My name is Everett I grew up in a non-Christian home just outside of San Francisco California
throughout my life I really didn't even think much about God didn't even think much about spiritual
things it was mostly just sports friends school I really started exploring things in high school as
I started to wonder are is what we learn in school that we come from apes that we came from a random
explosion billions of years ago the big bang theory are does this really explain reality that
we live in and I began to investigate and read and philosophy and explore different belief systems
I was fascinated with the mind and psychology and mental health things because there's such a
you know a pandemic of mental health issues I began to meditate in a buddhist way of emptying
my mind clearing my mind to relax because I was really just seeking the best way to heal
psychology as I started to research it and study it I realized there's a cap on what
psychology can explain because where did the mind come from where did we come from you know
if God is real then clearly that's an important element of somebody's mental health
I ended up going to college in Colorado at Boulder which is one of the actual hot spots of
new age yoga studios everywhere you know healing psychics meditation area like it was incredible
it's not only naturally gorgeous but I saw like a spiritual value to it so I went there and I began
to get even deeper into these new age philosophies which is really just ancient religions ancient
spiritualities mostly from the east packaged and branded in a new scientific psychology
way traveled to China traveled to thailand to study in Qigong and studying yoga
and Muay Thai martial arts I was I was exploring I was trying to find
the truth and when I found the truth I wanted to go fully for it
throughout this time there was one guy who actually was Christian that I knew about
and I had totally forgot about him but I was one day at lunch with my friend and I got a facetime
call in this facetime call I look at it and I'm like who is this guy his name's Luke I'm like he's
in my contacts but I didn't really think much of it and I go home later that day and I message him
because I realize oh my gosh this is the guy freshman year who said do you believe in God
I was like huh why is he calling me and I texted him and he's like dude I didn't I didn't facetime
me number one and number two I don't facetime people at all and you're many years back in my
text like I don't know how that happened and I'm like okay maybe this is the universe guiding me to
study Christianity so I did Bible study with this guy for multiple months and he was just preaching
the raw gospel to me you know the wages of sin is death Jesus Christ came and lived a perfect
sinless life died on the cross that we might believe in Him and have eternal life and I thought
it was just a fairy tale I thought the Bible was just a fairy tale but he was an incredible guy
such an honest guy and I truly believe he was not lying to me when he said that about the facetime
time goes on I'm like hey I'm going to study by myself I start realizing there are the spiritual
reality that we live in there are other beings the spirit guides they call them in the new age
they're guiding you to higher consciousness to ascend your soul through the lifetimes
of this existence because reincarnation is one of the core beliefs of eastern spiritualities found
a guy online named Bob Larson who's casting out demons in Jesus name and I was like whoa this is
this is pretty incredible like there's clearly something going on here and
this guy's got some supernatural abilities because I was training in psychic things astral projecting
deep meditation all these different types of things because I wanted to grow
in my psychic abilities to be able to help people that was the whole
motive the intention to be able to help people with these supernatural abilities and I saw this
guy online I'm like this is incredible he's using this crucifix and he's saying Jesus but
I think maybe there's something else here and I started seeing actual demons tormenting people in
real life when I was trying to help people guide people help people heal give them advice and such
and it came to a point where there was a moment where this person who had demonic torment
actually manifested a demon right before me and this demon was literally speaking to me
but all my meditation all my light skills all my you know different energy I thought I harnessed
wasn't working it was just laughing at me and I just remember in my mind like say Jesus say
Jesus but I didn't say Jesus I didn't want to be seen as like some Jesus freak literally
this experience really shocked me because it wasn't just okay is this maybe bipolar is this
maybe a schizophrenic disorder is this maybe a dissociative identity can psychology explain
this or is this a literal demon that I was talking to from another dimension
like through the person because this whole concept was so new to me and so incredible
I needed to know Bob Larson happened to be in my town in a month I saw a seminar
the power of God was literally displayed people were set free one woman literally had the same
demon I thought that this person had in my experience cast out of them and the coincidences
were just adding up I was like man the universe is really guiding me into this and I meet with
Bob Larson one on one and he tells me the raw gospel again and during this we're debating all
these religions spiritualities for 45 minutes and during this I just start to feel this sense of
sin I started feeling the greed in my heart I started feeling the lust I started feeling
the deceit inside of me and I knew that like is this really the truth Jesus Christ
just believing in him and you're saved and you have eternal life just the simple fact
it was just this knowing that came upon me but it was a decision to believe it was a decision to
make that choice to believe and I told Bob I said I'm ready and he led me through a simple prayer
and at the end of this prayer I literally began to just weep and wail and crying almost at the
top of my lungs louder than I've cried in 10 plus years of my life and everyone was hugging me and
around me everyone was crying and it was the most powerful experience because I was feeling
God's love and God's forgiveness over me and all of my guilt and all of my like I'm sorry
I'm sorry God was just instantly forgiven and He's shown me where He was in my life and where I had
you know refused to listen to that voice and how He'd been guiding me and everything was up to that
point and it was just the most powerful experience I've ever had more powerful than any psychedelic
experience and so much healing took place there is it was the most beautiful thing in my life
in those time that time period after I decided to give my life to Christ and now today I'm serving
here at HungryGen with the whole HungryGen family I'm married to an amazing wife and
my life has just been so more healing has taken place as I've sought God and sought the scriptures
of the Bible than any new age modality than any psychedelic drug than any sort of meditation or or
you know hypnosis soul type thing psychology methods anything just seeking after God and I want
to tell you if you were engaged in similar belief systems or similar ideas about the world and
you're really with a good heart just seeking truth and you're seeking healing and you're seeking
the right way to live I want to tell you Jesus Christ is the way He is the truth and He is the
life it's all in Him the Bible says that in Him all things consist everything you need
is in Jesus Christ and if you want to make that decision today to follow Jesus to say
hey I want to decide to follow the truth because the Bible says if you confess with your mouth that
Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead you will be saved
if you want to make that decision today just repeat after me say Lord Jesus
come into my life I confess you as Lord of my life and I believe that You raised from the dead
and died for my sins show me your way show me the truth and reveal who I am in you from this
day forward I decide to follow you with all that I have into eternity in Jesus Name I pray Amen.
