Sid Roth welcomes Linda Josef
We now return to It’s Supernatural.
SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Linda Josef, my co-author of my new book, “Supernatural Healing,” in which I went back over the last 30-plus years and found the best most verifiable healings I could, put it in a book so that you could be healed and you can minister healing to someone else. But at the end of the show we’re gonna take communion together because that’s another way of healing, a way that’s so misunderstood, we’re going to take the mystery out of communion and get the bread and the grape juice, and the wine ready because, and believe God, this is your moment for healing. Linda, you said there were primarily two categories of the various testimonies in the book. One was a sovereign miracle and another is contending for the faith. One thing I find interesting, three of the stories were written by medical doctors. Tell me about Dr. Gary Hill.
LINDA: Dr. Gary Hill’s wife was pregnant with their fourth child, and by eight months the baby hadn’t moved. So they come to find out the baby had had an intrauterine stroke. More than half of its brain was missing. If it lived to birth it would have been terribly handicapped.
SID: The doctors told him, he is a doctor also, that he needed an abortion, but he wouldn’t stand for that.
LINDA: He said, “I am a Christian. I won’t accept it.” So he decided that his only hope was in God. He quit his job and immersed himself in the study of healing. He prayed night and day, and there are certain things that he did. But at the end of this time period God came into his room and he was led to pray for his wife, and the baby was instantly healed.
SID: How’s the baby today?
LINDA: Today, she’s a 13-year-old girl. She plays soccer. She gets As. She’s a vibrant, healthy young lady.
SID: The most verified miracle we have in this book, another medical doctor that had lymphoma, but it wasn’t just normal lymphoma. What type of lymphoma was it?
LINDA: It was called Mantel cell lymphoma, which is one of the most aggressive and dangerous of all cancers.
SID: And tell me about Dr. Tom Renfro.
LINDA: Well Dr. Renfro was diagnosed with it and was told that there is no medical cure for it, that there is no remedy. And he began to pray for healing, and it took forever to come. His diseased progressed and progressed.
SID: You know what I can’t believe, Linda, his wife was so sure that they would be healed that she videotaped his body just destroying itself. I mean, and they got to the point where they had to cover up the windows and she had to stop videotaping because he went down to nothing. No hope. Let’s take a look at this footage.
You know, there is no logical, rational explanation for this man to be healed today, except there is a God in Heaven that answers prayer. But he had a key. Part of his healing, and this is a very important key which Linda points out in the book, is obedience. He heard from God to have one treatment of chemotherapy, but that made no sense to the natural mind because, Linda, he was going to die. If he had the chemo, what did the doctors tell him?
LINDA: They told him he would probably die just from the chemo because his body wasn’t strong enough to combat it. And they really didn’t want to do it. But God had told him to do this. And so they took him by ambulance. He was too sick at this point to go in a car. They took him by ambulance to the hospital and agreed to start the chemotherapy.
SID: Well let’s take a look at it right now.
TOM: I was diagnosed with Mantel cell lymphoma. It’s one of the rare forms of lymphoma. And unfortunately, the doctors told me at the time there was no cure, that radiation wouldn’t cure this, that bone marrow transplants and stem cells harvesting techniques had been tried and failed with this particular brand of lymphoma, that chemotherapy, it may knock it back a little bit, but it would march right through, as you progress through your chemotherapy, it would just come right back.
SID: To your knowledge, has anyone ever been healed of this type of lymphoma?
TOM: To my knowledge, no.
SID: I mean, now you’re a doctor. You know more than most people.
TOM: Right.
SID: Did you in your wildest imagination ever think you’d get cancer?
TOM: No. One of the greatest fears that I had when I was in medical and, you know, you see a lot of different diseases, one was either leukemia or lymphoma. Because I saw a lot of people suffering through that disease, and inside of me there was a fear, Lord, don’t ever let this occur in my life. And look what the devil brought. He brought rotten lymphoma to me.
SID: You told me earlier you had another fear of chemotherapy.
TOM: Right.
SID: Why?
TOM: Chemotherapy, and don’t get me wrong, don’t misinterpret what I’m saying, it is something designed to kill, and it has such horrendous side effects, I didn’t know if I would be able to withstand any of the side effects of chemotherapy. And to me, I didn’t want to go that route. I didn’t want to have that in my body.
SID: Now Tom, as I understand it, you decided to approach this as if it was a war.
TOM: Yes.
SID: I mean, you were giving no ground to this disease. But the more you were giving no ground, the more it was spreading.
TOM: Right.
SID: So didn’t you reach a point of discouragement?
TOM: There was a point of discouragement, and it came when I was so sick. And that is when that spirit of discouragement came upon me and said, “Why don’t you just give up. Why don’t you let go of this notion that God is going to do anything for you?”
SID: But wouldn’t it be easier to give, I mean, I’m sure the thought came, it’s easier to give up than to fight.
TOM: That’s right. It is. Sometimes you get so tired you just want to quit, that what is the use. But that’s where the Word and God’s spirit just starts quickening within us and gives us more hope and gives us that ability to press on, to press on one more time.
SID: Now when Sid covered up the mirrors and decided you can’t even look at yourself, you must have known it was, you knew how bad off you were and you were getting worse, progressively.
TOM: I didn’t want to look at myself. And I wanted to maintain the image of wholeness and completeness in my body. I didn’t want to look at myself and look at how sick I was. I wanted to have, I never did look at myself as sick. I never did perceive myself as what they had to look at.
SID: Today, Dr. Tom Renfro is practicing medicine. He’s a miracle. Get ready for a miracle for yourself. Get the elements of communion ready because within communion there is healing. Be right back after this word.
We’ll be right back to It’s Supernatural.
Sid Roth with Larry Randolph
SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Larry Randolph, and there are so many exciting things Larry, to be talking about. I love your book on Spirit Talk, because you show so many different ways that God speaks to us that most of us are missing these ways, but the one that most excites me is the coming shift, what is the coming shift?
LARRY: The coming shift, I had an angelic encounter several years ago where there was a conversation about changes in the earth, and the essence of the conversation was that we are standing at the threshold of an incredible paradigm shift, incredible changes, and they are bittersweet, some of them are going to be extraordinarily sweet, and some of the changes are going catastrophic, going to be devastating, so I felt the Lord was instructing me to talk to people about pre-positioning themselves, shifting themselves for what is coming because it is all about position.
SID: Okay, if they don’t shift themselves what is the repercussion?
LARRY: the repercussions, well the shift covers a lot of things, it covers a –
SID: No, but what I mean if God tells them to say, go from the east coast to the west coast and they don’t go, what is the repercussion?
LARRY: Yes, let me put it this way; I think extreme purpose in God required extreme obedience to God. So the repercussions are if you don’t obey that impression that you have, that word from God that you have, that feeling that you have to obey God, then the result is that you could be misplaced, you geographically are misplaced, spiritually or your job or whatever, and not be able to catch the wave of the purpose that God has for you in this coming era that we are coming into that is going to be incredibly unprecedented.
SID: I mean you talk about such things as changing in gifting, changing in a person like that is a pastor becoming a businessman, a person that is a businessman becoming an evangelist, I mean why is God doing all this shifting? What’s the purpose?
LARRY: He is doing most of it because we have messed it all up, we have a lot of misplaced gifting, we have people managing McDonalds that should be in the pulpit, we have people in the pulpit in churches that should be managing McDonalds. I don’t mean that in any demeaning way, I am just saying that so many people don’t understand their purpose, their calling, so they live a life of misplaced purpose in the shadows of their destiny and never touch their potential destiny that I talked about earlier, that Jesus has given us, to become something unique and different than everyone else, I believe that’s the purpose for God to line all of us into a place who are in position, like an army in position, a shifting into the right ranks, so that we can truly be overcomers in the sense of overcoming whatever obstacles are in front of us and facing the future that is to come, because Jesus did say in the Bible that in the last days great calamities will come on the earth, great things would happen and we really do need to be ready for those things.
SID: All right, you saw the next years headlines in the newspaper, that’s pretty good stuff, can you tell me a couple of headlines you saw?
LARRY: Yes, again I had an angelic visitation, there was a large angel that gave me a book and I can’t go into the details about the book, but – and he said, “Throw it to the floor.” And I dropped it on the floor, which means it is a representation that I have no control over it, humility. It became like a screen of a TV, and I saw headlines flipping and they were going so fast that I can’t remember 90 percent of them, but I felt at the time that I would when the time was appropriate, and I do remember catching some of them. And one of them that was really interesting to me is that around 2008, which will be next year, I saw a great shift, a change happening in Hollywood, and I saw some premature deaths happening and I was sorry to see that premature death, and I’m not saying that God is causing that, it is an indicator.
SID: Did you see the actual names of the people?
LARRY: Yes I did, but that would not be appropriate.
SID: Well when these people you saw the headlines die, what is going to happen?
LARRY: Especially this one person, a younger person. To me I felt it meant that things were changing, a shift coming to Hollywood, that old things are dying, old things are passing away, some of the old immorality, some of the old resistance to God that has been in Hollywood is changing because God loves Hollywood. God loves every community, every culture, every people group, and he is invading every people group, every culture, so I felt like it was kind of a sign that the old is dying and that God is doing something new.
SID: Well let the old rest in peace. What did you see about famine?
LARRY: I saw the year 2013 and that was an interesting year, 2013 I saw an extreme famine and I don’t know the country or the region other than it was eastern. And it had to do with, when I say eastern, you know, the Baltics all the way through Middle East, Middle East may be the wrong word, but anyway when I say eastern globe you know what I mean by that. And I saw extreme famine there, but I already knew some of that was coming because the Lord had recently talked to me about Joseph’s famine and how that there were seven years of plenty and seven years of famine were coming, so I believe 13 is going to be the beginning of calamity that Jesus talked about. But what excites me Sid, is that it is bittersweet, in other words, the fact that famine came on the earth in Joseph’s time where Joseph and his precious father Jacobs house prospered better than ever so to those that are in God it is going to be great.
SID: I have to interrupt Larry, let me tell you something, remember the talked about stirring, stirring up what is within people, I am going to have him pray, but I pray in Yeshua’s name that you be stirred up right now, that the gifts within you would be deposited in the people, in Yeshua’s name, pray right now.
LARRY: I will, I think I like to pray talk to you but I – many of you have been hearing God and you don’t know you have been hearing God, you have the mental picture, you have what you think is intuition, things coincidences are happening, things in nature you are saying that’s odd, that’s strange, what you don’t realize is that God is trying to communicate with your with broken receivers I talk about. Mainly because he loves you tremendously and he is a talking God, and he loves to talk to his creation, you are his creation, and he wants to commune, he is desperate to fellowship with you, and somehow we have lost that, maybe you have lost that, and I want to encourage, I want to stir you up and say have faith in that intuitiveness that you feel inside and that sense, especially when it comes with the sense of the love of God and the feeling and sense that you have a purpose, you have a destiny, so I want to stir that up and I want to speak that into your heart and into your life and I want to say to you be encouraged and be filed with faith, because here is what you have to know, you are a beautifully, wonderfully, extraordinary one of a kind, one in a million child of design with destiny encoded in your DNA and only you can give the world what you have and you can’t do that unless God is in your heart because he is that voice that speaks through you to express the extraordinary person that you are. So my whole passion in life is to get people to see that God is talking to you, you don’t know it, you can’t hear it, he is talking to you because you are important and you are extraordinary and he wants to express a side of his vocabulary and his person through you like no other person, you are incredible.
SID: Pray for stirring up their gifts.
LARRY: I will do that
SID: Very quickly.
LARRY: Lord we pray that you would stir up the gifts of the spirit, the gift of prophecy, knowing things, the gift of hearing from God, that you would take the barriers away that was lost in the Garden of Eden, that you would reconnect people to the Creator and that their gifts would become passionate and their desire to hear from God would be passionate. I impart that and I speak that and I speak right now, this is going to air later but there is a man named Robert who as cancer who is terminal and your doctor has told you that you are terminal, your doctor’s name has a J in it, begins with a J, I’m not sure his whole name, but there is healing. If you will believe what I am saying and that God is talking, God is going to talk to you and in the talking you are going to be healed and there will be a testimony come back through this when it is aired because God is desperate to touch people and talk to them.
SID: Larry, there is someone’s left eye that has been healed from cancer; you are healed in Yeshua’s name. And someone’s back is being literally straightened, all of the pain , the spine is being straightened, you are healed in Yeshua’s name and remember this, if you want your receiver to start operating, if you really want to hear God, if you really want to find out why you are on planet earth, if you really want a shift as God is shifting people, there is no other name given unto man in which we must be saved but the name of Yeshua, Hebrew for Jesus. I would like to say this lots of different way but narrow is the way that leads to life. If you want life, you want your receiver restored, it is up to you but there is enough of the presence of God on you right now for you to have your breakthrough, Yeshua.
