Our Guest Chris Dupre
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)
CHRIS: I said where’d you hear that? She goes the Lord just told me as soon as you walked in the room. Said he’s supposed to write a book, he’s got a lot of books in him but he’s not written it yet and I’m supposed to tell you to write the book. I went oh God, I don’t want to write the book. All my friends have books. There’s enough books out there. And then the Lord just said what happens when you share your story? People cry. What happens when they get cry? They go back and get healing. What happens when they get healing? They reconcile with their parents. I got 2 emails today in the last 24 hours. Thank you for writing what you wrote because it, I went back and now my dad, we had a horrible relationship but I’m now reconciled and I actually work for him full time. That’s what God wants. He’s the God of reconciliation. So I’m sitting in my living room in Franklin Tennessee watching football because it’s on a Sunday afternoon because that’s what men do on Sunday afternoons. We watch football. And the screens there and suddenly a screen comes down in my living room. And it… I can see through that to my TV and I’m freaking out and I yell for my wife, Laura! She’s not there and my other daughter is in a room somewhere and I’m just watching this screen come down and I’m going what is this? And then suddenly this image on the screen begins to play out. It wasn’t black and white, but it was, it was an old, old color like from the 70’s when you see things, remember, it’s kind of not as crisp and this thing began to play out on the screen in between me and the football game. And it’s me in my apartment with two guys that I was living with back in the early 70’s, a guy named Jim, a guy named Dick. And we’re sitting there and in our apartment we had a love seat, a terrible chair, a terrible love seat and a Lazy Boy chair. Now if you sat in the Lazy Boy chair you were in charge of getting the phone. We didn’t have phones like we have now. This was a phone, remember those 20 foot cords that you could into the bathroom and talk at the same time? You just had to be careful when you flushed. (laughs) So it’s one of those phones that’s on the wall. Each of us is over 6 feet, we were 6g1, 6g1 and 6g2 so the phone’s up high on the wall. And I’m watching this image going I remember this! And Dick is back in the chair and he’s got his hands behind his head. He’s now had his hands behind his head for about an hour and a half. All right? Just think of what happens to your arms after an hour and a half in one position with a little bit of pressure right there. So suddenly the phone rings. And I’m watching this. I remember it from 40 years ago. The phone rings and we look over and Dick’s asleep. And so it’s our job now to wake him up cause he’s in charge of the phone. You got it? We’re not going to get the phone. We have to sit in the bad chairs it’s bad enough with that. So we just started yelling Dick, Dick, get up, get up, the phone. So finally he gets up. When He gets up his arms go… they drop by his side and he goes oh no, the phone. And he walks over and his arms are like this and he tries to get the phone. He can’t get the phone and we were watching him and he’s flailing his arms and I’m laughing so hard I got down on the ground and began to punch the rug because his arms are flailing and it’s like a bad movie and he can’t, he can’t get it. So finally he takes his shoulder and he goes like this and we watch the phone go up in the air and it comes crashing down on the floor. And then he tries to pick it up and he can’t get the phone. And that makes us laugh even louder. And then we hear this tiny little voice in the phone, Hello, Hello. And we’re going, and we started laughing louder and she goes I hear you laughing.
Our Guest David Turner
SID: You know, David, looking back, you really were sabotaged. You really had no chance in life. I mean, your Russian Jewish father walks out when you’re, what, one year of age, and he was addicted to gambling. And then your mother remarries to a pastor and the pastor gets drunk on Saturday night and preaches on Sunday, and slaps you around. You should have been, you should have hated all religion. That’s what you were being set up for, I believe.
DAVID: Yes. Actually the enemy was on me before I knew there was an enemy, and from the beginning of my life it was up to destroy what now I know that God was going to do in my life. But the plans of God can never be defeated, so here I am today. And what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. The very curses that the enemy thought he was putting on me, God used at, Romans 8:28, “For my blessing.” Because I hated phoniness and hypocrisy, and I couldn’t stand it. That became my greatest blessing coming into a miracle ministry where I won’t exaggerate and won’t have phoniness in my life.
SID: Okay. So 14 years after you get born from above you had a revelation from God and you start a Bible study in this mega-million-dollar business that you have. And your wife then says, “You should have him counsel you on some of that.” I mean, you went through a lot of stuff and you need a counselor, especially because of the interpersonal relationships that were so wounded throughout your life. And so you make a meeting appointment with this pastor that’s running the Bible study in your business, and what happened?
DAVID: Yes. And by the way, my wife said to me, she said, “Go see that pastor. He can break that off your life.” And I’m thinking, what it is an icicle or a barnacle, you’re going to break it off my life? What is that? And, but it took me about three months before I’d go see him.
SID: And by the way, how skeptical were you of miracles?
DAVID: Because of the phoniness and the things that I had seen and people that said things in the name of Jesus or God I didn’t hear anything anyone had to say because all I had known was phoniness, so I was very, very skeptical about other things that were not real. I basically, I was like Thomas. I had to see it and know it, otherwise I couldn’t believe it.
SID: Even though it was in the Bible, you still had to see it and know it.
DAVID: Absolutely. There was no way, because I believe Jesus was right, the people representing him I don’t think were so right.
SID: Okay. So what happened when you got together with this pastor?
DAVID: So I go to meet with this pastor. I’m thinking it’s another counseling session and I always have all the right things to say. If you’re happy with your life today you got to be happy that happened to you to make you this way. I knew all the right things and felt I was doing fine. But I told my wife, I said, “I think God wants to do something in my life and something is holding me back. I think it’s my past.” So what happens is I go see this pastor. I’m thinking it will be a counseling session. He doesn’t let me speak a word. He opens up the Bible. He shows me all the verses for two hours for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and tells me all these things.
Pastor: Suddenly a sound like that of a roaring, rushing wind…
DAVID: And afterwards he says, “What do you think?”
Pastor: What do you think?
DAVID: I’m worn out. I’m exhausted. I said, “I think you wore me out. I’m exhausted.” He goes,
“No, what do you think?”
DAVID: I said, “I always have two prayers. One is Jesus, I want to know you better, and the other is, I always said, Jesus I want all that you have for me. He goes, “That’s good enough for me. Stand up, hold up your hands and I’m going to pray for you.”
SID: Had you ever held up your hands like King David said, “I lift holy hands to…”?
DAVID: Never, never. I came from a very conservative background.
SID: Okay.
DAVID: So anyway, what happens is this pastor, I stand up, hold up my hands, he prays for me. At first, he starts praying things that he knew about my life no one could have ever told him or he didn’t know. I didn’t know at the time, but it’s called a word of knowledge. So then as he’s praying, this power of God goes right through me. I didn’t know what it was, but I’ll give you the example. When I lived in Buffalo, growing up it was cold. If you go into a restaurant and they opened the door in the winter, a draft would blow through you, your jacket and you would feel cold. Well this was the same thing. It was like a draft that blew through me, except it was on the inside of my body. So I feel this and I’m saying, what is that? As I’m thinking about this draft, all of a sudden this pastor says to me, “What do you know about healing?” I said, “I know it happens in the Bible.” He goes, “No, no, it happens today.” I literally said, “No disrespect, Pastor, I’ll believe it when I see it.” He goes, “You won’t see it, you’ll do it.” I said, “Why don’t I just see it first and then we’ll talk about doing.” That was the end. But I want to tell you, this is how skeptical, and he prayed for me. It was amazing. I went home that night, I thought, this pastor tricked me. He had me hold my hands up so long that my body went numb and that’s why I had that feeling.
SID: But you felt something.
DAVID: But I thought it was the devil telling me no way.
SID: You know that devil is diabolical.
DAVID: You know, he is and I didn’t know that at the time, which made it worse. So many people, I was like, when people talked about the devil, you know, I said if people would pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop blaming the devil they’d be just fine. I didn’t believe that stuff. And the funny thing is I still tell people today, that’s still partially true. Sometimes people are so busy messing up their own lives it’s not the devil. But the truth is I fight the enemy all the time, and we’ll get to that, I’m sure.
SID: Okay. But what I’m interested in right now is something happened with all that garbage over all those years, all the hurts and wounding.
DAVID: Well let me tell you because this is key. So the first miracle was actually a healing of my past. I had so many stories. My daughter at six years old could tell you everything that happened to me. I would tell the story every night. My wife would tell you she was so sick. If we went to a restaurant, a waiter offered fish, I wouldn’t just say no, thank you, I’d say, “My grandmother shoved fish down my throat all my life and made me sit there while it was cold for ten hours. She died and I won’t forget it.” I had such an issue from my past. Here’s what happened. The minute he prayed, literally, half of the stories from my past I couldn’t even remember, they were erased. The other half, it was as if, I’ll give you the example. If you were in Vietnam watching your friends getting shot in the trenches versus if you were at a home, you didn’t know anyone over there and you were reading about it in the newspaper, you have all the facts, but there’s no emotion. From that day until now, my past has never come up again.
SID: But beyond that, he got a gift, a supernatural gift of healing. The whole thing that he thought was phony baloney, he now has. He gets healed two times himself and then he heals a prominent NFL football player. And I want you to share, and this is so important, the most important secret that you have learned to walk in everything the Bible says you can walk in, every promise is yours. Yours. We’ll be right back.
Our Guests Dennis and Jennifer Clark
AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)
JENNIFER: God has been teaching us amazing secrets on how He created us and also how science and the supernatural collide.
DENNIS: Actually that’s the two of us. She’s the science. I’m the supernatural.
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING)
DENNIS: And we’re going to collide and then express that collision all over you.
AUDIENCE: Glory to God. Thank You, Lord.
JENNIFER: Let me start out by painting a picture for you. I want you to imagine being in the desert with the children of Israel. They have come out of Egypt to mighty deliverance and God parted a way through the Red Sea and then swamped their enemies with the waves and they drowned the Egyptian army in the waves. They come out on the other side. They experience the miracle of the healing of water at Marah. This is the first time God revealed Himself as the healer. And then God continues to unfold His plans. And Moses begins to cry out for the glory of God. And God comes. He sends the rays of His glory to Mount Sinai. But the children of Israel said you can go up Moses because we’re afraid. But Moses boldly went up and spent 40 days and nights being immersed in the glory of God. And when he came down out of that mountain the skin of his face had been so transformed that he glowed with such a light that the children of Israel were terrified. What is this that has happened to him? And so he put a veil over his face because they were afraid to come near him. Now let’s go to science. What physical mechanism did God put in Moses’ body that allowed him to be so transformed by the glory? It appears that according to recent scientific discoveries our cells are made for the glory of God. Amazing secrets. God formed you for health, spiritual, emotional and physical.
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING) Whoo!
JENNIFER: And then we have Psalm 103 our covenant of healing that says our healer heals all our diseases. Now I want to tell you another secret. The divine healer Himself lives in your heart. Jesus Himself said the kingdom of God is within you. That means the glories of the kingdom are within us. That means the glory is in us. The same glory that transformed the cells of Moses. Now let me tell you about your cells. On the surface of your cells is the cell membrane. That cell membrane is fascinating scientifically and spiritually. First of all that cell membrane has receptors that pick up all environmental signals that are impacting that cell whether its nutritional information, whether it’s emotional information, whether it’s information of about who you are, your identity and spiritual information. As born again children of God through your emotions and the Holy Spirit working within you, your life story is told on the surface of each one of your cells. Who you’ve become is reflected on your cells. The more you know God the more your new creation identity rises to the surface. That is written on your cells!
AUDIENCE: Whoooa!
JENNIFER: Eventually by the time you’re in heaven your cells are going to be so impacted by the new creation identity and the glory of God that you will live in a glorified body for all eternity! That’s what God created you for.
DENNIS: We can start now, can we?
JENNIFER: We can. On your cells too there are gates and channels that open according to the environmental information and then draw the information into the interior of the cell and that changes the cells and then when the cell divides that information is passed on to its offspring and that new cell offspring learns more about God and that’s transmitted to the next offspring. So you see we’re continually being changed. You cannot spend time in the presence of God without being changed emotionally, spiritually and spiritually!
AUDIENCE: Glory to God! Yeah! (CLAPPING)
DENNIS: Think about that for a while. You can soak in that.
AUDIENCE: Yes. Yes.
JENNIFER: We however can sabotage the process. Who thinks that maybe we humans can mess up things sometimes? Maybe interfere with God. Maybe not believe God. Maybe limit what God could do in our lives. You remember when Jesus went into some towns that the people said oh, that’s just Joseph’s son. And He could do no mighty miracles in those places. So we can limit God. Now I’m going to give you some secrets that we’ve learned. Do you know what writes the information of your life on your cells? Your emotions. Your emotions are not mental concepts. Your emotions are transmitted through your entire body through tiny molecules of emotion called, here’s a big word, neuropeptides. You can just call them molecules of emotion. When those impact our cells our cells read that signal and we experience it as an emotion. Now scientists know, it is well proven, that even in an unsaved person, that good emotions promote good health. Negative emotions promote sickness and disease. Now remember our life story is written in our cells. Our biography becomes our biology. So anything that we don’t deal with that comes from the enemy, and by the way where do you think negative emotions came from?
AUDIENCE: The enemy.
JENNIFER: Right. And the negative emotions give the enemy legal ground to bring diseases into our body. So the traumas of childhood if undealt with by forgiveness, our key for removing negative emotions, the disease, the negative emotions of childhood can become the diseases of adulthood. But we’re going to tell you how to sabotage what the enemy has been trying to do in your life. We are going to give you the keys today because Jesus has given us the way to, through forgiveness, wash out those negative emotions of even things we’ve forgotten about. But negative emotions, our emotions don’t die they just get buried alive and go under the surface so it doesn’t matter if we’ve forgotten them. It’s… so our heart and our emotions hidden in our cells are continually whispering their message to our entire body but Jesus wants to set you free. He wants to tell you how to remove those barriers to your health and He wants to take you from needing healings to walking in a place of divine health. It is the children’s bread. It is our covenant with God!
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING)
Our Guest Art Thomas
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)
ART: Yeah. So separate yourself from that thinking. Set aside the thorn in the flesh thing. That’s not for you. If you’ve had all kinds of crazy revelations of heaven that are too wonderful to share then sure you’re allowed to have one if you want to. It’s okay?
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)
ART: But until you’ve had that I’m not letting you claim it. All right? So that’s the deal. Now another one. Jacob’s limp. What about Jacob? He limped for the rest of his life and it was a blessing. Did you know that’s nowhere in the Bible? Did you know that? I searched backwards and forwards could not find anything that said Jacob limped for the rest of his life. What I did find the reason we believe it is because Jacob wrestles with that angel. Right? And some believe that is was actually a pre-incarnate Jesus that he wrestled with and he wrestles with Him until I want that blessing. Right? And then the blessing was a dislocated hip or something like that, we think. But whatever happened it says that as the sun rose over Peniel, Jacob stumbled. He limped or halted says the King James. The Greek word there literally means “stumbled” in fact everywhere else that it’s used in the Old Testament to describe an action it’s translated “stumbled” but to describe a person it’s translated “lame.” Okay? And then the other verse we have is that at the end of his life at 140 years old it says he leaned on his staff and blessed his sons. And people say well he leaned on his staff. That meant he must have limped his whole life. Moses had a staff. We don’t think he limped. Elijah had a staff. We don’t think he limped. It was a sign of authority. And if you’re 140 years old I expect you to be leaning on a staff. Right?
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)
ART: There’s no scripture verse that says he limped for the rest of his life. You see every one of these questions we have can be brought to the scripture. You can study it out and you’ll find out none of them are true. All these arguments we’ve had you can wipe them away. Paul leaving Timothy, or leaving Trophimus sick in Miletus. Well guess what? Paul had a mission. I’ve got friends who I’ve prayed for hundreds of times. They’re still not healed and I have a mission and I’ve going to leave them where they are and go minister at a church somewhere and it’s heart breaking but it has to happen. It doesn’t mean God doesn’t want to heal them. Just cause someone’s not healed doesn’t mean God doesn’t want it. In fact Second Peter 3: 9, I believe it is, says that God wills that none should perish and that all would come to repentance. But we know from scripture that some people perish in hell and don’t repent. So God’s will is not always done. God’s will is that none should perish yet some people perish. Jesus taught us to pray “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth just like it is in heaven.” Why would we have to pray that His will would be done if it’s always done? Romans 12:2: “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you’ll be able to test and approve what God’s will is. His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Why would you need to test and approve what His will is if everything that happens is His will? You just kind of take it for granted. But if you’ve going to say umm, is that His will? Yup. Yup. Yup. He does want to heal people. Is that is His will? Like you’re walking across some rope bridge in a movie that always falls. Right? We know how this goes. But you’re testing and approving every board. See? Jesus wants you to know His will. That’s why you have to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That’s why we’re doing this teaching. So that the Holy Spirit can get into your brain and take out those arguments and you can just rise up with faith and say no, no, no. Jesus wants this! The reason I’m so convinced that He wants it is that He paid the price for it. You don’t pay for something you don’t want. If you were to go to Walmart and buy the biggest big screen TV they have and they deliver it to your house cause it’s too big to fit in your car and you open up that box and it’s empty? You’re going back to Walmart. You know like give me my money or give me my TV! Right? There’s no way you’re settling for that. If you paid for it you want it!
AUDIENCE: That’s right!
ART: Did Jesus pay a high price for healing?
AUDIENCE: Yes, He did!
ART: He wants it. And He paid a much higher price than a measly few thousand dollars for a stinking TV. You know? Our Jesus is amazing. He wants it. In fact First John 2:2 tells us that He paid not only for our sins as believers but also for the sins of the whole world. That doesn’t mean every single person on the planet is saved but it means every person’s paid for. You pay for what you want. You see? God wills that none should perish. You pay for what you want. He paid for all. Do you see how that works? You can go to even someone who doesn’t believe in Jesus and minister healing to them. He wants it. He wants it. He wants it. Now I want to just look at a few more things. He’s the Lord our Healer. That’s proof that it’s His nature to heal. I mean He’s called “Jehovah Shalom.” The Lord our Peace. Does His peace have limits? You know? Is He ever not peaceful? “Jehovah Tsidkenu,” He is Righteous. Is He ever not righteous? No. So “Jehovah Rapha,” the Lord our healer. Is there ever a time when He is not offering healing? It’s His nature. It’s who He is. You can’t separate Him from His nature. Now, since this is part of His nature it is something that naturally flows from Him. Healing’s been purchased for everyone once and for all. Therefore it should come as no surprise that absolutely anyone can be healed by the Lord our Healer. It’s His nature and we’ve been given access to His nature through knowing Jesus Christ. So Second Peter 1:4 says that “Through God’s glory and goodness He has given us His very great and precious promises so that through them YOU may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” In other words not only is healing part of God’s nature, but through knowing Christ His healing power naturally becomes part of your own nature. Because you’ve been given to participate in the divine nature!
Our Guest Brian Simmons
AUDIENCE: Yes. Yeah.
BRIAN: And those of you watching today as we finish we just want you to be hungry. And I’m sharing some of the stories of my life to help you understand that you likewise are as cherished by God as any other human being. You’re loved. You’re His favorite one. Song of Songs, 6, verse 9, read it in the [ ] translation. You are His favorite one. See, I’m His favorite one. But you can say it too. Go ahead and say it. Let’s have heaven practice.
AUDIENCE: I’m His favorite one.
BRIAN: Oh, say it again. That’s better than Mufasa.
AUDIENCE: I’m His favorite one!
BRIAN: I’m His favorite one. No, I’m His favorite one.
AUDIENCE: I’m His favorite one!
BRIAN: You see God doesn’t play favorites. We’re all His favorite. And just like John identified his life he says I’m the one that Jesus loved. I’m the disciple that Jesus loved. He didn’t say I’m the one He loved more than you. He just identified himself as being loved by God. Every person in this room and everyone watching can say I’m the one that Jesus loves. And John chose to identify himself in that way and so you can you. So expect tonight heavenly dreams. Take your dreams more seriously. Write them out. My wife has written out literally thousands and thousands of dreams and we take them seriously. We pray over every one of them. And I’m not here to teach on dreams but just to say that the New Testament began with 5 dreams. If you look at the first two chapters of Matthew carefully, count them yourself, there were 5 prophetic dreams. The New Testament began with the spirit of revelation. And the Last Days Church is going to have the fullness of the lampstand. The 7 torches burning, the 7 branches of the lampstand are going to be shining on us. Now the lampstand has 7 branches, three on each side. Okay? And on each branch was engraved fruit. Three stages: bud û blossom û fruit. The 6 lateral branches of the lampstand, bud û blossom û fruit, it had that sequence 3 times. Each branch had 3 stages of fruit times 3. 3 times 3 equals 9 fruit of the Spirit. 9 fruit on every branch. Every branch is a fruit bearing shaft. Now the central shaft was taller and it had the bud û blossom ûfruit sequence 4 times. 4 times 3 equals 12.
AUDIENCE: 12
BRIAN: Very smart! 12 is the apostolic, it’s the governmental number. 12 tribes of Israel. 12 Apostles. So it is Christ, the Chief Apostle. He’s the anointed one above all others. Right? Well, so this is a fruit bearing lampstand. It’s, it’s the Tree of Life. It’s the burning bush that Moses put into the Tabernacle. So it’s 6 branches with 9 fruit each. 6 times 9 equals… you didn’t know you were coming for a Math lesson… 6 times 9 equals
AUDIENCE: 54!
BRIAN: 54. The central shaft had 12 expressions of fruit. 12 plus 54 equals 66 books of the Bible. Thy Word is a lampstand unto my feet, a light onto my path. Would you stand and I want to pray the spirit if revelation of the Lord over you. Secrets of the Lord are being revealed. You got to get on His couch. It’s a good place to be, to be on the couch of the Lord. Whooaa (prays in tongues) Holy Spirit (prays in tongues) come upon us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I release over you the spirit of revelation, discovery, the secrets of the Lord revealed as you sit on the couch of eternity with Him. Let the whispers of the night capture you. Let the glorious secrets of the God’s heart of love for you win you over. May you have your personal encounter. May you receive heavenly downloads. Impartation of the Holy Spirit. Fresh vision for your future. Hope that burns bright. And for anyone here in this room or watching this mentoring session, if you have a family member, I see right now there are families that are literally disintegrating and God is saying I want to put hope back into your heart. I want to release the burning bright hope of a new day. So I release to you hope. Everybody say “hope come back!”
AUDIENCE: Hope come back!
BRIAN: Hope burn bright!
AUDIENCE: Hope bun bright!
BRIAN: So Lord, may the God of glory, may the God of hope and the God of peace seal this prayer over each of us today in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
AUDIENCE: Amen. (APPLAUSE)
Our Guest Kevin Basconi
KEVIN: And God has angels like that he wants to release in your sphere of influence. I want to just, real quickly, we’re going to minister right here in just a second.

And Father, wherever my voice is being heard I ask you Father to begin to release angels of healing and miracles, supernatural miracles, Father, angels of creative miracles and supernatural provision. Thank you Father God. Do you feel something happening in that knee right there?
WOMAN #2: It’s feels very peaceful right now.
KEVIN: Okay. So Father, I thank you for touching this knee in the name of Jesus and…. Thank you Lord. There’s just a re-creative miracle happening in knees right now. And I’m going to ask one more time somebody over here have an issue with your knee? Is it you? Okay. Don’t be embarrassed. Here, hold my hand.

Now I just sense that’s there’s a creative miracle that’s starting to happen in that knee. In Jesus’ name. The tendons and ligaments are going to be re-created and they’re going to be stretched a little bit. They’ve atrophied a little bit and there’s been a tearing of the tendon from the bone and its being re-attached right now and actually re-created in the name of Jesus. Phew! There’s just a real strong heavy anointing and glory coming on you right now in Jesus’ mighty name. So Father we just thank You for what You’re doing. We thank You! Wow. That’s nice. You want to stand up for me for just a second if you don’t mind. Just stand up there. Now test your knee out, first of all. Thank you Lord. Is there any change yet?
WOMAN #3: Yes.
KEVIN: Yes? Can you say thank You a little bit? Okay. So Father we just thank you for touching this precious woman of God’s knee. Now here comes the glory of God is going to come down and just roll right off your shoulders, right down your back, phew, right down your spine, right through the hips, all the way down to the knees in Jesus’ mighty name. Even as you leave today and as you go home and lie down upon your bed this is going to be a progressive miracle. It’s going to continue in Jesus’ mighty name. I just declare to you sister that you are healed. Somebody give the Lord a handclap of appreciation!
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING)
KEVIN: Phew! Man, there’s such a strong glory and presence of the Lord in here. How many of you feel that presence right now? Let’s do this. I want to ask you just to stand up today. If you need a healing or a miracle I want to ask you just to stand up. Hallelujah. If you’re standing up and you don’t need a healing or a miracle I want to receive an impartation right now. The Book of Second Kings Elijah prayed for his servant. He said Lord, I pray you open up his eyes that he might see. And the scripture says and the Lord opened his eyes and the young man saw angels. He saw chariots and horsemen on the mountain of God. He saw into the spiritual dimension and Father I thank You right now for opening up people’s eyes to see into the heavenly places in the name of Yeshua ha Mashiach. And Father we thank You for releasing Your angels of healing and miracles right now into this place to begin to touch and minister for those who are here. Hallelujah. Now I sense that there’s a re-creative miracle happening in organs right now, pancreases, livers, bladders, pituitary glands in Jesus’ name. Someone’s being healed with the prostate gland in Jesus’ name. But specifically someone’s liver is being healed right now. Father we just ask You to release the fire of God into these bodies right now in Jesus’ mighty name. Elbows are being healed right now. Necks are being healed right now. In the name of the Lord. In the name of the Lord. Thank You Father God. Someone’s being healed. You’ve suffered and you’ve battled with chronic migraines. You’ve were in a car accident. You were whiplashed. You were hit basically from behind and it wrenched your neck. And right now in the name of the Lord I just sense the fire and the glory of God coming upon spines to heal chronic back pain right now in Jesus’ mighty name. In Jesus’ mighty name. Spines are being straightened and years of back pain is being healed right now in the name of the Lord. In the name of the Lord. Someone’s being healed of barrenness right now in Jesus’ mighty name. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Someone’s being healed of barrenness. Let me just say it again. You’ve been struggling to conceive. You’re going to bring forth a beautiful healthy baby in the name of Yeshua. Hallelujah. Let’s give God a hand clap of praise.
Our Guest David Yanez
AUDIENCE: Whooo! Whoo! (APPLAUSE)
DAVID: Amen! Amen! Everybody that’s tuned in I want to let you know that you’ve tuned in to the right spot. Amen? How many of us have prayed and nothing’s happened? C’mon, who’s prayed out there? Who’s prayed out there and then nothing happened? And you’re like sitting there and you’re wondering and you say, hey, did I do something wrong? Who’s been in that? I’ve been in that! I’ve even recently saying Lord, well what about me? (laughs) Everybody ever do the “what about me” prayer? What about me? I mean I just I looked at things and say God, I’m an anointed man of God. C’mon, who’s anointed in here? Who’s anointed out there? You’re anointed. You believe in God. You know the scripture works! Well, why not? I tell you God has deposited something in my spirit and that something is “igniting faith!” Igniting faith! Some of us just need a little bit of help. C’mon a little bit of help. And it pops. C’mon. That why you can be at an event, and you ever been to an event where you see a lot of people there and well maybe the front part of the crowd got really blessed and they got all the miracles and maybe some people in the middle but definitely in the back maybe just one or two. And you’re wondering how did God miss them? Right? And have you ever been one that God missed, that you thought God missed? And you’re sitting there and you’re like how did this happen? I tell you what. God don’t miss anyone. Amen?
AUDIENCE: Amen!
DAVID: He doesn’t miss anyone. He knows where you’re at. Even that little bit of faith just needs some help to get pulled up! C’mon. There was this Kenyan woman that I prayed for and when I was praying for her, I was coming up to pray for her and when I was about to lay my hands I pulled my hands back and I just pointed at her. You’re healed! And I kept going and prayed for everybody else. She’s walking home and she’s wondering why did the man of God, why did he say I was healed because I’m not even sick. I’m not even sick. And then the friend that brought her said well you know what? God was showing him something so maybe it was something that you needed and you didn’t know and she goes no way. I would know if I’m sick. In the morning she calls the same friend she was walking with and the friend picks up the phone and it was so early in the morning she goes why are you calling so early? I’m healed! I’m healed! I’m healed! I’m healed! I’m healed! And then all of a sudden she’s like well I thought you weren’t sick. She goes well let me tell you my story. Ever since she was a little girl she would wake up in like fetal position and then twenty minutes would go by and then her body would get loose and she was able to get out of bed. She thought this was normal. All her life she’s been like that. And then that morning after I prayed she just got right out of bed. She didn’t know she was sick. C’mon! She didn’t know she was sick!
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING)
DAVID: In that same conference there was, the same conference there was another lady, another Kenyan woman, and she was coming to the soccer field. Let me tell you why she was coming to the soccer field. She lost her business. She had a big order come in and unlike America the Kenyans have to pay for their schooling up front, you know, so it was like 4500 bucks or whatever it is. They have to pay up front so she was catering and doing all this stuff to get the money to pay for her kid’s education and she had a huge order come in and when someone didn’t come pick it up it just destroyed her business. This woman grabbed a knife and she’s going to the soccer field to kill herself. She was going there to kill herself. And when she got to the soccer field to go kill herself because she wanted them to find her body, she did not want to be in the streets and she called her sister and said to feed her kids a sandwich tonight, that she was not coming home till late. And she went to the field and when she got to the field all she sees in the soccer goal was my big banner. I’m holding a crusade right where she wanted to go kill herself. Praise God! (laughs) Praise God!
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING)
DAVID: When I walk up there she comes in and I’m preaching and soon the Spirit’s just changed my sermon. He goes go to forgiveness and I start preaching on forgiveness and then she went and she made peace with people that had done things to her and everything. She decided not to kill herself at that moment. In fact she got delivered and by the end of the week she was saved and she came up to the stage to testify about it and when she is testifying about all the stuff she goes I don’t care about the money. We’ll make it cause I have faith in God. And I’m like looking at this and I wave at my security to bring my bag and I took out some of the shillings and I just put it on the stage at her feet. Well I didn’t know what I started. All of a sudden all the people, it was like “The Price is Right,” people start running down and they start blessing her. So we filled up a bucket, a five gallon yellow bucket and it was pushed down, pressed over and overflowing for her needs!
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING)
Our Guests Hakeem & Naim Collins
SID: Okay. So Naim, what’s the word “Naim” mean, by the way?
NAIM: My name Naim, it’s the ruler name in Arabic. It means peacemaker. It means one who is tranquil, one who is stable.
SID: Hakeem, is he a peacemaker and tranquil except when he fights with you?
HAKEEM: Yes, he is.
SID: Let me ask you this because so few understand this, and that is soul ties. Hakeem, what is a soul tie? Give me some examples.
HAKEEM: Well a soul tie is basically a mutual bonding or knitting, or tie of the soul. It has to be two parties that are coming together in agreement. And so a soul tie can also be something financial. You can have a financial soul tie. Soul ties are established verbally, contractually.
SID: So I think in terms when I hear that someone had an intimate relationship before they were married and they say, well I guess it’s over, but that can be affecting them even today.
HAKEEM: Exactly. You know, a sexual encounter can establish a soul tie. And so but biblically when we think about a covenant, a legal soul tie is established by a man and a woman in marriage. But there are those who have been in past relationships who may have moved on to a new relationship and they’re feeling the effects or the trauma from that past one, even though they have a new one. And so sometimes we have to break and sever those pasts or even present soul ties and soul agreements because they had impacted our lives now. There are those who are now in new relationships that are affected by hurt, abuse, verbal abuse, all those things that have happened because of what is established in the past.
SID: It just keeps rolling on and on.
HAKEEM: It’s a cycle.
SID: Unless you know how to break that cycle you’re in trouble. You know another thing the Bible talks specifically about how bad a sexual sin outside of marriage is. And do you know why it’s so bad? Because you become one with that partner and every demon they have has legal access to enter you. I mean, that’s why it’s not that God is trying to hurt you, he’s trying to help you by letting you know this.
HAKEEM: Yes.
SID: Now tell me about a blockage involving financial risk.
HAKEEM: Well that’s where I got a revelation from the Lord because I found in my own finances, I worked in banking for some time, for seven times. So me working in banking I felt like I had an anointing of Joseph.
SID: You didn’t go to prison.
NAIM: Right. I didn’t see the manifestation, so I’m like, well God, I just got a new job, I get paid well, but I was finding some patterns. There was these, I felt like there was holes in my pocket. It was like I was sowing, I was tithing, I was doing the best that I can. I was obeying the Word of God, but naturally and financially I was hitting a wall. And so the Lord gave me a vision. When I went into a season of fasting, the Lord literally gave me a vision, and in this vision I saw a web. This web had all the jobs, the names of the jobs, the previous jobs that I had, the names were on this web, every name. And so they were stuck. And so as I was praying and God showed me this web then I literally saw these papers that were coming down from Heaven and on them were contracts and they had “Debt” on them, and my signature was on these contracts that were coming down. They were invoices, debt. I had to break and sever those old contracts that I had with human resources, those jobs that went in bankruptcy, the jobs that merged. The jobs that had financial or legal issues were impacting my finances. Even though I was moved on to a new employment, but spiritually, it was impacting me. So I had to sever and cut those webs, those cords, those soul agreements because my signature was on those documents when that job went into bankruptcy. And so I was finding holes in my finances. Once I got that revelation, God began to now show me how to break it, sever the soul agreement. I repented. I stood in the gap and right after that I saw instantaneously miracles, financially. My credit score went up 160 points. I saw checks that were coming in the mail out of nowhere. There were even jobs that I applied for five and six years ago, they were calling me, emailing me. This was a time where I believe that God would give me the revelation to break the soul agreement so that I can prosper. And so even those that are watching right now, I just sense that you felt like you were in a financial dilemma. You felt like you’ve been stuck, you’ve been tithing, you’ve been giving.
SID: By the way, I just heard there are people watching that everything they invest in goes sour, everything.
NAIM: Everything.
SID: Pray for them, too.
NAIM: Even your investments, even if you got stocks and you got bonds, things that you have saved, and you got CDs or you have money market accounts, or you have even an inheritance, anyone who wants to rob you of the inheritance and the blessing that God desires for you to walk in. And I break right now every illegal soul tie, every illegal agreement that has been established, every old job that merged or went out of business, that went in bankruptcy that are impacting you, I break its agreement. I break its influence. I break its power. I decree and declare that that this will be the season when you find prophetic breakthrough, financial breakthrough. You’re going to begin to see supernatural wealth being released in your life. You’re going to begin to see things happen because of those old paths, relationships that has affected you. I break you from the past. I break you from the hurt. I break you from the trauma. I break you free. Today, this is your day of liberty. This is the day you’re being set free. This is the day you’re accelerating. This is the day I declare and decree that you should [move into] a season of breakthrough. Receive it today.
SID: Real quick before we go off the air, you told me something that God showed you about the blessings connected with Israel and the embassy. Explain.
HAKEEM: Yes. God gave me a vision in prayer concerning America and its relationship with Israel. And one of the things that God showed me that there was going to be, the embassy was going to definitely move back to Jerusalem, and I saw that transfer taking place. Once that begins to take place, we’re going to begin to see one of the greatest revivals and one of the greatest awakenings, not only for America, for the world. I believe that there is a tipping point and God is raising up millennials. He’s raising up young people. He’s raising up the young generation. There is a tidal wave of God’s Glory that’s about to be released right now. And even as I’m talking to Sid, but even those that are watching right now, you’re a millennial, you’re even the oldest season generation, get ready. There is a merging that’s coming together. There is an explosion, there is a tidal wave of God’s Glory that’s about to be released. I’m telling you, there is a prophetic breakthrough. The blessings of the Lord will make it rich and has no sorrow. I break every sorrow. I break every trauma. Get ready. This is your season where you’re about to experience the miracle Glory. Some of you have been waiting on God, but God says the wait and delay is over. I break every curse. I break every soul agreement. This is your time. Get ready for prophetic breakthrough.
NAIM: And I even will say that those that are watching, I say the son and daughter of the Lord said that this will be the season of prophetic breakthrough. The Lord says this will be the season that you’re not just going to be anointed, but the Lord said, “But my Glory is about to converge.” And you’re about to see the presence of God like you’ve never known. Get ready for there is a global awakening that’s going to start in your house and there’s going to be a supernatural current of God’s power, his thrust, his presence. You’re about to see the supernatural. Creative miracles are about to be your portion, creative miracles. You’re going to see limbs grown. You’re going to see eyes begin to grow. You’re going to see things change around about you. Get ready because God says this Glory is coming upon you, not for this age, but ages to come. Get ready and receive it now in Jesus’s mighty name.
SID: And I have got one word for you: Breakthrough!
Our Guests Adam Thompson and Adrian Beale
SID: Adrian, you touched on it a little bit in the first segment. Tell me about why we should pay attention to numbers and names, and things like that.
ADRIAN: Sid, I believe that encoded in those numbers is a key that God wants us to open. You know, it’s just like you said before, when a number repeats itself and you see it all over the place, particularly in those situations, because the Bible says “By the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established.”
SID: And you talked about even names that keep coming up. Explain that.
ADRIAN: Names are so important. They’re not just a label on a person. And normally they call the root of the name or the etymology of the name has some significance in a person’s life. And so often God will speak to you through street names, company names, trucking names, and so on. And so when those things occur, I like to dabble and go deeper to find out what the root of that name means so it can become more powerful in what God is saying to us.
SID: And Adam, I mean, since I’ve been a baby believer all these years, every time I look around I’ll see a license, and I’m not looking for it, it just happens, 777, sometimes four sevens, but usually three sevens. And even on my Israeli passport, I couldn’t believe it, I opened it up, it said “777”. I’m glad you did this book with symbols. If I had your book I’d just look it up, but I don’t have it yet. What would you say God is trying to tell me.
ADAM: It can mean, for you personally, it could mean that you’re coming into a greater level of heavenly counsel of wisdom, so, that’s what 777 can mean. But I do also believe, and recently I had a dream of the spirit of Elijah. I believe that God is calling you into that realm, Sid, where there is that spirit of Elijah. You’re going to be a part of that where it’s going to prepare the platform for the Second Coming.
SID: You know Adam, there are even small things that are signs from God. Tell me the story about the ladybug.
ADAM: There was this unusual sign of this ladybug walking up and down my left thigh. I’m driving along and I was pretty exhausted. In Australia there’s a saying, “Like a stung mullet.” So the Lord said to me, “What do you see?” And I’m looking at this ladybug, and ladybugs actually preserve fruit. They protect the fruit from aphids. And pretty much what this was, the Lord was sending me a sign that he is strengthening me with an angel. I had this revelation that God was sending me an angel. See, on the left thigh, it means, symbolically, it means physical strength. The right thigh means spiritual strength. I had to just pray in the Holy Ghost and call it in. See prayer is actually prophetic and I had to pull it in from the unseen world and agree, and he sent his angels, and strengthen me. All of a sudden, I felt completely charged. I felt like the Energizer bunny. I felt completely full of energy ready for the next meeting, because I had to go to the next meeting as soon as I came home.
SID: Now, were you asking for that or did it just happen?
ADAM: It just came from left field. It was like, it was an unusual incident. And that’s how we can discern these things. It’s something that you, it’s not something that’s common. It’s something that’s unusual that happens, and you go, I haven’t seen that for years, or it might be a rare occurring thing, and you go, that’s too much of a coincidence.
SID: Well speaking of things that are kind of out of the ordinary, even God will even use sounds on a cell phone. Adrian, explain.
ADRIAN: I was traveling to minister in two churches, one morning, very early start, 5:00 in the morning, traveling in the car. And I heard the sound that my phone, the alert that my phone makes when it gets a text. I looked into my phone and there was no text there, so I knew instinctively that perhaps God was going to speak to me. At that point in time, playing on the MP3 or the iPod in the car, playing in the car was the testimony of Smith Wigglesworth. And what it revealed was that Smith Wigglesworth had once backslidden and that he used to tease his wife Polly when she came home from her meetings, and that was something that I never heard before. It was a revelation to me. I Tweet, because I had a phone call earlier that week from the pastor of the second church I was speaking in, and she told me that her son-in-law hadn’t been to church for six months, and in some sense he was backslidden. And so I went, ah, I think God is asking me to make reference to this story of Smith Wigglesworth as I shared at the second church. And as I shared, I wove Smith Wigglesworth’s testimony to what I shared in the second church.
SID: That takes boldness to do that.
ADRIAN: Exactly right. Adam describes it like you’re walking the plank and suddenly you get to the end of the plank, and then suddenly Jesus comes and does what he does. And so as I shared, I closed the meeting with rounding out. I said, “Anybody that what I shared, if you got to come forward, I’d love to pray with you.” And there would have been at least a dozen people that came forward. I was expecting the pastor’s son-in-law to be the one who would respond. And so when the first person was a woman, quite a tall woman with long gray hair, I was shocked when she said, “I’m the one.” So I said to her, “You’re the one what?” She said, “I’m the one who wants to rededicate my life to the Lord. Let me tell you a story. I was a nun defrocked by my order and I want to rededicate my life to the Lord.” The next person I came to was a lady with all different colors in her hair: purple, green, yellow, red, and so on. She said, “I’ve just come out of a lesbian relationship. I want to dedicate my life to the Lord.” And as I went down the line through to the pastor’s son-in-law, each person was rededicating their lives to the Lord.
SID: Aren’t you glad you took that risk?
ADRIAN: Oh I’m so glad I took that risk and incorporated what I felt what God was saying into my message. Incredible what God did that night.
SID: You know, when we come back, all of us have had bad dreams. Some of us think, well it was pizza. But some is from God. So what do you do with a bad, I mean a bad, I had one, a bad dream? We’ll be right back.
Our Guest Shawn Bolz
KYNAN: Welcome back. I’m so excited to be here with Shawn Bolz. We’re talking about the secrets of God for every single believer. And before the break, Shawn, we were talking about God divulging the secrets of his heart. But I want to ask you a question and you can be honest with me. We’re the only ones here, so you can tell me the truth. Does God always give you good words about people? Are they always sweet and mushy or are they kind of hard to release sometimes?
SHAWN: I think it’s both. I have a four and a two-year-old, so like sometimes, with my daughters, good love is also saying, no, you have to do this. There is course correction. There is building. And I remember my friend Ona [sp] and I went to Puerto Rico and we were ministering in a series of churches that were set up by a manager. And one of the churches we went into, I walked in there and I was so tired because there had been like 13 services in five days. And I was so tired, and I walked in the church, and I looked at the pastor, and I told my best friend Ona that pastor is having a [affair] right there. And we got to address this. I can’t preach this until we address it. We had to clear this out because we were given, I don’t know, what would you do? It’s not my normal to go see people’s sin, but I felt like God was showing me out of a place of grace and mercy for this whole church. He wanted to recover a church. And I feel like we throw around these charismatic buzz words, like I’m going to be a gatekeeper. Well when you’re a gatekeeper you’re closing the gates of Hell, not just opening the gates of Heaven.
KYNAN: Oh that’s so good. That’s good.
SHAWN: So asked the elders, I said, I went up to the woman who was hosting us, and I said, “Can you go find out, elders, and bring the pastor in, to return during worship time.” We got there a few minutes late. And so we all went back to the office and it was just the two elders and the two accountability people, and the pastor, and Ona and I. And I looked at him and I said, “Do you want to tell them you’re not a prophetic guy in your church. Do you want to tell them what I’m seeing, or do you want to tell them what I’m seeing about this woman?” And he said, he immediately goes, “I’m having an affair. I’m so sorry.” And begins to unfold the two-year history of this and they started to minister to that and deal with that as well, and try and create a plan. And I was like, okay, we’re going to leave now, because I didn’t know what to do. I’m like, “We’re going to leave now.” They said, “No, God loves our church. He loves everybody. Please stay and minister.” And it was so hard to take the stage then, but I could feel like a Father’s love, like the Father gave me the revelation because he loved the church.
KYNAN: Wow, that’s good.
SHAWN: So I immediately stepped into that place. Even this pastor had that [unintelligible]. I had stepped in that place of love and the church is doing really well now.
KYNAN: I love the restoration God speaks to us to restore and that’s so important. Tell me about the girl in the coffee shop.
SHAWN: That’s so cool. It was just a little bit ago. I was walking. I live in Studio City and so it’s where a lot of entertainment type people are. And I went to a coffee shop there and it’s totally full of people in that time of the morning. And she already ordered, so she’s way over there and I’m over here, and I go, “Hey you, you right there.” And she goes, “Me?” And she thought maybe I knew her or something. And the whole place turns into a reality TV show. Everyone is, what’s going on? And I said, “Hey, I just heard from God and he said get the script out of the trash can.” She goes, “What?” And I said, “Get the script out of the trash can. You heard me.” And she goes, “What are you saying?” And I said, “Get the screenplay out of the trash can now. God gave that to you. Don’t throw it away.” And she’s like, “No, this can’t be happening!” She’s screaming and freaking out, and the whole place is like starts clapping. It’s like, what’s happening. She goes, “This is my last copy. I’m leaving right now. I’ve deleted everything off my hard drive. I have one more screenplay I’m about to throw in the trash can right now. That’s my last copy.” And she goes, “This can’t be. I’m leaving because nothing is open for me here.” And I said, “Well God apparently loves your screenplay and he loves your writing gift, and you’re about to give up your destiny.” And she’s weeping.
KYNAN: Wow. Shawn, how can we begin to move in words of knowledge? You said it’s for everybody. I mean, you said that it’s not just for the superstars. It’s not just for the Shawn Bolz’s and all the famous ministers. But how can we, the average person, move in words of knowledge?
SHAWN: I think it’s a love based approach. So when you look at the people, first yourself, your immediate family, your friends that you love the most, you start to ask God, what are your thoughts about them, and then you start to pay attention to those downloads. A lot of people are waiting to hear, “This is the voice of God.” But the reality is that we share the same head space with God. It says in First Corinthians 2:16 that “We have the mind of Christ,” which means that when you’re reading the Bible for a life application, a scripture comes along and you’re like that’s me. Well you’re not that smart. That came from the Holy Spirit.
KYNAN: That’s right.
SHAWN: And so learning how to hear the downloads from God and then take steps on them, I tell people you’re a wimp if you give up after ten times. It’s going to take a thousand times before you have confidence because you have to learn the process. Just like no one wants to be around someone who’s learned how to play the piano the first 25 lessons or the first three years. It’s later on when they’ve developed something that it makes sense. So like learning how to take the steps of faith in the mall, at the coffee shop with your family, with your friends, it’s the same thing when you’re going up for healing. You’re praying for everyone who has a cold around you. You pray for everything. You [tip?] toe until their healing breaks. You don’t just go, I’m going to be in a meeting. It’s going to happen. You live a lifestyle where you’re including God in that way. So with words of knowledge you have to live a lifestyle to include God and say God, I want to hear your thoughts. I want to know what you’re thinking, show me.
KYNAN: I love that. Now, love compels you to give a word to a little boy playing soccer. Tell us about that.
SHAWN: This is wild. My friend and I were sitting there. He asked if I wanted to come to his kid’s soccer game, one of his ministry friends. We’re friends as well. And so we’re sitting watching his boy play, and there’s one kid who’s the underdog who no one was paying attention to. He just was very awkward, physically at that stage of growth like boys can be. And I had a heart pump probably because I was not coordinated [unintelligible] socially couldn’t play, connect to the kids on the team. And all of a sudden I just had this inspiration. I was like praying to God, God, this kid is awesome. Like the other kids are just treating him like he’s not. So Lord, what’s something about him that you would want to show me. And so and a few minutes later, I just had this one word and it was game of tag. And I called him, and I said, “Hey, what’s your Call of Duty score?” And he goes, “How do you know I play Call of Duty?” And I go, “What’s your score?” And he tells us and it’s one of the top in the nation. That’s a little boy. And I said, “What’s this?” And it was this game of tag along. And so all the other kids are, “You can play like that, wow!” And they all wanted to play games with him and learn from him. And my friend’s son, he actually ended up going out with him and they became best friends. Like months later, they were best friends. And it ended up that he was able to lead him to the Lord based on the fact that he told him the God experience behind that. At the moment, the kid didn’t know I had a God experience. It was months later that I could explain to him like, “Hey, my dad’s friend actually saw that from God and it actually brought value to you, and this is why.” And it changed his life.
