SID: There is so much glory in this studio right now Elaine. But I got a question for you. How in the world did you get invited to a dry Baptist church?

ELAINE: There was a lady that had attended one of my meetings and she was hungry for her church to have this Holy Spirit and the glory. So it was ladies day, the ladies got to pick who would speak and they picked me. And they didn’t warn me what I was getting into.

So when I got there that day, it was so quiet and so dead, I was just talking very low and doing the best—but the Lord said, “Nine rows back, I have a lady who has a tumor in her colon and she’s dying. Go back there and tell her.” And I said inside, “Oh God, I can’t do that. I’m in the Baptist church. They don’t even like me. I’m not sure they like you, so what are we going to do here?” He said, obey me. And so I stepped down off this huge platform. I walked back there and I said, “Ma’am, would you stand up?” And she said, “Me?” I said, “Yes.” I said, “You have a tumor in your colon.” And I said, “You’re dying.” And she said, “I’ve had 27 operations and number 28 will be next week to remove this.” And I said, “You also, the Lord tells me you have leukemia.” She said, “Yes.”

She was convinced then. She said, “How do you know these things?” I said, “I hear the voice of God.” And I laid my hands on her.

“Heal her in Jesus’ name.”

I turned around to walk back up this long, long aisle. She felt something moving in her stomach. She ran to the bathroom and in about five minutes she come running back in and said, “It’s in toilet.”

SID: Did the church react like our studio audience?

ELAINE: No, they didn’t even clap. They didn’t do anything. They just looked at me like I was a cow at a new gate. And then, and I said, “What’s in the toilet?” She said, “The tumor, it’s in the toilet.” And a lot of the ladies on the back, she said, “Come and see,” and everybody goes running out of the church. And I said, “I don’t need to see. I believe, I believe.”

And so she was totally healed. Okay. So, they said don’t leave. Don’t, the preachers even said don’t leave. We stayed another night. Seven deaf people were healed the next night. The third night the glory of God came in so strong that there was a crippled walk out of a wheelchair that had been there for 12 years. They rented a larger room. That night there was over 1500 there. And I’m laying hands on people and I’m doing everything because they’re hungry now. They’ve seen the power of God. Once somebody really tastes the glory of God, you will never want to be empty again. When the glory of God comes in, that’s it. You want it. Hallelujah.

And so I was tired. I had ministered and ministered and I went over by the side of the room and I just stood there and God said, “Ask me for something. What do you want?” And I thought, I said, “I want more of the of the anointing.” He said, “You already have the anointing. Ask me for something you don’t have.” And I said, “I want the power.” He said, “You already have the power. You are baptized in the Holy Ghost and fire. You’ve got it.” So I said, “I want all these people to be baptized in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit. I want all these Baptist folks, even the pulpit.” And you know what he did? He said, “Watch.” And a pillar of fire came down in that church. It was out of… it was a pillar of fire.

And he said, “Watch.” And it moved over the whole entire congregation. And as the pillar of fire moved, they just started falling out of their seats.

SID: This is a Baptist church?

ELAINE: Yes, they just start falling out of their seats. And as they fall, Sid, they’re going and they’re speaking in other tongues. He got all the way over to the edge of the pulpit and said, “Elaine, watch.” He went and when he did, all the preachers was baptized in the Holy Spirit.

SID: That’s normal. Let the whole world be normal.

ELAINE: Yes.

SID: Normal as written in the Bible.

ELAINE: Yes.

SID: Elaine, you hear from God so clearly. Give me one of the most important nuggets you can on how we all can hear from God like you.

ELAINE: Okay. I pray in the spirit in my hotel room. I live in hotel rooms because I’m on the road constantly and I pray in the spirit and after I pray in the spirit, I sit and listen. 50% of prayer is listening. I know the voice of God that strong, just like I know my husband or my children or anybody else, because I have sat in a room and listened. You learn the voice of God.

SID: I’ll tell you what, when we come back, I’m going to turn the Elaine loose to pray for miracles and release the glory that’s on her life anew. Be right back.
