Sid Roth

JIM: He said, “We got you into the ambulance and by the time we was pulling you out of the car at the hospital, my partner looked at me and said, forget it, it’s too late, he’s dead.” I don’t remember this, but they said, I looked at him and said, “No, I’m still with you.” So they got me to the emergency room and they couldn’t find a plastic surgeon at 2:00 in the morning. So they just got this intern who started pulling shards of glass out of my eyes and my face. They called my mother. You can imagine a mother getting a phone call at 1:30, 2:00 in the morning. And they said, “Mrs. Max, your son Jim’s been in an accident.” And she said, “Well, can I come down in the morning?” And they, she said, for her, this was nothing new. I had just got out jail for minor stuff. And between my brothers and myself, well, this was nothing new.

SID: Not only was your father an alcoholic, but your brothers, some of them were alcoholics.

JIM: Yeah. Yes. Sid, five out of eight of us eventually became alcoholics. It just ran in our family. And so my mother jumped in the car by herself and she got to the hospital and they said, “Ma’am, your son at this point has fallen into a coma, with the amount of glass in his left eye. We just don’t know if he’ll ever see again out of it. He has a cut across the top of his skull it’s very deep. The possibility of brain damage is very real. His jaw was a compound fracture, literally came through his skin and the intern is in there now pulling shards of glass out of his eyes.” And so, they said, “Ma’am, there’s not much you can do now. You may as well come back in the morning.”

JIM: So Sid, my mother used to tell me, “Jimmy, when I got in the car, Satan was relentless with me that night. The enemy of my soul just continued to hammer me and hammer me by saying to me, ‘Where’s his God of yours now, Isabelle? This all powerful Jesus Christ you claim to serve. Where’s he at, Isabelle? Tell me about him. Look at your husband, look at Jack, look at Jim. Tell me about it, Isabelle. Where’s he at when you need him the most?'” So you can imagine the discouragement and the fear, the doubt, the unbelief that Satan was trying to throw upon her.

JIM: Sid she told me that when she got home, she just fell on her knees next to her bed, where we had heard her cry out so often before God, for us. Sid she told me she just started crying “Jesus, please don’t let him be blind. Jesus, please when’s it going to end. Jesus, please. When are you going to do something?” You can imagine a mother’s cry. But Sid it was then she told me that the Holy Spirit came alongside of her and said, “Isabelle, that’s enough now, Isabelle, that’s enough. Let’s begin to praise God, Isabel, because He’s holy and He’s worthy. Isabel, praise God.” So as hard as that is, Sid, in the midst of a crisis like that, my mother said, “Jimmy, I broke out in praise. I broke out in worship, an adoration to my God. I started to see the scriptures in, like a movie screen, in front of me. The Holy Spirit was putting in front of me to quote back to God that He is holy. That He’s righteous. That He’s true, that He can do anything.” And she just began to worship and worship Him.

SID: You say everyone of us is going to be activated in the supernatural. I mean everyone? The people watching right now? Everyone?

Audience: Yeah.

BILL: Every believer.

SID: Every believer, what—

BILL: Mark says, these times shall follow them that—

SID: Yeah, but the average believer doesn’t even know what the supernatural signs are.

BILL: No, they don’t. That’s the reason they need to be trained and activated in supernatural manifestation. That’s what I have done for 40 years, teach, train and activate people to hear the voice of God and manifest their spiritual gifts and demonstrate the power of God.

BILL: We all have that right and privilege to heal the sick, cast out devils. I’ve asked people, how many people have you healed lately? How devils you cast out lately, out of somebody besides yourself?

BILL: God’s raising up a people that’s going to dare to believe they are who God says they are. They can do what God says they can do and we can accomplish what God said we can accomplish.

SID: It’s coming… It’s coming. I tell you what, Bill, can we really make a difference?

BILL: Absolutely.

SID: With everything going on in the world today?

BILL: Absolutely. We are God’s delegated authority to what happens on the earth.

Audience: Amen. Amen.

SID: All right. As everyone’s watching and they’re saying, “Lord, start with me. What can I do?” What can they do?

BILL: Well, start off with make a dedication they want to die to self, come alive to Christ and give their whole self to being who God wants them to be, do what God wants them to do and get under some training and equipping to activate you in your spiritual gifts and your spiritual powers and authority.

BILL: So many saints go to church for 40 years and never change. They’re just doing the same old thing, the same old way and we’re to go from glory to glory and faith to faith and we’re to produce and manifest and every child of God should be healing the sick and casting out devils but they don’t know how. You have to be taught just like you have to be trained how to witness, you’ve have to be trained how to pray properly.

BILL: You have to be trained. Everybody needs training and my friends didn’t believe I could train people to be prophetic and I said, “Well, if I don’t train them to be prophetic they may be pathetic.” So we’ve got to get them activated. I’ve never found anybody I couldn’t activate, I could not activate in the prophetic from six years old to 80 years old.

Audience: Amen. Amen.

SID: Okay. I want you, no matter what this person’s age, describe to me exactly what the final reformation believers are going to look like. Paint me a picture.

BILL: These final reformation believers will be like Joel said, “There’s never been the like before and there’ll never be a need for it after that,” because they’re going to be the most fanatical, radical, Jesus loving, devil hating, God fearing, full faith, all out love not their lives unto death.

BILL: They’re going to be so hot for God that the devil can’t handle them. He can’t stop them and they’re not going to stop until the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and [inaudible] and we’re going to fulfill all scriptures so that Jesus can return. He wants to return. He’s wanted to return for 2000 years but he was held in the heavens till then. But this generation is going to fulfill all things, accomplish all things and bring back the King of Kings.

SID: Donna Grisham was born prematurely and literally had to fight for life to survive. As a child, her father took her and her siblings and left her mother stranded on the side of the road. And when she was 16, things got even worse. Donna, you look strong, healthy, vibrant, but what happened at 16?

DONNA: Sid, the worst nightmare of my life happened. I happened to go to a bowling alley with a friend of mine. Her parents picked me up and we went to the bowling alley, met two guys, and during the time we were bowling, she started talking to one of the guys and she really got close. And they were talking about going riding. They wanted us to go ride and she came back over to me. She started talking, she said, “They want us to go riding.” And I said, “I can’t do that.” I said, “My grandmother told me not to leave the bowling alley.” She kept on and on. And as you know, sometimes when you’re 16, “peer” pressure, you just fall into the peer pressure. So I left with them. And honestly, when I was leaving the bowling alley, as we were leaving, driving off, my thought was, “I’m leaving with two people, strangers, that I don’t even know.”

DONNA: And in the back of my mind, “What am I doing?” But I never said anything, so I went ahead and the other guy that she liked wanted to go and pick up his truck. And so they stopped to pick up his truck and she got out. And so I went to get out also. And she said, “No,” she said, “He’s going to take you back to the bowling… He’ll take you back.” And I thought, “I don’t want to go with him. I want to go with you.” And she said, “You’ll be fine.” He ended up pulling off. And we pulled off. He drove a little ways and pulled into an alleyway and raped me. And after that, he opened the door and said, “Get out.” And he dropped me on the side of the road. And I remember when I fell, I skinned my arm up.

DONNA: And so as I’m walking, trying to get back to the bowling alley, and that wasn’t very far from the bowling alley. So I finally made it back to the bowling alley. And as I made it back to the bowling alley, I went in and I saw her and the other guy, they had already gotten back there. I don’t even think I said anything. I just ran to the bathroom. I went to the bathroom and she came in after me. After she came in, she said, “What is going on? What is your problem?” And I said, “He raped me.” And she said, “No, just say what it was, Donna, it’s consensual.” And I said, “He raped me. Do you hear me? He raped me.” And she just kept saying, “It is consensual.”

DONNA: And she walked out and I was standing there going, “Now, let me go back. When he dropped me off, the one thing he said to me, he said, ‘Nobody’s ever going to believe you.'” Then the girl, my friend, supposed to be my friend, telling me that it’s consensual, that it wasn’t rape. And I was like, “It’s happening. It’s exactly what he said. She doesn’t believe me, who else is going to believe me?” So I took it and I packaged it and I wasn’t going to say anything. I was never going to talk about this.
