uh
hey good morning
hey much love to you too joey god bless
you man
hey good morning guys good morning
good morning
so um
i want to make a quick video to uh with
you guys good morning good morning
trying to wait for uh
everyone to get here hey stanley god
bless you brother
good to see you good to hear from you
um
i wanted to just give a few updates
for those of you who have noticed my
voice is hoarse because
i have this crazy thing that happens
sometimes where if i eat
anything acidic
sometimes i will wake up in the middle
of the night
uh with like really bad acid reflux i do
eat some tums or something before i go
to sleep but
i'll wake up at night this happens every
once in a while where i will wake up in
the middle of the night with uh
the stomach acid like
i guess refluxing i don't know if that's
a word into my mouth or my throat or
whatever and i'll wake up startled and i
will go
like that and take a deep breath and uh
then i will like
somehow get the stomach acid in my lungs
and it's a very very very
awful thing i don't even know exactly
how it happens but
yeah it's really bad acid reflux but it
gets into my lungs and i think that's
the worst part and last night it's
probably the worst it's ever been
and uh it's very very very painful and i
was up for about two hours in the middle
of the night
coughing all of this stomach acid out of
my lungs feel like i was i honestly
thought i was gonna have to go to the
doctor or the hospital or something but
um
we did some like aromatherapy and it's
not covet symptom i don't have covet
it's literally acid reflux
um
this is something that's been going like
any time i eat acidic food over the last
two or three years so
anyway that's why i'm hoarse i'm better
now so
um wanted to check in with you guys
though
because um
i wanted to see how you all are doing
and haven't
uh heard from you in a while because we
haven't been on the live in i guess a
week or so
so
these i'm gonna have to turn the
comments off i'm so distracted but i
wanted to check in with you guys um i
have a lot of videos i could post
and there's so many preaching videos i
could post with you guys but i've seen
that the uh the the views on the
preaching videos are down a lot so
and i actually think that people are
more interested right now in this period
of time
with the live videos and the
encouragement videos and all of those
things so
maybe we'll focus on that for a while
um
because i've seen that if i post the
preaching videos i still have so many
like i said to post
it's just very low i think you guys get
the idea by now that we've preached in
many places in many different
uh settings and many different formats
and
you know i think the
the point has been made get out there
and preach the gospel
and so i'm just not going to post
all these other videos that i have i
just think that if there's something
really good and this i'm not going to
keep it like this forever but if there's
something really good i want to share
with you guys i'll share with you
um there's testimonies i'll just get on
the live video and talk about that but
either way i'm not going to be posting
at least for the the next few months
every single preaching video that we
have
yeah i laura i i can tell you know um
i think we're going to focus more on
that
we do have some updates as far as like
some ideas that we're going to be
working on especially with bia
i do think that there is some shadow
banning going on for sure because my
view count is way low but my view count
has been way low for like
a couple of years now i think people are
just not watching the videos i guess
it's just like you know it's like oh hey
it's another preaching video like and
and i get it i'm not i'm not upset about
it
uh isaac you were saying that you used
to have acid reflux god delivered your
man
would love to hear your testimony uh
email me torch of christ gmail.com
i did pray last night
um
but i do think that
you know i do think that there's some
other things going on hopefully i can i
can figure it out and come i think
there's some type of systemic issue
that's causing it and because i also i
think some of you know i have like
swallowing issues or have difficulty
swallowing uh food
and it gets lodged in my esophagus and i
kind of
i always have to have a bottle of water
next to me when i'm eating food because
no matter what it is whether it's fruit
or
vegetables or bread or rice rice and
bread are the worst especially if it's
abrasive and doesn't really like
disintegrate very well it gets stuck in
my throat and i have a lot of issues so
um
anyway um this is stuff that's been
going on for years though and i thank
god you know god is our healer we've
been praying for healing so i've had
people pray over me as well so
yeah smoothies are good i think we're
going to start doing stuff like that i
think i'm going to start me and b are
going to start doing some kind of
cleanse well you know we want to be
fasting more often as well but even when
we're not fasting we want to be
i think really just eating like strictly
healthy for a while
uh the big thing that causes problems
with the
uh with the acid refluxes tomatoes
anything i i eat with tomato sauce or
anything like that tomatoes are like my
worst enemy
so uh what else do i have my friend is
um
is really in trouble right now please
pray his name is gideon he's the father
of a really good friend of mine
um
my friend sudarshan
his real name is jagadesh
he is in india he's the one who heads up
all of our india distributions
evangelism outreaches everything torture
of christ
church of christ india
he's the guy and he is one of my best
workers he is amazing he's a man of god
he's honorable he's always honest i i
fully believe in his integrity
and uh anyway he's a he's a
very good friend and his father the
other day was bit but bitten by um
what's called a russell's viper it's one
of the most poisonous vipers or snakes
in india
and uh he needs your prayers right now
his name is gideon
uh if you go on the facebook page torch
of christ ministries on facebook you can
see his full name but please pray for
him because uh surashan is saying that
it's it's really bad the swelling is not
going down the poison's eating his flesh
and in his leg is really in a bad spot
and it seems like
my friend hasn't said it it seems like
his life is really at risk
so please pray for him he's an elderly
gentleman he's a wonderful man of god
i've been to india twice i've stayed
with them both times i was there
it's one of my favorite places in the
world to go even though i don't think
i'll be able to return to india in the
future because
hindu groups have
reported me
to the india very very professionally
actually reported me to the indian
authorities for
going there and doing work and not
having you know the hindu government
they don't allow you to do anything
there so you kind of have to go
a little bit under the radar and uh not
really allowed to go back to india but
with that sir i don't want to even risk
it i don't want to go to india and then
to show up on the list because reading
the complaint i guarantee you something
happened with it so regardless beside
the point
this family is amazing they've been
helping my brother sudashan for years
now get his ministry up and running and
um they're very very good people and i
really just i'm pleading with you to
pray for him today pray for his healing
pray for god to bless their families
they've been going through some
difficult times especially pseudo-sean
and uh it's you know it's something
we i'm not asking you to do anything
except pray just pray that's the only
thing prayer is everything so
that's really it
um
i have to leave here in a second i got
about two minutes i gotta leave from
this video but i just wanna say please
um
continue to pray for torch of christ
ministries pray for my family if you can
god bless you i pray that the lord would
be with you
in all that you do and that you would
begin to walk in your purpose and begin
to walk in the fullness of god's plan
for your life
we are living in a very uh crazy time
but a very blessed time i know my family
is feeling very blessed right now with
some huge answer prayers and
breakthroughs and
i i've shared it with you before
with that said i once again want to say
thank you to all of you who saw the the
previous video that we had made and who
reached out to us and all the the
support that you gave us we really
appreciate that so much and we
uh we're so grateful we don't want to
understand that we're so grateful so
thankful
uh we are also very hopeful for what is
happening in the united states right now
with the potential
um
change coming through the supreme court
to overturn roe versus wade and all of
these things that are allowing uh
abortion to be rampant in the united
states of america we want these things
to be
uh i guess you would call it repealed or
something like that and we want abortion
access to be taken away
uh so that
babies are protected and are given the
best
outcome to have a blessed and prosperous
life we even need pray for the united
the united states of america is one of
the most difficult countries
to actually uh adopt a baby it's
expensive you gotta hire lawyers i don't
know anything about it really but i've
talked to other people who have done it
and they say it's very expensive
thousands of dollars to adopt a child
but it's so cheap to kill one and and i
don't understand that so
pray for the the the laws to be changed
or something here in the united states
for children who want to be adopted
obviously all of them want to be adopted
who can
i can speak that better but
for children who need to be adopted that
people who want children who want to
adopt
that they're able to do it more easily
we still want a good system of checks
and balances but we want families who
are good families who who are able
and that cps and all these adoption
agencies would no longer be these secret
fronts for children to be taken out of
the system and systematically abused
tortured killed sacrificed whatever it
might be
and instead that their lives would be
protected and that they would be given
hope and and all these good things
that's what we want to pray for the
united states of america that these laws
will be changed adoption
would be more prevalent and accessible
and that abortion would be abolished
and and this is what we put our hope in
so a lot of changes come in the united
states i'm really putting my hope and
faith in that that god's gonna work a
miracle here um
man i want planned parenthood to go out
of business
and if they say that it's about
reproductive health they are liars
um
god will judge them
and uh that's you know that's that's the
bulk of it you know god's already spoken
he's already talked about how he's
bringing judgment against these
organizations and agencies and and i
pray that those who are running these
things will be brought to justice and
not only will they lose their jobs but
that they will be um you know held that
it will be criminalized to even uh
assist in these things that's what my
hope is if you're helping someone get an
abortion
um
it should be a criminal act
that is
my true feelings about it
anyway um
that's one little aspect if you're just
now joining us go back watch the
beginning of the video if you can god is
faithful we love you guys i'll check in
with you here again soon i have to go
have an appointment that i have to be at

father gideon and i'll see you the next
