Sid Roth

Sid:  I remember a number of years ago I read a book it was called “Visions beyond the Veil.”  And my guest Jim Goll triggered that because he talks about this in his book, and I was so intrigued with this.  And then I found out that one of my favorite believers on planet earth because of her exploits Heidi Baker and her husband’s name is Rolland. Rolland’s grandfather wrote the book “Visions beyond the Veil” of the experiences that he had with orphans in China.  Jim Goll we’re featuring your new book “Angelic Encounters” or “Engaging Help from Heaven” which is a must mentoring tool in the days and times that we’re living in.  Tell us a bit about Rolland Baker’s grandfather’s experiences with orphans in China.

James:  Oh gosh, this is just amazing and again I totally agree with you the ministry today Iris Ministries, specifically in Mozambique and places around the world is a generational blessing with Rolland and Heidi Baker, and we love them dearly.  But this visitation that Sid is referring to I talk about in the first chapter of my new book, the first chapter on Jacob’s Ladder keeps coming on down.  And it was actually at the time of a revelation…

Sid:  By the way I just loved what just rolled off your tongue, “Jacob’s ladder keeps coming on down.”

James:  Absolutely, it happened before in the book of Genesis; you see we don’t just serve only a historic God who did great works in the past.  What Jesus did in the past the Bible promises He does today, and will do tomorrow.  So I call it Jacob’s ladder keeps on coming down because in the book of Genesis was the ladder that came down over Jacob and he saw God standing at the top of the ladder; angels ascending and descending.  And I just prophesy to you out there
“God has an open Heaven experience for you and his angels are going to come up and down heaven’s ladder, and they are going to minister unto you.  And God the Father is standing at the top of the ladder and He will give you a revelation of Himself.”

Sid:  And tell me about those orphans.

James:  Yes, it was actually in 1949 and was in and it’s called “Adulum Home for the Orphans” and it was in the Unnan Providence of China.  Oh what was amazing was when this dimension, and it would happen a lot through worship, when it would happen they would be just in worship and the children it says were often transported to the heavenly city to be entertained by angels, and their earthly caretakers were taken by a much delighted surprise as the children were.  And but these visitations centered around children.  You know many historic revivals like this one in 1949 in China in other places too around that same period of time in 1952 another great revival in Argentina with another revivalist and the visitations of angels occurred at orphanages with children.  I tell you part of this is about God’s heart for the widow and for the orphan, and God speaks a word and He says “I’m coming to visit those very places.”  And so it was in that period of time and these children were taken up three or four of them at a time and they would hear heavenly songs, angels with trumpets, harpist both played and sang with those instruments joining in and singing, and they would hear languages that they didn’t even know in the earth realm but they would it in heaven.

Sid:  They would even play instruments you talk about.

James:  Yes, oh it’s amazing I have this in the first chapter of my book you know and again the books “Angelic Encounters.”

Sid:  But get this they don’t know how to play the instruments but they would be playing them because I guess the Holy Spirit was showing them how to do it.

James:  Yeah, but again and they would all centered around Jesus, it says “Soon after entering the gates of the city the children were taken by the angels to go and see Jesus.”  Now isn’t that what it’s all about, is revealing the man Christ Jesus.  And I tell you angels love ministering and coming to children.  And I tell you right in your very home right now you can open the door as a gatekeeper to your own home and you can call forth “Let Your angels come and visit my children.”  In fact we’ve had angelic visitation to our kids in our own home, and I believe if God could do it with us and if He could do it with the Bakers in 1949, He can do it with you.

Sid:  How about the time this angel, you had a visitation of an angel that said “It’s time for Tyler Hamilton.”

James:  Yeah, that actually deals with the birth of our third child, our second son, and it happened you know back always but it was 7-7-88.  And of course the eight numbers are numbers of new beginnings and double new beginnings and everything.  But I’m up in the middle of the night; actually at 1:17 in the night, and I’m praying prayers of confession of generational sin, being German in my background ,I was confessing the sin of the church for not taking the stand for the Jewish people during the holocaust .  While I’m praying these prayer of identification repentance this angel dressed in a military uniform comes and stands in my livingroom looks at me and says “It’s time for Tyler Hamilton to be born you must go and lay hands upon your wife and call him forth.”  So I went into our bedroom, my wife was fast asleep…

Sid:  Now did you have the name for your child before you heard that angelic voice?

James:  Yeah, Sid this is the amazing encounter because I had had actually the same angel come and appear to me to announce the conception of Tyler, and gave me the name and that we’d have a son and his name would be called Tyler Hamilton.  And then months later then this same angel comes and appears to me, nine and a half months later and says “It’s time for Tyler Hamilton to be born.”  So I went in and I woke up my wife, I laid my hands on her stomach and I made a pronouncement and I said, “Tyler Hamilton this is the voice of your father speaking, your angel has just come and said “I’m to lay hands upon your mother and call you forth.”  I said “Tyler Hamilton now listen and obey your time has come.”  Now believe me we did not have sonograms done to know the sex of the child; we didn’t have to because we knew.  That moment my wife started contractions which led to his birth that day.

Sid:  Well, what does Tyler Hamilton mean to you.

James:  Oh gosh, Tyler Hamilton has a warrior anointing upon his life.

Sid:  But why Tyler?  Where did that come from and Hamilton?

James:  Well, you know sometimes the Lord simply does like identify n your family and my wife Sunday school teacher in growing up who taught her to love the word of God and taught her to read her Bible and pray every day his name was Mr. Tyler.  And so for whatever reason, and of course a Tyler is someone who works on a roof; you know a covering for a house.  But the Lord was simply honoring a Godly heritage. Then my wife’s father’s middle name was Hamilton so we didn’t just pick this out; heaven did.  But they were also honoring some of our godly heritage.

Sid:  You know I love it when you talk about intercession and how angels execute answers to prayers and then test you have nine tests to find out the counterfeit from the authentic.  Tell us one test that comes to mind.

James:  Oh my goodness does it bear good fruit?  Is it agreement in the Bible?  Does it bring edification and exultation of Jesus?  There’s several, does it if they bring a word is it in agreement with the word of God?  If it has predictions does it become…

Sid:  What does angels look like?  Do they look like the thing that you have in cartoons?

James:  [Laughing] You know I have seen angels appear many different ways.  I have seen literal angels, I have seen them where they do have wings and feathery looking appearance.  I’ve seen angels come in the appearance of men and woman dressed in modern day clothing and release the message.

Sid:  Why do I feel sometimes at meetings an angel touch me on my head?

James:  Absolutely you know the manifested presence of God lots of times is released by the angelic so when you sense or feel the climate the atmosphere shift it’s often because angels have been released.  Angels can touch people; they are sent to minister unto those that inherit salvation.

Sid:  What do you suppose they are doing when they touch us?

James:  Oh gosh they’re often imparting strength to us for the journey for our task that is ahead.  Sometimes they’re actually imparting a spirit of revelation to us so that we’ll have understanding of what the Lord is about or about our next task or assignment that He’s giving.
