Carlos Jiménez - Creating an Altar of Worship in Madison Square Garden

May 16, 202439 min read

Steve K.

y'all know that I come from New York City. Y'all know I grew up in Ukrainian village on 2nd Avenue, 9th Street, somewhere around there in the Ukrainian village. And I now live in the Netherlands, but my heart is New York. You could tell, just by the way I act, I'm from New York City. You could tell I'm from New York. You know what I'm saying? And my heart is New York, too. I still function like a New Yorker. I think like a New Yorker, whatever that means. We'll get into it. But I met this amazing, amazing man. His name is Pastor Carlos Jiménez, and he is creating, well, he's calling it the Altar of Worship at Madison Square Garden. Probably the world's most famous place, other than maybe Radio City Music Hall. But certainly in New York City, the garden is the place to be. It holds about 20,000 people, 19,000 people. It is in the center of New York City, friends. And he has decided through... You're going to hear this story. It's going to blow your mind. How God has called him to rent out Madison Square Garden and create an altar of worship during the summer. Welcome, Pastor Carlos. How are you?

Carlos Jiménez

Hey, thank you, Steve. Thank you for having me here together with you and with the people that in a way that they're going to listen to I'm so excited. I'm not from New York, but I love New York City. I've been here since 1995.

Steve K.

Wow!

Carlos Jiménez

So I love this city.

Steve K.

I don't live in this city anymore. I live in the farm on the Netherlands. It's very, very different from Manhattan. But there's something about that place. There's no other place like it. The tempo, the way people interact, the giant melting pot of, I think, 250 languages are spoken on that little island?

Carlos Jiménez

Yes.

Steve K.

It's unbelievable. And I want to talk about renting the garden, it's not like renting a U-haul truck or renting a room, a conference center for an event. This is a big deal. This is a big thing. And before we get into why, I want to Tell us the story of how you got on this road, how this started happening, because you have a miraculous story of how you got to this place.

Carlos Jiménez

Yeah, this is something that I was not even in my radar. It was not even in my mind. I was in this office that I'm right now doing this broadcast. I have a computer here and I was working. It was April 14th, 2014. I was here in my office. My son, my third one, he came jumping into the office and he opened the door and said, Papi, I got a dream! I said, What is your dream? He said, I want to go to the Madison Square Garden, and I want to see a basketball game with the Knicks. I go, Oh, that's no problem, my son. If it's your wonderful dream, I can take you. He said, But, Papi, the only thing is that the last game was today. So he laughed because he was very hyper. He was jumping. He just laughed and said, Oh, okay. So I went quickly into my computer and I went to the website, Ticket Master. And then when I went there, it say, Sold out. I said, Okay, I want to take him, but everything is sold out. It was a Tuesday days in the afternoon, like around three o'clock, I stand, I began to walk, and God told me, Don't tell him no, bring him into the Madison Square Garden. And that shocked me because I knew that everything was sold out. And then I heard the voice of God say, Take him, because I'm going to teach you something about a son and a father relationship. And that's how the journey begins. In a teaching or in a practical way, how God impact my life and the life of my generations. God is the God of generations. And how he was able to connect this experience to the heart, mind, and the fabric, the faith in my son and in my whole family. And that's how the tree began.

Steve K.

Just to put this, I want to give some context to this because this is what? The last game of the season?

Carlos Jiménez

Yes.

Steve K.

This is the last game of the season, New York Knicks, Madison Square Garden in the '90s. That's with Patrick Ewing, right? And all those guys still? So this is the peak of Knicksism, right? The New York Knicks. Last game of the season, trying to get tickets at the Garden for the New York Knicks already is a nightmare. But it's the last game of the season, and you're going there with your son, and really, you're being asked to walk on water. You're being asked to walk on water because normally you can go there, you get some tickets from scalpers, but not in this game. You can't do that. So tell me, are you thinking this is some crazy story? Were you afraid you couldn't live up to your son's expectations when you made this promise before you started walking?

Carlos Jiménez

What I began to do was to make an argument with God. I said, God, I'm a pastor. If you want to teach me something about a father and son relationship, you can teach me that. And I will definitely sit down with my kid and I will do it. But I heard like something resounding my spirit. You know what I mean? Everybody knows how God would speak to them. I have a way that I know when it's God. I know it's God.

Carlos Jiménez

And I felt my heart bumping like this, like you need to take him. So I obey. I say, I went down to the stairs. Okay, let's go. Let's eat so that we can have supper before we leave at five o'clock, and we're going to head to the Madison Square Garden. And my little one, the fourth one, he said, Oh, Papi, I want to come. So I got four kids, two were staying in the house. So we went all three to the Madison Square Garden. So I began to drive, and I knew in my mind, I said, This is sold out, so why I'm going? But I began just to praise God. Something that we did, it was very unique, because I was teaching in my church about the power of one accord. So when we were going through the tunnel, and I pulled my hands in the back, and I said, Let's put your hands together with me and let's pray together. And my son Benjamin said, Papi, we already prayed. But I said, You know the power of the agreement? When we come into an agreement with something? Let's pray now in agreement together. So he pray, I said, Father, here with my father, I'm so glad that he's taking me to the game of my dream, bla bla bla, in the name of Jesus. Boom. Then we got into the Madison Square Garden. Quickly, I rushed to the parking lot that is next to the Madison Square Garden. I paid $60. I never going to forget that. I said, I'm paying the toll- the Turnpike toll, the Holland Tunnel. I'm paying this parking lot, and now I know that everything is sold out. So I went running with them into the box and I told a lady: lady, would you please give me three tickets? And she looked at me, sir, go home, everything is sold. And I knew that. That's something- that didn't surprise me because I already knew that. So when I'm there, I say, God, why you brought me here?

Carlos Jiménez

I knew this. So the Madison Square Garden, for those who haven't been there, they have a nice lobby, and they have a big screen in the roof of the lobby. It's amazing to be there. If you've never been there, you're going to have a chance now to come July fifth, to come with us to worship. So the lady was going there and was packed of people. And it feels in a matter of moments, minutes, it's like everybody disappeared. Everybody went through the doors and got into the Madison Square Garden. And I'm there in the lobby, and in the middle of the lobby, there is a garbage can of this high. You know, those nice stuff with three holes, but with a dip inside, very nice one, but was full of garbage. And I heard the voice of God who told me, Go into the garbage and put your hand inside. I said, What? For me, it was shocking because that's when all the story began. I said, God-.

Carlos Jiménez

You know, I'm from Dominican Republic. It's a small town called Santiago, and I live in a little community called La Julia. It's like jewelry in English, but doesn't I can't have anything beautiful about jewelry. Nothing. La Julia is like the worst place. In a little place there with my grandmother and my mom, I said, God, I was raised poor. I know what is poverty. I know what is to eat one piece of bread with milk at night. But I never have placed my hand in a garbage can for looking for nothing. And I felt this thin sensation in my spirit, in my heart, the same way that when God told me, bring him into the Madison Square Garden here in my house. So I said, okay, I'm going to obey you, but I'm going to stand there. I don't want to say anything to my kids. I'm going to stand next to the garbage can. And what I'm going to do, I'm going to put my hands in the back. I'm gonna, whatever I grab, I'm not even gonna look into it. Whatever I grab, I'm going to bring it out and I'm going to obey, and that's it.

Carlos Jiménez

So I said to my kids, okay, let's go here. Let's see the screen. They said, well, Papi, Why are we going to do this? Let's just stand here with me. So I went like this, and when I pulled it out, it was two pieces of paper, eight and a half, with two tickets. When I saw that, I say, My goodness, what is this? In my mind, anybody who's been in the stadium, you can buy a ticket, they get a PDF file, you can print it out, I can print it out, we use yours, and then mine's garbage. Somebody put it there because they already use it. So I asked a lady that she was there. I said, Lady, do you know if these tickets are good? She said, The only way that you will know is if you go to the door. So I went running with my kids to the door. But remember, we have three. It's only two tickets. So it was a tall man. I think that was a German guy, 6 feet, 70 years old with a gun in his hand. And he go, What? And he scanned the first one and the light got green. That means that was good. So the one who told me that he want to come to the Madison, said, Oh, Papi, what I will do? I said, Get in. You got a ticket. Get in. So they scanned another one, and another one was green. And I told the other, I said, Get in.

Carlos Jiménez

Now, you imagine. I have one nine years old. The other was 12 years old. He's standing inside the Madison Square Garden. I'm the father with two minors inside, and I'm here with two tickets, but I don't have one to get in. And that was the beginning of the journey. It was so powerful.

Steve K.

Wait hold on? That's the beginning? That was a crazy beginning! What a crazy beginning. This takes making water into a wine to a whole new level. He took garbage into tickets. Go ahead. Keep going. But now your kids are in front of you. You can't get in.

Carlos Jiménez

I cant get in! So-.

Steve K.

I would feel like an irresponsible parent. I'd be like, What did I just do? What is wrong with me? What now?

Carlos Jiménez

Well, that was the point. I said, Okay, now I got $400 because I can buy a ticket for $400, $300. I don't mind. I only need one more ticket. So the leftover of the people that were coming in, I said, Do you have an extra ticket? They said, No. Do you have an extra? No. So I said, My goodness. And then there was a security camera in the top, and I saw a barn door. Those doors, boom, that you open like this. And a man came with a suit and said, What is going on? He was one of the supervisor. He said, I'm watching the camera and I'm seeing this man here at the door. He doesn't get in. And the other man said, Look, he has two kids inside and he's here now, but he doesn't have any ticket. And the man's looking at my face and he said, Sir, everything is sold out. Go home with your kids. But at that moment, Steve, this is something that I don't know how to explain it. You know, I went to Regent University there in Virginia to study. I did an MDF, all this theology that I have in my brain. Joseph Umidi, that you know he was one of my professors.

Steve K.

He's probably watching, by the way. Dr. Joseph's probably watching right now. Anyway, he's like-, Love that man. Love that man.

Carlos Jiménez

So I was like, In my theology, what I'm going to do? But I knew in that moment, when that happened, I felt right there. You know, when you go to a room that is dark and you go and you do the switch and you turn on the light? I felt in my spirit that the gift of faith was turned on in my spirit. I knew in that moment. When that person told me, Go home, I said, I knew that Something happened inside of me. And I looked like-, I said, I'm not going to go home. God is going to do something supernatural. I know that it was not when I found the tickets, but when I was at the door, that I was that I was sentenced to go home because I don't have a ticket. I knew in my spirit that something supernatural had took place right there. But now I feel the gift of faith stir up in my spirit. I said, I will not go home. I will stay here because I know that God is... I told my kids, Wait, God is going to do something. And you know what happened? No more than three minutes happened. The same guy that came through the barn door, he opened the door again. I said, Sir. I said, Yes, sir. He said, Here's your ticket. I said, Thank you, sir. He said, Don't thank me. Another door opened down the road, down the hall, and a man with a nice suit, tall with a briefcase. He said he's one of the owner, manager of the team. He decided to go home today, and he gave me his ticket, and I want to give it to you. I knew in that moment that the gift of faith was on. And that was the beginning, the second step for the beginning of the great journey that took place after that. And then three more miracles happened after that. But I just want to make it possible that you can react to this.

Steve K.

Okay. So what I love is that you actually took every act of faith- step that you take in an act of faith, God meets you, but it sets you up for the next miracle, right? So the first one is you go even though the tickets are sold out, right? That's faith. God then says, go into the garbage can. You pull tickets out, and they work. Massive faith. Then you send your kids in first. That is incredible faith! I mean, y'all this is New York City, right? This is not someplace in Idaho or some nice... This is New York, y'all. And he sends his kids through. And what I love is you stand. And faith even came up even more when the man said, go home. You said a switch came on. Boom. No. God's going to do something. And then three minutes later, you get owner's seats, which I got to ask, were they courtside?

Carlos Jiménez

A courtside ticket.

Steve K.

What!!

Carlos Jiménez

That was the next step. I said, now I have a courtside ticket and my two kids on the second floor. I said, how can I send those two minors alone? And the Holy spirit, I feel faint. I said, you know what? I told my son, I looked at his face, Let's go up, because the only seat that is empty in the whole stadium, Benjamin, is the one that is next to you. So we were running. I feel the presence of God because it was so powerful. I went running there. And when I got there, I sat my son and other son, and I said, there was a seat next to him that was empty, and there was a lady next to that. I said, maybe her boyfriend is buying popcorn. I don't know what it is. But I touched her back and said, Man, do you know if this seat is empty? And she looked at me, Steven, smiling. And she said, Sir, this is the only seat that is empty in the whole stadium? I knew in that moment. Oh, speaking in tongues, ah I'm sorry, I just-.

Steve K.

Oh, speaking in tongues. This is amazing. I'm getting so stirred up. That's the whole point of the interview. Friends, breathe this in. This is a real impartation here.

Carlos Jiménez

speaking in tongues

Steve K.

Oh! So, now you and your three kids and you're together watching a sold out New York Knicks game.

Carlos Jiménez

Three.

Steve K.

The only empty seat was next to your kids. That to me is-, how far ahead did God plan this out for you?

Carlos Jiménez

How can you orchestrate something like that?

Steve K.

No. I mean, think about how He's got to put all the strings to get this to work. And He did it for you. Like you. He knows you. He knows your kids. And He set this whole thing up for you. To me, I'm in I'm like, wow! And then the second thing I think is, what is it about you? What's going on with you, man? That God is laying His hands. So what happens? How does this turn into what you're doing now? What happens?

Carlos Jiménez

Well, a few more miracles happened that day.

Steve K.

Oh, that wasn't enough? You have more coming! Keep going.

Carlos Jiménez

Yea, well. That was simple, but we went out at halftime, and there was something so unique. I tell my kids, buy whatever you want, because we haven't spent any money on tickets. So when we purchased everything, there was a young man, 17 years old, African-American. He looked at me and said, Sir, for you today, everything that you have consumed is free.

Steve K.

What?! What!?

Carlos Jiménez

So now got the attention of my kids, and my kid looks at me, Papi, What is going on?

Steve K.

Yeah, what is going on?

Carlos Jiménez

Because now they have the evidence of what is taking place. And it was nine seconds before the end of the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks are losing for two points. When something happened, they pulled the ball, And then it's tied. And then they gave the... No, I think that was... I don't remember the detail, but they won the game because J. R. Smith, for three, he throw the ball, he went out of the court and got three. And with that three point, they won the game. So it was tight, nine seconds. And I think that he, with the three point, they won the game. Because I pray to God, say, God, how I'm going to bring my kid to the game of his dream, and they're going to lose. They cannot lose today after all these miracles. So God grants us that. And you know what happened? When that happened, I stand like this, praising God, and I heard the voice of God, so clear in my ear, and He said, The same way that you have experienced these five miracles at the Madison Square Garden, I'm going to bring the church together with you, and you're going to experience the same thing here with the whole church, bilingual, all nation, all tribes together in one place and in one accord. And that's what I heard the voice of God, and that's how I begin this journey.

Steve K.

Wow. Wow. A couple of things that amazed me about this story, really about you, is I would have been happy with... I got all this free stuff. I got in for free. I actually got a courtside seat, but I could sit with all my kids. You, you found- what I love is you boldly came before God and said, Hey, they've gotta win because I brought my kids here. I would have been like, I've got enough. This is good enough. But your faith is like, it's Hebrews. It's 'boldy come before the throne of grace.' You just said, God, wait, you brought them here. You're not going to leave them disappointed. They gotta win. And the Knicks win! That, to me, is mind boggling. And then on top of that, He speaks to you clearly, which is interesting because you didn't say he spoke to you clearly in the garbage can. He didn't say he spoke to you clearly to go to the Knicks game. You didn't say He spoke to you clearly about all this other stuff, which means that He spoke to you-. There was a way of listening because of all the miracles that had happened just in front of you. I think your faith had opened your ears and God just spoke. Because if He had said, You're going to go to Madison Square Garden from your office, you'd be like, Yeah, okay, whatever. He said, This is how it's going to happen. And So then you hear this, and then this is 2014?

Carlos Jiménez

Yes.

Steve K.

You hear this, the Knicks game's over, everything about the story is miraculous. But how do you begin? Or are you doubting, did I really hear that? Is it not emotionalism? I'm all emotional with the game. Did I not hear that for myself? Walk me through this process because this is important because not everyone would do what you did.

Carlos Jiménez

No. You know what happened? In that moment, I felt that the switch of the gift of faith turned off. Boom. And I knew that what happened to me was not for that moment. So I said, okay, I'm going to be quiet. I tried before the pandemic, in 2019, the pandemic came, they closed the door. And I said, God, but now during the pandemic, I begin to pray like never before. Like never before. Spend 9 hours, 12 hours in prayer, nonstop, nonstop, nonstop. I was like, we did ask for... We're still doing it until today. We spent more than three years with our non-stop in prayer. And I- you know, it was like just so much prayer. During that moment of the pandemic and that time of prayer and intercession, I felt the switch to turn up again. They say, This is the time. And in 2021, I began to do the journey, and I began to follow, say, God, what are you going to do? And then after the pandemic, somebody invited me to go to Florida, to Naples, around Naples there, to a conference.

Carlos Jiménez

And I said, my wife, I told my wife, I said, Let's go, because we've been like two years without traveling anything. Let's go to Florida. Let's go and preach. And then, okay, we wear the mask in the airplane. I don't care. But let's go. I know that in Florida, they don't have that regulation. So we went, and when we were returning back, our flight was was delayed. And I found a guy there that he knew me. He said, Pastor, when are you going to do another event? And I said, God told me to do something at the Madison Square Garden, but I don't know. I don't have any connection. I've been trying. I sent an email, nobody answered me. He said, I got the person for you. Because he was at the airport because his flight got delayed too. So I bumped into somebody that I was not looking for, in Naples, Florida. He was doing a tour with Juilo Iglesias' son, Enrique Iglesias. I said, I'm stuck here, but I knew that was God to have that encounter. So he gave me the connection of that person. That person gave me a date. We began to say, Well, when you want the date? 2024. It was only in July 15, 2023, when I have the email and the letter saying, Here is the date. We have one day for you next year. That was last year. And you need to come with $150,000 down payment in 15 days, two weeks, if you want the contract. And that's the only day that we have for Friday for next year. Do you want it or not?

Carlos Jiménez

I knew because there was only one day. Like there was one seat that was empty. And I knew God told me, I'm going to do the same miracles. I found a guy, that was not in the garbage, but was at the airport. I wasn't looking for him. I found a day and this is how the process began. This- everything has been with miracle. And God told me this, this began with miracle. This is going to start with miracle, your connection with the Madison Square Garden. And this is going to end with a miracle. Because to tell you the truth, I don't have all the things that I need. It's in less than a month. A month and two weeks, I don't have everything that I need for that moment. But I'm just walking in faith that everything is going to take place before July fifth. And you know what happened? This is another miracle. I don't know if somebody needs a miracle right now, a finance miracle, but this is something- I'm going to release something right now. And you need to respond to this because this is in faith. Because God told me that whatever he has placed, that gift of faith is going to be released every time that I speak about this. God told me, you need to go to the Hispanic community. And you need to ask them for the down payment because I want to break the curse of poverty in your community. That mentality, that mindset that we don't have, that we need to go to the Anglo churches, we have to go to the big people to get the money. God said, don't ask for money. For that, that $150,000 had to come with the Hispanic community. And after that, you're going to open the door to the Anglo world. I opened the door to the Anglo world, but I haven't been able... Until this point, it's been good, but it's not been what I expect that it will take place. So I remember Pastor P, your spiritual father.

Steve K.

My spiritual father, yes.

Carlos Jiménez

When I was in the process, they gave me two weeks to get the money. I said, no, give me one month. I will bring the 150-. I didn't have anything, but I sent an email, I'm going to bring you $150,000he in August, the 15th, give me one month. They gave me the one month, August, 2023. So Pastor P. called me and he said, Pastor, I heard that you're going to do something in the Madison Square. Because he have a such a desire for New York City. I don't know this guy, he said, I love the city. I want to do something. He said, How much do you need? And for his surprise, I said, I don't need anything from you, Pastor P. He said, What? I said, I got an evangelistic ministry that they want to come to New York. They want to come to the Madison. They are willing to give me all the money for the whole entire project. I said, I don't need anything right now because God told me that the seed money have to come for the Hispanic community.

Steve K.

Wow! So- wait a minute. So my spiritual father, who just recently passed, he calls you last year in the summer and says, Pastor Carlos, whatever you need, you tell me, we're going to cover it. And I think I would have said, No, I'll take it. But you said, no, it's got to come from the Hispanic community because we're going to break the curse. Again, what a radical step in faith, Pastor Carlos. I'm not kidding. I think this meetings for me. I'm getting blown away by the level of faith that you're having. You say no, and you say, I got to get from the Hispanic community. So what happens then? Obviously, you got it because you're here, but how does that happen?

Carlos Jiménez

Well, I began to call pastors because God said, call pastors. So August 14th, one day before, I got $75,000. And I have $25,000 in promise. But it was 150 for the next day. I said, What I'm going to do? So I wake up that morning. That was August, Monday, the 14th. And I begin to pray. And I said, God, you know what? I heard somebody who say that when the African people in Africa, they have a need, they don't raise their hands to the heavens. They speak to the Earth. And I woke up that morning, around 6:00, and before my bed right there, I said, Earth belongs to God. Like, Psalm 24. And I began to speak and I said, I need to complete this money by tomorrow, three o'clock. I need to be at the Madison. And I said, God, if you don't do it, this is not going to happen. So I went running that morning, and a voice of God again came to me because you need to be in tune because he's going to give an instruction in one way. He said, Call, and he gave me a name. I said, But he's not a pastor.

Carlos Jiménez

He said, Call him. I knew right away because I feel the same. The same thing that I've heard in my heart. Boom, boom, boom. And I'm going to text him, Hey, are you available right now? I just want to make a phone call to you. I haven't spoke with him for more than seven years. And he said, Oh, yeah, I'm When I'm home, I'm drinking coffee right now, I'm having breakfast, I call me. So I call him right away. When he answer the phone, and this is the key, I don't know, just hold on. You need to hear this, what happened, because this is going to blow your mind, and it's going to give an impartition of faith. Because when I called this man, he said, I'm shaking. I said, But why are you shaking? Because I haven't told you anything. I said, You don't need to tell me, and I'm going to tell you why you're shaking when you finish. So I went through the whole story that I share with you right now, and I make... I silent myself and he said, You know what? Are you sitting down?

Carlos Jiménez

I'm running in the street right now. He said, Look a place that you can sit down. So I found a house with a concrete wall. So I sat down there. I said, I'm not only sitting, I'm holding the concrete right now. Tell me what is going on. He said, I send you a picture right now. So when I looked the picture, said, October 2002. This is 21 years ago. That was 2023. I said, Why are you sending me something about... I said, Continue reading. And then I said, Oh, that was your journal, prayer journal, Diario de Horación. I don't know how to say that. That's how you say it in English?

Steve K.

Yes.

Carlos Jiménez

Prayer journal, okay. That was his personal prayer journal, and he got a word from God October 2002, 21 years ago. And you know what it said there? One day Carlos Jiménez and his wife, they're going to call me because they're going to do something massive in New York City. You know Steve, what I told him? Hey, why you didn't tell me anything? He said, Because God told me that you would call me.

Steve K.

Woah!?

Carlos Jiménez

I was waiting for 21 years for this call. I said, What? He said, That's why I'm shaking because I know that this call is from God. And you know what he told me? And God told me January 1st, 2023, to make a check and leave it in blank. And you know what? I was in a prayer, Virgil, and one old lady from my church touched me in my arms in July that she said, you know what? You've been praying for New York City. The revival that you want to see in your city is in movement right now. And he said, This is why I'm shaking. I see you tomorrow at one o'clock. I changed my hat and bang. And he sent me the address. I'm going to complete whatever is going to miss for this event to take place. So this is what God told me, because I had to say two things. This is what God told me. Every time, listen to me. Every time that God call you to do something, the provision has been depart before the assignment.

Steve K.

Wow. Wow.

Carlos Jiménez

And this is how I said, God, show me this. He said, You remember when Joseph was ready to be sold by his brothers? The Ismaelites, they had to depart three months before to have that encounter at the same time at the same hour to purchase Joseph to be taken to Egypt. Because God was preparing the whole journey of Joseph to receive the greater triumph of wealth that humanity has seen in history. And I believe, speaking in tongues I believe that something great is going to take place in the last day, that is going to happen the same thing. God is going to... You know, everything that  happened to Joseph. He was a steward. He was in a house as a servant. He was in jail. He was betrayed by his brothers, but there was one time... You see, everything that he did was the same thing. He was in that house. He was managing. When he went to jail, he was managing. Everything that he was doing, it was the same thing, but was when the time came, God elevate him, not only to manage and to store his father's household money, but the wealth of the nations.

Carlos Jiménez

And I think that we are in the blink. I don't know when it's going to take place. Something is going to supernatural-. It's going to break the system that we have right now. It's going to be a collapse, and something is going to take place. But this is what I don't want to sidetrack, but I just want to insert that because I feel in my spirit that every time that guy called you to do something, the money is there. Before. Because that was 2014, that guy spoke to me about the Madison Madison Square Garden. 2002, God spoke to this man to give me money. So it was 21 years before the money was ready for me to go into the Madison Square Garden. And to tell you a long story short, that guy, he gave me $125,000 there that morning. That day, he transferred at one o'clock, at three o'clock, I was at the Madison Square Garden with $150,000 check, giving the deposit with a contract. And now that's where I am right now. I'm waiting now for three more miracles that needs to take place in the few days. They gave me threats. You know, If you don't come with a ticket with the money, we're going to cancel everything. I got a meeting by Monday with them. But I'm in peace because I know if it got brought to now, somebody that along the line is going to bring whatever it is. God is going to move people to bring and to complete what he began with me.

Steve K.

Amen. And we believe, I believe, we at Cast Your Nets 100% fully support you in any way possible. And what I want everyone to do now is to just scroll below the video, and there's a link here. And And you can buy tickets. Even if you're not going, buy tickets, give it to somebody. Or maybe God's putting it on your heart to be part of the next miracle, which is to come up with the balance of this. It's about what? 300,000 or so?

Carlos Jiménez

No, it's less now. God did another miracle along the way.

Steve K.

Still, we want to have the best production possible. We want to be able to follow up with everyone coming in. Tell me the vision for the day itself. What's happening? Is it an evening event? Is it just worship? Is there preaching? What is this like?

Carlos Jiménez

Yeah, it's going to be beautiful. If somebody want to give every money that comes in, I'm going to buy ticket. I'm going to distribute that into the churches that people that don't have, Hispanic, whatever. I'm going to do that.

Steve K.

Amen.

Carlos Jiménez

So it's not something... It's going to go straight to the bank.

Steve K.

100% of everything you guys give goes to the event. 100% of everything goes to this event. I love this. Keep going.

Carlos Jiménez

So This is what it's going to happen. What I envision that is resounding my spirit is God wants to bring people into one place and to one accord. When you began the-

Steve K.

Broadcast.

Carlos Jiménez

When we began the broadcast, you say, this is the most famous stadium of the whole world. You know how the people from the world they say that is the center of the universe. I didn't know that until now. So when they said, Where are you going? Oh, I'm going to the center of the universe. And I'm saying, We're going to go to the center of the universe to worship the one who created the universe.

Steve K.

Amen. Amen. So it's a worship evening.

Carlos Jiménez

It's going to be a worship, an encounter. God said, I'm going to assemble the corporate sun there. We're going to be in one accord and in the one place at the same time, because we can be in one accord. We are in one accord, but you are in Europe. I'm here in New Jersey. We are not in the same place. But when those two things come together in one accord and in one place, it's a moment that the vessel that is assembling in that moment, the corporate church, it's an opportunity that God can bring something and put out something that is going to be permanent into this region. I'm believing that something supernatural is going to ignite because all this miracle is not for nothing. It's something God is about to do. You know what they told me? The Madison Square, God said, Oh, we want to give it a small theater. No, he said, No, the miracle didn't happen to me there. The miracle happened in the big theater. If I go to the small theater today, everything is pay off. But I don't going to need faith. No more, no more faith. And I'm going to stop God from doin more miracles. And I will never do that. I will go to the end, and I'm going to believe God that God is going to move people to join together with us to do this in the name of Jesus.

Steve K.

For those of you who've never been to Madison Square Garden, inside Madison Square Garden, there's a smaller theater, I think maybe 3,000, 5,000 people. It's called the Paramount Theater. And you can have smaller shows, smaller venues there. And he can pay for that right now. But that's not what God has called him to do. I love your faith, man. I love it. I love it. I need it. I need more of it. Friends, we should be supporting this. Let's be part of the solution. Let's support this. Let's buy tickets. Let's make donations. You can contact us at admin@castyournets.net. If you want to make a sizable donation, we can connect you directly with Pastor Carlos. If you want to buy tickets for yourself or someone else, I'm going there with my wife and my family, actually my wife only, on July fifth. I will be there. I'm coming to New Jersey in a couple of weeks also. I'm going to be talking about this, believe it or not. Actually, tomorrow, I'm speaking to a pastor about this. I'm talking with a pastor in New Jersey about this.

Carlos Jiménez

I believe that the Pastor P's Church, I don't have a connection with it, but they need to... His heart was to give an offering. They need to give an offering. I don't know what amount they can give, but they need to do something as a church, because I believe that that's what's in God's heart for Pete to do. But I don't know them, so I just lost connection with them.

Steve K.

I believe something's going to happen. Pastor Peter, my spiritual father, worked on Wall Street and led a church as a pastor, discipled people like me. And he told me, When I want to go to Bible school, him and Pastor Trisha, they said, We need people like you, not in Bible school. We need people like you on Wall Street with me because it's so dark there. And he had this love. He's done worship right at Times Square, worship with his guitar, just worshiping in the middle of Times Square. I believe something's going to happen for our community here, y'all, your churches, you guys are leaders. If you want to connect with Pastor Carlos, if you want to participate in this initiative, and there's God all over this, right? There's God all over this. If you got something in your heart, you can connect this admin@castyournets.net. We will connect with you. You can even email me directly, steve@castyournets.net. But more importantly, click the link, get the tickets, start buying some tickets, start telling people about this event in Madison Square Garden, the center of the universe. Pastor Carlos, I'm looking forward to seeing you when I come into New Jersey in a couple of weeks, and I'll probably give you a call tomorrow after my meeting with this other pastor.

Steve K.

We are for you. We honor you. We bless you. We've gotten beaten up in the spirit of God. Coming alongside you, I don't care. It just gets me more excited. It gets me more excited to know that so much aggression from the enemy has come upon our organization the moment I said, Well, I'll do a pastor, P. D. Juan. He's my spiritual father. I'm going to jump in there. But we are for you. We are for this. Lord, we want this to happen. We want a revival. We want your presence to come in Madison Square Garden. We want to break the spirit of poverty over the Hispanic community, over the African-American community, over the people in New York City. There's a lot of poor people there, believe it or not.

Carlos Jiménez

Yes.

Steve K.

Bless this man, Father. God bless this man. And y'all be blessed by getting tickets and donating to this. Shalom to you, Pastor Carlos. God bless you. And I will talk to you tomorrow. I'm going to text you after my meeting. Thank you for coming and sharing your testimony.

Carlos Jiménez

No, thank you.

Steve K.

This is recorded now. I think about how many thousands of people will be blessed hearing your testimony. How many people will get the impartition of faith as a result of your testimony? So thank you very much. God bless you.

Carlos Jiménez

Thank you, Steve. And we will have another set of this because there is more miracle that is going to happen in your life.

Steve K.

Yes, there's three more!

Carlos Jiménez

I'm believing it.

Steve K.

So am I. Praise God.

Carlos Jiménez

Thank you. Thank you, Mark. Bye-bye.
