Sid Roth

RICHARD: Well Pentecost is one of the Feasts of the Lord, and in every Christians’ favorite book of the Bible. Leviticus [laughs], you know.

LARRY: [laughing] Yeah; yeah, yeah, yeah.

RICHARD: But I really. that’s. actually the Book of Leviticus is the mother lode of the Gospel in what Christians call the Old Testament!

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: If they could get past their fear of these old rituals, the Hebrew Bible is a picture of a person!

LARRY: Mm.

RICHARD: So you’re looking for. you’re looking to find the person in the pictures.

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: And so  the festivals of the Lord are really summarized in Leviticus, chapter 23. But anyway the point is these are feasts of the Lord.

LARRY: Yes.

RICHARD: that He gave to the Jewish people, but for all of God’s covenant people to.

LARRY: Mm.

RICHARD:. to celebrate and enjoy for all time. So they’re actually pictures of a person. The Hebrew word, moadim; means a special, set apart time, to meet with God!

LARRY: Wow.

RICHARD: Well so that’s what they are. Back in the 70s, long before most people (laughing)

who are alive today.

LARRY: (laughing)

RICHARD: you know, we had this wonderful move of God.

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: and we. we. we couldn’t get enough of Jesus.

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: So we would. we would invent meetings and organize things, just so we could sit around together and praise the Lord all day.

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: all day; we called them Jesus fests.

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: Jesus festivals. The feasts of the Lord, Larry, are Jesus festivals!

LARRY: Yeah, that’s good.

RICHARD: Hallelujah!

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: (laughing)

That’s what they are!

LARRY: Yeah; yeah.

RICHARD: So, but it began long before Acts, all the way back in the Book of Exodus!

LARRY: Wow.

RICHARD: God came down upon Mount Sinai in the Bible, people know this story. And the mountain shook, you know, and quaking.

LARRY: Yes.

RICHARD: and the fire of God in the smoke! Man, can you imagine being there? And the people ran to the foot of the mountain to see all this, what’s going on, and God spoke to the people. But people who are Bible students might remember, coming out of Egypt, it says it was a mixed multitude.

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: So there was all kinds of people coming out of Egypt. It was the ancient superpower of the world.

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: so a lot of people came out with the Hebrews, and they spoke all kind of languages. So how is God going to say something to these people.

LARRY: Wow.

RICHARD: where they can all hear the same thing?

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: So the Jewish sages have always taught for centuries that when God spoke the Commandments to the people, Larry, He spoke to them out of the mountain in tongues of fire, and they saw and heard the words coming to them in their own languages! Isn’t that amazing!

LARRY: (claps)

That’s amazing.

RICHARD: Wow!

LARRY: I mean that’s like a prophetic picture though.

RICHARD: It is!

LARRY: of what we see fulfilled at Pentecost!

RICHARD: It is. it’s exactly! So they rushed to the mountain; they heard God speak in these [laughing] tongues of fire, in their own languages. Then Moses got up and gave his sermons, but it was kind of a disappointment b-because they had been worshipping this golden calf.

LARRY: Yeah; yeah.

RICHARD: and 3,000 people died.

LARRY: Wow.

RICHARD: in the–

LARRY: Oh.

RICHARD: in the presence of the fire of God. But God spoke all of this, and put it on stone tablets.

LARRY: Yes.

RICHARD: It was a picture. So, now what happened, Larry, is the Prophets said there’s going to come a time in history when God, Who wrote those those Laws on the stone tablets, is going to write them on the fleshly tablets of people’s hearts.

LARRY: (claps)

Yes; yeah.

RICHARD: Hallelujah! And come inside of us, and upon us, and surround us!

LARRY: Yes.

RICHARD: And we’d be enveloped in. in the fire, and power, and Spirit of God!

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: So every year they’d come back to Jerusalem. They’re supposed to come very year. After Passover they’d go home; then they’d come back 50 days later, and that’s what Pentecost means, you know.

LARRY: Yes.

RICHARD: And they’d. they’d say, Maybe this would be the year!

LARRY: Yeah.

RICHARD: And they’d go home, disappointed.

LARRY: Wow.

RICHARD: Come back the next year, Maybe this would be the year!

LARRY: Mm.

[MUSIC AND SINGING AS KEITH LEADS IN WORSHIP]

In the presence of Jehovah, God almighty. He’s Prince of peace. Troubles vanish, hearts are mended. When we’re in the presence of the King.

Hallelujah, He’s holy, He’s holy, Holy God (singing in tongues) Holy– Holy– Holy God– You’re holy, yes, You’re holy, magnificent God,   You reign forever, Holy You are, Holy You are, Holy You are, sovereign King, Holy– You’re worthy, magnificent God, (sings in tongues) You’re holy, Lord You’re holy. Holy One of  Yisrael. Mighty You are, mighty You were, You forevermore shall be. You are holy– You are holy– You are holy– You are holy– (singing in tongues) –Holy– Whooo– Holy– (singing in tongues) –Whooo!

KHALIDA:  There is some people here that God wants you to step out. You know who you are. I’m not going to– I don’t know your name but I see one right here in front of me. Right here, stay. You’re stepping out. Okay, yes. There is people in the back, I’m talking to you way, way, way in the back. You know who you are. Okay, and I’m sure it’s okay for them to step forward. You know who you are and God is telling you there is an assignment and God wants you to be bold today. See, Keith his head is bold. Be like that. All right? He told me I could do that earlier–– Be bold. The enemy– I see some of you way in the back, the enemy’s saying “Oh, God is not talking to you, you not hearing God’s voice, it’s a long way to come to the front.” I’m telling you right now: Do not miss your appointment, come forward– now! There is a river here. Anyway when we were worshipping the river was right there. And Keith was talking about that as we worshiped and we pressed on the river came closer– Anyway when we were worshipping on the last one– my sister and I, our feet were cold. And I asked God “why am wearing socks and shoes and my feet are cold?” I stepped in the RIVER– All right?  So this is your time. If you think it’s really your time and you holding back, God cannot help you. I’m not being religious. So be bold. And come forward, and receive it. I coming from a Muslim background where women don’t have voice. And God saying there is women in this house that today God is giving you a new song, a new voice!

AUDIENCE:  YEAH!

CHESTER: Let me just mention that as we minister in the United States we find at least 80% of the people we minister to having a root of shame and what we call shame-based personality, giving place to fear, giving place to control. So, you know, you’re a pretty good-sized group here, but if we take 80% a lot of us probably need to deal with this. In other nations that have more abandonment in their culture we find 100% of the people are shame-based. So this is not a little problem, folks, this is major and the devil uses it to keep us out of our destiny, because the more shame-based we are the more fear there is. We won’t take risks and to walk in faith it calls for a life of risk-taking, doesn’t it? 

BETSY: Okay, let me tell you a few of the symptoms. Mine was that I was always apologizing. ‘I am SO sorry. Please forgive me for breathing your air.’

AUDIENCE: WOW!

CHESTER: She really said that.

BETSY: I mean I really apologized about everything. His was perfectionism and always having to be right.         

CHESTER: Oh yeah, I did things perfectly, you would have been proud to have me [as] your- employee- yes-           

BETSY: But oh my goodness did it get old quick-

CHESTER: And very tiring, exhausting.

BETSY: And very tiring for all of us! And then this performance and victim mentality, and unworthiness, and anger and lot’s of jealousy. You know when you feel shame you always feel like somebody else has it better, and so there’s a lot of jealousy that comes out of that.

CHESTER: Which is by the way a weapon the devil uses to get one Christian to provide an open door to attack another Christian. When you and I are jealous of somebody else we are providing an open door and that’s why a lot of people have problems and they don’t even know why they’re having it.

BETSY: They found a lot of back problems connected with being a target of jealousy.

CHESTER: Back problems, yeah, and financial issues.

BETSY: [agreeing] And financial issues as well. So, there’s a lot of territorialism.  -When you feel shame you don’t feel good about yourself, then if you have a little thing that you do, you try to hold onto that to make yourself feel important. ‘I just want you to know that I’M the one handing out the bulletins. Now you just leave. You’re not handing out bulletins today. I am!’

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHS IN AGREEMENT]

CHESTER: And other really important things- [joking]

BETSY: Okay, I mean our church is full of the manifestations of shame.

AUDIENCE: Uh huh! 

BETSY: And we can have a shame-based leader and a controlling pastor. Or a controlling leader and a shame-based congregation. It’s really interesting the mix and match that you can get when you start to think about how does a stronghold operate.

CHESTER: So the moral of the story is we’ve need to declare war on shame and get it out of our lives.

AUDIENCE: Amen, yes.

CHESTER:  But because we’ve lived with it all our lives up to this point, I don’t want you to be casual about it or to be naive thinking well I’ll pray a simple prayer and that takes care of it. This is a false identity that we have given place to. We take these on as a lie about who you and I am. And you can always identify false identity ’cause you can use a statement like ‘I am- afraid- I am- now none of us say ‘controlling’ but we might say ‘protecting myself all the time.’ If I asked you to raise your hand and, you know, admit that you’re a controller none of us would do this. One, ’cause we haven’t thought of it that way and Two, because it would stir our shame if we admitted to it, so I’m not going to ask you to do that. But we’ve learned pretty much all of us are controllers. Some are nice controllers, you know, you’re doing it for the benefit of somebody else-

BETSY: I was a very nice controller.

CHESTER: Betsy, Betsy was very nice, yes. Now this is a little hard because I don’t want you to do something you’re not willing to do or ready to do. But this is warfare so I’d sort of like you to stand up, but if you don’t stand up, which is perfectly okay, then you’ll be shamed because you won’t be joining in to do the warfare, (laughter)
so it’s okay to stand up and if you don’t want to do the ministry don’t enter in. Okay? We’ve gotten healed enough now, we don’t need to control other people. So I want you to do what you want to do, you and the Holy Spirit. Okay? We don’t want to in any way to abuse you spiritually or any other way.

BETSY: I just want to share one or two words of knowledge I had as we were preparing-

CHESTER: Okay.       

RICHARD: [PRAYING] Let’s pray: Holy Spirit, we thank You for Your presence here, Lord. We don’t invite you, we just welcome You. We thank You that you’ve been here tonight, and Lord we welcome you to minister into our hearts to transform us into your image. Confess our absolute dependence upon You, Lord. We need you more than anyone and any words. In Jesus name, Amen.

RICHARD: Anybody here struggle with sin in your life? Yeah, we got a few people. Anybody here sin a lot? At some point maybe you wondered maybe I’ve gone too far. Anybody been there? Am I the only One? We’ve got a few other, we’ve got a lot of sinners here. 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHS]      

RICHARD: But you know Jesus was a friend of sinners and he was pretty comfortable there. The thing that encourages me, Luke 7:47. This is what Jesus said. The woman that had washed his feet with her hair-

RICHARD: [READS LUKE 7:47]

RICHARD: Anybody ever get to that place where you wondered, ‘Can God really love me?’ You feel it, you know the truth, you learn it in Sunday School, but you ask the question, ‘Can God really love me?’ What about this one. I know God forgives sin, but maybe I’ve gone just a little too far. Maybe I’ve sinned one too many times. Anybody ever felt that? What about I know God forgives, but I don’t deserve it therefore I won’t accept His forgiveness.  There was a woman that was about to have her hands amputated, she came to us.  We knew that the root of that was intense self-hatred. And I asked her, ‘Is there anything you’ve never been able to forgive yourself for?’ She asked if her daughter could be removed. As her daughter left, she began to talk about something that happened when she was 15 years old, that she had never been able to forgive herself for. 51 years old, 36 years later, that self-hatred had begun to take its toll on her body. Severe type of arthritis that begins to attack your appendages. She’d taught Sunday School, she’d been the pastor’s secretary. She knew the truth. She knew the word of God. But she also believed she didn’t deserve it. Aren’t you glad that we don’t have to wait ’til we deserve it? Anybody ever get to this place? I accept His forgiveness but I won’t forgive myself. This woman struggled to forgive herself. She finally accepted God’s forgiveness. I said, ‘Are you ready to forgive yourself?’ and she goes, ‘No way, I can never do that. I vowed I would never forgive myself.’ I said, ‘If the highest court in the land declares you not guilty, can a lower court hold you accountable for your crimes?’ And she said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Are you putting yourself and your justice above the court of heaven?’ She goes, ‘Well that doesn’t sound really good, does it?’ I said, ‘I don’t think so.’

AUDIENCE:  [LAUGHS]

RICHARD: I said, ‘Would you forgive yourself?’ 36 years! I can never forgive myself, and that night she forgave herself. That week she went in to see the doctors, they pulled the bandages off her and her hands were restored, everything but the finger nails, they had already fallen off. And I told this story for a number of years and then I was at a home school meeting and I walked in and this grandmother was sitting there watching her granddaughter get some achievement and she was sitting there tapping her fingers and I got to see the rest of the story. I love it when God allows you to see the rest of the story. ‘Cause when He restores He restores completely. Amen?

AUDIENCE: Amen!

RICHARD: Amen!

RICHARD: Anyone ever say, ‘I hate myself, I hate myself for what I’ve done, I hate the way I look, I hate whatever it is.’ And here we have eight times Leviticus 19:18: Love your neighbor as yourself. Leviticus 19:34: Love Him as yourself. Matthew 19:19: Honor your father and mother and you will love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:39: the first commandment is to love the lord your God and the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Mark 12 31: the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27: And he answered you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. Romans 13:9: The commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not covet-and if there is any other commandment are all summed up in this saying, namely: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Galatians 5:14: for all the law is fulfilled in one word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself, and James 2:8: If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, You shall love thy neighbor as thyself. It almost sounds like heresy to talk about loving yourself. We grow up learning to almost hate our self…I’m just a sinner saved by grace. To talk about loving yourself sounds wrong, according to how we grew up. But the whole law is fulfilled in loving your neighbor as you love yourself. If you don’t love yourself it’s going to be hard to love your neighbor.

AUDIENCE: Yes. C’mon now!

RICHARD: Where is the breakdown? Do we start by going, I love myself, I love myself, I love myself, I love myself-

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHS] 

SID: Now, Jenny went from no self worth so bankrupt, she went and tried everything. Nothing helped. Nothing filled her, that gap, but she says when she understood the next two things we’ll be talking about. That not only for her, but for you also. You’re not going to be a roller coaster, up one day, down the next. Up, down, up down. No, no. Jenny, tell me your identity now.

JENNY: I am a daughter of the Most High King. My identity is that I am a true worshiper. I walk in victory every single day. I walk in signs, miracles and wonders because the spirit of God lives within me. So, that is who I am. I am a daughter of the king and daughters don’t have to beg for things. We just get everything that our father has for us. Sons don’t have to beg for things. They just get everything that the father has for them. So, that’s my identity and it can be yours too.

SID: The second question I have, you were up and down, mostly down but now you live in a continuous breakthrough. How can others get to that same breakthrough?

JENNY: The secret is the secret place. To have lasting breakthrough you have to have a secret place where you go and you meet with the Lord every day and you commune with him. That is how you can have the transformation of your mind. You’re reading the word, you’re singing the word, you’re worshiping. You have your one on one time and you get filled up with his presence. You will have lasting breakthrough because you won’t look through your eyes anymore. You’ll see with his eyes and everything shifts, everything changes.

SID: I want to release you now to the music set and I would love to have you worship God. If you’ll go to that set right now, but I’m reminded when she was absolutely desperate, she yelled out to God, God help me. I believe there are many watching me that you don’t know God. You might have known about him as a kid. You might have known about him through Judaism or through Islam or through Christianity, but you never had experiential knowledge with him. I would like to pray a supernatural prayer right now and when I pray this prayer, if you’ll say it out loud and believe it to the best of your ability, God will do for you what he did for jenny and what he did for this Jewish man. Repeat after me out loud.

SID: Dear God.

Audience: Dear God.

SID: I’m a sinner.

Audience: I’m a sinner.

SID: Against you and you alone have I sinned.

Audience: Against you and you alone have I sinned.

SID: And I’m so sorry.

Audience: And I’m so sorry.

SID: I believe the blood of Jesus.

Audience: I believe the blood of Jesus.

SID: Washes away all of my sins.

Audience: Washes away all of my sins.

SID: And I’m clean.

Audience: And I’m clean.

SID: I boldly proclaim.

Audience: I boldly proclaim.

SID: That Jesus lives inside of me.

Audience: That Jesus lives inside of me.

SID: And he is my Lord.

Audience: And he is my Lord.

SID: And I seal this.

Audience: And I seal this.

SID: In his name.

Audience: In his name.

SID: Jesus.

Audience: Jesus.

SID: Thank you.

Audience: Thank you.

SID: Amen.

Audience: Amen.

SID: We’ll have jenny play a little bit and minister to you but for more with jenny after this show ends, I want you to go to sidroth.org and now here’s Jenny.

JENNY: Psalms 27. (singing)

JENNY: Jesus, we thank you for what you’ve done and what you’re going to do for every person. Every person that believes. Father you will move on their behalf and you’re working it all out for their good and we thank you and we love you. Jesus’ mighty name.

JENNY: (singing)

Jenny Weaver grew up struggling with many deep issues. Such as cutting, witch craft, rebellions, self hatred, rejection, sexual brokenness, drug addiction, violence and even homelessness. But Jesus stepped in and set her free from every single stronghold and bondage. Now Jenny wants to show you how simple it is to walk in the freedom that your heart longs for.

JENNY: I want people to understand that we’re stepping into a whole new worship movement and he will encounter people like never before. There’s a greater glory coming and we can be a part of that.

SID: I tell you, we’re on the edge of our seats. Tell me about this letter you get from America two months after you wrote a letter and didn’t even expect a reply.

NATASHA: Well, in fact, it was a few months after I got my first package since that time. This Baptist mission located in Sacramento, California, they’ve been so faithful. They would send a monthly package with another issue of magazine, some brochures, and 10 copies of the same issue of the newspaper.

SID: Did you keep putting them under the doors?

NATASHA: Yes, I kept putting-

SID: She’s an evangelist and doesn’t even know it!

NATASHA: I didn’t even know it. What happened one day, I receive this letter and the return address said it’s Sacramento, California, but the name of the person who mailed it was an American name. As I remember, it was Patrick Panic. I never knew this person. I opened the letter, start reading it. This man writes to me that he is a Christian and he decided to visit this Russian church that is not far from his home. When he came to this Russian church and as he stood at the book stand, he meets this Russian man named Nikolai, who was an editor of the magazine to whom I wrote a letter. He said as they start talking, Nikolai pulls out of the pocket of his jacket my letter.

NATASHA: He tells this American believer, “She is an atheist. She’s 29 years old. She doesn’t believe that God exists. Please pray for her.” He handed him my letter. I mean, when I read this, that touched my heart so much. An American Christian and this editor didn’t throw away my letter. He carried it. He treasured it. It means my life matters. It means there is an American who is not indifferent to me. Then the last two sentences, they were, as we say in Russia, the last drop in my overfilled cup.

NATASHA: It said, “I want you to know I am praying for you” and “God loves you.” That was it. Now I know that we put these sentences at the end of every letter without even thinking, but these two sentences changed my life.

SID: What did you feel?

NATASHA: I felt like, I mean, there was someone who I considered an enemy, he’s praying for me. He cares about me. He wants the best for me. Then he says that God loves me. Now, by that time, every night because I read all the literature and at the end of every issue of the magazine and the newspaper, there was a Lord’s prayer. At a certain point, I start thinking, “What if He exists? Just in case, I’m going to start praying before I go to bed, just reading this Lord’s prayer. Just in case, you know?”

SID: Insurance.

NATASHA: When I read God loves me, it penetrated my heart. I was so excited and just ran to the phone to call my friend, Alla.

SID: The one that says you’re going to hell.

NATASHA: Yes, she gave up on me. Anyway, I called her and I said, “Alla, you need to understand. I got a letter from an American. Can you imagine? An American! He says that God loves me and he’s praying for me. I need to show you this letter. I need to translate to you this letter.” She was not really very excited. She gave up on me for sure and she said, “Well, you know, I don’t really have time. Tomorrow is a Sunday, I’m going to church. I don’t have time for you.” I said, “Well, can I go to church with you just to show this letter?” Kind of I’m inviting myself.

SID: I hope you’re getting this. This woman’s so assured she was going to hell, she didn’t want to even invite her to church.

NATASHA: She finally agreed and so we met together the next day. I translated the whole letter while we were riding a bus. We came to the church. It was an old Pentecostal church. They survived persecution, etc., and so we were sitting in the balcony and during the service, my eyes suddenly were opened and I suddenly realized that God is a reality. He is real. He exists. You know, I was crying and I was whispering to God. I said, “God, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you existed. If I had known you existed, I would follow you. I’m so sorry. I just didn’t know about you, anything. Could you forgive me for that?”

NATASHA: Then there was an altar call. You know, I knelt, such was the tradition, you kneel, and all I could say, everything was so spontaneous, but it was God. I was just crying and repeating the same phrase, “Jesus, I didn’t know you existed. I’m so sorry.” Then the minister of the church helped me and led me into the prayer of repentance and accepting Jesus and when I stood up, I never thought that I lived with such a burden. When I stood up, the burden, it seemed like the burden of the sins of the whole world was lifted from me. I was filled with peace and joy and lightness. I was transformed and I was absolutely a new person.

NATASHA: The next thought was, you know, I need to run home and tell my parents. They will be excited to hear about that God exists and Jesus is real.

SID: As a new believer, she was hired as a translator and heard a revelation that was different than any of these new Christians had ever heard before, and she found out that she could operate in miracles the same way that people on TV did. She never knew it. She thought people had to have special anointings from God, but she got the most amazing revelation that few Christians in America have. We’ll be right back.

SID: Well, Dr. Sizer, you were a Catholic priest for about a year, and all of a sudden you got desperate for something more.

FRANCIS: That night when I was in desperation, and hungry for more, He came into my room, and the presence of God entered enter my body, into my spirit, and flooded my soul. And I wept, and I wept, and I wept. I cried out loud that, “He has come. You’ve been here all this time, and I never knew it. I never really knew it like I know it now.” And I was saved.

SID: And then a few weeks later, he is a little nervous about something going on in the basement of his church, a little group of Catholic charismatics were meeting. So he decided he would investigate. A few weeks later, they’re all praying for him for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. What happened?

FRANCIS: Well, I did go to that meeting that night. They had asked me to give a little teaching. They said, “Let the Spirit lead you, Father.” I didn’t understand what they meant by let the Spirit lead you, but anyway, I did my best.

I recall saying, “Well, I’ll talk on creation because that sounds like a good topic.” They had me sit down. They didn’t know what I was going to talk about, but they had me sit down in a circle, and put all my books, my concordance, all the notes put aside, and they said, “Let’s pray.”

FRANCIS: The leader said, “I feel good tonight. Let’s sing about the birds of the sky and the fishes of the sea. Let’s sing about creation.” Let’s sing about creation. Amen. Amen.

FRANCIS: Somebody read from the book of Genesis on creation. I said, “That’s interesting.” And the earth was without form –

FRANCIS: Then somebody read Psalm 104, the creation Psalm, and I really said, “This is very interesting.” He established the earth upon its foundations, so that it will not totter forever and ever. Somebody must be here. Finally, a man opened up his Bible and he read from the passage from Galatians 1:15, which was my text for the night. I jumped up out of my seat. I said, “He is here! He is here! God is real!”

SID: So they laid hands on you to be immersed in the Holy Spirit. Tell me what happened.

FRANCIS: The greatest night of my life, Sid, greatest night of my life. Three people said a very short prayer, began to pray in tongues, and with that, I began to shake. My body shook and shook and shook and shook with power, and volts of electricity coursed through my body more and more and more. I couldn’t stop it. I got so scared, I yelled out, “Stop it! Stop it!” But it wouldn’t stop. It went on for a whole hour.

They got scared. They left me. They left me. There I was. I bounced onto the floor, and I went into convulsions, up and down, up and down, shaking with power. With that power came this liquid love of fire, went through my body, and through my body, volts of love, volts of power. And God had baptized me with the fire, the real baptism of fire.

That night, the Lord took me up to heaven, and when I went up to heaven, I was out of my body into another realm, into another place. And I heard for the first time, all my senses were amplified, and made greater and greater, and the music I heard with the choirs of angels was something I wanted to stay with. I wanted to stay there. But I heard the voice, “There’s work to be done.” And I was back in my body. Back in that church that night. When I laid in the bed the fire of God was on my hands, and I couldn’t wait to wake up the next day, and try it out on somebody.

SID: Now this is so amazing to me. In the Catholic Church, they confess to priests their sins. The children, when they would go, he was the most popular priest. Do you know why? They wanted to go to the priest that knew their sins before you told them. The children would actually fall over in the Spirit. Is that true?

FRANCIS: The children, Mother Superior brought the classroom over, and so I was praying with the first one, and in those days instead of going behind a screen, they would sit in a chair. I reached out my hand for the first one, and boom! Down she goes. I said, “What was that?” I picked her up. I put her over in the corner. I opened the door. I said, “Sister, send the next one in.” This went on for six times. Boom! You have to understand, I didn’t know what slaying in the spirit was, but I knew my hands were lethal.

SID: You know, I want to know the first miracle that occurred with those lethal hands.

FRANCIS: Yeah, I used to go to the hospital. I went into a woman who was left for death. She was 85 pounds, her name was Annie. She had fourth degree cancer, or fourth level stage cancer. She was on morphine, and I walked into that room, Sid, and it reeked of cancer. The spirit of cancer, I don’t know if the audience has ever smelled what it smells like. It was terrible. And she was dying. The spirit of death was there.

So I cursed the spirit of death in the name of Jesus. I cast out the spirit of death in the name of Jesus. I took Anne by the hand, and the power of God went out of my right hand into her body. Her eyes popped open like with life again, and I said, “Get up in the name of Jesus. Take a walk with the man of God.”

SID: And that’s how it started. Now, you think of something when children fall over from the power of God coming on them. Guess what happens when there is a seeing-eye dog. Same thing with the dog. We’ll be right back.

SID: Now, you just witnessed healing glory. I want to now show you the most important glory of all the glories, and that is salvation …

SID: … glory. As you watch this historic video, and it is historic, I want you to have what … You know, I’ve studied. In the Greek New Testament, it says a little different than the English. Jesus said, “This is eternal life, that you might have experiential knowledge of me.” You see, experiential knowledge means what I just said, your own experience, not someone else’s experience. Not what you’ve been taught since you were that little, your own experience.

SID: There’s nothing more important than that. There’s nothing …

SID: … that anyone can take away from you, once you have your experience with God.

SID: A man and a woman with an experience, the devil cannot undermine.

SID: I suggest you take advantage of this evangelism glory, and when I say the prayer for these Jewish people to know the Messiah, I suggest you say that prayer, studio audience and at home, right along with me. Let’s roll it.

SID: I’m going to pray a supernatural prayer, for those that want this heart transplant, have their sins forgiven, and know God. All of those that want this supernatural prayer, stand up right now, and I’ll pray it. Right now. If your life is so great, stay seated. But if you want to know love, if you want to know purpose, if you want to know destiny, now is the said time! Right now is the time for your visitation! I want you to repeat this prayer out loud as Israel prays it, and mean it to the best of your ability. God asks nothing more. Dear God, I’ve made many mistakes, for which I’m so sorry. I believe that the blood of Messiah washes away my sins, and because of the blood of Messiah, you remember my sins no more, and I am clean. Now that I am clean, Yeshua come inside of me. Take over my life. I make you Lord of my life. Amen. (End of Video)

SID: Now, remember I told you my trip to Israel started with this young, Jewish Israeli? Would you believe my return ended with a Israeli Muslim? Now, his brother had been driving us around in a taxi, and he had a very unusual cell ring. The Quran was being chanted every time he had a phone call on his telephone, and he was very religious. His brother was driving us to the airport to leave Israel, and his brother is just as religious. I said things to him I had never thought about.

SID: You see, in the glory … Remember Jesus says in the New Testament that you will be … when you’re brought before judges, you will be told what to say …

SID: … when it happens. You’re not going to be told beforehand. That’s what happens in the glory. I knew exactly what to say to him, and when I said that to him, I was shocked, because he was … He told me he was a taxi driver for some of the greatest Christians. I would never mention their names, and he’s always their driver. But let’s face it, how many share the gospel with muslims?

SID: How many share the gospel with Jews? I’m telling you, the two cousins are open to the gospel.

SID: Arabs and Jews.

SID: He could not wait to talk to our mutual friend, that knows the Lord, that is a Messianic Jewish pastor in Israel. He couldn’t wait, he sees him all the time, he works for him, he’s good friends, to tell him he wanted to know more about Jesus. He prayed a prayer with me, and this was the prayer he prayed, “Jesus, if you’re who Sid says he is, show it to me in a way I’ll understand.” When a Muslim or a Jew prays a sincere prayer like that, they will know the truth.

SID: The truth will set them free.

SID: I started with a Jew, ended with a Muslim. You know what? That’s a perfect one new man, Jew and Gentile Christian, one in Messiah.

SID: We are going to see a billion souls …

SID: … come to the Lord.

SID: Lord, show us your glory!

 

SID: Okay. So you go to a doctor and he tells you something you didn’t want to hear. It’s literally a death sentence. Becky Dvorak, what advice to you give this person?

BECKY: Well, I say that you don’t give the enemy the last word in your life. You need to take authority over the negative report. That doesn’t mean you have to be rude to a doctor because, let’s face it, you’ve gone to him or her for their advice. If they tell you that there’s no hope, you’re going to die, whatever, you have the right on this earth, and I believe you have the responsibility in the supernatural realm, to use your authority in Jesus and say, “No, I am not going to die, in Jesus’ name.”

SID: All right. Give me a real life example … the boy that had two weeks to live. He had two conditions. He had AIDS and he had tuberculosis.

BECKY: Yes. We received a boy. He must have been about 10 or 11 years old, at the time, in the children’s home in Guatemala.

SID: They run a children’s home in Guatemala. Go ahead.

BECKY: Yes. So this boy came to us. The HIV count, in his blood, was two and half times more than the level that they consider AIDS, the last stage. That is tremendous.

SID: He’s about ready to die.

BECKY: He is, and one of the opportunistic diseases that attacks someone in that situation is tuberculosis. This was tuberculosis of the lungs, ’cause he was coughing up blood and all of that, which is very contagious. So we received him, and I remember that evening because it came late in the afternoon. That evening, I remember I was holding–

SID: Excuse me. Did you have the option not to receive him?

BECKY: Yes.

SID: So, weren’t you a little concerned?

BECKY: No.

SID: Strong woman. All right. Go ahead.

BECKY: So, I remember holding him in my arms and I was praying in the Holy Spirit, [foreign language] I was praying in tongues, and I renounced that spirit of death in him and that HIV/AIDS and the tuberculosis and all of that that was happening in his body. I was telling this little boy who was afraid … He didn’t know where he was going. He was being told he was dying. Now, he’s with us, and he doesn’t know who we are. I’m telling him, “It’s okay. You’re going to be okay. Jesus loves you. You’re going to be okay. Don’t be afraid.”

BECKY: The next morning, we had to take him to the hospital, and I started to testify to the doctor and the nurses in the room because they wanted to know who was I and what was my relationship to this boy. So, I explained it, and I said, “I believe in healing, and I see miracles happen to people all over the world, and this little boy isn’t going to be any different, and I’m not afraid of this. He’s not going to die. He’s going to be healed,” and they were like, “Yeah? Really? Are you sure?” This doctor started … he, obviously, was not a believer, and he didn’t like the faith talk that I was speaking.

BECKY: So, I had to step out of the room while they put this tube down, and when the doctor came out, he had already started testing my faith. You know? He came out of the room and he held up this little bottle, this sample bottle, and he looked me and he said, “Tuberculosis. This is classic tuberculosis,” and the liquid that they pulled up out of his lungs … it was all peppered all this little black specks all over. I said, “In Jesus’ name, he doesn’t have it.” He got mad at me and he said, “Tuberculosis, classic.” I said, “In Jesus’ name, he doesn’t have it.” The doctor left the room, and he shouted out loud at me, “Tuberculosis,” and I said, “No. He doesn’t have it, in Jesus’ name.”

BECKY: A few days later, we received these test results back. This doctor didn’t call us. He had someone else call us, and there was no tuberculosis in his body, and they could not even find the HIV in his body either. It was that miraculous.

SID: What if you have a child that is labeled, “Autistic”? Becky says she had a child labeled, “Autistic,” but she refused to label him that. Tell me about it.

BECKY: Amen. You’re right. One of our adopted sons, Andres he came to us when he was six and a half weeks old. He had many, many problems and, as we were to find out, one of them was autism. He had the classic symptoms. He couldn’t look you in the eye. He spun around in circles. Everything in his life had to spin. It was classic where he would have the tantrums that would last four or five hours, and it would send me in tears. It was so difficult of a situation. My heart went out to him because I couldn’t settle him down in the natural.

BECKY: I remember Andres was, now, having another one of these tantrums that lasted for hours and hours. I just had to just keep going about my daily business the best I could, and I remember I was changing one of the babies, and I literally heard the Spirit of God say to me, “Take your authority over that autistic spirit now.” When I heard it, I stopped what I was doing, and I said, “That’s it?” So I turned to him and I pointed to where he was and I said, “In Jesus’ name, I renounce that autistic spirit in you now, and I command it to come out of you now, in Jesus’ name.” The tantrum stopped, Sid, and he never, ever had another autistic fit, ever again.

SID: What I think is so wonderful is that when you teach and people do what you tell them to do … for instance, tell me about the friend of a friend that had stage four cancer.

BECKY: Yes. This is amazing. Sometimes people think that only someone like myself and a healing ministry can do this. But, no, that’s not the truth. God wants all of His people to minister healing wherever we go. That’s part of the Great Commission. Right? “If you believe, you’ll lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” Well, anyway, I was mentoring a young lady, and she’s in Virginia. She’s been reading my books and listening to my tapes and she comes to the healing seminars and all of that. She emailed me and she said, “Becky, a friend of a friend just emailed me, and he just was told he has stage four cancer in the lungs and there’s no hope and he’s about to die. What do I do?”

BECKY: I wrote back to her, and I said, “This is what you do,” and this is what I tell people to do, “Number one, with the prophetic words of your mouth, you take and you renounce that spirit of death. You renounce that spirit behind that cancer and you curse those cancerous tumors in Jesus’ name. You command them to be gone from his body and you declare that he’s healed and made whole by the redemptive blood of Jesus.”

BECKY: So this young lady did this. Well that next week, the man went for another doctor appointment and all the cancer was gone.

SID: You know, Becky has so much supernatural to share that we’ve prepared a special extended segment that you can watch after this show. Just log onto sidroth.org/becky. Now, when we come back, Becky is going to share with us the greatest revelation that she has received about how you can have miracles. And, I’m going to tell you, most have never heard this before and I’m going to have her pray for you, if that’s okay. We’ll be right back

MARILYN:  So stand up. Put your hand on top of your head. We’ll just pray for everything. Okay? Why not? And you’ll go out of this meeting and think, “Wow, I don’t have that anymore.” Amen? So let me pray for you, say: Father, in the name of Jesus, I send the word, into my body, that heals it, delivers it, from every destruction. Now Father I thank you, You’re not only my Healer, You are my Health. And as my days are, so shall my strength be. I thank You, I am a healer. I walk in that anointing. It came on me today in an unusual way. In Jesus’ name.” And everyone said, “Amen.”  Now look for the difference, look for your miracle, get focused. People who expect nothing in particular get nothing in particular. But when you get specific that’s when God does big things. Amen? Thank you, Sid.

SID:  Thank you, Marilyn. Did you enjoy her?

AUDIENCE:  (CLAPS AHD SHOUTS)

SID:  I’m going to pray a supernatural blessing over you. You know, well, I’m going to be interviewing a friend of mine on something called “The Father’s Blessing.” And one of my intercessors who has been with me for a long time gave me an idea and I can’t wait to do it. I’m going to have about a dozen of the most anointed friends I have pray a blessing from a father to you. And you’ll be able to listen to this on your CD player or on your tape player. –See a lot of people have never been blessed by their father. I can tell you it happened to me just before my father died. He was shocked. He didn’t understand the validity of it, but I understood the validity of it and it made a profound difference in my life. And I believe that when I pray for you right now, it’s going to make a profound difference in your life. Michael, would you come up with your shofar, please? We’ll seal it with a shofar blast, if that’s okay. It’s Rabbi Michael Zeitler. I’m glad you brought your little one [shofar] this time. (laughing)

[SID SAYS A BLESSING OVER THE AUDIENCE]

The Lord is blessing you when you come in. The Lord is blessing you when you go out. The Lord is blessing you in your family. The Lord is blessing you in your health. The Lord is blessing you in your finances. The Lord is gifting you from heaven right now. The Lord, He’s smiling upon you today and forever, He’s doing that right now. The Lord is surrounding you with His favor right now. The Lord is giving you His Shalom, His completeness in your spirit, in your soul and in your body right now. Receive His love right now, and let His love go right through every cell of your body and recognize that you are loved, you are appreciated. You belong to God. He is your Father. And He will never disappoint you. He will never let you down. He will never forget you, because you are created in His image for good works. In Yeshua’s name I pray. Amen.

MICHAEL:  (PLAYS SHOFAR BLAST)
