Satan is on the Run

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

At the bottom of this email, I will be showing you a couple of pictures but first I want to let you know what this is all about.

After we had recorded our third album, I was content but I felt extremely burdened because I knew that Christians were enjoying our music but the ministry that I grew up with from the day I was born was engaged in winning the lost and confronting evil in the Latin American Countries. My Father, Bob Tyson, was a man that stood up and faced followers of Satan, Witches and People who were demon possesed. He never showed any fear and God gave him the strength to destroy many walls that Satan had put up. 

There are less Religious people today and more God Haters than anytime before. I wanted our fourth album to do tWo things, First, to show that Religion does not save anyone, only by turning your life over to Jesus, and Two, to find and sing songs with strong lyrics confronting demons, addictions, and anything that would have to do with satan and the hold that he has on the youth.

We started uploading the music on Youtube and I started a spanish blog. My strategy was first was to show that I am a normal person with a past and with problems just like anyone but the difference is that I have someone living inside of me who gives me strength. I did not want to start off forcing God on anyone but I started little by little talking about my faith. In just a few months, we had over 45,000 subscribers with our videos being seen over 3 million times. 64 Percent of our subscribers our from Mexico and their ages range between 13 and 19 years old.

Once the CD came, our music started flooding the internet. Even some spanish sites were pirating some of the songs where people could download them for free. (This did not bother us a bit because our goal is for people to listen to the message). Just one site alone had over 11,000 downloads of Stephany singing At your Feet. 

One of the songs that we sing is called Set me Free. The lyrics are extremely strong against Satan. Just one verse of the songs says "It hasn't always been this way, I remember brighter days, Before the dark ones came, Stole my mind, And wrapped my souls in chains. Now I live among the dead, Fighting voices in my head, Hoping someone hears me crying in the night And carries me away. Set me Free from the chains holding me, Is anybody out there hearing me? Who is this man that comes my way? The dark ones shriek They scream His name Is this the One they say will set the captives free? Jesus, rescue me"

Countless number of churches in just about every spanish speaking country in the world started downloading this song and their youth groups started doing dramas and skits with this song. They would go to parks and do it in public places. Most spanish christian music is mainly worship style like "lift your hands toward heaven" which is fine but to someone who does not believe in God, this kind of music is ignored.

Today, I received a video from Mexico. The email was anonymous and all they wrote was, "God cannot Set you Free, Only Satan". I cannot show you the video because it is very disturbing but I will put a couple of screen shots. It is from a Satanic Cult doing a ritual with some type of pentagram with a picture of my son on one side and my picture on the othe side. First a voice comes up asking for my death and suffering in the name of satan and then chanting starts with people dancing around the pentagram with knives and some type of symbols in their hands.

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SATAN IS ON THE RUN

This has inspired me to record once again in September. Hundreds of thousands of people are happy to receive any music we give them. We are going to continue to put swords in the hands of Christians in these spanish speaking countries where EVIL lives. 

If you have any suggestions on songs that you believe that can help change the minds and hearts of the youth, we can translate them, get the permissions and record them. You can email me atphilip@samaritanrevival.com or leave me a comment below with your suggestions. 

Thank you for reading this and keep us in your prayers as we start visiting churches here in the US in September. The pictures are below.
