00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:17.089
Strange thing happened this morning. Good morning,

00:00:17.170 --> 00:00:20.629
everybody. You know, strange thing happened when

00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:26.809
I opened my iPad for my notes. It all was gone.

00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:30.309
I had to quickly dash out to the room, go and

00:00:30.309 --> 00:00:36.509
reload the notes. And then I realized, I don't

00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:38.810
think God wants me to use notes this morning.

00:00:39.649 --> 00:00:44.179
And just talk to you ad lib. Because you understand

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:47.880
what I feel here. You know, when we talk about,

00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.759
especially when we have a theme like you guys

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.560
have chosen to have, and that is signs following,

00:00:54.820 --> 00:01:00.299
we're talking about the supernatural. Come on

00:01:00.299 --> 00:01:03.579
now. That's what we're talking about, the supernatural.

00:01:03.579 --> 00:01:06.560
And really, the supernatural is not something

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.730
really somebody can teach you. It's some place

00:01:12.730 --> 00:01:17.310
that you must enter and go and experience. Yes,

00:01:17.349 --> 00:01:20.209
come on, amen when you agree with that. You know,

00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:23.709
I cannot, for example, I cannot tell you, teach

00:01:23.709 --> 00:01:28.689
you God. I can just take the Bible and teach

00:01:28.689 --> 00:01:33.469
you about God. You must experience him for yourself.

00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:40.450
You cannot, I cannot teach him. Healing. I cannot

00:01:40.450 --> 00:01:44.409
teach you healing. I can teach you about healing.

00:01:45.730 --> 00:01:53.290
But you first have to become sick. Hello. You

00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:58.030
become sick and then you receive, you enter the

00:01:58.030 --> 00:02:02.670
supernatural to receive your healing. Then you

00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:08.300
know about the healer. We had. I had several

00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:10.699
people through the years, and this morning I'm

00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:16.659
going to just talk to you like Jan. Not like

00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:19.379
a teacher, but I just want to talk to you like

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:26.020
a fellow citizen of this planet. So many people

00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:29.639
through the years have said to me, Jan, what

00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:36.740
must I do to be where you are? I said, Of course

00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:39.840
you can be where I am. But then you have to walk

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.400
where I've walked. You know, I've died. And I

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.360
was resurrected. I have had experiences like

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:55.520
you cannot believe. And I overcame them. I had

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.000
to swim through a crocodile -infested river.

00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.080
And God... brought me through. I'm just, you

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.120
know, please, when I talk about these things

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.560
this morning, please understand, I don't want

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.759
to uplift John. Please forget that altogether.

00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:16.800
I want to just remind you, that's really what

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.759
this is for. This is a reminder of what and how

00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.379
wonderful it really is to venture into the supernatural.

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:30.360
But to venture into the supernatural you actually

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.659
have to learn how to go into another dimension.

00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:40.159
The dimension of the flesh does not experience

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.159
God. The dimension of the flesh is only a place

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.000
where we learn about God. Many people go to...

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.939
church for years I'm talking about Pentecostal

00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:56.620
churches who believe in healing who believe believes

00:03:56.620 --> 00:04:01.240
in divine healing and never once in their entire

00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.599
lives do they ever receive what they believe

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.039
or they say they believe there is so many people

00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:16.339
sitting in places like this who will hear a message

00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:22.490
And then for that moment, that sermon, that word

00:04:22.490 --> 00:04:27.670
of God, that divine word from the word maker

00:04:27.670 --> 00:04:32.110
grabs their hearts and they come forward, receive

00:04:32.110 --> 00:04:35.709
their healing, and then step outside of this

00:04:35.709 --> 00:04:39.230
atmosphere, back into the atmosphere of the flesh,

00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:42.589
and then just lose it altogether because your

00:04:42.589 --> 00:04:49.420
faith don't hold. that your faith is not something

00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:53.240
that you teach to have or to receive. Your faith

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:59.560
is a gift from God. You know, God, you know,

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.879
I thought I'd start by saying this morning, you

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:07.860
know, I'm not here to defend God. Nobody needs

00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:12.040
to defend God. You know, when we teach about

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.779
healing and so on, it's almost, we have to be

00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:19.420
so careful because we almost venture to the point

00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:26.480
where we're defending God. Nobody defends God.

00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:32.800
God is God. He's Almighty God. He's like no one

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.899
else. And if anybody ever thought that they knew

00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:42.029
God, they have a surprise waiting. You know,

00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:45.550
as long as I've been serving God, I know God,

00:05:45.810 --> 00:05:51.189
but I really don't know God in its fullness.

00:05:52.009 --> 00:05:56.069
Can you just imagine? Can you imagine Moses?

00:05:56.329 --> 00:06:00.149
It's a typical example. Moses climbing up the

00:06:00.149 --> 00:06:04.009
mountain. The mountain being another dimension.

00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:10.730
You know, and deciding. Even up to an old age,

00:06:11.069 --> 00:06:16.129
I don't want to be in this lower dimension because

00:06:16.129 --> 00:06:19.970
over here, I don't see God. I don't meet with

00:06:19.970 --> 00:06:25.769
God. I want to be in that dimension. I'm going

00:06:25.769 --> 00:06:30.550
to climb another mountain. I'm going to climb

00:06:30.550 --> 00:06:34.949
another hill. I want in the presence of God.

00:06:35.069 --> 00:06:36.730
Will you raise your hands here this morning?

00:06:36.769 --> 00:06:39.970
You make that your prayer. God, I want to be

00:06:39.970 --> 00:06:45.569
in another dimension. Come on, just pray in tongues.

00:06:45.709 --> 00:06:48.509
Fill the atmosphere. Come on, fill the atmosphere

00:06:48.509 --> 00:06:52.129
with tongues. Let the Holy Spirit just pray through

00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:55.329
here this morning and fill the atmosphere. Lord,

00:06:55.470 --> 00:06:59.230
we want to talk about something we really don't

00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:05.120
know much about. We want to talk about signs

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.959
following, Lord, and our flesh don't understand

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:12.319
those things. And so I want to pray, oh God,

00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:17.920
help us this morning to just for a few moments

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:25.459
climb a mountain. Help us to get to a place,

00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:28.720
Lord, where just for a few moments we can forget

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:37.649
about the world out there. Come on, pray. Don't

00:07:37.649 --> 00:07:47.589
stop because I'm stopping. Just pray. Come on,

00:07:47.610 --> 00:07:49.370
let's just stand up for a while and just move

00:07:49.370 --> 00:07:52.009
around a bit and just pray. Let's fill this atmosphere

00:07:52.009 --> 00:07:55.649
with prayer. Go ahead. Just move around a little

00:07:55.649 --> 00:08:03.790
bit and let's pray. Come on. Hallelujah. Hallelujah,

00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:07.339
Lord. We need your presence. We need more than

00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:49.399
teaching. We need more than words, oh God. Take

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:54.440
us to another dimension, oh God. Let us see you

00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:41.929
like man cannot see in Jesus' name. Forgive me,

00:09:41.990 --> 00:09:47.690
Lord. Forgive me. Forgive me, Lord. Forgive me,

00:09:47.730 --> 00:10:49.039
Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Let's take

00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:54.600
our seats. Thank you. Hallelujah. Praise God.

00:10:57.379 --> 00:11:00.980
You know what I, because I know, I know this

00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:03.759
church. I mean, I'm one of your family members

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:11.389
here. I know your pastors. I know what their

00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:14.149
desires are, their hunger. I know Kelly and his

00:11:14.149 --> 00:11:17.289
wife. I know the elders of this church. I know

00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:23.289
their hunger and their desire is for the supernatural.

00:11:24.669 --> 00:11:28.269
Because really, you don't have church until you

00:11:28.269 --> 00:11:32.789
experience the supernatural. And when we come

00:11:32.789 --> 00:11:36.169
together like in a session this morning, this

00:11:36.169 --> 00:11:41.970
really should be a repair shop. Because we go

00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:44.610
out there and we go and dwell among humans just

00:11:44.610 --> 00:11:51.950
like us. And there you get damaged. And before

00:11:51.950 --> 00:11:55.049
you know it, you act and behave just like other

00:11:55.049 --> 00:11:59.690
humans who doesn't know God. And then very soon,

00:11:59.710 --> 00:12:03.970
you learn to walk only in the dimension of the

00:12:03.970 --> 00:12:07.909
flesh. Paul said that he who walks in the flesh

00:12:07.909 --> 00:12:12.299
only knows the flesh. Of the flesh. He walks

00:12:12.299 --> 00:12:16.320
in the spirit is of the spirit. And so we have

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.200
to get to a place where we come in here like

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.740
this morning and say, Lord, fix me up. I'm damaged.

00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:32.139
I've been damaged by situations. I've been damaged

00:12:32.139 --> 00:12:36.759
by my own decisions. Raise your hand right now

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.570
and just say, Lord, please fix me up. Go ahead

00:12:39.570 --> 00:12:41.590
and just pray. Make it a prayer. Lord, please

00:12:41.590 --> 00:12:47.909
fix me up. Fix up my spirit. Because I need to

00:12:47.909 --> 00:12:53.690
hear from you. I need to see you. I don't want

00:12:53.690 --> 00:12:57.230
to just hear the music of great musicians. I

00:12:57.230 --> 00:13:01.779
want to hear the music of angels. I don't want

00:13:01.779 --> 00:13:04.100
to just hear the voice of the preacher, but I

00:13:04.100 --> 00:13:07.259
want to hear the voice of the preacher of preachers

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:12.500
speaking to me. Fix me up. Come on, cry it out

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:14.759
from the bottom of your heart. Lord, please fix

00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:24.179
me up. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen.

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:26.159
You know, I don't know if I'm going to get done

00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.480
this morning and I don't care. So I'll just,

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:32.039
my next session is tomorrow morning. And then

00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:36.519
I'll just continue there. But this morning I

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.759
just want to, I basically want to just talk to

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:45.399
you about signs that happened. And when I do

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.779
this, it's not to show you how great I was. Of

00:13:49.779 --> 00:13:53.440
course, I wasn't. But I want you to understand

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.000
how great God is and what you're missing out

00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:02.179
on. Because it's for anyone who believes. Didn't

00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:07.419
Jesus say that to those that believe, these signs

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:13.970
shall follow them that believe? Every one of

00:14:13.970 --> 00:14:17.210
us, as you sit here today, every one of us should

00:14:17.210 --> 00:14:23.389
be people who sees into the spirit realm. And

00:14:23.389 --> 00:14:25.730
all of a sudden, just things just open up in

00:14:25.730 --> 00:14:27.909
you. It's just right there in front of your eyes.

00:14:28.590 --> 00:14:31.309
You're standing in Walmart, and all of a sudden,

00:14:31.330 --> 00:14:33.289
somebody's standing in front of you, and then

00:14:33.289 --> 00:14:35.690
God gives you a word for that person. It's because

00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:39.509
you, just like that, just like that, you can...

00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:42.600
Be in another dimension because you are used

00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:49.240
to going there. And then when you hear God's

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.860
voice, others won't understand it, but you heard

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:56.000
something. Jenny said it this morning. She saw

00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.740
things move around here. And they are. These

00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:04.019
are angels that moves around. You understand,

00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.679
we're actually a people who actually can have

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.860
one foot into this dimension and another foot,

00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:17.759
as it were, in another dimension. You know, when

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.779
the angel, for example, asks Zechariah, what

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:23.259
do you see? There's something about that. What

00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:28.779
do you see? You remember that when he asked him,

00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.240
what do you see Zechariah for? You know, when

00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.559
the angel asks you that, what do you see? Really,

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:42.299
the answer is, which way do you want me to look?

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.500
You know, because what am I seeing now? I see

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:52.759
you. I see the speakers. But when God asks you,

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:56.620
what do you see? He's not interested in the speakers.

00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.240
He's not interested in the books, the lights.

00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.360
The building around you. God wants to know. Are

00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:10.039
you able. Can you look into. The places I want

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:14.139
you to see. Look what I have for you. When Basie

00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:25.039
died. I almost died. Myself. And. In fact I wanted

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:30.850
to die. And then. When God healed me six months

00:16:30.850 --> 00:16:33.830
after that, I stood under a spiritual shower.

00:16:33.909 --> 00:16:38.850
The blessings of God came over me. Now, whether

00:16:38.850 --> 00:16:40.850
you believe this or not, it doesn't matter. I

00:16:40.850 --> 00:16:43.049
know you will believe it. But there's a lot of

00:16:43.049 --> 00:16:45.149
people, when you talk about these spiritual things,

00:16:45.289 --> 00:16:47.690
they don't understand it. And therefore, they

00:16:47.690 --> 00:16:51.009
don't believe it. That pain washed away just

00:16:51.009 --> 00:16:53.250
like this. In a moment, that pain was gone. As

00:16:53.250 --> 00:16:56.049
much as I loved Basie, married with her for 50

00:16:56.049 --> 00:16:59.350
years, boom, washed it off. And then God gave

00:16:59.350 --> 00:17:02.190
me a verse, and he says, because I thought my

00:17:02.190 --> 00:17:05.190
ministry was over, my life was over, and then

00:17:05.190 --> 00:17:09.990
God said, I know what kind of plans I have for

00:17:09.990 --> 00:17:15.089
you. Do you understand? At the age of 72 then,

00:17:15.309 --> 00:17:22.789
God tells me, I have a plan for you. Come on,

00:17:22.789 --> 00:17:35.980
just. God is a phenomenal, phenomenal friend

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:40.319
to have in your life. It really, it really, I

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.880
started saying it last night, I really feel that

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.720
it's so wrong for us. We learn to say things

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.140
wrong. Sometimes I wonder how God feels about

00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:51.319
that. When we, as children of God, come together

00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.220
in a place like this and we lift our eyes up

00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:57.940
and we say, Holy Spirit, we welcome you. I mean,

00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.609
how, you know, that's... I know that's what we've

00:18:01.609 --> 00:18:08.529
learned to say, but he's welcoming you. You know,

00:18:08.609 --> 00:18:11.990
he lives in your heart. You don't have to welcome

00:18:11.990 --> 00:18:15.329
your child who eats at your table every day and

00:18:15.329 --> 00:18:17.329
when he comes from school, you say, well, I just

00:18:17.329 --> 00:18:21.630
want to welcome you. You understand? God lives

00:18:21.630 --> 00:18:27.519
in you. And you don't have to welcome him. He

00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.440
is here. Come on, can I hear an amen? You know,

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:34.019
he's with you. But now what happens is we live

00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:38.759
in that world out there with people who don't

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:44.180
believe. They talk negative all the time. They

00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:47.799
express their fears all the time. You turn the

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.059
television on and you hear negative stuff all

00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:56.539
the time. They act like fear mongers. Their goal

00:18:56.539 --> 00:19:02.400
is to be used, I'm sure, by the enemy to just

00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.599
instill fear into the hearts, not just of the

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.740
world out there, but in particular of church

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:13.690
people, God's people. People who believe in the

00:19:13.690 --> 00:19:17.190
supernatural instill fear. The moment that you

00:19:17.190 --> 00:19:20.529
embrace fear, that moment the door closes for

00:19:20.529 --> 00:19:23.670
the supernatural for you. You cannot walk in

00:19:23.670 --> 00:19:26.970
fear and then walk in faith at the same time.

00:19:27.210 --> 00:19:29.950
It's time that you say to yourself, I'm going

00:19:29.950 --> 00:19:33.710
to guard my ears. And I'm going to guard my mouth

00:19:33.710 --> 00:19:37.170
because I'm going to speak what I believe God.

00:19:37.410 --> 00:19:39.849
Oh, I feel he's anointing. Come on, just give

00:19:39.849 --> 00:19:43.009
him a praise offering. Glory to God. I'm going

00:19:43.009 --> 00:19:49.029
to do that. So that, you know, when we come together

00:19:49.029 --> 00:19:52.430
like this as all believers, everybody, believers,

00:19:52.609 --> 00:19:56.309
I don't have to defend God to you by teaching

00:19:56.309 --> 00:19:58.869
you, you know, about the Scriptures and so on.

00:19:58.890 --> 00:20:00.769
It's great to hear the Scriptures. You've heard

00:20:00.769 --> 00:20:04.390
them over and over. I don't know how many sermons

00:20:04.390 --> 00:20:06.950
have you heard in your lifetime. Kelly, how many

00:20:06.950 --> 00:20:11.210
sermons have you heard? Roughly. Would you say

00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:16.890
thousands, gazillions? Yeah, gazillions. How

00:20:16.890 --> 00:20:19.750
many? How many of you have heard gazillions of

00:20:19.750 --> 00:20:22.089
sermons? Let me just see, you know, gazillions

00:20:22.089 --> 00:20:25.549
of sermons. And then really, when we put you

00:20:25.549 --> 00:20:27.930
on a scale, if there was a scale that we could

00:20:27.930 --> 00:20:32.730
weigh you at any given time of your day, we would

00:20:32.730 --> 00:20:35.210
possibly find if there was a scale that could

00:20:35.210 --> 00:20:39.490
weigh whether you were fleshly or spiritually,

00:20:39.589 --> 00:20:43.190
most of the time the scale would indicate that

00:20:43.190 --> 00:20:52.700
you are fleshly. And so you have to do something

00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:56.000
about that. You know, I think I've shared some

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.660
of these stories with you before. You know, me,

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.380
just like Pastor Dale, I was called by God at

00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:05.720
the age of 12, and then God told me all these

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.240
things of how he was going to use me spiritually.

00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.019
And then when I went to the Bible school, the

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:14.680
worst thing I've ever done was to go to a Bible

00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.900
school. Because there they teach you religion.

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:23.099
I'm not putting Bible schools down, but I'm just

00:21:23.099 --> 00:21:28.680
telling you. They teach you religion. Only. You've

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:33.339
got to learn religion. You've got to learn dogma.

00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.039
You've got to learn in all these things, theology

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.180
and all that. That's good. But they fail to teach

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:43.829
most of their students. the most important thing

00:21:43.829 --> 00:21:47.190
is, and that is how to enter into the supernatural.

00:21:50.730 --> 00:21:54.769
And when my first church that I had, that I pastored,

00:21:54.769 --> 00:21:57.430
I remember three months after I was there, I

00:21:57.430 --> 00:22:00.049
haven't seen one miracle. I haven't seen one

00:22:00.049 --> 00:22:06.130
person saved. And I asked God, Lord, why am I

00:22:06.130 --> 00:22:09.579
not seeing these things? That you promised me

00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:12.140
at the age of 12 that I'm going to see. Why am

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:15.619
I not seeing these things? And God didn't answer

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:22.640
me. But he asked me a question. What do you think

00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:32.089
you should do? To see these things. And at that

00:22:32.089 --> 00:22:35.769
time, you know, my teaching from the Bible school

00:22:35.769 --> 00:22:39.410
and from other pastors and other people and from

00:22:39.410 --> 00:22:44.630
Christian people would tell me, tell God, you

00:22:44.630 --> 00:22:50.390
need to pray more. And I was afraid to say that

00:22:50.390 --> 00:22:52.829
because I've already committed myself to five

00:22:52.829 --> 00:22:56.670
o 'clock in the morning prayer for an hour. And

00:22:56.670 --> 00:23:02.289
to pray that hour became a monstrous. Responsibility.

00:23:02.289 --> 00:23:06.230
Because after every. Every morning going in there.

00:23:06.309 --> 00:23:08.089
And you pray. You know you pray for 10 minutes.

00:23:08.130 --> 00:23:10.970
And all the needs that you had. You mentioned

00:23:10.970 --> 00:23:13.710
them all. And now you got 45 minutes. To pray

00:23:13.710 --> 00:23:15.970
some more. And I mean it becomes a horrible.

00:23:16.809 --> 00:23:27.769
Horrible duration of time. And then you find

00:23:27.769 --> 00:23:32.130
yourself going through. Through the day with

00:23:32.130 --> 00:23:34.250
a small little notebook and listening to people,

00:23:34.329 --> 00:23:37.170
if anybody has any problem, whoa, wait, I want

00:23:37.170 --> 00:23:38.450
to hear about it. I'm going to write it down

00:23:38.450 --> 00:23:43.109
in my book. That's going to give me two extra

00:23:43.109 --> 00:23:54.769
minutes of my prayer time. So I said to the Lord

00:23:54.769 --> 00:24:05.829
very carefully, Do I need to pray more? And God

00:24:05.829 --> 00:24:10.170
sarcastically said to me, do you think maybe

00:24:10.170 --> 00:24:12.670
that while you pray all those prayers that you've

00:24:12.670 --> 00:24:15.630
been praying these last several months in the

00:24:15.630 --> 00:24:17.450
mornings, do you think maybe you should also

00:24:17.450 --> 00:24:20.690
spread glass on the floor and crawl over them

00:24:20.690 --> 00:24:23.750
so that you could bleed also and pray at the

00:24:23.750 --> 00:24:26.650
same time and spill your own blood so that you

00:24:26.650 --> 00:24:32.660
can suffer? No, Lord. And then God was silent

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:36.200
after that. And then when I got into a place

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:39.700
later that day where an office supply place,

00:24:39.819 --> 00:24:44.880
God told me to pick up a little counter. You

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.599
know, where you click and the number moves on.

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:52.519
You click, you count children that way or sheep

00:24:52.519 --> 00:25:01.599
here in Oregon. God said, pick that up. picked

00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.019
it up, and I said, Lord, what am I going to do

00:25:04.019 --> 00:25:07.619
with it? Because my wife already accuses me that

00:25:07.619 --> 00:25:12.240
I'm Mr. Gadget. What am I going to tell her?

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:16.720
What do I need a counter for? You know, and God

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.240
didn't answer anything until I got to the car.

00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:21.980
This little counter fits into your hand like

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:23.960
that, and it's got a little ring, and it fits

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.859
right around this finger of mine. And I put it

00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:30.119
like that, and I said, Lord, what must I do with

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.240
it? And God said, I want you to click that 500

00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:39.839
times today. And every time say, Jesus, glory

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:43.119
to God, hallelujah. Every time when you contact

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.519
anything with heaven, just click it one time.

00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:53.130
Just Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. To 5 o 'clock that

00:25:53.130 --> 00:25:54.990
afternoon, I looked at the number and it was

00:25:54.990 --> 00:26:01.789
300. I said, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. You

00:26:01.789 --> 00:26:10.690
understand? Because God said 500 times. And then,

00:26:10.750 --> 00:26:13.789
you know, I went for about two weeks. And then

00:26:13.789 --> 00:26:18.049
I got used to it. You know, I just. Do my work

00:26:18.049 --> 00:26:20.849
and glory to God. Hallelujah. And, you know,

00:26:20.869 --> 00:26:24.210
talk to people, counsel people. Thank you, Jesus.

00:26:24.309 --> 00:26:27.109
Thank you, Jesus. And I went over 500. Then God

00:26:27.109 --> 00:26:33.970
pushed it up to 1 ,000. Then she told me, she

00:26:33.970 --> 00:26:39.069
said, John, do you know what? You're hardly sleeping.

00:26:40.609 --> 00:26:43.910
You're praying all night long. I said, yeah,

00:26:43.910 --> 00:26:50.869
I'm making up 1 ,000, you know. But, you know,

00:26:50.910 --> 00:26:54.789
as funny as it may sound, all of a sudden God

00:26:54.789 --> 00:26:58.670
taught me it's not in repetition of words, but

00:26:58.670 --> 00:27:01.750
it's about teaching your spirit to also remain

00:27:01.750 --> 00:27:07.869
in contact with another dimension. That when

00:27:07.869 --> 00:27:12.089
you need him, you could just step into that dimension

00:27:12.089 --> 00:27:18.680
because you are right. What did you say? Yeah.

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:30.380
It's always there. You know, when you do, when

00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:32.099
you want to use these things, you want to see

00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:34.940
signs and wonders following, then you must be

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:38.480
prepared not to just see other people receive

00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.039
their miracles, but you must also understand

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.529
that God is going to teach you by example. At

00:27:45.529 --> 00:27:49.150
least that's the way it is with me. I have several

00:27:49.150 --> 00:27:52.690
books on my table there where the titles are,

00:27:52.829 --> 00:27:57.950
You Won't Believe This or Can You Believe This?

00:27:58.069 --> 00:28:03.589
You know, things that happened to me in the supernatural,

00:28:03.710 --> 00:28:08.069
some of them very funny. And every one of them,

00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:10.809
there were signs following that. For example,

00:28:10.809 --> 00:28:14.109
one time I was with another preacher. We were

00:28:14.109 --> 00:28:17.450
invited to go to Germany. I've never been to

00:28:17.450 --> 00:28:24.769
Germany at that time. And the preacher that was

00:28:24.769 --> 00:28:26.549
with me, he's actually the one that received

00:28:26.549 --> 00:28:31.769
the invitation. And I asked him before we left,

00:28:31.829 --> 00:28:34.170
do you have the address? Yes, it was over at

00:28:34.170 --> 00:28:41.779
Christmas time. And so we come to... And when

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:44.180
we stepped outside the airport, I asked him,

00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:46.660
what is the address so we can tell the cab driver?

00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.380
Oh, no, we rented a car so we could, you know,

00:28:49.380 --> 00:28:52.319
see where to go. And then he found out he don't

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:57.279
have the address. He called his office and it

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:59.519
was Christmas time. The offices are closed. Nobody

00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.160
is there. We cannot find the address. I said,

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:04.460
can you remember anything about the address?

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:10.099
No, he said, all I can remember is something

00:29:10.099 --> 00:29:15.339
like Kirchen, Kirchen something. We had to be

00:29:15.339 --> 00:29:21.000
there. So I told him, I said, this is what you

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:25.380
do. You drive the car. Don't let nobody talk.

00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:27.259
I'm going to go on my knees in the back there.

00:29:27.849 --> 00:29:30.750
And I'm going to pray. And when I say, turn left,

00:29:30.849 --> 00:29:33.390
turn left, turn right, turn right, and so on,

00:29:33.390 --> 00:29:36.390
I'm on my knees. I lead them. Turn left, turn

00:29:36.390 --> 00:29:40.089
right. Never been in that area ever in my life.

00:29:41.970 --> 00:29:45.369
And then I said, you know, I'm going to get to

00:29:45.369 --> 00:29:47.569
a T -junction. You have to turn right. We went

00:29:47.569 --> 00:29:49.970
for a long time, got to a T -junction, turned

00:29:49.970 --> 00:29:53.670
right. He said, Jan, I think you've got to look

00:29:53.670 --> 00:29:57.579
here. I think we're in the wrong place. I looked

00:29:57.579 --> 00:30:02.339
up and we're inside a mall. And the Germans,

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:04.539
they can really cuss. They're cussing us out

00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:07.200
because we're not supposed to drive there. Later

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:09.660
on, I would find out it was the shortcut to the

00:30:09.660 --> 00:30:12.319
place where we're supposed to go. And we just

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.079
keep on going through the place. And then when

00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:20.289
the directions ended. I told him, just stop here.

00:30:20.349 --> 00:30:22.269
I don't have no more directions. I don't feel

00:30:22.269 --> 00:30:24.990
no inspiration. I got out of the car. I walked

00:30:24.990 --> 00:30:28.230
across, and I said to the man working at a gas

00:30:28.230 --> 00:30:31.250
station there, do you know something about a

00:30:31.250 --> 00:30:34.670
street that's Kirchen or Getschen, something

00:30:34.670 --> 00:30:39.890
like that? Oh, he says, Kirchen, Kirchen. It's

00:30:39.890 --> 00:30:43.930
Kirchen. It's church. Do you know where that

00:30:43.930 --> 00:30:46.029
is? Sure, it's just around the corner here, a

00:30:46.029 --> 00:30:50.839
very short street. God took us all the way over

00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:55.839
this big city right up to where we needed to

00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.079
go. You understand? We're talking about signs.

00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.460
We're talking about the supernatural. You understand?

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:05.559
If you say this, if I told this to somebody else

00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:08.119
out there, they're not going to believe it. I

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:12.200
mean, it sounds too far -fetched. How about the

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:16.799
prophet that outran a horse? You know, how about

00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:20.460
telling them that? You know, how about calling

00:31:20.460 --> 00:31:25.559
down rain? We are people of the supernatural.

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:30.519
Come on, can I hear a better amen? We are people

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:32.759
of the supernatural. Now, I'm not going to do

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.099
that just to show off because then it's not going

00:31:36.099 --> 00:31:38.940
to work. You've got to go in there in absolute

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:41.359
humbleness. You've got to go there with just

00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.019
absolute desperation. Lord, I need your help.

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:51.019
We need help here. And, you know, whenever, that's

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:53.500
one of the problems that we have here in the

00:31:53.500 --> 00:31:56.299
United States. People ask, one man asked me one

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:59.039
time, why don't you see miracles in America anymore

00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.279
like you guys used to? And why do you see it

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.259
overseas more than here? And I know what pastor

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:07.700
said last night. We see miracles over here. We

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:10.019
do. Sure enough, we see a lot of miracles here.

00:32:10.140 --> 00:32:14.579
But not like we're supposed to. We are one of

00:32:14.579 --> 00:32:17.480
the nations that, in fact, we are the nation,

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:20.420
if it wasn't for the United States of America,

00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:24.039
we would not, the world would not be where it

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:26.339
is right now as far as the gospel is concerned.

00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:31.099
95 cents out of every dollar that reaches the

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:33.559
mission fields comes from the United States.

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:39.599
But while they kept on discovering the supernatural,

00:32:39.619 --> 00:32:45.210
we settled for commercialism. On this side. Here

00:32:45.210 --> 00:32:47.750
in the United States today, it's all about money

00:32:47.750 --> 00:32:50.509
and big buildings. Thank God for the pastor putting

00:32:50.509 --> 00:32:52.890
up this building. A very humble building, but

00:32:52.890 --> 00:32:56.410
look how nice it looks. Why spend all these...

00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:59.200
billions and millions of money into buildings,

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:01.940
and there's people out there dying of hunger.

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:04.940
We got our priorities so screwed up and so messed

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:08.079
up. It's time for us to get our priorities right

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:11.279
again and say, Lord, open up our eyes again for

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:17.279
the supernatural. Let us see signs, wonders following.

00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:20.019
Go ahead. Give Him a great praise offering. Glory

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:29.059
to God. You know, when I fell off the roof, and

00:33:29.059 --> 00:33:32.519
how many of you have heard about my testimony

00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:34.440
when I fell off the roof? Let me just see your

00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.380
hands. How many of you have not heard it? Let

00:33:36.380 --> 00:33:38.180
me just see your hands. Oh, there's quite a few.

00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:40.339
Well, for the sake of those, let me just say

00:33:40.339 --> 00:33:43.079
it shortly. I was helping a church put a roof

00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:46.279
on a building, a four -story building, and a

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:51.740
deacon pulled me off balance, and I fell four

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:54.880
stories. He said it was by accident. I don't

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:59.569
believe him. I don't trust deacons. I told people

00:33:59.569 --> 00:34:05.670
I don't trust deacons. I'm just kidding, but

00:34:05.670 --> 00:34:12.610
I fell four stories high. They said, I didn't

00:34:12.610 --> 00:34:14.909
know because I was not there, but they said I

00:34:14.909 --> 00:34:18.949
died. Instantly dead. My head hit the ground

00:34:18.949 --> 00:34:25.530
so hard. Fell a hole into a seven -inch concrete

00:34:25.530 --> 00:34:32.360
floor. I'm kidding. But I did. I mean, I hit

00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:37.119
it hard. And an old man came and stood over me

00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:40.119
when the ambulance man said, there's no hope.

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:44.280
He's dead. They're ready to just pull a sheet

00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:49.480
over my face. But an old man came and put his

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:54.079
legs across my body like this. And he said to

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:58.690
the fire people, Will you give us a chance? We

00:34:58.690 --> 00:35:01.210
need to talk to God. This man's work is not over

00:35:01.210 --> 00:35:06.369
yet. And prayed and called upon heaven. And a

00:35:06.369 --> 00:35:09.610
wonderful sign followed when I cried out and

00:35:09.610 --> 00:35:12.769
said, you know, what's going on? Because I couldn't

00:35:12.769 --> 00:35:16.190
straighten my arms. I came alive. You understand?

00:35:16.329 --> 00:35:20.510
That's a sign. That's a sign of wonder. Come

00:35:20.510 --> 00:35:28.210
on. That's a wonder. Then when they took me to

00:35:28.210 --> 00:35:31.110
the hospital, they could fix everything, 26 broken

00:35:31.110 --> 00:35:34.909
bodies, broken bones. But this arm, they just

00:35:34.909 --> 00:35:38.170
could not get it fixed, and they tried to remove

00:35:38.170 --> 00:35:40.670
this. In fact, they removed the elbow, and when

00:35:40.670 --> 00:35:43.630
they put an artificial elbow in there, the body

00:35:43.630 --> 00:35:50.409
rejected the elbow. An incredible infection set

00:35:50.409 --> 00:35:52.849
in. Don't you think for one minute that when

00:35:52.849 --> 00:35:56.380
you walk with God, You know, nothing bad is going

00:35:56.380 --> 00:36:00.719
to happen to you. On the contrary, you know,

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:04.400
all sorts of stuff will happen to you. But God

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:06.739
wants you to understand and to remember that

00:36:06.739 --> 00:36:10.039
there is nothing that can come to you that you

00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:14.820
cannot handle. God will not allow you to be tempted

00:36:14.820 --> 00:36:17.380
above which you are able. Come on, give Him a

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:24.780
shout of praise. Glory to God. And then you will

00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:30.099
remember that when they wanted to amputate this

00:36:30.099 --> 00:36:32.559
arm. In fact, they said, it's got to be amputated.

00:36:33.820 --> 00:36:36.059
And I said, you're not going to amputate my arm.

00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.699
The doctor said, you're being stubborn. Why don't

00:36:40.699 --> 00:36:42.380
you want us to amputate that arm? It's going

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:48.880
to kill you. I said, because that's my arm. That's

00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:50.780
why I don't want you to amputate it. It's my

00:36:50.780 --> 00:37:00.190
arm. And I only have one on that side. So they

00:37:00.190 --> 00:37:03.570
did an operation, and Dale was there, and they

00:37:03.570 --> 00:37:07.929
prayed with me. They put this arm, they put a

00:37:07.929 --> 00:37:10.929
rod inside the arm this way, a rod inside there,

00:37:11.010 --> 00:37:14.309
and inside the arm they put a bolt that locked

00:37:14.309 --> 00:37:17.929
it in this position so it could still use the

00:37:17.929 --> 00:37:21.030
wrist. But man, that was horrible. You try and

00:37:21.030 --> 00:37:23.050
fix your tie with an arm that don't want to get

00:37:23.050 --> 00:37:25.210
up there. You know, try and fix your shoes and

00:37:25.210 --> 00:37:29.869
it didn't work for me. I said to him and Brother

00:37:29.869 --> 00:37:37.590
Schambach, I need an arm that will work. Brother

00:37:37.590 --> 00:37:39.989
Schambach said, come on, let's do it. He called

00:37:39.989 --> 00:37:45.110
Dale and the two of them laid hands on me. Just

00:37:45.110 --> 00:37:53.030
a simple prayer. Lord. make that belt become

00:37:53.030 --> 00:37:58.150
a hinge. I had to go to India the very next day.

00:37:58.190 --> 00:38:00.469
I went to India the next day, and when I got

00:38:00.469 --> 00:38:02.769
to India, I struggled to tie my shoe, and when

00:38:02.769 --> 00:38:07.690
I did it, my arm, I heard it snap. And that hinge,

00:38:07.889 --> 00:38:11.190
whatever happened, I mean, it just let go, and

00:38:11.190 --> 00:38:14.409
my arm all of a sudden started working. I called

00:38:14.409 --> 00:38:18.230
my doctor and I said, doctor, my arm started

00:38:18.230 --> 00:38:20.789
working. He said, hey, wait a minute, define

00:38:20.789 --> 00:38:28.630
working. I said, well, what happens is this arm,

00:38:28.750 --> 00:38:32.530
I can bend it, told him. He said, no, no, no,

00:38:32.530 --> 00:38:34.710
no, Jan, please don't bend that arm. Something

00:38:34.710 --> 00:38:38.829
went horribly wrong. I said, doctor, something

00:38:38.829 --> 00:38:46.699
went wonderfully right. God gave me an arm like

00:38:46.699 --> 00:38:48.739
this, and I mean, I went around the world for

00:38:48.739 --> 00:38:52.460
about seven, eight years testifying around the

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:55.360
world how God gave me another elbow from two

00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:02.960
metal rods. And then I was on my knees praying

00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:05.440
one day, and when I got up, I pushed myself up

00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:10.280
like that, and this arm inside shattered into,

00:39:10.539 --> 00:39:17.650
I mean, so many pieces. I went to my doctor and

00:39:17.650 --> 00:39:19.710
I showed him. He took an x -ray. He said, John,

00:39:19.730 --> 00:39:22.210
what did you do? I said, I didn't do nothing.

00:39:23.670 --> 00:39:26.849
I mean, this thing just broke and, I mean, shattered.

00:39:28.690 --> 00:39:31.130
He said, well, I tell you what, there's nothing,

00:39:31.289 --> 00:39:35.070
nothing we can do for you. Took the rods out.

00:39:36.550 --> 00:39:40.869
This arm here, I mean, we have to, my wife makes

00:39:40.869 --> 00:39:43.010
my cuffs shorter so you can't really see it,

00:39:43.030 --> 00:39:45.889
but it's, it's. That much shorter than the other

00:39:45.889 --> 00:39:52.769
one. And he told me. He says. We don't know what's

00:39:52.769 --> 00:39:56.449
going to happen now. You don't want us to amputate

00:39:56.449 --> 00:40:00.230
the arm. There's nothing between here and there.

00:40:00.329 --> 00:40:02.269
There's no connection. You can see. There's no

00:40:02.269 --> 00:40:05.769
connection. There's all loose. You know. This

00:40:05.769 --> 00:40:15.449
thing can go any direction. You know. I demonstrated

00:40:15.449 --> 00:40:18.110
that to a church in New Mexico and the pastor

00:40:18.110 --> 00:40:35.730
threw up right away. You know. My wife was with

00:40:35.730 --> 00:40:38.090
me a couple of weeks ago when we were at my doctor

00:40:38.090 --> 00:40:44.019
and he just did a general checkup. I asked him,

00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:47.119
I said, doctor, how come this arm? Because he

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:51.800
told me that this part is going to rot away because

00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:55.320
there's no proper blood flow going through there,

00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:58.460
done about the nerves. Craziest thing is when

00:40:58.460 --> 00:41:03.320
I have this arm under the covers, I know where

00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:07.880
this arm is as long as my eyes can see it. But

00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:10.739
when it's under the covers, I told my wife, new

00:41:10.739 --> 00:41:17.179
wife, she's only two years old. I said, I've

00:41:17.179 --> 00:41:20.659
got to tell you that what happens under the covers,

00:41:20.739 --> 00:41:30.960
I have no control over. I'm not kidding you,

00:41:31.019 --> 00:41:34.159
it's the truth. Many times at night, I've got

00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:36.559
to... I've got to toss around, where's my arm?

00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:40.639
You know, where's my arm? Because my brain doesn't

00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:46.760
connect with that part. And yet, over here it's

00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.360
dead, but over there, I could stick it with a

00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:52.500
needle, and I have feeling until I put it under

00:41:52.500 --> 00:41:56.380
the covers. And so I asked my doctor, and he

00:41:56.380 --> 00:42:00.840
said, I don't know. That's not supposed to work.

00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:08.579
You know what it is? It's a sign following a

00:42:08.579 --> 00:42:16.420
prayer. It's a sign following a prayer. You know,

00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:21.420
when that arm shattered that time, I knew what

00:42:21.420 --> 00:42:26.159
the enemy tried to do. He tried to make out that

00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:29.880
as if my testimony over the last seven years

00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:36.840
is now destroyed. For seven years, this arm worked

00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:44.500
with a converted metal joint. Then God showed

00:42:44.500 --> 00:42:49.760
the enemy, I can now give him a Nike joint working

00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:56.980
on air. This is, this is, it doesn't need, it

00:42:56.980 --> 00:42:59.940
doesn't need no elbow, nothing. See, it doesn't

00:42:59.940 --> 00:43:02.780
need no elbow. And it's strong, I'm telling you,

00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:05.969
it's strong. It does everything. So why am I

00:43:05.969 --> 00:43:08.110
saying this? I'm just telling you so that you

00:43:08.110 --> 00:43:11.329
could understand. God can do great things. You

00:43:11.329 --> 00:43:13.690
know, some time ago they called me about a lady

00:43:13.690 --> 00:43:20.710
that's about to give birth for a baby boy. And

00:43:20.710 --> 00:43:23.530
when they took x -rays, the brain is outside

00:43:23.530 --> 00:43:31.489
the baby's body. And I prayed, you know. I'm

00:43:31.489 --> 00:43:33.710
sure many of you have experienced this. You can

00:43:33.710 --> 00:43:37.409
clearly tell when you pray. Isn't that right,

00:43:37.489 --> 00:43:40.670
Pastor? You can clearly tell when you're actually

00:43:40.670 --> 00:43:44.010
now going into another dimension, Pastor. You

00:43:44.010 --> 00:43:49.449
know that, Pastor. Pastor Brad. I went into that

00:43:49.449 --> 00:43:52.510
dimension and prayed. Three days later, the baby

00:43:52.510 --> 00:43:57.030
came out totally, totally normal. Brain inside

00:43:57.030 --> 00:44:07.389
and the baby healed. My grandson was born with

00:44:07.389 --> 00:44:13.590
Down syndrome. And at the age of three, he hadn't

00:44:13.590 --> 00:44:17.130
walked, hadn't crawled, hadn't spoken. And at

00:44:17.130 --> 00:44:19.789
the age of three, right there in Brother Swin's

00:44:19.789 --> 00:44:23.610
church, where I stood with him in my arms and

00:44:23.610 --> 00:44:26.489
I wasn't preaching that day and just worshiping

00:44:26.489 --> 00:44:31.550
and I cried and I said, God, you know, I cannot

00:44:31.550 --> 00:44:34.070
tell you that I'm working so hard for you and

00:44:34.070 --> 00:44:37.630
for that reason, you know, I'm asking you to

00:44:37.630 --> 00:44:42.090
heal my grandson. He's got my name. It's my only

00:44:42.090 --> 00:44:48.949
namesake. And then I said, will you please, Lord,

00:44:49.050 --> 00:44:53.719
just... Please heal my grandson because I know

00:44:53.719 --> 00:45:00.599
you can. You know, it's like the man that said,

00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:04.739
I know if you will, you can heal me. See, that's

00:45:04.739 --> 00:45:09.059
talking other dimension talk. Come on, can I

00:45:09.059 --> 00:45:12.059
hear an amen? See, it's all in the talking. You

00:45:12.059 --> 00:45:14.320
got to say it. It's like the woman with the issue

00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:20.380
of blood. When I, not if, when I touch. The hem

00:45:20.380 --> 00:45:27.280
of his garment, I will be made whole. Then Jesus

00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:31.739
gets up and he says, you know, after he had spoken

00:45:31.739 --> 00:45:35.679
to her, go away, you've been, well, the Bible

00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.880
says that when she touched him, she was healed.

00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:46.239
But that's not what she asked for. She asked

00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:50.460
to be whole. A lot of times people come forward

00:45:50.460 --> 00:45:54.860
here for prayer, and their problem for that problem

00:45:54.860 --> 00:45:57.460
that, I mean, the reason for the problem they

00:45:57.460 --> 00:46:04.320
have is because of some sinful lifestyle, unforgiveness,

00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:08.840
or whatever. Whatever cause, could be stress.

00:46:08.940 --> 00:46:10.599
You know, all these things can make you sick.

00:46:10.980 --> 00:46:13.099
Now, you come here, and then God heals you. You

00:46:13.099 --> 00:46:15.519
go home with the same lifestyle. Boom, that same

00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:19.570
problem is back. And then when she said she told

00:46:19.570 --> 00:46:23.630
him all the truth, she came clean. He told her,

00:46:23.630 --> 00:46:26.409
you can go and read it. He told her, go away,

00:46:26.409 --> 00:46:30.409
you've been made whole. It's all, everything

00:46:30.409 --> 00:46:36.210
gone. It'll never come back again. And so I prayed

00:46:36.210 --> 00:46:40.829
for my grandson, Lord, make him whole. When we

00:46:40.829 --> 00:46:43.269
came home, I put him on a blanket while they

00:46:43.269 --> 00:46:45.489
were making food. And we were busy there in the

00:46:45.489 --> 00:46:47.869
kitchen. And the next minute, this little toddler

00:46:47.869 --> 00:46:52.550
comes struggling from one chair to another. Just

00:46:52.550 --> 00:46:54.929
walking from one chair to another, holding on

00:46:54.929 --> 00:46:57.889
for the first time in his life. Today, he's,

00:46:57.889 --> 00:47:03.530
what, 20? He finished high school. He was many,

00:47:03.670 --> 00:47:10.250
many years. Almost every year, he was... Told

00:47:10.250 --> 00:47:12.570
to be a genius. I mean, you know how they test

00:47:12.570 --> 00:47:17.230
the kids and get the IQ of a genius. God healed

00:47:17.230 --> 00:47:25.090
him. No syndrome. Now down syndrome. See, here's

00:47:25.090 --> 00:47:27.289
the thing. Before I continue with my stories,

00:47:27.389 --> 00:47:30.610
here's the thing. You have to learn. You are

00:47:30.610 --> 00:47:33.690
a spiritual being. Look at somebody and say you're

00:47:33.690 --> 00:47:38.309
a spiritual being. This, what you see, is just

00:47:38.309 --> 00:47:41.730
the tent, a temporal tent that you're living

00:47:41.730 --> 00:47:44.329
in. Your spirit man is living in a temporal tent

00:47:44.329 --> 00:47:46.909
that very soon we're going to put in a six -foot

00:47:46.909 --> 00:47:51.269
hole. But he who believes in me, even though

00:47:51.269 --> 00:47:54.449
he dies, yet will he live. He will continue living.

00:47:54.929 --> 00:48:01.110
Because this is not you. You are the spirit person

00:48:01.110 --> 00:48:04.750
behind. And all you have to learn is teach yourself.

00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:09.579
To be who you are. Don't teach yourself to be

00:48:09.579 --> 00:48:12.760
who other people are. You're a child of God.

00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:14.900
That's why, you understand, before you can see

00:48:14.900 --> 00:48:19.739
God, you have to become born again. You cannot

00:48:19.739 --> 00:48:23.420
see God. Paul said the natural man does not receive

00:48:23.420 --> 00:48:27.519
the things of the Spirit of God. Because to him

00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:33.409
it's foolishness. You understand, the spirit

00:48:33.409 --> 00:48:35.769
man, that's why you must be born again. That's

00:48:35.769 --> 00:48:38.789
why you must be a person of prayer. That's why

00:48:38.789 --> 00:48:41.849
you must be somebody that constantly makes contact

00:48:41.849 --> 00:48:45.650
with the dimension on the other side there, constantly.

00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:50.880
It's not just enough for just your pastors and

00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.559
the elders to be people that can lay hands on

00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:57.039
you. Every one of us can go into another dimension

00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.800
and see wonderful signs following your prayer

00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:03.900
because God is in you and he lives in you. Come

00:49:03.900 --> 00:49:11.900
on, give him a shout of praise for that. But

00:49:11.900 --> 00:49:15.300
what is happening is you're teaching. You have

00:49:15.300 --> 00:49:20.940
to teach yourself. To be an unbeliever or to

00:49:20.940 --> 00:49:25.619
have unbelief. You have to teach yourself that.

00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:30.340
It doesn't come natural. You have to teach yourself

00:49:30.340 --> 00:49:35.119
to have unbelief. Because you know that there's

00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:42.760
never been a moment or a person where God ever

00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:48.460
failed. Yes? You know that with God all things

00:49:48.460 --> 00:49:51.800
are possible. You know the Bible says, Jesus

00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:54.639
said to himself, with God nothing is impossible.

00:49:55.980 --> 00:50:01.199
So why fear then? Tell you why you fear. It's

00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:06.750
because of pride. That's the first thing that

00:50:06.750 --> 00:50:10.050
had to go. When I asked God there that morning,

00:50:10.429 --> 00:50:13.269
why don't I see these things? And not only did

00:50:13.269 --> 00:50:18.690
God deal me with the prayer thing, but he dealt

00:50:18.690 --> 00:50:21.230
with me in this way. He told me, now go ahead

00:50:21.230 --> 00:50:25.510
and go and take out a full page ad in the newspaper

00:50:25.510 --> 00:50:27.869
and tell them Sunday night you're praying for

00:50:27.869 --> 00:50:34.219
the sick and the blind will heal. We'll see and

00:50:34.219 --> 00:50:40.099
the deaf will hear and the lame will walk. Two

00:50:40.099 --> 00:50:42.320
miles this way, there's a school for the blind.

00:50:43.860 --> 00:50:46.139
Three miles the opposite direction, a school

00:50:46.139 --> 00:50:49.980
for the deaf. And our church right behind an

00:50:49.980 --> 00:50:53.820
orthopedic hospital. And I didn't put out the

00:50:53.820 --> 00:50:57.820
page. And then the next morning or the next week,

00:50:57.860 --> 00:51:00.159
God asked me, why didn't you put out the page?

00:51:01.099 --> 00:51:07.019
Like I told you. I said, Lord, because I was

00:51:07.019 --> 00:51:11.719
afraid. You know about the blind school here.

00:51:13.019 --> 00:51:18.039
They'll bus them in. And the deaf people, they'll

00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:24.260
bus them in. Here behind in the hospital, they

00:51:24.260 --> 00:51:27.679
don't even need buses. They just bring them on

00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:33.059
the stretches. Bring them here. So, who heals

00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:39.860
them? Why are you afraid? Are you afraid for

00:51:39.860 --> 00:51:44.480
me? Or are you afraid because it's your pride?

00:51:48.639 --> 00:51:52.320
See, we have to learn these things. It's easy

00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:55.159
to say, Lord, I know you heal, but then you're

00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:59.420
too afraid to. To do it yourself. Many people

00:51:59.420 --> 00:52:01.420
are too afraid to even come out for their miracle.

00:52:03.099 --> 00:52:05.360
They first wait for somebody else to come out.

00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:07.400
And then they'll come out here. Well let me see

00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:10.260
what happens to me too. You turkey lips. You

00:52:10.260 --> 00:52:12.039
may as well go and sit down. Nothing is going

00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:19.519
to happen. You want to come out here. After you've

00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:21.880
already been there. And your seat made up your

00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:28.360
mind. God is my healer. I'm not just an earthling.

00:52:29.420 --> 00:52:34.539
I'm also a heavenly citizen. And my body is supposed

00:52:34.539 --> 00:52:38.000
to be healthy so that I could work for God. And

00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:40.500
even when I walk, live with an arm like this,

00:52:40.539 --> 00:52:42.460
sometimes I forget that people are looking at

00:52:42.460 --> 00:52:44.519
me when I stand like this, because that's my

00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.099
most comfortable position, just like that. And

00:52:47.099 --> 00:52:49.519
they look at me, what's going on with your arm?

00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:53.039
I have a chance every time to say, my God healed

00:52:53.039 --> 00:53:01.599
this arm here, you know. Glory to God. God had

00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:05.420
to first teach me not to be afraid. Today, they

00:53:05.420 --> 00:53:09.480
bring wheelchairs in. Same with you. They bring

00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:12.440
them in. In Africa, I mean, they'll bring horribly

00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:19.440
sick people to you. All I do is I lay hands on

00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:21.539
them and pray for them. That's all God said I

00:53:21.539 --> 00:53:25.500
must do. I lay hands on them. I pray for them.

00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:28.900
And I walk away. I was in Arkansas some time

00:53:28.900 --> 00:53:31.960
ago. And this lady came. She had a shoe built

00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:35.280
up like that. Something horrible happened after

00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:39.360
a very bad accident. She came forward. She said,

00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:42.760
if God can do this for your arm, then God can

00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:48.019
do it for me. For my leg. I said, sure. I laid

00:53:48.019 --> 00:53:50.880
my hand on her. I said, Lord, thank you for healing

00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:56.659
her. And I just moved on. And she was so dissatisfied.

00:53:56.679 --> 00:54:01.380
She was so unhappy. She came there afterwards

00:54:01.380 --> 00:54:05.760
when I was at my tape table. Why didn't you pray

00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:12.579
for me? I said, I did. But that wasn't really

00:54:12.579 --> 00:54:18.960
a long prayer. You know, with God, you don't

00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:24.380
have to say long prayers. He didn't even, nowhere

00:54:24.380 --> 00:54:27.000
in the Bible do you even read that you should

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:30.599
pray for the sick. He said, lay hands on the

00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:34.460
sick. So I said, go back to the front there and

00:54:34.460 --> 00:54:37.079
go and receive your healing. She stumbles back,

00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:39.400
walks there, you know, like that to the front.

00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:43.460
This is in Mena, Arkansas. And then all of a

00:54:43.460 --> 00:54:46.159
sudden I hear the scream and then other screams.

00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.960
When she sat there, the seat and that shoe just.

00:54:51.340 --> 00:54:53.059
Stretched out like that. I mean, just like that.

00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:55.780
People said they sat there and they saw the foot

00:54:55.780 --> 00:54:58.380
just stretch out like that. And God healed her.

00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:02.260
God healed her, not John. It's God that brings

00:55:02.260 --> 00:55:06.849
signs and that brings wonders. You don't need

00:55:06.849 --> 00:55:09.829
a long prayer. You just need somebody that believes

00:55:09.829 --> 00:55:12.510
God is now going to do it. He did it for me.

00:55:12.550 --> 00:55:14.710
He's going to do it for you. If you're in this

00:55:14.710 --> 00:55:16.909
house here today and whatever your problem is,

00:55:17.030 --> 00:55:20.489
all you need is make contact with God in the

00:55:20.489 --> 00:55:23.550
next dimension. Walk forward here and see what

00:55:23.550 --> 00:55:25.429
is going to happen. Come on. Give Him another

00:55:25.429 --> 00:55:28.530
shout of praise. My God is in charge. Glory to

00:55:28.530 --> 00:55:38.099
God. Well, you know, Hanley and I, we've been

00:55:38.099 --> 00:55:40.380
looking to find property there where we live

00:55:40.380 --> 00:55:44.480
in Rogers. I mean, you cannot believe. I mean,

00:55:44.539 --> 00:55:48.860
six months now. First of all, the property has

00:55:48.860 --> 00:55:53.619
just gone sky high. And then finally we decided

00:55:53.619 --> 00:55:57.480
we're going to just get a mobile home. We can

00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:01.960
afford a mobile home. But then we couldn't find

00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:07.179
property. I mean. We go to a piece of property,

00:56:07.260 --> 00:56:09.000
and when we like it, then we call the agent,

00:56:09.159 --> 00:56:12.039
and it's already taken. It's already taken. Six

00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:20.460
months of that. And then an agent called Hanley

00:56:20.460 --> 00:56:26.360
last Saturday. Early in the morning, she said,

00:56:26.380 --> 00:56:28.199
I know of a property that's going to go on the

00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:32.659
market right now. Nobody knows about it. Go out

00:56:32.659 --> 00:56:34.820
there quickly. See if you like it. Call me back.

00:56:36.059 --> 00:56:39.659
We go out there. Yeah, we like it. We wanted

00:56:39.659 --> 00:56:41.940
to tell her before we went out there, we like

00:56:41.940 --> 00:56:46.800
it, we'll take it. Without even seeing it. But

00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:48.760
she said, no, you got to go out there. We go

00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:51.860
out there and we call her immediately. We like

00:56:51.860 --> 00:56:54.079
that property. She said, you're not going to

00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:58.960
believe this. I was just called by the same people

00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:05.289
said that that property is sold. I only went

00:57:05.289 --> 00:57:08.429
and slept for the rest of the day. She wouldn't

00:57:08.429 --> 00:57:15.170
get up. She was just so down. I finally brought

00:57:15.170 --> 00:57:17.909
her a cup of coffee late in the afternoon. Come

00:57:17.909 --> 00:57:21.530
on, honey. God is going to give us something.

00:57:24.050 --> 00:57:27.010
Say it. I said to her, say it. You see, here's

00:57:27.010 --> 00:57:33.500
the thing. You've got to learn to say it. You

00:57:33.500 --> 00:57:35.579
don't just receive it, you've got to say it.

00:57:36.659 --> 00:57:39.199
Whoever says to this mountain, you know, on my

00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:40.800
table there's that little book. If you don't

00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:43.639
have it yet, please go and get that little book.

00:57:43.739 --> 00:57:48.579
It's called Warriors from the Secret Place. The

00:57:48.579 --> 00:57:52.519
secret place where you go in there, Satan don't

00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:56.300
know where you are. People don't know where that

00:57:56.300 --> 00:57:59.579
secret place is. It's a wonderful place. You

00:57:59.579 --> 00:58:01.800
go in there, Satan don't know where you are.

00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:04.800
If you want to know where that secret place is,

00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:07.840
you've got to pay $5 and buy that book out there.

00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:30.699
That's a Mennonite laugh. Oh, my goodness. I

00:58:30.699 --> 00:58:33.869
told her, I said, God's going to give us a piece

00:58:33.869 --> 00:58:38.130
of property. She took a deep breath. She said,

00:58:38.150 --> 00:58:39.969
God's going to give us a piece of property. That

00:58:39.969 --> 00:58:42.869
was on Saturday. Sunday morning we're called.

00:58:43.789 --> 00:58:46.670
And the man says, I'll tell you what. I've decided,

00:58:46.949 --> 00:58:50.730
my wife and I decided to give you two acres of

00:58:50.730 --> 00:59:06.719
property. Three. I'll tell you, we rejoiced.

00:59:06.820 --> 00:59:14.019
But then the man said, but, he said, you are

00:59:14.019 --> 00:59:20.219
going to need a miracle. There's no entrance

00:59:20.219 --> 00:59:25.179
to that property. We have tried. I've done everything

00:59:25.179 --> 00:59:29.719
I can for the neighbors on both sides to give

00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:33.679
permission for us to have an easement. We need,

00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:38.619
you need an easement. Otherwise, that property

00:59:38.619 --> 00:59:44.519
means nothing to you. I prayed. Hanley and I

00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:48.000
prayed right away. But then I, you know, let

00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:51.000
me tell you something. You know, when you need

00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:54.239
a miracle, can I teach you something? Everybody

00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:57.320
say yes or no. When you need a miracle, don't

00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:03.460
call somebody that whispers when they pray. When

01:00:03.460 --> 01:00:07.320
you need a miracle, call on somebody. They can

01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:11.340
pray so loud. The people on the outside of the

01:00:11.340 --> 01:00:14.139
building can hear them right there in the motorhomes,

01:00:14.139 --> 01:00:18.800
in the outside there, you know, so loud. I called

01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:28.179
Pastor Brad. I know the man can pray loud. But

01:00:28.179 --> 01:00:32.840
I'll say, no, he prays in faith. My brother,

01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:34.980
he's the one that gave us the property. He said,

01:00:34.980 --> 01:00:38.739
Jan, let me tell you right now. There's just,

01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:42.199
I've tried over and over, and there's no waste.

01:00:42.260 --> 01:00:44.579
I'm telling you, you're not going to get an easement.

01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:51.079
So I said to Pastor Brad, we're in our car traveling.

01:00:51.179 --> 01:00:53.639
I tell you what, that man prayed and touched

01:00:53.639 --> 01:00:58.619
heaven. I mean, while we're driving, we could

01:00:58.619 --> 01:01:02.820
feel the anointing of God just absolutely, you

01:01:02.820 --> 01:01:06.320
know, drive, I mean, vibrate that car. And it

01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:09.099
wasn't the engine. I mean, it was just vibration

01:01:09.099 --> 01:01:12.639
throughout. I come there to that man. He comes

01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:15.760
and stands there in front of me, and he is absolutely

01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:22.599
in submission when I tell him my story. And then

01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:29.880
I find out. He's a wonderful child of God. God,

01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:32.119
I mean, I could have gone to the other side and

01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:34.079
that would have been something different. I'm

01:01:34.079 --> 01:01:35.780
sure it would have still happened, but God sent

01:01:35.780 --> 01:01:39.039
me to the right one. And that man, he said, get

01:01:39.039 --> 01:01:41.119
in the car, get in the truck, let's go and look.

01:01:41.239 --> 01:01:43.599
We went down there where it's necessary. And

01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:49.219
he said, everything you need is yours. Everything

01:01:49.219 --> 01:01:53.679
you need is yours. Oh, come on, somebody shout

01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:59.900
for him, will you? Glory to God. Come on, just

01:01:59.900 --> 01:02:09.739
out loud, just praise him. Glory to God. You

01:02:09.739 --> 01:02:12.579
know, I'm telling you these things so that you

01:02:12.579 --> 01:02:14.940
could understand that when you touch God and

01:02:14.940 --> 01:02:16.840
you know that, and we're going to do it here

01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:19.760
this morning for those of you that feel that

01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:23.760
you are ready. To enter into that dimension.

01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:31.199
Then just watch what is going to happen. Is there

01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:33.960
anybody here that really has pain sitting right

01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:36.000
now? I mean really sitting with pain in your

01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:38.159
body right now. Let me just see your hand. Anybody

01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:40.440
that's got pain in this moment in your body?

01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:53.369
Who's that? What's wrong? Loud. Say that again.

01:02:55.550 --> 01:03:02.550
Your stomach hurting. Since when? Where? Show

01:03:02.550 --> 01:03:06.530
me where it hurts. You know, and you're a child

01:03:06.530 --> 01:03:10.150
of God, right? Yeah. You know, when we're children

01:03:10.150 --> 01:03:13.329
of God, that means that, you know, especially

01:03:13.329 --> 01:03:16.690
when you're a child of God, this is the bread

01:03:16.690 --> 01:03:21.300
of his children. Yes? And is it pain now? I mean,

01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:24.039
you're still paining right now. You know, Jesus

01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:26.760
said, well, you lay hands on the sick like this.

01:03:26.800 --> 01:03:28.900
You know that, right? Just lay hands on the sick

01:03:28.900 --> 01:03:30.980
just like that. That's all he said, just like

01:03:30.980 --> 01:03:33.840
that. I just laid my hands on you, right? And

01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:36.300
I know the pain was there a minute ago, but where's

01:03:36.300 --> 01:03:39.579
the pain now? Where is it now? I know that's

01:03:39.579 --> 01:03:43.739
where it was, but is the pain now? Where is it?

01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:49.530
It's gone. Come on, just. I mean, really. Come

01:03:49.530 --> 01:03:52.150
here. Come here. Come here. Come here. Where's

01:03:52.150 --> 01:03:57.690
that microphone? Where's that microphone? You

01:03:57.690 --> 01:04:00.469
know, you know what Paul said? Paul said, I didn't

01:04:00.469 --> 01:04:02.449
come. Thank you so much. We didn't come with

01:04:02.449 --> 01:04:05.849
excellency of speech. We didn't come and try

01:04:05.849 --> 01:04:08.570
and impress you with words of wisdom. But we

01:04:08.570 --> 01:04:13.050
came to demonstrate to you the power of God.

01:04:14.469 --> 01:04:20.940
Amen? Tell them how the pain was this morning.

01:04:21.340 --> 01:04:24.219
It was cramping. Yes. It was really hurting.

01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:26.800
And when you were sitting there, what did you

01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:30.280
feel before I prayed for you? It was like hurting

01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:33.380
and cramping still. And then what happened when

01:04:33.380 --> 01:04:36.500
I put my hand on your head? It went away. Right

01:04:36.500 --> 01:04:41.000
away? Yeah. Look at that. I mean, it's gone.

01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:50.949
Is it gone? Yes. Look at her eyes when I ask

01:04:50.949 --> 01:04:53.510
her that. Just look at her eyes. Is it really

01:04:53.510 --> 01:04:58.769
gone? Yes. It's really gone. Come on, give him

01:04:58.769 --> 01:05:08.510
another hand. Thank you so much. You know. We

01:05:08.510 --> 01:05:13.429
have to understand that it happens every time.

01:05:15.539 --> 01:05:18.179
Sometimes you just stand next to somebody. Wasn't

01:05:18.179 --> 01:05:22.159
it in the New Testament that the disciples walked

01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:26.880
and their shadow fell on people? Only their shadow.

01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:31.699
And people received healing. We have learned

01:05:31.699 --> 01:05:34.380
there's got to be with prayer, long words. Yes,

01:05:34.420 --> 01:05:36.960
of course we pray. We love to pray. Love to use

01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:38.760
the name of Jesus. But you have to understand,

01:05:38.880 --> 01:05:43.190
also we do everything in the name of Jesus. One

01:05:43.190 --> 01:05:47.389
more testimony, then I'm going to close. You

01:05:47.389 --> 01:05:50.250
know that I was in the Special Forces in South

01:05:50.250 --> 01:05:53.750
Africa, and there's been a lot of things that

01:05:53.750 --> 01:05:56.989
happened there. I was there, I was pastoring

01:05:56.989 --> 01:05:59.889
a church. In fact, my first church I ever pastored.

01:06:00.369 --> 01:06:04.090
And in South Africa, I never went to the military,

01:06:04.110 --> 01:06:07.789
but as soon as I went to Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe,

01:06:07.849 --> 01:06:10.420
they just called me up right away. drafted me

01:06:10.420 --> 01:06:14.539
into the special forces. I told the commander,

01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:19.539
I said, I'm a pastor. They're going to train

01:06:19.539 --> 01:06:21.760
me as an anti -terrorist fighter. And I told

01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:27.280
him, I said, I'm a pastor. I saved people. Don't

01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:31.019
kill them. He said, pastor, we're going to train

01:06:31.019 --> 01:06:34.000
you. If you pass the training, we're going to

01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:36.559
send you on the first mission. And if you still

01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:40.579
feel like... Like you feel that way, then we'll

01:06:40.579 --> 01:06:44.960
put you behind a desk on a desk job. But just

01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:47.039
finish the training first. So when it was done,

01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:50.880
they sent me on my first mission. And I felt

01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:54.300
really terrible, you know. Sundays I heal them

01:06:54.300 --> 01:06:56.320
and on Mondays I walk around. Actually, it's

01:06:56.320 --> 01:07:00.500
an ideal situation. Because on Monday I come

01:07:00.500 --> 01:07:08.300
to your house with an AK -47. Yesterday. It's

01:07:08.300 --> 01:07:15.559
easy. Today, I'm here representing the military.

01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:20.559
But they sent me on my first mission. And never

01:07:20.559 --> 01:07:23.219
forget this. When we went out, the very first

01:07:23.219 --> 01:07:25.519
place we got to was a little mission church.

01:07:26.219 --> 01:07:30.199
There in the boondocks. We got there and the

01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:35.519
two missionary ladies hanging upside down, naked.

01:07:36.909 --> 01:07:42.409
pinned through their ankles, and left to bleed

01:07:42.409 --> 01:07:51.150
to death, the female parts all cut out. You know,

01:07:51.170 --> 01:07:54.090
that day when I got back, I told the commander,

01:07:54.369 --> 01:08:03.780
just give me that gun. I'm ready. They sent us

01:08:03.780 --> 01:08:05.920
after those terrorists. We call them terrorists.

01:08:06.219 --> 01:08:08.820
They sent us after those terrorists. Some of

01:08:08.820 --> 01:08:10.659
those terrorists were trained behind the Iron

01:08:10.659 --> 01:08:14.019
Curtain, and they were really, really very tricky.

01:08:14.199 --> 01:08:19.579
Guerrilla warfare, ambush territory. You're trained

01:08:19.579 --> 01:08:23.659
in that. When you're asleep, you sleep in a circle.

01:08:25.020 --> 01:08:28.560
Each one with their hand near the trigger of

01:08:28.560 --> 01:08:34.369
their gun, safety off. Because if somebody wants

01:08:34.369 --> 01:08:36.029
to come and ambush you, you don't know where

01:08:36.029 --> 01:08:39.149
they are, it's nighttime, and you just shoot

01:08:39.149 --> 01:08:43.149
in a 360 -degree circle, you're bound to hit

01:08:43.149 --> 01:08:47.109
something. That's how they train you. And I'm

01:08:47.109 --> 01:08:49.829
telling you this for the reason that night when

01:08:49.829 --> 01:08:53.369
we went to bed, we had tracked down these terrorists

01:08:53.369 --> 01:08:55.289
and found them on top of a hill, but they were

01:08:55.289 --> 01:08:57.430
shooting down at us, and we couldn't penetrate.

01:08:58.069 --> 01:09:01.239
They couldn't go over because of... crevice on

01:09:01.239 --> 01:09:03.979
that side, but they were there, and we waited

01:09:03.979 --> 01:09:07.899
until nightfall, and we made bed down here, made

01:09:07.899 --> 01:09:10.460
a little camp in places where there's a lot of

01:09:10.460 --> 01:09:13.500
dry leaves and so on, and then they gave me the

01:09:13.500 --> 01:09:18.100
radio the first time to, you know, every hour

01:09:18.100 --> 01:09:24.000
you move the radio and stand guard. We had one

01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:26.880
guy in our group. What had happened, let me just

01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:31.380
say, there was a group of just five men. But

01:09:31.380 --> 01:09:34.020
because of that situation there, they sent in

01:09:34.020 --> 01:09:37.479
two extra units. And so they sent in ten very,

01:09:37.579 --> 01:09:42.420
very wild men. These guys, every one of them

01:09:42.420 --> 01:09:46.819
were wearing necklaces of terrorist ears that

01:09:46.819 --> 01:09:50.319
they had killed. You know, I know it sounds horrible

01:09:50.319 --> 01:09:54.970
to you. But if you have come to situations like

01:09:54.970 --> 01:09:57.869
they have, where they come to an orphanage and

01:09:57.869 --> 01:10:02.989
every orphan's eyes are poked out. You understand?

01:10:03.109 --> 01:10:06.489
You can understand why they are like that. But

01:10:06.489 --> 01:10:10.369
they were wild. They didn't know God. That evening

01:10:10.369 --> 01:10:13.010
when we, that afternoon when we took our quiet

01:10:13.010 --> 01:10:15.949
time, they stood there on the one side and they

01:10:15.949 --> 01:10:25.550
mocked us. And so. We didn't care. So when we

01:10:25.550 --> 01:10:28.390
went to go to bed, I had the first radio. And

01:10:28.390 --> 01:10:31.090
one of my men, he's a Baptist guy. His name was

01:10:31.090 --> 01:10:36.029
Jim. Jim was so scared. I mean, he really was.

01:10:36.149 --> 01:10:39.689
He was very, very scared. You're not allowed

01:10:39.689 --> 01:10:45.909
to talk because sound carries so far in the bush.

01:10:46.350 --> 01:10:50.529
He came and laid real close to me. His ear, his

01:10:50.529 --> 01:10:55.239
mouth in my ear. And talked and asked me, are

01:10:55.239 --> 01:11:01.739
you afraid too? And I said, yeah, yeah, I'm afraid

01:11:01.739 --> 01:11:08.060
too. So he said, I don't think you are. You know,

01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:10.199
I've watched you. You know, there's just something

01:11:10.199 --> 01:11:15.380
about you. So he said, what is it about you that,

01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:19.560
man, I've never seen anybody so bold like you.

01:11:19.619 --> 01:11:24.229
I said, well. The reason I believe it is, and

01:11:24.229 --> 01:11:26.329
I'm just giving you the short version. This goes

01:11:26.329 --> 01:11:30.130
on now for a long time. The reason is baptism

01:11:30.130 --> 01:11:33.329
in the Holy Spirit, and I told you about my experience.

01:11:34.189 --> 01:11:37.829
And it's all whispering with, and so the Holy

01:11:37.829 --> 01:11:41.710
Spirit came upon me. You know, that kind of stuff.

01:11:41.829 --> 01:11:45.689
You cannot talk louder than that. And so he said,

01:11:45.890 --> 01:11:49.479
I've never even heard of that. What is the baptism

01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:51.720
in the Holy Spirit? So I had to explain to him.

01:11:53.859 --> 01:12:00.100
And then he goes, does that mean if you pray

01:12:00.100 --> 01:12:05.300
for me, I can have the same thing? Now you understand,

01:12:05.619 --> 01:12:09.000
we're laying in a place where we don't know where

01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:14.420
the terrorists are. There's 10 very wild men

01:12:14.420 --> 01:12:18.369
laying here. with their fingers on triggers.

01:12:19.970 --> 01:12:27.609
And this ignorant Baptist man, sorry. I mean

01:12:27.609 --> 01:12:31.069
that very nicely, you know, but he wants to know

01:12:31.069 --> 01:12:33.770
about that. And so I kind of tried to block the

01:12:33.770 --> 01:12:36.569
whole thing. And I said, sure, Jim, sure. When

01:12:36.569 --> 01:12:39.229
we get to some quiet spot tomorrow, you know,

01:12:39.250 --> 01:12:47.539
I'll pray for you. He goes, why not now? He said,

01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:50.460
I've never felt God like this in all my life.

01:12:52.439 --> 01:12:55.300
And I didn't want to scare him off, and I didn't

01:12:55.300 --> 01:12:57.659
want to tell him, Jim, this is going to be the

01:12:57.659 --> 01:13:00.800
loudest experience you've ever had in your life.

01:13:00.939 --> 01:13:04.060
This is going to be an explosion from the inside.

01:13:04.140 --> 01:13:07.539
This is going to be. Somebody gave me a word

01:13:07.539 --> 01:13:11.220
last night. It was Bruce. Where's Bruce? Bruce,

01:13:11.340 --> 01:13:14.560
is he here? Bruce gave me a great word last night.

01:13:14.720 --> 01:13:17.489
He said, God. God said, I must tell you that

01:13:17.489 --> 01:13:25.350
what is in you is an artesian well. Artesian

01:13:25.350 --> 01:13:27.449
well. I went home to go and see what is an artesian

01:13:27.449 --> 01:13:32.649
well. I checked it up. Artesian well is actually,

01:13:32.810 --> 01:13:38.510
it's a line that's diagonally opposite, 90 degrees.

01:13:38.970 --> 01:13:41.250
Is that what it is? 90 degrees opposite from

01:13:41.250 --> 01:13:44.710
the flow of the water. So the river is right

01:13:44.710 --> 01:13:48.770
there. And the artesian well goes down here.

01:13:48.850 --> 01:13:52.270
And that water, you don't need a pump. It just

01:13:52.270 --> 01:13:56.729
goes. Look at somebody say, I have an artesian

01:13:56.729 --> 01:14:00.550
well. Come on, say it again. I have an artesian

01:14:00.550 --> 01:14:04.670
well. Glory to God. That's what has happened.

01:14:04.810 --> 01:14:06.810
Did you preach that? Is that why he knew that?

01:14:07.670 --> 01:14:12.890
You preached that? Okay. I thought you may have

01:14:12.890 --> 01:14:18.560
preached that. But that's a good sermon. So I

01:14:18.560 --> 01:14:24.000
told Jim, it's going to explode. I mean, I could

01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:26.420
have told him, it's going to explode out of you.

01:14:27.619 --> 01:14:31.159
But I didn't want to scare him. And I also didn't

01:14:31.159 --> 01:14:33.000
want to lose him because tomorrow we could hit

01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:36.260
this. Even tonight, we could get into a fight

01:14:36.260 --> 01:14:41.800
and we'd never see old Jim again. So I told Jim.

01:14:47.470 --> 01:14:50.670
Those days my wife wanted to know why did he

01:14:50.670 --> 01:14:53.930
have to turn on his stomach. Because I said,

01:14:53.930 --> 01:14:57.750
I don't know. I just didn't want him to get stuck

01:14:57.750 --> 01:15:00.170
in his own spit or something. I don't know. But

01:15:00.170 --> 01:15:03.710
he turned on his stomach. I said, I went like

01:15:03.710 --> 01:15:06.369
this. I mean, like this. I'm not kidding you.

01:15:07.010 --> 01:15:13.510
In the name of Jesus. And I touched him like

01:15:13.510 --> 01:15:19.899
that. That man started screaming. I mean, it

01:15:19.899 --> 01:15:24.520
was so loud. He grabbed his pillow and tried

01:15:24.520 --> 01:15:27.739
to muffle the sound. And then when it didn't

01:15:27.739 --> 01:15:30.619
work, he jumped out of his sleeping bag. And

01:15:30.619 --> 01:15:35.000
when he did that, I covered my head because I

01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:38.890
knew he's dead. He's dead. They're going to kill

01:15:38.890 --> 01:15:41.949
him, you know. You can't even go to the bathroom

01:15:41.949 --> 01:15:43.949
without first waking your man up because they'll

01:15:43.949 --> 01:15:48.050
shoot you, you know. And so here's old Jim, his

01:15:48.050 --> 01:15:51.609
hands up in the air, and I look around at the

01:15:51.609 --> 01:15:54.770
other guys and my guys, and not a single one

01:15:54.770 --> 01:15:58.930
wakes up. Not a single, oh, come on, give the

01:15:58.930 --> 01:16:02.329
Lord a handclap of praise. Not a single one wakes

01:16:02.329 --> 01:16:08.170
up. Come on! Somebody shout for him. Glory to

01:16:08.170 --> 01:16:16.590
God. Come on, just some more. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:21.680
Glory to God. You know, let me just tell you

01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:25.560
something. God is God like you've never known

01:16:25.560 --> 01:16:28.619
any person in your life. He is God. He is above

01:16:28.619 --> 01:16:31.619
everybody else. And he is right there in your

01:16:31.619 --> 01:16:33.939
heart. Come on. Give him another praise offering

01:16:33.939 --> 01:16:45.260
glory. Wow. You know, the next morning, old Jim,

01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:49.329
he was. He was so excited. I mean, he's so hyper.

01:16:50.750 --> 01:16:52.930
One of the complaints that he had, he said, I've

01:16:52.930 --> 01:16:55.310
been serving God for 17 years. I've never been

01:16:55.310 --> 01:16:58.510
able to tell somebody about Jesus. And now he's

01:16:58.510 --> 01:17:04.010
hyper. This way, that way. He packs and unpacks

01:17:04.010 --> 01:17:07.189
and drags a big stone here against the tree where

01:17:07.189 --> 01:17:09.989
it happened and puts a big cross on there. And

01:17:09.989 --> 01:17:12.649
those 10 guys come and stand there. They're very

01:17:12.649 --> 01:17:15.069
superstitious. Why are you making a tombstone

01:17:15.069 --> 01:17:20.899
here? Jim told him, a man that never could tell

01:17:20.899 --> 01:17:26.500
anybody about Jesus. He said, last night, Jim

01:17:26.500 --> 01:17:30.659
died here. And this morning, there's a new person

01:17:30.659 --> 01:17:34.800
in Christ Jesus right here. Oh, wow. Glory to

01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:47.039
God. You know, one of the guys, of the wild guys,

01:17:47.710 --> 01:17:50.609
Because my guys, they were all Christians. And

01:17:50.609 --> 01:17:54.489
so one of the wild guys asked Jim, what do you

01:17:54.489 --> 01:17:59.109
mean? Jim said, hey, walk with me around that

01:17:59.109 --> 01:18:02.449
big tree. Walked around the tree and it wasn't

01:18:02.449 --> 01:18:06.470
long and there's that big noise on that side

01:18:06.470 --> 01:18:11.989
too. When they walked back, that guy's face was

01:18:11.989 --> 01:18:15.649
glowing just like Jim's. That morning we made

01:18:15.649 --> 01:18:19.590
contact with a terrorist, and that guy got shot

01:18:19.590 --> 01:18:23.529
through the head. And I was wondering many times,

01:18:23.829 --> 01:18:28.010
what would have happened if I allowed my fear

01:18:28.010 --> 01:18:34.489
of man to stop me from entering into the dimension

01:18:34.489 --> 01:18:38.869
where nothing is impossible? Come on, stand on

01:18:38.869 --> 01:18:41.090
your feet and give God a praise offering. Will

01:18:41.090 --> 01:18:44.300
you go ahead and just praise him? Glory to God.

01:18:44.380 --> 01:18:52.460
Glory to God. Come on, don't stop. Hallelujah.

01:18:59.000 --> 01:19:10.590
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Will you

01:19:10.590 --> 01:19:12.930
raise your hands and just for a while, just in

01:19:12.930 --> 01:19:15.390
your own way, just talk to God for a while, out

01:19:15.390 --> 01:19:18.930
loud this time. And if it's okay for you to just

01:19:18.930 --> 01:19:22.789
pray in tongues, just do that for a while. Hallelujah.

01:19:23.029 --> 01:19:33.300
Just pray in tongues. If you are interested in
