INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The following transcript comes from a talk
that Eric Pryor gave at the Victory in Jesus Church in Denver, Colorado at
7:00 p.m. Sunday, February 24, 1991. There were about 200-250 people in
attendance. The meeting was held in the old Federal movie theatre, which
has definitely seen better days. Attendees were for the most part working
class people with families. The audience was quite vocal and
enthusiastic. Besides myself, there were 5 other pagans in the audience,
scattered around. At least one of these also has a tape recording of the
proceedings.
Pastor Cordova "Larry Lea prayed, and because he prayed, the very general
that attacked him is the very general that got saved." 1/
("Hallelujah!" General praise and applause from the audience.)
this brother, I call up the Reverend brother, come to devil, I mean come to
Denver, and let's give the Devil a black eye. And he called me up and
says, Brother, let's not only, let's not only give a black eye, let's,
let's break a couple of legs already! Alright, Amen! (Applause and cheers
from audience.) Yes! Give him a hand. Yes! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
I want you to stand up and I want you to raise your hands (unintelligible)
Father, in Jesus' name I pray that you anoint our brethren. That his words
would be your words. His thoughts would be your thoughts, Father. That he
would not pull any punches, Father. That he would be an oracle of yours,
Father. Oh Father, you who can set him on fire for you, God, let his words
be as fire, Father, and let the hearts of the people be as brass. Oh, GOD
bring revival to our lives and we'll give you the PRAISE and we'll give you
the glory. In Jesus' name. People, we don't want you to leave tonight if
you have a need. If you're not filled with the Holy Spirit after this
brother's through, we're gonna be down here. Some of us ministers are
gonna be down here with Eric. We're gonna be laying hands on you. We're
gonna be praying for you that God the Holy Spirit would set you on fire
cause let me tell you something, time is short. It is short. Amen.
Please welcome Eric.
Pryor: There're so many microphones around here I don't know what to do
with them. Harvesting souls or harvesting microphones here, I don't know?
Well, I'm, I'm I'm glad, uh, to be here in Denver, and I'll tell you one
thing though, the Strongman, uh, he didn't want me here. He didn't want me
here because he knows that I know. He knows that I know that he is a stone
cold liar. (That's right! comment from audience) Big time liar. What I'd
like to do before we, before I get into my testimony, I, after that I've
got a scripture I'd like to back it up with. I'd like for all of us to do
something really special because this glorifies God, OK? And this is part
of giving the Devil a black eye so if you'll just join in with me, if you
dear ones would just stand up and join in with me, we're gonna work on
giving the Devil a black eye, OK? (Audience stands up.)
Father God, we stand here before you tonight, we stand here before you
tonight because we love you, Father God. Father God, we know that you are
the way, the truth, and the light. Only through you and your son Christ
Jesus, through Christ Jesus can we have eternal life and that SATAN IS A
LIAR! So we're gonna do some spiritual warfare here tonight for you,
Father God, if it please you. SATAN! WE SERVE YOU NOTICE. WHERE THE
LIGHT IS, THE DARKNESS SHALL NOT OVERCOME AND THAT SATAN, WE BIND YOU UP
AND WE CAST YOU DOWN! ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 16:19 IT SAYS "WHATEVER IS
2369
BOUND HERE ON EARTH WILL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN and whatever seeds are sown
here on earth will be sown in heaven," so, Satan, WE BIND YOU UP AND WE
CAST YOU DOWN AND WE PUT YOU RIGHT UNDER OUT FOOT! WE SERVE YOU NOTICE,
GET DOWN, SATAN, GET DOWN! Satan get thee behind us. Father, we sow the
seeds of gospel, and we sow the seeds of love, and we sow the seeds of
truth so that all the people to the corners of the world would know of your
glory through your son Christ Jesus, THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
SATAN WE SERVE YOU NOTICE, YOU GET OUT OF DENVER! We have served you
notice you have no legal right in here, Satan, you have absolutely no legal
right to be here.
Now, Dear ones, I want to hear something that's gonna glorify God. I don't
care what you shout, but on the count of three, we're gonna shout to the
Lord because in the Bible, all through the Bible it said that they shouted
before the Lord. As a matter fact, when Jesus comes, comes back, he's
gonna come back with a SHOUT! And he's probably gonna be saying I'M
COMING! So I'm gonna tell you something, we're gonna shout before the Lord
and we're gonna glorify the Lord with that shout, I don't care you yell
Hallelujah, Satan be gone, whatever, but on the count of three we're gonna
shout before the Lord and we're gonna shake the walls of this temple and
we're gonna let Satan know that WE'RE HERE AND HE'S NOT WELCOME! One, two,
three! (General shouting and cheering by the audience.)
Yeah. That feels good. That feels good and that glorifies the Lord, I
tell you, that glorifies the Lord. Sometimes it takes a shout to wake up
the dead! Let's don't sleep! Don't let Satan get up behind you and stick
a knife in your back! He did it to me! He was giving me black eyes all my
life. So Satan's a liar and I'll tell you what - I'm here through Christ
Jesus and the Holy Spirit running through me. I'm gonna kick him right
back every time. That's why I wear snakeskin boots, cause it says "and you
shall be walking on serpents heads!" Scorpions and snakes, right? That's
all I have to say to Satan. Up your butt! (Applause and cheering from
audience.)
You can sit down. Aren't you glad I don't sing? I wouldn't know what to
sing anyway, other than anointing come upon me and praise the Lord that's
about all I know. And that's about all I want to know, is praise the Lord
Jesus Christ for his goodness and his mercy that he hung on that tree and
he bled for us. Think about that. Here was a man, OK, he was God, but he
was temptations each one, uh, each and every one of us have, yet he was
nailed to that tree. Railroad spikes, think of it, going through his
wrists and through his feet AND HE WENT INTO THE VERY DEPTHS OF HELL AND
TOOK THE KEYS OF POWER FROM SATAN AND GAVE THEM TO THE SAINTS, AND THAT
MEANS YOU! AND YOU CAN USE USE KEYS! THAT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT! If you have
the believer's authority, I want to tell you something, you put on the
whole armor of God and the Holy Spirit runs through you, every time Satan
sees you, boy he runs and he screams. He starts hiding up under every
little rock just like the sneaky little snake he is. Maybe we ought to
make a pair of snakeskin boots out of him tonight.
So I'll tell you something about myself, OK? Whew! Boy I just, I just
love shouting before the Lord and I just love giving the Devil a black eye
because man he had me so deceived. When I was a little kid, I uh, grew up
in a uh, really dysfunctional family and that's a very polite way of
putting it. I was abused. Uh, I was beaten. Matter of fact, I wasn't
beaten, uh, I was actually tortured. At a very early age I learned that
uh, I had to depend on God for everything. Now I didn't know anything much
about life. I didn't even really know too much about Jesus. And at 4 or 5
2370
years old I can remember getting on my knees and crying and saying God,
would you be my father. Now in later years I come to know that that word
that Jesus Christ used was Abba, which is Arabic for Daddy. And he's all
of our Daddy. And he loves each and every one of you, and that's for sure.
That's for sure.
So I grew up, you know, under a lot of oppressions. Matter of fact, even
before I was born the doctor said to my mother, you know, uh, Mrs. Pryor.
She'd spent six months in a uh, mental institution, my father actually uh,
helped drive her crazy with a bit of help from Satan. And she said "Mrs.
Pryor, don't have this kid." I already, she already had three other kids.
She said "don't have this child. You should abort this child." She said
"no, no, no, no, I'm gonna keep it and I don't care what my husband says I
don't care what anybody says, I'm gonna keep this child." And she had me
and, uh, I grew up in a bunch of forester(sic) homes for the first several
years of my life. It's sketchy at best I'm researching my life right now
for an autobiography. But a lot of people want to really know what
happened
on the inside.
So any rate, uh, it's pretty (can't hear word) to find out that for the
first several years of your life you really don't know where you are or
nobody will tell you. So any rate, I grew up depending on the Lord for
everything. But I didn't really see it as salvation or anything it was
just naturally praying for the Lord to come and help me. And he did. He
answered those prayers. He knew I wasn't born again. And, uh, since I had
no control over my life, you know, I was getting abused. My parents would
do things like hide food on me. I'd go to school, one time I went to
school with a broken foot. One time I had my skull fractured and I passed
out in the school and woke up semi-con, uh, came out of a coma in a
hospital. Didn't even know what happened to me. Why I had passed out,
'cause night before I was beaten all night and had my skull split.
2371
It was a, it was, a rough upbring,uh, up upbringing and I call it uh, uh,
Larry Lea, God bless him, he's uh, he's one of my uh, spiritual fathers and
he calls them prayer warriors and I call them GLADIATORS! FRONT LINE MEN!
They see some big time combat with the sword of the spirit. You always
associate gladiators with that sword. Boy, I'll tell you, this is our
sword right here. (Holding Bible aloft. amen, etc. from audience.) And how
many of you know that this is a mighty sword. Big time mighty. (applause)
So, what happened was, is I grew up, I sought power and I sought it in all
the wrong places. Control. So that I wouldn't have to put up with the
beatings, so that I could eat, so that I could just live a normal life like
any other kid. I had all these problems. I just wanted to live a normal
life. So I sought power.
And around the age of, well actually at 8 years old I was already reading
Tarot cards. But around 10 years old is when I really started to
intelligently seek power and I'd always been taught that God was a
judgmental God. I was taught that "GOD WILL STRIKE YOU DEAD if you do
this. GOD WILL STRIKE YOU DEAD if you do that." Some of you older timers
might know something about the manipulation of the hand and the body and
how God will strike you dead, if you know what I'm saying, you know. Well
I'll tell you, everything was God will strike you dead. And I started
thinking "what's going on here? What kind of God is this?" But I was
taught that Satan would give you, would give you power, he would give you
money, he would give you the girls that you want. He'll give you, he'll
give you everything. So I got a really wrong picture of Satan. That was a
deception. And I was taught that deception, believe it or not, by people
who were teaching other people about God. Preachers.
So I sought out, I actively sought out, the occult sciences so that I might
study to show myself approved as it were. And I studied just about every
occult science there was. It started out, candy coated enough with
Witchcraft. I'm a white Witch. I'm not, I'm not out there to hurt
anybody, I'm just gonna you know heal everybody and love on trees and love
on the Goddess and worship nature. Well why worship nature when you can
worship THAT WHICH CREATED NATURE? (audience applause and comment.) WHY BE
SO OPPRESSED WITH SATAN WHEN GOD CREATED LUCIFER WHO FELL AND BECAME SATAN?
GOD IS SO MUCH MORE AMAZING! It's amazing that I'm here today. It is
amazing that I'm alive! I have half the Pagan nation cursing me! Do I
look dead to you? No. It's but by the grace of God that I'm here.
Because of his love and his mercy that I'm here.
So what happened, I got involved in the occult and I really steeped in it.
And I studied. Then one day, I tried to get things right with my family.
I, by that time I was 15 years old, I'd already been an ordained High
Priest. People were already starting to name BABIES after me! I was like
a Mozart of the occult community, the prodigal child! I lived in a temple!
I lived in an occult temple 24 hours a day! I could get up, I had books
all over the place and anything that I wanted to know. I had some of the
finest occult teachers that the world could offer. I'm talking about the
big guns. And they all came and they trained me, mano y mano. They
discipled me just like I'm being discipled by Pastor Dick Bernal over at
Jubilee Christian Center. Just like I'm being uh, discipled by, uh, uh,
uh, Pastor Kennedy and Larry Lea, people like that. I was discipled by the
greats in the occult now I'm being discipled by the greats in the Lord!
(audience
applause.)
2372
So, I tried to get things right with my family, and one day I, I had quit
school. I was selling my body in New York City. I was in between New
Jersey and New York as a male prostitute and I was going into covendoms in
New York City. I was doing all kinds of crazy things. I was living in a
temple and kinda coming back into Jersey and sniffing around and seeing
what was up. I was doing drugs boy you name it, I would eat it. If I
thought it would get you high, I would eat it. And I did. I, I, I had
more occult books, I had, as a matter of fact, my library at one time was
big enough to fill at least one wall from the floor to the ceiling high of
some of the finest occult books that you could get and the people that
wrote those books were the people that were teaching me.
So at any rate, I decided I'd try to get things right with my father. For
some reason I was like a dog that had been kicked and wanted to come back
to his master with his tail between his legs. So I tried to get things
right with my family, but, uh, of course it didn't work out. And one day I
went to the high school that I used to go, used to go to school at, and I
sat in the assembly and Word of Life Singers from Scroon Lake, New York,
Jack Wurtz and Word of Life Singers came in. They had a crusade. And boy,
I'll tell you, those, those, those singers just amazed me. Now I was very
impressed that day and I don't know how I came across this woman, I don't
remember, uh, I had a syringe filled up with battery acid in my locker and
I was thinking, well after this crusade I'm just gonna go into the bath-
room, I'm gonna take that syringe, big 16 gauge needle, and just take it IV
and painful or not, I didn't care, I was just going to do my life in.
And, uh, one young lady just said she had a burden for me. She was going
to sing but she came up to me and she said look, and gave me this little
tract and told me a little bit about the Lord. And I FELT something from
her. I felt LOVE come from this woman by impartation with the love of the
Holy Spirit. And I went back and I asked my father, I said, "Dad, I want
to go to this this, this crusade." My father over his, uh, Jack Daniels
and Schmitz Beer is like, "Ah, you can't go."
So I went anyway. And I walked from Bergenfield, New Jersey to Hackensack
New Jersey and I was the first one there. And I sat in an empty auditorium
and watched these people set everything up and I was just amazed by the
whole thing. Well, they got to singing (unintelligible) and they
evangelized and they spoke about the Lord, and they had an altar call. And
it hit me. And I'll tell you I came down for that altar call. When I came
down for that altar call I believe that I had a real genuine experience
with the Lord at that time. I mean I was blasted with something. And I
later was uh, baptized. I was submerged in a baptismal tank. And, uh, the
small occult book collection that I had was nothing compared to the
collection you'll see on the video tape that I burnt up, but it burnt up.
But the interesting thing about these people were that they were legalis-
tic. They taught me how to rattle off scripture like a machine gun. They
taught me all the "thou shalt nots." They told me you MUST cut your hair.
You MUST do this, you MUST do that. You CAN'T do this, you CAN'T do that.
"I'VE been a Christian longer than you, I know." Notice they didn't say
anything about the Lord says. They said I say and YOU must. They were
judgmental. They were clear with me. And then they sent me up to, uh, a
Bible Institute. And there I was a wrangler and I worked with the youth,
and I had plenty of scripture in me. And I knew Jesus Christ was Lord, I
just didn't like the life I was living. It was just plain old too rigid.
I was still, I still had garbage pail mouth. My mind hadn't been renewed.
2373
And that's where Satan goes, right into the mind. That's where he does his
warfare. Because when Jesus is in your heart, he can't get in there, but
he can get in your mind alright. And he can tell you what you can't do.
He can kinda tell you what you should do. So I went up there and we got
into an argument over something really stupid. Believe it or not, it was a
buck knife. Now as a wrangler, it was part of my job if I had to snap some
leather to save a child's life, or my life or a horse's life or something,
I needed that knife to snap some leather. And they couldn't deal, these
are, these are Christian brothers and sisters, they could not deal with
this. they said, "It presents a bad image of God to carry that knife in
front of those young children." I said "well, don't you think it would
present a worse image if one of those children got trampled to death? I
need that knife to snap leather." And he just went on about this knife and
I'm thinking "what's going on here?" Finally I said, "you want the knife
so bad?" I took the knife out and I stuck it in his desk and I said,
"that's it" and I left.
I said well, you know I mean, it was something after Jesus, I knew there
was some kind of power there. I knew there was power there, but I just
couldn't believe that cause I didn't know anything about a personal
relationship with Abba Father. I knew nothing of that. So I left, and
boy, the Strongman was right behind me going, hehehe, "we got him now. Oh
we got this guy now. Not only is he already a high priest, but he knows
where to go." And I did. I went right back to New York City. Right back
to those temples and I started studying even more fervently, trying to find
a way to get back to God. That's all I wanted to do.
It was candy-coated at first. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong at
first. And I started to digress into the darkness. I mean farther and
farther. There were points where I blatantly didn't care. And I hexed and
I cursed, and let me tell you something, I've heard people say that uh,
Satanists are taught not to curse Christians because, uh, Christians know
the Lord. Let me tell you something, Satanists will curse God himself.
They'll curse anything. They'll curse anything that moves including
THEMSELVES and they don't even know it! But they don't care.
So I got involved in Voodoo, Santeria, Macumba, Ceremonial Magick,
Witchcraft, you name it, I was into it. Ouija boards - I had a collection
of em. Tarot cards - I had one of the largest private collections of Tarot
cards in the United States. I was into it all. All of it.
And I'll tell you, as time progressed I got farther and farther into the
darkness and I tried to get involved with the powers of the secular world
and keep my occult practices which I believed to be spiritual practices at
the time, off to the side, just get involved in pursuing my artwork. And
I, I was gettin pretty good with it for awhile. I was making some money.
I wound up getting married, had two kids, we started to buy a plane,
started to put money down on my first town house, uh, I had two cars and I
was really, really, really being impressed by the Strongman. And I was
drinking, I was drugging, I was doing all kinds of things. I was shot four
times, no actually I was shot five times, and was stabbed four times. I've
still got the bullet holes in my body to prove it. One time I actually
went through a third story window and had my neck fractured and my lower
back fractured, but by the grace of God I survived. And actually got up
and walked away. But any rate, no, I wound up in the hospital though
nonetheless.
But any rate, I got steeped in darkness and uh, one day in 1987 my wife and
2374
I really we just weren't hitting it off my first wife and I, I started to
really seek after help with my problems with alcohol, my depression and all
this other stuff. And I was practicing dark stuff and I just didn't put
two and two together. I didn't know that that was the SOURCE of my
OPPRESSIONS! I didn't know that. That's how deceived I was! AND I KNEW
WHO SATAN WAS! I HELPED HIM WRITE SOME OF THE BATTLE PLANS!
So, my wife and I split up. And I left in 1987 for a pack of cigarettes
and never came back. Came out here to the west coast. And boy, I'll tell
you, what happened then, that was the most amazing thing that's ever
happened to me in my entire life. And I'll praise and worship the Lord any
way you want me to standing on my HEAD if he wants me to! (Comments from
audience "Yes! Yes! Hallelujah!) I founded New Earth Temple. And I used
to go out and do all these works like help the homeless, feed the homeless.
I used to try to clothe the homeless. I even lived with them. I had a
business out here for a while. I even lived with them. I gave up the
business to live with them. I worked with the Red Cross during the
earthquake. I did everything trying to be a humanitarian, figuring, well,
you know God's got a weigh that this is good.
I never really thought about the Lord, although, it's funny, or not funny
depending on kinda how you look at it, alot of times I'd hold Circles,
which is like a service, with the covendom, and while they were all
chanting he he, in Enochian, under my breath I was saying Praise the Lord
Jesus Christ. I was a hypocrite! Jesus Christ was my ace up my sleeve.
Now I can't explain any of this. I don't know how to explain any of this.
But I do know one thing, God is not a loving god, he IS love! He is love!
(amens from the audience.) PURE, UNADULTERATED LOVE! AND HE GAVE HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON THAT NONE OF US SHOULD PERISH, BUT LIVE AN EVERLASTING LIFE
WITH HIM! And I can think of no better place to be than with God, who can
take Satan and just go like that and trash him in a moment. Satan knows
that the war has been won. But he's gonna take down as many people as he
can. I know he tried to take me down but I, I'm wise to him now. And not
only that, but I got his battle plans and I'm gonna expose him to the
saints ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!! ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!! (Applause from
audience.) AND THAT INCLUDES (unintelligible)
Christians are not wimps. Brother I know that we're not wimps. (audience
response - yea) WE'RE THE MIGHTY SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE ONE LIVING
GOD! WE ARE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD! WE ARE KINGS AND QUEENS, HEIRS TO TRONES
IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! AND WE WILL BE UP THERE WITH JESUS CHRIST AND WE
will have angels to judge. WE WILL RULE! WE ARE RULERS! We're better
than this. We are better than this what's happening out here in the world.
GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD! DON'T YOU EVER
FORGET IT! (Applause and cheers from audience) AND REMEMBER, IT'S NOT YOU,
BUT IT'S HIM, ABBA FATHER, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT FLOWS THROUGH YOU!
THROUGH THE AUTHORITY INVESTED IN YOU IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME THAT YOU CAN
KICK SATAN RIGHT IN THE TAIL EVERY TIME AND WIN! Put the whole armor of
God on! (Applause and cheers.)
God alone. I didn't mean to get off track there, but every now and then
the Holy Spirit goes, "Hey, Eric, say this." The Holy Ghost! (Laughter
and applause from audience.)
Any rate, I used to, I used to call, uh, since I had a bad experience with
legalism and all this other stuff, uh, churchianic stuff, you know, you're
going to church and be like, boy if you, in some churches if you get up and
2375
you say PRAISE THE LORD! and you really feel it, they go ssshhhh! Now wait
a second! You're supposed to worship the Lord with a SHOUT! THAT'S THE
WAY THEY DID IT IN THE BIBLE! IT'S ALL OVER THE BIBLE! It even says Jesus
is coming back with a shout! IT TELLS YOU HOW TO WORSHIP THE LORD WITH A
SHOUT IN HIS HOUSE. SO LET THE WALLS OF THE TEMPLES SHAKE TO LET SATAN
KNOW THAT YOU'RE THERE! DON'T GIVE HIM AN INCH, SAINTS, DON'T GIVE HIM AN
INCH. Cause you give him an inch he'll take your life. He'll take your
life. That's a fact.
So I used to monitor what I used to call these right wing fundamentalist
preachers. These, these preachers who'd deny us our rights. These free-
flowing Pagans to worship the Mother Goddess ... and the God and to hug
on trees. You know, man, when I look back I, I'm surprised I didn't go
into a health food store and say, "Uh, yeah, dude, uh, I'll order a bowl of
dirt and a side to tree bark, man." And it was really wild. I was
twisted! But I was teaching a lot of people. A lot of people. I sowed a
lot bad seed and I pray for a crop failure, oh, Father, I pray for a crop
failure! Cause what you sow so shall you reap. So I pray for that every
day. I'll get on my knees till they bleed if I have to. I'll, I'll drop
any time the Lord tells me to.
So, any rate, I monitored all these preachers and one day I'm sittin in my
office and I'm looking over all these radio show offers, I'm looking over
the book offers, and believe me, I had a lot of book offers. A lot of
people wanted to know what I had to say about the realm of the occult,
about the realm of the darkness. I was (unintelligible) riding a dark
horse. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE WHITE HORSE WAS A BETTER RIDE! A MUCH
MORE POWERFUL RIDE! (Cheers from audience.) And isn't that quite a
coincidence that our Lord Jesus Christ is comin in on a white horse? With
a sword, I might add. And I'm glad I'm not on the receiving end, I'm
tellin you that much.
So any rate, my wife comes in, he he, she comes running into the temple and
she's got this article and she knows I used to give fire and brimstone
ceremonies to the Pagans (unintelligible.) I'm tellin ya, I was so messed
up it was unreal. I wish I had some of the tapes but we burnt up the
temple. Oh well. But she comes running into the office as white as a
ghost cause she knew this would get me really upset. And the article said
this is about Larry Lea, the article said "God's Green Berets are comin in
to San Francisco to exorcise it of demons, of the demons of prayer, uh,
perversion, of witchcraft, of greed, and all these spirits, right?"
I said how DARE this man blasphemy Halloween! A HOLY DAY! Holy smoke was
I wrong! I was big time wrong! But I got angry. And don't you ever
believe that Satan's troopers are not organized. Oh, we have doctors, we
have lawyers. There are actually surgeons that are Satanists! We've got
one in the military that's a lieutenant colonel. And they're out there.
And they're operating on you! What happens if one of their talismans falls
off into your gut? One of their medallions or something? Whew! Ugh! Ohh
that gives me goosebumps just to think about it!
So, I got really fired up and throughout the computer network I told all
the
different pagans, all the covens, which is a group and groves which is an
even, a coven is 13, a grove is larger than 13. I founded New Earth
Temple,
uh, New Earth Fellowship of Mankind in '83 and it's so big I don't even
know how many people there are in it anymore. I just, just, just disowned
2376
it. And I pray every day that they'll come to know the Lord Jesus Christ
(Amens from audience.)
And uh, I came out here and founded the New Earth Temple, which is like a
little sister satellite. Put it under the same charter and, uh, I started
sending out the battle cry. "Here was another Jim Jones coming into town.
The witch trials were gonna start. Cotton Mathers revisited. I can see it
now. Here it comes. They're gonna break out the witch burning stakes and
they're gonna kill the homosexuals. They're gonna kill the poor, they're
gonna kill the witches; they're gonna kill the wizards and the sorcerers
and the warlocks. In the Bible it says suffer not a witch to live and all
this stuff."
And I said "Oh Lord!" And I didn't use quite that word, I said "Oh my
God," and God was listening to me. He said, "yeah, Eric, I got a plan for
you. Wait till you see this one!" But I didn't know it. I did not know
it. So yeah, the battle cry. And I got a lot of response. And along with
my temple, I got in touch with all the gay rights activists, the civil
rights activists, cause it was a political issue at first. To me it was
like, "how dare you come into San Francisco wearing combat fatigues talking
about seizing it by force which is rightfully ours? I'm thinking what
the... what's this guy talking on? This is my temple. You're not seizing
my temple." You know? I didn't know what they were talking about, I was
just reading the newspaper accounts.
So, the day before I got everybody all fired up and news started coming out
of the woodwork. We were on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, we
were in the USA Today, CNN, every news station. I mean I saw the news
printout. This went as far as Australia and Sweden. The printout would go
back and forth against this, uh, uh, uh, across this room several times.
I've got stacks of articles. The whole world knew about this.
And I'm thinking, yeah, right. Alright, the Pagans are gonna finally uh,
be able to voice what they have to voice, that they're an oppressed people.
Little did I know that Christian are even more oppressed because of who
they are. And the Strongman, we were doing the Strongman's work. And he's
out there to do us down and dirty every time to each and every quarter
that's what he's gonna try to do.
So, I wound up doing a show called "People are Talking." I had spies in
the Christian church. Since I had a temple I had to know what the Chris-
tians were up to. So I just had spies go into Pastor Dave Bernal's church
and Jubilee Christian Center. And I was just trying to figure out the way
that I could drop this man like Jimmy Swaggart, who I had occasion to meet
Jimmy Swaggart. And I was seeing that happen.
When I was doing "People Are Talking", they put all the makeup on me and
stuff in the makeup chair. And I heard that Dick Bernal had just walked
in. And I said, "well, this guy's gonna break out a witch burning stake
and this is gonna be it. We're gonna go to blows." Well, I'm tellin you
something, he was the sweetest, most loving transparent man I have ever met
in my life. And he just loved on me. He talked to me. He talked to me.
Man to man. I found out that we had a lot in common. And his wife, Carla,
who's got that that, that that tenacity, that pit bull like tenacity kept
after me about how much God loved me. And I'm like "Get away I've got a
show to do - for the dark side. But I'm right and you're wrong. I don't
know what you people are." That, that, that love was imparted on me.
2377
So, he said, uh, after the show, this was going to have some coffee. And
he said "you, you're, you're going uh, to the uh, crusade?" And I said,
"yeah, but I'm gonna have to go in disguise cause they published in the
newspaper I was coming there to disrupt the crusade." He said "Why don't
you be my honored guest?" I said "what in the? That's one good way of
getting in." See, cause I had planned that if Larry Lea said one thing
racist, elitist, bigoted, not a Christian - don't think I didn't know what
Christianity was all about cause I even said on the news "If they truly are
Christian, they'll welcome me with open arms" just like Jesus Christ
welcomes each and every one of you with open arms. And Lord have mercy,
they sure did.
But, I took a gun with me. I had it in my boot and I figured, "if this
preacher gets out of line and starts with the witch burnings, I'm gonna
shoot this man. Even if I have to lose my life or whatever or go to jail,
I'll shoot him." Because occultists believe just as strongly, a Satanist
believes just as strongly, about what he's doing as a Christian does about
their belief. Some of those really don't care. They even have some of them
so deceived they don't even know. They don't know what to believe in, so
they'll worship a desk. And there are people that do that. There are
people that worship inanimate objects all the time.
So, what happened, the day before the crusade we had a circle and it was
supposed to be a circle, like a service, to bind up and cast down.
Interestingly enough, we were using the same words, that's how you know
when they say that the Devil will use palid half-truths that will sound
almost right? Sounded almost right to me. It sounded right to me,
actually. Actually, the circle in on the videotape. And we got these
Pagans together and there was uh a little bit more than 75 it was more like
a few hundred just at the day, the circle the day before. That didn't
include the army we had for the next day. Ha ha. We had a surprise
coming. We were gonna go to war.
And I'll tell you what happened. We had our circle. It started out to be
a binding. We figured if any negative energy that was gonna come along
with this guy Larry Lea onto the people because we knew the power of
prayer. We knew about the power of prayer. Now Witches have their own
version of prayer. THERE IS POOWER IN WORDS! THAT'S WHY THE LORD WANTS
YOU TO SHOUT! And sometimes it takes shouting to wake up the dead!
So. We had our circle. And things got out of hand, it just haha, whew
boy did it get out of hand! Well, what happened was it started out to be a
simple enough binding circle we'd keep the energy in there and nobody
getting hurt and we could get (unintelligible.) In the news just your
basic Pagan ritual in downtown San Francisco. Sounds a little bit like
Soddom and Gomorrah to me, I don't know about you guys but's its an
understatement for San Francisco. Unfortunately - you guys do a lot of
praying for them there. By the way, let me tell you something, Colorado is
a hornet's nest. You guys may or may not be aware of it. They're just not
as blatant about it here. But they're there. They're watching me. They
know I'm here. AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE NOT IN HERE! Well great. Because
every chance I get I'll pull down the devil's pants and kick him in the
tail. (Applause from audience.)
Well, what I was gonna say, we pulled up. We pulled up in the car and I
got out. I was the first one out of the car. Pastor said, he said Eric
you go out first he, he. They're your people and they're a real ugly
looking crowd. Believe me they were an ugly looking crowd. There was
2378
thousands of them there. There was more like 5,000 of them there. And
they were all dressed like Freddy Krueger. Some of them were wearing their
whole Satanic garb. The Witches were wearing their white Witch garb. How
many of you know there's no such thing between a white Witch and a black
Witch? It's all the Satan. Some it's just a little bit sweeter tasting.
A little bit more deceptive. It's all the same.
So, I got out of the car first. When I got out of the car, they started to
step out and the crowd just ROARED. They were so happy to see me. Cause
they knew that the High Priest of New Earth Temple, a man who spearheaded
and threw all this stuff together was gonna go in there and disrupt the
crusade. Then Dick Bernal gets out of the car. Then they were really
confused. The roar just like instantly stopped and they looked like, huh?
And so Dick Bernal, wearing his casual double-breasted suit, huh,
(unintelligible)
It was really funny. I'm a totally different person now. And when you see
the tape you can see. You know, the Lord did this in just a couple of
months time too. WHICH IS EVEN MORE AMAZING! GOD STILL WORKS MIRACLES!
AND HE EVEN HAD THE SECULAR MEDIA THERE TO DOCUMENT IT AND HE HAD THE
CHRISTIAN MEDIA THERE TO DOCUMENT IT AND THEY PUT IT ON THIS TAPE SO THAT
HE COULD SAY "THE DEVIL IS A LIAR"! (Applause and cheers from audience)
AND I'S ON TAPE! WE GOT IT ON TAPE! And we got it on tape. Devil you are
a liar. We got you with your pants down now! And I'll tell you, he
doesn't even want this tape out. Pastor, Pastor Cordova will tell you what
we went through gettin these tapes here. Unbelievable. These tapes are so
hard to keep in stock it's.... he doesn't want it. He doesn't want his
pants pulled down. Maybe because there's no genitalia there or nothing. I
don't know (laughter from audience). Who knows!
But I'll tell you something, I walked through the crowd and as I walked
through the crowd, I could feel. You know how you can just feel when
someone doesn't like you? I'll tell you somethin, I, I felt hatred. I
felt anger. Matter of fact, you'll see one young man on the tape saying
"We're coming here to hate the Christians." Literally we're coming here to
be hateful. I really didn't want to hate anybody, I just didn't want any
of this, this, (unintelligible) stuff on me. That's all. That's all.
Plus I wanted to hear the other side of the story. There's two sides to
every coin. Ha.. There's the dark and there's the light. There's those
that know Jesus, and those that don't. It's that simple. Ha. It's really
that simple.
So what happened was I walked into the auditorium and I felt behind my back
I could feel like a...kinda like if you've ever been uh, uh, body surfing
in the ocean you've got that rush that just pushes you along, kinda felt
that rushing, pushing, hateful energy on my back. And I looked over my
shoulder and I could see through the glass doors and the barriers and the
riot police with all his combat gear on all these people and they looked so
diseased and so sick. Half of them had AIDS. The other half was just
totally had blown minds. All doped up, smoked up and choked up. They were
out there and they were saying some of the most disgusting things I ever
heard. And they were throwing ripe fruit at the Christians and eggs and
they were being physically violent. As a matter of fact, I saw one young
girl get kicked in the back. She couldn't have been any older than 8 or 9
years old. They ripped her coat off of her. And not one Christian, not
one spirit-filled Christian took a Bible and threw it back at em. And how
many of you know how heavy a Bible can be? It can be a pretty formidable
2379
weapon if you want to use it in a carnal way. BUT IT'S AN EVEN MORE
POWERFUL WEAPON WHEN YOU USE IT AS A SWORD! (Applause from audience.)
So, not one Christian, not one Christian threw a Bible. Not one Christian
goaded anybody on. And they forged through in and when I looked over my
shoulder and I saw all that, I immediately felt ... my heart broke. I
looked over my shoulder and I said "My God, am I responsible for that? Yep
you sure are, Brother. You're the one who ha ha got everybody crazy, yeah,
you're responsible for that. If someone gets hurt of killed, it's on you,
Brother. And I thought, whew, blah." But when I looked in the auditorium
through the doors, I felt something else. I felt love coming out of
there. But it wasn't, it, I, I, I didn't really , it didn't read across at
first as love. It was just something different. Something that I wanted
to run to. I was drawn to it.
And when I went in there, people who I would normally find ugly and
disgusting and aesthetically not pleasing to an eye, and I'm an artist, I
made some good money in the art world, people that I would normally find
ugly, people that I would walk up and say "did anybody ever tell you you
are UGLY!" Well I'm telling you something, man I mean I was really a nasty
person, too, sometimes, and , uh, but now I'm nasty for the Lord when it
comes to Satan. So any rate, I, all these people looked beautiful. It was
like they were glowing. Like, I don't know how to explain it. It was
amazing. And so I went in there and then expected the typical "Gee
Brother, God loves you. Here's a Bible tract." and walk on. "Have you
heard the word of God lately." "Yeah, I'll send him a postcard. I'll call
him." That was all I expected. I expected a bunch of crazed Christians to
sing a bunch of songs, whoop and holler for a little while and tell me
about how much God loved me, and that would be it.
There was something special about these Christians. These Christians were
filled with the Holy Ghost, and they had LOVE! AND GOD IS LOVE! THAT
MEANT THEY HAD GOD IN THEIR HEARTS! AND THAT'S WHAT WON ME OVER! But it
was a battle! Oh the Strongman worked hard! He worked overtime on me to
keep me from coming back to the Father. Maybe I wasn't even in the
kingdom, I don't know.
BUT I KNOW NOW! And I'll tell you something, I see the twinkle in their
eyes and you know when the music started they all swaying and getting into
the spirit there, hands were going up and they're speaking in tongues and
all this, and I said "What do you people do? Drop acid and drink and get
high and then come to a prayer meeting? What is going on here?"
So I did my best. "I am the High Priest of New Earth Temple, Reverend Dr.
Eric J. Pryor. I will maintain at ALL times." And I'll tell you, I kept
on feeling the Holy Ghost and I'm tell you that when they started singing
"CALLING DOWN FIRE" man, they were singing that song bigtime, I'll never
forget it. It's my theme song now, I love it I can't stop singing it.
Cause I know what it means now! CALLING DOWN THE HOLY SPIRIT! And I'll
tell you, my foot started going and I said "Nope!" Can't dance. No. I'm a
High Priest, I'm a High Priest. Had my collar on, my pentacle and
everything.
All the Christians are looking at me like this, but they were loving on
me. They were loving on me. And the music kept on going and my hand
started. "Nope, Nope, Nope! Man if the media gets one shot of you,
Brother, you're career is over. You have no more power. Those 20,000,
50,000 Pagans. Forget it!" So I maintained pretty much a parade rest like
2380
attitude. You can see that in the video. But I was fighting the Holy
Ghost. The Holy Ghost was saying, "Hey, Eric, I want to love on you. I
want to be inside you man. I want to work through you. I LOVE YOU! I
LOVE YOU!" And I didn't know that. And I stood there and I'm telling you
something, it was a battle like I've never, ever felt in my heart.
So, the first night, man, I'll tell you something, I, I, I walked out and I
was. I was in a daze. I was in a trance. I, I, I thought maybe they had
developed some kind of subliminal laser technology or brainwashing. Maybe I
was being emotionally......
(Some lost due to turning the tape)
...and say "Be Healed"! In whose name was I healing 'em? Not the Lord's,
he he, the Strongman had me deceived and the doctors deceived me too. So I
loved it. Well, David Bremmer, Pastor Bernal and Carla and me, we slipped
out through a side door. They threw tear gas grenades at us. We slipped
out through the side door and everybody's choking on the tear gas and I've
been in so many riots in San Francisco it's like, "Hey, oxygen, you know."
So, I came out the side door, man and we went walking through the park.
All... already there's a homeless dude in the park "Hey, Eric, what's up
man? You coming to the park Monday?"
"Yeah, I'll be there, no sweat."
"Hey, good going. Yeah, you give those Christians hell."
Huh. Satan was giving him hell, not the Christians. So what happened was
while they walked in front of me, I furtively reached in my boot and I
threw the automatic in the garbage pail and I said "Nah I don't want to
hurt this man Larry Lea because everything that this man said I could agree
with. So there was a blackout. The media blackout. The media was at my
door all the time. They wanted to know what I thought about this.
I went home and I was, I was changed already, but I didn't know that. And
my wife, I'm laying down in the bed kinda like this (rigid posture). My
wife said to me "Well how was it?"
"Don't ask!"
I went in that temple room and how many of you know that when there is
really heavy duty demonic presence it's like a refrigerator? It's like a
refrig, it's cold. Well the temple became cold. Everything, everything
lost its glint, it's glitter, it's, it's, it's the fascination was all
gone! It was a hollow place! I was practicing what they technically call
the Olde Religion and what do you do to old things? You bury them. It's a
dead religion. And that's exactly what it was was a religion it had
nothing to do with God. It was man made. It was an Adamism.
So, I lay in bed that night, I, I didn't get any sleep. Just like I
haven't gotten any sleep since I got to Colorado. (Laughter from aud-
ience.) Well, now, I did get a little today. About 5 minutes.
So any rate, well, running on the Holy Ghost, you know. A little coffee
every now and then doesn't hurt either. So, uh, I laid there in bed all
night and uh, my wife she, she, she slept pretty well, but she kinda felt
funny too. And, and I said to her, this was the next day for the crusade
and I was invited back. I had a VIP seat. Boy they really had me. The
2381
Christians are really tricky when they want to reel one in, especially the
big fish. "Give em a VIP seat. Make im think he's important. Put his
name on it. Yes, and call him doctor even though he's a befuddled Satan-
ist. Yes, Dr. Pryor, here's your seat." Stoked my ego bigtime. How many
of you know that Satan's got a bigtime ego and so do his soldiers? You
know what I'm saying? So, you know, I took the bait. The Lord gave you
just the bait to use.
So I said the second day I said to my wife, "Look," well, she's now my
wife. She wasn't my wife before but uh Pastor Dick Bernal married us by
the way. I AM NOW A MARRIED MAN! IN THE EYES OF THE LORD! (applause from
audience) She couldn't come on this trip, but when I come back, I'm gonna
bring her. She's got an interesting story to tell too. As a matter of
fact, she's in the tape too. And uh, so then, my wife's a scientist.
Secular scientist. Very well educated. You know I'm kinda stupid compared
to her.
I said, "Look, Sondra, you're gonna have to come with me and help me figure
this out because they think... they're doin somethin there, and you can
feel it. Boy if you could bottle it and sell it, you'd get rich." How
many of you recognize that story from somewhere in the Bible? Uh...lemme
see now, if memory serves me correctly, it might have been one of my
ancient ancestors by the name of Simon, when I was practicing. I'm no
longer a practicing occultist. Simon tried to buy this and bottle it. And
that's exactly what I thought I might be able to do, walk away with some of
that. Restore the energy in here and use it.
So I brought her with me the second day. And I said, "And whatever you do,
do NOT become born again. If you come back here born again, you're out of
here! You can't be THE Priestess of no New Earth Temple if you're a born
again Christian!" hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite, cause I knew something
about Jesus Christ. I just knew it was real. I just didn't know about the
Holy Spirit. I didn't know that the Holy Spirit is that which not only uh,
uh helps you do things that you can not only, can not only do, it helps you
with preparation when you're reading the Word and all that other stuff, but
that the Holy Spirit is what helps you walk a Christian walk, WHICH IS A
VERY VERY NARROW WALK! BUT SATAN'S IS WIDE, REAL WIDE, and you can fall
into the darkness so easy, so so easy.
So any rate, I told her, I said, "Don't you come back born again on me."
And this time, (unintelligible). Every now and then, you know, the music
would be going and everybody'd by "calling down fire" and all these
beautiful songs. First of all, I never really listened to much music
except to Pagan drumming, or Pagan flute playing, or whatever, and, and I
LIKED this music! And you know I started to notice something. Like, for
instance, the Christian band looked like Motley Crue! Half of them were
glowing and had long hair and stuff and I said "Wait a second. This is
kinda messed up here. Aren't Christians supposed to have short hair?"
Christians with EARRINGS in, wearing bizzarre -- don't they all wear, like
black mortician's suits and have short hair and drive big cars and go to
barbeques on Sunday and talk about "How great was your game of golf,
George? "I shot three under par. What did you shoot? "Ah, I got a double
eagle today." I played golf today. But I played it in the spirit! And I
pray in tongues when I play golf. I'm not a bad golfer for someone who's
only into golf for a couple of months.
So any rate, I said to her, "Don't you come back born again." So we're
listening to the music and everybody's swaying and Carla's getting drunk in
2382
the spirit again and everyone tried to figure out WHAT IS THIS! We felt it
too, though. So I mean, we literally looked, you know, like at the
fixtures to see if there was some kind of laser technology in there. Maybe
there's something underneath the seats.
One of the funny things that was happened is I never really eat candy.
I'll have a little bit of coffee with my sugar and I'm sure Pastor Cordova
and Pastor Bryan over here will bear witness to that, but I don't really
eat candy. Just never really, lost the taste for it somewhere along the
line they had these body guards up there for me and this one body guard,
Jerry Hill, boy God bless him, he was the head usher, he is the head usher
at Jubilee, kept on going "here, you want some candy? want some candy?"
And I'm thinking "These stupid Christians. They think they can buy me off
with a lunch, a couple of cups of coffee, and candy? Ah how simple-minded
they are! What a bunch of fools! I'm gonna take 'em for a ride!" What I
didn't know is that it was sanctified candy. (laughter from audience) IT
HAD BEEN PRAYED OVER. AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS EATIN' SO MUCH OF IT.
IT TASTED SO GOOD! SEE, IT TASTES THAT THE LORD IS GOOD! (Applause from
audience.) And the Lord is good.
So, Sondra and I are eating all this candy, and the music's going and I
kept on going "Nope, can't dance." And I had to stomp on my wife's foot
every now and then make sure she wouldn't dance. "Now Quit it!" you know?
So, that night Pastor Bernal took us home and Pastor Bremmer, and he said
"look, uh, you know, I'm, I'm leaving for Hawaii. I gotta be in Hawaii,
but Pastor David Bremmer, my associate pastor, it comes to mind, I didn't
like this guy I call him PRESTO PASTOR, cause he's so SPARKY! and the guy
is just enjoying the Lord, man, this guy fasts 40 days every year. He's
amazing, you know. And I really grew a love for these people. You know, I
normally didn't , I NORMALLY never got close to anybody, but I loved these
people cause they were loving ME! GOD WAS IN THEM! GOD WAS LOVING ON ME
THROUGH THESEPEOPLE, just like you should be loving in the world out there,
so that youcan bring them in! That's the bait, LOVE! Cause God is Love!
SO USE GODAS THE BAIT Let it flow through you!So what happened. Pastor
Dick went to Hawaii and I thought "Well, never seehim again. It's been
nice. Got a couple of free meals out of him, but Istill don't know what's
happening with these Christians. I agree with whatthey're saying, but I
think it may be Silvia(sic) Mind Control. Maybe theyah, are in cahoots
with Ron L. Hubbard or something, or EST or who knows?"But I still kept on
feeling that feeling! IT WASN'T IN THE HEAD, IT WAS INTHE HEART! THERE'S
A BIG DIFFERENCE! Satan works on the head. He can'tget in the heart if
there's light in there. And, boy, you could see itthrough the Christians,
you could see Christians on fire for the Lord causeyou can see it in their
eyes. And, you know, they say that they eyes arethe windows of the soul,
or a mirror, or whatever. That's true, man, youcan see God. A true,
spirit-filled, full gospel Christian, you can see it.So, what happened? I
went back the last night. This was the night of thetest. The same thing
happened all over again, calling down fire and "I amDoctor Eric J. Pryor,
Reverend Minister, High Priest of New Earth Temple, Iam in FULL control. I
AM in full, full, full control. I am. Stop it! I amin full control." And
that's what the last night was like. But, uh, whathappened was, Sondra and
I went home, well, what, before that, I said, "let's put there magick to
the test." That's what we called it, gettingslain in the spirit in the
Holy Spirit and laying on hands. I called thatmagick. That's what
occultists do. You see the same thing. I used to beable to go like that
AND knock people down ten feet away. I used to gowhew! like that and
they'd go right down. Ha, I don't know what I wasslayin' em in, but I was
slayin' em in somethin'. Like mud, you know?So what happened? She had a
2383
headache that day, really bad. She suffersfrom migraine headaches and she
had a runny nose. So, I said to her, eachnight they put out an altar call
for healing. And I said, "OK, let's putthis Christian magick to the test".
So I said, "YOU go up and get healed.We'll use you as a guinea pig. I'll
just go up, kinda behind you." Ha haha. They laid hands on her, but
everybody went on me like this! And theywere praying and they were praying
and they were praying and I was going. Imean the Holy Ghost was going
through me bigtime. They just kept on lovingon me. And I'll tell you, I
walked out of there knock-kneed; floating onwho knows what? I know now,
the Holy Ghost. Ha ha. By impartation.And I went home that night. Sondra
and I were laying down in bed togetherand this time our house was like, I
was expecting icicles to start you know,forming on the roof of the house,
and, uh, she said, uh, "Do you feel it?"I said "Yeah". She said "Can you
sleep?" I said "no". I said, "Can yousleep?" She said "no". So "Well,
what are we going to do?" "I don'tknow". And we just laid there.We just
laid there and they all went back to Jubilee. Our Christian friendswe,
well they said, "well, when we get back," Pastor said "when we getback,
we'll invite you down to Jubilee." So, I called up Jubilee. It was,h, uh,
I think it was on a Saturday and I got their answering machine. AndI think
well, uh, Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, it was a Sunday cause I thoughtthey
would answer the phone at church. I got their answering machine said"Wel-
come to the Jubilee Christian Center if you know the extension numberpush
the button now." AND I FELT THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY GHOST OVER THE PHONETH-
ROUGH AN ANSWERING MACHINE! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! AND I SAID WHOA!THIS
IS GOOD! For a couple of weeks, until I got a chance to go back toJubilee
I used to just call up and listen to that voice, and I feltbetter. And I'd
pass the phone back and forth to Sondra. We got a BIGphone bill! Who
cares? It felt great!So they sent us up, they put us up. Actually, before
that, I gotta tellyou, I had a meeting with Larry Lea. Before the third
night early in themorning. Larry Lea never talks to anybody during the
crusades. He's alwaysin prayer. This brother's a big time prayer. You
know, he prays and heobeys. I do the same thing. Pray and obey. That's
it! That's all thereis to it.And I'll tell you somethin', Dick Bernal
calls me up first thing in themorning last night of the crusade and says
"Hey, Eric, Larry Lea wants tomeet you. He's got a burden on his heart."
And I'm saying, "OK, this is mywarning. I know it. They got the witch
burning stake in back of theroom. They got a limo or a Rolls or something.
Yeah, that's it, yeah.Those money-making Christians with witch burning
stakes. Hypocrites!" Nah, nothing like that. They brought me over there,
went into this little roomand there was Larry. Kinda like that. And, uh,
we sat in his makeup roomand boy, I'll tell you, he was the most humble man
I had ever met. And thetwinkle in his beautiful blue eyes and that smile.
And I, I used to, I, Icouldn't even stand a Texan, Texas accent. But he,
everybody in Texasaccent I always wanted to punch for some reason, You
know? And he had thisTexas accent, and, and I loved it!And I'd (unintel-
ligible) that things were working so great that I, ha, hereI am, High
Priest of New Earth Temple. I hadn't made my decision yet, but Iknew that
it was eventually coming. Something was comin' anyway. PastorDick Bernal
was sitting next to me and, uh, uh, Larry said, "Do you mind ifI, if I tape
this?" And I looked up and I said "Pastor Dick, what do youthink?" Little
did I know, I'd be calling him "Pastor Dick" and sharing hisoffice with him
at Jubilee! It's incredible, I mean, things happen, right?So Larry says to
me, he says "Eric, can we talk?" We shared about outbackgrounds and he
said "Eric, look." He said, "I can see in your heartthat you're a man
who's truly seeking the truth." And he said "Seek and yeshall find." and
wrote Matthew 7:7 in my Prayer Warrior Bible, which I justrecently gave
away to a man who's a spirit filled Christian who's gone overto the Middle
East, and I said "Look, I know Larry Lea sent 79,000 of thoseover there to
2384
the Middle East. You show them this Prayer Warrior Bible andyou tell them
it's from Eric Pryor a man who went from Pagan to Pentecostand I bear
witness to Larry Lea and his ministry and what a wonderful thinghe's doing.
You go out there and you witness on the field. You just bringthis Bible
with you. Maybe it'll stop a bullet, I don't know." (applausefrom
audience.)So what happened? Uh, he said to me, "Eric, I'm not here to make
a convertout of you. Only the Holy Spirit can convict you." So what I did
was Isaid to him, "Look, all I'm interested in is the truth and if the
truth be abucket of water, I'll drink it." He caught that on camera. The
Lorddocumented all of this, it's amazing! He said "I want an air-tight
witnessso we can really kick Satan where it hurts."So what happened was, I
went to Jubilee. They put me up in a hotel room fora couple of nights and
gave me a chance to rest and the next day I went toJubilee. Now I knew
that alot of other people knew that I was pallingaround with Dick Bernal,
and I knew that they'd know what was up and Iwasn't talking to anybody
because a battle was raging in my heart forweeks. Before Dick Bernal came
back there was a lapse of time. And I wentto Jubilee Christian Center and
I listened to the Pastor speak. And onceagain I felt that feeling. I felt
that love of God. They prayed, theyyelled before the Lord, they sang songs
of praises. I felt it in my heartonce again and I could see it in all
their eyes again and I said "I wantthat."And I could see alot of people
from New Earth Temple and other temples Iwent to in that audience. I was
pretty nervous. I was afraid of abullet. How many of you know "no one who
comes against you shallprosper?" I didn't travel up here with body guards
this time. I do sometimes. And so any rate, they had an altar call. And
he looked at me.He had me right in the front row once again, where all eyes
were upon me,he, he, he. And he had an altar call. And I felt, I felt the
Spirit of theLord call me. He said, "Eric, come to me. I love you. I
LOVE YOU!" Justlike he LOVES each and every one of you. He even loves the
sinner. He justwants that sinner to come to him. So I got up and I
rededicated my life tothe Lord and I repented. And I immediately, I had
no(unintelligible) theBook of Acts, I didn't know about this, but I
immediately in the back roomsaid to the pastor, I said, "NEW EARTH TEMPLE
MUST COME DOWN BY MY HAND!"I couldn't believe I said that, but I knew it.
And we took hundreds ofthousands, I mean the crystal collection alone was
$60,000, other thingswere priceless museum quality pieces, we don't know
how much value theywere, and book contracts and everything and we just went
into New EarthTemple and uh, we videotaped this. We've got this on the
tape. Talk aboutpoltergeist activity and the Exorcist, this was even
worse. I mean PastorBremmer was choked. We thought he was gonna drop on
us.The lights and the camera were on the same circuit. The camera kept
ongoing but the lights kept on going on and off. Part of that footage
theycouldn't use because I didn't have a re-cleaned-up mouth at the time,
so Iwas using some very carnal language. But we tore out the temple and
weburnt it in front of Jubilee Christian Center in front of a several
thousandpeople. And, uh, the day of the burning the Strongman actually
tried tostop it. It started to rain a little. And we're having a hard
time withrain in California. And it started to rain a little and we
thought "Oh,we're not even going to be able to have our bonfire because of
the rain."But it didn't rain. There was just dark clouds over Jubilee.And
we burnt down New Earth Temple and it all went up. And the fire was sohot
and you'll probable see things like this. One box in one of the uh,fire
pits that we couldn't burn. It should go up like that. It's made outof
rosewood. That cheap Indian stuff that should just go whoosh. Itwouldn't
burn because of the contents in it. I mean it was amazing. Thedumpster
melted. The dumpster. The steel dumpster melted. I mean that'show hot
the fire was. So New Earth Temple was no more and I tell you, Ifelt,
whoosh, whoosh, all the stuff coming out of me. I could not believeit. I
2385
was like. Get out of the way! It was just coming out of me. Justsmashing
everything up. And I felt like I didn't even have any weight. Ifelt like
I was air.And after it was all over, all was said and done, and I'd
rededicated mylife to the Lord, and I said, "Lord, I have nothing to offer
you back. Me,that's it, that's all I have. And I'll get rid of New Earth
Temple and Iwill pray and I will obey and I will magnify you and I will
glorify you allmy days and I will try to impart the very love that you have
shown me. I'lltry to love on other people too, Lord. And Lord, if you
give me the chance,I'll go around, ALL AROUND THE WORLD PULLING DOWN
SATAN'S PANTS. I'LL DOIT!"So, as a result of watching Jubilee (unintel-
ligible) a little bit oflunch. As everybody knows these prayer warriors
need to ear. Man does notlive on air alone. He lives on a little bit of
the, you know this pastorcan bear witness to that. Full Gospel. So what
happened was, uh, as wewere driving away, now this is really interesting,
we had that dark blackcloud covering, and Carla and I were sitting in the
back of the car and welooked over our shoulders, over at Jubilee and there
was still dark cloudsexcepting right over Jubilee there was a hole in the
sky and there werebrilliant, brilliant, brilliant sunlight shining on
Jubilee.That year alone Jubilee grew 1,500 members. We're into '91 and
it's growinglike wildfire. And you know why? Because they're worshiping
the Lord with shouts and there is no room for the spirit of religion. It's
not all about "I've been a Christian longer than you, so I know more."
It's all about JESUS CHRIST, THE LIVING SON OF GOD! (APPLAUSE FROM AUD-
IENCE) AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND ALL THE PROPHETS. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT
SITTING ON THOSE PEWS WARMING 'EM. IF I HAD A CHURCH, I'D TAKE THE PEWS
OUT AND MAKE 'EM STAND!IT SAYS YOU SHALL SHOUT BEFORE THE LORD! AND THAT'S
WHAT WE DO! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS GETTING SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT WITH
DIGNITY. WHEN YOU FALL YOU LOOK JUST AS STUPID AS EVERYBODY ELSE. WHETHER
YOU ARE WEARING A $600 SUIT OR A PAIR OF HAND-ME-DOWN JEANS. WHEN YOU'RE
SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT, YOU'RE SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT! WHEN THE LORD WANTS YOU
TO DO DOWN, YOU GO DOWN. YOU PRAY AND YOU OBEY! And you be humble before
the Lord. And I'll tell you what that Holy Spirit is moving through you
and you got the whole armor of God upon you, let me tell you something,
Brothers and Sisters, Dear ones, let me tell you something, you can do a
mighty, mighty work! YOU DON'T MESS WITH NO CHILD OF GOD! (amens, etc.
from audience.) SATAN SEES THAT HOLY SPIRIT AND HE FLEES. DEVIL GET OUT,
AND HE MOVES! HE MOVES BIGTIME cause he knows that the war has been won
through our Lord Jesus Christ.When Jesus Christ died for us, and he saidhow
heavy his heart must have been when he thought "Father, Father, whyhas't
thou forsaken me?" Who in their right mind would not fall to theirknees
and go "oh, oh God, you gave your only begotten son so that I mighthave
life everlasting!" I am the father of two beautiful young boys and Idon't
know if I could bear to see my kids nailed to a tree for people that I
didn't even know, BUT GOD LOVES YOU THAT MUCH! SO TAKE THAT PRECIOUS GIFT
AND RUN WITH IT! THERE ARE PROMISES AND PRIVILEGES FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD
AND YOU TAKE THEM AND YOU RUN WITH THEM!A new church is being birthed here,
people. A CHURCH THAT IS GOING TO HONOR THE LORD GOD AMLIGHTY IN A BIG
WAY! AND IT'LL PRAISE HIM AND(unintelligible). He knows. He knows. You
shall worship the Lord with ashout and be humble before the Lord and know
that it's not you. It's Godworking through you. And that the Lord doesn't
need you, he doesn't needyou! But he calls you and he will allow you to
work for him. My everyneed. I haven't had (unintelligible). I don't hold
a secular job. I comeout here on a wing and a prayer wondering whether or
not I'll be shot. Idon't know. Take the red-eye flight at 4:30 in the
morning I get in here, a couple of hours sleep and I'll do whatever the
Lord wants me to becauseSatan's a LIAR! AND I'M GONNA TELL PEOPLE ABOUT
IT! AND HE AIN'T GONNASTOP ME! Not so long as I have the power and the
authority through JesusChrist and the Holy Spirit running through me no
2386
way. No way. He cannot stop me.And I'll tell you, when I go I want to go
with a shout of praise to theLord. When I go from this world into the
kingdom of heaven I want to be goABBA! And he's gonna go WELL DONE, OH
GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT! AND HE'SGONNA WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY EYES! AND
I'M GONNA SIT ON A THRONE, AND I'MGONNA GET A CROWN! BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, I
AM AN HEIR, I AM A PRINCE becauseof Jesus Christ! (amens, etc. from
audience.) And I've got the mostpowerful weapon in the world. This
(holding up a Bible) could make anuclear device look silly. You can win a
war with this. You can win a warwith this. And I'm tellin' you somethin',
dear ones, we are not on thedefensive as Christians. We are on the
offense. TO TAKE BACK WHAT'SRIGHTFULLY OURS! WE ARE TO GAIN GROUND.
DON'T GIVE SATAN ONE INCH OR HE'LL TAKE A MILE, AND HE'LL TAKE YOU DOWN
WITH HIM! And he will, he will. That brother upstairs blew his brains out
and you should see what was on the kid's walls! Slayer! Van Halen! Drug
paraphernalia! But, Praise God, his father's here tonight! (applause from
audience!)I was at Bible Temple today, the Lord said, "Go out there and
make disciples among men." He didn't say go out there and make converts,
but first you have to be converts. First you have to accept the Lord.
Then you gotta go to a place where you can be discipled and taught the
things of God, like I'm being taught. And I'm so blessed. Thank you
Father! Oh, I thank you Father for what you're doing to my life and what
you're doing in all the saints' lives. Cause I've surely been blessed
because I know some really serious people in the Lord.Well, I know this
brother here and I'm watching a church be birthed and, and I know that I
was here, and and and I was over at Pastor Bryan's church, Bible Temple,
this morning. I'm so blessed. I really felt so blessed. You know, we
went out and we had lunch and my motto is one a day for the Lord at least
to keep my hand in the battle. We were sittin there and the Holy Ghost
said to me, "Eric, that waitress needs the lord." Pastor Bryan, you want
to come up here, Brother. Why don't you tell them what happened? Now this
is the way the Holy, the Holy Spirit works. The Holy Spirit put it on
me.Now we're gonna be casting out oppression. We're gonna be casting
outdemons and we're gonna have an altar call for those of you who areback-
slid. The Lord'll take you back. We're gonna have an altar call forall
you who are oppressed. We're gonna have an altar call for all of youwho
are having children who have problems. We'll lay hands on the parentsand
by impartation you go home and you lay your hands on your kids. Youwatch
over your children. You are stewards of your children. We'll havethat
altar call and be blessed by it.Don't miss that opportunity! Cause, I'll
tell you something, I might walkright out the door and they'll be rapture
and I'll be gone. He, he, he. Ican't wait. I'm having a hard time
dealing with these cars and snow andcold and clothes. But, Pastor Bryan,
here he'll tell you. Tell you how the Lord works. The Lord puts it upon
you real quick Here's Pastor Bryan from Bible Temple. Give this brother a
big hand. (applause from audience.) We're gonna help bring the spirit of
revival BACK TO WJERE IOT BELONGS RIGHT HERE IN DENVER SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE
SATAN (UNINTELLIGIBLE) (APPLAUSE FROM AUDIENCE).Before we have our altar
call, and that is, none of the proceeds of thistape go to me. All I'm
interested in is sowing seed. And I don't want toleave Colorado with a
tape, and I'll tell you why. You see, it's not onlywere they hard to get
here, he, it was only by the grace of God that theygot here, believe me,
but, uh, this is probably going to be one of the mostpowerful tools that
you'll ever have. Has anybody here seen this tapeyet? Can anybody bear
witness to what's on this tape? It's a mighty,mighty tape.I mean this was
God's work. It's not my work, this is not Jubilee's work.This was God's
work. And I don't want to go home back to Jubilee with onetape. I wanna
know that you've got some more ammunition that you can showthe youth. That
you can show other people who are oppressed. Just showthem the power of
God's love, cause that's what I did. I came face to facewith God's love.
And you know something? The Lord turns all evil things to the good. He
did. The secular media documented it as well. One right up your flap,
Satan! And we got it all on tape, the whole thing.And hopefully, the Lord
willing, if I can ever slow down for one second andget some sleep I'm gonna
put the words. I'm penning the scribe right now.The autobiography "From
Pagan to Pentecost" which is meatier and will giveyou a little bit more.
And it'll also have some information in there as tohow you can do certain
things to help your brothers and sisters out who need to know the Lord.
And with that, Dear Ones, I'm gonna hand you over to uh, a man who's who's
fervent and mighty in this Spirit-filled church and this other brother here
who's got a mighty mighty church in the Lord and these two brothers here,
I'm telling you, are gonna be doing some mighty
