Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Mission: Serving Traumatized Children

• Whispering Ponies Ranch & Royal Family Kids Camps focus on children who are wards of the state, many of whom have suffered severe abuse and neglect.
• Will Johnson’s leadership emphasizes deep spiritual warfare and dedication: "From the prayer circles to the strategies to the intercessory prayer, from the oiling of doorknobs, this man takes the spirit realm more seriously than maybe anybody I've ever met." (Joe, 00:34)

2. Facing Real-Life “Goliaths” (01:10–03:50)

• Campers battle traumatic pasts likened to Biblical giants:
  “They have real Goliaths. The ones that held them down at night and said, don't tell anybody. The ones that tortured them and said, no one should know. Keep it in the family. The generational curses that were passed on from father to father to father to children, we break them at this camp because we know that's where the warfare is at.” (Will, 01:16)
• A vivid lesson: A ten-foot-high Goliath was built to accompany the David and Goliath Bible story, helping kids physically and spiritually confront their “giants.”
• Deep ministry moments: “At that time, the presence of the Holy Spirit came in very strong to do warfare for these kids.” (Will, 02:21)

3. The Power and Necessity of Intercessory Prayer (03:50–04:24)

• Prayer over programs: “This is won by prayers, not by money, because only God can fix them.” (Will, 04:20)

4. Heartbreaking Testimonies and Stories of Transformation (01:50–03:33; 05:11–06:47)

• Abuse revealed: Will recounts a harrowing story of a child with scars misattributed to chickenpox, which were actually from BB gun shots inflicted as “discipline.” (Will, 02:39)
• Generational cycles are confronted and broken at camp: “We’re breaking the generational curses off, to say no more. They have a voice. It doesn’t have to be repeated.” (Will, 03:18)
• Transformation radiates outward: “The mother that went wayward and abandoned six—she had two sets of twins—found Christ through the children who were so radically changed... she is sober and drug-free for over a year and a half now.” (Will, 05:25)
• Ripple effect: Social workers and even other children are impacted and drawn to Christ by witnessing the transformations.

5. Empowering Children Spiritually (05:47–06:46)

• Equipping children with spiritual discernment and authority:
  “Do you know the difference between Jesus’ voice and a demonic voice? And at this camp they get to know that difference and that changes them and they change other kids and they change whole societies, including their social workers.” (Will, 05:47)
• The camp experience is intimate and impactful—likened to “Navy SEALs” training for faith: “So it will always stay small. Imagine the Navy SEALs versus the military. That is what this camp is, is the Navy SEALs.” (Will, 06:48)

6. Scriptural Foundation and Continuing the Mission (07:14–07:29)

• Will references the biblical mandate for caring for orphans as “pure” religion: “This is a ministry which was the only one in the Bible outside of widows that God said is pure to go after these children.” (Will, 07:14)

Transcript

[A]

Hey, everybody, it's Joe Artis Horne. I'm out here at the beautiful Whispering Ponies Ranch with one of my all time favorite Royal Family kid coordinators, the one and only Mr. Will Johnson. Now, for those that have followed this ministry, you've heard me talk about this man many, many times as I've traveled the nation. I've brought him up several times at conferences when I've talked about one of the men that I've learned a lot from in terms of the spiritual warfare aspects of what goes into reaching some of the kids that we serve here at Whispering Ponies Ranch. They come in, they're shut down, they've been abused. These are kids that are wards of the state. Many of them have suffered atrocities that normal people coming up in reasonably healthy homes can't even fathom. And Will man, from the prayer circles to the strategies to the intercessory prayer, from the oiling of doorknobs, this man takes the spirit realm more seriously than maybe anybody I've ever met. So first, I love you. Any memories that popped out this week as we're now closing out the last day of what was a beautiful week of camp. Any thoughts that you want to share with our audience or the people that help support this ministry?

[B]

You have no idea what you're supporting. Honestly, you have absolutely no idea. We covered David and Goliath this week. They have real Goliaths. The ones that held them down at night and said, don't tell anybody. The ones that tortured them and said, no one should know. Keep it in the family. The generational curses that were passed on from father to father to father to children, we break them at this camp because we know that's where the warfare is at. It's in the deep, dark night. And so I decided to make a ten foot high Goliath. That's roughly how tall he was. And then we did the David story. And while they were talking, we popped it up in the back of the room. They did not know they were hearing the David story. And then they started yelling, you know, how dare you mock my God. And David. They turned around and there was this enormous soldier, ten foot high. And they all started yelling at the top of their lung, how dare you mock my God? Not our God. And then David threw his stone and we triggered it and it actually came down with a very large stump. At that time, the presence of the Holy Spirit came in very strong to do warfare for these kids. I do not know what Goliath they were dealing with, but I'll Tell you a story that I've told other people. You know when you see a kid and you ask them, you know, what's that little scar on you? Well, I did that once and I will never do it again. It looked like they had chickenpox, the little girl and her brother. And I asked him, I said, well, you had some pretty rough chickenpox. Because I could see it on their arms later. I could see how extensive it was. And they said, no, that's not chickenpox. My dad disciplined me with a BB gun. Yeah. And as they were squeezing the bpm, if they cried, he shot him again. We can't tell you in 20 years the stories we have, but we have ones that change us from the inside out. I have no idea what that dad did or what their dad did to him, but we're breaking the generational curses off to say no more. They have a voice. It doesn't have to be repeated. Royal Family has been established for 40 years.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it has shown that these stop with these kids coming. And so thank you for having them face their Goliaths that we don't ask them about. Only God can come in and clean that closet out. And we make sure that God has every chance. He can. Yeah. Through the Holy Spirit, which is the only one that can hold them in those dark places. Thank you for your effort, your time and your prayers. This is won by prayers.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

Not by money, because only God can fix them.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

Yeah, that's right.

[A]

Well, Will, thank you.

[B]

You're welcome.

[A]

I love this guy very much. I have such gratitude to you and your wife, Kelly, for doing this year after year after year. Will was one of the camps that I actually went to to serve alongside in 2024, when we lost our insurance here and we ended up at our good friend Tom C's place, Camp Eagle Rock. And I went in and just from day one, they're oiling the doorknobs. They're declaring it to be holy ground. So before these kids even arrive, we've got friends like Gregory Reed watching this. They're going to know exactly what I mean. But we just thank you for your support. If you want to help stand in the gap for a child, you can visit skywatchtv.com there's a link at the top where you can see more about what we do here at Whispering Ponies Ranch. One more time. Thank you, Will.

[B]

You're welcome. And he's asked me to give him testimonies. I have over 20 years. We have had just recently a group that's in here that were so changed that the. The mother with that went wayward and abandoned six.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Matching twins. Okay. So there were six of them. She had two sets of twins. Found found Christ through the children who were so radically changed. And she's given her life to Christ and she is sober and drug free for over a year and a half now.

[A]

So I heard that.

[B]

So it does not just affect the children.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We've had social workers that saw children change so drastically that they came to Christ because once they face their demons, and I mean demons. And they've been set free because we've given them the power and authority in Jesus name to tell that voice to shut up. And I mean we send them out with a sword in the power of Jesus name. They don't have to know the bible verses. They just have to know Jesus. Do you know the difference between Jesus voice and a demonic voice? And at this camp they get to know that difference and that changes them and they change other kids and they change whole societies, including their social workers. Yeah. So thank you for funding something that you cannot compare to any other camp. We cannot make it bigger because we need the intimacy. So it will always stay small. Imagine the Navy SEALs versus the military.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

That is what this camp is, is the Navy seals. There's only a few of them that are cut out of it. Out of the. What is it, 30? No, I think it's 23, 000 that go every year. Just in the u. S. They're one out of 12, 500 Christians that could go. So we are at the number of way below Navy seals. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And this is a ministry was which was the only one in the Bible outside of widows that God said is pure to go after these children. Yep. And you know what? We are.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

I couldn't have said it better. Guys. We'll keep posting for the rest of the summer. We're about midway now, but we'll keep you updated every week. Love you guys.

[B]

Bye.
