 An iceberg is a perfect projection of my life. There is what meets the eye, and there what lies beneath the cold, dark surface, full of pain and regrets, living with the shameful past that plagues my mind. In chains, bound by fear, each day, living in a prison cell, devoured by addictions of my sins, echoes from hell call for me, that I don't belong anywhere. The depths of suicide torture me every day. I am lost and isolated. I don't have to live this way. I make my hands ready for battle. This time I won't fight alone. This time I will break free. Once and for all. Everyone, we welcome you here in our studio at Flem of Fire Ministry together with Pastor Vlad Savchuk from 100 Generation and I believe we will have a good time for the next 30 minutes. Break free. The new book just came out after Pastor Vlad and he's going to share more about this book in this program so stay tuned and open your heart. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Thank you. Tell us more about the idea of this book. Well the idea of the book is a lot of people, they see our ministry as a place where deliverance happens. We also have sometimes even people see us as a controversial church because of we do deliverance or we bring people who practice deliverance and practice it on a large scale. But the book was born a long time ago when I was introduced to pornography at a young age. This is where I believe that everything started. When I was in Ukraine I was about 12 years of age. First time I was exposed to pornographic material and then we moved to the United States. Thank you for sharing this because many people they really need to hear this. They struggle with pornography everywhere and everybody is silent. Nobody is talking about this issue. The scene, the spirit of pornography. That's where I opened the introduction chapter with my story. When we came to the United States I was 13 and a half and so within six months of us being in America a neighbor of ours asked us to take care of his house and it was an American guy for seven days and so I, me and my cousin were taking care of the house and of course we're Ukrainians so we're very curious how Americans live so we went through his whole house. We checked the refrigerator, we checked his bedroom, we checked everything and I opened the one closet and it had a stack of VHS tape so it's about 250 VHS, the whole closet full of tapes and it was pornography. I wish I would say that I closed the closet and ran from there, 13 and a half. I remember the thought going to my mind, I'm just going to play a tape just to see if it's not a milligram crusade. I'm thinking I mean how stupid I could be but that's the thought that I had in my mind just to check what if it's like a Catherine Coleman crusade got stuck in some kind of a bad cover and so one thing led to another, two tapes later I felt I still remember the feeling of disgust and the feeling sick, feeling like I got violated or something and little did I know is that something entered me at that time. You felt? I felt that something entered me and felt it in my body. I made a decision that that's it, I'm repenting, this will never happen again. The next day it happened again, the day after that happened again. I was so happy when the neighbor actually came back and took the keys away because at the time there was no computers, there was no internet so I was fine for six months after that and then started a battle that lasted for a few years from about 14 to about 17, 16 and 17. I was already doing youth ministry, I was already preaching on Sundays. No matter how hard I tried once a month and typically before like a big service, Thursday or Friday, like a clock, I would fall into pornography. I always ran to my pastor right away and so I got on my knees, I said pastor I can't preach, I can't minister and my pastor he's a man of faith and grace and he prayed, he would pray for me and he says no you're gonna preach, he says this is the only way you're gonna overcome and so he never stopped me from ministry, he says you're battling, fasted once a week, fasted three days a month against it and I put restrictions on anything and no matter how hard I tried I could not overcome. A book by Jack Hayford, I picked up a book, I started reading books and freedom, anything I could put my hands on. A book by Jack Hayford, something about sexual purity. He mentions a story where a deacon in his ministry who was a deacon for 30 or 40 years for a long time, he had a really terrible past. He started to have sexual thoughts coming again and sexual temptations. He comes to Jack Hayford and says that I'm being tempted, could you pray for me? And Jack Hayford being his pastor and being his staff, having him on the staff, he begins to pray for him and God shows him a vision. But in the vision he sees five holes in that guy's soul and he says these five holes are five sexual encounters you've had before you got saved. And he says though you're saved, he says these are the holes that Satan is using years later to attack your soul. And as I was reading that story, a scale was removed out of my eyes. And the Holy Spirit showed me, he says you had a front door and a back door of your life. The front door is when you were 12. The first exposure to pornography and the back door is when you were 13 and a half. And so I went on a seven day fasting, it was one of the easiest fasts I've ever done because when you're desperate and fed up, it's easy to fast. And only thing I did during the fast, and I said, God, I know I repented for this. I know I prayed for it, but I never saw the connection. And I prayed that you deliver me. Wow. I can say that I felt something different, but I knew that I was freed. A sense of knowing that I never had before. And ever since that point, I still was tempted in exactly same way. The only thing is in the moment of temptation, I almost felt like this one small degree of strength, I had it before. Almost like I had the power to, whether it was a computer, whether it was a magazine, whether it was something else, to walk away and to, to leave that. And so that was my journey to, to freedom. Little did I know that, little did I knew that later on, when deliverance started to happen in a youth group, when people started getting saved about seven, eight years ago, first in our church, and people started manifesting randomly. This wasn't during prayer, this was started first happening during worship. During worship, people would fall. So I thought it was like, anointing maybe, Benny Hinn is anointing, I've been watching Benny Hinn before. I'm thinking maybe that anointing is being released before I get up. That kind of a thing, until they wouldn't get up. So we would just kind of pray for more. Wow. And, and then when they started to manifest, we're like, well, I guess not more out. And so, and one case after another, we, we started to deal with people who started to come to that. And so I started to study a little bit more about the topic. And, and then we got introduced to some other ministries, Tipijasha Jenshi, who brought a little bit more light into that. But if it wouldn't be for the deliverance, I really believe, or freedom, if the word deliverance, you know, scares people, the word freedom, I don't think I would be in the ministry today. Wow. And then I experienced that with my wife from the spirit of loneliness and nightmares when we got married and stuff. So to me, this is not a topic I studied. This is something I lived, I experienced, and, and it's something that we practice as a church. And I believe it belongs to Christians. Wow. I believe many churches need to hear this because they pretend like everything is all right. And many young people, they experience the deliverance, but they never walk in freedom. They don't know how to live in freedom. And, and I'm glad that you guys practicing, you know, and doing ministry and deliverance and conferences and teaching. You write a book about this. So tell us more about this book. So what, what you pointed out is so true. Every single church, whether they believe in deliverance or don't believe in deliverance, they will come to the point. Of course, many churches, they don't believe in deliverance. They never practice in deliverance. Yeah. So that's the issue. I believe deliverance, one of the biggest thing that we need today. Because Jesus says, He says that a son dwells in the house. Whoever is a slave cannot stay in the house. And anytime people can go through growth track, people can go through membership classes. People can become home group leaders. But you can educate a slave. You can dress up a slave. You can clothe a slave. But there's one thing about slave, somebody who's in bondage to a particular sin or generational curse, is there's no consistency. And I think this is a challenge that we're facing right now, you know, last week, we were at one conference, the second largest church in America, very good with system and everything. And they started to do freedom courses, actually from Jack Hayford, his courses, with a like a freedom weekend, Friday and Saturday, because they started noticing people are serving and they're falling out. And they're like, while we have a great system, something there's a missing link. And the missing link is that people need to receive freedom. And like you said, it's not about receiving the deliverance, but also learning to walk with it. And some people need actually like a rehab center or they need something like a destiny center, a place where they need to isolate themselves or internship. Some people can manage their freedom by just going to a home group, like having somebody walk with them. Some people need to seek inner healing to receive that. I remember one of the stories I did mention in the book, because I don't believe that this story is finished yet. It's one of our losses. A young man, he was 16 years of age, Hispanic, got saved, two months later comes during worship, we're worshipping, and he stands like a pencil. He just falls. And so, and we had maybe 35 kids at the time, so a very small church. And he fell, we're praying for him afterwards. And on the side, I didn't know whether this was Jesus or the whole, or the devil's manifesting. So we're praying, he started manifesting, turns out that the evil spirit entered him. He had a nurse, he had a babysitter when he was a little kid who was a witch and who tried to burn him alive. The crazy part is nobody knows that except his mom and dad, there are scars on his legs. They walked in to the babysitter trying to kill him. And so they fired the babysitter, they cleaned that, they never told him that story. So the demon actually is the one, and we asked how did you enter him? The demon spoke is that I entered through, he was dedicated to me through the babysitter and everything. And so because we record all the deliverances, we brought the parents who were Catholics, and we showed them that and we said, hey, could you tell us a little bit about his beginning and everything? They were blown away, they're like, we don't understand what was happening to our son, but this is true. He was, he had this incident. And so, but the real reason why the devil stayed in him was because of his addiction to Paris Hilton pornography. He was obsessed with a particular Paris Hilton pornography. He wore Paris Hilton clothes, he used Paris Hilton perfume, everything. So he repented, he renounced everything. I had to be the one to drive him home. He lived about 25 minutes from Tri-Cities. At the time I was very young and had a small Toyota Corolla, no phone reception at the area where he lived. And as we're driving, he starts to manifest in the car. He's twice my size. He grabs a pen and tries to stab his veins in the car. And so it was almost like a horror film. It's dark, there's no lights in the streets. I opened my flip phone and there was no reception. And I'm thinking, how am I, the back of my mind, I'm already going ahead. I'm like, if he stabs himself, how will I explain that to his parents that I didn't do it? I'm like, I'm scared to death and nobody's there. So I'm like, one hand on the wheel and like driving this gothic town and putting my hand on his, on his hand. And I was like, the name of Jesus, Satan let go of him and everything. Cause he wasn't fully delivered. He goes back home. I tell him, I was like, listen, I'm gonna wait for you in the car, but you need to throw all of this stuff away. And then we can go back. And he goes home, he throws this stuff away. The next day he downloads the pornography again and we do deliverance again. We did it for a month and a half, every other day fasted. He was also going to school. So I had to sometimes pick him up from school cause he would manifest like during lunchtime. And so they would, so I would pick him up, put him in and until this day, this man never got delivered. I still believe one day there's gonna be a final deliverance cause I see him in town once in a while. And the moment he sees me, he runs away. And I know that God still has a plan for him and that's why I never mentioned his story but I really believe that when people receive that and there is no continuous walk of freedom cause the challenge that happens with people is they receive freedom from pornography, for example, kingdom domain and they go to some kind of a minister, somebody prays for them. And the deception that comes in is that people feel invincible. People feel like they no longer need discipline. They no longer need to fast. They know, they almost feel like above temptation and that is pride. They need to have discipleship and discipline and discipline. Yeah, you know, the more I travel in and do ministry and ministering to people, the more I'm shocked. To be honest, everyone who's watching me right now, watching us, I think 95% people, Christian people, they struggle in with pornography. A lot of men. It's crazy. It's crazy. Not only boys, but girls too. Boys and girls. This giant, this spirit of pornography, killing people, eat the presence of God in their life and lives out of them. So while I'm so glad you released this book and everyone who's watching us, you need to get the copy of this book. You need to get the copy of this. Also churches, youth ministries, because you have the whole study guide. The study. So at the end of the book, I have a study guide for whether people wanna go through the book as a small group or on the website, hungrigen.com slash break free book. We have videos that are about eight minutes long. And then with the video, it has a testimony of somebody's deliverance. So we have testimonies and I included some of them there in the books and I wanted people to see those that they read in the book. We have testimonies of people who had sleep apnea after deliverance that they were healed. A person who had 15 psychotic medicines, actually the doctor, her doctor said she was on the highest dose of psychotic medicine. He's ever seen anybody in America. And so after deliverance, completely free. She's actually part of our internship right now. Wow. Bipolar, schizophrenia, all gone after deliverance. And so I've seen a person who had a leukemia, two years, two and a half years of leukemia, medically documented now. We have about three to four medical reports six months later after he received deliverance that he was healed. And so what we do is we have a study guide and we have this 10 minute videos where we can share about the open doors to the devil, how to maintain your freedom, how to receive forgiveness, the renewing of the mind, which is a huge thing, how to live a disciplined life, how to submit yourself to mentors. And then we do this nine minute clips with a three to four minute testimony that deals with like deliverance and healing. Because we don't wanna show deliverance as it's only from sin. Sometimes people experience deliverance, they experience healing or financial breakthrough in their life. And then we provide study guides there as well. And all of that is available for free so that people can do it. Actually this week is when we start our eight week with our home groups. All of our home groups are going through that because I want our home groups. So everything in this book? Everything's in this book and the rest of the stuff is on the website where people can download videos. You guys need to get this. I'm serious, it's gonna help you. My daughter is reading this book. Oh really? Yes. Oh Jesus. So she's reading this. And after her, when she's done. You have to understand is that I am a simple guy. I have a high school diploma, which means I'm not super educated. And the benefit and a lot of people that wrote the book. You're much more educated than me. I don't have high school diploma. Oh really? Okay, so then your book is gonna be better. A lot of people that wrote to me after reading it, they really get blessed with the simplicity and they use a lot of examples. I use a lot of examples. It's not a lot of theory. Yes, there's a lot of insight and revelation from the word of God. But I want it to be intervined with first of all practical things, how it works. And I use a lot of life outside of church and outside of testimony examples. Like physical examples when it deals with a lawn or deals with a car with things to illustrate spiritual examples, a spiritual truth so that people can relate and people can understand. Wow. And also you guys will have a conference coming up, right? Next year, race to deliverance. So when is gonna happen? So that's gonna happen April 5th through 7th. It's going to be focused mainly on healing and deliverance. Those conferences are not for everyone. So usually we tell people it's for everyone. Yeah, manage that and invite people. So race to deliver conference is for people who need deliverance or people who feel like God wants to raise them to bring deliverance to other people. This coming conference in 2019 is going to be very different. Instead of doing three deliverance services, it's going to be only two deliverance services and the other two services are gonna be focused on empowering people to bring salvation, healing and deliverance to their community, their home group, their church or other people. So we're really, really excited. Even the way our ministry is going because in our church, most of the small group leaders minister in deliverance. We just had, let's try the training. We kind of teach them. We don't train them too much. We want them to get trained most of it by the power of the Holy Spirit and practice. We give them the basics and in their home groups, they pray for deliverance, they pray for breaking of the curses. And so I'm really excited for that because I believe it's not just the one guy who just stands with the microphone and screams out, out. But it's the body of Christ ministering freedom and people can experience freedom also on their own without somebody praying for them. What I like about this book that it's not only the information and good stories but also you have practical thing that they can do like a homework. So. And each chapter ends with a prayer. Each chapter. There's a specific prayer. So if somebody doesn't know for example how to pray for breaking of the curses. Wonderful. And read them through each chapter based on what the chapter was. They can receive prayer. The book is also available in audio form. Yeah. Please tell us more how to get this. So an audible or iTunes audio or anywhere where you can find audio book is there. And I was the one that read it. And we have quite few of after script moments where I go off into the after script. And so and there are prayers that are offered there also on the book and quite few people that already went through it will really, really bless even people on our team cause I wanted to hear their feedback and it's available on iBooks, Barnes and Nobles in honestly anywhere books are sold. It's there. Good. Thank you so much. Pastor Vlad and everyone who's watching us get this book. And I believe God will bless you. Tremendous through this book and deliver you if you need deliverance. Wow. Where the spirit of the Lord there is liberty and there is liberty. God bless you everyone. Get the book. Read it. Help young people. And I believe God will use this material to help many, many people all over the world. Thank you so much, Pastor Vlad. Thank you. Good to have you with us. Bye bye. Thank you. And iceberg is a perfect projection of my life. There is what meets the eye and there what lies beneath the cold dark surface full of pain and regrets living with the shameful past that plagues my mind in chains bound by fear each day living in a prison cell devoured by addictions of my sins echoes from hell call for me that I don't belong anywhere. Thoughts of suicide torture me every day. I am lost and isolated. I don't have to live this way. I make my hands ready for battle. This time I won't fight alone. This time I will break free once and for all.
