really good guy really appreciate the work that he's doing too so you I mean your whole family man you guys are just bring lighting love to the earth sauce trying well welcome to the truth seeker podcast how are you today good thank you for having me awesome so this is a subject you know we've covered so many times as far as people being able to hear from spirit see in the spirit and but just like we've covered this subject many times but everybody has something beautiful and peculiar to bring to the table about different insights and how to hear how to see how to feel in the spirit and then how to embrace spirituality to come out of the darkness and into the light and so your story is is essentially that let's just kind of give a just I guess a start off just kind of giving people a little bit of a background about who you are what you bring to the table well my book is actually called from duck to light a memoir of spiritual awakening and in this book I show you how I was born into an alcoholic abusive family and all the tragedies that happen throughout my life all the spiritual things that happen during these tragedies or just during a life where spirit was trying to like make me aware and I have gnawed them because after I went from this alcoholic abusive father who made us all very dysfunctional I went into my own alcoholism and my own addictions and I honestly did not realize there was a medium until after the tragedy of my brother who committed suicide and that's by me going to a medium to try to connect to my brother that she said to me do you know that you have the gift of mediumship the spirit world is saying would you like to open up to that and from I said yes and from that moment spirit just came flooding in it was just like a shoot huge revelation I mean I heard disembodied voices like throughout my life I've seen spirit things that happen but till that moment you know and then after I opened up it was incredible angels started coming to me and it went from angels to Satan and Jesus and mother Marian I mean that's how I started I didn't stop connecting to loved ones and given readings I started talking to them from the biblical days and and and my guides and stuff and then ended up where I ended up just started giving people readings and practicing and I just kept getting better and better and that's how I developed my mediumship and I end up on a daily basis I meditate and I communicate and I write down and that's a lot of this in this book is communication from them and I still do it because I'm doing I'm getting the information for my next book now I'm doing what they want just they told me to write this book they told me to write the information this wasn't my idea this really wasn't I was told just what to do and then they told me that they actually gave me the cover for the book they showed me the vision of this book of what they wanted on it like from top to bottom this book is this you know it's just Fred with the world and this book is also like if you're having a difficult day you can go this book and flip through it it could find something enlightening to let you up from say mother Mary or anyone you know that's basically what this book is that's interesting because we've been hearing a lot about that lately a lot of people who were writing books as you know I'm writing I'm in the middle of writing mine right now but I've been doing my research about you know different publishers and things like that who promotes spiritual books and most of the interviews and things that I'm listening to they're all saying that this was something that was channeled by the angels or from you know the Christians would say God told me to write this book or the Holy Spirit put it on my heart I mean even the Bible is inspired by God so it's like the divine there's people channeling the divine talking about their experiences and then having these keynotes that are like from the other side right and so it's just being open and honest about the information that's coming through the interesting thing is is like a lot of times like there may not even seem like any validation for these concepts but they're just channeled through you you automatically know them and it comes in the form of automatic writing or automatic typing and then you go back and read it I'm reading my stuff that's coming I'm like I don't even remember writing this stuff I didn't know that I knew this stuff because I'm having to relearn things that I wrote which is a very interesting practice so that's really awesome that you say that one question I'd get half for you when you went to that medium and she said she identified that gifting within you and said that you was a medium as well what was that was there like some type of impartation or did when she say it did something unlock in you did she pray for you did she tell you like go home and meditate and asked to speak with Mary like how did that transpire from this is what happened she's like spirit standing here and they want you to try to see them and tell me about them and that's how it happened and there was a woman named Grace with blonde hair and she said yes she's here I said yes she is and I gave her the message that the lady said and that was the first time I actually really had a communication back and forth with spirit instead of posed to just hearing them or just seeing them my own personal communication and that's when I went she said you need to go home and every day you need to try to connect to spirit in some way and it basically it was angels at first that kept coming in they're the ones who told me to write the book so how how do they come in I know this I mean there's tons of ways to connect right so I have the gift of sight I can see who comes in I can describe them I can see the hair color their eye color what they're wearing everything and then as I communicate it's through mind-to-mind communication and I also receive feelings from spirit they can make me feel sad somebody who's committed to suicide can make me feel overwhelmed well desperation it's so I get all those senses and that's how I communicate to spirit yeah so what about through you know like you Tom I spend the time in meditation there's there some more intense contact that comes through that is a little bit more clear is it I what I do it's called sitting in the power and you take your energy and you just pull it up from your feet and you pull it up through your body and you pull it up to the top of your head and you pretty much just let it sit there and that is practice because you're raising your energy up the spirit world is they're dropping their energy and that's how you're meeting your meeting halfway in between as you raise it so it's a practice of sitting there and raising the energy above your head and then and you will connect that way also you talked about you know having all of these tragedies and just you know going through a really dark time but you said the whole time spirit was trying to you know get a hold of you and try to send you messages did you know it while you were going through it or was that a hindsight thing then not that you can look back you can see how things were strategically happening over your life well some of it was hindsight and some of it I didn't realize some of it like when I was a child there was a couple in my house that were in spirit and through two mediums who found out it was a murder-suicide but they would frighten me to death they would whisper my name you know so disembodied what like they frightened me those things but actually when I was in my addiction I really had a hard time getting clean and I struggled and I would stay clean and I would drink and I would steak and I got pregnant with my first child and I still had a difficult time staying off of alcohol so I mean I didn't know I mean I was like seven months pregnant and I still had a drink unfortunately I mean I wasn't drinking every day but it was a drink you know and I was on my way to my baby shower and as the girls were picking me up I stepped in a hole in the road snap to my right ankle fell on the left snapped the left ankle who broke broke him severely I was out of commission and that got me sober because I needed surgery I was in a bed until I delivered that child and that I believed and I always felt that was like an intervention from God and if you don't mind I'm gonna read from you exactly a message that I got about that for sure on May 27th in 2017 as I connected to the angelic realm today I was shown a vision of a group of angels wearing all light suddenly all these angels started to change into what looked like ornaments next I was shown a Christmas tree that I was kneeling in front of when I was a child in my living room while my father was sitting on the couch looking very angry an angel came forth and he told me as he is Nathanael one of my guardian angels he told me that he has been with me since birth and he has always protected me from the physical harm from my father he told me that he would continue to be with me till I transitioned home again he said I will always protect you from physical harm then Nathanael showed me myself when I was pregnant and I fell in the road and which I broke both my ankles he showed me that he gave me a push on my back so that I would fall he went on to say that this was asked of him from our Heavenly Father in order to change the path that I was on with my alcoholism he said it had to be done to secure the future of my unborn son and myself he said you had gone too far off the path and you needed to be brought back in otherwise the dynamics of your life's purpose would have changed and you would never be at the place you are in your mission today your life's purpose is too important to just let you go a schoo contracts were signed and promises were made that we had to uphold you too you were right in your intuition when you said that God had a hand in it though you didn't realize the importance of it all so that was confirmation for me right there that God it was God's will that was the only way they were pulling me back in wow I mean I've been studying especially from a biblical standpoint like how God uses tragedy to - how you say punish us like it's kind of weird because punishing is like a bad word now you know we're not supposed to punish our kids or chastise our kids but the scripture says that God chastises though which he loves right and so there's there's things that we can get into that have deep consequences and those consequences essentially all is God look I'm giving you a choice to choose you know you want that or you want this and so when when whenever we're going through that stuff again like you said it was hindsight when we're going through it we don't you know we don't think that it's something that's good for us or whatever the case is we want to immediately you know be out of that situation and just being another season or whatever the case is but as we look at it we can see the hand of the divine just guiding us do you think that that's something that happens for everybody or maybe a select chosen few or does everybody kind of being drawn at some point in their life to the divine and to God and things like that well I think everybody is drawn I don't think one soul is better than another I think everyone has a different purpose and maybe some purpose is Ammar important than another that they they they need to like intertwine intervene to get it done they need to get that done so they have to intervene so I don't know if they'll intervene in everyone's life purpose but they do you know in some way they do it depends on the importance I feel of what the life purpose is yeah if I can get this book out and this book helps a lot of people then there's the purpose yeah definitely would you think so people are you know would hear that new you know some people we talk about as all-time some people have hundreds of experiences with the angelic with the demonic with UFOs it's anything that's otherworldly it's like a it's a it's an everyday encounter for them but then some people go their entire life without having anything like that happen or maybe they do and they just don't perceive it or they don't believe it or whatever the case is yeah what about the people who want to have it right so like if there's a desire within someone to connect with their guardian angels if somebody wants to connect with Jesus can they do it like just simply going off of that energy zyre can anybody do it I think what the intention is everything and I think everyone comes to earth with that ability because not one soul is better than another you just have to have the intention and you have to go within and learn and if you really have that desire they will connect with you they will they don't they don't know shove anyone aside I'm not better than anyone else yeah I'm with you I believe it too what about let me ask you about this so when we talk about these type of spiritual experiences and I mean we're hearing voices where our moods are changing instantly but it's all for a reason once we're able to kind of interpret it let me just go here first is speaking of the moods when that first happened was that strange to you did you think that it was you know your blood pressure being off or you just you know it could have we try to explain this stuff away when we start having these weird thoughts come to us so we think we're judging people you know things like that did it come natural or was it a process of awakening for you to understand what these feelings and impressions were actually I never thought too much about it I kind of and one that just kind of whatever and put it aside you know I just I I I just didn't want to look into it to tell you the truth I didn't understand why they happened then I didn't question I was too busy in my life not looking elsewhere except okay whatever and just move on you know the only thing was what frightened me was a child when they would whisper my name stuff that would frighten me but otherwise I didn't pay much attention there was a time in my alcoholism I went on a three-day coke binge and by the third day I was like I had to get some sleep so I was at a friend's house and I laid down and at the end of the bed stood a man a woman and a child and I started talking to them and they kept looking at me like I can't believe you can see me and always thought that was a hallucination but in the back of my mind thought there was something more to that but there was they were in Victorian clothing they weren't a hallucination they were apparitions in my mind where I was was in a perfect place to see them you know I mean I'm not saying you have to do a three coke binge to see spirit I'm just saying that happened to me so you know and then I just put it aside though yeah there's a lot of people who have had experiences like that whether it's you know drugs opening up portals to the other side and no you know doing drugs and seeing things that aren't there or really seeing things that are there opening up the portal and able to see demons and things like that especially like if you're doing let's just this is be honest like most people who are doing like hardcore drugs like that they're not you know they're they're really doing things in their life that are of the lower vibrational frequency you're dealing with you know gang activity you're you know people bring in illegal drugs into the country there's all types of crazy stuff that goes on people stealing drugs or stealing to get drugs so when you're doing that stuff and then you're able to tap into the spirit realm and you're able to have these these encounters but they're usually not the best right I found that like when you when you start doing the beautiful things in life when you start living your life at a higher vibrational frequency helping people doing alms before God as the Scriptures would call it then you're once you tap in through meditation or maybe even sacred plant medicines you're able to contact and have encounters with higher vibrational beings that have your best interest in mind definitely almost definitely the lower vibration is it's I believe in karma so the lower vibration is just gonna bring you what you're putting out is what you're gonna get back in there you're putting out higher vibration there that's coming right back to you also yep it's exactly like I was somehow you know the punishment of God and we can look at it as the punished it's the punishment of the universe essentially you'll get you're getting back what what you're putting out there right again if you're doing all this bad stuff you're gonna reap the harvest of that definitely but things that you go through tragedies I think they're lessons that you need to learn or I was told that everything I've been through cuz I've been through some stuff it's to bring so I could have empathy for people that we're in my shoes and I can help them better that's that's an interesting thing to look at too because it's not all your fault right sometimes like if we're do bad stuff then the repercussions that we suffered thereof it's usually our fault but there's some things we go through that or we're just kind of like a victim to the circumstance and tragedy that things like that happen that we have no use of so to think that that was something that was our fault and we brought on that that could be something that people it's hard to understand but I like the fact that you look at we use everything to learn from you know what I'm saying so anything that happens to us we can turn around and use it for our good the scripture says that anything that the enemy meant for your harm God will in turn use it for your good so if we believe that anything that happens to us that we use it as a form of spiritual alchemy even and using it to elevate from one level to the next versus sitting in our guilt or our fears or trauma and things like that but really learning from in healing from it I would ask you about this too cuz and a lot of stuff is just stuff that I'm studying different ideas or whatever but when it comes to helping spirits cross over as you mentioned right there's supposedly like spirits who are stuck in between it could be many different reasons you know we we all have seen movies and things that depict a person who had died and didn't know that they died or they died in a traumatic way and they're just kind of stuck in in that in that ether in between and and then we have ghosts and then we have evil spirits and there's different things going on on the other side but how would you help help and a being I guess a disembodied person to cross over to the others other side is that kind of an example like they don't know that they've passed in things like yeah and I mean and I've had I had a friend named Laurie who passed away suddenly and I was in the basement of my house doing the laundry and I could feel spirit on my back like climbing on my back like panic and anxiety and it was so overwhelming coming into my energy that I said and this was the day after Laurie passed and I said Laurie is that you and I said you need to cross over and I just spoke to her and said listen you've been waiting to be with your father it's okay you're dead it's okay just go to the light and I spoke to her and then I felt peace well two months later I go to see that medium again because she's really fabulous and she said there's a younger woman here named Laurie that's coming to thank you for helping her to cross over she said you're a good friend so I knew that made me gave me confirmation that yeah I am helping these souls cross over because when I also when I was living in another house there was a fire in the house but that's a comes after this but when I moved in I could feel this energy there and it was a male and he wasn't very nice he was trying to frighten me I would do this is where I started writing my stuff in my book this is not what the place where I started connecting to the angels and he would laugh at me as I was doing it and like mock me and I thought everything was funny and you know and I told him listen you can cross over I will help you and he didn't want to you want to no part of that so it goes by maybe I lived there maybe a total of eight months okay so about seven and a half months into living there he comes to me and says to me my name is Peter I'm afraid God won't forgive me for what I've done and I said yes he will and I called an Archangel Michael and other angels came in and they helped him to cross over and it was like peace well two weeks later there was a fire at my house and the house burnt down to the ground and that's why he came to me because they have the foresight of that and he would have been in chaos not knowing where to go so that is the reason he stepped in but no matter what the reason is I feel I went to that place purposely just across that soul over now were you ever given any insight about maybe roles or different duties and stuff that happens on the other side as far as people who have an ascended maybe because you know the more study I'm - and I'm finding that like it almost seems that those who have kind of passed all the tests and things that they were supposed to take on earth and they've reached that level of ascension I feel like on the other side that they can be used as teachers to maybe their you know I'm saying ancestral lineage and reaching out to those below them you know even like an Eastern thought that always the you know the teacher or the guru when he crossed over woods continued to teach the pupil from the other side and then those who were kind of maybe out of balance out of whack maybe they would have to do something else whether it's people believe in reincarnation to come back and kind of take those tests over would you ever shown anything like that yes I've been told that people who leave too early before their time and don't fulfill their purpose will have to come back to live another life to fill that purpose because regardless what that purpose has to be filled now I my brother who committed suicide I was told about him that he had to walk that path of despair he had to feel what it was like to reduce him to suicide because now he is working over there helping souls who come over from suicide so I think everyone has their own purpose and I think there's so much with drug addiction and I think there are too many souls that are leaving early due to this drugs yes and not supposed to leave early definitely but they are gonna have to come back and live another life so it's better to go through everything you have to while you're here and step up to the plate so when you go over you're okay instead of having to I mean you can't be reincarnated I think you can choose to but you have to if you don't fulfill your purpose and that's what I've been told and yes like you said like like say gurus and stuff they come they go over and they do they continue their work from the other side with helping Souls there and here yeah not all souls there they are healthy they need they go there they need healing yeah we see that through the scriptures too and there's a lot of people even in the Christian realm who are getting into some of this because like we see the picture of Jesus going upon the top of Mount Transfiguration and while he was up there he brought Peter James and John with him and he goes up there to pray and meditate and then his appearance changes he turns into his light being form and essentially Moses and Elijah show up and they're speaking with them you know and they got to kind of see what Jesus was doing during his long hours of prayer meditation he's meeting with what the scripture says in Hebrews is the great cloud of witnesses that are just watching over and guiding and guiding us and you know I'm saying rooting us on from the other side so what about your experiences working with the Saints and things like that mother Mary and Jesus and stuff what about your experiences with that incredible you know ever since I was born I I it was like an automatic I've always felt mother Mary with me since the day since the day I can remember she's always been with thee I've always had faith and belief she was there and when I was like I don't know 18 or something I know IRA was raised Catholic though I don't practice the Catholic religion now but I was doing like a novena to mother Mary and asking her for money and in the Catholic religion you're not supposed to ask for money but I did anyway so this novena is a nine days on the eighth day is supposed to receive what you want so on the eighth day that night I had a dream and in the dream I was walking up the street that I grew up on and then and that each hand was a statue of mother Mary and on the bottom of that statue was three numbers when I woke up and I didn't really this is the point you know I didn't know I was a medium or anything I realized I had to play those numbers and I played those numbers and I won and that's I got my money wow that's interesting I've never heard of that term I'm looking up now that's very that was a confirmation for me I was like wow mother Mary I knew you were there but I know you're really there I'm reading this now on Google it says during a novena the devotees make petitions implore favors or obtain graces by worshipping Jesus Christ and asking for intercessions of the Virgin Mary or the saints of the faith in the Catholic tradition much used novena prayers include doctrinal statements in addition to a personal petition this is because Christians are practicing this every Sunday or every day and don't even know it right that's right but this was a time of kind of like you said to kind of separate yourself and maybe fast and things that didn't really focus on it is that something that would what you would do or excuse me when it when you would practice one of these you said you'd there was at an end like an eighth date no there was no fasting and I didn't do them on a regular basis it was it was like I mean I just kind of was this is just before I went to my own alcoholism do you know what I mean so everything was thrown out the window for me it was just you know it was just I just things happened hearing it things were sporadic for me here in there through my life yeah you know so and it just came together after my I think my brother's suicide I was severely depressed over that and I think that try even thought of committing suicide myself I just couldn't take it and I think that itself is brought me to just where I am now all that pain and her oh yeah definitely I always talked about how like I'm able to look back at those dark times the you know the tragedies and just the trauma and and you know demonic possession and things like that like I have a different relationship with those beings now right I'm thankful for their influence and life to chastise me and warn me and teach me and say hey if you stay if you keep doing that we have direct access to you if you stay in that lifestyle you're over here you know so my relationship with them it's changed because my relationship with God I'm able to kind of step back and see almost God just like moving like a chess pieces okay you got to do a little time over here just so that you have that gratitude you have a natural empathy to help those people who are still in that you know you have this natural burden for those who are dealing with alcohol addiction you don't have to act like you care for them like you really do you really want to help those people right so that's that's the beautiful thing from aware but to learn from all of those experiences so with you know that working with different spirits and things like that and the Saints have you ever had and operation which I know you mention apparition but have you ever seen it physically was that something that happened where maybe a beam was in the room or a shadow or something like that well what I see I can see Jesus come in I can see Mother Mary I can see the Saints I can see the Arch Angels but it's almost like a movie in your head is what it is they come like that you know so but and some of them like they started coming in and how I would know them as a statue so I would know who they were so I could recognize them yeah I have apostles come in I have you know there's there's a never-ending list of who comes in we have a question here from the chat Kristy folks wants to know do you believe in ascended masters definitely I believe Jesus is an ascended master definitely he ascended and they called him master that's right there were masters on earth and they ascended and their masters in heaven now you know speaking again of you know all these beautiful encounters and angels and spirits and things like that have you have you ever had any demonic encounters or like you said I know you've you've dealt with some of these souls that were kind of mean or tricksters or things like that oh yeah have you ever had any encounters with anything demonic never had demonic I've only had the mischievious where they come into my energy you know I had one of them wake me up and like whisper in my ear you know and wake up and there they run away like little toddlers you know what I mean like children just like to play around but never demonic because I am surrounded by angels constantly because I work with the angels so I'm always surrounded in light just before I came on the air today an angel that was illuminating and pink came in and said the light of God shines upon you they wanted me to know that prefer us out of this podcast it's shining on me during this podcast telling me so another interesting concept I like to explore is like what do they sound like right or you know I know you have the gift of a second site so you're able to kind of see them as well but for the voices and stuff do you all do you interpret them all the same like or do they have different inflections and different tones when they're speaking how does that how does one it's not different inflections of tones because it's thoughts but it's different feelings of energy thank you they come in with you can be overwhelmed by say an archangel because when they come in they're coming they're like they're 12 feet tall you know and it's just the energy is powerful of mother Mary it's the energy is all different you can just feel it I'm good at feeling energy I and I through that energy I can feel their personalities of anyone who comes through but you've never experienced anything demonic or never know awesome no I I don't think I ever will because I I'm surrounded by angels too much I work with Jesus and Mary so mm-hmm that's not allowed near me what so so you Tama being able to since what they feel like how does Jesus feel when he comes into the room he feels like an old friend it just feels warm and inviting like an old friend and you know I don't get overwhelmed because and I ask that why do and I not get overwhelmed and they said because you need to be at an even keel to do this work so they don't come in overwhelming me that's funny you say that I remember excuse me um early on where after I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit years ago I would be reading the Bible and I would be reading across the passage and then the Holy Spirit would just overtake me and I'd feel the euphoria and the bliss that would just come into the room just by me reading my Bible and I'll just get caught up in it and just start crying and just start praising God right and and I would I told the guy who was disciple of me I said yeah I just thought the Holy Spirit came upon me and I'm like bragging he's like well what do you want to show you he's like he probably you know you need to pay attention to what you were reading in the scriptures because he wanted you to show something but you're so caught up in the euphoria that you can't you know you're not really receiving a message and that's something to that like when we have these encounters with the divine I think a lot of people even in America we get spoiled with it right when they're really trying to show us a message or have us to you know let go of some things or really be changed so I like to really focus on even though I'm into all of these encounters I want to know more about them and and things like that it's like the ones that really define you and change the way that you act and I mean I've had encounters with Christ and in the spirit to where like just at my own devotional time to where days later if anything anybody mentions anything spiritual or Jesus I just started weeping and I'm like vibrating for days you know three days later because the encounter was so it was so beautiful and it changed me to my core so those are the ones I like to focus on man versus it's like oh yeah just because it becomes nonchalant and you never want it to be that you know you always want to be in a place of reverence and respect oh definitely yeah you know not just I have celebrities come to me oh yeah and when that Neverland Ranch documentary came out I didn't watch it I heard all the hubbub here and there about it didn't pay much attention but I've always been a fan of Michael's but uh he started coming to me I never called for him he came in and he gave me his side of the story and I got a whole chapter in my book on it on what he has to say about this yeah that that's interesting I actually watched it and it's when you said at an interview with Tito Jackson yesterday giving his take on the whole thing all right I was surprised at what Michael had to say but uh it's whatever it's you know yeah I have to say his truth he said and he had to do that so he could heal and move forward mm-hmm what so what about as far as like what's the difference between mediumship and channeling now is it like you get the message and then just relay it because some people as far as like channeling goes they will kind of move aside and then let the spirit just kind of speak you know I'm saying their mannerisms change and I'm speaking to you as a doll yeah channeling is letting the spirit into you and speaking through you which I've never done I've always had a little fear of that I don't know why but I had I have a friend who does it but I've always had this little fear so I pretty much just do the mediumship where I relay the message yeah you know maybe one day I'll have that courage to do it but I I don't know what it is when they come too close into my energy they give me anxiety and panic attacks they've got to stay I'm willing to take a message just stay at a distance you know you can create those rules right you just let I'm not cool with that you're invading my personal space yeah oh definitely and if you just say go away you can go away or I'm trying to sleep now everybody please leave my room and they listen you know they do listen just like my guides I have guides I have Agnes who is a elderly nun on my left and I have Joseph on my right and I say okay now I'm gonna do a reading could the mother's family come in on the left side of them and the father's on the right side of them please so I know who's coming in so they all do you know you just got to speak up they listen now you thought you finding your own healing on this personal path of journey and then you know using mediumship to kind of get you to where you are and now you're helping other people like what are some of the examples of like someone who's going through a reading and stuff do they do people get emotional do they find closure do they maybe kick drug addiction what are some of the benefits of doing something like this for other people there is quite a bit of healing for the person who comes in together any but not just for the person sitting in front of me for the soul who's coming forward in spirit it helps both worlds and yes it's it's healing it's finding out information it's people come saw it come in with a reading with guilt like I don't feel like I did enough for you and they leave and they it's just they feel so much better they feel lighter you know it helps them in their lives you know and it's not just to help both worlds it's not just for earth souls both souls now now what about I know this is kind of a different subject but it's still dealing with the spirit realm now what about like any other type of spirits as far as maybe like fairies or gnomes or nature spirits or UFOs or anything like that have you ever had any of those other encounters not UFOs but I have had I had this man come forward to me actually and uh he says because he said he's Merlin Merlin the magician like I have people I had fairies come forward I I mean all these Triton king of the sea I mean I never to me these are fables but they come forward and they say no we're not and I've got in my book like what what treyton says about the healing properties of the sea and you know they all give me a message the ones who come flow in so and it's to help the world so yeah oh yeah I have to come up there was many yeah we've talked to people we've talked to people who have talked about the different angels that are kind of over the different elements like you said this see the different beings that are over the sea clinical Missy's you know even those who were over fire which is very interesting the air things like that which is really cool you know the the plant kingdom even there's so much study when it goes into that in the different levels of angels and entities that are you know concerning that oh definitely definitely yeah it's incredible I can I you know I mean I learned a lot with everyone coming in because I never believed that Merlin was real or even fairies you know any of these Triton or any of that now what about what about the dream state do you find that the angels and the other side communicate with people in their dreams almost definitely most definitely I believe that your loved ones connect to you in dreams and they can visit you and give you a message and they're really there and they definitely angels mother marriage ending they can come in and I think they give you information subconsciously sometimes you wake up and sometimes you're like how do I know this oh you know or you think it your intuition but you were told in the night through your subconscious so oh they definitely do yeah that's a big way because a lot of people are open in that state especially the ones who are really push against it so that's how they get to him yeah I found it you know the dream state Indian like you said the state of subconscious when you're doing something that doesn't require much brain activity right I say driving many people don't you know if you're driving a familiar commute that you drive every day like that drive man there's so much that is that that you're able to receive in those states and uh yes driving using the restroom cutting the grass being okay people jog or shower you're able to kind of receive more than something that you're doing that takes a lot of brain activity I've been told that they fine-tuned my hearing for the spirit world my vision everything while I'm sleeping they change it they put it up levels you know they they do everything while you're sleeping there's a lot they can do now has it has any other been for you just a little bit too overwhelming like have you like been so sensitive they're like you need to turn it off or you need to ground yourself or anything like that we're not connecting to spirit but if they work with me a lot in fine-tuning things I'm exhausted for days you know they just take the energy right out of me but it comes back you know I guess it has to be done so yeah everything's about change now what does it do for you when you give somebody are reading because I find that like doing the Lord's work you you receive just as much healing and you know ministry as well by being one who's able to facilitate the energy or be a clear channel like you receive healing by just helping those do you know yes definitely because every time I give someone a reading and they walk out that door I know I've just helped them and the world of spirit and that is my job because I feel that is my purpose on earth to work for the Lord that's what I do you know and I'm very happy with it if I don't connect to spirit on a daily basis I feel off there's something wrong I have to have that connection yeah I have to communicate with them no I agree with you on that my soul feels that way yep seven days without tapping into the spirit connecting makes one week so we got another question here from chat they want to know do you experience the ringing in the ears as some people say like that vibrational tone that a lot of people hear and a lot of people believe it is concerning angelic contact or even if you meditate and focus upon that tone you know I just the the Christ consciousness event that we did I spoke about the healing power of tones and frequencies and stuff like that and tones have the ability to heal you and cleanse you and different things like that but then some people hear this resonant tone when they get quiet and everything silent it's almost crippling if you get real silent it's like but I've heard if you focus on that you can time travel leave your body some people believe it's the angelic realm trying to get your attention to communicate a focus do you know anything about that well when I connect to spirit I'll actually all I have to do is think of spirit and I get the noise I get is like like the snow on a TV but very fluffy and light and all I have to do is think of spirit or if I try spurple II connect that's what comes in but I do get that really high once in a while and I got it just before we started the podcast so yeah that is definitely spirit saying I'm around the angels anyone I'm around in and we're ready to communicate or do what you need to do to help you melody wants to know do you use crystals I don't know much about crystals I do have some crystals but I do believe in them but I that's something I really need to like you know learn about for sure yeah that's what I was writing about this morning and it's the crystal energy and being able to change your vibration and being able to lift you to a higher frequency crystals holding energy and frequencies within them and different ones do different things and uh I was really relating it back to in the scriptures where you had the priests who had the ephod with the twelve crystals or jewels in them that essentially got them ready to talk to Yahweh got them ready to talk to God by changing the vibrational frequency so crystals are beautiful so yeah beautiful yes yeah you have so you said you're already writing for your next book as well right yes it's not any excuse my kitty cat I am and this book is told to me from spirit it is not a book that I would have chosen to write or anything I would have ever thought I it's going to be about a it's a group of souls coming forward calling themselves the wayward angels and they were people that were on earth and they were all celebrities that passed away and they're some really all they're celebrities people I don't even know and they'd given me messages of things that they went through while they were on earth and they are have formed a group where they are trying that where they are willing to help souls on earth who are going through that similar experience and so whatever else this book is I don't know but this is what I just do whatever they tell me yeah I see you know I seen on your Facebook you're using some cards by I think it's the angel cards by Doreen Doreen Virtue I just do that I do that as a service to the people on Facebook that's all I don't usually use them in my readings my my ratings not connecting to the spirit world what are what are your thoughts and opinions on where she is now with her her work are you familiar yes I don't I mean I don't have know how she can say she was a medium and everything was okay and all of a sudden it's it's no good it's it's the devil it's I don't believe that I believe it's all God and I don't know where she got that mindset from she said she had an encounter with Jesus changer like well I speak to Jesus but he's not telling me anything that this is the devil you know so I don't don't understand it I don't know I think I think should come around is she well I think she will usually I mean cuz we talked about the hell of time like when I came out of some like really dark occultism and demonic summoning and stuff like that I ended up getting demonically possessed right very bad and you know learn my lesson but when I got into Church and I got born again set free I didn't want anything to do with anything that reminded me of the old life of the past life right we don't know what Doreen was going through emotionally within and and in her finding this freedom through Christ she wants to put everything off and so I mean I just lit some incense a while ago it's out now but when I came out of with deep dark witchcraft I couldn't be around incense I thought incense was used to channel spirits and it reminded me of witchcraft stores that we used to go to and you know and so I was just so sensitive and everything was demonic right alcohol is demonic right I'm sure when you come off of alcohol you didn't want to have anything to do with it there's people who can drink a glass of wine with a meal and they're fine it's not so it's different people are in different places and I really feel like Doreen Virtue is kind of like that she's just shiny everything and just demonic her purpose and maybe she needs to go through this to get to somewhere else maybe you know this is what's going on here yeah it's so funny there's a there's another guy god bless his heart his name is Steven bang cars and he's kind of similar you know he was really big into the new-age circles and he was making a lot of money off of people blogging and things like that and I had a really good life blogging about new-age articles and sharing stuff well he had an encounter with Christ and he's renowned install of that stuff and now he's working on the other side just kind of like demonizing anything spiritual anything even the Christian stuff he's just demonizing not all and saying how its new new-age and it's interesting he was just in the chat watching this broadcast so it's a hello to Steve and bang cards if you're still watching a lot of people send me his stuff if it's like he's denouncing crystals or denouncing Christ consciousness or whatever the case and they'll send me his articles and stuff and he was just watching but it's like a natural thing you know you're gonna find people on both sides you're gonna find people who come out of the occult and out of witchcraft and they're gonna do a testimonial telling you everything wrong with it how they got hurt how they were deceived but we're also gonna find videos and testimonials on YouTube where people who left the Christian Church because they were abused and molested and they don't they see the holes in the Bible and they're gonna give you their their take we're gonna see that's gonna be everything under the Sun you're gonna have both in the back I mean there's all sides to everything you know and everyone's got their path I mean whatever during bridge was going through that's her life I don't you know I don't think anything negative typically of her or anything bad I just hope she's happy in her life and you know I mean I don't feel I know this is all the work of God I know that hundred percent you know so I just know yeah I think I think they'll come around I think both of them will come around Steve and and Albie will come around to necessarily New Age ideas but I think there'll be more inclusive by looking into the scriptures and Jesus will teach them the spirituality of the Bible and it's really most of what we've been talking about today falls along those lines of communicating with the spirit realm angels appearing to you in the dream state spirits appearing before you with the message I mean just simply the word angel doesn't necessarily a angelic being sent straight from heaven the word angel simply means messenger and these messengers come in many shapes and sizes and forms the scriptures were that these messengers come out of the fire deliver a message go back into the fire and disappear larger elemental beings like literally I was I I'd go down to this church in my town called st. Anne's at a shrine and I would go down and one day I was there and there was a guy and he came over to me and said do you know where I could find you know like the priests or whatever and so I told them and next week there he is again and he asked the same thing and I looked at him and I said wow man he looks like John the Apostle and this guy he looks so much like John the Apostle and then I kept getting a weird feeling about him week and a half later the area's again walks up to me and says do you know where the groundskeeper is and he put his hand out and he looked at me and he said hi my name is John and the field I just knew I knew I do believe that he was someone who was sent I don't know the reason for it but he was sent three times to make and the third time he introduced himself and I knew as soon as he looked in my eyes and shook my hand that I knew him from somewhere else and I've never seen him again so to me that's they send people I don't know the reasons for things but I believe in it yeah definitely I mean the book of Hebrews says we entertain angels unaware that we don't even know who cross paths with these people you know I think sometimes we just didn't interview the other day was a guy who he talked about these angels would come here but and they would get jobs they would assume names and have ID and go to work and things you know but they were sent here for a message and when a message is done they move on to the next person and the next city but these are angelic messengers that look like humans here on the earth oh definitely definitely they come right into your life to help you they have no problem stepping right in because they're full of love and they want nothing but the best for you and to help you yeah so you know at one time I was driving I mean they the guy your guides help you your guardian angels I was driving to work and I was late and I was doing like 85 miles an hour and then all of a sudden that cop cut me off and when I looked I was in the middle lane when I looked there was cons on each side I was trying to put my brakes I was like oh god I don't know what to do here I was going too fast so my car swerved I lost control and went towards the guardrail so I shut my eyes cuz I didn't want to see myself I said well this is it and then all of a sudden I opened my eyes cuz everything was silent my car was completely stopped without a scratch on it turn it the wrong way in the breakdown lane there was like no one was hit the car wasn't hit I wasn't hit I don't know how it stopped I don't know how I got there but I know later I was told and somewhere was I was told that they were two angels who saved my life because of my purpose on earth so I know they come throughout your life and do things yeah yeah there's a there's a lot of videos and I have to be I have to question them you know I want to make sure they're I don't want to just like that is an angel and that it's really CGI and somebody but there's a lot of videos online where people escape death or the in there's a person who just like walks by and touches a car and stops it and then they disappear like there's some really interesting things that seem to kind of point to the the intervention of angels right and as I watch it and it being a skeptic because I want it I want it to be real but I'm a skeptic I want it to be real when it's like that does that looks fake it looks like CGI but I don't know what an angel looks like on camera appearing I've never seen it you know so I mean that there's a lot of stuff out there some really interesting videos of very similar things like they're happening well of course some of its fake you know that's how people are you know I'm sure some of its real but if one of them is real right I'm sure some of its real yeah yeah out of the thousands if one of them's real oh yeah because they do come they come in angelic form where you can't see them or they come in human form fake I mean that's their job that is no job I mean you have guides everybody has guides that stand there on a daily basis and that's that's your intuition they're guiding you telling you what to do and a lot of people go against their intuition because they're going against their guides as they're trying to guide them in their life and they're like why is my life so messed up well cuz you're not listening to your guide you know but people need to get more in tune with that have a better life know now what about synchronicity as far as like being in sync in everything starting to line up and almost sitting like you've seen numbers that are repeating you're hearing phrases in terms that you've never heard before back to back there's all of these little things that you know people are seeing synchronicity do you find out that that's a way that the Angels communicate as well definitely they communicate with me that way I communicate numbers with me big I've been getting for a long time now five five five five five all over the place because that means changes are coming for me and I truly believe that's coming and when they're around me and I like it fun I mean I'm human I go days I feel down and I'm like you know and I get four four five fours that's them like hey we're with you you know don't worry about it we're with you so yeah definitely oh yeah most definitely even like a like a butterfly when I see a butterfly and it's my mother trying to tell me that's what it's not her it's like she puts a butterfly in my path to say hey I'm around because sometimes you feel like you need that you feel lost you know yeah my wife is the same way with hummingbirds she every time she sees a hummingbird she's reminded of her grandmother and believes that they're you know she appears in dreams as a hummingbird and things like that too so just to let you know hey we're here mm-hmm you know I mean I'm a medium but hey I still miss my mother and my brother and you know I mean I know they're okay but you still miss him mm-hmm definitely well her book is from dark to light a memoir of spiritual awakening you can get that at her website it's dawn Barlow medium.com correct yep or amazon.com either way there's the book with the big butterfly come around the tunnel I will link it in the show notes where you guys can just get it here off the page as well so Don Barlow thank you for coming on the podcast I've really enjoyed this discussion thank you so much Marie I'll have to do it again when you do the next book get witnaur we'll talk about it all right all right have a good day my friend thank you so much Tom Barlow ladies and gentlemen man awesome yeah her her nephew who believe it is Christopher Barlow Polo's the white hip-hop artist he sent me her information and checked out the podcast a couple times and yeah so shout out to you brother thank you for setting that up it made for a really good discussion that's awesome man just the different things that people bring to the table and I'm still learning I still have ideas that anybody who think that they have arrived any of these people we've mentioned who have it all figured out run from those people like again we've just been talking about the quote Jordan Maxwell says it all the time never trust the person who claims to have the truth but always trust the person who's seeking the truth I really believe that man that there's a there's a there's a way to say someone who is pompous they have it all figured out they they are unteachable and they're not here to learn they're just here to teach you got to be wary man to be wary of those people who who have it all figured out you know there's a weird there's a weird thing that it's a weird comfort to think that you do to think that everything that you believe is right that what you've experienced I've led use it to this and without a doubt this is the only way and to you it is because of you to you and to your mind it is if you go outside of those boundaries that you've set for yourself you're into demonic territory you're deceived or whatever these are the boundaries this is part of that straight and narrow path that you were on the part of your highway to holiness right and it's only it sees it this way and if I falter a little bit to the left or to the right then I'm done for and people make those own boundaries within their mind they they make it because of their own experience and then they couple it with the Bible in the Word of God so there's these boundaries that they have and mind you each one of these people who have it all figured out their boundaries and their beliefs in their things that they allow and the things that they believe in they're all different those people don't agree again they fight within their own sex I mean there's tons of Christian videos of exposing other ministers and pointing fun at their belief systems and doctrines and theologies and stuff and letting you know why they have the complete truth while they have it all figured out when we're we are ever growing we are ever seeking ever learning coming to the knowledge of the truth to think that we have it all figured out I really do think that we are deceiving ourselves and so yeah I I really I've kind of made it my thing I won't learn under somebody who claims to have it all figured out there's just something as an arrogance there you know and nobody's there but to really find somebody that you're learning under or learning with who is teachable I mean for me like I'm still man there's just so many different realms and perspectives of the spirit world and in God and and you know what the truth is concerning that matter not like the truth but just simply the the truth concerning that matter you know what I'm saying I get I get made fun of sometimes by my Christian friends by the because of my name truth seeker truth seeker right they they make fun of me and say oh you still they found the truth yet the truth is Jesus just search seek Jesus yeah it's the truth for a lot of things but what about the rest of the truths what about other things that God has put within us that we're interested in you know what I'm saying and God has lit this fire within you to focus on to seek after but other people have called evil or wicked again we're going back to like I can pretty much sum up the majority of this conversation with scriptures I really can I can show you in in the Bible where the majority of what we've been talking about is in the scriptures I don't need to but for some people they need that but then for some people they still won't get it it ain't for them at or for this time you're not gonna grasp a concept you're not gonna grasp a doctrine or a law until the Holy Spirit reveals it to you I could tell you this I'm blue in my face and try to explain this to you and what it means and what it means to me and what it means to the world and what that means to Christendom in the Bible but if the Holy Spirit has not revealed it to you and you're just saying don't get it I'm sorry you have to go through experience it's a form of gnosis which is knowledge gained through experience I can't just simply tell you what it is some things you just got to learn for yourself sometimes you just got to learn to quit judging folks why because people judge you and you know how that feels you got to quit being mean to people why because people are being mean you say you have to go through this and God has a beautiful way of lining all that up for you the author and finisher of our faith of us going through this stuff and learning from our mistakes learning from our past and our failures and hopefully learning from the past the mistakes and failures of others being able to look at their life and see what they're going through and just maybe maybe show a little grace just maybe maybe show a little mercy because I really do believe that that is the message of Christ love the unlovable show grace to those who don't really seem to deserve it show grace to him right because that's the only thing that we can do is show the same grace that has been shown to us and be more tolerant quit acting like a know-it-all pride cometh before fall and once you're on that high horse you're gonna be knocked off by the blinding light of the Holy Spirit pride that is the universal law it's biblical pride cometh before falling just as the Apostle Paul who Jesus appeared to him as a bright light literally knocked him off his high horse it said Paul Paul why you persecuted me like why are you doing this and you see yourself there say man I've been attacking I've been running from I've been persecuting the very thing that I need it then there's reasons this insecurities right we don't we want to feel secure in our faith we want to hope that the things that we're studying the things that we've not only given our life to but we've given our eternity to right if you've not only given your life to this but you've trusted your eternity to a pastor to a doctrine or whatever it is you're gonna fight tooth and nail for that to be right cuz you're not gonna be mocked for this life you're gonna be mocked for eternity if you're wrong and so there's just weird fear that to fight tooth and nail for the belief system sometimes you got to let that stuff go there's a huge piece man that came upon me when I say you know what I don't know and I gave up my right to be right and I quit arguing with people I quit being real combative over doctrines you know and things like that it was a peace that surpasses all understanding when I was just in this place of rest rest look this is my truth this is what I've learned if it can help you good if it can't whatever you know what I'm saying so I talked to these people on the podcast and I see what's working for them you know see what's where I can see if we can apply it to our lives just something man something at the end of the day being more graceful to people and I say that it's led me the to two notable people that I wanted to talk about which is kind of falls under the same lines especially in Christendom recently this week Kanye West's this subpath Sunday went in lead worship or not really worth it led praise at a church in Atlanta and he's got his big choir now he's putting out a new album called Jesus as king and it's all about the scriptures and in the hope of that we have in Christ he's pretty much doing a gospel album and he's always shared his faith in Christ whether it was coming you know from the song jesus walks which is a beautiful song or I mean the song reborn that he has with a kid cudi on kids see ghost which is really one of my favorite songs reborn by Kid Cudi looked that up and we see his love for Christ throughout his music obviously he's manic and he's bipolar and going through things but most geniuses are right and so there's a lot of scrutiny against him in church leading praise and stuff like that and in any time these these celebrities do that I mean Justin Bieber's leading worship at a Hillsong Church last week as well beautiful voice if some beautiful music you can look it up there's a remix somebody made of Justin Bieber singing reckless love if you look up the remix they took his vocals and just put it to a a beat what's wrong with this - like a EDM beat and it's amazing Justin Bieber singing reckless love singing worship songs to Christ it's beautiful but people judge them you know I'm saying they look at that and you see it and they judge and it just can't have it you know we trying to be like the world you got people stuck in a ways because they because their faith this is something that's delicate to them they don't want to give it up man you thought you mean to tell me my faith is it's similar to what Kanye is doing or Kanye can live the way that he's living and still share my faith you know so people get possessive men they get possessive about that stuff same thing with Justin Bieber you know anything that's just outside of what they believe and I'm telling what God is so much bigger than anything that we can write down in a book right whether it's the Bible I mean Jesus said look there's so much that I want to show you but you guys aren't even ready to receive it what if he would have wrote it down in the book but then we could debate on it then we can maybe accept it as dr. doctrine but like there's so much that his the closest ones to him that they would probably believe anything he said you know what I'm saying and he said look there's some things that I can't even show y'all cuz I'm gonna scare you right then when you find out Jeremiah 33:3 that the law it has things that he wishes to show us that he hasn't shared with a soul nobody knows these things but if you draw away in the secret place of prayer and meditation sit in silence and get with God he's willing to whisper things to you about the mystery of eternity the mystery of the gospel the mystery of your Anatomy I mean whatever your heart's desire is is the whole thing is like not to seek it by other means but go directly through God because you have access see that's what Christ gave you access to that he torn the veil in between us and God that was the law and the commandments and these we had to sacrifice this and do that and prepare this and wash yourself seven times in the waters of Lake Minnetonka whatever like Jesus ripped that veil in between us and God now we have free access to him now we can go within and commune with the Father because the kingdom of heaven is within you and nobody can take that from you nobody can put stipulations on that no matter where you are what part of the earth you're in you can close your eyes and you can go in and you can commune with the Father and he points to love he points to Jesus God is love Jesus is love incarnated into a man it all starts to make sense starts connecting the dots and starts seeing all of the stuff phrasing terminology know the term medium isn't in the Bible you got a medium on your show man no it's not in the Bible Facebook ain't in the Bible cars ain't in the Bible like check in the count that's not we got all of these things do you want them to be scripturally back again we can use the different words and terminologies and phrases people want to like reestablish the Old Covenant and all this kind of stuff hey I used to be one of them you know we are different people man you know what I'm saying but the principles and the analogies and the allegories that's forever that will always apply no matter who you are to the Jew to the Greek it applies to everyone if you apply the precepts of what the Scriptures is trying to say of what God is trying to communicate through love it'll work for everybody God is not and it's a respecter of persons right so I wanted to speak about that and speak about Kanye West but also Benny Hinn which kind of made made the news recently as well so Benny Hinn went viral from this video he just put out renouncing the prosperity gospel and so a lot of people live kind of like as far as the heresy hunters are concerned have like pointed fingers at Benny Hinn and you know called him a false prophet and false teacher and stuff like that but honestly I'm telling you like Benny has got some really deep stuff like Benny Hinn knows some stuff even stuff he's not I believe that he's not sharing with the public I doubt he watched interviews where he'll allude to things and they'll try to ask him for more but he'll just kind of back up here kind of back up so like his his work has really been near and dear to my heart what's that book it's a really good book good morning Holy Spirit which is a book that's really change changed my life early on about intimacy with God and fellowship and with the Holy Spirit but again he just went viral because he denounced the prosperity gospel pretty much asked for forgiveness and said that he couldn't speak against it because everyone in his and his circles you know work the prosperity people and Benny Hinn's taught it for a while but he's coming out of it he said he don't want to be judged he don't want to get to heaven and be turned away you don't want to be chastised you know I'm saying for fleecing the people you know so it was very interesting so everybody's got something to say right so I see it was something like that kind of gets get some it gets big I've watched other notable ministers namely was I can't think of her name right off oh my goodness but there's other ministers who were now denouncing Benny Hinn because he denounced the prosperity gospel and it's not that that you're not supposed to be prosperous she's supposed to prosper in everything that you do and even as your soul prospers right it takes money to do this stuff this doesn't exist without money some of these levels these people are doing their ministry to and television and stuff like that doesn't happen without money but there's definitely a right way in a wrong way and Benny Hinn's kind of confessed that look we've done this kind of wrong we've let this thing consumers and so yeah props and shout out to Benny Han for kind of seeing whether it was the error the error of his ways or coming to a new revelation of knowledge of what he was teaching like it could be one scripture or one download from the Holy Spirit that really changes his paradigm and he said it look the things I what I believed about the Bible in the way I read the Bible today is not how I read the Bible 20 years ago how many people can can attest to that maybe not 20 years ago maybe maybe a week ago like whatever learning and things are changing and some things that we read over in the Bible we have no idea what it means we read it and we just keep reading then you may watch a movie you may read another book that kind of reiterates it and then the next time you read that scripture boom you you and it all makes sense it all fits together cohesively I mean I remember the whole tithing thing times and offerings and if you don't tithe then God was gonna take his money and you oh god tithes and you owe him that tenth and if you don't give that tenth God will take it he'll find a way to take it he'll heal your car will break down amen you're so like I remember this this fear doctrine that came about that we were taught in church that if we weren't able to give 10% of every paycheck to the church then God would find a way to take it from you because you owed it to him like that was crazy that was like this fear thing that we were under and we believed it we lived our lives accordingly we may so we gave that 10% and if we didn't have it we would take notes and say look we Oh God you know $30 next week so we had to add $30 on to what we already owed and we started racking up a debt and you look at God like this angry mob stir like man you better you better have my money you ain't getting us how these preachers be you got my money and we believed it but the Bible don't it's not speaking about that those prophecies aren't to you it could be one scripture that you read that makes everything make sense that was a scripture that's quoted up in the book of Malachi chapter 4 but little did we know in the preacher's quote that all the time God said test me in this area if you test me in this one area I think I will rebuke the Devourer over your life and above about all of these things we hear in these these offerings and things and uh I didn't think to read to go that back and read the beginning of the chapter this is like us obscure verse at the end of four chapters it's one little place and then I go back to let us say let me get a great a greater understanding and reading the scriptures and I go back and read Malachi one two three and then four and then I find out at the beginning of each of these chapters this is the prophecy against the Levite priest this these books are addressed to somebody like this is a prophecy in a warning addressed to someone but the pastor's will read it and say that it's talking about you like this is for you it's like what it's for me you're reading a prophecy against someone else and putting it on me that's a curse you just put a curse on me that's witchcraft that's manipulation to turn the scripture and make it say something that it don't say for you to gain off of it I could say if you just ill-informed but now you're gaining and some people know it like they know that it says that but they continue to do it because that's one of the greatest ways to get money they won't the people won't give just because they move what can you gotta make them give you gotta shake them you gotta shake that money out of them we've been to some weird churches man and I've seen some weird tactics on how to get money people and they're really good at it like they're really good at it whether it's selling a blessing or you know Benny Hinn's been a part of that that's why he's drawn back like if you get fifty eight dollars for fifty eight months you receive the blessing of Isaiah 58 I hold up with it what y'all just made this up and you preach it and you got a suit on and you're very eloquently spoken and you got money and we want money you know we want to have our bills taken care of so we got to listen to the wisdom of the man of God you find out that these people look it's crazy we I had some friends over we've been talking about the documentary that came out called Marjo Marjoe Gortner and he was a child minister he was four years old and he was doing wedding services marrying people at four years old his parents raised him up and this little boy he grew up in it and then he was a novelty act and so they would travel and everyone would want to come out to tent revivals and see Margo the minister it's just a babying you preaching the Word of God and uh and and people would give and he there was tactics and things that his parents taught him they work all signals as his parents were on stage and he was doing his thing his parents would say praise God and that meant you have the people where you where you want him take an offering if they say Amen brother that means you're getting off a little bit you need to pull it back in and they would have these different call signals and stuff that they would tell the little boy and he learned this stuff as a kid and he grew up in it and uh and as he became older he departed from the faith he was just honest and said look I don't believe like I don't believe in this stuff you guys were made me a slave like I I'm earning y'all's paychecks and he just didn't believe so he got out of that and he got into the hippie movement back in the 70s and he started doing his own thing but then again he had to go out and get a job so after you've been preaching and doing all of this stuff your whole life he don't know how to dig ditches he don't know how to frame houses and and work you know with his hands so the only thing he knew how to do was to put on a show and be a be a preacher a traveling evangelist so he did that again as someone who didn't believe but he was just really good at it he was really good at it so he goes out there and he he's preached him but then he gets convicted like there's something going on in his heart it's like you know what this ain't right I don't believe this stuff but so he hot he wanted to be an actor so he hired a film crew to follow him and he did one last tour where he went to all these different churches and stuff and and essentially performed he was a great performer just got a feel film crew to come with them and he's on camera he's showing you everything that he does and showing you how to collect the money he's showing you how to how he would sleep with different women and from different cities and he would never mess with any of the girls at the at the revivals he would also always try to get a woman on the plane he would give you all these tactics and showing you how we did it and then that night it would show him preaching and getting the crowd riled up and people catching the Holy Spirit and falling out and stuff like that and so he showed you what what that looked like but he exposed himself he said look this I'm just doing this for you guys I'm showing y'all and after this I'm done and he showed you what it was look like and uh so there's kudos to that person you know and there's a lot of people who were very similar there's different tactics and things that they do to get money and to shake people I remember going to one church they wouldn't let you out unless you put something in the plate I disturbed by the door and you couldn't get out the church we were visitors and we had to put something in there even if I mean the kids would only have quarters like give them three quarters and they put in there you know but the person watch what you put in there but it was just like their tradition was give us an offering to leave the building and I walked ride to walk out the door and the lady stood in front of me and held her hand out with it with the offering and I grabbed a hand and I shook it into the wall right I said well I ain't got no money mate I'm a guess you know but he expected us to give him I mean so many different things as far as like you know there's a there's ten people the Lord spoke to my heart and there's ten people here who are supposed to give a hundred dollars each and we are not to move until those ten people come forth and they'll sit there and they'll wait and people are looking around and it gets really awkward and the scripture says when upon you're given you should not be moved by compulsion this shouldn't be tricked into giving you should be given out of out of out of the you know the abundance of your heart given because you've been moved by the message given because you believe in something right not given because you're given to get there one church I was giving to get out you couldn't get out we've seen some really interesting things man and so again just that that whole tangent it's like understanding the scriptures and understanding that study to show yourself approved man the scriptures here to liberate you to set you free to give you a new life and life more abundantly not to put you into bondage as again unto fear as many are man this is the gospel of Liberty that's the gospel of grace of freedom and uh that's that's that's I'm not in it for the income I'm in it for the outcome and that's what we're supposed to be man that man if we if we believe God and trust him at his word man he's faithful and just to finish the work in which he started it's one that I believe the Bible is the most powerful book on the planet and if we will if we were adhere to the teaching and in the meanings behind those stories and how they overcame their enemies and how they showed love when they at the time it was probably proper for them to show to show wrath you know what I'm saying but they showed love and so they passed that test and get to go to those deeper levels in Christ man it's good I guess the powerful the word is sharper than any two-edged sword able to to decipher between soul and spirit as one is reading the scriptures you're essentially looking in into a mirror reading that the secrets and the desires of your heart and God knows it and it's beautiful so if you read it with with that in mind as you're reading you can search out the depths of God and he'll show you who you are he'll speak to your heart and show you what you're called to do other people read it because they're ready to combat it see the Bible is sharper than any two-edged sword they use it for swordplay and stabbing other Christians right they fight other people with the scriptures we've been guilty of it man I've done it that's why I'm speaking on it if I haven't spoke on it if I haven't done it I wouldn't speak on it right there's wisdom to learn you know so with that being said man oh man I enjoyed this conversation and you know I'm saying looking forward to
