Harold's Miraculous Jacket and the Unfolding Prophetic Truth

 The Deliverance Jacket!

Today, we're diving deep into a testimony that is going to absolutely rock your world. This isn't just a story; it's a supernatural encounter, a prophetic unfolding that speaks volumes about God's power to heal, deliver, and reveal truth in the most unexpected ways. I recently had the honor of interviewing my friend, Harold Vondenstein, on "Coffee with Conrad," and his journey is one that will inspire and challenge you. You can find more testimonies under the "Testimonies" label in the sidebar – stories of how Jesus heals, sets free, and delivers, even today. Harold's story is a powerful addition to that collection.

Harold shared an amazing testimony about a jacket – yes, a simple jacket – that became a canvas for divine revelation. This story has been unfolding for years, and the insights just keep pouring forth. So, buckle up, grab your coffee, and let's explore the incredible journey of Harold and his God-given jacket.

When God Speaks Through a Jacket

Boy, do I have a treat for you today! I've known Harold for a few years now. We first met at a music venue, became friends, and recently reconnected. And let me tell you, this man is on fire for God! At 72, overcoming physical difficulties, Harold is out there taking ground for Jesus, and he's a true inspiration. If he can do it, despite the challenges, what's stopping any of us?

What really captured me was his story about this jacket. He had a supernatural revelation, a direct word from the Lord about it. It’s a story of hitting rock bottom, encountering Jesus in a life-altering way, and receiving ongoing guidance that continues to amaze. Harold himself was wearing the "infamous jacket" during our interview, a tangible symbol of his incredible journey.

The Testimony of the Jacket – A Divine Blueprint

Harold's early life wasn't steeped in faith. He wasn't raised in a Christian family, never had a Bible, and spent most of his life struggling, with failed marriages, parenthood, and a general sense of things just not working. As he put it, his life was "crashing... all full of junk."

The Turning Point: A Cry in the Dark

It all came to a head on September 2nd, 2012. After 60 years of what felt like constant failure, Harold found himself in a fetal position, crying out to the Lord, begging for his life to end. But instead of an end, he found a new beginning. He sincerely prayed, "Lord, please, please just take over my life."

And Jesus answered. "It was just boom," Harold described. "He stepped in like a lightning bolt and he broke that spirit of death that was on me." In that moment, he heard a clear instruction: "Get up and get on down to that church down the road that you've been looking at... it doesn't matter if you're late." He obeyed, walked into the middle of a sermon on Romans 8, and for the first time, heard about unconditional love. His life was miraculously changed. That, my friends, is a true Acts chapter 9, road to Damascus encounter! Your life is never the same after something like that.

The Prophetic Jacket Revelation

Two years later, around Thanksgiving 2014, after a period of healing, Harold asked the Lord, "You've got to tell me what was wrong with my life. What was it that happened to me?" Again, God spoke. He told Harold to get a white jacket from his closet. He laid it on a table, and the Lord said, "Just start writing."

Words started pouring out of him onto that jacket. For about 20-25 minutes, he wrote like crazy, front and back. When he was done, the jacket was covered in words. The Lord told him, "This is what happened in your life."

Initially, Harold understood it as a representation of his sins, generational curses, trauma – everything that had opened doors for demonic infiltration in his life. He'd come to realize that demons were real and had been influencing him.

Unfolding Layers of Meaning

But the revelation didn't stop there. Years later, especially after a trip to Pennsylvania for intensive training with a minister named Kevin Riordan (whom I had the privilege of introducing him to), Harold gained a deeper understanding.

   The Front of the Jacket: This represented all the sins, the open doors – things he had done, generational curses, traumas inflicted upon him. These were the entry points for the enemy.

   The Back of the Jacket: This depicted the fruits of sin – poverty, bondage, bitterness, pornography addiction, infirmities, and afflictions.

Harold marveled, "There was no way I could have known that back then when I was writing." Even more astoundingly, he later realized the words were written in a pattern resembling crosses! This is so deeply biblical. As Isaiah 53 tells us, Jesus "was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5, KJV). He bore not only our sins but also our infirmities on that cross. Harold's jacket was a supernatural, visual testament to this profound truth.

Personal Reflections: When God Gets Personal

What I love about Harold's testimony is the raw honesty and the clear, direct way God communicated with him. He had no theological paradigms to filter it through; he was just hearing from God and then finding it confirmed in the Bible later. This is a beautiful example of how the Spirit and the Word agree!

It's also a powerful reminder that often, it's at our lowest point, our rock bottom, that we finally become open to encountering Jesus. My own journey has echoes of this. When you're stripped of everything, that's when His voice can become the clearest.

Harold's perseverance is another thing that deeply inspires me. Dealing with hearing issues and hip problems, relying on an e-bike to get around – many would use these as excuses to withdraw. But Harold? He's out there, sharing his faith, leading freedom nights at his church. He even traveled to Pennsylvania, overcoming significant obstacles, to seek deeper healing and understanding. That's faith in action!

His journey highlights the reality of spiritual warfare. The "open doors" he talked about – unsaved status, unrepented sin, disrespect, family involvement in witchcraft (Santoria), idolatry, unforgiveness – these are things that give the enemy legal ground. As Harold learned, these "allow the tormentors to come in."

Biblical References and Teachings: The Sword of the Spirit in Action

Harold's story is interwoven with powerful biblical truths. Understanding these scriptures is key to walking in the freedom he now experiences.

   Deliverance is Real: Harold's experience with a deliverance minister, Everett Cox, where around a hundred demons were reportedly cast out, might sound shocking to some. But Jesus Himself cast out demons, and He gave His disciples authority to do the same. "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils..." (Mark 16:17, KJV). Harold mentioned a list of 125 issues, which dropped to 59 after his initial encounter with Jesus, then to 12 after formal deliverance. This is the freedom Jesus promised when He said, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." (John 8:36, KJV).

   Our Authority in Christ: One of the most empowering revelations for Harold was Luke 10:19 (KJV): "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." As children of God, once we accept Christ, we have this authority. We don't have to be victims of the enemy's schemes.

   The Importance of Renewing the Mind: Harold emphasized that deliverance is a process, a daily walk. A huge part of this is renewing your mind. As Paul writes in Romans 12:2 (KJV): "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." We must replace the enemy's lies and ungodly belief systems with God's truth. Harold found that about 75% of deliverance is about this mental and spiritual renewal.

   The Father's Love: Despite all the hardship and the battles, the ultimate revelation for Harold was the Father's love. He used to think God was mad at him. But through his experiences, especially in Pennsylvania, he came to know God as "Abba Father," a loving Father who isn't angry but full of compassion. "He said, 'Look, son, I love you. Come, come sit here with me... There's some things that we need to work out... But you need to know that I love you.'" This echoes 1 John 4:16 (KJV): "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." This love trumps everything.

   Soul Ties: Harold also touched on the concept of soul ties formed through sexual relationships outside of God's design for marriage. He explained how these ungodly connections can lead to taking on the other person's "demons" or baggage, emphasizing the need to break these ties in prayer. This aligns with the biblical principle of two becoming one flesh (1 Corinthians 6:16) and the spiritual implications of such unions.

The Ongoing Journey: "Are You Prepared?"

A particularly poignant moment in Harold's story came when his beloved wife, Paula, was passing away in January 2024 after a battle with cancer. As he held her hand, knowing she was going to be with the Lord, he heard three distinct words in his head: "Are you prepared?"

This wasn't about Paula's preparedness, but his own. It startled him and became a catalyst for deeper introspection. He realized he had backslidden in some areas and wasn't as ready as he thought. This divine question ignited a renewed hunger for God, for reading the Bible daily, for going deeper in his spiritual walk.

This reminds me of Matthew 24:44 (KJV): "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh." It's a call to constant vigilance and wholehearted pursuit of God.

And look at what God has done since Harold recommitted himself! He was living on the second floor, struggling financially after Paula's passing. He asked the Lord for a nearby church and affordable housing. God led him to Crossroads Assembly of God, half a mile away, where he found fellowship and love. Then, through the pastor's wife, an affordable apartment became available right next door to the church! As Harold said, "Favor of God!" This is a testament to Hebrews 11:6 (KJV): "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." If you're about God's business, He'll be about yours.

Now, Harold is leading "Freedom Night" at his church, sharing about deliverance and dispelling ungodly belief systems. He's even playing his "Bible Belt Blues" for Jesus at ministry gatherings. From a supernatural encounter with a jacket to a thriving ministry, God's hand is evident.

What's On Your Jacket? Are You Prepared?

Harold's incredible testimony – from the prophetic jacket to the deep understanding of deliverance and the Father's love, all punctuated by the piercing question, "Are you prepared?" – serves as a powerful wake-up call for all of us.

His journey from brokenness to a life empowered by the Holy Spirit shows that no one is beyond God's reach. The supernatural isn't just for Bible times; it's for today, for you and me.

So, I encourage you to reflect:

   What's on your "jacket"? Are there areas in your life, past hurts, sins, or generational patterns that have opened doors to the enemy and are hindering your walk with Jesus?

   Are you walking in the freedom Christ purchased for you? Deliverance isn't a scary word; it's about stepping into the liberty God intends for His children.

   Do you truly know the Father's love? It's a love that casts out all fear and empowers you to overcome.

   Are you prepared? Are you diligently seeking God, renewing your mind with His Word, and living each day with eternity in view?

This isn't about condemnation, but about invitation – an invitation to go deeper with Jesus, to experience His healing, His freedom, and His incredible love.

Friends, if Harold's story has touched you, I urge you to take action:

1.  Examine Your Life: Prayerfully ask God to show you any "open doors." Confess any known sin. As 1 John 1:9 (KJV) says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

2.  Seek Freedom: If you're struggling, seek help. Check out Harold's website, Deliverance101.com, for resources. Remember, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" (John 8:36, KJV).

3.  Receive the Father's Love: Actively pursue an understanding of God's profound love for you.

4.  Renew Your Mind: Immerse yourself in God's Word daily. Let it transform your thinking (Romans 12:2).

5.  Walk in Authority: Understand and exercise the authority you have in Jesus over the enemy (Luke 10:19). Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee (James 4:7, KJV).

6.  Live Prepared: Cultivate a deep hunger for God (Matthew 24:44).

7.  Share This Message: If this post has blessed you, please share it with your friends, family, and on social media. Others need to hear this message of hope and freedom!

A Supernatural Journey: My Interview with Pastor Timothy Quackenbos

Walking in Signs and Wonders Today

I’m thrilled to share an incredible conversation I had with a man whose life is a testament to the supernatural power of God—Pastor Timothy Quackenbos, affectionately known as Brother Tim. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to walk in the prophetic, experience signs and wonders, and live a life fully surrendered to Jesus, this is for you.  

Introduction: A Divine Encounter  

Let me start by sharing how I first met Brother Tim. It’s one of those God-incidences (not coincidences) that still blows my mind. My wife, Susan, and I were at a gas station in Petrey when we saw a flyer for a tent revival. We decided to go, and that’s where we first encountered Brother Tim. He received a prophetic word for us that night, and from there, our paths kept crossing. It was clear that God was orchestrating our connection.  

Fast forward to today, and I’m sitting down with Brother Tim to dive deep into his extraordinary journey of faith. His life is marked by miracles, healings, and a relentless pursuit of God’s presence. If you’re hungry for a deeper spiritual relationship with Jesus, this interview will inspire and challenge you.  

The Early Years: A Call at Age 10  

One of the most fascinating parts of Brother Tim’s story is how he was called by God at just 10 years old. Imagine that—a child hearing from God in such a profound way! He shared how the devil actually appeared to him in his bedroom, and the fear of that encounter drove him to Christ.  

“I saw the devil’s face, and my brother saw his body. I crawled to my mom’s room and told her I wanted to get saved. She led me to Christ that night.”  

Isn’t it amazing how God can use even the enemy’s schemes to draw us closer to Him? This moment marked the beginning of Brother Tim’s lifelong journey of faith.  

Baptized in the Holy Spirit: A Prophetic Calling  

Not long after his salvation, Brother Tim was baptized in the Holy Spirit while hanging clothes on a clothesline in Sarasota, Florida. He began speaking in tongues and heard God’s voice clearly, calling him to a life of ministry.  

“God told me what I would be doing, even what I’m doing now. He said I would see the dead raised to life and the book of Acts alive in my life.”  

This prophetic calling has been the driving force behind Brother Tim’s ministry. He’s seen dead people raised to life, miraculous healings, and countless lives transformed by the power of Jesus.  

Signs and Wonders: The Mark of a Believer  

One of the things I admire most about Brother Tim is his unwavering belief in the signs and wonders that should follow believers. He often references Mark 16:17-18 (KJV), where Jesus says:  

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”  

Brother Tim’s life is a living testimony to these verses. He’s seen demons cast out, healings, and even a man raised from the dead in Haiti.  

Raising the Dead: A Miracle in Haiti  

One of the most powerful stories Brother Tim shared was about a man in Haiti who had been practicing voodoo against him. This man collapsed into a coma and eventually died. When Brother Tim arrived at the house, the Holy Spirit told him it was time to raise the dead.  

“I laid on the dead body, put my nose on his nose, and commanded him to rise in Jesus’ name. The next thing I knew, I was standing, and he was looking me in the eye.”  

Today, that man is a worship leader in their church. From pronouncing curses to leading worship—only God can do that!  

Discerning God’s Voice: Keys to Spiritual Growth  

Another topic we explored was how to discern God’s voice. Brother Tim emphasized the importance of knowing Scripture and being obedient to what God says.  

“If it agrees with Scripture, it’s God. If Jesus did it, we can do it. If Jesus said don’t do it, we don’t do it.”  

He also shared how confirmation plays a key role in discerning God’s will. Just like Gideon asked for signs, we too can seek confirmation when we’re unsure.  

Why Don’t We See More Miracles in America?  

This is a question many of us have asked. Brother Tim believes it’s largely due to false teaching and a lack of faith.  

“In Haiti and Serbia, people trust God because if He doesn’t heal them, they’ll die. In America, we’ve been taught to trust doctors and medicine instead of God.”  

He challenged us to examine our own lives and ask: Are we truly believing God for the impossible?  

Personal Reflections: Walking in Faith  

As I listened to Brother Tim’s stories, I was reminded of my own journey. In 1995, I had a powerful encounter with God where He told me to “read the instructions”—meaning the Bible. Over the years, I’ve learned that the more we immerse ourselves in God’s Word, the clearer His voice becomes.  

Brother Tim’s life is a testament to what happens when we take God at His Word and step out in faith, even when it looks ridiculous. You have probably heard, “You’ve got to be willing to look stupid for Jesus.”  

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this, it’s this: God is still in the miracle business. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Whether you’re facing a seemingly impossible situation or simply longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus, don’t settle for less than what God has promised.  

I encourage you to:  

1. Dive into Scripture and let it shape your faith.  

2. Seek mentors who walk in the signs of a believer.  

3. Step out in faith, even when it feels uncomfortable.  

If you’d like to learn more from Brother Tim, check out his book, Discernment: Keys to Unlocking the Benefits. 

Thank you for joining me on this journey. If this post resonated with you, please share it with your friends and family. Let’s spread the good news that Jesus is alive and still working miracles today!  

Until next time, keep seeking Him,  

Conrad

From Brokenness to Impact: Richard's Story

 A Powerful Testimony of God's Transforming Love: Richard James Dixon Jr.'s Story

Recently on the "Coffee with Conrad" podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Richard James Dixon Jr. from Real Talk Interactive about his powerful testimony of how Jesus Christ transformed his life. This inspiring story is a must-listen for any Christian who loves to hear about the supernatural power of God at work.  

Richard grew up in a godly family with six siblings. His parents raised them in holiness, but Richard admits he was a mischievous child who acted out and put his parents through a lot. Even at a young age though, he felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit whenever he misbehaved. 

One pivotal moment came when God allowed Richard to see how exhausted his mother was with his behavior. It broke his heart and he realized he needed to change. Around this time, Richard also experienced sexual abuse from someone outside the family. This left deep scars that affected him mentally for years to come.

As he matured, Richard threw himself into church activities like playing drums, teaching Sunday school and leading youth ministry. But inside he still struggled with the trauma of his abuse. After a girlfriend tragically died, Richard turned cold-hearted, feeling like he was toxic and nobody should be close to him. 

But God wasn't done with Richard's story. He brought Jennifer into Richard's life, a woman who persistently pursued a relationship with him. Though Richard resisted at first, God made it clear that Jennifer was the one for him. Their marriage became a powerful ministry and testimony of God's love.

During the pandemic, God laid it on Richard's heart to start Positiv Impact, a non-profit dedicated to providing positive atmospheres and support for at-risk youth in the community. Having experienced the breakdown of the family firsthand, Richard knows how vital it is for the church to minister outside its four walls. 

One of Richard's greatest joys is seeing the darkness lift from these young people's faces as they experience the love of God through his ministry. As he vulnerably shared about his own suicidal thoughts in the past, Richard testified that it was only by God's grace and the support of family and church that he made it through. 

No matter what poor decisions we make or what evil comes against us, Richard's story is proof that God can redeem anything for our good and His glory. If you feel lost, broken or too far gone, know that nothing is too hard for God. He is ready and willing to transform your life just like He did for Richard.

Thomas Dabney Tannehill - Testimony for Jesus

The Power of Testimony: One Man's Journey from the Occult to Salvation in Jesus Christ

Testimonies of faith have the power to inspire, convict, and spur spiritual growth. In this accompanying blog post for the Coffee with Conrad podcast episode featuring Thomas Dabney Tannehill's powerful testimony, we'll explore key themes surrounding his journey from occult practices and drug addiction to experiencing new life in Christ.

Here is the original Facebook Live 

Dabbling in the Occult Opens Doors to Darkness

Like many young people, Thomas was exposed to occult practices like using Ouija boards and tarot cards from a young age. Little did he know the dangers of opening doorways to the demonic realm. The occult should be avoided by believers, as it gives the enemy a foothold (Eph. 4:27). Thomas also experienced poltergeist activity in his home growing up. 

Drug Use Leads Down Destructive Paths

Down the road, Thomas' involvement in Eastern religious practices, psychedelic drugs, and rock music sent his life into a tailspin. He had demonic encounters telling him to worship Satan while high on LSD. Drug use leads to addiction, poor choices, and dangerous consequences. Seeking enlightenment or spirituality through substance abuse can open people up to darker forces.

Crying Out for Help in Your Darkest Hour

After a terrifying drug trip where Thomas saw his body convulsing and hordes of demons, he cried out to God for mercy. Though far from God, Thomas retained a flicker of faith from his religious upbringing. God hears our prayers even at our worst moments. When all seems lost, He provides hope.

Christian Fellowship Helps Restore the Lost

Just when he thought he was alone, Thomas encountered his old friend Mickey sharing the gospel. This divine appointment led to Mickey mentoring Thomas in his newfound faith, discipling him in God's Word, and providing a community of belief. Surrounding ourselves with strong believers helps us grow. 

The Holy Spirit Illuminates Scripture

As Thomas read the Bible, its truths came alive by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Mere intellectual study is not enough. When we invite the Spirit to teach us, the Word transforms us. The Bible is the Spirit's sword (Eph. 6:17) to cut through lies and point us to godly living.

True Repentance Leads to Lasting Change

After failed attempts to clean up his own life, Thomas fully surrendered his heart and will to Christ. This repentance led to supernatural freedom as he turned from darkness and embraced the light. When we submit ourselves to God, He breaks sin's power. Our old self dies, and we become new creations in Him (2 Cor. 5:17).

The Journey May Be Slow But Progress Comes  

Though saved, Thomas still stumbled at times on his spiritual walk. Sanctification is a process. The righteousness of Christ is gifted to believers, but living it out takes time. Thomas discovered the joys of forgiveness and getting back on the right path when he faltered. God's grace sustains us.

Testimonies Build Faith and Give Hope

By generously sharing his story, Thomas inspires us to cling to Jesus above all else and reach out into the darkness with Christ's love. Our testimonies matter―they build faith, give hope, and point others to the One who can set them free.

Garry Nesbit Testimony for Jesus! Healed from Stage 4 Cancer!

From Stage 4 Cancer to Miraculous Healing: An Incredible Story of Faith

Evangelist Gary Nesbitt has an amazing testimony of God's healing power that will inspire your faith. Diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer, Gary was given just months left to live by doctors. But he kept his trust in God even during the darkest moments of his illness. 

</>

Gary shares his incredible journey from expecting death to receiving a miraculous healing from the Lord. 

Despite being weak and close to giving up all hope, Gary had an encounter with God's presence that changed everything.

One night in the hospital, Gary felt compelled to get up and dance before the Lord, praising God even in his dire circumstances. After this simple act of faith, Gary sensed a supernatural healing taking place in his body. The next day, tests confirmed that the large cancerous tumor was totally gone!

Gary's oncologist was stunned, admitting "I'll be darned, it's gone!" When just weeks before, the doctor had felt the sizeable tumor himself. This immediate and complete healing could only be explained as a miracle from God.

What can we learn from Gary's story? No matter how desperate your health circumstances may seem, keep holding on to your faith. God still performs miracles today! Gary's testimony is an inspiring reminder that with God, nothing is impossible. Even stage 4 cancer can be healed in an instant. 

So be encouraged today that your prayers have power. God is still in the business of bringing healing, hope and new life. Listen to the full podcast to hear more of Gary's journey and be strengthened in your faith!

Is Street Preaching Hate Speech?

The first time I ever did street preaching, I wasn't planning on it. A guy handed me a microphone on Beale Street in Memphis while worship music played in the background. He saw my Jesus shirt and said, "Hey man, you want to preach?" So I started preaching on Matthew 7:21-23—"Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (KJV)

Guess what happened? The police shut me down in less than five minutes.

They said I was too loud. But I was no louder than the guy playing music next to me, and I was certainly no louder than the live bands blasting from every bar up and down Beale Street. The message was the problem. Not the volume.

That night crystallized something for me: the world doesn't mind noise. It minds the Name of Jesus.

What People Think Street Preaching Is

When most people hear "street preaching," they picture someone screaming hellfire and condemnation at strangers. Maybe they've seen videos of angry preachers outside strip clubs yelling, "Jesus hates you! You're going to hell!" And yes, those videos exist. I included one in the podcast episode because I wanted to address the elephant in the room.

That's not biblical preaching. That's something else.

But because of those examples, street preaching gets lumped into one category: hate speech. And that couldn't be further from the truth.

What the Bible Says About Preaching

Let's go back to the source. What does the Bible actually say about preaching?

Romans 10:13-15 (KJV) says:

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."

Notice the progression:

• You can't call on someone you don't believe in.
• You can't believe in someone you've never heard of.
• You can't hear without a preacher.
• And preachers must be sent.

This is about taking the Gospel to people who have not heard it. That's the key. The word "Gospel" means good news. And news, by definition, has the word new in it. It's not something you've heard a thousand times.

So if you're standing behind a pulpit every Sunday talking to the same congregation that's heard the same message for 30 years, that's teaching. That's discipleship. That's important—but it's not preaching in the biblical sense.

The Greek Word: Kerusso

The Greek word for "preach" in Romans 10 is kerusso (κηρύσσω). It means:

"To herald as a public crier, especially divine truth (the gospel); to preach, proclaim, publish."

A herald was someone sent by a king to a new city to proclaim terms of surrender. Picture this: the king sends a herald to stand outside the walls of a city. The herald unrolls a scroll and reads the terms. The city can either surrender and serve the king, or refuse and be plundered.

That's what biblical preaching is. It's a public heralding of the Gospel to people who haven't heard it. It's a proclamation: "The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe."

And yes, that includes a warning. If you reject the King, there are consequences. That's not hate. That's love. You're giving people a choice before it's too late.

Real Street Preachers Speak Out

I reached out to friends of mine who actually do street preaching—men and women who take the Gospel to the lost, the broken, the unreached. I asked them one question:

"What do you think about people who say street preaching is not loving?"

Here's what they said.

Acie Burleson

Acie is walking the cross from South Carolina to the Grand Canyon, preaching almost every day. He said:

"If street preaching is meant to save your life, then why is this not loving? If I see you in danger, I want to help you get away from that danger because I love you."

Simple. Powerful. True.

Lance Rowe

Lance has carried the cross to all 50 state capitals. He said:

"Idly standing by and watching someone as they are preparing to commit suicide and not saying anything or intervening in some way is not loving."

Exactly. If you saw someone about to walk off the edge of the Grand Canyon, you wouldn't worry about offending them. You'd yell. You'd run. You'd grab them. That's love.

Monty Simpson

Monty preaches the Gospel on the Gulf Coast. He said:

"All street preachers should let it be known that they are there because of God's love, then preach the Word and let it fall where it may. Prayerless preaching is like sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. We can go in a totally wrong spirit and motive, and that does more harm than good. But Jesus said we are the salt of the earth. Salt purifies but can also make things taste better—or bitter. Preaching should have a dash of salt with it."

Monty's right. It's not just about what you say. It's about the spirit you say it in.

Johnny Gaston (Reach My City)

Johnny preaches every week with compassion, clarity, and boldness. He said:

"The best way to expose weak theology is simple. When someone says you're not being loving, ask them: 'If all these people die in their sins without Christ, where do they go?' Push them to say it. Hell. If the truck was bearing down on somebody and you didn't say anything, how evil would that be? It would be horribly evil. It would be depraved."

Johnny is right. The critics of street preaching are often the ones who aren't preaching at all.

Matthew Foutch

Matthew has carried the cross through Mardi Gras in New Orleans. He said:

"I have sung 'Jesus Loves Me' with hundreds of men as we carried a cross in the middle of Mardi Gras—in the middle of all that debauchery—with the message of love, which is Jesus and His cross. He gave His life to save the lost and bring us into fellowship with Him. That's loving."

Amen.

Brandon Hooks

Brandon preaches one-to-one and in public. He said:

"If we love people enough, we're gonna tell them the truth. We do it out of love for them, not out of hatred or self-righteousness. Jude 22-23 says, 'Be merciful to those who doubt, but save others by snatching them from the fire.' If we see people about to meet death—about to walk off the edge of the Grand Canyon—it would be hatred to just let them go."

Snatching them from the fire. That's biblical. That's loving.

Stephen Barrett (Holy Fire Japan)

Stephen is an American missionary in Japan, where only 1% of the population is Christian. He said:

"Jesus preached in public, on the street, everywhere. A public heralding of the Gospel is something that should be honored in the church. But you've got to be led by the Spirit. I was in a park the other day, and I asked God if I should start preaching. He said, 'No. Play music first. Then they'll come.' So I played guitar, and 20-30 people gathered. Then I preached. You obey God—whether it's singing, preaching, or calling out sin. That's God's love manifesting."

Stephen's point is critical: Be led by the Spirit. Jesus only did what He saw the Father do (John 5:19). Romans 8:14 says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." (KJV)

You can have all the right theology and still miss God's leading. The method matters less than the anointing.

The Legal Battle: Captive Audience Doctrine

There's a legal concept called the Captive Audience Doctrine. It's used to justify silencing street preachers in certain contexts. The idea is that if people can't easily leave—like students in a school, employees at work, or people waiting at the DMV—they're a "captive audience," and you can't preach to them.

I actually found a case where a man was arrested for reading the Bible aloud outside a DMV. The officer said, "You have a captive audience. You're under arrest."

Let that sink in. Reading the Bible. In public. In America. Arrested.

This doctrine is being weaponized against Christians. But here's the thing: if atheists find Christian t-shirts at school offensive, does that mean kids can't wear them? If coworkers are offended by someone mentioning Jesus at lunch, does that mean free speech ends at the office door?

We have to be wise. We have to know our rights. And we have to be willing to stand.

Christine Weick: Bold as a Lion

One of the boldest examples of modern-day street preaching comes from Christine Weick. She's the woman who stood up during a Muslim service inside the National Cathedral—America's church—and proclaimed the name of Jesus Christ.

She was dragged out.

She also interrupted Texas Muslim Capitol Day and declared Jesus as Lord over Texas.

You can watch the videos. They're powerful. And they're convicting.

Christine wasn't hateful. She wasn't screaming. She was simply refusing to stay silent while the Name above all names was being dishonored in a place dedicated to Him.

That's courage. That's love.

My First Street Preaching Experience

Like I said earlier, my first time preaching on the street, the cops shut me down in five minutes. I wasn't yelling at anyone. I wasn't condemning. I was preaching Matthew 7:21-23—a passage about people who think they're saved but aren't.

And I got silenced.

But here's what I learned: "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride." Sometimes standing for Jesus means standing in uncomfortable places. Sometimes it means being misunderstood. Sometimes it means being arrested.

But as Peter and the apostles said in Acts 5:29 (KJV):

"We ought to obey God rather than men."

Even if preaching becomes illegal, we preach. Even if it's called hate speech, we preach. Because Jesus commanded it: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15, KJV)

At Least Christ Is Preached

I want to close with what the Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:15-18 (KJV):

"Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice."

Paul is saying: even if someone's motives aren't pure, even if their theology is a little off, even if their method is rough—at least Christ is being preached.

And Paul rejoices in that.

There will be broken eggs. There will be messy moments. But the seed is being sown. The Name is being proclaimed. And that's what matters.

Final Thoughts

Is street preaching hate speech?

No. It's the most loving thing you can do.

It's warning someone before they step into eternity without Jesus. It's being the herald sent by the King. It's obeying the Great Commission even when it's uncomfortable, unpopular, or illegal.

And if you're called to preach—whether in a park, on a street corner, or at a stoplight—do it in love. Do it in the Spirit. Do it boldly.

Because one day, you'll stand before Jesus. And He won't ask if people liked your message. He'll ask if you delivered it.
