Description:
In episode 762: Holy Spirit: God Within You, Tony is joined by author and evangelist David Diga Hernandez, whose life has been shaped by the Holy Spirit. From shadow figures and whispered voices to a warlock in his family line, David shares how generational darkness targeted him from childhood. But it was a hotel room prayer at age 11 that shattered the grip of fear and introduced him to the overwhelming presence of Jesus. What followed was a journey through spiritual deserts, battles with striving, and the discovery that the Holy Spirit isn’t earned—He abides.
Tony and David dive into the layers of deliverance, the deception of performance-based faith, and why Gen Z is being pulled between witchcraft and revival. This conversation cuts to the heart of spiritual warfare and reveals how true freedom comes not from formulas, but from surrender.
