SID: And we are in such presence of the fire angels right now. Interesting, you’re talking of it, of fire angels, and they’re all over this auditorium.

CANDICE: Amen. They are.

SID: You were talking about functions of angels. Tell us some more functions of angels.

CANDICE: Yes. They’ll bring purification, cleansing, healing, provision. There are so many different things that the angels do. And actually getting into the word of God, you can see how they also ushered in guardian… There were guardian angels, as in they had to guard specific things. We know they guarded the Ark of the Covenant, and we also know that they are around the throne of God. So they’re guarding things there as well. And so we just need to tap into, and I explained that in my book, all of their different functions, what they do and how can we call on them.

SID: That’s what you mean by cooperating.

CANDICE: That’s exactly right. So it’s a strategic partnership, like you said. And especially if you understand the different functions of the fire angels, since all angels have elements of fire with them, that’s why we call them fire angels. That’s why Hebrews 1:7 says that they are servants who are flames of fire. That’s why the word says that the voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fires because they respond to His voice. And so when you learn these things, you will be able to partner with angels in confidence. That’s what the Lord wanted from this book was that His people would become confident even in what they couldn’t see with the natural eye because everyone wants to see the big angel in front of him, but you have to know in the spirit that what the Lord’s word is, is life and it’s life—

SID: Hey, we’re better off than you. More blessed are those that believe—

CANDICE: That’s right, than who’ve seen.

SID: And those that have to believe to see the angels are actually in a more blessed position. The ones that see, they’re helping us realize how blessed we are.

CANDICE: Amen. Amen. That’s right. And when I go around and I teach this, I have seen… We’ve seen miraculous things. We have lots of testimonies that—

SID: Now, tell me a few of them.

CANDICE: Yeah. Well there’s one where I went to teach a leadership team in Oklahoma and I began to share with them front colors of the angels and what they did. Well, the associate pastor and his wife were sitting in the front row and they began to take notes fervently as to what I was saying, but they couldn’t get down everything. They didn’t know what color did what. Well, the pastor’s father was in the hospital and he was on a carbon dioxide mask and he was not healthy at all. He was in ICU. And they took these little bits that I shared with them and after they left the meeting that night, they called… Well, they called on the Lord and they prayed and they dispatched all the angels with all the different colors. They said, “We don’t know really what Dr. Candice has said about the colors, but we’re going to send the blue, orange, yellow. We’re going to send them to our father’s room and we just believe.”

SID: But how would you even know what to do with those words?

ROLAND: You know at that moment I didn’t. I was as shocked as them. I wasn’t sure really what to do. It was an invitation from the Lord into a moment. I think he was actually putting me through spiritual paces for what would come. Actually, this wasn’t an exercise in doing something with that. It was an exercise in knowing and it was an exercise in discerning and it was an exercise into leaning in and saying, “Yes,” to what the Father was opening my eyes to.

SID: But another thing that fascinates me about Roland is his work with the underground church and the miracles and the people coming to know Messiah. Tell me a few of those miracles.

ROLAND: Yeah. Yeah, there’s a massive move of God going on in the Middle East, in the country that we work in, Iran, particularly.

SID: Here’s what I’ve been told by experts. That outside of China the fastest growing church in the world, the last place you and I would think, Iran.

ROLAND: It’s exactly right. It’s one of the fastest growing churches in the world and it’s a movement of signs and wonders. It’s a movement of miracles, lots of visions and visitations. One testimony from one of the networks that we work with.

ROLAND: They were called into a meeting with quite an important person and thought they were in trouble and actually in a closed meeting were told, “The reason why we brought you here was our son was terminally ill. He was watching Christian television upstairs and he was touched by Jesus, walked down the stairs, which he wasn’t able to do, into our living room. What do we do about this person of Jesus? What do we do with this?” Miraculous.

SID: Yeah, beautiful.

ROLAND: Eight out of 10 people that we know that have come to Christ from Iran, it’s either through visions, dreams or direct visitations from Jesus.

SID: Tell me another person.

ROLAND: Yeah. This was here in Texas, where I’m from. It was a lady with a blind eye in the middle of worship. We began to release healing in the room and her eye popped open supernaturally, medically blind. We have it verified. And screamed, as you would if your eye suddenly opened. It wasn’t a reserved thing. She just began to explode and her blind eye was opened and healed in the presence of God.

SID: In the atmosphere of God all things—

ROLAND: Yes, in the atmosphere of God.

SID: .. all things are possible. Now 15 years ago, I managed to pry this out of him. He doesn’t share this too much but 15 years ago you had a new experience and you were called up to Heaven. Tell me about it.

ROLAND: Yeah. I don’t talk about this a lot. But yeah, 15 years ago was an introduction and it was a supernatural invitation and calling into rooms in Heaven. One particular place that I visited several times, it became known to me, aware that it was the nation strategy room.

RANDY: Yes.

SID: Explain.

RANDY: Well, I returned from that interview, and went straight to bed at home. And then I got up in the middle of the night, and my calf was sore. In fact, it was so sore, I could barely walk down the stairs. And so I finally got down the stairs, and I normally would bike up the coast. And so I got my bicycle. I started bicycling up the coast, but not only was it difficult to bicycle up the coast because it felt like a climbing a mountain, but I was very winded, and I didn’t understand this. Normally, the ocean would soothe me and comfort me, but it did not. So I struggled to get back home because I could not breathe effectively at this point, and my right leg was sore. I got home, and we were planning a trip to the mountains and that was after a long deal of stress.

RANDY: And so I decided, I should have known better. I went to the orthopedic doctor, the bone doctor of all things, and I wanted an anti-inflammatory to reduce the swelling, because my calf was about one and a half times its size, and I collapsed and ended up in the ER.

SID: What was the matter?

RANDY: I was diagnosed with six blood clots. And because I had let them go in an exercise, those blood clots had traveled up the leg, they had enlarged, and they had lodged within my pulmonary artery, which is the main blood flow to the lungs. And in addition to that, they rushed a patient out of the room, and I didn’t understand until later, one of the nurses told me that that patient had MRSA, which is a bacterial resistant strain, and I mean a drug-resistant bacteria. And what happened there is that that caused further clotting with my body. So it was like a traffic jam throughout my body. I was clotting all over to the point where the doctor could not pull out a blood sample from, from my brachial artery or my arm.

SID: The next day, you had an encounter with the God you were angry with. What happened?

RANDY: I went into septic shock and cardiac arrest. My heart stopped. And this was during a period of a little over 30 minutes. I started flopping on the bed like a floppy fish out of water, and then everything went dark. And I saw immediately thereafter, I saw what I know today to be warring angels. These were otherworldly figures. On one side, were brilliantly, or just clothed angels. On the other side, they looked more worn, and they were battling with what looked like swords. And I couldn’t quite figure it out, but I knew this, Sid, I knew that I needed to cry out the name of Jesus Christ. And I cried out the name of Jesus Christ. And immediately I was side to side with a figure, and his soft robe was against me. And he wrapped his left arm around my left shoulder.
