KAREN: Well because it’s true. I was so insecure and so shy that it was crippling to me. But there comes a moment in my life where I had to realize that I was called to something more than just myself. And I think sometimes we get so caught up in worrying about yourself and worrying about who we are that we forget that we’re here for more than just yourself. We’re here to minister life to someone else! And I think for the viewer, for anyone that’s out there that’s listening that if you’ve just tuned in I want you to know that God loves you and that He cares for you. He cares about every detail of your life! For me, in my life, I felt like I didn’t have a voice. I felt like I didn’t have anything to offer. I felt like maybe I didn’t come from the right household. Maybe I didn’t come from the right lineage. Maybe I, you know, I didn’t have the right education. I wasn’t qualified to do anything for God. But God showed me in one moment when I looked in the mirror and He said, “You are more than what you have become.” In that moment it hit me that what I have walked through in my life, what I have experienced in my life was for more than just a temporary moment. It was so that I could go out and I could speak life to someone else! And I want you to know wherever you’re at in life, if you’re in a dry season, if you’re in a dark season, if you’re in a quiet season and you can’t hear God all you have to do the Bible says if you “draw near to God He will draw near to you.” And all you have to do is lean into His presence. Lean in and ask Him and He will show up because that’s what He’s done to me in my life is He has just walked into the room and I could feel His presence. Because God says “I want to use you to minister life!” What you have walked through is a good indication of who you are called to!

LAURA: That’s true. That is so true!

KAREN: And He will never leave you! Never forsake you! Never walk out on you. He cares that much about you that you are worth His time today!

LAURA: [chuckles] We comfort others with the comfort with which we’ve been comforted.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: All right. Back to your teaching.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: You’re a writer.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: And so you’ve authored multiple books.

KAREN: Uh-huh.

LAURA: And, you know, authoring with your husband even but you train others to do that!

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: That’s what I thought was so interesting about Remnant is that you also train writers! So this isn’t just an evangelism school. Tell me a little bit about everything that you offer there and teach.

KAREN: Yes. Well my husband and I, He’s written several books and then I wrote but even when I went to write I thought, “Oh my goodness, I don’t even know where to start!”

LAURA: [laughing]

KAREN: I don’t know what to do! I’m just sitting here looking at a blank piece of paper!

LAURA: [laughing]

KAREN: And nothing’s going to happen! And so but my husband actually walked in one day and he said, “What are you doing?” And I said, “I don’t know. I don’t know where to start. And so he sat down and we got out a whiteboard and we started. He said, “Do this, this, this and this.”

LAURA: [laughing]

BILL: Now there’s a whole new ministry or opportunity opening up for you and God says you’ve wondered what’s going on Lord? Is this change? I’ve been here I’ve been there but now the Lord says I give you that experience before you even got saved I took you into some things and praise you and now the Lord says I formed you into the man I want with the ministry I want and I’m going to open a door that no man can shut and you’re going to move into it, amen? God bless you, amen.

Audience: [Applause]

BILL: By the way, the word of the Lord for this year for me – I started getting the word of the Lord in 1988, I was the first one that ever started doing that, now everybody does it. All the prophets do. But I remember my words, I always try to make them rhyme, it goes update, relate and activate! All you married folks have to do that. How many know the man or woman you married is not the same person you married? Come on. You’re not the same. I know what that look means! No I don’t mean that anymore! I know what that tone is! But you have to update. My wife and I had to update for 59 years about every 5 years you know? Update then relate then activate. Kiss and make up and go on. Hallelujah. My wife and I made an agreement when we got married that we’d never go to sleep with an unsettled dispute or anger because we read in the Bible where it says if you go to bed angry and don’t settle it you open the door for the devil to come in during the night. So Ephesians says that so we said that we’d never go to sleep with an unsettled dispute. We saw the sun come up a few times –

Audience: [Laughter]

BILL: – but we were faithful! Amen. If you’re going to live together, why not make it a joy instead of a misery? Come on. Well I don’t have time to deal with that. But, update, relate and activate. This year is an open door that no man can shut, opportunities and advancement. So it’s an open door this year amen.

Audience: [Applause]

BILL: Now let me help you – I’m going to give you a short synopsis. I’ve written 3 books on the prophetic – and we believe in practical reality. I mean, you’re real. You don’t have to [gasp] you know. When I was on the Benny Hinn program I was talking about you don’t have to get the monkey anointing like we did in Bengali and go [hoots] you know.

Audience: [Laughter]

BILL: I like to feel good all over more than anywhere else, but when I don’t feel anything and my soul or in my body, that doesn’t stop me moving in the spirit. Moving in the spirit has nothing to do with your soul or body. I mean I’ve prophesied till 4 o’clock in the morning many times over 3 or 400 people and after you prophesy for 2 or 3 hours your body goes dead, your soul is dead, you just open up soul and body and let spirit flow. Amen. But some of you still want tingles up and down the spine or goosebumps or palpitations of the heart. That’s good to have, but you don’t have to have it. Just like if you’ve been married over 10 years you don’t get that every time you kiss your wife.

KYLE: Alright. That has to do with the power of God’s spoken Word. How you kept declaring over and over and over again. [music] When we come back, Dr. Clarice is going to go further into how to activate the power of God’s Word in your life and she’s going to speak and impart into you. Stay with us.

[music]

KYLE: Welcome back to “Something More”. I’m your host Kyle Winkler. Dr. Clarice, when we were just talking, we mentioned about how your daughter died of a heroin overdose. Then she was miraculously brought back to life, went back to prison, and then was later released because of the power of God’s spoken Word.

CLARICE: Absolutely, absolutely.

KYLE: You say that the Kingdom is voice activated.

CLARICE: Well, the Kingdom of God is a kingdom of words. Just as surely as Jesus is the Word made flesh, you and I, the redeemed, are the flesh that must be made into the Word of God because He says, “God’s Word will not return void”. There’s a DNA, a divine nature attitude. So we are word. Jesus is the ultimate word of what God had to say.

KYLE: Yes.

CLARICE: But you and I are a word from the mouth of God. So the Kingdom of God is a word that must be activated by spoken, out of the redeemed, your words become like slaves that usher forth out of Zion to do the bidding of God and what God watches over to perform is His Word.

KYLE: He performs His Word—

CLARICE: Right.

KYLE: –by us speaking it? So it’s not just—I mean reading our Bibles is great, but we’ve got to get it out of our minds and into our mouths.

CLARICE: Well, we’re made in the image and likeness of God and God did not hum us into existence. He didn’t think us into existence. He said let there be a revelation of what’s already here when He said, “Let there be light,’ because He was light. Light was already there.

KYLE: And He sustains all things by His powerful Word.

CLARICE: Right. Everything is by the Word. So, as we learn to not be moved—see facts, are not always truths. You’ve got a lot of facts—

KYLE: Explain that a little bit.

CLARICE: Okay well, I can be oppressed, suppressed, repressed, depressed or possessed.

KYLE: That might be a fact or symptom.

CLARICE: That’s a fact, but the truth is I’m healed, delivered and rich.

KYLE: Amen. So the truth is found in God’s Word and not in what you feel or what you fear or situations.

CLARICE: And the truth is what angels hearken to perform. When they recognize the Word of God, then we have superior air power immediately that comes into the Word of God bringing perfection or maturity. In our case with Julie, she had to reach the maturity. She had to have not just a doctrine, but she had to have an experience. And that’s where many people, they’re reared on the doctrines, which are good, you’re doctrine will determine your destiny, but the reality is, you must have an experience. Paul on the road to Damascus has an experience which changes him from a murdering terrorist into the one that brought the message of grace to the redeemed. It’s just incredible.
