a job, or man’s desire; it is a divine call from God, who appoints and sets pastors in office to serve him. We are not hirelings but called to be under shepherds and serve under the government of theocracy, which means absolute authority from heaven to rule on earth. It’s the highest supreme law in all nations, and it’s governed by my principles and standards for mankind from the Bible. The best example I have seen in the flesh is Mother Teresa. It’s not about fame, money, material possessions, success, megachurches, or planting churches. It’s about God’s purpose for your destiny. To get a higher education, ministry school, business experiences, knowledge, understanding the Bible, and having the right connection don’t qualify you; it’s the divine call from God. "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus" (Act 4:13). The Holy Spirit will lead, appoint, set, and assign us to our divine assignment. Study the lives of David, Daniel, Ruth, Ester, or the Apostles; Jesus hand-picked them: “Come, I will make you fishermen of men. They were called to serve!” Word of warning: the sheep are not your property; they belong to God! I’d like to encourage pastors to love God’s sheep and train and equip them to do the work of the ministry. Preach an unadulterated Word of God for them to grow healthy. Set your eyes as a flint; don’t be discouraged or dismayed, for God is with you. Do not look to the begging elements of this world to solve your problems—money, materialism, manipulating people—but have faith in God. Faith moves God. Keep your eyes on God. Do not allow people to intimidate you or influence their ungodly toxic habits or practices in unscriptural acts. Stand firm in the teachings of God! Be assured of your calling, be faithful unto death, have no respect for people, and walk in the divine presence of God. Always remember we are here to serve God and please him; therefore, by obeying the call, the comforter will equip you. He who called you will complete the work in you and keep focusing on finishing the race. It is very imperative that we, as pastors, demonstrate and walk in the likeness of God and be examples of the Word in deed, not just with our mouths but by showing the people how to do it.

Also, I would like to persuade pastors to be touchable (allow people to touch you), be warm, be personable, loving, forgiving, sensitive, caring, understanding, show mercy, and have pure humility. Have the attributes of our Father’s unconditional love, grace, righteousness, etc. Demonstrate the fruits of the spirit. Know your limitations. Don’t be scared to reach out. Go beyond your comfort zone and reach out to all nationalities. Don’t limit yourself within your own walls; there is a vast world that needs to be reached and cared for. People are dying every day without Christ. I sanction you to be creative, ingenious, and seek the mind of God. I endorse you to search the Word and make sure what you preach is sound doctrine, the Apostle Doctrine. Don’t preach heresy, not being hypocritical in your doctrine; I influence you to rise up the body of Christ, to be kingdom builders, and to advance the kingdom of God. Take by force the principalities stronghold, take our cities back, and take our schools back. Deal with issues in your community: drugs, alcohol, abortions, homosexuality, shatter marriages, teenager rebellion, etc. We, as pastors, must deal with the issues, speak the truth, and establish the Word of God in all subjects. Speak out on our land and in your community! Wherever we go, we must be living epistles of the Word of God. Speak the word in season and out of season. Be original, be real, and take all limitations and restrictions off your calling! This is a new era of servanthood, and God is raising up a new breed of fivefold ministers. The mantle will be passed on to a new dispensation, and these fishermen of men will not deviate from the word of God. They will stand, and nothing will separate them from the love of God!! They will be confrontational and, on offense, challenge the old school and their ungodly practices. Old schools have norms, and if you don’t conform to their views of unity or concepts, you will be notorious and isolated. They will try to put you in submission with insults, abusiveness, isolation, slander, rudeness, impoliteness, meanness, nastiness, which is the work of the flesh, etc. King Saul did this to David; the old man prophet did this to the young prophet; he deceived him into submission, and he yielded to disobedience. God pronounced judgment on him, and he was killed. Continue with the kingdom-builder vision and the goal, the Great Commission. Go and make disciples transform lives, impact communities, and bring about change. SPEAK WHEN GOD SPEAKS, AND BE SILENT WHEN YOU DON’T HEAR HIM. TEACH PEOPLE TO REACH PEOPLE. How do you perceive a pastor and his obligation? Share with us. Read More

What would you say is one of the greatest concerns of pastors today?

I believe one of the greatest concerns of pastors today is the church, which is looking more like the world. "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate” (Titus 1:16). The church is polluted with secular humanism, allowing same-sex marriages, allowing homosexuality preachers and perverseness to serve as believers, playing wild music, charismatic witchcraft, and witchcraft. New age doctrine has crept in which is occult, pastors preaching that which is not sound doctrine, leaders of men falling in lustful sin, and leaders of men see their job more of an occupation. "Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2 Corinthians 6:17). “Touch not; taste not; handle" (Colossians 2:21). God said, "Without holiness, no man shall see God" (Hebrews 12:14). In other words, holiness means being separated, consecrated, or dedicated to doing the work of God. He told us to come out from among them. God said that if any man preaches a gospel other than the gospel that I preach, let him be cursed. The church must set the standard and principles for living. Furthermore, God’s righteousness does not have to be ‘politically correct’ as the world sees it. My greatest concern is that confession of faith today is from the mind and not the heart; true conversion brings transformation. Pastors must remember that the people are not his flock and the church is God. His son shed his blood for the church. Read Jude and the book of Thessalonians. WE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!! I am interested in your concern for the church and the world; please feel free to share it with me. It will help me to address some issues. Read More

What do you believe is the greatest cause of division in the church and what can we do as a body to unite despite our differences?

These are some of the greatest hindrances in the church. I believe the greatest cause of division in the church is that we have been influenced by world standards. We have set a new norm of morals with conformity. The Church has tolerated Satan and his pride to set a new demonic force of influence. He comes in four disguises: religion, tradition, culture, and philosophy. Satan's profession is to rob, destroy, and kill. In churches today, many leaders walk in their own pride, which is of the flesh. The next greatest hindrance is that man serves God from his secular perspective of knowing about God instead of knowing him without a heart conversion. They serve the master with their intellectual mind, sense-rule knowledge, and man’s resources for gain. This gives Satan an opportunity to penetrate by establishing barriers in the house of God by serving him in a democracy. The church is not a business to be governed by currency. IT’S A THEROARCY RUN BY SURRENDER MEN AND WOMEN FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTION OF THE COMFORTER. We set up stipulations in the house of God by our own spirit, influenced by demonization. We established the status quo through man-made doctrine. The leaders have their own private retreat to establish denominational teachings in the body of the congregation. When people come into the church who are different from them or don’t worship the way they worship, we automatically put-up walls. There are many ways Satan divides the church: through the spirit of offense, respect for persons, men's church doctrines, denominationalism, love of money, secular humanism, denying the Holy Spirit, misunderstanding and rejecting the gifts, fivefold ministry gifts, and what it means to be saved. We must serve God with a pure heart and not with our minds. It is simple to get the truth about the matter. What does the Bible say about it? Everybody says, "My truth is the truth," but the Bible says, "Rightly divide the Word of Truth." I believe the greatest way to solve our problems is to come to the point of changing our mindset and walk in humility and repent! There were some that walked with Jesus and wanted to stop them from doing the work of God, and Jesus said, "Leave them alone; if they are doing it in my name, they can’t speak evil of me." We need to stop slandering one another. We have to stop thinking we are the only ones who have the truth. God is not coming back for a denomination. He is coming back for his people, coming for a nation, one people under God who serve him. He is coming back for the righteous, and we must come to the conclusion that we believe in death, burial, and resurrection. We believe that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. We believe in the Pentecostal experience at Passover, and it's for everyone. It’s a heart confession that brings change, and we are dead to our flesh. If we have the foundation laid, we can work from there. Again, there is only one way for the church to unite: receive the spirit of truth, and it will guide you into the fullness of the Godhead. It is essential that we become doers of the word and walk in agape, unconditional love. Love is the greatest gift that God bestows on the hearts of his people. Always willing to forgive. AMEN. Read Jude. Mocker in the last time, who would walk according to their own ungodly lust. These are sensual people who cause divisions without having the spirit. Digest this; it is an eye-opener that will cause you to examine our faith. I pray it will impact a heart change! It is vital that we understand the third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. John 7:39: "But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified."

Question: How can you have the Holy Spirit without the Pentecostal understanding of what he sent to the hold body of Christ, a heavenly language? When the Bible speaks, I will speak, and when the Bible is silent, I will be silent. It is time for the body of Christ to become scholars of the word by applying themselves to know the scriptures and God. We must reconsider the adopted traditions, family faith, or doctrine of your teaching. Pastors must reexamine their teaching as the Apostles did when Paul went to the Gentiles. Peter has on-the-job experience in the Cornelius household when they received the Holy Spirit without water baptism. I had an overwhelming eye opening to some biblical teachings. They taught me, and I was teaching it, which was corrupt, and I had to repent and ask for forgiveness of the families I misled. Each individual must give account of their faith in serving the Creator for their life. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works" (Revelation 20:11–13). These are some serious concerns over the years I have dealt with some serious issues and doctrines: Jesus is not incarnated in the wound of Mary, and he was born into the world as like other natural children; Jesus is not God, which are two separate individuals; the word of God is not infallible; there is no such thing as hell; the devil doesn’t exist; we are all one regardless of our differences; the bible is fairy tale stories. Controversial issues in Christianity: you don’t need the baptism of the holy spirit of speaking in tongues, water baptism, salvation, spiritual gifts, female authority in leadership, morality, five-fold ministry, salvation, church government, etc. The scriptures are clear on how to handle such an issue: “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus” (1 Corinthians 5:5). What do you believe is the greatest cause of division in the church, and what can we do as a body to unite despite our differences? Share your views with us. Read More

If you were something other than being a Pastor, what would it be?

A martyr for Christ! “Well, I can’t think of anything else because my passion is to spread the gospel. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else but preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for this is the thing that makes me tick. I get an opportunity to reach out and bless others.” To do anything else will be death. I BREATHE TO LIVE FOR GOD AND TO DIE FOR HIM! "As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:36–39).

What are your favorite Bible verses and why?

Jeremiah 1:10: “See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” This verse is my calling in the ministry. Isaiah 61:1: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” This text describes my obligation to liberate people from their catastrophe, and by the Spirit of the comforter, it shall give them hope. The dead bones shall live! Joshua 1:7-8: “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night so that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” This passage of scripture is my instruction to be strong, stay focused, and obey the blessings that will follow. 2 Chronicles 20:17: “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.” This divine passage empowers me to be a warrior for Christ, and no power of the Prince of the Air can defeat me because he has given me the keys to subdue my opponent. Matthew 11:12: “And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” The prophetic word spoken here reminds me to preach repentance, take up my cross, and pursue invading my adversary possessions and advancing the kingdom of God. Through the sovereignty of God, no matter what the storm is in my life, I can stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. The word ‘stand’ means not being idle but means that when you are going through a procedure, God is working it out. We will be able to see the enemies flee and be victorious. The word ‘salvation’ means to be whole, complete, healthy, delivered, and redeemed. These are the weapons in the arsenal that God uses to strengthen us to be warriors. These scriptures have become a living legacy in my life. They tell the story of who I am. What scripture has inspired your life? Sincerely, I want to hear your heart beat! Read More

What is your fondest memory so far of being a Pastor?

Everything I do for God is a memory. There are some things that stand out more than others. One was when the Lord converted me and made a covenant with me to lead his people. However, the supreme memory is when a microphone is placed in my hand, an audience is set before me, and God works through me to minister to his people with an unadulterated word of God. Witnessing God’s people transformed by the supernatural power of God from death to life. Impacting people's lives and advancing the kingdom. The most emotional memories I have on earth are of weddings and funerals. I would love to see the church unify and network for doing great commissions, teamwork, mass communication, and innovation.

What would you like to be remembered by?

A golden heart to accept, embrace, and impact people's hearts with the love of the father. An apostolic father who loves children. The legacy I would like to leave for the world is that I would set the example of walking in the image and likeness of Christ and that I would treat everyone fairly, regardless of our differences. I would like to be remembered for storming the principalities of hell to set the captives free, breaking the strongholds. When there was no hope, the Holy Spirit empowered us to give hope. Embrace the people who are desolate and in need; give them substance. The ministry offers financial (as benevolence funds are available) and physical, social, and mental support. I want to be remembered in the greatest areas: exalting, comforting, and edifying the body of Christ. I want to be remembered as a shepherd who smelled like sheep. Do you smell like sheep? What legacy would you want to leave? It would be an honor to hear your impact after going to glory.

If you could say anything to the people in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Africa, and Philippines?

It is time for the church to unify, as in the Lord, with one faith and one baptism. Come together and fight the prince of this world, which is Lucifer, and declare war and invade sin. It is time for the church to utilize its greatest potential, invest in the common people (the laity), develop, equip, and train the body of Christ to do the work of the ministry. To accomplish this goal, we must lay down our biases, our prejudices, and our preconceived ideas and see our brothers and sisters—not for the color of their skin, but for who they are as children of the living God. If the church will come together and utilize the wealth of knowledge, treasures of talents, and gifts in individuals, organizations, and denominations, we will become a potential powerhouse that will change our neighbors, our schools, our cities, and the state of Wisconsin. Now that I am in New Mexico, there is great division among Christianity, native tradition, the teaching of old tribal rituals and medicine, Christian and traditional religions, and white man gospel. The key is to search for truth, and the only way to find it is to ask God to reveal himself to you. Have respect for each other of choice, without anger or resentment, and if you have truth demonstrated through love, love will always change the heart. There is a great lack of understanding and knowledge of the teachings of Christ, especially in the white-man version of the Bible, which perverts the truth of the gospel. Encourage yourself to get the truth and wisdom of the teachings of Christ. Hold your leaders accountable to you and authorities in the church; don’t follow them if they are not walking in truth. Tent revivals are not for the church; revivals are for the lost. Find you a good church home that teaches the liberty of the gospel and its fullness. Don’t get caught up in the enslavement of depending on outside resources to build your church and provide the needs; God is your provider. Embrace the true messengers of God; support their labor of love in the works that God is doing in your shepherd. Don’t be part of gossip, slander, talebearers, whispers, lying, strife, or murder. Train and teach your children the gospel, and get them involved with a church. Learn to give, be tender, and give your best as an offering. Learn the word and how to apply it to your life. Be a witness for Christ, and most important, understand authority and love. Can you do this? It’s your choice—CHOOSE LIFE OR DEATH! Read More

Do you have any specific prayer requests?

Yes, my prayer request would be that leaders and laity examine their hearts and repent of sins. I would also like to pray that the body of Christ will be able to demonstrate the genuine love of Christ toward God’s creation and that each man will examine their heart and walk in the attributes or character of Christ. Jesus prayed for unity in the body of Christ, and we should pray likewise. Pray specifically for the youth that their fathers will be role models and good examples, and that God will make the crooked places straight. He is the repairer of the breach.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

God is searching for individuals that he can pour himself into; that they may be vessels that made of honor for the Master use. It is time for us to raise the standard of Christian living to Kingdom mentality. It is time and seasons for true ambassadors of the church to be a light in the community, to pick up our cross and follow Christ, to deny ourselves of our own interests, our will, our desires, and our flesh must die. Afterward, the body of Christ can unify to pursue and achieve the vision, mission, and purpose of their lives, utilize our gifts and talents for the church, and accomplish the Great Commission. When the journey is all over, God can say to us, "This is my good and faithful servant, with whom I am well pleased," and I will see you at the finish line. God is blessing us, and we are building a network of sons and daughters of Thunder to revolutionize the world. We are sending a call for people with a purpose who want to make a difference and yield to the great commission. GO!! It is time for us to mount up and sound the battle trumpets to invade the land. We are kingdom-mined people building a network for the kingdom. If you would like to contact me or make comments, call us at +63 998 544 9164 or godsempiresanctuary@gmail.com. There is a prophetic word that I would like to speak from my heart to all Christians in the nation to scrutinize their perspective on this serious topic that has hunted nations or churches for generations, especially America, which was built as one nation under God. Families, our neighborhood, and our work place, especially the church, have separated us from showing genuine love to our brother. It causes extreme dislike, makes people feel second-rate, segregates, stigmatizes people, and it’s a learned behavior that has been breathed into the fiber of civilization. Its racism! The constitution guaranteed mankind to be equal only in theory because certain people were excluded, especially native American Indians, Afro-Americans, and others who they considered non-white. The Bible clearly states we are all this creation, and we are to love our brother as thyself! This social genocide is evil, pollutes, and contaminates. It has infiltrated the inner woven threads within the hearts of some Christians and churches who are carriers of this infectious poison. We, as the body of Christ, must blend as one family. The Bible says one nation, one blood, one tongue, and we all come from dust, and the creation of mankind started in Egypt. How can we enter heaven as murderers? Remember this: esteem your brother higher than yourself, walk in humility, and love your neighbor as yourself. This love comes from a regenerated heart that has been transformed into a new creation and has taken on new DNA. There is only one nation of people, and I call them the red people, that took on the cross of blood atonement; it liberates us from the cruse of sin! We are free to live in his righteousness of love, joy, and peace.

This is a complex issue. I have seen so many people destroyed and never able to reach their full potential because of racism. Please write me on this issue and share your story of how this has affected your life and how we can make a difference. If you were a racist and God changed. Read More
