Our Guest Steve Solomon
Sid: My guest is red hot for the Messiah; I’m speaking to him at his home in Fort Worth, Texas; Steve Solomon. Steve is another Jewish man that can’t keep quiet about Yeshua. Steve, you’re a Pastor of a church and an amazing phenomenon started happening in the year 2005 in your church. Oil in the sanctuary, as a matter of fact CBS came out to do an excerpt this. Tell the circumstances.
Steve: It was just before July 4th we had some extended meetings started Sid, you know Liberty meetings, Freedom in the Spirit meetings that kind of thing and with Independence Day. And a few days before July 4th my secretary called me at the house. On Tuesdays we have feed the multitudes where we give away free groceries to the hundreds of families in the area every Tuesday. So intercessors would pray in the sanctuary before that food ministry. Well, they were praying in the sanctuary and they wanted to pray for me the Pastor so they were looking for some oil. So one lady said to other lady, “Find some oil.” So they were looking for like a bottle of oil in the church that we have. And the other lady yelled out, “I found some oil.” And on the columns of the church the decorative columns in the pillars there was oil starting to seep out of the columns. And the more they looked the more oil they found, it was like on the banisters, it was like on the balcony, it was a Plexiglas eighteen inch like decorative piece on the top of the …
Sid: “Is there any natural explanation?”
Steve: No, no. They called me and they said, “Pastor Steve there is oil in the sanctuary.” And my first thought was that something had broke and was linking oil, and I thought “Oh great something else to fix.” And then they said, “No, no, no it’s supernaturally appearing, it’s sweet, it’s clear and it’s appearing all over the church.” So we went to the church and Sid, it was everywhere in the sanctuary, on my pulpit, just on the base of Star of David, the Israeli flag, it was there. I mean it was just like appearing, and so we started these meetings we had this extended meetings. And then what happened is then we prayed for people people would get oil on their hands or else oil on their feet. And oil would drip on them from out of nowhere miracles took place. We always had a healing ministry and miracle ministry, but it was acceleration. A guy walked in one night blind in one eye and could hardly walk and he was instantly healed and his knees were instantly healed. Another kid jumped off a roof trying to jump into a swimming pool and broke both of his feet and the Lord healed his feet and there was oil on his feet and he got healed. People healed from cancer, people started taking pictures of the oil, this is how CBS’s the local affiliate got involved and it got broadcast to different stations across the country. People stated taking pictures of the oil and when we took pictures of it Sid you would see these white balls of light in the pictures.
Sid: We call them orbs.
Steve: Yeah, orbs.
Sid: Which are to me are angels.
Steve: And the most phenomenal thing happened. On July 17, 2005; it was a Sunday morning service; just after praise and worship. And I’ll tell you the Lord comes down when we worship Him, He inhabits the praises of His people and it’s phenomenal what happens and still happens. And this was when the song that came about in a minute I’ll tell you about. But on Sunday morning July 17th just after praise and worship we blew a power transformer outside the Church and the power went out. For the next two hours the Church stayed cool like a refrigerator, we only had one light that they brought in with an extension cord. But a man had a video camera taping the service. And the little video camera, as I’m praying for people you can see these orbs of light start moving like a strobe light show all throughout the Church, it’s phenomenal.
Sid: On the video itself?
Steve: On the video, they’re moving.
Sid: Well, you know it’s kind of all these normal things assuming you regard the New Testament as normal. All these normal things are going on in your Church tell me, because I’m fascinated by this CD that a member of your congregation sent me, Riverwalk DNA. We’re going to play an excerpt called, “Say Yes.” Tell me about that song.
Steve: This song was written by one of the members of the church during this time, this summer when the oil was being poured out. And it says “Father, Son and Holy Spirit send Your angels, pour Your oil.” In other words, when God sends something, when God shows up and He showed up in a tremendous way I believe He was consecrating us separating us anointing us for a specific task as a Church Body for the future. And the inspiration came for this song and when people hear it, “Father, Son and Holy Spirit send Your angel, pour Your oil upon us.” It has phenomenal results and countless people Sid had been touched by worshipping Him during this song.
Sid: Okay, why don’t you consider yourself challenged? Why don’t you pull off to the side of the road, if you’re driving or take what Steve said seriously? What would happen if everyone listening to us right now Steve were to take the time, just this next minute or so to worship God? Do it right now, “Say Yes” excerpt from “Riverwalk.”
“Say Yes” excerpt from “Riverwalk.”
Sid: That’s one of my favorite songs, now I can’t say that, there are so many of my favorite songs on this Riverwalk DNA. Steve there is a, just a happiness is the best way I can describe it a supernatural joy on some of this music, some of it so outrageous. I had a prayer meeting and no one was participating so I said, “Okay, I’m going to get you in the mood” and I prayed an excerpt from the song that we played on the first day and that really; everyone was tapping their feet. How do you get such joy in this music?
Steve: You know, “In the presence of the Lord there’s fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.” And God wants us, I remember when starting the Church, the Lord said, “Get the music in their face.” I said, “Lord we’re not going to do without great music, just anointed music.” People come in Sid, and I’m sensing right now, since playing this song, “Say Yes” and us talking about it, everybody has problems, everybody has situations. And the Bible says in Isaiah 61 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings, good news unto the meek.” And going down to verse 3 “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning; the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” Sid, when people come into the church one of the biggest testimonies I love to have them say, “Oh Pastor Steve, your teaching, your preaching, you ministry set me free is you’re so wonderful.” But most of the people say, “When I walked in, something hit me.” And I believe that same thing which is the Spirit of God. Because listen, if we worship Him, listen “If we lift Him up He’ll draw all men unto Himself.” And I believe Sid as you and I are talking, I sense a tangible anointing for the oil of joy to set people free. David said, “I shall be anointed with fresh oil.” And I just want to pray right now in Jesus name, there are people that are bound with heaviness, you’ve just gone through a divorce, you’ve buried a love one, you’ve lost a job, you didn’t get what you thought you were going to get when you prayed for it, something thing, it didn’t turn out your way. But “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God who are the called the elect according to His purpose,” God’s purpose and His pleasure. “Father, we pray right now in the name of Jesus the oil of joy, that deliverance, I sense people being healed right now, people being encouraged right now, people who wanted to take their own life.” In the name of the Lord Jesus, “You shall live and not die.” And “I thank you Father for healing cancers, for setting people free from all manner of incurable situations, right now in Jesus name as Sid and I are worshipping You.” Brother, Jesus is so wonderful and when we lift Him up and that’s the testimony that we hear all the time, that when people walk in the Church during Praise and Worship, first time visitors, it hits them in the face. And all I want is Jesus, all I really want is Him and to say yes to Him Sid and that’s all we need, the Son of God. Either He’s sufficient for us or He’s not, either He is my portion or inheritance or He’s not. Either He’s all that I need, the Messiah and Son of God or He isn’t Sid, and that’s where I believe God is bringing His precious chosen people, Jew and Gentile. He’s taken everything, removing every earthly crutch so that He alone is sufficient for everything in our life.
Sid: Why do you call your CD “Riverwalk DNA?”
Steve: Well, DNA is the code of life to every human being, and we are praying about a name and this artist, you see the cover of this CD?
Sid Roth: Yeah, it’s beautiful.
Steve: This guy who’s a prophetic artist he just happened to be in town and heard about our church, and he wanted to come by. And he drew this prophetically during the worship service during the Praise and Worship, he drew this ladder, one of the songs is “Jacobs Ladder” I’m in Jacob’s dream scene seeing heaven’s gate, let me climb all night on my ladder of faith. Alright, he draw’s this ladder and it looks like DNA and it looks like DNA to me. And he said it was DNA and I knew right away when the code of our spiritual life is the Son of God; the ladder, Jacob’s ladder, the Messiah.
