Young Bull: The Church Infiltrator

When I was pastoring a church in South-East Baltimore I was approached by a young man who appeared to be Christian.  We will call him “Young Bull,” a young white boxer who grew up inner-city South-East Baltimore (Highlandtown).  At first he said and did all the right things.  My human heart wanted to believe in his sincerity, but something wasn’t right about him in my spirit.  After all, (Item #1) he came bearing gifts for the pastor (me), he volunteered to do (#2) work at the church, and I ended-up (#3) spending a lot of time with him.  I felt it was my job to spend time with this guy, listen to him and pray for him because that’s the “pastorly” thing to do, right? 

Very early in our relationship he began to share stories about his life.  His father was a DMI gang member (Dead Man Incorporated – look-up how this gang started in the Baltimore City prison system and grew to most major prisons and cities across the United States funded by drug trade and murder for hire) and he never saw him much.  His current girlfriend was a DMI Diamond (he didn’t tell me this, I found out).  He was an inner city pro-am boxer until he was attacked and beat with iron rods which ended his career.  He became a drug dealer and a drug abuser.  He had been stabbed and shot multiple times.  But the story that made me walk away from him so he wouldn’t see me cry was how he was brutally raped every day by his mother’s boyfriend and the men he would call over to do so in his mother’s basement while she was at work.  She rejected his story and denied this to be happening, so it continued until he was an early teenager.

As I spent more and more time with Young Bull I realized he didn’t always have the same personality.  Sometimes he was childlike, like a 10 or 11 year old, sometimes aggressive and powerful acting, and etc.  My later studies, years after knowing him, caused me reflect on his rape.  He might have been the victim of Satanic Ritual Abuse, his mother probably knew about it, and as a result of the trauma (of this and many more things we haven’t discussed here) he was split into multiple personalities. 

I also later learned that he fit the exact profile of a church infiltrator for witchcraft/Satanism.  His MO was to gain access to churches and destroy them from within.  Russ Dizdar from Shatter the Darkness.net says that most church splits are a direct result of witchcraft/Satanism.  These infiltrators are taught to fake conversions, seek friendships with pastors and elders through (see above Item #1) bearing gifts (charged with spells), to volunteer to do work at the church and get close to the staff (#2), take up a lot of the pastor’s time so he is unable to do the real work of the ministry (#3), spread gossip and rumors (which he did.  He caused problems in our fellowship), cast demonic spells in and on the church and the pastor all for the purpose of destroying the holy gathering in Jesus name. 

This is how I later came to the realization that he was never saved.  When I took him to my home, my wife and I prayed deliverance over him.  He truly received deliverance and was a different man.  I warned him (thinking he was a Christian), not to go back to the things we prayed against and warned him about what Matthew 12 says. He lasted a couple weeks, was doing great, then he disappeared.  I didn’t hear from him for a while, then all the sudden, I received a weird call from him out of the blue.  His statement (no conversation) was something like this in another personality I had never heard him use before; “You were right.  They have come back, and they have come back with a vengeance.”  He then hung-up. 

Like a year later, I approached his mother on the street (not a Christian and never came to church).  I asked her how Young Bull was and that I hadn’t seen him in a while.   She told me he needed help and that he began worshiping Thor – The Norse god Thor, of whom the comic book character exemplifies.  I never believed her display of concern about him, which mirrored what he said about her response to his claims of rape.  I don’t know if Young Bull EVER stopped his occultist worship, whatever the form.  I never saw him again.  Russ Dizdar also teaches that once an occultist is exposed to the church, they disappear.
