Pastor Keith

The testimony you are about to read is a difficult testimony to share. Please proceed prayerfully and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

God had been calling me as a Pastor for many years, when multiple Christian people in my life kept giving me a word of encouragement, that God was going to use me to change lives. When I was first approached with this news, it was back in 2017 from a close friend, Pastor Rajesh. Back in those days, I was so lost in pornography that I was hiding everything from everyone. My entire life was a mask, as I walked with one foot in the church and one in deviant sexual immorality. My first encounter with pornography was at the age of nine, and what followed was 40+ years of porn use that grew darker and darker. The more I watched, the more lines I crossed into violent and depraved pornography.

My porn use left a devastating path of destruction in its wake and culminated in an FBI Raid on my home and workplace for pornographic videos I downloaded containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), back in 2021.​

The FBI took six months to finish their investigation, and I was arrested in January of 2023. Each file I downloaded carried up to 10 years, so I was facing 20 years in prison on two counts. I lost my job of over 20 years at the Post Office, and I thought I was going to lose my marriage and spend the rest of my days behind bars. My life was over.

These were the dark thoughts in my mind, but God wasn't done with me. When I was in jail, He told me I was going to have to tell my story to the world, without fear, and share the dangers of pornography because so many Christians are lost in that darkness. At first, I told God I couldn't do that, people would never understand, I would be an outcast or killed. Then He told me to write the book, which my wife titled Bunk 47. At the sentencing hearing, God showed great mercy on me, and I was sentenced to 3 years' probation. Six months later, I was done writing the book, and I began to share my testimony in public places and churches.

​As I stepped out in faith, more and more questions plagued me. One of the questions I needed to answer was how. How could I have arrived at a place as dark as child pornography? In 53 years, I never had any attraction to kids, so how? Then I looked back on my porn use of 40 years, and I clearly saw the trajectory. Not a path I chose, but more like a pipeline I was trapped in for many years. This was when the research began for my second book, The Devil's Pipeline.

If you have ever wondered why a person would be willing to throw away a marriage, a job, or their entire life over something like sexual images on a screen, then this book is a must-read. Here's a spoiler: Pornography was designed to take you to deeper, darker, and more depraved content over time. It literally changes who you are and how you think. If you are a casual consumer of any type of pornography, you have no idea the danger that lies ahead.

​​A year later, a Pastor came to my house to discuss Bunk 47, but when he arrived, he said he had a message from God to share with me. He said God was calling me to be a Pastor in his church. My first reaction was "You've got the wrong house! Don't you know what I've done?!" And his response was quick and simple: You can keep running from God or submit to Him, but I will be calling you Pastor Keith.

​The next week, I was the Men's Pastor of his church. Since that time, God has moved us to two other churches, one to learn some hard lessons on how NOT to run a church, and the last one, Holy Spirit Encounters Church, to learn the necessary aspects of spiritual warfare, deliverance, and how this is all tied to freedom from pornography and other besetting sins.

​It was during my time at HSE under the covering of Apostle Philip Peters that I learned deliverance was a critical part of the ministry of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 61:1). It was also during this period of time that God revealed to me the importance of a tree stump He had brought in our lives a year earlier. This tree stump would someday be the pulpit I would preach behind. God also gave me the name of the church I would build; The Carpenter's House, and the foundational scripture it would be built upon: Jeremiah 17:7-8.​​

​On March 28th 2025, I went through a three-hour private deliverance with Apostle Philip and his wife, Pastora Rosemarie. During that session, over 100 demons were cast out of me. They stopped counting at 100. If you are one of the countless Christians who were taught that a Christian "can't have" a demon, I would love to walk through scripture with you and show you how that concept is nowhere to be found.

​Since my deliverance, the enemy has been hard at work trying to tear everything in my life apart. The enemy never sleeps. This time the demons were trying to fill me with doubts about my calling and preparedness for the road ahead. On Monday August 11, 2025 God gave me my first prophetic dream. Four days later He gave me the interpretation. On that day I knew I could no longer postpone God's plan for my life. That same day my wife and I started planning for the launch of The Carpenter's House.
