Sid Roth

SID: You know, many religious people, they’re used to going to a congregation and having a few songs and then the announcement, and then the offering, and then the message, and then lunch. But Roy Fields, you will worship sometimes for two hours. And you said to me that there is such, the atmosphere so changes, that it activates the promises of God without you even saying anything, just in that worship. Tell me about the person that had a burn on a leg.

ROY: I was in a meeting a few years back, and this 15-year old kid approached the stage and he had a bad fire scar on like his leg. And in the middle of worship, he screamed out, he felt pain again in that leg. And when he lifted it up the scar had disappeared, and he came up and showed everybody. I’ve been a skeptic, even as a Christian, because you want to see the real. When I saw that, I went, okay.

SID: What would you do?

ROY: It got my attention.

SID: All right. This amazes me. In four different locations, four different children saw the same thing. What did they see?

ROY: Well we were here in a meeting. I know what you’re referring. We were in meetings. We had about 8000 people in the arena, and these four different children with their parents, from four different states, as you said, came to the back of the table to tell me a message. One of them was on video. The other three were told to me by our staff. And they all said, while I was leading worship, that there was a huge angel standing behind me with a big sword, and it was on fire, and he was just waving it like this. I have never seen an angel. But when all four say that, I don’t have to.

SID: Okay. Tell me about this song, because I happen to love it. It’s the song, how did “In the Presence of Angels” happen?

ROY: Well I was in a house in Destin, Florida, and a boat captain was there, his house. I had done a meeting in his house. And at the end of the night after the meeting was over I was still caught up in worship. Everybody had gone home. I don’t sleep much, Sid. I don’t get a lot of sleep. My mind, my heart, my spirit is always going. In the middle of the night, I was just worshiping the Lord by myself, wasn’t trying to write a song. I don’t try to write a song. And in the middle of worship, once again, I heard this melody. I heard [singing] da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. [talking] I mean, I just, I didn’t have a huge vision, but I could picture it in my mind, as they say, you have your mind’s eye. I pictured this massive throne room with angels, and I mean multitudes and multitudes of angels were just like dancing in this kind of order. It was kind of like ballroom dancing, except not with partners. It was just everybody and it was all to God. And it was [singing] Holy, holy, holy, worthy, glory, glory [talking] over and over. I must have sang in the middle of the—until, I don’t know, three o’clock in the morning. I looked down at my watch. I had been at the keyboard for two and half hours. I wasn’t even aware of the time.

SID: You know, I could listen to that song for hours.

ROY: I have.

SID: I’m sure. I want to release you to sing, “In the Presence of Angels” and I want to release you to be freer than you’ve ever been before, because I believe you are in the presence of angels.

Roy [music, singing] This is a realm of your glory. This is a realm of your grace. I can feel your mighty power. It is moving in this place. We’re in the presence of angels with God’s glory on their wings. Like the voice of many waters I can hear the angels sing, singing holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy. This is a realm of your glory. This is a realm of your grace. I can feel your mighty power. It is moving in this place. We’re in the presence of angels with God’s glory on their wings. Like the voice of many waters I can hear the angels sing, singing holy, holy, holy, holy, holy. You are worthy, worthy. You are worthy, worthy. Show us your glory, glory.
