Sid: I’ve got a man on the telephone that was so fearful he shook literally shook for 3½ he didn’t want to live, he had thoughts of killing his family, he could only sleep an hour a night. And one scripture set him free and he has got almost with a vengeance he wants to see people that have a spirit of fear set free. Now you’ve had more than your share of opportunities to be fearful even after you’ve been set free. For instance what about that time that guy was chasing you in an automobile?
Kris: Yeah that’s incredible you know what happened was we were talking the 8 graders on their 8th grade trip from a really small school and there was 8 of them in a van. And we were coming home from Santa Cruz, California. We stopped just to get some gas and when we pulled back on the freeway this guy pulled right next to us in a white Chevy pickup truck and he motioned us to pull over. And I’ll just give you the Readers Digest version of this he motioned for us to pull over and I started to pull over and as I got almost stopped I turned to look at him and his eyes were glowing red and I’m like “Whoa what is that?” And the Lord said to me just as we got stopped the Lord said to me “No one shall be harmed.” And I’m like “What does that mean?” And I felt like I was supposed to keep going and so I waved at him like that you very much because I thought he was pulling us over at first just to tell us that we had a flat tire or something. And we got back on the freeway and Sid for 45 minutes he tried to ram us, he tried to kill us, traffic was stopped on both sides of the freeway for miles. One time he tried…
Sid: You had some young children in there.
Kris: I had 8 – 8th graders in there. One young man got so afraid he tried to jump out of the window and 2 other young men one of them was my son they had to unbuckle their seatbelt and hold him on the floor because he was screaming “We’re all going to die, we’re all going to die.” At one point we’re on the freeway and this guy parked sideways on the freeway, got out of his truck and start running for the van. And one of the kids yelled “He’s got a gun, he’s got a gun.”
Sid: He really had a gun?
Kris: He didn’t. He turned out not they never found a gun on him.
Sid: But you thought he had a gun.
Kris: I thought he had a gun and so I waited until he got right to the van and I took off and he ran for his truck it must have been running and he put it in gear and he tried to ram us from the side. This went on for 45 minutes but the Lord gave me an incredible peace in fact this is going to sound strange I was so peaceful that I kept laughing. The kids were screaming.
Sid: That’s peaceful.
Kris: That’s peaceful I just…when the Lord said “There shall be no harm done to you.” You know when the Lord speaks to you Sid it brings a grace?
Sid: Of course.
Kris: It brings a power. There was this peace on me my wife was just screaming and yelling, “Oh he’s going to kill us, kill us.” And I just felt the incredible peace we drove we drove 110 miles an hour drown the freeway while he tried to ram us from the back, ram us from the side. We finally we past a highway patrolman on the highway on the right hand side and my wife screamed “There’s a highway patrolman stop stop” and she was yelling out the window at the highway patrol “The man’s trying to kill us.” And we pulled into the center lane six way freeway and we pulled into the center dirt lane and right in front of the cop right in front of the highway patrolman he tried to ram us right in the middle aisle and I was trying to stay close to the highway patrolman so I was driving back and forth in the middle aisle tying to keep him from hitting us and finally he jumps out of his car and I lost him. And he runs around the back and he gets his hand in the back door and gets the back door of the van open.
Sid: Hm.
Kris: And he’s hanging from the back door of the van and there was 3 girls in the back seat and they start screaming “He’s in the back, he’s in the back.” And so I started driving back and forth as fast as I could and he finally fell off the back. And I’m looking for the highway patrolman and I’m like “Where’s the highway patrolman, where’s the highway patrolman?” And I couldn’t see him and my wife’s screaming, the kids are screaming and there’s still one young man being held on the floor. And so I stopped for a minute and the guy gets the side door open and he gets his hand in the side door…
Sid: Wait I misunderstood I thought you shook him off.
Kris: I shook him off and he fell off the back and I stopped and as soon as I stopped he ran around the side and he got the side door.
Sid: Oh no!
Kris: And he gets his hand in the side door the girls are pounding on him trying to keep him out of the van.
Sid: Why did you stop?
Kris: Well the highway patrol was right there.
Sid: Okay.
Kris: I was waiting for the highway patrolman to get him. So I take off again…
Sid: This sounds like a made for TV special but go ahead.
Kris: (Laughing) I’m driving back and forth in the center lane and I’m like just giving him a real ride and finally he falls of the side and just as he falls off the side maybe 20 seconds go by and the cop I hear someone say “Stop or I’ll shot, stop or I’ll blow your head off.” And I’m like what “Oh good he’s got him, he’s got him.” So I’m still going back and forth back still slow just trying to make sure he doesn’t get on in the van. And all of a sudden I hear I, I, I see a gun right in my face and he says “If you move I’ll blow your head off.”
Sid: Who’s this the policeman?
Kris: The highway patrolman.
Sid: He’s after you?
Kris: He’s after me.
Sid: Why’s he after you?
Kris: Because my wife is yelling this guy’s trying to kill us, this guy is trying to kill us.”
Sid: So he thought it was you.
Kris: When the highway patrolman ran up the guy that was trying to kill us said to the officer he kidnapped my girl, he kidnapped my girl.
Sid: Oi vey.
Kris: So he grabs me so he grabs in out of the van I stopped the van I put it in park he opens the door he grabs me and throws me on the ground and he cuffs me from behind and he drags me around the van.
Sid: What’s your wife doing?
Kris: She’s screaming “You got the wrong guy you’ve got the wrong guy” and I get around the van and he’s already cuffed the other guy too. And so we’re both laying against the van and traffic now traffic stopped for miles both ways. Now highway patrolman, sheriff’s car, police cars they just surround us like a big wagon train. And the officer that arrested us they let him go and they started questioning us and they had all of the girls get out of the car because he said that we kidnapped his daughter. And the finally figured out that the guy was nuts. The next morning that was on a Saturday. Sunday morning 7:00 in the morning I get a call from the arresting officer and he said Kris and he said “Kris is this Kris Vallotoon?” And I said “Yes it is.” “I was the officer last night that arrested you” and he said “I haven’t slept all night his voice was real broken and shaky on the phone and he said “I’ve been on the force 20 years and I’ve never had anything like this happen before.” And he said “I pulled my gun out and I thought that you were a kidnapper.” He said “I squeezed the trigger I was going to kill you and a small voice said to me ‘Something’s wrong don’t pull that trigger.’ He said “I almost killed an innocent man” and he was weeping on the phone. And I said “You can pull the trigger but you wouldn’t have killed me.”
Sid: You really believe that Kris?
Kris: Yes yes.
Sid: It’s got to be so wonderful to be able to have so much trust in God that you don’t have any place for a spirit of fear there’s no place for it to rest in you.
Kris: That’s right. I told him I said “You could have pulled that trigger but you wouldn’t have killed me because the Lord Jesus said “There will be no harm done to you.”
Sid: Now this is not the first time that there’s been attacks on you. You’ve had some crazy person call and say “They were going to kill your children.” And what did you say to that person?
Kris: For a year I didn’t have l crazy person I had occult members calling me you could hear screaming and yelling in the background that they’d call me and they say that “Satan says that he’s going to get you.” And this is like 4 or 5 years after I got free.
Sid: Why were they after you?
Kris: Well you know why I knew they were after…you know why they were after me Sid?
Sid: Why?
Kris: Because they knew that I was freeing people that Jesus was using me to free people and that they wanted to keep me in bondage and if I would have believed them you know when they called me and they started “We’re going to kill your children, we’re going to molest your children we’re going to kill your wife.” When they started that on the phone immediately that fear would start to come back and I would start to get afraid. And I would spend the day just trying that thing off me. And finally the Lord said “This is an opportunity, this is not a problem this is an opportunity when they call you back I want you to witness to them.” So when they would call I would start telling them “Jesus He forgives you.”
Sid: Wait a second Kris wasn’t there just a tinge of fear they’re talking about killing you, your family, your children.
Kris: Remember where I came from Sid, remember that the Lord told me years before “They can’t kill you it’s an illusion.”
