Introduction: Sylvia and Sterling's Journey
00:00:02
Speaker
Welcome to the Saved by Grace podcast, bringing you stories of hope, restoration, and God's faithful love.
00:00:09
Speaker
I'm your host, Sylvia Puentes.
00:00:14
Speaker
Hi, and welcome to another episode of Saved by Grace.
00:00:18
Speaker
I'm your host, Sylvia Puentes, and today I'm so excited to have
00:00:23
Speaker
Sterling Harris on the show.
00:00:25
Speaker
Sterling is a former NFL player.
From Religion to Relationship with God
00:00:29
Speaker
He was a federal prisoner, and he's also the author of How to Hear God's Voice, 10 Ways God Speaks.
00:00:39
Speaker
Sterling is going to share his powerful testimony with us today of finding God and going from religion to relationship.
00:00:50
Speaker
Sterling, welcome to Saved by Grace.
00:00:53
Speaker
Oh my goodness.
00:00:53
Speaker
Thank you so much, Sylvia.
00:00:55
Speaker
It's an honor to be on this platform, an honor to be on your show.
00:00:59
Speaker
I know when we first spoke and we kind of did the discovery meeting, it lasted like an hour and you can just tell that you're a person that's been with Jesus and met Jesus personally.
00:01:10
Speaker
And I'm also one of those people that not only have I met Jesus and do I meet him on a daily basis personally, but I live my life in a way that tries to empower others
00:01:22
Speaker
to encounter the real Jesus on a personal basis and move from religious duty or maybe even just no spirituality at all to a spiritual connection with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Finding Fulfillment Beyond Success
00:01:37
Speaker
Oh my gosh.
00:01:38
Speaker
Amen.
00:01:39
Speaker
You're speaking my language, Harris.
00:01:40
Speaker
I mean, Sterling, I'm sorry.
00:01:43
Speaker
So I love your testimony because, you know, one thing is you grew up in a Christian home with Christian foundation.
00:01:54
Speaker
However, that doesn't always mean that you know Jesus.
00:02:00
Speaker
I would say, Sylvia, that you look at the statistics and I guess you can make numbers say what you will, but it is alarming that a lot of people that grew up in the church, quote unquote, have left the church and a lot of them have left
00:02:18
Speaker
a relationship with Jesus because they were introduced to a religion and religious duty and rules and not a true spiritual relational connection with God.
00:02:31
Speaker
And that's what Jesus modeled was a real intimate relational connection with the father through the power of the Holy Spirit.
00:02:40
Speaker
And it's unfortunate that people have not experienced that a lot of times in the church as a whole, as a big C church worldwide.
00:02:52
Speaker
But people like yourself and myself and so many others that are running with the message of you can have a personal spiritual relationship that's real, that's realer than anything.
00:03:05
Speaker
any human relationship you can have because it's on such a, a root core heart level, because God created a space in your heart that's built for a daily ongoing connection with him and nothing on this earth or outside of this earth will fill that connection, will fill that void except for a relational, ongoing relational connection with
00:03:33
Speaker
with Jesus.
00:03:35
Speaker
And that's really my testimony in a nutshell.
00:03:37
Speaker
I've tried everything, whether it be
00:03:40
Speaker
religious duty, serving in my church.
00:03:43
Speaker
I was a motivational speaker at one point.
00:03:46
Speaker
I've been successful in football, business, a lot of different things.
00:03:49
Speaker
I've lived the life that most people say, well, that's very successful.
00:03:54
Speaker
And at the same time, during so many of those, I'll be happy when moments where I achieved my dream or achieved worldly success, like so many of people like myself that have achieved that,
00:04:09
Speaker
I was unfulfilled on the way up.
00:04:12
Speaker
And then when I got to the mountaintop, I was still unfulfilled.
00:04:16
Speaker
And that's really when you really feel empty because you trick your mind into saying, I'm going to be happy when I achieve this.
00:04:24
Speaker
And my life is missing fulfillment because I haven't done this or I'm not making this or I don't have this connection.
00:04:33
Speaker
People make these, I'll be happy when statements and agreements with themselves and their hearts.
00:04:42
Speaker
And really you can be, you can have fulfillment and peace through a relational connection with Jesus from the valley to the mountaintop and everywhere in between.
00:04:53
Speaker
And you can enjoy the process and you can also enjoy the fruits of your labor, but it has to be in the context of a relational connection with Jesus.
00:05:02
Speaker
And there's many people that on the outside looking in, it seems like they have fulfillment.
00:05:10
Speaker
But so many times I knew those people that people call wildly successful or wealthy.
00:05:17
Speaker
And in their heart of hearts, they still lack that fulfillment that only Jesus can bring.
Personal Encounters with Jesus
00:05:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:22
Speaker
And that is so true.
00:05:24
Speaker
You know, he created us with that space that only he can fill.
00:05:29
Speaker
And so you see, and I'll include myself in it because, um, you know, the first 40 years of my life, I didn't know the Lord.
00:05:39
Speaker
I didn't even understand where there are three, who's God, who's Jesus, who's the Holy spirit, you know, and I went looking in all the wrong places.
00:05:49
Speaker
And I just knew that there had to be something more.
00:05:53
Speaker
And I was looking for that something more.
00:05:55
Speaker
And I can...
00:05:57
Speaker
testified to the fact that it was in that encounter with Jesus.
00:06:02
Speaker
And we all have, like, he'll meet us where we are and he'll encounter us.
00:06:06
Speaker
And, you know, the way he encountered you is not the way he encountered me, but he knew that I needed the encounter that I had and you needed the encounter that you had, you know?
00:06:15
Speaker
And that is like his grace, his love and his mercy.
00:06:19
Speaker
You know, he says, just come as you are.
00:06:22
Speaker
And, um,
00:06:24
Speaker
But that empty space, it's only he that can fill that space.
00:06:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:31
Speaker
And like you said, you can't do it on your own.
00:06:33
Speaker
He says, come, come, Billy, come as you are.
00:06:36
Speaker
I liken it to this.
00:06:38
Speaker
You don't have like a wound that you need to go to the hospital for and then say, well, I'm going to heal up this wound and then go to the hospital.
00:06:47
Speaker
No, you go to the hospital, you get treatment for your wound or what you need treatment for.
00:06:52
Speaker
So you can promote healing within your body.
00:06:57
Speaker
it's, it's like, it's like taking a, taking a bath before you go play in the mud.
00:07:01
Speaker
Like it's like, right.
00:07:03
Speaker
You need Jesus.
00:07:06
Speaker
Um, you need the power of the Holy spirit to really, to really have long lasting,
00:07:12
Speaker
change and transformation and fulfillment within your life.
00:07:16
Speaker
And when you don't have that, you really are taking some really poor substitutes, I would say.
00:07:25
Speaker
And believe me, I speak from experience, having taken a lot of substitutes.
00:07:32
Speaker
As far as success in education, I've had that.
00:07:35
Speaker
I've had success in football, what's in the NFL.
00:07:38
Speaker
I've had success building seven-figure and eight-figure businesses.
00:07:42
Speaker
So, I mean, I've had success in life and I've also been in federal prison and lost everything in the midst of all that and God's redeemed my life.
00:07:51
Speaker
So, I mean, I'm speaking from a person who has been at the lowest of the low,
00:07:57
Speaker
And, you know, in worldly success respects, I've been at the upper, you know, 1%.
00:08:04
Speaker
Of course, there's people that, you know, that I've hung out with billionaires and I've never been a billionaire myself, but I mean, I've hung out with billionaires and they're just people just like the rest of us, right?
00:08:15
Speaker
And I've hung out with, you know, people that were super famous and they're just like the rest of us.
00:08:19
Speaker
They're just people and they need Jesus just like everybody else does.
00:08:23
Speaker
They need healing and restoration.
00:08:26
Speaker
and transformation and healing within their heart, just like everybody else does.
00:08:30
Speaker
That's why you see people that have attained their dream, have attained success, and they're in the public spotlight.
00:08:37
Speaker
And people say, why are those people still struggling so much?
00:08:40
Speaker
Why are they still so messed up in some respects when they've got all this, if I had all this money and this fame and yada, yada, yada, I wouldn't be like that.
00:08:49
Speaker
Well, the problem is, the old adage is,
00:08:53
Speaker
Wherever you go, there you are.
00:08:55
Speaker
And if nothing changes, then nothing changes.
00:08:58
Speaker
And the reason you see that is because just because you got more money, money just allows you to be more of who you already are.
00:09:06
Speaker
And so if you're if you're broken inside, you need, you know, you need people's validation, acceptance, things like that.
00:09:13
Speaker
You're going to use more money to get that validation, acceptance in the wrong ways.
00:09:18
Speaker
And so, you know, it's one of those things that you really have to have that fulfillment of a love relationship with Jesus to really to really.
00:09:28
Speaker
ground you and root you in, in what I call success, which is a, I define as a relational connection, ongoing relational connection with Jesus.
00:09:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:39
Speaker
So Sterling, take us to that moment that really changed your life.
00:09:45
Speaker
Cause I know that you shared, you, you got saved at an early age and
00:09:51
Speaker
But then there was this moment that marked you, that made a before and after in your life and brought you to a new place.
00:10:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:01
Speaker
So I had a spiritual encounter with God when I was 12 years old and it was just a little 12 year old boy saying, you know, God, if you're real, show yourself to me.
00:10:09
Speaker
And if you want a relationship, personal relationship with me, show yourself to me.
00:10:13
Speaker
I want to know the answer is yes.
00:10:15
Speaker
And I threw up this little prayer at 12 years old and I still remember praying that prayer.
00:10:19
Speaker
And the next day I woke up with a feeling of peace.
00:10:24
Speaker
and serenity I'd never had in my life before.
00:10:28
Speaker
And now I know that that was the manifest presence of God I was experiencing.
00:10:33
Speaker
Back then I had no context, language or definition for what I was experiencing, but as a little 12 year old boy, I knew that
00:10:40
Speaker
This was God's answer to both of my questions.
00:10:43
Speaker
Yes, I'm real.
00:10:44
Speaker
And yes, I want a personal relationship with you.
00:10:46
Speaker
And based on that spiritual encounter, I got saved and gave my life to Jesus.
00:10:52
Speaker
And then I got religion and religious duty.
00:10:54
Speaker
And religion and religious duty say you have to work hard to get God to love you.
00:10:59
Speaker
So you're working hard.
00:11:01
Speaker
for validation you already have.
00:11:03
Speaker
You're working hard for righteousness that you attained when you gave your life to Jesus.
00:11:08
Speaker
You got his righteousness.
00:11:09
Speaker
You got his spirit.
00:11:11
Speaker
Christianity is not a religion.
00:11:12
Speaker
It's had a religion made out of it.
00:11:15
Speaker
Religion says God's far off.
00:11:16
Speaker
You need to do things to get him near you.
00:11:19
Speaker
But the reality is when you gave your life to Jesus,
00:11:22
Speaker
Christianity is about an inhabitation.
00:11:24
Speaker
It's about getting something bigger than yourself, than sin, than whatever you want to put in that box.
00:11:30
Speaker
It's about getting something bigger in you, which is the Holy Spirit, God's spirit.
00:11:34
Speaker
And the reason you need Jesus is you need to receive the blood covenant that God had with Jesus that said, you know, God, I'm going to go to earth.
00:11:41
Speaker
I'm going to die and resurrect and give my blood for Sterling, for Sylvia, for anyone who would call my name so they could receive again what they lost in the garden.
00:11:52
Speaker
which was an end drawing of the Holy Spirit.
00:11:55
Speaker
So that's really where the rubber meets the road as far as religion versus relationship.
00:12:01
Speaker
And I got religion and religious duty and religion, especially with a lot of mine was based on fear tactics.
00:12:09
Speaker
fear will only do help you do enough not to get fired at a job or whatever you're doing it doesn't it doesn't propel you love propels you love and motivates you when you're in love you do things because you're compelled by to action by your love for that person like in a healthy marital relationship and for me
00:12:29
Speaker
what religion creates is unworthiness, shame, condemnation, and really frustration.
00:12:38
Speaker
And so I always thought that God was never, I was never good enough for God.
00:12:42
Speaker
I was always falling short.
00:12:43
Speaker
I was, you know, I was constantly doing things that would send me to hell and different things like that.
00:12:48
Speaker
My mindset was, was one of just really frustration and shame and unworthiness.
00:12:55
Speaker
And so I began to look for validation in other places because I didn't want to serve this God that was always looking at me or that I was always falling
Significant Spiritual Transformations
00:13:05
Speaker
short of.
00:13:05
Speaker
And so I just in that reality, that's probably the vast majority of people that believe or don't believe you have that idea of God because it was perpetrated wrongly.
00:13:17
Speaker
for decades about God, which is not true.
00:13:19
Speaker
Now that I know him, I know that's not true.
00:13:22
Speaker
But back then, if you don't know better, you can't do better.
00:13:25
Speaker
And people are bound by language, context, definitions, and practical examples, especially when you have incorrect ones, because you'll see, you'll interpret things through the incorrect filter.
00:13:40
Speaker
So I saw God as a taskmaster who wanted always zap me and I was always in trouble with.
00:13:46
Speaker
So I just found validation and acceptance in other places, which was like partying, football, excelling in sports, excelling in school, social validations, things like that, that left me still empty and unfulfilled.
00:14:02
Speaker
And I was on this whole cycle and I just really thought that this whole white knuckling Christianity thing was just how it was.
00:14:10
Speaker
You know, when you get to heaven, then you can have some peace.
00:14:13
Speaker
Right.
00:14:13
Speaker
But while you're on this earth, you just kind of got a white necklace and make it.
00:14:17
Speaker
And that's not the case.
00:14:17
Speaker
Right.
00:14:19
Speaker
There's a lot of people living in what I call white knuckle Christianity.
00:14:23
Speaker
And I lived like that for 15 years of my Christian life.
00:14:26
Speaker
And I remember, you know, my kind of moment in drawing the line in the sand was, you know, I got out of sports.
00:14:33
Speaker
I had to retire early because of injury.
00:14:36
Speaker
I got in the real estate business and insurance business was making good money, six figures.
00:14:40
Speaker
And, you know, I had the big car and the big watch and the big house.
00:14:43
Speaker
And I was in a club in downtown Dallas and VIP dancing on the couch.
00:14:48
Speaker
and laser lights going, fog going.
00:14:51
Speaker
And I just looked out and I said, you know, God, is this it?
00:14:54
Speaker
Is this what I worked my whole life, you know, for to have some money, to have, you know, some fame, a little bit of fame and is this it?
00:15:01
Speaker
And I looked around at my friends that had way more money than I was ever going to have, you know, 50, a hundred million dollars, private jets, the whole nine.
00:15:10
Speaker
Yet they still had lives that were unfulfilled because I knew these people and I knew we had, we had talked about it a lot of times.
00:15:18
Speaker
And as I said, God, there's got to be something more.
00:15:21
Speaker
And Sylvia, like maybe a week later, God answered that prayer in a club in downtown Dallas.
00:15:26
Speaker
And I'll tell you, God will, God's always, wherever you go, there God is, right?
00:15:31
Speaker
So be careful where you take the Holy Ghost, because I've taken him some really super questionable places and some downright just not good.
00:15:39
Speaker
But he was always faithful.
00:15:40
Speaker
Even when I was faithless, he was faithful.
00:15:44
Speaker
And that's the good news of the gospel.
00:15:46
Speaker
And so I began to, God began to encounter me in my office and I began to feel this heat and this burning and this fire on me.
00:15:55
Speaker
And I was sweating and I just, I was very discombobulated and I just felt like this dark presence was trying to get inside of me and like the light in me was trying to fight against the darkness.
00:16:06
Speaker
And I was like, I felt like I was going to have a heart attack and I knew I needed to either get to a hospital
00:16:14
Speaker
or a church, but inherently I knew inside of me that it was a spiritual situation that I was dealing with.
00:16:20
Speaker
So I went to a church that I had known the pastor and grew up with the pastor when I was a kid.
00:16:25
Speaker
And I show up at that church and kind of tell him what's going on.
00:16:30
Speaker
He's freaking out because he doesn't have any context for what I'm dealing with either.
00:16:35
Speaker
He's like, just sit at the back of the church, darling.
00:16:37
Speaker
And it was a Wednesday night church service.
00:16:39
Speaker
And he said, well, you and I could talk afterwards.
00:16:42
Speaker
And I remember rocking back and forth and I was sweating in church ACs on full blast, just sweating.
00:16:47
Speaker
And, and I began like these, I began that my fingertips began to tingle.
00:16:53
Speaker
And then I started freaking out because I had no context with what was going on with me.
00:16:57
Speaker
And then my whole body began to burn like fire.
00:17:00
Speaker
And see the context I knew about fire growing up in the hellfire and brimstone era of, you know, very fear-based preaching was all I knew about fire and God was hell.
00:17:09
Speaker
That's it.
00:17:10
Speaker
So I think like right then, so I'm about to like, I'm about to go to hell, like right then for all my sins.
00:17:15
Speaker
Like it's going to be ashes, my Nikes, I said, Sterling's gone.
00:17:19
Speaker
He's done.
00:17:20
Speaker
The back of the church, he just evaporated.
00:17:21
Speaker
Right.
00:17:23
Speaker
And, and I began to ask God to cleanse me and help me and just Lord, please, I can't do this on my own anymore.
00:17:31
Speaker
And that fire subsided and, and the peace of God fell on me.
00:17:35
Speaker
And it was like, God was poured like this cool oil on my head and just relaxed.
00:17:41
Speaker
And I was like, man, I just knew I was different after that day, but I didn't have any context, language or definitions or practical examples of what happened to me.
00:17:50
Speaker
And I didn't read the Bible for myself.
00:17:51
Speaker
I just went to church.
00:17:52
Speaker
I didn't know God personally.
00:17:54
Speaker
I knew about him.
00:17:55
Speaker
Little did I know that the Bible says, and I knew this years later, that John the Baptist said that after me, there'll come a man whose sandal straps I'm not fit to untie, and he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
00:18:11
Speaker
And that's in all four gospels, but the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire.
00:18:15
Speaker
And what I experienced that day was God sovereignly baptized me in the Holy Spirit and fire.
00:18:21
Speaker
And I,
00:18:21
Speaker
And I began things that I needed to kind of fall off me, begin to fall off me.
00:18:30
Speaker
And God began this refining process of my life.
00:18:34
Speaker
And I just went back to religion.
00:18:36
Speaker
I went back to what I knew and what I was from, which was church attendance.
00:18:42
Speaker
But I still felt unfulfilled, but it was better than...
00:18:46
Speaker
than previously.
00:18:47
Speaker
So, so I wish I could say that I had that encounter.
00:18:49
Speaker
My life changed automatically.
00:18:51
Speaker
And God is a God of process.
00:18:53
Speaker
It's not like that.
00:18:54
Speaker
I've, I've heard people say that I had to encounter with God.
00:18:57
Speaker
And then after that, I was all good.
00:18:58
Speaker
I'm not saying they didn't, but I'm telling, I'm telling you that God is in the process.
00:19:04
Speaker
That's his, that's one of his characteristics in his nature.
00:19:08
Speaker
Even he might do one thing sovereignly and just like, okay, you got delivered to drugs, you never did drugs again, but he delivered you from a whole bunch of things that were behind the drugs over a process guaranteed.
00:19:20
Speaker
That's just how he, that's how, that's the character within the nature.
00:19:24
Speaker
And so God began to deliver me from the world, from myself,
00:19:29
Speaker
I began to get a motivational speaking, began to help kids, did a lot of inner healing work, things like that.
Spiritual Growth in Prison
00:19:35
Speaker
And then I knocked at my door, it was the FBI about four or five years later after that experience.
00:19:40
Speaker
And I ended up getting arrested for mortgage fraud and I didn't do mortgages at the time I was a real estate agent.
00:19:47
Speaker
And I just thought I was going to go down there, tell them, you know, I'm a good guy.
00:19:50
Speaker
I'm, you know, a motivational speaker for kids, former NFL player, and they're going to let me go.
00:19:54
Speaker
They gave me 70 months in federal prison for a crime I didn't only commit.
00:19:58
Speaker
So I learned a couple of things, trust but verify.
00:20:03
Speaker
And if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
00:20:06
Speaker
And the time I did these deals, these business deals I got in trouble for, I had this gut feeling that something wasn't right.
00:20:14
Speaker
But like so many things in my life, I ignored that gut feeling.
00:20:17
Speaker
I ignored the voice in the back of my mind.
00:20:19
Speaker
I ignored that kinetic feeling of a lack of peace.
00:20:23
Speaker
which I now know is the Holy Spirit speaking to me.
00:20:26
Speaker
And I teach people how to become more self-aware of, you know, the voice of God sounds like the voice of the back of your mind.
00:20:32
Speaker
It sounds like a voice within you, your subconscious voice, but it comes with a flow and a peace and a wisdom to it that's not your own.
00:20:40
Speaker
God speaks in visions.
00:20:42
Speaker
He speaks in like using your imagination to show you mental pictures, pictures and images and scenes from your life that, that give you either like a literal or figurative representation was trying to tell you.
00:20:54
Speaker
And you get like a thought impression, like a flow of thoughts or like an, like an inner knowing, like, you know, that you know something.
00:21:00
Speaker
And it's more like a, like a download to your heart that God's, God's putting on your heart.
00:21:05
Speaker
And, and I, and now I equip and teach people how to do that.
00:21:08
Speaker
I ended up going to federal prison.
00:21:11
Speaker
and just began to serve God there and didn't understand why I was there.
00:21:15
Speaker
But later God showed me it was the disobedience that I walked in and the compromise that I lived in, even though I was living the best I knew how was to live in compromise.
00:21:26
Speaker
And when you live in compromise, you open the door of the enemy.
00:21:29
Speaker
An enemy will use whatever he can to destroy your life.
00:21:32
Speaker
He just used the curse of captivity and these business deals that I was involved in to try to do that.
00:21:37
Speaker
And I began to serve God anyway, and God redeemed the time.
00:21:40
Speaker
I ended up getting involved in preaching there, led hundreds of people to the Lord there, really found a true relational connection at my rock bottom moment because I was like, okay, God, I feel like you're saying you want me to have this relational connection with you, but how can I have a relationship with God that I can't see?
00:22:00
Speaker
And I remember getting my mind, the words, follow me and I'll show you.
00:22:04
Speaker
I saw it in the script letter of my mind.
00:22:07
Speaker
And it just got this thought impression.
00:22:10
Speaker
And so I began to write down.
00:22:11
Speaker
I wrote that down.
00:22:12
Speaker
I wrote down what I felt like God's voice sounded like.
00:22:15
Speaker
And then all the disparaging thoughts about, you're an idiot.
00:22:19
Speaker
That wasn't God.
00:22:20
Speaker
That was just you.
00:22:21
Speaker
I wrote that down.
00:22:22
Speaker
What that sounded like, which I now know is the voice of the enemy.
00:22:24
Speaker
And also can be the voice of your self-doubt.
00:22:27
Speaker
And so I began to discern between my self-doubt, the voice of the enemy, my voice, the voice of my subconscious, and God's voice.
00:22:35
Speaker
And I began to differentiate between those two.
00:22:37
Speaker
And God showed me these patterns within those.
Post-Prison Purpose and Teaching
00:22:41
Speaker
And these patterns began to emerge as he confirmed what he was saying.
00:22:45
Speaker
And the things that weren't God began to not happen.
00:22:50
Speaker
And then I began to teach that and people began to get the same outcomes as I did in their own personal relationship with God.
00:23:00
Speaker
And I began to see people in prison be transformed by this relational connection with Jesus.
00:23:08
Speaker
And then I got out and kept serving the Lord.
00:23:11
Speaker
God introduced me to my wife.
00:23:12
Speaker
I ended up having a couple, you know, we have two awesome kids that love Jesus.
00:23:16
Speaker
And God put it in my heart to write this book, How to Hear God 10 Ways God Speaks.
00:23:22
Speaker
And, you know, in prison, he was telling me that he was going to
00:23:27
Speaker
He was going to redeem my life.
00:23:28
Speaker
He was going to take me to this worldwide ministry that we were going to reach millions of people for the gospel.
00:23:32
Speaker
And, you know, it's so interesting, you know, when I got out, I was living with my parents and by all worldly aspects have lost everything.
00:23:41
Speaker
And this year will be, will be the eighth year that I have been out of prison and,
00:23:47
Speaker
And I can tell you that God has totally redeemed my life.
00:23:53
Speaker
And now we have a business where we move trucks and 18 wheelers all across the United States.
00:23:59
Speaker
It took over that family business.
00:24:00
Speaker
It was failing and going under.
00:24:03
Speaker
And by the time three years had passed, God redeemed that business totally.
00:24:11
Speaker
And now we're doing better than we ever have in 25 years.
00:24:15
Speaker
And our ministry now reaches tens of thousands of people every month and hundreds of thousands of people a year.
00:24:24
Speaker
And it's just one of those things that it didn't happen overnight.
00:24:27
Speaker
It was a process.
00:24:29
Speaker
And that's why I love equipping people to hear God's voice.
00:24:31
Speaker
I literally got out and started with nothing.
00:24:33
Speaker
I started with, you know, all I had was hearing God's voice.
00:24:38
Speaker
But over time, God redeemed my life.
00:24:41
Speaker
And he'll do that for everybody that will have a relationship with him.
00:24:45
Speaker
Everybody's redemption looks different.
00:24:48
Speaker
Everybody's prosperity looks different.
00:24:50
Speaker
Prosperity to me means having more than enough God to forgive, to have the resources that you need to have, to love people in your life, even if they're hard to love.
00:25:04
Speaker
and being the hands and feet of Jesus wherever you go.
00:25:07
Speaker
So prosperity to me is a holistic approach of God bringing you into the full self that he's called you to be.
00:25:16
Speaker
And that happens when you become more like Jesus.
00:25:19
Speaker
And people used to say, yes, Sterling, you're so much like Jesus and you're so, you try to follow him so much, but you're not your own person.
00:25:26
Speaker
I said, actually, you're, you're actually wrong and I'll, and I'll prove it to you.
00:25:30
Speaker
I said, how much of your life is driven by fear or worry or anxiety now?
00:25:37
Speaker
Or fear of not being good enough, fear of not being successful, fear of not having enough, all these different things.
00:25:43
Speaker
And how much time do you spend in fear and worry on a daily basis within your mind?
00:25:48
Speaker
Most people are like, well, that's definitely an influence in my life.
00:25:51
Speaker
Well, I said, well, that's how I used to be and not even know it.
00:25:56
Speaker
But when I began to have God peel these layers of onion, onion layers off my life and off my heart, I realized that when you become more like Jesus, you actually become the more authentic self that God called you to be because you're no longer, you no longer allow, allow fear, anxiety, worry, depression to be the driver of your car.
00:26:18
Speaker
You let the Holy Spirit be your driver.
00:26:20
Speaker
Yes, those things still come even in my life today.
00:26:23
Speaker
But now I know how to take those thoughts captive.
00:26:26
Speaker
cast them off, give them over to God and declare the opposite of what God
Practical Tools for Spiritual Growth
00:26:31
Speaker
is saying.
00:26:31
Speaker
Like right now we're buying a house.
00:26:35
Speaker
It's a financial stretch for us to buy this house.
00:26:39
Speaker
You know, God has blessed us in the house that we're in and supernaturally paid it off a couple of years ago.
00:26:45
Speaker
So we own our house free and clear and we're going into a house that we're going to have to get a mortgage on.
00:26:50
Speaker
But I know the Lord spoke to us about specifically this house, this property that we're going to get and moving to this area.
00:26:58
Speaker
And so once I got a word from God, I said, you know, he said, if you receive it as a blessing, it will be.
00:27:02
Speaker
But I had these thoughts that, you know, what if the business doesn't do as good as it's been doing?
00:27:07
Speaker
What if this happens?
00:27:08
Speaker
What if that happens?
00:27:09
Speaker
And I knew that was the voice of my own self-doubt.
00:27:14
Speaker
And I also knew that that was probably some demonic influence.
00:27:17
Speaker
And so I just said, God, I release these thoughts over to you.
00:27:21
Speaker
These are not the thoughts I want to think.
00:27:23
Speaker
Lord, forgive me for thinking these thoughts.
00:27:25
Speaker
And I just, I just give this over to you, God.
00:27:26
Speaker
I receive your forgiveness.
00:27:27
Speaker
I give forgiveness.
00:27:29
Speaker
And Lord, I just, and I began to declare this house will be a blessing to us.
00:27:33
Speaker
The mortgage will be approved.
00:27:34
Speaker
This, this move will be a blessing.
00:27:36
Speaker
I'll be a blessed transition.
00:27:38
Speaker
And every time I get a negative thought or a thought that is unwanted, that's opposite of God's love and faith and peace, I declare the opposite of that thought.
00:27:47
Speaker
And I use it as a call to prayer and a call to bless the situation that I'm in.
00:27:52
Speaker
And that's practically,
00:27:53
Speaker
how you can manage your mind will and emotions using spiritual tools and weapons.
00:27:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:59
Speaker
No.
00:27:59
Speaker
Um, so I want to just, uh, you know, we're, we're coming close in our time and, um, I, I want to tell you that I thank you for your testimony and sharing, um, these deep revelations because these revelations that you've had and, you know, um,
00:28:19
Speaker
God may not have let you to prison, but he used prison, right?
00:28:25
Speaker
To create purpose, right?
00:28:27
Speaker
And to bring you to where he wanted you to be and to do the things that you are doing now, you know, the lives that you're touching and the lives that are being transformed as a result.
00:28:37
Speaker
of, you know, your yieldedness, your obedience and allowing God to do in you and through you.
00:28:43
Speaker
And as I said to you, I always go to the Lord with asking him for a scripture.
00:28:49
Speaker
And the scripture that he gave me for you was 2 Corinthians 5.17.
00:28:59
Speaker
And I'll admit that sometimes I go back and forth with him a little bit.
00:29:03
Speaker
Like, is this really the one you want?
00:29:05
Speaker
And he's, obviously, he always wins.
00:29:09
Speaker
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come, the old has gone, the new is here.
00:29:17
Speaker
That's the scripture.
00:29:18
Speaker
And what he has spoken into my heart is how important it is for people to understand that, yes, we are a new creation, but the new creation takes time.
00:29:30
Speaker
It's a process.
00:29:31
Speaker
The old is gone.
00:29:33
Speaker
So as you were saying that, I was like, you just blow my mind, Lord, all the time.
00:29:37
Speaker
Because this is what he wanted me to speak on when I share the scripture with you.
00:29:43
Speaker
And for everyone out there to know, because if we don't know this, the enemy will come in and start condemning us.
00:29:52
Speaker
Well, I thought you were a new creation and you're not looking like a new creation.
00:29:57
Speaker
But he walks us through this process and the new creation takes time.
New Beginnings and Righteousness in Jesus
00:30:02
Speaker
You know, in that walk and in that process, he's taken away and rebuilding us and making us into that new creation.
00:30:11
Speaker
So I pray that that scripture speaks to your spirit and blesses you because that's the one that he, you know, he gave me for you today.
00:30:22
Speaker
Yeah, it does bless me.
00:30:23
Speaker
And, you know, we're going into a new season and we're going into a transition.
00:30:27
Speaker
I actually close on our house.
00:30:30
Speaker
We'll close our house on the 17th of next week.
00:30:33
Speaker
August 17th is my birthday.
00:30:35
Speaker
So I'm going into a lot of new beginnings.
00:30:37
Speaker
It's a new season.
00:30:38
Speaker
We're moving to a new area.
00:30:40
Speaker
it's about three hours away from where we are now currently so it's uh we know it's the lord but it definitely is is taking a lot of faith to apprehend this next season of our lives and you know second corinthians has been a very uh especially that portion of second corinthians has been near and dear to my heart because you know it talks about the righteousness of god in that in that same stanza in chapter five and see i all i knew when i was growing up was
00:31:10
Speaker
was that righteous people must be like a deacon in your church or something.
00:31:14
Speaker
I didn't know it was something you attain when you get Jesus.
00:31:17
Speaker
When I got born again, nobody told me I got born again.
00:31:21
Speaker
But now when I began to really read the Bible for myself, I realized that
00:31:26
Speaker
In that same stanza, it says we've been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
00:31:30
Speaker
And there's a lot of churches that believe in the 517, but they don't believe that we have the righteousness of Jesus, which the Bible clearly says we do.
00:31:39
Speaker
And righteousness means that you have the same legal access to God, the Father, God, the Spirit and God, the God, Jesus.
00:31:46
Speaker
As Jesus does.
00:31:47
Speaker
Like you have the same access to God as Jesus did.
00:31:50
Speaker
You have his righteousness, his unblemished faith in life.
00:31:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:55
Speaker
And what a, what a cool gift.
00:31:57
Speaker
What an amazing gift.
00:31:59
Speaker
What an amazing gift that we got through that sacrifice, you know, that, that he, that he, um, set us free from the curse of the law.
00:32:09
Speaker
And, um, yeah,
00:32:11
Speaker
I want you to just quickly share how our listeners can connect with you.
