Mike Tyson Scaring Everyone Except One Man Who Had The Holy Spirit · Off The Kirb Ministries

• 0:00
  This man here is complaining to this reporter about UFC fighters
• 0:07
  who use his platform to preach Jesus.
• 0:10
  America doesn't want to hear your thoughts on Jesus.
• 0:13
  Keep that stuff at home, Religion, politics, all that
• 0:17
  stuff. When you're out there fighting
• 0:19
  and you're being interviewed, they want to hear about the
• 0:20
  fight. It's awesome that you love
• 0:22
  Jesus, love Jesus all you want. They just don't have to do it
• 0:25
  publicly. So let's see just what it is
• 0:28
  that caused him to snap. Listen.
• 0:31
  What? Happened to you.
• 0:32
  USA what happened to you? What's going on?
• 0:36
  You forget further the badge of the.
• 0:39
  Badge of the war, the language Jesus.
• 0:41
  Cry what happened to you, What God you're?
• 0:45
  Saying However, this wasn't the only time Dana White would
• 0:48
  express his hatred for Christianity, especially after
• 0:52
  other UFC fighters would also say this.
• 0:55
  Yeah. First and foremost, I want to
• 0:57
  thank Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.
• 1:00
  Without help I will be. Nothing.
• 1:01
  I want to thank my. Lord and Saviour.
• 1:02
  Jesus Christ, I just want to give.
• 1:05
  Thanks to Jesus Christ. Seattle Key Arena.
• 1:08
  I can do all things through Christ, who's thanketh me.
• 1:11
  Can I get? A Amen.
• 1:14
  Let me tell you one more thing. This might be the most important
• 1:16
  thing you'll ever hear. There is true freedom of freedom
• 1:20
  that no one can take from you in the name of Jesus Christ, the
• 1:23
  Son of God. Don't ever forget that.
• 1:25
  If you remember one thing I said, remember that.
• 1:28
  You. Said I don't.
• 1:30
  Believe in God, the devil, ghosts, or any of that.
• 1:33
  Exactly. I I, I don't like religion.
• 1:35
  I think religion is dangerous. All religion is dangerous.
• 1:39
  I think it's scary and it's dangerous and I think it's all
• 1:41
  bad and it should probably all go away.
• 1:44
  You can believe in whatever you want to believe in life, in the
• 1:47
  afterlife, but religion is is dangerous.
• 1:50
  Mike Tyson also can't keep Jesus off his lips, except this time
• 1:55
  it's in a disrespectful way. OK, I was hoping to write that
• 1:58
  book. When I get in that book and
• 1:59
  stuff, I mean, just go. Always remember that it's going
• 2:03
  to be a chapter. Jesus reigned supreme.
• 2:06
  Jesus, Oh Jesus, Lord Jesus. Jesus.
• 2:09
  You completely. Had me I.
• 2:10
  Thought. I.
• 2:13
  Thought you were sharing a religious?
• 2:14
  Epiphany. But compare this to the man who
• 2:18
  beat him, Evander Holyfield. So let me tell you, that's one
• 2:23
  of the biggest surprises in boxing.
• 2:25
  I ran well. You know, I I get glory to God
• 2:27
  and for everybody to know that you can't choose against God,
• 2:30
  you can choose against me and the time, but when God involved
• 2:33
  Jesus alive and and he the credit for it and I and I thank
• 2:37
  God and why. Why did you guarantee it was
• 2:39
  such assurance? But because, you know, I would
• 2:41
  think when you when anytime somebody put God up there, my,
• 2:44
  my God's the only true God and, and anything must bow to God.
• 2:48
  Well, you know, apart from that, apart from religion, because God
• 2:52
  is here. I hope for all of us.
• 2:53
  I hope it's, it's it's just God. Let's get off that.
• 2:56
  Let's get on the box. See how did you fight such a
• 2:58
  brilliant fight? Well, you know.
• 2:59
  You know, I'm led by the Spirit of God and like I told
• 3:02
  everybody, whatever the Spirit lead me to do, that's what I
• 3:05
  would do. And it went nothing there so
• 3:07
  much that I did and everybody knew that I would wash up.
• 3:10
  But with God, I'm not washed. Up.
• 3:12
  Did you catch that? The interviewer tried to stop
• 3:15
  him from telling people about Jesus, but nothing would stop
• 3:19
  Evander not even losing parts of his ear forever.
• 3:23
  Watch him flip the whole thing around as an opportunity to
• 3:28
  speak about God well. First of all, I had to get
• 3:33
  praise Lord, and you know Jesus the way you know, I'm still the
• 3:38
  champion, you still get the glory.
• 3:39
  Is that the act of a crazed man? Well.
• 3:41
  You know, the whole thing is that you know, you know, in the
• 3:43
  first one, you know my corner, you know, told being to just
• 3:48
  keep cool. And I, you know, I, I, I thought
• 3:50
  about that, you know, a distraction would happen and I
• 3:53
  and, and this prophecy told me to, you know, just, you don't
• 3:57
  just breathe deep and just concentrate on Jesus.
• 4:00
  When the fight was over, at that time, I had already prayed and
• 4:04
  asked and asked God what this is all about.
• 4:07
  He said forgiven and I was like, forgiven.
• 4:12
  We do need Holyfield a little later on, but right now meet
• 4:16
  another boxer who was changed by Jesus Christ.
• 4:20
  Your personal life was kind of in shambles.
• 4:23
  Why did things get so bad in your opinion?
• 4:26
  That's not that's not God's want for us.
• 4:30
  He want us. He want us to be holy because
• 4:33
  the Lord our God is holy. So we should know the
• 4:35
  commandments. We should know about salvation.
• 4:40
  I'm I'm so thankful to God that he changed my heart.
• 4:43
  He changed my life to be obedient to him and to get to
• 4:46
  make strong in my faith to God. The old money pocket was gone
• 4:51
  and the new has come. How hard is it to avoid going
• 4:56
  back to the old ways? No, it's not.
• 4:59
  It's not. It's not hard.
• 5:01
  I'm happy now my life. The other stuff's fun though,
• 5:04
  which is why you were doing it in the 1st place though, right?
• 5:07
  I mean, it has to be. A little difficult.
• 5:10
  When when I was there on that, on that worldly life, it's fun.
• 5:16
  I I'm I was thinking it's fun but when I changed my life like
• 5:20
  this, more fun and more happy with the Lord.
• 5:25
  In an attempt to get under Pacquiao's skin, his opponent
• 5:28
  Keith Thurman stooped pretty low and mocked Manny's faith until
• 5:33
  this happened. He's saying that I'm he's going
• 5:35
  to simply to retirement and and I believe that only God can give
• 5:39
  will tell me to when I'm going to retire and not a man.
• 5:44
  Thoughts. Well, you know, I believe after
• 5:49
  I hit him and you know, the fight's over, he's going to go
• 5:53
  backstage and God will have that conversation.
• 5:56
  You know, I mean, I know he likes to quote Bible verses.
• 5:59
  He's getting biblical on you. We talk about maybe crossing
• 6:03
  that line. How do you respond to that?
• 6:06
  Well, I give my mark a shot and let him talk.
• 6:09
  Let my fist talk in the ring. Or let his fist do absolutely
• 6:14
  nothing when I dodge everything, you know.
• 6:17
  And if you poke the bear, if you try to motivate the great Manny
• 6:21
  Pacquiao, who's a bear, it's not a bear closer to a dinosaur, you
• 6:25
  know what I mean? He's I already said he's got
• 6:27
  these T Rex arms. Everybody's talking about how
• 6:30
  fast he is made Pacquiao T Rex arms.
• 6:38
  And they're like, whoa, Pacquiao's ready.
• 6:40
  Pacquiao's going to knockout. Thurman.
• 6:42
  You know, he doesn't have to say it.
• 6:44
  The fans say it for him. I mean that.
• 6:47
  That was poetic. I'll give you credit.
• 6:48
  Can you stop this man? Of course.
• 6:52
  He's like this big you. Know.
• 6:55
  He's this. Big my punch.
• 6:56
  Is this big? You feel me, Manny Pacquiao.
• 7:00
  I told you. It's one time he's going to feel
• 7:04
  it from the first round. I'm not AB, not all about
• 7:10
  defense. He's going to have to survive my
• 7:14
  offense. Pacquiao. 15 to 112 in favor of
• 7:24
  the winner. Boxing pride to the.
• 7:28
  Philippines, the ageless wonder. The one and.
• 7:32
  Only many. Pac-Man, Pacquiao.
• 7:38
  Did you know George Foreman, one of the greatest boxers in the
• 7:42
  entire world, is also a Christian?
• 7:45
  Listen to this because I think it might just melt your heart.
• 7:49
  You were on global sports and one of the questions that that
• 7:54
  was asked was, and I was sitting at home watching this, you know,
• 7:58
  on the late sports and the question was asked a very good
• 8:02
  question. You wouldn't you like to get
• 8:04
  back in the ring with Muhammad Ali again?
• 8:07
  And your answer was, I'd like to get in church with him.
• 8:12
  That's the truth. Let me tell you.
• 8:18
  Jesus is alive. I started screaming.
• 8:20
  Jesus Christ is coming alive. And I walked out of that room
• 8:23
  and I jumped up off the table and hit, hit in the cold shower.
• 8:27
  I had to fight eight men to get into a cold shower because
• 8:29
  that's the last thing you want an athlete to do after a fight
• 8:33
  was get into a cold shower and there was no hot water.
• 8:35
  I start screaming words like Hallelujah, I've been born
• 8:37
  again. Really.
• 8:40
  And so in the dressing room. So I was wondering about it.
• 8:45
  But now I'm not wondering. I know and I thank God because
• 8:48
  there's a lot of people who think for sure and maybe and
• 8:50
  maybe not, but I know God, I don't know, for some reason
• 8:53
  touched me or old Sinner, there's an unclean man out in
• 8:56
  the world just doing everything and showed me that there's a
• 8:59
  living God. Since then I've been telling
• 9:01
  everybody, I don't care where you come from, what are you
• 9:03
  doing? Stop it and learn about God.
• 9:06
  And the Bible is here. It's been here for thousands and
• 9:09
  thousands of years, thousands of years.
• 9:11
  Why God did this for me, I don't know, but I just praise him
• 9:14
  every day. I dropped everything I was doing
• 9:16
  to tell the whole world that Jesus Christ is alive.
• 9:19
  God took me all over the country, fighting in Africa,
• 9:22
  Puerto Rico, Europe, everywhere, and I was just trying to exalt
• 9:27
  George Foreman. Now I'm going all over trying to
• 9:29
  tell him about Jesus. Later in the video I want to
• 9:32
  show you a clip of George Foreman that quite literally
• 9:35
  gave me goosebumps. But first I want to talk about
• 9:39
  Evander Holyfield again. On the 28th of June 1997, when
• 9:44
  Mike Tyson did that unspeakable thing to Evander Holyfield's
• 9:48
  ear, it kind of made me think of someone else in the Bible who
• 9:51
  lost their ear, a man called Malkus.
• 9:54
  Malkus was one of the High Priest servants and when Judas
• 9:58
  LED that evil group of men to come and take Jesus Christ away,
• 10:01
  Peter, one of Jesus friends pulled out his sword and did
• 10:07
  away with Malchus's ear. This is how Jesus reacted to the
• 10:12
  entire situation. The Bible says put your sword
• 10:16
  back in its place. Jesus said to them, for all who
• 10:19
  draw the sword will die by the sword.
• 10:22
  Do you not think that I cannot call on my Father and he will at
• 10:26
  once put at my disposal more than 12 legions of angels?
• 10:31
  May I go deeper? The man who taught me how to St.
• 10:34
  preach is a man called Vinny Commons.
• 10:37
  And the man who taught Vinny how to preach on the streets is a
• 10:40
  man called Lance Pidworth. And Lance Pidworth once said
• 10:43
  about this passage about Peter. What Peter did that night in the
• 10:47
  Garden of Gethsemane is this. In that moment, Peter took away
• 10:52
  his listeners ear so he couldn't hear the message.
• 10:55
  And friends, when we think of these boxers and these UFC
• 10:59
  fighters, how they're sharing their faith, we also should be
• 11:02
  encouraged that we need to share our faith.
• 11:04
  And yet we don't want to do something.
• 11:06
  We don't want to do anything that would close our listeners
• 11:10
  ears to the gospel. For instance, maybe in your
• 11:13
  place of work you are the most negative person and your work
• 11:17
  colleagues think, well, if this is the Jesus you worship, you
• 11:20
  can keep him. Maybe you live an inconsistent
• 11:24
  lifestyle to the commands of Jesus Christ and the unbelievers
• 11:27
  around you say, I thought you were supposed to be a Christian.
• 11:30
  Maybe you're just unapproachable and you distance yourself from
• 11:34
  others and people might think that you think that you're
• 11:38
  better than them because you make so little effort to show
• 11:42
  them that you really care. Whatever it is, don't hinder the
• 11:46
  message that saves souls. And what is this message?
• 11:50
  It's the message of the cross that though we are sinners,
• 11:53
  though we have failed God, though we have broken God's
• 11:57
  laws, and we have made a total mess, Jesus Christ, God's Son,
• 12:01
  died on a cross so that we could be forgiven.
• 12:03
  Do you remember how Evander Holyfield said that he was a
• 12:06
  washout and that everybody thought he was washed out and he
• 12:09
  was nothing? But Jesus Christ said, no,
• 12:12
  you're not nothing. You're not a washout.
• 12:14
  I can do something with you. Well, there is another kind of
• 12:17
  washing that the Lord Jesus can do for all of us, and that is
• 12:20
  the washing away of our sins with his very blood.
• 12:24
  Though we've gone our own way, though we are sinners, though we
• 12:28
  might be washed up and we have no hope because we see our past
• 12:32
  is always behind us, there is someone who is willing to save
• 12:36
  us. We cannot save ourselves, but
• 12:38
  Jesus Christ on the cross died in our place because he loved us
• 12:41
  so deeply. He cared about us so deeply that
• 12:45
  his blood can wash us clean and give us a second chance.
• 12:47
  And not just a second chance, but a third chance, a fourth
• 12:51
  chance, a fifth chance. As many times as we turn to the
• 12:54
  Lord God with a broken contrite heart and say, Lord have mercy
• 12:58
  on me, he'll never cast us out. He'll always give us another
• 13:02
  opportunity. But there is a second part to
• 13:04
  this message which is just as vital as the 1st, and it's this.
• 13:08
  Jesus Christ rose from the dead and because he is risen, our
• 13:12
  Saviour is alive and we have hope in him.
• 13:15
  We do not need to fear death, just like George Foreman said he
• 13:18
  used to fear death when he put his trust in Jesus.
• 13:21
  When he realized that Jesus Christ was alive and risen, he
• 13:24
  knew that he didn't need to fear it anymore because there is one
• 13:28
  who conquered the grave. And my dear friend, he can
• 13:30
  conquer your grave too, if you put your trust in Him and ask
• 13:33
  him to wash away all of your sins.
• 13:35
  And if you are saved, make sure you go out and preach this
• 13:38
  message. The lost world.
• 13:40
  OK, it's time to go back to George Foreman now.
• 13:43
  Why? Because he's about to say a
• 13:45
  prayer. And if you are not a believer in
• 13:47
  Christ, you might just want to listen to this prayer I.
• 13:51
  I'm going to hold this microphone and I'm going to ask
• 13:54
  you if you would just pray with the people and, and, and
• 13:57
  challenge men and women and teenagers and boys and girls to
• 14:01
  join you. Let's get on our knees.
• 14:03
  Right here. Let's just do that.
• 14:06
  Amen. Oh Lord, God of heaven, in the
• 14:10
  name of Jesus Christ, Lord, you give these souls or listen to
• 14:14
  me. Enough courage, Lord, enough
• 14:16
  energy just to fall down. God, go into a closet if you
• 14:19
  embarrassed God, don't care where you are, and shout the
• 14:23
  name of Jesus Christ. Ask God to show you something.
• 14:26
  God is no mystery, He's alive. He'll come right into your life.
• 14:29
  In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, I ask that you move on
• 14:32
  every family who have enough nerve to humble them to know
• 14:35
  that there's one Lord, 1 faith and one baptism, and that Jesus
• 14:40
  Christ is indeed alive and the Son of the living God.
• 14:43
  In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, I ask you to move on these
• 14:46
  souls. Lord, thank you.
• 14:47
  Jesus glory, Lord, Amen. By the way, if you are still
• 14:51
  watching, there's three more things I want to say.
• 14:53
  The first thing is why not write in the comments?
• 14:56
  Hi Joe, I'm still listening. It always encourages me to see
• 14:59
  people watching right to the very end.
• 15:01
  Second thing, please do subscribe if you haven't
• 15:03
  already. And the third thing is, if you
• 15:05
  are a boxing fan, you might just find this video right here
• 15:09
  interesting too.
