  Hello folks, this is Princess. You are.
• 0:03
  Listening to the Millennial Mustard Seed podcast.
• 0:06
  Thanks for listening. Don't forget.
• 0:08
  To share with your friends. That's tough.
• 0:11
  We're in a very tough spot. I think that what we're doing
• 0:15
  right now is a great benefit and virtue because it's an end
• 0:19
  around between this whole corrupt informational system,
• 0:23
  media system. We claim to believe in a God
• 0:26
  who. Spoke the universe into
• 0:28
  existence. And literally raised himself
• 0:30
  from the dead. And yet we're not.
• 0:33
  Going to believe that anything else exists in the spirit realm,
• 0:37
  even though his word tells us that.
• 0:38
  They do. Their bodies weren't permitted
• 0:41
  to go to sleep like humans do, and they weren't permitted to go
• 0:45
  to heaven. So they wander the earth.
• 0:49
  You know, I've seen the eyes. Turn black to unknown tongues
• 0:52
  being spoken. These giants would.
• 0:56
  Love way up in the. Highland.
• 0:57
  The young Braves the young. Men would hide them in the trees
• 1:00
  and wait for one of these 12 footers to come walking down the
• 1:03
  path and they would jump on them and kill them, drag them back to
• 1:07
  the village and the village would feast on the body freedom.
• 1:15
  Then people start to get weapons, they start to get
• 1:17
  armor, they start to build cities, they start to fortify
• 1:19
  their cities. Now God looks down and there's
• 1:22
  violence everywhere. The battle, this war that we are
• 1:26
  at, is not against each other. It's against these
• 1:29
  principalities and these rulers and these archons.
• 1:31
  In the high places, it's really worthwhile to read the Bible
• 1:34
  yourself. Fear.
• 1:36
  Is one of the primary drivers of mind.
• 1:38
  Control, because we have to take every thought captive and resist
• 1:43
  fear. You're going to have a testimony
• 1:49
  that is a justice case. Against the Kingdom of darkness.
• 2:15
  Welcome back to the MMSI am Rod, one of your hosts, producer and
• 2:20
  creator of The Millennial Mustard Seed, and I got a mini
• 2:24
  episode for you that is close to my heart.
• 2:27
  It is starring brother Eric Allen and me and him have a good
• 2:31
  old fashioned conversation. There's some supernatural stuff.
• 2:35
  We talk about biblical masculinity.
• 2:38
  We talk a little bit about the God and guns events that
• 2:41
  happened recently. And some of the core topics
• 2:44
  covered also consist of the Spiritual Declaration of
• 2:47
  Independence for Pennsylvania, which was episode 180, The Sword
• 2:53
  of the Spirit, literally Eric has a Damascus steel blade
• 2:57
  inscribed with Luke 2236 and Matthew 1034.
• 3:03
  And we we've had some supernatural encounters using
• 3:08
  this blade in different states. Me and Erica found ourselves in
• 3:12
  a boxing gym in Ohio last year in the state capital here in
• 3:17
  Pennsylvania in Harrisburg, in this blade that Eric had made of
• 3:22
  like 144 layers of Damascus, Damascus steel.
• 3:26
  He carries it with him everywhere he goes.
• 3:28
  It's a samurai sword. It's the greatest thing.
• 3:30
  But there's really interesting things that happen regarding
• 3:33
  this blade. Me and Eric also get into signs
• 3:37
  in the clouds. He had a interesting encounter
• 3:41
  with heart-shaped clouds that had arrows through the heart.
• 3:45
  And I'll leave the rest for Eric to describe, but here's a couple
• 3:50
  key quotes. I say no man left behind.
• 3:54
  That's how we train our bodies and our spirits for the battle
• 3:57
  ahead. Eric says you don't need to be
• 4:00
  convinced of the supernatural when you're living it.
• 4:03
  The spirit realm is more real than this one.
• 4:07
  And yeah, you guys, it's it's just a fun micro episode, 3035
• 4:13
  minutes long in total. And I hope you guys enjoy it.

  Are you guys ready? Let's go, let's go.
• 5:33
  Hi, this is Eric Allen. Welcome to the millennial
• 5:36
  Mustard Seed. Here we are.
• 5:41
  This is not your first time on air, but this is kind of a micro
• 5:46
  episode where we're going to do something fun, man.
• 5:48
  It's it's an honour to have you here with me.
• 5:50
  It's an honour to be here, Rodney.
• 5:53
  Yeah, So you were for the audience sake, you were on the
• 5:56
  Round Table episode that we did, I want to say like maybe maybe
• 5:59
  60 episodes ago now on the podcast, I think I called it
• 6:03
  Philadelphia's the Ephod and Brotherly Love or something like
• 6:07
  that. And it was where a bunch of us
• 6:09
  from the core group and the men of Iron, you know, WhatsApp chat
• 6:14
  that we have that's that typically consists of a Thursday
• 6:17
  night prayer call. A bunch of us got on there and
• 6:19
  did did a really fun roundtable episode so that some of the
• 6:22
  audience may remember you from that.
• 6:24
  But I just want you to kind of tell people who you are, you
• 6:28
  know where you're coming from. And then you can talk about how
• 6:31
  me and you met the fact that we actually rock together.
• 6:34
  We meet up in person, we pray, we right, we shoot guns
• 6:37
  together, we do push ups together, stuff like that.
• 6:40
  And then I think it would be cool if we just shot some
• 6:42
  questions at each other to kind of keep it simple on this
• 6:45
  introduction of. Course.
• 6:47
  So my name is Eric Allen. I'm from Northeast Pennsylvania,
• 6:51
  Berwick, PA to be specific on what town I live in.
• 6:55
  I met Rodney through Klaus Chavez some years ago.
• 7:02
  There was a church starting at my dad's house.
• 7:06
  I seen Rodney on a post that Klaus had posted and I wanted to
• 7:13
  say something to him on that post but God had said don't say
• 7:17
  anything to him on the Internet. You'll see him at your dad's
• 7:21
  house. At that point, I just put my
• 7:23
  hands up in there and I said, have it your way, God.
• 7:27
  And there he was a couple days later at my dad's house.
• 7:31
  Over the years, it's been about two years now, I think maybe a
• 7:35
  little bit more, give or take. We're we're at like the 2 1/2
• 7:37
  year marker. Yeah.
• 7:39
  So over the years we've, we've had plenty of time to pray
• 7:42
  together and walk together in the Lord.
• 7:45
  We've been to many different events together.
• 7:47
  We've had a a fantastic friendship, I could say, and
• 7:53
  it's it's an honor to be here hanging out with you bro.
• 7:57
  Yeah, I really appreciate that there.
• 7:58
  There's a lot of like prophetic overtone between me and you and
• 8:03
  just interesting the way things have unfolded.
• 8:05
  So like the audience is aware of, I believe it was episode
• 8:08
  180, which is called the Spiritual Declaration of
• 8:11
  Independence for the state of Pennsylvania.
• 8:13
  You know, let's talk even a little bit about how the first
• 8:17
  time that ever was read was last year.
• 8:21
  Me, you and Nick were in Ohio at the boxing gym out there in
• 8:25
  Youngstown. I'll let you tell the story.
• 8:28
  But ultimately that document was was being produced.
• 8:32
  It started with me. I started working that thing out
• 8:35
  for about four months and then I got to the point where I was
• 8:38
  presenting it to you guys as a group going.
• 8:40
  Is there any other categories that you feel are applicable for
• 8:44
  this deck, the Spiritual Declaration of Independence?
• 8:47
  And so you guys kind of all as a group built into that and added
• 8:52
  like, Hey, what about this, you know, and then by the time it
• 8:55
  was almost in final phase, I had that document with me everywhere
• 8:59
  I went. I went to New York, I went to
• 9:01
  Jersey, I went anywhere I went Ohio.
• 9:04
  That thing was in my car for months.
• 9:06
  And I Remember Me, you and Nick, holistic Nick, or in my little
• 9:11
  turbo sports car flying along these, these these highways in
• 9:15
  Ohio. And I'm like, Nick, pull that
• 9:17
  thing out. And God had us declare that for
• 9:20
  the first time outside of the borders of Pennsylvania.
• 9:24
  And just any other thoughts that ensue.
• 9:26
  The literally when we read that document for the first time, it
• 9:30
  was like what, 1020 miles outside of Pennsylvania in Ohio?
• 9:35
  It's not that far. I guess you could say we were
• 9:38
  maybe sealing Pennsylvania. I would definitely say that
• 9:43
  that's probably what we were doing at that point.
• 9:46
  And I remember that event pretty vividly because some pretty
• 9:50
  crazy stuff happened if you recall.
• 9:54
  So like how don't my timelines not really that great, whether
• 9:58
  it was before or after, but when we went to that church in Ohio,
• 10:03
  I remember I had my sword with me.
• 10:06
  I'm not going to get into the details.
• 10:08
  The church that I turned around in and you jumped out of my car
• 10:11
  and started running around the church with your samurai.
• 10:14
  Or the. Boxing Gym Church.
• 10:16
  Well, I wasn't talking about the first one.
• 10:18
  I'm talking about the boxing gym bro.
• 10:21
  I'm. Leaving this in there, by the
• 10:22
  way, because that really happened.
• 10:23
  Yes, it did really happen. I I obey the voice of the Lord
• 10:27
  when he tells me to do things, no matter how crazy it is, as
• 10:31
  long as it's not got any kind of dire consequence.
• 10:34
  I know it's from the Lord. So I was talking specifically
• 10:38
  when we was at Brother Rocky's gym, when I took that sword back
• 10:44
  to the backroom with the pastors right before we were getting
• 10:47
  ready to, you know, start the event.
• 10:50
  We're back there all praying in the Spirit, getting in touch
• 10:52
  with God, calling his presence in.
• 10:54
  Bro, something happened back in that room a few months
• 11:00
  beforehand. I had Pastor Israel Pakhtar pray
• 11:05
  over that sword in Hebrew. And, you know, not getting too
• 11:09
  much into the details of the sword, but it's got some
• 11:11
  scripture written on the blade. And I asked him to pray a
• 11:15
  blessing over that sword. So this was the next event that
• 11:18
  this sword was at. And everybody passed around,
• 11:21
  looked at it and, you know, we're all praying in the spirit
• 11:24
  back there. Man.
• 11:24
  I felt a presence so powerful hit that room.
• 11:28
  It almost knocked me out, bro. It buckled my knees a little
• 11:32
  bit. And I just kept pressing in,
• 11:33
  pressing in. And it it hit twice.
• 11:37
  And then I remember when we left that room, I felt so light.
• 11:42
  I don't really know how to explain it, but when I came out
• 11:47
  from back there, I remember going and asking Nick if there
• 11:50
  was a shift. He's like, as soon as you guys
• 11:52
  came out from back there, soon as you guys came out from the
• 11:55
  backroom, praying there was a shift in the atmosphere, I was
• 11:58
  like, yeah, something happened back there.
• 12:01
  Yeah. That was a that was pretty
• 12:03
  powerful. I haven't experienced anything
• 12:05
  quite like that before. Yeah, that, I mean, that whole
• 12:10
  entire event and, and at the boxing gym out there at Rocky de
• 12:13
  Frank's place was, was quite significant.
• 12:17
  You know, I know my daughter brought in a bunch of friends
• 12:19
  and a bunch of people like we just, we packed this, this
• 12:22
  boxing gym out, right? And, and it's a church at the
• 12:25
  same time. It's funny because you got the
• 12:27
  boxing gym inside. This is all, it's all one, one
• 12:33
  place, right? There's not even a separation.
• 12:35
  And I remember thinking like, man, this is this is a place for
• 12:38
  fighters, you know what I mean? This and that's multi layered.
• 12:43
  The shift that took place out there was interesting for me
• 12:46
  also. Now I got to spend time with you
• 12:48
  and Nick, a good amount of time with you and Nick on the road in
• 12:52
  the public's eye, whatever you want to call it, doing ministry
• 12:56
  stuff, but then also privately and that, that knife, you know,
• 13:01
  this takes me back, man. Let me back up a little bit.
• 13:03
  I'm going to I'm going to change events completely.
• 13:06
  Let's go back to the sound that that we were a part of in the
• 13:11
  state capital here in Harrisburg.
• 13:13
  So the event was called the Sound.
• 13:16
  And I think that's the first time I held the Damascus Blade,
• 13:21
  the the sword that that we keep referencing, right?
• 13:24
  Yes. And it's.
• 13:24
  Called the Demon Slayer and it was literally, literally
• 13:28
  completed on Resurrection Sunday.
• 13:31
  Yeah, and it's, it's whatever, like, you know, hundreds of
• 13:33
  layers of Damascus steel, Like it's, it's a real Samer. 44
• 13:37
  layers. 144 layers, yeah. And so I remember when we're at
• 13:41
  the Sound and it's like we're, we're two blocks out, like off
• 13:45
  of the capital where the memorial is and everything in,
• 13:48
  in downtown Harrisburg. And you handed it to me and we
• 13:52
  were looking at some of the gargoyles and statues and some
• 13:54
  of the stuff around, right. There's a city buildings around
• 13:56
  us and me, you and Nick are in a parking lot.
• 13:59
  It's me, you and Nick. It's every time it's me, you and
• 14:01
  Nick together. It's crazy stuff happens.
• 14:02
  How about that holistic Nick shout out to him.
• 14:06
  And you handed me that sword and you're telling me about it.
• 14:10
  And and I just lifted it up and pointed it like like to the sky.
• 14:15
  Like I was like, bro, I'm lifting this thing up to the
• 14:18
  height. So I was like, you know, and I
• 14:20
  look and what was on the statue of of the Capitol building.
• 14:25
  Wasn't there like some kind of what?
• 14:27
  What was that? I don't remember, but I remember
• 14:29
  pulling, pulling the supernatural bow and arrow back
• 14:34
  and I was like. Yeah, well, maybe maybe I won't
• 14:39
  describe it. I'll have people look that up
• 14:40
  for themselves. But we had an encounter multiple
• 14:43
  times in in different states with this blade.
• 14:47
  So there's something going on there.
• 14:49
  But but that's the first time I seen it was in at the sound
• 14:52
  event, which was like a three day event in in Harrisburg.
• 14:56
  And then, you know, we have the Ohio thing pop up, right?
• 14:59
  And, and we're out there for a couple days and I think just
• 15:04
  like you, you can see the hat I'm wearing, the rise of God,
• 15:06
  right? And so, you know, we have this,
• 15:10
  this established and shout out to David Hefner TV.
• 15:14
  For those of you who know who David is, if you don't, David
• 15:17
  was in Hollywood for like a long time, you know, did 50 films and
• 15:21
  and now he has a Christian ministry and he he's got ATV
• 15:28
  show called the last evangelist. It's like a sci-fi murder
• 15:31
  mystery that's Christian based. It's a cool show, but he was
• 15:36
  just talking about on his program.
• 15:38
  He had me on there, I don't know, a couple weeks ago and he,
• 15:42
  he got one of the rods of God for us and it starred in that TV
• 15:45
  show the last Evangelist. And he was bringing up all the
• 15:49
  scriptures about the significance of like the
• 15:52
  symbolism and, and what God says, right?
• 15:55
  Like Jesus, for example, he knows exactly how many swords or
• 16:00
  how many of his disciples are packing, right?
• 16:02
  Like today, we carry different things.
• 16:03
  I'm not going to, I'm not going to say what, but you guys get
• 16:06
  the point, right? But Jesus was aware of how many
• 16:08
  of his guys had weapons. There was an equation there.
• 16:11
  He was like, OK, that's enough. You can go read that for
• 16:13
  yourself listeners, right? And so the idea of having a rod
• 16:17
  or a sword, it's beyond just the symbolism.
• 16:21
  It the IT the interconnectivity is actually more important
• 16:25
  because in the Western mindset, we we we like to simplify things
• 16:31
  and desupernaturalize everything.
• 16:33
  But the Bible doesn't do that. The Bible states very specific
• 16:37
  things. You know, a rod, think about a
• 16:38
  rod or a walking stick, a staff, right?
• 16:42
  God is using it for very specific reasons and he's
• 16:46
  anointing certain ones and and disqualifying others.
• 16:50
  And it's like, so even when you look at swords, right?
• 16:53
  And Luke, doesn't it say that if you have two cloaks and no
• 16:55
  sword? That verse is actually inscribed
• 16:59
  on the blade. It's Luke 2236 if I recall
• 17:03
  correctly. Yes.
• 17:05
  Do you want to read that for us? It is then he then said, He unto
• 17:10
  them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and
• 17:15
  likewise his script. And he that has no sword, let
• 17:19
  him sell his garment and buy one that is inscribed into the
• 17:24
  bloodline on one side of the sword.
• 17:28
  Interesting. And on the other side is
• 17:32
  Matthew. Oh my goodness, I can't
• 17:35
  remember. I got the sword right here.
• 17:38
  Matthew 1034. And that one says, think not
• 17:42
  that I am come to send peace on earth.
• 17:45
  I come not to send peace, but a sword.
• 17:49
  When he cracks the sky like a supernova at his perfect timing,
• 17:54
  he's going to have a a double edged blade in his mouth.
• 17:58
  I don't know, man, you know, I, I love all of God's word.
• 18:01
  I'm not exclusive to just the the gentle dove version versus,
• 18:05
  you know, the lion of the tribe of Judah.
• 18:07
  I, I believe in all of it. I don't need convinced of any of
• 18:10
  it, man. I just believe in the full
• 18:11
  counsel of God's word. And I think there's something
• 18:14
  being birthed, Eric, in masculinity, if I can say it.
• 18:18
  We're being re identified with biblical masculinity, not toxic
• 18:22
  masculinity, not macho man nonsense.
• 18:25
  I'm talking about what the Bible says and what God designed men
• 18:29
  to be. I think we're failing forward in
• 18:32
  that process. You know I want to shift just a
• 18:35
  little bit and talk about the God and guns recently, right?
• 18:39
  That PT. That Brother Nick had us doing,
• 18:43
  man, that was that was fairly intense for someone that's not
• 18:47
  in shape. And So what, 52 cards?
• 18:50
  Yeah, the 52 cards. Explain that like the listeners
• 18:54
  don't don't get it me and you know what happened because we're
• 18:57
  we're still sore. So the 52 cards thing, it was
• 19:01
  one different exercise for each suit.
• 19:05
  So there was exercise for clubs, hearts, diamonds and states.
• 19:12
  One was push ups, jumping jacks, lunges and what was the other
• 19:18
  one? Squats.
• 19:20
  Squats. Yeah.
• 19:22
  And then there was 2 jokers and one was a a plank, one minute
• 19:25
  plank and another one was a one minute wall sit.
• 19:28
  Not, not squats, sit ups and lunges.
• 19:31
  Yeah, but we did the planks and then we did the You put your
• 19:35
  back up against the trailer and you sit with your knees bent.
• 19:38
  You got to do that for 60 seconds.
• 19:39
  That was a Joker, too, right? Yeah, And this, this almost
• 19:43
  broke. It almost broke every single man
• 19:45
  in the group, which was the idea of like, that we push it to the
• 19:50
  limit in life, right? Like, we're trying to survive
• 19:53
  the Wiles of the attacks of the enemy.
• 19:55
  We're trying to survive a dying world, a dying monetary culture.
• 19:59
  You know, we are literally standing up against giant
• 20:02
  systems of all different types and kinds that say you can't
• 20:04
  come here, you're not qualified, you don't make a difference,
• 20:07
  right? But we're believing by faith and
• 20:09
  literally inculcating. Parts of this world and making a
• 20:13
  difference and this this meet up.
• 20:15
  We we looked at each other and it's like we need to test each
• 20:18
  other. Like I want to see what you're
• 20:19
  made of. And there was some breaking
• 20:22
  points. Do you want to talk about that?
• 20:24
  Yeah, man, it was, it was pretty intense, man.
• 20:26
  We was carrying each other through for sure, man.
• 20:29
  There's quite a few guys there and I think just about
• 20:33
  everybody. I think there was only two
• 20:35
  people that didn't really cave, but they're really good shape.
• 20:39
  They like Nick. Nick was one of them.
• 20:42
  And I don't think Aaron really struggled too much either, as
• 20:44
  far as I could tell. But everybody else that was
• 20:47
  there, we had to carry each other.
• 20:50
  Man, no man left behind. It took us over an hour.
• 20:53
  I fell over. I was getting ready to puke like
• 20:56
  I I was fighting tooth and nail through that personally, it it
• 20:59
  broke a part of me in a good way.
• 21:01
  And if I couldn't complete it, Aaron would be like, Yo, I'll
• 21:05
  pick up those three sit ups that rock into I'll pick up those 18,
• 21:09
  you know, lunges that he can't do.
• 21:11
  And we worked as a body as a team.
• 21:14
  So one person failed, another person would step in and and
• 21:17
  help them complete it. But the whole thing was no man
• 21:19
  left behind, right? Yeah, it was a great time, man.
• 21:23
  It was, and then we shot some some wild guns.
• 21:25
  We won't talk details, but yeah. Yeah, it was a great time man.
• 21:29
  I look forward to doing it again.
• 21:31
  Yeah, well, this was our second annual.
• 21:33
  I think next year is going to be a bigger event.
• 21:36
  And, you know, I was talking with Klaus and we might try to
• 21:39
  do it twice a year. I mean, guys are driving, you
• 21:43
  know, 8 and 10 hours to come be a part of stuff like that.
• 21:45
  Like we got people coming from all over the place because not
• 21:50
  not to go too far down a rabbit trail, but biblical masculinity
• 21:52
  is something that we have to experience.
• 21:54
  We can't just read about the words.
• 21:57
  You can't just read the words and nod your head and be like,
• 21:59
  oh, that's cool. I like that lofty idea.
• 22:02
  Like we do have to live it and walk it out right there.
• 22:05
  It takes some commitment. It takes some embarrassment.
• 22:07
  It takes some struggling and striving vulnerability.
• 22:11
  Like you like learning what your limit is, right?
• 22:14
  Yep, yeah, you're definitely right on that.
• 22:16
  You got to press the limits, man, and find out where your
• 22:19
  breaking point is. Then you got to strengthen
• 22:22
  yourself and go past that breaking point.
• 22:25
  We started this out, you know, talking a little bit about how
• 22:28
  we met and, and we're going to reserve a time slot for, you
• 22:32
  know, a really long format interview slash conversation so
• 22:35
  that you can talk about because you've been through all types of
• 22:37
  wild stuff, man. Like if you talked about some of
• 22:41
  your spiritual encounters and and crazy stuff that you've seen
• 22:45
  and dealt with over the course of your life, man, it would
• 22:47
  literally, it would probably blow people away.
• 22:49
  And there's other podcasts that designate that.
• 22:51
  That is their podcast, right? Like Tony Marco at the
• 22:54
  confessional. Shout out to him.
• 22:56
  His show is based upon people coming on and talking about
• 22:59
  their experiences. Some of the stuff that you talk
• 23:01
  about probably belongs on a show like that.
• 23:04
  But everything that that you've experienced, even in this new
• 23:08
  season that we're in right now, you want to bring up one or two
• 23:11
  things of significance. I recommend it to you to start
• 23:14
  writing these things down. I'm like Eric, you need to get a
• 23:17
  journal and you need to write this stuff down.
• 23:20
  Is let the Lord lead this. It doesn't have to be your
• 23:23
  creepiest experience or something.
• 23:25
  I'm just saying, is there something that you want to share
• 23:28
  that you feel like is going to benefit somebody out there
• 23:29
  listening so that they don't feel alone, they don't feel
• 23:32
  crazy, Maybe it's a confirmation that they need to hear.
• 23:37
  One time that's sticking out, when I was like 14 years old, I
• 23:42
  was like really not sold out to God.
• 23:45
  I had been baptized and I kind of walked away from God for many
• 23:50
  years. But during that time I had, you
• 23:56
  know, went into the ways of the world and there's this place out
• 24:00
  here where where I live at called the Triangle.
• 24:03
  And the stories behind that place is there was like rituals
• 24:09
  and witchcraft stuff done in that patch of woods.
• 24:12
  And if you park at one end, you can see all the way down through
• 24:17
  the trail at the other end. And at night time, if you look
• 24:20
  down there, the backside, you could see the light on the other
• 24:25
  side. The backside would go totally
• 24:27
  black and you couldn't see nothing at the other end.
• 24:31
  So it's, it's a really dark, dark place.
• 24:35
  So I remember when I was 14, somebody took me there.
• 24:40
  And this was before there was a ditch dug in the road.
• 24:43
  You could back a vehicle down in there and they're like, you'll
• 24:46
  hop out the back, walk down that trail.
• 24:49
  It's like dusk. And I'm like, are you guys
• 24:53
  scared of the woods, man? You don't know nothing about the
• 24:55
  woods. Like I grew up in the woods.
• 24:57
  I ain't scared of no woods. So I start walking down this
• 25:00
  trail and I'm not why they want me to walk down here.
• 25:04
  So I get like maybe 30-40 yards from the back of the pickup
• 25:07
  truck and I see this large black shadow dart across the road.
• 25:15
  And I like kind of started walking a little bit slower.
• 25:18
  And I'm like in my mind, like what was that?
• 25:21
  I ain't never seen nothing like that.
• 25:23
  And I'm walking a little bit further, but I'm actually
• 25:24
  walking slower at this point because I didn't, it's kind of
• 25:27
  taken back by that. So I walked maybe like 10-15
• 25:31
  more steps and it's closer to me and it goes back the other way.
• 25:36
  So it went from the left to the right and then the second time
• 25:39
  went from the right to the left closer to me.
• 25:41
  I seen that man that that that startled me to the point where I
• 25:45
  was like, Nah, I'm out of here. I turned around and I booked it
• 25:48
  back. They already were in the truck,
• 25:50
  had it running and everything. I ran and I jumped into the back
• 25:53
  of the truck and I'm like, let's get out of here.
• 25:56
  Like, and that was like, I think I would say my first
• 26:01
  supernatural encounter was something It's crazy.
• 26:06
  Can, can you describe what the shadow looked like?
• 26:10
  Was it like I've heard people talk about the Slender Man?
• 26:13
  If you know what that is, right? Whatever people talk about blobs
• 26:16
  or like black orbs or you know, plasma balls.
• 26:20
  I mean help help me. I would understand.
• 26:23
  What it looked like. I would say large in the size,
• 26:27
  like people say about Bigfoot, but this assuredly was not no
• 26:32
  Bigfoot. This was a giant shadow entity,
• 26:35
  if you will. You could tell.
• 26:37
  You could feel its evil presence.
• 26:39
  You knew that the thing was no good.
• 26:43
  You could sense it. And, and was it like upright or
• 26:49
  or? Yeah, it was.
• 26:50
  All four. It was upright.
• 26:53
  It was big. It had to been at least 10 feet
• 26:55
  tall. It was not anything small, bro.
• 26:58
  It was. It was big.
• 27:01
  Did you see eyes? No, no, I I believe that it just
• 27:05
  wanted me to know that it's presence was there.
• 27:08
  OK, you have a thing with the clouds.
• 27:13
  Yes, I do. So.
• 27:14
  I wouldn't say it's me so much having a thing with the clouds,
• 27:17
  but more God communicating visually through the clouds to
• 27:22
  me. Yeah, it's, it's fascinating.
• 27:24
  I designated a whole episode on in collaboration on the Days of
• 27:28
  Noah podcast talking about clouds.
• 27:31
  And even Pete told me after that, he's like, bro, I've never
• 27:33
  thought about the clouds as being supernatural or, or of
• 27:36
  importance. Listen, the clouds are so
• 27:39
  important that if you go look it up like 208 times, the clouds
• 27:43
  are mentioned. And what God says about him,
• 27:45
  it's a hiding place. His throne is in the clouds.
• 27:49
  He comes on the clouds, right? He or he recedes up into the
• 27:52
  clouds. He's coming back on the clouds
• 27:55
  at his return. I looked into the Greek pantheon
• 27:59
  and some of these, you know, deities that they attributed to
• 28:02
  thousands of years ago, like nymphs hiding in the cloud.
• 28:05
  I mean it, the list goes on and on and on.
• 28:06
  And then Dr. Monzo comes on, we talk about, you know, the clouds
• 28:10
  seeding patents and micro nanoparticulates and how clouds
• 28:13
  are literally it. I'm aware of all of it and, and
• 28:19
  most of the audiences too, because they've listened for
• 28:21
  years to all these different stories.
• 28:24
  But what's fascinating about your relationship with the
• 28:27
  clouds is you call me randomly and say, dude, I just seen this.
• 28:32
  It lines up numerically. Did you know what day today?
• 28:35
  Like it's always something. Now, this doesn't happen all the
• 28:38
  time. But what I'm saying over the
• 28:40
  course of the last couple years, there's been at least four or
• 28:42
  five different phone calls I've gotten from you.
• 28:44
  Like, bro, I just took a picture of this.
• 28:47
  You're not going to believe it. And I'm like, you need a
• 28:49
  journal. You need to write this down,
• 28:51
  right? Let let's just talk about one of
• 28:53
  those. There is one time specifically
• 28:57
  coming to mind. It was the first time that God
• 29:01
  put a heart-shaped cloud in the sky.
• 29:05
  So you know the symbol that's associated with like Valentine's
• 29:10
  Day? The heart with the arrow through
• 29:12
  it. Yeah, the the Cupid lore, which
• 29:14
  is, is really dark actually. Well, I don't know nothing about
• 29:18
  that kind of stuff, about the darkness behind things.
• 29:22
  But at this time, it was in 2016, I was living up in
• 29:28
  Freeland, PA with a friend of mine.
• 29:31
  And at this point in time, I was digging into the book of
• 29:35
  Proverbs. Like I was doing a lot of cross
• 29:39
  referencing, like through the whole book.
• 29:42
  I'm pretty sure I did like the 31 days of Proverbs.
• 29:47
  I'm pretty sure that's how I did it.
• 29:49
  And I was cross referencing every verse that I could
• 29:52
  throughout the Bible. And about the middle of the
• 29:56
  month at this time I was I was still smoking cigarettes at the
• 30:00
  time. Thank God he delivered me from
• 30:01
  that. I have went outside.
• 30:06
  I think I just got done reading the Bible and I, I went outside
• 30:12
  on the porch, I lit my cigarette and I looked up into the sky and
• 30:15
  I literally seen a heart with an arrow piercing straight through
• 30:22
  it. Like you couldn't deny this.
• 30:26
  If you have eyes in your head and you know what that image
• 30:29
  looks like, you couldn't deny it.
• 30:31
  So I'm like, I'm staring at it and it's not even moving.
• 30:35
  The cloud is not moving. I'm like staring at it and it's
• 30:38
  just staying stationary. I'm like, are you telling me
• 30:43
  that I'm piercing your heart by doing what I'm doing and I'm
• 30:46
  chasing after your heart by digging into the book of
• 30:49
  Proverbs like this? I'm like, this is I'm standing
• 30:54
  there for a good 20 seconds and it doesn't move at all.
• 30:58
  And I'm like, I got to get a picture of this.
• 31:00
  Nobody's ever going to believe me.
• 31:02
  So I run in and I grab my phone. As soon as I get the camera
• 31:06
  open, it starts moving. It starts shifting.
• 31:09
  So I hurry up and I get the picture and the Arrowhead kind
• 31:13
  of shifted a little bit. It shifted up a little bit and I
• 31:17
  was like, wow, this is crazy, bro.
• 31:21
  So that was the well, actually, Nope, I can't say that was the
• 31:24
  first time. That was actually the second
• 31:26
  time. Heart Cloud.
• 31:29
  That was definitely the second time.
• 31:31
  First time. We could talk about that one
• 31:33
  another time. Me and Nick were were busting
• 31:36
  your chops about like a Jonah experience because you God told
• 31:41
  you to do something and you were you were not going to do it.
• 31:45
  And and you and you were talking with me on the phone.
• 31:48
  I'm like, bro, you better do it or, or you're going to get
• 31:50
  swallowed up. Your jaw hits the floor.
• 31:51
  You look up, remember and you see a there's a whale.
• 31:54
  There's a whale. And you're like giant whale
• 31:56
  cloud like you couldn't deny. It you're like, why'd you do
• 31:59
  this to me? And now God's on your side too,
• 32:01
  Like I have to do this. So there's been even some humor
• 32:05
  in it too, where it's like some people are, are very in tune
• 32:09
  with supernatural stuff. You know, Eric, one of the
• 32:12
  things that that I've learned over the years is like, I don't
• 32:15
  need, I don't need to be convinced of it.
• 32:17
  I don't need to be convinced about how much God loves me.
• 32:20
  I don't need to be convinced about the Super.
• 32:22
  Like, I just believe it, you know, I just believe in all of
• 32:26
  it. And so I don't need somebody to
• 32:28
  try to sell me on it. And, and the more that I see
• 32:31
  people experience that in my circle and I have my own direct
• 32:35
  experiences as well, it starts to make me think of, you know,
• 32:40
  the multi layered reality. You know how I'm always coining
• 32:43
  new terms and then I'm pushing those, those, those terms out
• 32:47
  into the group and out into to other spaces.
• 32:50
  And I've seen some of them climb pretty high in the influence
• 32:54
  realm, but we won't go there right now.
• 32:56
  But it's like this. I, I started saying a couple
• 32:59
  years ago, everything's multi layered.
• 33:01
  Like everything's multi layered. It's all interconnected.
• 33:04
  It is. And then there's the multi
• 33:05
  layered effect. And it's like you, you start to
• 33:09
  have these effects, right? Like like some people say, oh,
• 33:12
  you're waking up or the program's breaking.
• 33:16
  And, and so effectually you're starting to experience things
• 33:20
  around you that start to line up with the reality that it's much
• 33:24
  spookier and weirder than we had been led to believe.
• 33:28
  And then there's the multi layered reality when you have
• 33:32
  had enough multi layered effects in your life that you literally
• 33:35
  start to construct the reality that the spirit realm is the
• 33:40
  crisp and clear and everlasting realm.
• 33:43
  And we are experiencing a time slot of existence in in a
• 33:47
  fleeting space, right? Like you're going to die.
• 33:50
  Things burn and break and disappear here.
• 33:52
  This is the fuzzy world, right? We're leaving a lot off the
• 33:56
  table in this conversation. Like there's there's a lot that
• 34:01
  we could get into and and I think that will be the plan,
• 34:04
  Eric in the future is to have, you know, a long format
• 34:08
  conversation and and talk about your testimony and get into the
• 34:12
  nitty and gritty. But I just want to thank you and
• 34:14
  honor you for coming on for, you know, this short, you know,
• 34:18
  episode here because you have a lot to offer.
• 34:24
  Well, brother, it's by no accident or coincidence that we
• 34:27
  met, and I'm very grateful for the brotherhood that we have and
• 34:32
  our relationship, man, and it's an honor to be here with you.
• 34:36
  Well, that's it for this micro episode.
• 34:38
  More to come from Eric Allen. We have inspiration,
• 34:42
  encouragement and and creepy stories.
• 34:45
  We barely scratched the surface. But if you guys are enjoying
• 34:48
  these micro episodes, the best thing that you can do is share
• 34:52
  them far and wide because it's just the right thing to do.
• 34:57
  And coming to you from Southeastern Pennsylvania.
• 35:00
  God bless and goodbye. I came from the sun, straight
• 35:19
  from the heavens. You really owe me.
• 35:22
  All in my life I was beating up. All in my life I didn't handle.
• 35:26
  All in my life I was stuck in on track.
• 35:29
  All in my life I didn't handle wreck.
• 35:31
  I didn't know why my life was away.
• 35:33
  I didn't know why my life was away.
• 35:36
  I didn't know why I couldn't get up.
• 35:38
  I was so stuck. And the monkey was stuck till I
• 35:40
  found out. And I broke everything till I
• 35:43
  found out. And they took everything until I
• 35:45
  was hurting. My heart was strained.
• 35:47
  Yeah, I was broken. I had all this pain held on the
• 35:50
  home. It got harder than this hope.
• 35:51
  Then I would dip to the side in this smoke.
• 35:54
  I had no truth but to look to my guy.
• 35:56
  He gave me stomach. He gave me earrings.
• 35:59
  And he told me I'm blessed. He told me he just believe in
• 36:02
  this stuff. I told him I can't change all of
• 36:04
  my ways. He said I got you to look at
• 36:06
  this. I looked at him and he showed me
• 36:09
  his ways. They he just told me how I am
• 36:11
  his son. They he just told me I'm not in
• 36:13
  this world. He told me I come from the
• 36:15
  heavens above. I'm a new creature.
• 36:17
  I come from the sun from the one and only straight from the
• 36:20
  heavens. You really owe me.
• 36:22
  I came from the sun I was really with him and heavenly places I'm
• 36:25
  ceiling. Y'all can't even go that way.
• 36:29
  Y'all don't even know that way. Y'all want to play like Patty
• 36:32
  Kay but this ain't no game but it's start right?
• 36:36
  You wank this so fake when you walk under me and I know you a
• 36:39
  snake you think you can beat me but you got no power you want in
• 36:44
  a way I take out that chopper I'll put on your top and I'll
• 36:48
  prank on your face. I see you laughing you think
• 36:51
  that you got me but you got no way.
• 36:54
  The evil you say for my life is OK because it's made for my
• 36:58
  good. My God created he created you so
• 37:01
  you really is cooked. I said all these things 'cause I
• 37:05
  know when it's true and you know you were cooked.
• 37:08
  Go like on the cage when you're done winning games.
• 37:10
  You can never win out all the things that's going to happen to
• 37:13
  you when you die. You didn't say living your life
• 37:17
  'cause you know you can never go and get saved.
• 37:20
  You know His grace and his mercy was took from you when you're my
• 37:23
  son in the plot. Thought you could take on my
• 37:26
  God's spot now, Boo, you can die hot.
• 37:28
  You was really Twinkie. I come from the sun, from the
• 37:31
  one and only, straight from the heavens.
• 37:33
  You really owe me. I came from the sun.
• 37:35
