There were about 200-250 people in\nattendance. The meeting was held in the old Federal movie theatre, which\nhas definitely seen better days. Attendees were for the most part working\nclass people with families. The audience was quite vocal and\nenthusiastic. Besides myself, there were 5 other pagans in the audience,\nscattered around. At least one of these also has a tape recording of the\nproceedings.\nPastor Cordova \"Larry Lea prayed, and because he prayed, the very general\nthat attacked him is the very general that got saved.\" 1/\n(\"Hallelujah!\" General praise and applause from the audience.)\nthis brother, I call up the Reverend brother, come to devil, I mean come to\nDenver, and let's give the Devil a black eye. And he called me up and\nsays, Brother, let's not only, let's not only give a black eye, let's,\nlet's break a couple of legs already! Alright, Amen! (Applause and cheers\nfrom audience.) Yes! Give him a hand. Yes! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!\nHallelujah! Hallelujah!\nI want you to stand up and I want you to raise your hands (unintelligible)\nFather, in Jesus' name I pray that you anoint our brethren. That his words\nwould be your words. His thoughts would be your thoughts, Father. That he\nwould not pull any punches, Father. That he would be an oracle of yours,\nFather. Oh Father, you who can set him on fire for you, God, let his words\nbe as fire, Father, and let the hearts of the people be as brass. Oh, GOD\nbring revival to our lives and we'll give you the PRAISE and we'll give you\nthe glory. In Jesus' name. People, we don't want you to leave tonight if\nyou have a need. If you're not filled with the Holy Spirit after this\nbrother's through, we're gonna be down here. Some of us ministers are\ngonna be down here with Eric. We're gonna be laying hands on you. We're\ngonna be praying for you that God the Holy Spirit would set you on fire\ncause let me tell you something, time is short. It is short. Amen.\nPlease welcome Eric.\nPryor: There're so many microphones around here I don't know what to do\nwith them. Harvesting souls or harvesting microphones here, I don't know?\nWell, I'm, I'm I'm glad, uh, to be here in Denver, and I'll tell you one\nthing though, the Strongman, uh, he didn't want me here. He didn't want me\nhere because he knows that I know. He knows that I know that he is a stone\ncold liar. (That's right! comment from audience) Big time liar. What I'd\nlike to do before we, before I get into my testimony, I, after that I've\ngot a scripture I'd like to back it up with. I'd like for all of us to do\nsomething really special because this glorifies God, OK? And this is part\nof giving the Devil a black eye so if you'll just join in with me, if you\ndear ones would just stand up and join in with me, we're gonna work on\ngiving the Devil a black eye, OK? (Audience stands up.)\nFather God, we stand here before you tonight, we stand here before you\ntonight because we love you, Father God. Father God, we know that you are\nthe way, the truth, and the light. Only through you and your son Christ\nJesus, through Christ Jesus can we have eternal life and that SATAN IS A\nLIAR! So we're gonna do some spiritual warfare here tonight for you,\nFather God, if it please you. SATAN! WE SERVE YOU NOTICE. WHERE THE\nLIGHT IS, THE DARKNESS SHALL NOT OVERCOME AND THAT SATAN, WE BIND YOU UP\nAND WE CAST YOU DOWN! ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 16:19 IT SAYS \"WHATEVER IS\n2369\nBOUND HERE ON EARTH WILL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN and whatever seeds are sown\nhere on earth will be sown in heaven,\" so, Satan, WE BIND YOU UP AND WE\nCAST YOU DOWN AND WE PUT YOU RIGHT UNDER OUT FOOT! WE SERVE YOU NOTICE,\nGET DOWN, SATAN, GET DOWN! Satan get thee behind us. Father, we sow the\nseeds of gospel, and we sow the seeds of love, and we sow the seeds of\ntruth so that all the people to the corners of the world would know of your\nglory through your son Christ Jesus, THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,\nSATAN WE SERVE YOU NOTICE, YOU GET OUT OF DENVER! We have served you\nnotice you have no legal right in here, Satan, you have absolutely no legal\nright to be here.\nNow, Dear ones, I want to hear something that's gonna glorify God. I don't\ncare what you shout, but on the count of three, we're gonna shout to the\nLord because in the Bible, all through the Bible it said that they shouted\nbefore the Lord. As a matter fact, when Jesus comes, comes back, he's\ngonna come back with a SHOUT! And he's probably gonna be saying I'M\nCOMING! So I'm gonna tell you something, we're gonna shout before the Lord\nand we're gonna glorify the Lord with that shout, I don't care you yell\nHallelujah, Satan be gone, whatever, but on the count of three we're gonna\nshout before the Lord and we're gonna shake the walls of this temple and\nwe're gonna let Satan know that WE'RE HERE AND HE'S NOT WELCOME! One, two,\nthree! (General shouting and cheering by the audience.)\nYeah. That feels good. That feels good and that glorifies the Lord, I\ntell you, that glorifies the Lord. Sometimes it takes a shout to wake up\nthe dead! Let's don't sleep! Don't let Satan get up behind you and stick\na knife in your back! He did it to me! He was giving me black eyes all my\nlife. So Satan's a liar and I'll tell you what - I'm here through Christ\nJesus and the Holy Spirit running through me. I'm gonna kick him right\nback every time. That's why I wear snakeskin boots, cause it says \"and you\nshall be walking on serpents heads!\" Scorpions and snakes, right? That's\nall I have to say to Satan. Up your butt! (Applause and cheering from\naudience.)\nYou can sit down. Aren't you glad I don't sing? I wouldn't know what to\nsing anyway, other than anointing come upon me and praise the Lord that's\nabout all I know. And that's about all I want to know, is praise the Lord\nJesus Christ for his goodness and his mercy that he hung on that tree and\nhe bled for us. Think about that. Here was a man, OK, he was God, but he\nwas temptations each one, uh, each and every one of us have, yet he was\nnailed to that tree. Railroad spikes, think of it, going through his\nwrists and through his feet AND HE WENT INTO THE VERY DEPTHS OF HELL AND\nTOOK THE KEYS OF POWER FROM SATAN AND GAVE THEM TO THE SAINTS, AND THAT\nMEANS YOU! AND YOU CAN USE USE KEYS! THAT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT! If you have\nthe believer's authority, I want to tell you something, you put on the\nwhole armor of God and the Holy Spirit runs through you, every time Satan\nsees you, boy he runs and he screams. He starts hiding up under every\nlittle rock just like the sneaky little snake he is. Maybe we ought to\nmake a pair of snakeskin boots out of him tonight.\nSo I'll tell you something about myself, OK? Whew! Boy I just, I just\nlove shouting before the Lord and I just love giving the Devil a black eye\nbecause man he had me so deceived. When I was a little kid, I uh, grew up\nin a uh, really dysfunctional family and that's a very polite way of\nputting it. I was abused. Uh, I was beaten. Matter of fact, I wasn't\nbeaten, uh, I was actually tortured. At a very early age I learned that\nuh, I had to depend on God for everything. Now I didn't know anything much\nabout life. I didn't even really know too much about Jesus. And at 4 or 5\n2370\nyears old I can remember getting on my knees and crying and saying God,\nwould you be my father. Now in later years I come to know that that word\nthat Jesus Christ used was Abba, which is Arabic for Daddy. And he's all\nof our Daddy. And he loves each and every one of you, and that's for sure.\nThat's for sure.\nSo I grew up, you know, under a lot of oppressions. Matter of fact, even\nbefore I was born the doctor said to my mother, you know, uh, Mrs. Pryor.\nShe'd spent six months in a uh, mental institution, my father actually uh,\nhelped drive her crazy with a bit of help from Satan. And she said \"Mrs.\nPryor, don't have this kid.\" I already, she already had three other kids.\nShe said \"don't have this child. You should abort this child.\" She said\n\"no, no, no, no, I'm gonna keep it and I don't care what my husband says I\ndon't care what anybody says, I'm gonna keep this child.\" And she had me\nand, uh, I grew up in a bunch of forester(sic) homes for the first several\nyears of my life. It's sketchy at best I'm researching my life right now\nfor an autobiography. But a lot of people want to really know what\nhappened\non the inside.\nSo any rate, uh, it's pretty (can't hear word) to find out that for the\nfirst several years of your life you really don't know where you are or\nnobody will tell you. So any rate, I grew up depending on the Lord for\neverything. But I didn't really see it as salvation or anything it was\njust naturally praying for the Lord to come and help me. And he did. He\nanswered those prayers. He knew I wasn't born again. And, uh, since I had\nno control over my life, you know, I was getting abused. My parents would\ndo things like hide food on me. I'd go to school, one time I went to\nschool with a broken foot. One time I had my skull fractured and I passed\nout in the school and woke up semi-con, uh, came out of a coma in a\nhospital. Didn't even know what happened to me. Why I had passed out,\n'cause night before I was beaten all night and had my skull split.\n2371\nIt was a, it was, a rough upbring,uh, up upbringing and I call it uh, uh,\nLarry Lea, God bless him, he's uh, he's one of my uh, spiritual fathers and\nhe calls them prayer warriors and I call them GLADIATORS! FRONT LINE MEN!\nThey see some big time combat with the sword of the spirit. You always\nassociate gladiators with that sword. Boy, I'll tell you, this is our\nsword right here. (Holding Bible aloft. amen, etc. from audience.) And how\nmany of you know that this is a mighty sword. Big time mighty. (applause)\nSo, what happened was, is I grew up, I sought power and I sought it in all\nthe wrong places. Control. So that I wouldn't have to put up with the\nbeatings, so that I could eat, so that I could just live a normal life like\nany other kid. I had all these problems. I just wanted to live a normal\nlife. So I sought power.\nAnd around the age of, well actually at 8 years old I was already reading\nTarot cards. But around 10 years old is when I really started to\nintelligently seek power and I'd always been taught that God was a\njudgmental God. I was taught that \"GOD WILL STRIKE YOU DEAD if you do\nthis. GOD WILL STRIKE YOU DEAD if you do that.\" Some of you older timers\nmight know something about the manipulation of the hand and the body and\nhow God will strike you dead, if you know what I'm saying, you know. Well\nI'll tell you, everything was God will strike you dead. And I started\nthinking \"what's going on here? What kind of God is this?\" But I was\ntaught that Satan would give you, would give you power, he would give you\nmoney, he would give you the girls that you want. He'll give you, he'll\ngive you everything. So I got a really wrong picture of Satan. That was a\ndeception. And I was taught that deception, believe it or not, by people\nwho were teaching other people about God. Preachers.\nSo I sought out, I actively sought out, the occult sciences so that I might\nstudy to show myself approved as it were. And I studied just about every\noccult science there was. It started out, candy coated enough with\nWitchcraft. I'm a white Witch. I'm not, I'm not out there to hurt\nanybody, I'm just gonna you know heal everybody and love on trees and love\non the Goddess and worship nature. Well why worship nature when you can\nworship THAT WHICH CREATED NATURE? (audience applause and comment.) WHY BE\nSO OPPRESSED WITH SATAN WHEN GOD CREATED LUCIFER WHO FELL AND BECAME SATAN?\nGOD IS SO MUCH MORE AMAZING! It's amazing that I'm here today. It is\namazing that I'm alive! I have half the Pagan nation cursing me! Do I\nlook dead to you? No. It's but by the grace of God that I'm here.\nBecause of his love and his mercy that I'm here.\nSo what happened, I got involved in the occult and I really steeped in it.\nAnd I studied. Then one day, I tried to get things right with my family.\nI, by that time I was 15 years old, I'd already been an ordained High\nPriest. People were already starting to name BABIES after me! I was like\na Mozart of the occult community, the prodigal child! I lived in a temple!\nI lived in an occult temple 24 hours a day! I could get up, I had books\nall over the place and anything that I wanted to know. I had some of the\nfinest occult teachers that the world could offer. I'm talking about the\nbig guns. And they all came and they trained me, mano y mano. They\ndiscipled me just like I'm being discipled by Pastor Dick Bernal over at\nJubilee Christian Center. Just like I'm being uh, discipled by, uh, uh,\nuh, Pastor Kennedy and Larry Lea, people like that. I was discipled by the\ngreats in the occult now I'm being discipled by the greats in the Lord!\n(audience\napplause.)\n2372\nSo, I tried to get things right with my family, and one day I, I had quit\nschool. I was selling my body in New York City. I was in between New\nJersey and New York as a male prostitute and I was going into covendoms in\nNew York City. I was doing all kinds of crazy things. I was living in a\ntemple and kinda coming back into Jersey and sniffing around and seeing\nwhat was up. I was doing drugs boy you name it, I would eat it. If I\nthought it would get you high, I would eat it. And I did. I, I, I had\nmore occult books, I had, as a matter of fact, my library at one time was\nbig enough to fill at least one wall from the floor to the ceiling high of\nsome of the finest occult books that you could get and the people that\nwrote those books were the people that were teaching me.\nSo at any rate, I decided I'd try to get things right with my father. For\nsome reason I was like a dog that had been kicked and wanted to come back\nto his master with his tail between his legs. So I tried to get things\nright with my family, but, uh, of course it didn't work out. And one day I\nwent to the high school that I used to go, used to go to school at, and I\nsat in the assembly and Word of Life Singers from Scroon Lake, New York,\nJack Wurtz and Word of Life Singers came in. They had a crusade. And boy,\nI'll tell you, those, those, those singers just amazed me. Now I was very\nimpressed that day and I don't know how I came across this woman, I don't\nremember, uh, I had a syringe filled up with battery acid in my locker and\nI was thinking, well after this crusade I'm just gonna go into the bath-\nroom, I'm gonna take that syringe, big 16 gauge needle, and just take it IV\nand painful or not, I didn't care, I was just going to do my life in.\nAnd, uh, one young lady just said she had a burden for me. She was going\nto sing but she came up to me and she said look, and gave me this little\ntract and told me a little bit about the Lord. And I FELT something from\nher. I felt LOVE come from this woman by impartation with the love of the\nHoly Spirit. And I went back and I asked my father, I said, \"Dad, I want\nto go to this this, this crusade.\" My father over his, uh, Jack Daniels\nand Schmitz Beer is like, \"Ah, you can't go.\"\nSo I went anyway. And I walked from Bergenfield, New Jersey to Hackensack\nNew Jersey and I was the first one there. And I sat in an empty auditorium\nand watched these people set everything up and I was just amazed by the\nwhole thing. Well, they got to singing (unintelligible) and they\nevangelized and they spoke about the Lord, and they had an altar call. And\nit hit me. And I'll tell you I came down for that altar call. When I came\ndown for that altar call I believe that I had a real genuine experience\nwith the Lord at that time. I mean I was blasted with something. And I\nlater was uh, baptized. I was submerged in a baptismal tank. And, uh, the\nsmall occult book collection that I had was nothing compared to the\ncollection you'll see on the video tape that I burnt up, but it burnt up.\nBut the interesting thing about these people were that they were legalis-\ntic. They taught me how to rattle off scripture like a machine gun. They\ntaught me all the \"thou shalt nots.\" They told me you MUST cut your hair.\nYou MUST do this, you MUST do that. You CAN'T do this, you CAN'T do that.\n\"I'VE been a Christian longer than you, I know.\" Notice they didn't say\nanything about the Lord says. They said I say and YOU must. They were\njudgmental. They were clear with me. And then they sent me up to, uh, a\nBible Institute. And there I was a wrangler and I worked with the youth,\nand I had plenty of scripture in me. And I knew Jesus Christ was Lord, I\njust didn't like the life I was living. It was just plain old too rigid.\nI was still, I still had garbage pail mouth. My mind hadn't been renewed.\n2373\nAnd that's where Satan goes, right into the mind. That's where he does his\nwarfare. Because when Jesus is in your heart, he can't get in there, but\nhe can get in your mind alright. And he can tell you what you can't do.\nHe can kinda tell you what you should do. So I went up there and we got\ninto an argument over something really stupid. Believe it or not, it was a\nbuck knife. Now as a wrangler, it was part of my job if I had to snap some\nleather to save a child's life, or my life or a horse's life or something,\nI needed that knife to snap some leather. And they couldn't deal, these\nare, these are Christian brothers and sisters, they could not deal with\nthis. they said, \"It presents a bad image of God to carry that knife in\nfront of those young children.\" I said \"well, don't you think it would\npresent a worse image if one of those children got trampled to death? I\nneed that knife to snap leather.\" And he just went on about this knife and\nI'm thinking \"what's going on here?\" Finally I said, \"you want the knife\nso bad?\" I took the knife out and I stuck it in his desk and I said,\n\"that's it\" and I left.\nI said well, you know I mean, it was something after Jesus, I knew there\nwas some kind of power there. I knew there was power there, but I just\ncouldn't believe that cause I didn't know anything about a personal\nrelationship with Abba Father. I knew nothing of that. So I left, and\nboy, the Strongman was right behind me going, hehehe, \"we got him now. Oh\nwe got this guy now. Not only is he already a high priest, but he knows\nwhere to go.\" And I did. I went right back to New York City. Right back\nto those temples and I started studying even more fervently, trying to find\na way to get back to God. That's all I wanted to do.\nIt was candy-coated at first. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong at\nfirst. And I started to digress into the darkness. I mean farther and\nfarther. There were points where I blatantly didn't care. And I hexed and\nI cursed, and let me tell you something, I've heard people say that uh,\nSatanists are taught not to curse Christians because, uh, Christians know\nthe Lord. Let me tell you something, Satanists will curse God himself.\nThey'll curse anything. They'll curse anything that moves including\nTHEMSELVES and they don't even know it! But they don't care.\nSo I got involved in Voodoo, Santeria, Macumba, Ceremonial Magick,\nWitchcraft, you name it, I was into it. Ouija boards - I had a collection\nof em. Tarot cards - I had one of the largest private collections of Tarot\ncards in the United States. I was into it all. All of it.\nAnd I'll tell you, as time progressed I got farther and farther into the\ndarkness and I tried to get involved with the powers of the secular world\nand keep my occult practices which I believed to be spiritual practices at\nthe time, off to the side, just get involved in pursuing my artwork. And\nI, I was gettin pretty good with it for awhile. I was making some money.\nI wound up getting married, had two kids, we started to buy a plane,\nstarted to put money down on my first town house, uh, I had two cars and I\nwas really, really, really being impressed by the Strongman. And I was\ndrinking, I was drugging, I was doing all kinds of things. I was shot four\ntimes, no actually I was shot five times, and was stabbed four times. I've\nstill got the bullet holes in my body to prove it. One time I actually\nwent through a third story window and had my neck fractured and my lower\nback fractured, but by the grace of God I survived. And actually got up\nand walked away. But any rate, no, I wound up in the hospital though\nnonetheless.\nBut any rate, I got steeped in darkness and uh, one day in 1987 my wife and\n2374\nI really we just weren't hitting it off my first wife and I, I started to\nreally seek after help with my problems with alcohol, my depression and all\nthis other stuff. And I was practicing dark stuff and I just didn't put\ntwo and two together. I didn't know that that was the SOURCE of my\nOPPRESSIONS! I didn't know that. That's how deceived I was! AND I KNEW\nWHO SATAN WAS! I HELPED HIM WRITE SOME OF THE BATTLE PLANS!\nSo, my wife and I split up. And I left in 1987 for a pack of cigarettes\nand never came back. Came out here to the west coast. And boy, I'll tell\nyou, what happened then, that was the most amazing thing that's ever\nhappened to me in my entire life. And I'll praise and worship the Lord any\nway you want me to standing on my HEAD if he wants me to! (Comments from\naudience \"Yes! Yes! Hallelujah!) I founded New Earth Temple. And I used\nto go out and do all these works like help the homeless, feed the homeless.\nI used to try to clothe the homeless. I even lived with them. I had a\nbusiness out here for a while. I even lived with them. I gave up the\nbusiness to live with them. I worked with the Red Cross during the\nearthquake. I did everything trying to be a humanitarian, figuring, well,\nyou know God's got a weigh that this is good.\nI never really thought about the Lord, although, it's funny, or not funny\ndepending on kinda how you look at it, alot of times I'd hold Circles,\nwhich is like a service, with the covendom, and while they were all\nchanting he he, in Enochian, under my breath I was saying Praise the Lord\nJesus Christ. I was a hypocrite! Jesus Christ was my ace up my sleeve.\nNow I can't explain any of this. I don't know how to explain any of this.\nBut I do know one thing, God is not a loving god, he IS love! He is love!\n(amens from the audience.) PURE, UNADULTERATED LOVE! AND HE GAVE HIS ONLY\nBEGOTTEN SON THAT NONE OF US SHOULD PERISH, BUT LIVE AN EVERLASTING LIFE\nWITH HIM! And I can think of no better place to be than with God, who can\ntake Satan and just go like that and trash him in a moment. Satan knows\nthat the war has been won. But he's gonna take down as many people as he\ncan. I know he tried to take me down but I, I'm wise to him now. And not\nonly that, but I got his battle plans and I'm gonna expose him to the\nsaints ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!! ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!! (Applause from\naudience.) AND THAT INCLUDES (unintelligible)\nChristians are not wimps. Brother I know that we're not wimps. (audience\nresponse - yea) WE'RE THE MIGHTY SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE ONE LIVING\nGOD! WE ARE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD! WE ARE KINGS AND QUEENS, HEIRS TO TRONES\nIN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! AND WE WILL BE UP THERE WITH JESUS CHRIST AND WE\nwill have angels to judge. WE WILL RULE! WE ARE RULERS! We're better\nthan this. We are better than this what's happening out here in the world.\nGREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD! DON'T YOU EVER\nFORGET IT! (Applause and cheers from audience) AND REMEMBER, IT'S NOT YOU,\nBUT IT'S HIM, ABBA FATHER, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT FLOWS THROUGH YOU!\nTHROUGH THE AUTHORITY INVESTED IN YOU IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME THAT YOU CAN\nKICK SATAN RIGHT IN THE TAIL EVERY TIME AND WIN! Put the whole armor of\nGod on! (Applause and cheers.)\nGod alone. I didn't mean to get off track there, but every now and then\nthe Holy Spirit goes, \"Hey, Eric, say this.\" The Holy Ghost! (Laughter\nand applause from audience.)\nAny rate, I used to, I used to call, uh, since I had a bad experience with\nlegalism and all this other stuff, uh, churchianic stuff, you know, you're\ngoing to church and be like, boy if you, in some churches if you get up and\n2375\nyou say PRAISE THE LORD! and you really feel it, they go ssshhhh! Now wait\na second! You're supposed to worship the Lord with a SHOUT! THAT'S THE\nWAY THEY DID IT IN THE BIBLE! IT'S ALL OVER THE BIBLE! It even says Jesus\nis coming back with a shout! IT TELLS YOU HOW TO WORSHIP THE LORD WITH A\nSHOUT IN HIS HOUSE. SO LET THE WALLS OF THE TEMPLES SHAKE TO LET SATAN\nKNOW THAT YOU'RE THERE! DON'T GIVE HIM AN INCH, SAINTS, DON'T GIVE HIM AN\nINCH. Cause you give him an inch he'll take your life. He'll take your\nlife. That's a fact.\nSo I used to monitor what I used to call these right wing fundamentalist\npreachers. These, these preachers who'd deny us our rights. These free-\nflowing Pagans to worship the Mother Goddess ... and the God and to hug\non trees. You know, man, when I look back I, I'm surprised I didn't go\ninto a health food store and say, \"Uh, yeah, dude, uh, I'll order a bowl of\ndirt and a side to tree bark, man.\" And it was really wild. I was\ntwisted! But I was teaching a lot of people. A lot of people. I sowed a\nlot bad seed and I pray for a crop failure, oh, Father, I pray for a crop\nfailure! Cause what you sow so shall you reap. So I pray for that every\nday. I'll get on my knees till they bleed if I have to. I'll, I'll drop\nany time the Lord tells me to.\nSo, any rate, I monitored all these preachers and one day I'm sittin in my\noffice and I'm looking over all these radio show offers, I'm looking over\nthe book offers, and believe me, I had a lot of book offers. A lot of\npeople wanted to know what I had to say about the realm of the occult,\nabout the realm of the darkness. I was (unintelligible) riding a dark\nhorse. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE WHITE HORSE WAS A BETTER RIDE! A MUCH\nMORE POWERFUL RIDE! (Cheers from audience.) And isn't that quite a\ncoincidence that our Lord Jesus Christ is comin in on a white horse? With\na sword, I might add. And I'm glad I'm not on the receiving end, I'm\ntellin you that much.\nSo any rate, my wife comes in, he he, she comes running into the temple and\nshe's got this article and she knows I used to give fire and brimstone\nceremonies to the Pagans (unintelligible.) I'm tellin ya, I was so messed\nup it was unreal. I wish I had some of the tapes but we burnt up the\ntemple. Oh well. But she comes running into the office as white as a\nghost cause she knew this would get me really upset. And the article said\nthis is about Larry Lea, the article said \"God's Green Berets are comin in\nto San Francisco to exorcise it of demons, of the demons of prayer, uh,\nperversion, of witchcraft, of greed, and all these spirits, right?\"\nI said how DARE this man blasphemy Halloween! A HOLY DAY! Holy smoke was\nI wrong! I was big time wrong! But I got angry. And don't you ever\nbelieve that Satan's troopers are not organized. Oh, we have doctors, we\nhave lawyers. There are actually surgeons that are Satanists! We've got\none in the military that's a lieutenant colonel. And they're out there.\nAnd they're operating on you! What happens if one of their talismans falls\noff into your gut? One of their medallions or something? Whew! Ugh! Ohh\nthat gives me goosebumps just to think about it!\nSo, I got really fired up and throughout the computer network I told all\nthe\ndifferent pagans, all the covens, which is a group and groves which is an\neven, a coven is 13, a grove is larger than 13. I founded New Earth\nTemple,\nuh, New Earth Fellowship of Mankind in '83 and it's so big I don't even\nknow how many people there are in it anymore. I just, just, just disowned\n2376\nit. And I pray every day that they'll come to know the Lord Jesus Christ\n(Amens from audience.)\nAnd uh, I came out here and founded the New Earth Temple, which is like a\nlittle sister satellite. Put it under the same charter and, uh, I started\nsending out the battle cry. \"Here was another Jim Jones coming into town.\nThe witch trials were gonna start. Cotton Mathers revisited. I can see it\nnow. Here it comes. They're gonna break out the witch burning stakes and\nthey're gonna kill the homosexuals. They're gonna kill the poor, they're\ngonna kill the witches; they're gonna kill the wizards and the sorcerers\nand the warlocks. In the Bible it says suffer not a witch to live and all\nthis stuff.\"\nAnd I said \"Oh Lord!\" And I didn't use quite that word, I said \"Oh my\nGod,\" and God was listening to me. He said, \"yeah, Eric, I got a plan for\nyou. Wait till you see this one!\" But I didn't know it. I did not know\nit. So yeah, the battle cry. And I got a lot of response. And along with\nmy temple, I got in touch with all the gay rights activists, the civil\nrights activists, cause it was a political issue at first. To me it was\nlike, \"how dare you come into San Francisco wearing combat fatigues talking\nabout seizing it by force which is rightfully ours? I'm thinking what\nthe... what's this guy talking on? This is my temple. You're not seizing\nmy temple.\" You know? I didn't know what they were talking about, I was\njust reading the newspaper accounts.\nSo, the day before I got everybody all fired up and news started coming out\nof the woodwork. We were on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, we\nwere in the USA Today, CNN, every news station. I mean I saw the news\nprintout. This went as far as Australia and Sweden. The printout would go\nback and forth against this, uh, uh, uh, across this room several times.\nI've got stacks of articles. The whole world knew about this.\nAnd I'm thinking, yeah, right. Alright, the Pagans are gonna finally uh,\nbe able to voice what they have to voice, that they're an oppressed people.\nLittle did I know that Christian are even more oppressed because of who\nthey are. And the Strongman, we were doing the Strongman's work. And he's\nout there to do us down and dirty every time to each and every quarter\nthat's what he's gonna try to do.\nSo, I wound up doing a show called \"People are Talking.\" I had spies in\nthe Christian church. Since I had a temple I had to know what the Chris-\ntians were up to. So I just had spies go into Pastor Dave Bernal's church\nand Jubilee Christian Center. And I was just trying to figure out the way\nthat I could drop this man like Jimmy Swaggart, who I had occasion to meet\nJimmy Swaggart. And I was seeing that happen.\nWhen I was doing \"People Are Talking\", they put all the makeup on me and\nstuff in the makeup chair. And I heard that Dick Bernal had just walked\nin. And I said, \"well, this guy's gonna break out a witch burning stake\nand this is gonna be it. We're gonna go to blows.\" Well, I'm tellin you\nsomething, he was the sweetest, most loving transparent man I have ever met\nin my life. And he just loved on me. He talked to me. He talked to me.\nMan to man. I found out that we had a lot in common. And his wife, Carla,\nwho's got that that, that that tenacity, that pit bull like tenacity kept\nafter me about how much God loved me. And I'm like \"Get away I've got a\nshow to do - for the dark side. But I'm right and you're wrong. I don't\nknow what you people are.\" That, that, that love was imparted on me.\n2377\nSo, he said, uh, after the show, this was going to have some coffee. And\nhe said \"you, you're, you're going uh, to the uh, crusade?\" And I said,\n\"yeah, but I'm gonna have to go in disguise cause they published in the\nnewspaper I was coming there to disrupt the crusade.\" He said \"Why don't\nyou be my honored guest?\" I said \"what in the? That's one good way of\ngetting in.\" See, cause I had planned that if Larry Lea said one thing\nracist, elitist, bigoted, not a Christian - don't think I didn't know what\nChristianity was all about cause I even said on the news \"If they truly are\nChristian, they'll welcome me with open arms\" just like Jesus Christ\nwelcomes each and every one of you with open arms. And Lord have mercy,\nthey sure did.\nBut, I took a gun with me. I had it in my boot and I figured, \"if this\npreacher gets out of line and starts with the witch burnings, I'm gonna\nshoot this man. Even if I have to lose my life or whatever or go to jail,\nI'll shoot him.\" Because occultists believe just as strongly, a Satanist\nbelieves just as strongly, about what he's doing as a Christian does about\ntheir belief. Some of those really don't care. They even have some of them\nso deceived they don't even know. They don't know what to believe in, so\nthey'll worship a desk. And there are people that do that. There are\npeople that worship inanimate objects all the time.\nSo, what happened, the day before the crusade we had a circle and it was\nsupposed to be a circle, like a service, to bind up and cast down.\nInterestingly enough, we were using the same words, that's how you know\nwhen they say that the Devil will use palid half-truths that will sound\nalmost right? Sounded almost right to me. It sounded right to me,\nactually. Actually, the circle in on the videotape. And we got these\nPagans together and there was uh a little bit more than 75 it was more like\na few hundred just at the day, the circle the day before. That didn't\ninclude the army we had for the next day. Ha ha. We had a surprise\ncoming. We were gonna go to war.\nAnd I'll tell you what happened. We had our circle. It started out to be\na binding. We figured if any negative energy that was gonna come along\nwith this guy Larry Lea onto the people because we knew the power of\nprayer. We knew about the power of prayer. Now Witches have their own\nversion of prayer. THERE IS POOWER IN WORDS! THAT'S WHY THE LORD WANTS\nYOU TO SHOUT! And sometimes it takes shouting to wake up the dead!\nSo. We had our circle. And things got out of hand, it just haha, whew\nboy did it get out of hand! Well, what happened was it started out to be a\nsimple enough binding circle we'd keep the energy in there and nobody\ngetting hurt and we could get (unintelligible.) In the news just your\nbasic Pagan ritual in downtown San Francisco. Sounds a little bit like\nSoddom and Gomorrah to me, I don't know about you guys but's its an\nunderstatement for San Francisco. Unfortunately - you guys do a lot of\npraying for them there. By the way, let me tell you something, Colorado is\na hornet's nest. You guys may or may not be aware of it. They're just not\nas blatant about it here. But they're there. They're watching me. They\nknow I'm here. AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE NOT IN HERE! Well great. Because\nevery chance I get I'll pull down the devil's pants and kick him in the\ntail. (Applause from audience.)\nWell, what I was gonna say, we pulled up. We pulled up in the car and I\ngot out. I was the first one out of the car. Pastor said, he said Eric\nyou go out first he, he. They're your people and they're a real ugly\nlooking crowd. Believe me they were an ugly looking crowd. There was\n2378\nthousands of them there. There was more like 5,000 of them there. And\nthey were all dressed like Freddy Krueger. Some of them were wearing their\nwhole Satanic garb. The Witches were wearing their white Witch garb. How\nmany of you know there's no such thing between a white Witch and a black\nWitch? It's all the Satan. Some it's just a little bit sweeter tasting.\nA little bit more deceptive. It's all the same.\nSo, I got out of the car first. When I got out of the car, they started to\nstep out and the crowd just ROARED. They were so happy to see me. Cause\nthey knew that the High Priest of New Earth Temple, a man who spearheaded\nand threw all this stuff together was gonna go in there and disrupt the\ncrusade. Then Dick Bernal gets out of the car. Then they were really\nconfused. The roar just like instantly stopped and they looked like, huh?\nAnd so Dick Bernal, wearing his casual double-breasted suit, huh,\n(unintelligible)\nIt was really funny. I'm a totally different person now. And when you see\nthe tape you can see. You know, the Lord did this in just a couple of\nmonths time too. WHICH IS EVEN MORE AMAZING! GOD STILL WORKS MIRACLES!\nAND HE EVEN HAD THE SECULAR MEDIA THERE TO DOCUMENT IT AND HE HAD THE\nCHRISTIAN MEDIA THERE TO DOCUMENT IT AND THEY PUT IT ON THIS TAPE SO THAT\nHE COULD SAY \"THE DEVIL IS A LIAR\"! (Applause and cheers from audience)\nAND I'S ON TAPE! WE GOT IT ON TAPE! And we got it on tape. Devil you are\na liar. We got you with your pants down now! And I'll tell you, he\ndoesn't even want this tape out. Pastor, Pastor Cordova will tell you what\nwe went through gettin these tapes here. Unbelievable. These tapes are so\nhard to keep in stock it's.... he doesn't want it. He doesn't want his\npants pulled down. Maybe because there's no genitalia there or nothing. I\ndon't know (laughter from audience). Who knows!\nBut I'll tell you something, I walked through the crowd and as I walked\nthrough the crowd, I could feel. You know how you can just feel when\nsomeone doesn't like you? I'll tell you somethin, I, I felt hatred. I\nfelt anger. Matter of fact, you'll see one young man on the tape saying\n\"We're coming here to hate the Christians.\" Literally we're coming here to\nbe hateful. I really didn't want to hate anybody, I just didn't want any\nof this, this, (unintelligible) stuff on me. That's all. That's all.\nPlus I wanted to hear the other side of the story. There's two sides to\nevery coin. Ha.. There's the dark and there's the light. There's those\nthat know Jesus, and those that don't. It's that simple. Ha. It's really\nthat simple.\nSo what happened was I walked into the auditorium and I felt behind my back\nI could feel like a...kinda like if you've ever been uh, uh, body surfing\nin the ocean you've got that rush that just pushes you along, kinda felt\nthat rushing, pushing, hateful energy on my back. And I looked over my\nshoulder and I could see through the glass doors and the barriers and the\nriot police with all his combat gear on all these people and they looked so\ndiseased and so sick. Half of them had AIDS. The other half was just\ntotally had blown minds. All doped up, smoked up and choked up. They were\nout there and they were saying some of the most disgusting things I ever\nheard. And they were throwing ripe fruit at the Christians and eggs and\nthey were being physically violent. As a matter of fact, I saw one young\ngirl get kicked in the back. She couldn't have been any older than 8 or 9\nyears old. They ripped her coat off of her. And not one Christian, not\none spirit-filled Christian took a Bible and threw it back at em. And how\nmany of you know how heavy a Bible can be? It can be a pretty formidable\n2379\nweapon if you want to use it in a carnal way. BUT IT'S AN EVEN MORE\nPOWERFUL WEAPON WHEN YOU USE IT AS A SWORD! (Applause from audience.)\nSo, not one Christian, not one Christian threw a Bible. Not one Christian\ngoaded anybody on. And they forged through in and when I looked over my\nshoulder and I saw all that, I immediately felt ... my heart broke. I\nlooked over my shoulder and I said \"My God, am I responsible for that? Yep\nyou sure are, Brother. You're the one who ha ha got everybody crazy, yeah,\nyou're responsible for that. If someone gets hurt of killed, it's on you,\nBrother. And I thought, whew, blah.\" But when I looked in the auditorium\nthrough the doors, I felt something else. I felt love coming out of\nthere. But it wasn't, it, I, I, I didn't really , it didn't read across at\nfirst as love. It was just something different. Something that I wanted\nto run to. I was drawn to it.\nAnd when I went in there, people who I would normally find ugly and\ndisgusting and aesthetically not pleasing to an eye, and I'm an artist, I\nmade some good money in the art world, people that I would normally find\nugly, people that I would walk up and say \"did anybody ever tell you you\nare UGLY!\" Well I'm telling you something, man I mean I was really a nasty\nperson, too, sometimes, and , uh, but now I'm nasty for the Lord when it\ncomes to Satan. So any rate, I, all these people looked beautiful. It was\nlike they were glowing. Like, I don't know how to explain it. It was\namazing. And so I went in there and then expected the typical \"Gee\nBrother, God loves you. Here's a Bible tract.\" and walk on. \"Have you\nheard the word of God lately.\" \"Yeah, I'll send him a postcard. I'll call\nhim.\" That was all I expected. I expected a bunch of crazed Christians to\nsing a bunch of songs, whoop and holler for a little while and tell me\nabout how much God loved me, and that would be it.\nThere was something special about these Christians. These Christians were\nfilled with the Holy Ghost, and they had LOVE! AND GOD IS LOVE! THAT\nMEANT THEY HAD GOD IN THEIR HEARTS! AND THAT'S WHAT WON ME OVER! But it\nwas a battle! Oh the Strongman worked hard! He worked overtime on me to\nkeep me from coming back to the Father. Maybe I wasn't even in the\nkingdom, I don't know.\nBUT I KNOW NOW! And I'll tell you something, I see the twinkle in their\neyes and you know when the music started they all swaying and getting into\nthe spirit there, hands were going up and they're speaking in tongues and\nall this, and I said \"What do you people do? Drop acid and drink and get\nhigh and then come to a prayer meeting? What is going on here?\"\nSo I did my best. \"I am the High Priest of New Earth Temple, Reverend Dr.\nEric J. Pryor. I will maintain at ALL times.\" And I'll tell you, I kept\non feeling the Holy Ghost and I'm tell you that when they started singing\n\"CALLING DOWN FIRE\" man, they were singing that song bigtime, I'll never\nforget it. It's my theme song now, I love it I can't stop singing it.\nCause I know what it means now! CALLING DOWN THE HOLY SPIRIT! And I'll\ntell you, my foot started going and I said \"Nope!\" Can't dance. No. I'm a\nHigh Priest, I'm a High Priest. Had my collar on, my pentacle and\neverything.\nAll the Christians are looking at me like this, but they were loving on\nme. They were loving on me. And the music kept on going and my hand\nstarted. \"Nope, Nope, Nope! Man if the media gets one shot of you,\nBrother, you're career is over. You have no more power. Those 20,000,\n50,000 Pagans. Forget it!\" So I maintained pretty much a parade rest like\n2380\nattitude. You can see that in the video. But I was fighting the Holy\nGhost. The Holy Ghost was saying, \"Hey, Eric, I want to love on you. I\nwant to be inside you man. I want to work through you. I LOVE YOU! I\nLOVE YOU!\" And I didn't know that. And I stood there and I'm telling you\nsomething, it was a battle like I've never, ever felt in my heart.\nSo, the first night, man, I'll tell you something, I, I, I walked out and I\nwas. I was in a daze. I was in a trance. I, I, I thought maybe they had\ndeveloped some kind of subliminal laser technology or brainwashing. Maybe I\nwas being emotionally......\n(Some lost due to turning the tape)\n...and say \"Be Healed\"! In whose name was I healing 'em? Not the Lord's,\nhe he, the Strongman had me deceived and the doctors deceived me too. So I\nloved it. Well, David Bremmer, Pastor Bernal and Carla and me, we slipped\nout through a side door. They threw tear gas grenades at us. We slipped\nout through the side door and everybody's choking on the tear gas and I've\nbeen in so many riots in San Francisco it's like, \"Hey, oxygen, you know.\"\nSo, I came out the side door, man and we went walking through the park.\nAll... already there's a homeless dude in the park \"Hey, Eric, what's up\nman? You coming to the park Monday?\"\n\"Yeah, I'll be there, no sweat.\"\n\"Hey, good going. Yeah, you give those Christians hell.\"\nHuh. Satan was giving him hell, not the Christians. So what happened was\nwhile they walked in front of me, I furtively reached in my boot and I\nthrew the automatic in the garbage pail and I said \"Nah I don't want to\nhurt this man Larry Lea because everything that this man said I could agree\nwith. So there was a blackout. The media blackout. The media was at my\ndoor all the time. They wanted to know what I thought about this.\nI went home and I was, I was changed already, but I didn't know that. And\nmy wife, I'm laying down in the bed kinda like this (rigid posture). My\nwife said to me \"Well how was it?\"\n\"Don't ask!\"\nI went in that temple room and how many of you know that when there is\nreally heavy duty demonic presence it's like a refrigerator? It's like a\nrefrig, it's cold. Well the temple became cold. Everything, everything\nlost its glint, it's glitter, it's, it's, it's the fascination was all\ngone! It was a hollow place! I was practicing what they technically call\nthe Olde Religion and what do you do to old things? You bury them. It's a\ndead religion. And that's exactly what it was was a religion it had\nnothing to do with God. It was man made. It was an Adamism.\nSo, I lay in bed that night, I, I didn't get any sleep. Just like I\nhaven't gotten any sleep since I got to Colorado. (Laughter from aud-\nience.) Well, now, I did get a little today. About 5 minutes.\nSo any rate, well, running on the Holy Ghost, you know. A little coffee\nevery now and then doesn't hurt either. So, uh, I laid there in bed all\nnight and uh, my wife she, she, she slept pretty well, but she kinda felt\nfunny too. And, and I said to her, this was the next day for the crusade\nand I was invited back. I had a VIP seat. Boy they really had me. The\n2381\nChristians are really tricky when they want to reel one in, especially the\nbig fish. \"Give em a VIP seat. Make im think he's important. Put his\nname on it. Yes, and call him doctor even though he's a befuddled Satan-\nist. Yes, Dr. Pryor, here's your seat.\" Stoked my ego bigtime. How many\nof you know that Satan's got a bigtime ego and so do his soldiers? You\nknow what I'm saying? So, you know, I took the bait. The Lord gave you\njust the bait to use.\nSo I said the second day I said to my wife, \"Look,\" well, she's now my\nwife. She wasn't my wife before but uh Pastor Dick Bernal married us by\nthe way. I AM NOW A MARRIED MAN! IN THE EYES OF THE LORD! (applause from\naudience) She couldn't come on this trip, but when I come back, I'm gonna\nbring her. She's got an interesting story to tell too. As a matter of\nfact, she's in the tape too. And uh, so then, my wife's a scientist.\nSecular scientist. Very well educated. You know I'm kinda stupid compared\nto her.\nI said, \"Look, Sondra, you're gonna have to come with me and help me figure\nthis out because they think... they're doin somethin there, and you can\nfeel it. Boy if you could bottle it and sell it, you'd get rich.\" How\nmany of you recognize that story from somewhere in the Bible? Uh...lemme\nsee now, if memory serves me correctly, it might have been one of my\nancient ancestors by the name of Simon, when I was practicing. I'm no\nlonger a practicing occultist. Simon tried to buy this and bottle it. And\nthat's exactly what I thought I might be able to do, walk away with some of\nthat. Restore the energy in here and use it.\nSo I brought her with me the second day. And I said, \"And whatever you do,\ndo NOT become born again. If you come back here born again, you're out of\nhere! You can't be THE Priestess of no New Earth Temple if you're a born\nagain Christian!\" hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite, cause I knew something\nabout Jesus Christ. I just knew it was real. I just didn't know about the\nHoly Spirit. I didn't know that the Holy Spirit is that which not only uh,\nuh helps you do things that you can not only, can not only do, it helps you\nwith preparation when you're reading the Word and all that other stuff, but\nthat the Holy Spirit is what helps you walk a Christian walk, WHICH IS A\nVERY VERY NARROW WALK! BUT SATAN'S IS WIDE, REAL WIDE, and you can fall\ninto the darkness so easy, so so easy.\nSo any rate, I told her, I said, \"Don't you come back born again on me.\"\nAnd this time, (unintelligible). Every now and then, you know, the music\nwould be going and everybody'd by \"calling down fire\" and all these\nbeautiful songs. First of all, I never really listened to much music\nexcept to Pagan drumming, or Pagan flute playing, or whatever, and, and I\nLIKED this music! And you know I started to notice something. Like, for\ninstance, the Christian band looked like Motley Crue! Half of them were\nglowing and had long hair and stuff and I said \"Wait a second. This is\nkinda messed up here. Aren't Christians supposed to have short hair?\"\nChristians with EARRINGS in, wearing bizzarre -- don't they all wear, like\nblack mortician's suits and have short hair and drive big cars and go to\nbarbeques on Sunday and talk about \"How great was your game of golf,\nGeorge? \"I shot three under par. What did you shoot? \"Ah, I got a double\neagle today.\" I played golf today. But I played it in the spirit! And I\npray in tongues when I play golf. I'm not a bad golfer for someone who's\nonly into golf for a couple of months.\nSo any rate, I said to her, \"Don't you come back born again.\" So we're\nlistening to the music and everybody's swaying and Carla's getting drunk in\n2382\nthe spirit again and everyone tried to figure out WHAT IS THIS! We felt it\ntoo, though. So I mean, we literally looked, you know, like at the\nfixtures to see if there was some kind of laser technology in there. Maybe\nthere's something underneath the seats.\nOne of the funny things that was happened is I never really eat candy.\nI'll have a little bit of coffee with my sugar and I'm sure Pastor Cordova\nand Pastor Bryan over here will bear witness to that, but I don't really\neat candy. Just never really, lost the taste for it somewhere along the\nline they had these body guards up there for me and this one body guard,\nJerry Hill, boy God bless him, he was the head usher, he is the head usher\nat Jubilee, kept on going \"here, you want some candy? want some candy?\"\nAnd I'm thinking \"These stupid Christians. They think they can buy me off\nwith a lunch, a couple of cups of coffee, and candy? Ah how simple-minded\nthey are! What a bunch of fools! I'm gonna take 'em for a ride!\" What I\ndidn't know is that it was sanctified candy. (laughter from audience) IT\nHAD BEEN PRAYED OVER. AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS EATIN' SO MUCH OF IT.\nIT TASTED SO GOOD! SEE, IT TASTES THAT THE LORD IS GOOD! (Applause from\naudience.) And the Lord is good.\nSo, Sondra and I are eating all this candy, and the music's going and I\nkept on going \"Nope, can't dance.\" And I had to stomp on my wife's foot\nevery now and then make sure she wouldn't dance. \"Now Quit it!\" you know?\nSo, that night Pastor Bernal took us home and Pastor Bremmer, and he said\n\"look, uh, you know, I'm, I'm leaving for Hawaii. I gotta be in Hawaii,\nbut Pastor David Bremmer, my associate pastor, it comes to mind, I didn't\nlike this guy I call him PRESTO PASTOR, cause he's so SPARKY! and the guy\nis just enjoying the Lord, man, this guy fasts 40 days every year. He's\namazing, you know. And I really grew a love for these people. You know, I\nnormally didn't , I NORMALLY never got close to anybody, but I loved these\npeople cause they were loving ME! GOD WAS IN THEM! GOD WAS LOVING ON ME\nTHROUGH THESEPEOPLE, just like you should be loving in the world out there,\nso that youcan bring them in! That's the bait, LOVE! Cause God is Love!\nSO USE GODAS THE BAIT Let it flow through you!So what happened. Pastor\nDick went to Hawaii and I thought \"Well, never seehim again. It's been\nnice. Got a couple of free meals out of him, but Istill don't know what's\nhappening with these Christians. I agree with whatthey're saying, but I\nthink it may be Silvia(sic) Mind Control. Maybe theyah, are in cahoots\nwith Ron L. Hubbard or something, or EST or who knows?\"But I still kept on\nfeeling that feeling! IT WASN'T IN THE HEAD, IT WAS INTHE HEART! THERE'S\nA BIG DIFFERENCE! Satan works on the head. He can'tget in the heart if\nthere's light in there. And, boy, you could see itthrough the Christians,\nyou could see Christians on fire for the Lord causeyou can see it in their\neyes. And, you know, they say that they eyes arethe windows of the soul,\nor a mirror, or whatever. That's true, man, youcan see God. A true,\nspirit-filled, full gospel Christian, you can see it.So, what happened? I\nwent back the last night. This was the night of thetest. The same thing\nhappened all over again, calling down fire and \"I amDoctor Eric J. Pryor,\nReverend Minister, High Priest of New Earth Temple, Iam in FULL control. I\nAM in full, full, full control. I am. Stop it! I amin full control.\" And\nthat's what the last night was like. But, uh, whathappened was, Sondra and\nI went home, well, what, before that, I said, \"let's put there magick to\nthe test.\" That's what we called it, gettingslain in the spirit in the\nHoly Spirit and laying on hands. I called thatmagick. That's what\noccultists do. You see the same thing. I used to beable to go like that\nAND knock people down ten feet away. I used to gowhew! like that and\nthey'd go right down. Ha, I don't know what I wasslayin' em in, but I was\nslayin' em in somethin'. Like mud, you know?So what happened? She had a\n2383\nheadache that day, really bad. She suffersfrom migraine headaches and she\nhad a runny nose. So, I said to her, eachnight they put out an altar call\nfor healing. And I said, \"OK, let's putthis Christian magick to the test\".\nSo I said, \"YOU go up and get healed.We'll use you as a guinea pig. I'll\njust go up, kinda behind you.\" Ha haha. They laid hands on her, but\neverybody went on me like this! And theywere praying and they were praying\nand they were praying and I was going. Imean the Holy Ghost was going\nthrough me bigtime. They just kept on lovingon me. And I'll tell you, I\nwalked out of there knock-kneed; floating onwho knows what? I know now,\nthe Holy Ghost. Ha ha. By impartation.And I went home that night. Sondra\nand I were laying down in bed togetherand this time our house was like, I\nwas expecting icicles to start you know,forming on the roof of the house,\nand, uh, she said, uh, \"Do you feel it?\"I said \"Yeah\". She said \"Can you\nsleep?\" I said \"no\". I said, \"Can yousleep?\" She said \"no\". So \"Well,\nwhat are we going to do?\" \"I don'tknow\". And we just laid there.We just\nlaid there and they all went back to Jubilee. Our Christian friendswe,\nwell they said, \"well, when we get back,\" Pastor said \"when we getback,\nwe'll invite you down to Jubilee.\" So, I called up Jubilee. It was,h, uh,\nI think it was on a Saturday and I got their answering machine. AndI think\nwell, uh, Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, it was a Sunday cause I thoughtthey\nwould answer the phone at church. I got their answering machine said\"Wel-\ncome to the Jubilee Christian Center if you know the extension numberpush\nthe button now.\" AND I FELT THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY GHOST OVER THE PHONETH-\nROUGH AN ANSWERING MACHINE! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! AND I SAID WHOA!THIS\nIS GOOD! For a couple of weeks, until I got a chance to go back toJubilee\nI used to just call up and listen to that voice, and I feltbetter. And I'd\npass the phone back and forth to Sondra. We got a BIGphone bill! Who\ncares? It felt great!So they sent us up, they put us up. Actually, before\nthat, I gotta tellyou, I had a meeting with Larry Lea. Before the third\nnight early in themorning. Larry Lea never talks to anybody during the\ncrusades. He's alwaysin prayer. This brother's a big time prayer. You\nknow, he prays and heobeys. I do the same thing. Pray and obey. That's\nit! That's all thereis to it.And I'll tell you somethin', Dick Bernal\ncalls me up first thing in themorning last night of the crusade and says\n\"Hey, Eric, Larry Lea wants tomeet you. He's got a burden on his heart.\"\nAnd I'm saying, \"OK, this is mywarning. I know it. They got the witch\nburning stake in back of theroom. They got a limo or a Rolls or something.\nYeah, that's it, yeah.Those money-making Christians with witch burning\nstakes. Hypocrites!\" Nah, nothing like that. They brought me over there,\nwent into this little roomand there was Larry. Kinda like that. And, uh,\nwe sat in his makeup roomand boy, I'll tell you, he was the most humble man\nI had ever met. And thetwinkle in his beautiful blue eyes and that smile.\nAnd I, I used to, I, Icouldn't even stand a Texan, Texas accent. But he,\neverybody in Texasaccent I always wanted to punch for some reason, You\nknow? And he had thisTexas accent, and, and I loved it!And I'd (unintel-\nligible) that things were working so great that I, ha, hereI am, High\nPriest of New Earth Temple. I hadn't made my decision yet, but Iknew that\nit was eventually coming. Something was comin' anyway. PastorDick Bernal\nwas sitting next to me and, uh, uh, Larry said, \"Do you mind ifI, if I tape\nthis?\" And I looked up and I said \"Pastor Dick, what do youthink?\" Little\ndid I know, I'd be calling him \"Pastor Dick\" and sharing hisoffice with him\nat Jubilee! It's incredible, I mean, things happen, right?So Larry says to\nme, he says \"Eric, can we talk?\" We shared about outbackgrounds and he\nsaid \"Eric, look.\" He said, \"I can see in your heartthat you're a man\nwho's truly seeking the truth.\" And he said \"Seek and yeshall find.\" and\nwrote Matthew 7:7 in my Prayer Warrior Bible, which I justrecently gave\naway to a man who's a spirit filled Christian who's gone overto the Middle\nEast, and I said \"Look, I know Larry Lea sent 79,000 of thoseover there to\n2384\nthe Middle East. You show them this Prayer Warrior Bible andyou tell them\nit's from Eric Pryor a man who went from Pagan to Pentecostand I bear\nwitness to Larry Lea and his ministry and what a wonderful thinghe's doing.\nYou go out there and you witness on the field. You just bringthis Bible\nwith you. Maybe it'll stop a bullet, I don't know.\" (applausefrom\naudience.)So what happened? Uh, he said to me, \"Eric, I'm not here to make\na convertout of you. Only the Holy Spirit can convict you.\" So what I did\nwas Isaid to him, \"Look, all I'm interested in is the truth and if the\ntruth be abucket of water, I'll drink it.\" He caught that on camera. The\nLorddocumented all of this, it's amazing! He said \"I want an air-tight\nwitnessso we can really kick Satan where it hurts.\"So what happened was, I\nwent to Jubilee. They put me up in a hotel room fora couple of nights and\ngave me a chance to rest and the next day I went toJubilee. Now I knew\nthat alot of other people knew that I was pallingaround with Dick Bernal,\nand I knew that they'd know what was up and Iwasn't talking to anybody\nbecause a battle was raging in my heart forweeks. Before Dick Bernal came\nback there was a lapse of time. And I wentto Jubilee Christian Center and\nI listened to the Pastor speak. And onceagain I felt that feeling. I felt\nthat love of God. They prayed, theyyelled before the Lord, they sang songs\nof praises. I felt it in my heartonce again and I could see it in all\ntheir eyes again and I said \"I wantthat.\"And I could see alot of people\nfrom New Earth Temple and other temples Iwent to in that audience. I was\npretty nervous. I was afraid of abullet. How many of you know \"no one who\ncomes against you shallprosper?\" I didn't travel up here with body guards\nthis time. I do sometimes. And so any rate, they had an altar call. And\nhe looked at me.He had me right in the front row once again, where all eyes\nwere upon me,he, he, he. And he had an altar call. And I felt, I felt the\nSpirit of theLord call me. He said, \"Eric, come to me. I love you. I\nLOVE YOU!\" Justlike he LOVES each and every one of you. He even loves the\nsinner. He justwants that sinner to come to him. So I got up and I\nrededicated my life tothe Lord and I repented. And I immediately, I had\nno(unintelligible) theBook of Acts, I didn't know about this, but I\nimmediately in the back roomsaid to the pastor, I said, \"NEW EARTH TEMPLE\nMUST COME DOWN BY MY HAND!\"I couldn't believe I said that, but I knew it.\nAnd we took hundreds ofthousands, I mean the crystal collection alone was\n$60,000, other thingswere priceless museum quality pieces, we don't know\nhow much value theywere, and book contracts and everything and we just went\ninto New EarthTemple and uh, we videotaped this. We've got this on the\ntape. Talk aboutpoltergeist activity and the Exorcist, this was even\nworse. I mean PastorBremmer was choked. We thought he was gonna drop on\nus.The lights and the camera were on the same circuit. The camera kept\nongoing but the lights kept on going on and off. Part of that footage\ntheycouldn't use because I didn't have a re-cleaned-up mouth at the time,\nso Iwas using some very carnal language. But we tore out the temple and\nweburnt it in front of Jubilee Christian Center in front of a several\nthousandpeople. And, uh, the day of the burning the Strongman actually\ntried tostop it. It started to rain a little. And we're having a hard\ntime withrain in California. And it started to rain a little and we\nthought \"Oh,we're not even going to be able to have our bonfire because of\nthe rain.\"But it didn't rain. There was just dark clouds over Jubilee.And\nwe burnt down New Earth Temple and it all went up. And the fire was sohot\nand you'll probable see things like this. One box in one of the uh,fire\npits that we couldn't burn. It should go up like that. It's made outof\nrosewood. That cheap Indian stuff that should just go whoosh. Itwouldn't\nburn because of the contents in it. I mean it was amazing. Thedumpster\nmelted. The dumpster. The steel dumpster melted. I mean that'show hot\nthe fire was. So New Earth Temple was no more and I tell you, Ifelt,\nwhoosh, whoosh, all the stuff coming out of me. I could not believeit. I\n2385\nwas like. Get out of the way! It was just coming out of me. Justsmashing\neverything up. And I felt like I didn't even have any weight. Ifelt like\nI was air.And after it was all over, all was said and done, and I'd\nrededicated mylife to the Lord, and I said, \"Lord, I have nothing to offer\nyou back. Me,that's it, that's all I have. And I'll get rid of New Earth\nTemple and Iwill pray and I will obey and I will magnify you and I will\nglorify you allmy days and I will try to impart the very love that you have\nshown me. I'lltry to love on other people too, Lord. And Lord, if you\ngive me the chance,I'll go around, ALL AROUND THE WORLD PULLING DOWN\nSATAN'S PANTS. I'LL DOIT!\"So, as a result of watching Jubilee (unintel-\nligible) a little bit oflunch. As everybody knows these prayer warriors\nneed to ear. Man does notlive on air alone. He lives on a little bit of\nthe, you know this pastorcan bear witness to that. Full Gospel. So what\nhappened was, uh, as wewere driving away, now this is really interesting,\nwe had that dark blackcloud covering, and Carla and I were sitting in the\nback of the car and welooked over our shoulders, over at Jubilee and there\nwas still dark cloudsexcepting right over Jubilee there was a hole in the\nsky and there werebrilliant, brilliant, brilliant sunlight shining on\nJubilee.That year alone Jubilee grew 1,500 members. We're into '91 and\nit's growinglike wildfire. And you know why? Because they're worshiping\nthe Lord with shouts and there is no room for the spirit of religion. It's\nnot all about \"I've been a Christian longer than you, so I know more.\"\nIt's all about JESUS CHRIST, THE LIVING SON OF GOD! (APPLAUSE FROM AUD-\nIENCE) AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND ALL THE PROPHETS. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT\nSITTING ON THOSE PEWS WARMING 'EM. IF I HAD A CHURCH, I'D TAKE THE PEWS\nOUT AND MAKE 'EM STAND!IT SAYS YOU SHALL SHOUT BEFORE THE LORD! AND THAT'S\nWHAT WE DO! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS GETTING SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT WITH\nDIGNITY. WHEN YOU FALL YOU LOOK JUST AS STUPID AS EVERYBODY ELSE. WHETHER\nYOU ARE WEARING A $600 SUIT OR A PAIR OF HAND-ME-DOWN JEANS. WHEN YOU'RE\nSLAIN IN THE SPIRIT, YOU'RE SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT! WHEN THE LORD WANTS YOU\nTO DO DOWN, YOU GO DOWN. YOU PRAY AND YOU OBEY! And you be humble before\nthe Lord. And I'll tell you what that Holy Spirit is moving through you\nand you got the whole armor of God upon you, let me tell you something,\nBrothers and Sisters, Dear ones, let me tell you something, you can do a\nmighty, mighty work! YOU DON'T MESS WITH NO CHILD OF GOD! (amens, etc.\nfrom audience.) SATAN SEES THAT HOLY SPIRIT AND HE FLEES. DEVIL GET OUT,\nAND HE MOVES! HE MOVES BIGTIME cause he knows that the war has been won\nthrough our Lord Jesus Christ.When Jesus Christ died for us, and he saidhow\nheavy his heart must have been when he thought \"Father, Father, whyhas't\nthou forsaken me?\" Who in their right mind would not fall to theirknees\nand go \"oh, oh God, you gave your only begotten son so that I mighthave\nlife everlasting!\" I am the father of two beautiful young boys and Idon't\nknow if I could bear to see my kids nailed to a tree for people that I\ndidn't even know, BUT GOD LOVES YOU THAT MUCH! SO TAKE THAT PRECIOUS GIFT\nAND RUN WITH IT! THERE ARE PROMISES AND PRIVILEGES FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD\nAND YOU TAKE THEM AND YOU RUN WITH THEM!A new church is being birthed here,\npeople. A CHURCH THAT IS GOING TO HONOR THE LORD GOD AMLIGHTY IN A BIG\nWAY! AND IT'LL PRAISE HIM AND(unintelligible). He knows. He knows. You\nshall worship the Lord with ashout and be humble before the Lord and know\nthat it's not you. It's Godworking through you. And that the Lord doesn't\nneed you, he doesn't needyou! But he calls you and he will allow you to\nwork for him. My everyneed. I haven't had (unintelligible). I don't hold\na secular job. I comeout here on a wing and a prayer wondering whether or\nnot I'll be shot. Idon't know. Take the red-eye flight at 4:30 in the\nmorning I get in here, a couple of hours sleep and I'll do whatever the\nLord wants me to becauseSatan's a LIAR! AND I'M GONNA TELL PEOPLE ABOUT\nIT! AND HE AIN'T GONNASTOP ME! Not so long as I have the power and the\nauthority through JesusChrist and the Holy Spirit running through me no\n2386\nway. No way. He cannot stop me.And I'll tell you, when I go I want to go\nwith a shout of praise to theLord. When I go from this world into the\nkingdom of heaven I want to be goABBA! And he's gonna go WELL DONE, OH\nGOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT! AND HE'SGONNA WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY EYES! AND\nI'M GONNA SIT ON A THRONE, AND I'MGONNA GET A CROWN! BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, I\nAM AN HEIR, I AM A PRINCE becauseof Jesus Christ! (amens, etc. from\naudience.) And I've got the mostpowerful weapon in the world. This\n(holding up a Bible) could make anuclear device look silly. You can win a\nwar with this. You can win a warwith this. And I'm tellin' you somethin',\ndear ones, we are not on thedefensive as Christians. We are on the\noffense. TO TAKE BACK WHAT'SRIGHTFULLY OURS! WE ARE TO GAIN GROUND.\nDON'T GIVE SATAN ONE INCH OR HE'LL TAKE A MILE, AND HE'LL TAKE YOU DOWN\nWITH HIM! And he will, he will. That brother upstairs blew his brains out\nand you should see what was on the kid's walls! Slayer! Van Halen! Drug\nparaphernalia! But, Praise God, his father's here tonight! (applause from\naudience!)I was at Bible Temple today, the Lord said, \"Go out there and\nmake disciples among men.\" He didn't say go out there and make converts,\nbut first you have to be converts. First you have to accept the Lord.\nThen you gotta go to a place where you can be discipled and taught the\nthings of God, like I'm being taught. And I'm so blessed. Thank you\nFather! Oh, I thank you Father for what you're doing to my life and what\nyou're doing in all the saints' lives. Cause I've surely been blessed\nbecause I know some really serious people in the Lord.Well, I know this\nbrother here and I'm watching a church be birthed and, and I know that I\nwas here, and and and I was over at Pastor Bryan's church, Bible Temple,\nthis morning. I'm so blessed. I really felt so blessed. You know, we\nwent out and we had lunch and my motto is one a day for the Lord at least\nto keep my hand in the battle. We were sittin there and the Holy Ghost\nsaid to me, \"Eric, that waitress needs the lord.\" Pastor Bryan, you want\nto come up here, Brother. Why don't you tell them what happened? Now this\nis the way the Holy, the Holy Spirit works. The Holy Spirit put it on\nme.Now we're gonna be casting out oppression. We're gonna be casting\noutdemons and we're gonna have an altar call for those of you who areback-\nslid. The Lord'll take you back. We're gonna have an altar call forall\nyou who are oppressed. We're gonna have an altar call for all of youwho\nare having children who have problems. We'll lay hands on the parentsand\nby impartation you go home and you lay your hands on your kids. Youwatch\nover your children. You are stewards of your children. We'll havethat\naltar call and be blessed by it.Don't miss that opportunity! Cause, I'll\ntell you something, I might walkright out the door and they'll be rapture\nand I'll be gone. He, he, he. Ican't wait. I'm having a hard time\ndealing with these cars and snow andcold and clothes. But, Pastor Bryan,\nhere he'll tell you. Tell you how the Lord works. The Lord puts it upon\nyou real quick Here's Pastor Bryan from Bible Temple. Give this brother a\nbig hand. (applause from audience.) We're gonna help bring the spirit of\nrevival BACK TO WJERE IOT BELONGS RIGHT HERE IN DENVER SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE\nSATAN (UNINTELLIGIBLE) (APPLAUSE FROM AUDIENCE).Before we have our altar\ncall, and that is, none of the proceeds of thistape go to me. All I'm\ninterested in is sowing seed. And I don't want toleave Colorado with a\ntape, and I'll tell you why. You see, it's not onlywere they hard to get\nhere, he, it was only by the grace of God that theygot here, believe me,\nbut, uh, this is probably going to be one of the mostpowerful tools that\nyou'll ever have. Has anybody here seen this tapeyet? Can anybody bear\nwitness to what's on this tape? It's a mighty,mighty tape.I mean this was\nGod's work. It's not my work, this is not Jubilee's work.This was God's\nwork. And I don't want to go home back to Jubilee with onetape. I wanna\nknow that you've got some more ammunition that you can showthe youth. That\nyou can show other people who are oppressed. Just showthem the power of\nGod's love, cause that's what I did. I came face to facewith God's love.\nAnd you know something? The Lord turns all evil things to the good. He\ndid. The secular media documented it as well. One right up your flap,\nSatan! And we got it all on tape, the whole thing.And hopefully, the Lord\nwilling, if I can ever slow down for one second andget some sleep I'm gonna\nput the words. I'm penning the scribe right now.The autobiography \"From\nPagan to Pentecost\" which is meatier and will giveyou a little bit more.\nAnd it'll also have some information in there as tohow you can do certain\nthings to help your brothers and sisters out who need to know the Lord.\nAnd with that, Dear Ones, I'm gonna hand you over to uh, a man who's who's\nfervent and mighty in this Spirit-filled church and this other brother here\nwho's got a mighty mighty church in the Lord and these two brothers here,\nI'm telling you, are gonna be doing some mighty\n......tape ends\n2387","title":"Fundies Visit Denver (Transcribed by Rowan Moonsone)","type":"page"}
