Santa Muerte and gangs lead him to almost dying. Paul Parson tells all with Anh Le

I followed Santa Muerte, it was the religion in the gang, weaving witchcraft and the power of the devil in order to gain supernatural protection in our gang.   In the end, I wanted out, but I nearly died when I tried to leave the gang, but Jesus saved me.

 

In Today's testimony, we are going to talk about gangs and religious beliefs.   Do you think that gang members have a belief in a God?   Most would say no, that gang members are doing crime and are committed to the belief in their being no God.   But in actuality, gang members are also seeking spiritual protection, its just depending on the person, which God would that be?   The truth is, most gang members in America have some tie or root belief in a religion, and tend to believe in a deity that will protect them from dangers that are at hand.    But what does this actually look like.   Today, we will have Paul Parson, who was in a gang and professed to follow Santa Muerte while he was in a gang, which is a religious faction in Mexico that believes Santa Muerte is Our Lady of Holy Death.   Often depicted as a skull with a robe over her head, this idol is worshipped and believed to be a spirit that offers healing, protection, and a safe delivery to the afterlife.   Paul is going to tell us why he followed Santa Muerte while he was in the gang, and compare and contrast it to his new found life as a strong believer in Jesus Christ.  He has since repented of his following of Santa Muerte, and is going to reveal to us the truth of what he saw and heard in his past.   Paul, welcome to the show.
