Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to this special edition of the Strang Report podcast.
2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,820
My guest today is Jared Laskey of Fireborn Ministries in Arizona.
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,600
He has an amazing gift to be able to help people to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,240
And he's written a book. We're going to talk about it today.
5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,060
You're going to find out how you can get hold of it. And of course, if you followed me and my
6
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:32,760
ministry and Charisma magazine, you know that we believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is so important.
7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:40,920
And I'm glad to promote it in any way, including my interview today to talk about how the baptism of the Holy Spirit
8
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,360
even empowered him to overcome an attack of Satan that almost took his life and how it absolutely
9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,400
transformed his life and how it can transform yours.
10
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,200
So stay tuned and then I'll be back at the end with another message.
11
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:12,520
Jared Laskey, thank you for coming on my podcast to talk about a very important topic, and that is the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
12
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,080
So let me start by just asking you why you believe this is so important that you wrote this book
13
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,400
called Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
14
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Well, it's an honor, it's a pleasure to be on the String Report, sir.
15
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,640
But I wrote the book so that people can personally encounter the Holy Spirit and see the need for Jesus,
16
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,040
who's the baptizer with the Holy Spirit, to empower them to be better equipped witnesses for Jesus.
17
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,120
And I wrote that message because it is my life message.
18
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,720
I've seen thousands of people receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit in many different ways,
19
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,920
whether through the laying on of hands or remotely or over phone calls or even via text message.
20
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:58,680
But people need the power of the Holy Spirit to be better equipped witnesses to spread the kingdom of God through the face of the earth.
21
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,440
And it was a message of love because I went through a health scare last year and I knew that if my life,
22
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,120
if the devil tried to kill me, I wanted to bounce back, give him a black eye and release the message to the world,
23
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,720
because this is my life message to see people encounter the Holy Spirit personally and know him and fellowship with him.
24
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:24,000
Well, I want to hear your testimony in just a minute, but I agree with what you've just said.
25
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,720
It is very important.
26
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,640
Why do you believe that it's so controversial, even within the church,
27
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,240
where on one side you have cessationists who believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
28
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040
the work of the Holy Spirit, all those things died with the apostles.
29
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,680
Then you have people who claim to be Spirit filled.
30
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,160
They may even agree with the doctrine, but they don't even receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
31
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,440
I mean, you know, I've been a journalist for a long time.
32
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:51,560
I've done the research.
33
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,400
I don't have the figures in front of me, but and they probably vary from church to church.
34
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,200
But it's well known that in many Pentecostal Charismatic churches,
35
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,560
half the people have never received in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for a whole variety of reasons.
36
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Why do you think that more, why it's not more abundantly clear to most believers
37
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,600
how important the Holy Spirit is?
38
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Well, because the devil doesn't like Holy Spirit and the devil's against Holy Spirit.
39
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,280
And he's trying to do all he can to hide the manifestations,
40
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,680
the spiritual gifts in the back rooms of a lot of churches.
41
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,600
When we need it at the forefront, we also need it on the streets.
42
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,400
I've seen people receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit in front of COVID tents,
43
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,160
in hospitals back in 2020, 2021, nurses, doctors coming out,
44
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,800
receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues for the first time.
45
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,400
It's controversial because the devil doesn't want us to have direct access
46
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,920
in prayer to Jesus Christ, because that's what speaking in tongues is part of.
47
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,240
It's our prayer language, direct access to the throne room of Christ Jesus.
48
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,520
I grew up a cessationist, but Holy Spirit was speaking to me at the ages
49
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920
of 12 and 13 through prophetic dreams.
50
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,560
And I knew that Jesus was speaking to me, even though I had a pastor.
51
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,320
One pastor said it's from the devil.
52
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Another pastor had said that God doesn't talk that way anymore.
53
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,920
But it was the Holy Spirit wooing me to encounter Jesus.
54
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,120
And so eventually, when I opened up to the present reality that the Holy Spirit
55
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,960
is a person and he's here and he empowers us, he filled me up like, wow.
56
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,800
It was the most incredible experience of my life.
57
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,640
But for some reason, and you bring up the great point about people in Pentecostal
58
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,480
churches, a large percentage not having the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
59
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,920
For some reason, we hide Holy Spirit or some people try to hide Holy Spirit
60
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,760
in the back room or they don't even acknowledge the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
61
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,960
even though they adhere to it doctrinally.
62
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,600
But we still need that experience.
63
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,160
We're several generations in since the Azusa Street revival and the foundation
64
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,200
of all the Pentecostal Charismatic denominations.
65
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,360
But these are generations that that need,
66
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,080
especially now more than ever before, because of what is going on in the world.
67
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,200
Now, there is a movement within some church denominations where they're having schools
68
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000
of the Spirit, and we're seeing that now where people who've been raised in, say,
69
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,120
Pentecostal churches are now opening up to the truth and the present reality
70
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,360
and experience and encountering the Holy Spirit.
71
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,640
So that's awesome.
72
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,560
But we need more of that, which is why when I preach the gospel,
73
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,960
I also preach healing, baptism of the Holy Spirit all in one so that people
74
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,360
encounter all that the Holy Spirit has for them in one.
75
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,360
The moment that they're saved within minutes, they're baptized with the Holy
76
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,040
Spirit or healed. But the devil doesn't like it.
77
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,360
But that's why we need to promote it more.
78
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,360
We need to preach on it more and we need
79
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,640
to encounter it more so that people can be empowered by the Holy Spirit through Jesus.
80
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,240
Well, that's so important.
81
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,960
And my story is very different than yours.
82
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,480
I'm actually a fourth generation Pentecostal, believe it or not.
83
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,280
My grandparents and great grandmothers
84
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,440
received the baptism with the Holy Spirit not long after Azusa Street, believe it or not.
85
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,920
And so this was always something I look forward to.
86
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,400
And I received, as I can remember, when I was 11 years old.
87
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,720
And it was a it was a valid experience.
88
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:33,760
And I believe that it kept me through some very difficult teenage years.
89
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,440
But I'm interested in your story.
90
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,800
Tell me the story of how you received the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
91
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,880
I love sharing the story because this change and transformed my life.
92
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:52,160
I was a rebellious teenager and I don't want to focus on too much of what I did back then.
93
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,080
I'm healed, I'm whole, I'm restored.
94
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:58,480
But I wasn't serving Christ Jesus, even though his Holy Spirit was speaking to me
95
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,680
and wooing me to come to him.
96
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520
So I left everything behind.
97
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:10,080
My my friends, the drugs, all that stuff got into YWAM, Youth with a Mission.
98
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480
And within weeks, within a month and a half or two months,
99
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,560
I was asking for more of the Holy Spirit.
100
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,480
And there's a lot of other details there.
101
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,680
But I'd had this this woman lay hands on me
102
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,680
just to agree with me to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to speak in tongues,
103
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,160
because I heard it, but I didn't know what exactly it was.
104
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,880
But I was like, if that's the more of the Holy Spirit I need,
105
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,520
then I want to receive whatever that is.
106
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,800
I had minimal understanding, but I wanted more.
107
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,280
That night, the Holy Spirit was speaking to me through amazing,
108
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,840
incredible dreams, and my roommate said that my cheeks were on fire.
109
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Within a few days, I went to my small group later and I told him everything
110
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,000
the Holy Spirit was speaking to me.
111
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,280
And he said, so you want to speak in tongues?
112
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,680
And he said he had the faith.
113
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,480
He said, I believe it will happen right now.
114
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720
So he explained to me that he was going to lay hands on me and the Holy Spirit
115
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,600
was going to speak to me a syllable or phrase in tongues.
116
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,480
And then I'm to repeat what the Holy Spirit has spoken to me,
117
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,520
because I've been learning how to hear the voice of God at the age of 18 in YWAM.
118
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,000
So there I was.
119
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,360
And I I heard the Holy Spirit speak loud and clear.
120
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,120
And I start repeating that word over and over.
121
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,400
When I'd asked Jesus to baptize me with the Holy Spirit and in the fire of God
122
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,120
fell upon me in wave after wave of power, about four or five waves of power,
123
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,000
electricity surging through my body, speaking in tongues, praising Jesus.
124
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,040
I was crying, weeping, laughing.
125
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,000
And because of my background, I did this for about two, two and a half hours.
126
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Wow. And this was power.
127
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,760
This was the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit upon me.
128
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,800
And my and Sam, my mentor, he said, you know,
129
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,160
the devil will try to tell you that you made this up and he'll try to.
130
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,160
And I was like, I know this was all Jesus.
131
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,600
I can never deny what Jesus just did.
132
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,680
And then Sam told me to pray in tongues every day.
133
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:08,840
And I've been doing that ever since, even in combat zones and mission trips,
134
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,600
driving down the road, praying in the spirit because it edifies us.
135
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,680
So and that's what drives me, what drives my ministry.
136
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Well, you know, there's so much that you're mentioning and so much
137
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,280
that I should unpack in a short podcast.
138
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,480
And one of the ways that people can learn more is through your book.
139
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,400
And before the podcast is over, I want you to tell everyone how they can get it.
140
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,560
But also you have an e-course on our
141
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,720
Charisma website where people can learn more.
142
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,120
Tell me about that.
143
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,320
And also, then I want to talk about that
144
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,600
incredible story that you referred to where the enemy tried to take your life.
145
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,000
But I think it's important to let people
146
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,600
who are watching and listening know that, you know, how they can find out more
147
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,800
about this experience that where you just said so much so quickly that I want people
148
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,360
to really be able to learn what you what you are trying to share.
149
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:05,680
Yeah, you're right. There is a lot to unpack there.
150
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,960
But all I can say is it's Jesus.
151
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,520
And if people are hungry for Him, they will encounter Him.
152
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,320
If people want more of the Holy Spirit in their life, ask for more, ask for more.
153
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Dive into the scripture, dive into personal time with Jesus,
154
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600
spend time fellowshiping with the Holy Spirit.
155
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,440
But that's why I've got an e-course on Charismacourses.com,
156
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,520
the baptism with the Holy Spirit. It's free.
157
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,440
It always will be.
158
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,360
It's also on my website, Firebornministries.com.
159
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,160
I've had, I think, 2500 students go through that.
160
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,320
People can.
161
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,600
It's only four or five videos.
162
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,320
The fourth video is the prayer and activation where my wife and I worship
163
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,680
together and start praising and singing in tongues.
164
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,200
And many, many people receive their spiritual prayer language going through
165
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,600
that e-course. However, if they don't, they could email me at info at
166
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,280
Firebornministries.com and I could schedule a prayer call.
167
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,800
I've seen people just the other day.
168
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,040
I saw a guy in South Africa through WhatsApp receive the baptism of the Holy
169
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Spirit a few weeks ago before that.
170
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040
I saw someone through Facebook Messenger who in the UAE
171
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,640
received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
172
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,960
She'd gone through my e-course, the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
173
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,400
So I let them know they don't yet receive their spiritual prayer language
174
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360
through that e-course, then they could schedule a prayer call.
175
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,120
But I always encourage them to review video for the activation.
176
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,920
And usually they cancel the prayer call because they've received the Holy Spirit
177
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,640
falling upon them like we see in Acts, Chapter 2.
178
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,160
But the Holy Spirit is received through the laying on of hands or through falling
179
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280
upon people. So through the e-course or even through the prayer calls,
180
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,840
it's by faith, but that's the Holy Spirit falling upon them.
181
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,400
So CharismaCourses.com has a free e-course.
182
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,920
My website, Firebornministries.com has the free website.
183
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,680
But you mentioned your wife and in this book, you tell how your wife received
184
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,720
the baptism of the Holy Spirit. So tell us that story.
185
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,680
Yeah, my wife was 13 years old.
186
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,160
She went to summer camp.
187
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720
She was part of a great association of churches at that time.
188
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,640
The great people that we were part of for many years.
189
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,400
And she felt the call of God upon her life.
190
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,600
It was an altar call.
191
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,680
And she felt the call of God to call her into ministry, into music, into missions,
192
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,480
which we're doing now. She's an incredible musician.
193
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,680
But she went forward and she received she asked Jesus.
194
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:30,760
People were praying for her.
195
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,040
She asked Jesus to baptize her with the Holy Spirit.
196
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,680
She was slain in the Holy Spirit and was
197
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:38,960
speaking in tongues for, I think, 15 or 20 minutes.
198
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,320
I know she could tell the story better than me, but she came up transformed
199
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,800
in a totally different person because that's what happens when we encounter
200
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Holy Spirit. We are changed.
201
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,800
We are transformed. And that happened in my wife's life.
202
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,280
And it also happened in my kids lives at the ages of four and five.
203
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840
They all received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
204
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,440
So it's like when we put our finger in a light socket, don't do it.
205
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,600
But we will encounter something.
206
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,080
We will have a surge of power.
207
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,720
When we encounter the dunamis power of Jesus by the Holy Spirit,
208
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,000
we're going to be changed.
209
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,960
We're going to be transformed.
210
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,600
Something is going to happen. Amen.
211
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,880
And tell us that story about where the devil tried to kill you.
212
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,200
Yeah, well, I am a combat veteran from the Marine Corps.
213
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,600
I've served in Iraq and Afghanistan, so I've been in some very crazy places.
214
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,160
But it was about a year plus ago.
215
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,240
I was actually a private military contractor.
216
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480
So this is all work related, so I can't get into too many of the details.
217
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,160
But I know the devil tried to kill me.
218
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,400
So the devil tried to kill me.
219
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,720
I ended up in a Jordanian hospital for five days and I didn't know.
220
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,120
There's a language barrier.
221
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,640
There's a lot. All I had was Jesus.
222
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,040
And I've always been in the ministry, but I've always had to do another job.
223
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,320
I've always had to be bivocational.
224
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,480
I've only been full time like once many years ago in the ministry.
225
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,560
Other than that, I've always had to have another job.
226
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,120
And so I've been a private military
227
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,440
contractor and leading Bible studies overseas to contractors and doing our jobs.
228
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,720
But the devil tried to take me out.
229
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,440
But in that experience, I saw Jesus and I saw into the cloud of witnesses.
230
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,640
And he was telling me, your race isn't finished yet.
231
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,560
Your race isn't finished yet.
232
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,800
And I was in the hospital for five days and then came home.
233
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,280
I had minimal energy.
234
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,560
It took three or four months to recuperate.
235
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,000
But this book, during five minutes of energy, ten minutes of energy,
236
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360
it was a love gift. I started compiling it.
237
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,760
And you know, I probably should have been resting a little bit more.
238
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,160
But just five minutes of energy, ten minutes of energy.
239
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,160
I put together this book because for about four or five months,
240
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,080
I didn't know if I was going to make it.
241
00:14:54,280 --> 00:15:00,400
And I was this close, this close at 42 years old of being received into heaven
242
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,480
prematurely. But I put together this book.
243
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,360
I was like, this is the message that I need to send to the world.
244
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,720
But I put all that stuff behind me.
245
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920
I'm going forward, running the race that Christ has set before me.
246
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,840
Seen in Pakistan, we just saw like a thousand people
247
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,200
receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
248
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600
So this was a love gift to the body of Christ.
249
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,120
Amen. And that's beautiful.
250
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,080
And also you had this book called Spirit Empowered Journal.
251
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,000
So you have a lot of resources.
252
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Tell me and my viewers and listeners how they can connect with you and Fireborn
253
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,520
Ministries and get some of these these materials.
254
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,960
You've already mentioned some of it.
255
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,600
But the good thing about a podcast is you can stop it and back it up and write it
256
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,200
down again if you didn't get it first time around.
257
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,280
And we'll put it in the notes because I want people to connect.
258
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,800
Because I think this is so important.
259
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,160
And also, let me just mention, lest I forget it, that if you know people,
260
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:00,640
those who are watching who need this message, who would relate to this message,
261
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,920
who are maybe searching for more, be sure to forward this and put it on social media.
262
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,760
That's how we get the word to go out.
263
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,520
And sometimes these things even go viral in a small way.
264
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,640
So how can people connect with Jared Laskey?
265
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,880
Yes, sir. They could go to firebornministries.com.
266
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,600
That's F-I-R-E-B-O-R-N ministries.com.
267
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Fireborn Acts, Chapter one, verse eight,
268
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,560
Deuteronomy's Power, firebornministries.com.
269
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,120
They could email me info at firebornministries.com
270
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:35,640
and they could get the books on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, anywhere online where books are sold.
271
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:41,120
That's great. And I want to thank you for being on my podcast today.
272
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,160
I've spent my career covering the Spirit Filled Community,
273
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,240
and it's more than just a community of believers.
274
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,520
There's also the doctrine and and of course, we publish books, too,
275
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,280
including I've written a book about the Holy Spirit.
276
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,360
So I want to thank you for being on.
277
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,840
I want to thank you for your ministry.
278
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,240
You have such a pure heart.
279
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,680
I praise God for you and I just wish you every blessing in the future.
280
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,520
And with that, I'll give you the last word and then I'll be back for a closing
281
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,800
thought, encouraging people to subscribe and to share this again.
282
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,600
Yes, sir. Well, it's an honor.
283
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,680
It's a pleasure to be on The String Report.
284
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,600
You are doing amazing things through
285
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,920
Charisma Media, resourcing the world with the power of the Holy Spirit.
286
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:30,000
But I want people to know that there's so much more to the Spirit Filled,
287
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:37,280
Spirit Empowered life and the baptism of the Holy Spirit immerses you into more of God.
288
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,840
It activates you to operate in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and see your
289
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,720
life change and transform, but also the world around you.
290
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,720
And that's why I do what I do.
291
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,280
I hope you enjoyed my interview with Jared Laskey.
292
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,720
I hope that you'll share it with others, put it on social media.
293
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,280
Let's make this thing go viral because we need the power of the Holy Spirit now more than ever.
294
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,480
And while I invited Jared on to promote his book and I hope you'll get it.
295
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,600
I hope you'll read it as I have.
296
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,640
I want to just call attention to the fact that my latest book is Spirit Led Living
297
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840
in an Upside Down World. It's a very different kind of book.
298
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,360
It talks more about overall living in the Holy Spirit and some of the challenges
299
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:21,480
that we face and what I call the upside down world.
300
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,320
And we really, really need the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
301
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,600
And I'm doing everything I can through Charisma Media, my Strang Report podcast
302
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,080
and in other ways to promote this because this message is not widely known.
303
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,720
There are a lot of people who actually fight against it.
304
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,840
And of course, the secular world people who don't know Jesus, who have never
305
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,920
learned about the Holy Spirit, they have no idea that they need it too.
306
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,000
So let's all become ambassadors, not only for the gospel of Jesus Christ,
307
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,600
but also the deeper things of the Lord, which are available through the Holy Spirit.
308
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,960
So thank you for watching.
309
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,560
Thank you for sharing this.
310
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,560
If you don't already subscribe, be sure to do so.
311
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,080
I'm happy that my subscriptions are continuing to go up.
312
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:13,680
Hit the little bell so that you know when we're on every Tuesday and Thursday at 4
313
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,520
p.m. Eastern time. Thank you for watching until next time.
314
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:43,720
God bless you.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to this special edition of the Strang Report podcast.
2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,820
My guest today is Jared Laskey of Fireborn Ministries in Arizona.
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,600
He has an amazing gift to be able to help people to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,240
And he's written a book. We're going to talk about it today.
5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,060
You're going to find out how you can get hold of it. And of course, if you followed me and my
6
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:32,760
ministry and Charisma magazine, you know that we believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is so important.
7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:40,920
And I'm glad to promote it in any way, including my interview today to talk about how the baptism of the Holy Spirit

00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,360
even empowered him to overcome an attack of Satan that almost took his life and how it absolutely
9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,400
transformed his life and how it can transform yours.
10
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,200
So stay tuned and then I'll be back at the end with another message.
11
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:12,520
Jared Laskey, thank you for coming on my podcast to talk about a very important topic, and that is the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
12
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,080
So let me start by just asking you why you believe this is so important that you wrote this book
13
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,400
called Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
14
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Well, it's an honor, it's a pleasure to be on the String Report, sir.
15
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,640
But I wrote the book so that people can personally encounter the Holy Spirit and see the need for Jesus,
16
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,040
who's the baptizer with the Holy Spirit, to empower them to be better equipped witnesses for Jesus.
17
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,120
And I wrote that message because it is my life message.
18
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,720
I've seen thousands of people receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit in many different ways,
19
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,920
whether through the laying on of hands or remotely or over phone calls or even via text message.
20
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:58,680
But people need the power of the Holy Spirit to be better equipped witnesses to spread the kingdom of God through the face of the earth.
21
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,440
And it was a message of love because I went through a health scare last year and I knew that if my life,
22
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,120
if the devil tried to kill me, I wanted to bounce back, give him a black eye and release the message to the world,
23
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,720
because this is my life message to see people encounter the Holy Spirit personally and know him and fellowship with him.
24
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:24,000
Well, I want to hear your testimony in just a minute, but I agree with what you've just said.
25
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,720
It is very important.
26
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,640
Why do you believe that it's so controversial, even within the church,
27
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,240
where on one side you have cessationists who believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
28
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040
the work of the Holy Spirit, all those things died with the apostles.
29
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,680
Then you have people who claim to be Spirit filled.
30
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,160
They may even agree with the doctrine, but they don't even receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
31
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,440
I mean, you know, I've been a journalist for a long time.
32
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:51,560
I've done the research.
33
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,400
I don't have the figures in front of me, but and they probably vary from church to church.
34
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,200
But it's well known that in many Pentecostal Charismatic churches,
35
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,560
half the people have never received in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for a whole variety of reasons.
36
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Why do you think that more, why it's not more abundantly clear to most believers
37
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,600
how important the Holy Spirit is?
38
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Well, because the devil doesn't like Holy Spirit and the devil's against Holy Spirit.
39
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,280
And he's trying to do all he can to hide the manifestations,
40
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,680
the spiritual gifts in the back rooms of a lot of churches.
41
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,600
When we need it at the forefront, we also need it on the streets.
42
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,400
I've seen people receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit in front of COVID tents,
43
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,160
in hospitals back in 2020, 2021, nurses, doctors coming out,
44
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,800
receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues for the first time.
45
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,400
It's controversial because the devil doesn't want us to have direct access
46
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,920
in prayer to Jesus Christ, because that's what speaking in tongues is part of.
47
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,240
It's our prayer language, direct access to the throne room of Christ Jesus.
48
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,520
I grew up a cessationist, but Holy Spirit was speaking to me at the ages
49
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920
of 12 and 13 through prophetic dreams.
50
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,560
And I knew that Jesus was speaking to me, even though I had a pastor.
51
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,320
One pastor said it's from the devil.
52
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Another pastor had said that God doesn't talk that way anymore.
53
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,920
But it was the Holy Spirit wooing me to encounter Jesus.
54
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,120
And so eventually, when I opened up to the present reality that the Holy Spirit
55
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,960
is a person and he's here and he empowers us, he filled me up like, wow.
56
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,800
It was the most incredible experience of my life.
57
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,640
But for some reason, and you bring up the great point about people in Pentecostal
58
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,480
churches, a large percentage not having the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
59
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,920
For some reason, we hide Holy Spirit or some people try to hide Holy Spirit
60
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,760
in the back room or they don't even acknowledge the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
61
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,960
even though they adhere to it doctrinally.
62
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,600
But we still need that experience.
63
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,160
We're several generations in since the Azusa Street revival and the foundation
64
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,200
of all the Pentecostal Charismatic denominations.
65
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,360
But these are generations that that need,
66
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,080
especially now more than ever before, because of what is going on in the world.
67
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,200
Now, there is a movement within some church denominations where they're having schools
68
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000
of the Spirit, and we're seeing that now where people who've been raised in, say,
69
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,120
Pentecostal churches are now opening up to the truth and the present reality
70
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,360
and experience and encountering the Holy Spirit.
71
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,640
So that's awesome.
72
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,560
But we need more of that, which is why when I preach the gospel,
73
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,960
I also preach healing, baptism of the Holy Spirit all in one so that people
74
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,360
encounter all that the Holy Spirit has for them in one.
75
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,360
The moment that they're saved within minutes, they're baptized with the Holy
76
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,040
Spirit or healed. But the devil doesn't like it.
77
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,360
But that's why we need to promote it more.
78
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,360
We need to preach on it more and we need
79
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,640
to encounter it more so that people can be empowered by the Holy Spirit through Jesus.
80
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,240
Well, that's so important.
81
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,960
And my story is very different than yours.
82
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,480
I'm actually a fourth generation Pentecostal, believe it or not.
83
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,280
My grandparents and great grandmothers
84
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,440
received the baptism with the Holy Spirit not long after Azusa Street, believe it or not.
85
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,920
And so this was always something I look forward to.
86
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,400
And I received, as I can remember, when I was 11 years old.
87
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,720
And it was a it was a valid experience.
88
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:33,760
And I believe that it kept me through some very difficult teenage years.
89
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,440
But I'm interested in your story.
90
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,800
Tell me the story of how you received the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
91
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,880
I love sharing the story because this change and transformed my life.
92
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:52,160
I was a rebellious teenager and I don't want to focus on too much of what I did back then.
93
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,080
I'm healed, I'm whole, I'm restored.
94
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:58,480
But I wasn't serving Christ Jesus, even though his Holy Spirit was speaking to me
95
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,680
and wooing me to come to him.
96
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520
So I left everything behind.
97
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:10,080
My my friends, the drugs, all that stuff got into YWAM, Youth with a Mission.
98
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480
And within weeks, within a month and a half or two months,
99
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,560
I was asking for more of the Holy Spirit.
100
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,480
And there's a lot of other details there.
101
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,680
But I'd had this this woman lay hands on me
102
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,680
just to agree with me to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to speak in tongues,
103
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,160
because I heard it, but I didn't know what exactly it was.
104
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,880
But I was like, if that's the more of the Holy Spirit I need,
105
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,520
then I want to receive whatever that is.
106
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,800
I had minimal understanding, but I wanted more.
107
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,280
That night, the Holy Spirit was speaking to me through amazing,
108
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,840
incredible dreams, and my roommate said that my cheeks were on fire.
109
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Within a few days, I went to my small group later and I told him everything
110
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,000
the Holy Spirit was speaking to me.
111
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,280
And he said, so you want to speak in tongues?
112
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,680
And he said he had the faith.
113
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,480
He said, I believe it will happen right now.
114
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720
So he explained to me that he was going to lay hands on me and the Holy Spirit
115
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,600
was going to speak to me a syllable or phrase in tongues.
116
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,480
And then I'm to repeat what the Holy Spirit has spoken to me,
117
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,520
because I've been learning how to hear the voice of God at the age of 18 in YWAM.
118
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,000
So there I was.
119
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,360
And I I heard the Holy Spirit speak loud and clear.
120
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,120
And I start repeating that word over and over.
121
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,400
When I'd asked Jesus to baptize me with the Holy Spirit and in the fire of God
122
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,120
fell upon me in wave after wave of power, about four or five waves of power,
123
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,000
electricity surging through my body, speaking in tongues, praising Jesus.
124
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,040
I was crying, weeping, laughing.
125
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,000
And because of my background, I did this for about two, two and a half hours.
126
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Wow. And this was power.
127
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,760
This was the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit upon me.
128
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,800
And my and Sam, my mentor, he said, you know,
129
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,160
the devil will try to tell you that you made this up and he'll try to.
130
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,160
And I was like, I know this was all Jesus.
131
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,600
I can never deny what Jesus just did.
132
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,680
And then Sam told me to pray in tongues every day.
133
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:08,840
And I've been doing that ever since, even in combat zones and mission trips,
134
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,600
driving down the road, praying in the spirit because it edifies us.
135
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,680
So and that's what drives me, what drives my ministry.
136
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Well, you know, there's so much that you're mentioning and so much
137
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,280
that I should unpack in a short podcast.
138
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,480
And one of the ways that people can learn more is through your book.
139
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,400
And before the podcast is over, I want you to tell everyone how they can get it.
140
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,560
But also you have an e-course on our
141
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,720
Charisma website where people can learn more.
142
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,120
Tell me about that.
143
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,320
And also, then I want to talk about that
144
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,600
incredible story that you referred to where the enemy tried to take your life.
145
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,000
But I think it's important to let people
146
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,600
who are watching and listening know that, you know, how they can find out more
147
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,800
about this experience that where you just said so much so quickly that I want people
148
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,360
to really be able to learn what you what you are trying to share.
149
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:05,680
Yeah, you're right. There is a lot to unpack there.
150
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,960
But all I can say is it's Jesus.
151
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,520
And if people are hungry for Him, they will encounter Him.
152
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,320
If people want more of the Holy Spirit in their life, ask for more, ask for more.
153
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Dive into the scripture, dive into personal time with Jesus,
154
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600
spend time fellowshiping with the Holy Spirit.
155
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,440
But that's why I've got an e-course on Charismacourses.com,
156
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,520
the baptism with the Holy Spirit. It's free.
157
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,440
It always will be.
158
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,360
It's also on my website, Firebornministries.com.
159
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,160
I've had, I think, 2500 students go through that.
160
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,320
People can.
161
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,600
It's only four or five videos.
162
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,320
The fourth video is the prayer and activation where my wife and I worship
163
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,680
together and start praising and singing in tongues.
164
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,200
And many, many people receive their spiritual prayer language going through
165
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,600
that e-course. However, if they don't, they could email me at info at
166
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,280
Firebornministries.com and I could schedule a prayer call.
167
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,800
I've seen people just the other day.
168
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,040
I saw a guy in South Africa through WhatsApp receive the baptism of the Holy
169
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Spirit a few weeks ago before that.
170
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040
I saw someone through Facebook Messenger who in the UAE
171
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,640
received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
172
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,960
She'd gone through my e-course, the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
173
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,400
So I let them know they don't yet receive their spiritual prayer language
174
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360
through that e-course, then they could schedule a prayer call.
175
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,120
But I always encourage them to review video for the activation.
176
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,920
And usually they cancel the prayer call because they've received the Holy Spirit
177
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,640
falling upon them like we see in Acts, Chapter 2.
178
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,160
But the Holy Spirit is received through the laying on of hands or through falling
179
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280
upon people. So through the e-course or even through the prayer calls,
180
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,840
it's by faith, but that's the Holy Spirit falling upon them.
181
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,400
So CharismaCourses.com has a free e-course.
182
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,920
My website, Firebornministries.com has the free website.
183
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,680
But you mentioned your wife and in this book, you tell how your wife received
184
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,720
the baptism of the Holy Spirit. So tell us that story.
185
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,680
Yeah, my wife was 13 years old.
186
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,160
She went to summer camp.
187
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720
She was part of a great association of churches at that time.
188
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,640
The great people that we were part of for many years.
189
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,400
And she felt the call of God upon her life.
190
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,600
It was an altar call.
191
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,680
And she felt the call of God to call her into ministry, into music, into missions,
192
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,480
which we're doing now. She's an incredible musician.
193
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,680
But she went forward and she received she asked Jesus.
194
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:30,760
People were praying for her.
195
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,040
She asked Jesus to baptize her with the Holy Spirit.
196
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,680
She was slain in the Holy Spirit and was
197
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:38,960
speaking in tongues for, I think, 15 or 20 minutes.
198
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,320
I know she could tell the story better than me, but she came up transformed
199
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,800
in a totally different person because that's what happens when we encounter
200
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Holy Spirit. We are changed.
201
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,800
We are transformed. And that happened in my wife's life.
202
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,280
And it also happened in my kids lives at the ages of four and five.
203
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840
They all received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
204
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,440
So it's like when we put our finger in a light socket, don't do it.
205
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,600
But we will encounter something.
206
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,080
We will have a surge of power.
207
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,720
When we encounter the dunamis power of Jesus by the Holy Spirit,
208
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,000
we're going to be changed.
209
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,960
We're going to be transformed.
210
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,600
Something is going to happen. Amen.
211
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,880
And tell us that story about where the devil tried to kill you.
212
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,200
Yeah, well, I am a combat veteran from the Marine Corps.
213
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,600
I've served in Iraq and Afghanistan, so I've been in some very crazy places.
214
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,160
But it was about a year plus ago.
215
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,240
I was actually a private military contractor.
216
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480
So this is all work related, so I can't get into too many of the details.
217
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,160
But I know the devil tried to kill me.
218
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,400
So the devil tried to kill me.
219
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,720
I ended up in a Jordanian hospital for five days and I didn't know.
220
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,120
There's a language barrier.
221
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,640
There's a lot. All I had was Jesus.
222
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,040
And I've always been in the ministry, but I've always had to do another job.
223
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,320
I've always had to be bivocational.
224
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,480
I've only been full time like once many years ago in the ministry.
225
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,560
Other than that, I've always had to have another job.
226
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,120
And so I've been a private military
227
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,440
contractor and leading Bible studies overseas to contractors and doing our jobs.
228
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,720
But the devil tried to take me out.
229
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,440
But in that experience, I saw Jesus and I saw into the cloud of witnesses.
230
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,640
And he was telling me, your race isn't finished yet.
231
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,560
Your race isn't finished yet.
232
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,800
And I was in the hospital for five days and then came home.
233
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,280
I had minimal energy.
234
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,560
It took three or four months to recuperate.
235
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,000
But this book, during five minutes of energy, ten minutes of energy,
236
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360
it was a love gift. I started compiling it.
237
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,760
And you know, I probably should have been resting a little bit more.
238
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,160
But just five minutes of energy, ten minutes of energy.
239
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,160
I put together this book because for about four or five months,
240
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,080
I didn't know if I was going to make it.
241
00:14:54,280 --> 00:15:00,400
And I was this close, this close at 42 years old of being received into heaven
242
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,480
prematurely. But I put together this book.
243
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,360
I was like, this is the message that I need to send to the world.
244
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,720
But I put all that stuff behind me.
245
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920
I'm going forward, running the race that Christ has set before me.
246
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,840
Seen in Pakistan, we just saw like a thousand people
247
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,200
receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
248
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600
So this was a love gift to the body of Christ.
249
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,120
Amen. And that's beautiful.
250
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,080
And also you had this book called Spirit Empowered Journal.
251
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,000
So you have a lot of resources.
252
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Tell me and my viewers and listeners how they can connect with you and Fireborn
253
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,520
Ministries and get some of these these materials.
254
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,960
You've already mentioned some of it.
255
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,600
But the good thing about a podcast is you can stop it and back it up and write it
256
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,200
down again if you didn't get it first time around.
257
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,280
And we'll put it in the notes because I want people to connect.
258
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,800
Because I think this is so important.
259
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,160
And also, let me just mention, lest I forget it, that if you know people,
260
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:00,640
those who are watching who need this message, who would relate to this message,
261
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,920
who are maybe searching for more, be sure to forward this and put it on social media.
262
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,760
That's how we get the word to go out.
263
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,520
And sometimes these things even go viral in a small way.
264
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,640
So how can people connect with Jared Laskey?
265
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,880
Yes, sir. They could go to firebornministries.com.
266
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,600
That's F-I-R-E-B-O-R-N ministries.com.
267
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Fireborn Acts, Chapter one, verse eight,
268
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,560
Deuteronomy's Power, firebornministries.com.
269
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,120
They could email me info at firebornministries.com
270
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:35,640
and they could get the books on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, anywhere online where books are sold.
271
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:41,120
That's great. And I want to thank you for being on my podcast today.
272
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,160
I've spent my career covering the Spirit Filled Community,
273
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,240
and it's more than just a community of believers.
274
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,520
There's also the doctrine and and of course, we publish books, too,
275
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,280
including I've written a book about the Holy Spirit.
276
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,360
So I want to thank you for being on.
277
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,840
I want to thank you for your ministry.
278
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,240
You have such a pure heart.
279
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,680
I praise God for you and I just wish you every blessing in the future.
280
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,520
And with that, I'll give you the last word and then I'll be back for a closing
281
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,800
thought, encouraging people to subscribe and to share this again.
282
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,600
Yes, sir. Well, it's an honor.
283
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,680
It's a pleasure to be on The String Report.
284
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,600
You are doing amazing things through
285
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,920
Charisma Media, resourcing the world with the power of the Holy Spirit.
286
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:30,000
But I want people to know that there's so much more to the Spirit Filled,
287
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:37,280
Spirit Empowered life and the baptism of the Holy Spirit immerses you into more of God.
288
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,840
It activates you to operate in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and see your
289
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,720
life change and transform, but also the world around you.
290
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,720
And that's why I do what I do.
291
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,280
I hope you enjoyed my interview with Jared Laskey.
292
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,720
I hope that you'll share it with others, put it on social media.
293
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,280
Let's make this thing go viral because we need the power of the Holy Spirit now more than ever.
294
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,480
And while I invited Jared on to promote his book and I hope you'll get it.
295
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,600
I hope you'll read it as I have.
296
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,640
I want to just call attention to the fact that my latest book is Spirit Led Living
297
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840
in an Upside Down World. It's a very different kind of book.
298
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,360
It talks more about overall living in the Holy Spirit and some of the challenges
299
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:21,480
that we face and what I call the upside down world.
300
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,320
And we really, really need the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
301
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,600
And I'm doing everything I can through Charisma Media, my Strang Report podcast
302
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,080
and in other ways to promote this because this message is not widely known.
303
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,720
There are a lot of people who actually fight against it.
304
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,840
And of course, the secular world people who don't know Jesus, who have never
305
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,920
learned about the Holy Spirit, they have no idea that they need it too.
306
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,000
So let's all become ambassadors, not only for the gospel of Jesus Christ,
307
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,600
but also the deeper things of the Lord, which are available through the Holy Spirit.
308
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,960
So thank you for watching.
309
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,560
Thank you for sharing this.
310
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,560
If you don't already subscribe, be sure to do so.
311
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,080
I'm happy that my subscriptions are continuing to go up.
312
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:13,680
Hit the little bell so that you know when we're on every Tuesday and Thursday at 4
313
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,520
p.m. Eastern time. Thank you for watching until next time.
314
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:43,720
God bless you.
