WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.799 Well, we are now answering our 14th question 00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:12.339 of the 42 questions that have been written me 00:00:12.339 --> 00:00:17.199 and asked to be answered by a very influential 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:23.760 magazine. After I get through answering these 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.600 42 questions, don't you make out a list of questions 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.479 yourself. and send them in because I'm not going 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:37.039 to answer them. When I have finished these 42 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:43.240 questions, anything that you might ask will have 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.659 already been answered, I'll tell you that. Because 00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:52.719 this reporter has not missed one. He has not 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.119 missed anything. And so don't get the idea. that 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:02.119 if you send a list of 42 or 50 questions, then 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.799 I'm going to sit here and do the same thing for 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.079 you. When my 42nd question is answered, that's 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:14.379 it, my friend. I've had it. This is the 14th 00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:19.079 question. How have you overcome the disreputable 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:24.750 cloud regarding faith healers? Has the self -confessed 00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:29.489 hypocrisy of Marjo affected you or your ministry 00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:34.049 in any way? Let's take the first part of the 00:01:34.049 --> 00:01:39.390 question. How have you overcome the disreputable 00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:45.209 cloud regarding faith healers? Well, confidentially, 00:01:45.209 --> 00:01:49.530 I don't think I have overcome anything because 00:01:49.530 --> 00:01:52.530 I do not put myself in the class with... faith 00:01:52.530 --> 00:02:02.530 healers. It's only the news media that has put 00:02:02.530 --> 00:02:11.030 me in that class. I am not a faith healer. I 00:02:11.030 --> 00:02:15.930 have never healed anyone. I never expect to heal 00:02:15.930 --> 00:02:21.569 anyone. I have no healing virtue. I have no healing 00:02:21.569 --> 00:02:26.830 power. I really do not believe that I have been 00:02:26.830 --> 00:02:32.050 given anything that's special or something that 00:02:32.050 --> 00:02:36.310 any Christian could have if they would pay the 00:02:36.310 --> 00:02:44.689 price of full surrender and yieldedness. I am 00:02:44.689 --> 00:02:52.680 not a healer. on the mercy of the Lord Jesus 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.259 Christ. I'm dependent on the power of the Holy 00:02:55.259 --> 00:03:00.120 Spirit. In exactly the same way that when Jesus 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.400 was here in the flesh and walked this earth, 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.120 he was dependent on the Holy Spirit for the manifestation 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.659 of the power of the Holy Spirit in his ministry. 00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:13.000 And that was the reason that before Jesus ever 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.840 came in the form of flesh, he offered himself 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.550 through the Holy Spirit to be given. Jesus knew 00:03:21.550 --> 00:03:26.229 the secret of the miracles in his ministry. That 00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:29.229 was the reason that the Holy Spirit came upon 00:03:29.229 --> 00:03:32.810 him in a very special way when Jesus came upon 00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:39.090 the waters of baptism. And the Holy Spirit is 00:03:39.090 --> 00:03:44.030 the same today that he was then. That is the 00:03:44.030 --> 00:03:48.069 reason that the gift that Jesus gave to his church. 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.580 was the secret of power. And he said, and ye 00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:57.219 shall receive power. After that, the Holy Ghost 00:03:57.219 --> 00:04:03.840 has come upon you. What power? The power to see 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.659 miracles performed. The power of the supernatural. 00:04:10.099 --> 00:04:19.170 And when it comes to faith, I have... seen miracles 00:04:19.170 --> 00:04:24.230 performed. I have seen the healing of the physical 00:04:24.230 --> 00:04:32.029 body. Where there was no manifestation of faith 00:04:32.029 --> 00:04:39.370 whatsoever, the person admitted they did not 00:04:39.370 --> 00:04:44.029 believe. They were awed when they realized that 00:04:44.029 --> 00:04:47.579 they had been healed. And over and over again 00:04:47.579 --> 00:04:51.040 they have said, but I just can't believe it. 00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:57.980 I just can't believe that it happened to me. 00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:07.319 We have lost sight of the mercy of the Lord Jesus 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:15.269 Christ. Oh, if we could come back again. To the 00:05:15.269 --> 00:05:22.189 mercy. We're living in an hour when the Holy 00:05:22.189 --> 00:05:25.910 Spirit is going beyond the faith. And again I 00:05:25.910 --> 00:05:29.290 say, if you and I have any faith whatsoever, 00:05:29.529 --> 00:05:35.029 it is not something that we have worked up. It 00:05:35.029 --> 00:05:38.050 is not something that we have struggled to attain. 00:05:39.050 --> 00:05:43.250 For the Bible says that Jesus is the author and 00:05:43.250 --> 00:05:48.889 the finisher of our faith. If you have any faith 00:05:48.889 --> 00:06:01.230 whatsoever, it is still a gift. Know that. A 00:06:01.230 --> 00:06:10.069 faith healer? No, my friend. I... only remind 00:06:10.069 --> 00:06:19.370 you how big God really is, that his promises 00:06:19.370 --> 00:06:25.889 are real, and that he will never fail to keep 00:06:25.889 --> 00:06:31.170 his word. Now we come to the second part of the 00:06:31.170 --> 00:06:35.120 question. Has the self -confessed hypocrisy of 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.920 Marjo affected you or your ministry in any way? 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:50.620 The answer is definitely no. I'll tell you something 00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:58.639 very confidentially. The Today Show phoned and 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:08.720 asked me to be on a panel when the film was first 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:17.079 shown. I considered it for a very brief time 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:22.920 and then I called back and said I would decline 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:34.009 to be on the panel defending My faith are defending 00:07:34.009 --> 00:07:41.550 this ministry. I'll tell you why. I do not believe 00:07:41.550 --> 00:07:50.170 that God's word needs defense. I do not believe 00:07:50.170 --> 00:07:55.329 that God needs any defense whatsoever. I do not 00:07:55.329 --> 00:08:01.009 believe that the son of the living God The true 00:08:01.009 --> 00:08:05.350 Messiah needs any defense. Oh, sure, there was 00:08:05.350 --> 00:08:08.069 a day when I was inexperienced and young in the 00:08:08.069 --> 00:08:11.810 ministry and a young Christian. I started out 00:08:11.810 --> 00:08:16.670 as a teenage girl defending my wonderful Jesus. 00:08:17.509 --> 00:08:23.110 I'd fight at the drop of a hat. Just say one 00:08:23.110 --> 00:08:29.800 word against Jesus. And I was right there, remember? 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:40.539 I have red hair. Oh, I was a one army defending 00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:47.580 Jesus. But then after years of experience, I 00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:53.600 found out that he needs no defense. He'll defend 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.679 himself. And when it comes to the Holy Spirit, 00:08:59.470 --> 00:09:05.730 The Holy Spirit needs no defense. All that I 00:09:05.730 --> 00:09:10.990 have to do is to just be true and faithful in 00:09:10.990 --> 00:09:20.990 preaching the Word, and He will defend me. The 00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:25.730 fifteenth question. What is your definition of 00:09:25.730 --> 00:09:33.240 a miracle? How unusual must a phenomenon be to 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:41.919 warrant that designation? Well, what a miracle 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:47.639 may mean to you may not mean the same thing to 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:54.399 me. If you turn the dictionary, Webster says 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.279 that a miracle is an event or an action that 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.240 apparently contradicts known scientific laws 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.299 and is hence thought to be due to supernatural 00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:14.419 causes, especially to an act of God. I remember 00:10:14.419 --> 00:10:17.480 one day coming out of Bullock's Wilshire store 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:24.259 in Los Angeles. I'd gone in there to get a little 00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:26.820 something and I was rushing out of the store. 00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:31.009 when there were two little boys. I found out 00:10:31.009 --> 00:10:35.610 later they were brothers. Oh, not more than eight 00:10:35.610 --> 00:10:38.149 and ten years of age. And they were standing 00:10:38.149 --> 00:10:41.590 on the outside of the store selling candy bars. 00:10:42.149 --> 00:10:45.529 One came rushing up to me and said, Miss, Miss, 00:10:45.669 --> 00:10:52.690 would you like to buy a candy bar? Then he looked 00:10:52.690 --> 00:10:58.059 up into my face. Oh! And he said, Willie, Willie, 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:03.000 here's the miracle lady. Here's the miracle lady. 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.940 And I just stood there and smiled. And he continued 00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:14.759 by saying, you know, I had a miracle happen to 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.820 me once. I had a wonderful miracle happen to 00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:25.080 me. And I said, what was it? Willie said. One 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:30.259 day I needed a quarter, and I needed it all for 00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:35.960 bad. I had to have a quarter, and you know what? 00:11:36.980 --> 00:11:43.039 I was walking down the street, and there on the 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:49.799 street was a quarter. And God had made a miracle 00:11:49.799 --> 00:12:01.399 for me. to the little boy in his life. That was 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:07.059 a miracle. In the life of someone else, it may 00:12:07.059 --> 00:12:12.159 be the healing of cancer in that body. You've 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.779 prayed. The medical profession said there's no 00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:21.179 cure. And then suddenly, in his tender mercy, 00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:28.759 He reaches down, and the supernatural happens, 00:12:28.899 --> 00:12:37.480 contradicting all known scientific laws. The 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:43.480 supernatural power of God, an act of God, and 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.779 to that one, that's as great a miracle as the 00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:52.940 little boy who found the quarter on the street. 00:12:54.900 --> 00:13:04.259 I believe that every time a baby is born, that 00:13:04.259 --> 00:13:12.440 mama has just given birth to a miracle. Do you 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.299 understand what I'm trying to say? What do you 00:13:17.299 --> 00:13:21.980 mean by coming under the power? What is the biblical? 00:13:22.870 --> 00:13:25.549 Criterion for such an experience. This is the 00:13:25.549 --> 00:13:34.269 sixteenth question. I call it falling under the 00:13:34.269 --> 00:13:39.230 power. I do not know how better to describe it. 00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:42.230 I only know that I have nothing to do with it. 00:13:43.370 --> 00:13:47.549 Nothing whatsoever. Two questions I'm going to 00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:51.149 ask the master when I get home to glory. The 00:13:51.149 --> 00:13:57.990 first one is, Jesus, why wasn't everyone healed? 00:13:59.309 --> 00:14:02.389 I'd like to know. I don't have the answer to 00:14:02.389 --> 00:14:06.870 that question. And my second question is to have 00:14:06.870 --> 00:14:10.409 him tell me regarding the manifestation of the 00:14:10.409 --> 00:14:12.990 power of God, the slain power of the Holy Spirit. 00:14:13.789 --> 00:14:17.590 I have nothing to do with it whatsoever. I do 00:14:17.590 --> 00:14:25.509 not understand it. But I told you before that 00:14:25.509 --> 00:14:29.429 I will not accept anything except it is scriptural. 00:14:29.590 --> 00:14:36.509 It must be in the Word of God. And the part of 00:14:36.509 --> 00:14:39.710 this question is, what is the biblical criterion 00:14:39.710 --> 00:14:44.470 for such an experience? You've read it over and 00:14:44.470 --> 00:14:47.750 over again. You're familiar with it. The conversion 00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:54.600 of... Saul on the road to Damascus. Oh, I wish 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.580 Paul were sitting right here and he could answer 00:14:58.580 --> 00:15:04.019 this question for me. You remember that suddenly 00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:12.360 something happened to him? All of a sudden, he 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:18.299 found himself on the ground. Literally knocked 00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:24.490 to the ground. Fat on his back. I'm sorry I missed 00:15:24.490 --> 00:15:30.730 it. I'm just sorry I wasn't there. Oh, and he 00:15:30.730 --> 00:15:32.470 didn't have someone to catch him when he fell 00:15:32.470 --> 00:15:38.889 either. Me thinks he fell hard. Lying prostrate 00:15:38.889 --> 00:15:42.590 on the ground. So they had knocked him to the 00:15:42.590 --> 00:15:45.110 earth. But the Lord spoke and said, come on, 00:15:45.129 --> 00:15:52.610 get up. Get up, Paul. What happened? Open paw? 00:15:55.429 --> 00:15:59.350 Methinks his face would shine with the glory 00:15:59.350 --> 00:16:02.470 and he could not answer the question any more 00:16:02.470 --> 00:16:06.730 than I can answer it. Or literally thousands 00:16:06.730 --> 00:16:09.330 would experience the slaying power of the Holy 00:16:09.330 --> 00:16:16.350 Spirit. All that he knew was that it was a supernatural 00:16:16.350 --> 00:16:20.509 power. All that thousands can tell you today. 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:27.340 is that it's a supernatural power. But oh, so 00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:34.000 peaceful. So wonderful. You're never quite the 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.220 same again. Even though you do not understand 00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:43.299 the experience. Yes, it's in the Word of God. 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:51.159 Paul experienced it. And you can experience It 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:58.759 too. The seventeenth question. Do you have many 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:04.480 healings from drugs, youth or adult? Remember, 00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:09.339 wherever the Holy Spirit is present, you will 00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:12.599 always have, first of all, the great miracle 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:16.859 of salvation. That's the greatest miracle in 00:17:16.859 --> 00:17:21.519 the world. There is no greater deliverance than 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.759 the deliverance from the power of sin, that new 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:29.160 birth experience. When the Holy Spirit is present, 00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:35.119 there will always be the deliverance from sin, 00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:39.420 from habits. There have been those just sitting 00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:41.680 in the audience without hands being laid upon 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:46.140 them who have been delivered from drugs. after 00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:50.880 having been on drugs for years, not only the 00:17:50.880 --> 00:18:00.400 youths, but adults alike. That, my friend, is 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:06.940 the power of God. The 18th question. To what 00:18:06.940 --> 00:18:10.960 extent do you take medication yourself? When 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.759 should one pray for healing and seek medicine? 00:18:14.670 --> 00:18:20.329 or conventional therapy. The question is asked, 00:18:20.430 --> 00:18:23.670 to what extent do you take medication yourself? 00:18:25.089 --> 00:18:31.230 I thank my God for His keeping power, and I believe 00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:35.750 that the fact that He keeps me in good health 00:18:35.750 --> 00:18:40.970 without medication is as great a miracle as though 00:18:40.970 --> 00:18:45.089 I had been healed from some disease. We take 00:18:45.089 --> 00:18:50.190 these things so for granted. If you do not have 00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:58.970 the faith to be healed, then, my friend, go and 00:18:58.970 --> 00:19:03.809 see the best physician there is. God heals in 00:19:03.809 --> 00:19:09.009 more than one way. We work very closely with 00:19:09.009 --> 00:19:14.890 the medical profession. All healing is divine, 00:19:15.309 --> 00:19:20.490 but God does not always heal in the same way.
