SID: I can’t wait to show you a recent video of my guest, Jessi Green. Let’s take a look.
JESSI: God showed me a vision of thousands of people being baptized in Huntington Beach and there were so many people being baptized that they had to turn around and baptize the person behind them. Jesus is the only one that can take death and turn it into life and so the question is, are you really living?

[inaudible] to be baptized for the redemption of your sins.
JESSI: Rise up and say, let me tell you about the hope that I have in Christ Jesus.
SID: Jessi. What was that?
JESSI: That is revival fire.
SID: You won’t settle for anything short. I want to take you to … They’re surprised, all of you. I want to take you to the end of Jessi Green.
JESSI: Yeah, back in 2009, I was living in New York City, I was working in the nightclub industry, dating a multi-millionaire, traveling internationally and just going after the things in the world. I had depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and in a moment of honestly, wanting to take my life. I screamed out to God in my Manhattan bedroom and I just-
SID: But wait, wait, you had everything. Look, if you watch television and see movies, she had everything that makes you happy, but you weren’t happy.
JESSI: No. And on the surface I looked like I was, I had celebrity friends, Louis Vuitton luggage, I had it all and yet, I would just come home, just crying and taking medication to just stop my crazy thoughts. I would see demonic forces in my room. I was so tormented. So I didn’t know what to do. I was crying one night and screaming out and I just said, “God, if you’re real, you have to take this pain away.” Then all of a sudden, all of New York City went silent and I was living in Midtown Manhattan, it’s never silent there. The peace of God fills my room and all of a sudden, I couldn’t cry. I tried to cry and I couldn’t cry. I could feel that God was in my room and actually, I was a little bit scared.
I put the covers over my head and I knew that God was there. I knew that He was real and I wanted to follow Him. I just said to God, I said, “If I can have a relationship with you, I will do anything to follow you. I’ll give up everything to know you.”
SID: Did you hear that? God is real. When I had my encounter with God. I went all the way with God. There was no compromise. It wasn’t 10% I’m going with you God, it was 100%. What happened with you?
JESSI: I did what any normal Christian would do. I quit my job, I sold everything that I owned and I went to an outdoor store with five inch stilettos on and I said, “I need a backpack. I’m going to travel the world as a missionary.” They were like, “Are you sure? You don’t look like the outdoorsy type?” I went around the world for a year living in Third World countries and I just wanted the real Jesus. I just wanted to know him, if he was real.
