1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,080
Well, Pastor Greg Locke, it's great to have you on the Charisma News video podcast to talk about

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:13,520
this new movie that you have come out in Jesus name. I mean, wow, I've seen just the trailer of

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:20,960
this. And I'm going to incorporate that into our interview here at some point. But tell me about

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:27,440
this film, because this is not something that is scripted. It is something that God has scripted,

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,960
and you're just following the role that He's put you in place. So just tell us about this film.

6
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,920
Tell us about what God is doing and what has come out in Jesus name. Yeah, you know, this is really

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,040
totally an organic move of the Holy Spirit. This is not anything we ever intended. I never had a

8
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:51,600
goal or desire to get into movie theaters. And yet the Lord began to accentuate such a mighty move of

9
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,320
His Spirit at our church. And I thought, let's share this with the world. Pastors need to see

10
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,680
and hear this. Every person in any type of leadership position in every church across the

11
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:07,040
nation and around the world needs to understand that we're taking the hokeyness out of deliverance

12
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,640
ministry, right? We're taking the silliness out of it and showing people this is the ministry of

13
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Jesus. This is the ancient ministry of the New Testament. It's a third of what Jesus did. And

14
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,720
it's so theologically well done from beginning to end. It's packed full of just scripture,

15
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,600
word of God, after word of God, after word of God. So people are going to have a hard time

16
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,880
defending the narrative of their denomination. If that makes sense. You know, I grew up extremely

17
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,520
baptismistic. I don't demonize my past, but when I took off the lens, I began to say, okay,

18
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,920
who's right? My seminary or the word of God? Okay. Somebody's right. And somebody's misinformed and

19
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:52,160
ill informed. And so this movie really is the organic overflow of the massive revival that for

20
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,080
three years has been taking place in our church. And even before deliverance happened, we were in

21
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,680
revival. We kept our church open during COVID and we grew from, you know, 300 to 3000. We baptized

22
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,360
7,200 people in a horse trough, in a circus tent. And so it's been unbelievable growth, but in the

23
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,840
middle of that, even a little past the middle mark, God said, you know what, you've stewarded this

24
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,640
well. So I'm going to send revival in the middle of revival. It's not like we were looking for a

25
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:21,360
bigger platform or more people to show up at church. And it just started happening. And the

26
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,840
miracles and the healings and the deliverance from evil spirits just began to happen at an alarming

27
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,480
rate. So that now our church is really becoming one of the tip of the spear ministries to bring

28
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,360
back deliverance ministry. And I say bring back sadly, because it never should have went away,

29
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,360
but it got strange to people. And there have been people that have done some weird things.

30
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,720
So this movie in a nutshell will demystify the ministry of Jesus. It'll demystify the ministry

31
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,880
of deliverance and put it on the big screen so that when the credit scene rolls and it goes dark,

32
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:02,560
everybody's going to say, wow, no wonder I've had this oppression. No wonder my child has

33
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,360
nightmares. No wonder my marriage is under the affliction of the enemy. And they're going to

34
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,800
see that all of us have authority and power in the name of Jesus. And we should walk in that authority.

35
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Amen. We definitely need to be walking in that authority. Why do you think that people

36
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,880
obfuscated that responsibility? Because obviously that's something that you're drawing attention to

37
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,160
now is that we need to focus on this. And Jesus focused on this. I mean, you said one third of

38
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:37,120
his ministry was deliverance. So you mentioned that things got weird. What do you mean by that?

39
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Well, I think how do we make it unweird? Yeah, I think people have a hard time with the

40
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,280
uncomfortable. Nobody wants the uncomfortable subject. And there's really nothing more

41
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,520
uncomfortable to talk about than demons, but it's demons, not poodles, right? We're not talking

42
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,360
about kitty cats. We're talking about evil spirits. You know, we're talking about these entities

43
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,840
that come against you and come within people. And so I think preachers, they didn't want the

44
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,160
fantastical. So they felt the need, I guess, to just table it all together because they didn't

45
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,040
want any outbursts. And here's the problem. When people did do deliverance ministry, it was in a

46
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,720
green room. It was in a back room. It was in a choir loft somewhere. But Jesus never wanted

47
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Jesus never turned off the live stream, if you will. Matter of fact, when he took his disciples

48
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,520
to the very first church service they ever went to in Mark chapter one in a synagogue, a demon

49
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,600
manifested out of a man. And if we're not careful because of our flannel graph days, we're going to

50
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,160
think, well, you know, this guy just happened to show up that day. No, this guy, no doubt in the

51
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,640
context had sat in that service through the same rabbis and the same teachers of the law over and

52
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:46,160
over and over. But when Jesus exerted authority, it was the authority of what Jesus said that drew

53
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,240
that demon out into the open. And so I tell people the problem with the American church is we care

54
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,360
more about our dignity than we do our deliverance. So you got to leave your dignity at the door,

55
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,600
quit compromising and patty caking with evil spirits. And you got to be willing to wrestle

56
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,760
to the mat the issues that have kept you where you're at. And so because we do have authority

57
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,280
and power, everybody thinks, well, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to walk in a spirit of arrogance.

58
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:15,680
No demons don't respond to arrogance. They respond to authority and it's not my authority. It's

59
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,400
delegated authority. I tell people it's like the lady that's directing traffic at your public school

60
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,360
intersection, right? When she puts up her hand, you know what you do? You stop, not because she's

61
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,040
powerful, not because she has an AR strapped to her, not because she has an FBI warrant, but because

62
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:37,040
her hand represents delegated authority that someone has given her and you respect the authority

63
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,240
that her hand represents. And so that's good. Even us authority. So it's time in this culture,

64
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,280
we put up our hands to demonic activity and say, stop in the name of Jesus. And guess what? They'll

65
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:54,400
stop. Yeah. So you've had revival breakout at your church. You've had revival within a revival

66
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,760
with this deliverance being really highlighted and brought back to its proper place. And

67
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,400
just from some of the things that I've seen in the, in the trailer, there is a lot of shouting.

68
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,920
There is things that are as there, as you're calling them out in Jesus name, right? What are,

69
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,920
what are some things that people can expect to see in this film? And I mean, yeah, just tell us

70
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,920
about some of those, some of those things, what is happening? There are some very hyperactive,

71
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,400
dramatic moments in the film, but we really tried to minimize a lot of that so people could focus on

72
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,120
the theological aspect because I didn't want anybody who's a cessationist to walk out saying,

73
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,280
yeah, it's just all, you know, drama, drama, drama. Whereas there is some of that in there.

74
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,920
And there's a lot of that in deliverance ministry. But what we did is fill the entire movie with the

75
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,880
word of God, with the overarching of this is why deliverance is important. Because for some

76
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,520
people, deliverance can be very peaceful. If you will, it just feels like a Mack truck just drove

77
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,160
out of their chest. They can rest better because demons don't care how they do it. They have one

78
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,800
job and their job is to take your peace. They'll do that through infirmity. They'll do that through

79
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,760
a falling, a failing marriage. They'll do that through finances. They'll do that through dreams,

80
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,880
PTSD, depression, spirit of heaviness, whatever. They don't care how they take your peace. That's

81
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,000
just their number one job. And so people do scream five times in the New Testament. It says, and they

82
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,400
came out with a loud voice. I've never heard a demon come out whispering, right? They're not kind.

83
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,640
They're mad. Some people throw up. Some people fall al on the ground. Demons still respond today

84
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,680
the way they've always responded. And the funny thing is religious people still respond today to

85
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,640
demons coming out the same way they did. This did it. But you know, James, for example, says devils

86
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:44,160
believe and tremble. Well, people get under the power and authority of the name of Jesus. And

87
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,560
guess what? They'll start shaking. I mean, they will absolutely start shaking. That's not the person

88
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,600
shaking. That's that demon. That's that entity on the inside of them that's causing them to shake.

89
00:07:53,600 --> 00:08:00,000
And so they still do the exact same, for lack of better terminology, manifestations today as they've

90
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,080
been doing for 2000 years. They still act up the same way. So some people get super strong. Security

91
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,120
has to hold them on the ground. I've seen 15 year old girls throw 10 security guards like they were

92
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,280
cotton balls, right? We've seen people throw chairs. We had a man literally manifest a demon

93
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,040
a few months ago, jumped up in the service, knocked over two rows of chairs, ran into the parking lot,

94
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,200
found the only car with keys in it, stole the car, drove down the road, rolled it in a ditch, hit a

95
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,480
telephone pole. The police arrested him, brought him back for a statement, came back into the tent,

96
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,560
and literally got delivered before they arrested him and took him off that night. I'm telling you,

97
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:44,000
you can't make this stuff up. And so you absolutely cannot make up what the Lord is doing in our tent.

98
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,400
We see some crazy stuff. I've seen deliverance services, not services, but sessions go 18 hours,

99
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:56,720
and I've seen them go 15 minutes. It just depends on the level of witchcraft and the level of

100
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,360
generational curses that people have been exposed to. So again, this movie, Come Out in Jesus' Name,

101
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:08,000
is going to take away the scary aspect. It's going to take away, we're in Hollywood, but it's going

102
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,160
to take away the Hollywood, right? It's going to show people what the holy word says about

103
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:18,320
deliverance ministry. It's this simple. It's not a methodology. It's not a man. And it's not my

104
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,280
message. It's the message. And the message is, Come out in Jesus' name. And it's so simple,

105
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,200
it should never work, but it always works because it's so simple. Wow. That's so good. You made

106
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,440
mention that this is Hollywood, but it's not Hollywood. I'm sure that people are going to

107
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,040
be saying, well, yeah, this is Hollywood. So what special effects are they using? Could you just tell

108
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,320
us right now and dispel any myths that people might be thinking? Absolutely. There are no special

109
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:51,200
effects, no sleight of hand, no smoke and mirrors. Any footage that you see will be absolute straight

110
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,880
footage from our services. And we don't use a lot of that because we don't want to embarrass

111
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,560
people. So we use a lot more of the crowd intensity than we do individual one-on-one. But when we do

112
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:06,800
individual one-on-one, the only thing that would even be remotely changed or redacted is sometimes

113
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,320
we'll cover up somebody's face because we don't want them to be embarrassed. But you can see the

114
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,920
full-blown manifestation of demons in their life. And so there's no smoke and mirrors. There's no

115
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,240
hooking and crooking in this. This is, here's what the Bible says. We're going to prove it to you

116
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,320
because it's one thing to preach the gospel. It's another thing to demonstrate the gospel through

117
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,480
the work and the power of the Holy Spirit. And that's what the American church is missing.

118
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,280
We're not missing the message. We're missing the demonstration of the message. And so we

119
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:38,720
merge them together in this movie. Yeah. So I know that the Bible says that when the demon is cast

120
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:47,120
out, it goes through dry and a barren places when it comes back and it sees that the house is empty

121
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,600
still. It brings seven more with it. I really want to know what is happening with these people that

122
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,720
are getting delivered afterwards. I think that's something that our audience would really care to

123
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,160
know about because this is, we don't want to just have the experience of freedom for a moment.

124
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,960
We want people to be walking in freedom for a lifetime. Tell us about that. Absolutely.

125
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,560
A lot of people drop the ball on that because they do just see people get delivered and then

126
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,440
they send them right back out and they give them no follow-up. And so we believe that deliverance

127
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,320
needs to be used as discipleship, right? It's not a one and done. So we started the Global Vision

128
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,360
Freedom Network. So everybody that goes through deliverance, either in a mass session or personally

129
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,760
or through a Zoom call or whatever, we get all of their information and this actually launches in

130
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,640
March right around the same time the movie does. And so what we've started is this Freedom Network

131
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,880
where those that have gone through deliverance every week, they get materials on how to maintain

132
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,880
your deliverance. This is your devotional material. Here's what you can read this week.

133
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,920
This is the importance of fasting and praying. Find a good local church. If there's not one in

134
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,880
your area, here's people that believe like us. Here's deliverance ministries in your area. Or

135
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:01,280
here is a home that's willing to open up their living room or their garage for a Global Vision

136
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,520
live stream service so you can still be a part of us and what Pastor Locke is doing. And so we

137
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,680
started it as discipleship because a lot of people are like, well, let's get demons out of people and

138
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:14,480
then just leave them. No, that's just part of the process. You have to keep loving on them because

139
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,600
demons do consider our bodies, people's bodies, their house. So when they come out of that house,

140
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,840
if they don't find another place to go and that person does not close those doors to the occult,

141
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,400
break off those generational curses, they will come back and it will be worse for them in the

142
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:34,400
end than it was in the beginning. So we believe that deliverance is one piece of discipleship.

143
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,520
It's not the whole message, right? Jesus is the message. The gospel, the power of God and the

144
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,920
salvation is the message. But deliverance is part of that discipleship process.

145
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,200
Yeah. Pastor Locke, tell us about how we can watch this film in theaters.

146
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,000
Absolutely. March 13th is when it's officially going to drop. Fathom will be adding more days

147
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,680
and more locations as we continue to grow. Praise the Lord. We've actually already hit what they

148
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:05,600
call the golden number of tickets. Usually that number is not hit until the week of the release.

149
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:12,320
So we're still very much a month from the actual release and we hit ticket sales in six days. And

150
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:18,240
so there is a hunger for this type of subject, this type of material. So people are very excited

151
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,600
and so they can go to theaters. If they go right now to comeoutinjesusname.com, they'll see the

152
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:29,280
ticket link come up. They can just put in their address, their location, whatever, their zip code,

153
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:34,320
and it'll let them know the local theaters and understand as they're selling out, they're adding

154
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,920
more locations and more times because we have literally sold out theaters all over America.

155
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:46,400
It is remarkable to see just how bombastic this thing is right out of the gate. So we're a month

156
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,640
away from the movie and we're selling out theaters all over the nation because people are hungry.

157
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,040
They want to know. Even the haters are like, okay, what's this going to be about? It's going to be

158
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:00,960
life-changing. Yeah. So who are some other people that are in this film with you? Yeah. A lot of

159
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,480
the guys we call the demon slayers. You know, the internet kind of gave us that terminology.

160
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,680
Alexander Pagani, who's been on the show with you guys a number of times. I know Charisma Books

161
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:16,000
and Isaiah Saldivar, Vlad Savchuk, Daniel Adams, Mike Signorelli, Henry Schaeffer. And so then a

162
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,480
number of people from our church and from our staff and our team are in the movie as well. And so

163
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:29,680
it's a powerhouse. It's a great cast because a great arch in the movie is how me from my very

164
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,120
Baptist days got tied in to these other men that have been in deliverance ministry for a very,

165
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,160
very long time, much longer than me. And then how the Lord kind of baptized us in deliverance and

166
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,760
healing. And then we kind of came tip of the spear and we all came together. And now we're this team

167
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,360
that's locking shield and helping people understand the ministry of deliverance.

168
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:56,880
So it's almost like the kingdom Avengers, you know, we had the whole Marvel Avengers. We've got

169
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:04,000
our demon slayers as the kingdom Avengers here. But I'm excited about this film. Come out in Jesus

170
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,200
name available at theaters everywhere. Go to the link that we'll be providing in the description

171
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,280
here so that you can get your tickets and you can see where it's being played near you. And you can

172
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:21,360
go support this film and learn about what it means to really be delivered and bring a friend

173
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,240
because you never know. They might experience deliverance right in that theater. So be prepared,

174
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,720
be prayed up whenever you go to see this. One of the most interesting things about this,

175
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,680
if I can interject, this is on the night. Even if it goes later, it'll be prerecorded. If it goes

176
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,680
more nights, which we're praying and believe that it will, but on the first night, one of the

177
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,360
beautiful things on March the 13th is when the credits go up and it fades to black, Fathom is

178
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,720
allowing me to come in. I'll actually be in our, our big church tent by myself with a satellite crew

179
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,080
and I come in live for 30 minutes and I do a mass deliverance in every single theater in America

180
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,040
that's showing the movie. That's really cool. That is really cool. So you can't miss this.

181
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,720
Don't want to miss this right here. Uh, pastor Greg Locke, thank you so much for, uh, allowing

182
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,800
the Holy spirit to use you the way that you are and to make this film. I mean, investing in that

183
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:18,560
and just highlighting the move of the Holy spirit, highlighting deliverance and what Jesus is really

184
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:37,520
calling us to do and that you're doing that. So thank you very much. Thank you, my friend. God bless you.
