Righteous by Faith

This is part 5 and the conclusion to my American Cholo Interview. We're truly grateful at Righteous by Faith to the Lord for connecting us with Gil and his viewers, we've had so much positive feedback in our collaboration and we just wanna give all the glory to our Heavenly Father for everything He's done and what He's doing through our ministry... Thank you Jesus!!! "I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house... I am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them"...

Finally!! We got to the good stuff in this interview... I gotta say a special shout-out and thank you to American Cholo for allowing me the freedom to not only share my testimony on his platform, but my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ which is most important... I'm grateful he didn't edit any of that out like it was on other platforms. This part of the interview is the best part of them all, hands down!!! I talk about the main witness in the case being approached by homicide detectives and turned against me in Calipatria State Prison; my eventual arrest for this cold case and 10 year old murder, and God allowing me to be found guilty to demonstrate His power and grace upon my life... Most significantly though, something I've never really shared with too many people or any of my past interviews, is the story of the day I got arrested and almost hung myself in the holding cell of the Temple City Sheriff's Station... I truly and prayerfully hope someone can be touched by God in a special way... Please share the interview with someone that needs God in their lives, thank you, and may the Lord bless you ALL... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/righteousbyfaith/support

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase"... 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 We cannot really find an instance in the New Testament of anyone who came to faith apart from another person's involvement. Although there are exceptions, it's how most people become Christians... Take for example, the Philippian jailer. God could have reached him in many ways, but He chose to use Paul and Silas, who were imprisoned for preaching the gospel. They were mistreated by this jailer, but when an earthquake struck and the prisoners could have gone free, the jailer faced execution. Yet Paul and the others chose to stay in the prison. The jailer asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved"? Acts 16:30 The Bible tells us that not only did the jailer come to faith, but so did his entire household. Yes, God uses people to reach people. But GOD IS THE ONE WHO SAVES THEM—NOT US. This seems rather obvious, but sometimes we forget it. GOD WILL PREPARE A PERSON'S HEART to hear and receive the gospel. He uses us, but HE IS THE ONE WHO DOES THE WORK... In this clip I go into my prison history, being in the LA County Jail at the ripe age of 16, riots, being a suspect for murder and eventually being arrested for it... This next scripture really summarizes why I do what I do in our ministry and these interviews: Jesus... said to him....“Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you"... Mark 5:19 LORD BLESS YOU ALL WITH HIS LOVE, MERCY, AND GRACE!!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/righteousbyfaith/support

In this second part we're going to deal with the other side of the spectrum, the FALSE TEACHING and "FALSE GOSPEL" of works and obedience in order to be saved or "stay saved"... This teaching is just as serious and dangerous as yesterday's issue of false conversions. YOU CANNOT, and I repeat, for emphasis, YOU CANNOT EARN YOUR WAY INTO HEAVEN. The word of God is very clear on this issue. In fact, the message of the Bible is that through the disobedience of ONE man, sin entered the world and tainted "US ALL"... In the same fashion, through ONE MAN, "THE GODMAN", JESUS CHRIST, the perfect sacrifice, who lived a perfect life of obedience ON OUR BEHALF, that sin that seperated us from God would be dealt with ONCE AND FOR ALL... So for anybody that thinks they can add to that perfect sacrifice, think again, you're on dangerous ground cause that's the only way the Bible says you can fall from grace! "You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace"...

The next 2 videos are extremely important for many different reasons... To summarize, there's a lot of false teachings and "false gospels" out there. Actually, ain't nothing changed, it's been like that for thousands of years already... This first video will deal with the false gospel of "FALSE CONVERSION", where someone just says a "prayer", known as the "salvation prayer", but there's no real change in their hearts and minds... They continue living in the old sinful lifestyle they lived before they made a "profession" of faith in Christ... There is no evidence of the Holy Spirit of God dwelling in them... They may even do all the "religious things" like going to church and even "serving" in the church, but there's no genuine transformation, which is what naturally follows when one is born again of the Spirit... This is a dangerous place to be in, to "think" you're saved cause of a "prayer" but you were never truly saved... This is a serious serious thing and this is why I made this video... If this applies to you, I truly pray that this will change your mind (REPENT) and that you will quit playing games with God and russian roulette with your soul... Time is running out... God loves you with a love you can't measure, and because God loves you, we here at Righteous by Faith love you too, let's get it!!! "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles"... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/righteousbyfaith/support

"And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “FOLLOW ME, AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN"... Matthew 4:18-19 The Lord has raised me up to be a fisher of men... The bait on the hook may differ from time to time, but the ultimate goal is always the same: To get soul's saved and into the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ before His SOON RETURN... It's an honor to be used by God in this fashion and I do not take it lightly... As I've stated before, I go where the Lord leads me, even and especially to secular platforms cause that's where the greatest need is at... As always, I sincerely pray you are blessed by the content in even the smallest of ways... In this clip I continue to talk about my upbringing as a gang member, growing up without a father, doing drugs at a very young age, and other events surrounding my life…God bless you all... "For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I HAVE BECOME ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN, THAT I MIGHT BY ALL MEANS SAVE SOME.

Finally!!! This project really took longer than we expected... So much went into it that we didn't anticipate, but it's so worth it! We encountered some technical difficulties, attacks from the enemy, and so much prayer was required to get us through it... This is probably our most important video yet. We believe people will truly be touched in an awesome and intimate way.. This project is about demonstrating the existence of God to an unbelieving world with actual common sense evidence and scientific facts. Many people have a false and biased view of who the true and biblical God is... Even hearing the word "God" can cause discomfort in some people... If you think about it, in many instances, it's not even their fault, they just simply have never been taught... Satan has done a pretty good job of blinding the world to the truth... As believers, I believe it's our responsibility to use our gifts and talents and work together to present this truth to the world, regardless of what church or ministries we are a part of... It's not for our personal gain, nor for our own personal glory, but out of a genuine love for people, souls, and God's eternal purpose & glory. I'd like to thank you all in advance for considering this, and also for the love, prayers, and support... If you are led to do so, please like, share, and subscribe... To all believers and unbelievers alike, we truly hope and pray that your hearts are touched by the Father and Lord of heaven and earth through this content. God bless you ALL, in Jesus' mighty and wonderful name... "For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them"...

Another awesome interview with G-Lew... Very grateful that he allows me the freedom to speak God's truth on his show without trying to interfere in any way. We discussed many topics including the difference between world religions and the Christian faith which is GRACE.. We also discussed how masses of people can get misled when God's Word is taken out of context and used to fulfill ones own agenda.. I hope and pray the viewers and listeners are edified by this interview in Jesus' mighty name... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/righteousbyfaith/support

After hearing about Nipsey Hussle's recent death, I seriously felt led to make a video and share my thoughts... I actually reached out to Nipsey a while back because the Lord put something in my heart to share with him... Of course he never got back at me cuz he probably gets (or used to get) thousands of messages a day... I know a lot of Nipsey's homeboys from Rolling 60's and felt a connection with him cuz he also did an interview on street gangs with Alex Alonso before he got as famous as he is... Death is promised to everybody and you don't know when it's coming... Money and fame can't save you and if it's all you live for, you've been seriously deceived by the father of lies and enemy of your soul... I pray this man's death wakes you up if you're living a life without God and that you place your faith in Christ today, right now, cuz that's all you have, tomorrow may never come... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/righteousbyfaith/support

Initially I wasn't gonna share any of this publicly but I just can't shake the leading of the Lord to do this.. My mom was recently very ill, to the point that she ended up on life support and air lifted to UCSD in San Diego.. By a miracle and God's marvelous grace she came out of it and is actually doing better than she's been in the past year... Hope you're blessed by the video. Please share with anybody struggling with illness and even addiction, anybody that needs to hear how God lovingly and willingly heals and answers prayer..

Before doing my interview with Big Herc on Freshout I agreed to doing some extra segments for his channel talking about a variety of things like my experiences in jail and prison, run in's with celebrities, police corruption, etc.. I agreed because he allowed me to come on his channel to not only share my testimony, but also the gospel of Jesus Christ which is my sole objective. His platform is big and reaches not only nationally but worldwide.. Initially I wasn't gonna upload them onto my channel cause there's nothing really in the clips where I'm sharing about the things of the Lord.. After praying about it and giving it some thought I decided to post them and share them.. Final Note: Although there's not much in these clips pertaining to the things of the Lord, it's still part of my testimony and can be beneficial to keeping people out of jail (especially young kid's), and if it can make them think twice about choosing the ways of the streets, then praise the Lord!!!

On February 14th of 2008 he was arrested for a 10 year old murder case. After representing himself as his own attorney for about 3 1/2 years, he finally went to trial in April of 2012 where a jury convicted him of the murder... He goes on to describe how God intervened and worked a miracle in his life by overturning the conviction and setting him free from the Los Angeles County Jail on March 15th of 2013. His hope is to reach the lost, especially gang members and youngsters with the Gospel of Jesus Christ...
