CLARICE: Their zeal was out there! And so, sure enough, the Catholic priest comes out and he looked like Friar Tuck! He was about as round as he was tall. And he came out and he’d say, “Isn’t it wonderful?” Well, I didn’t know what “it” was but he was excited about whatever it was. And they preached and I had no idea. And suddenly it happened! The Greek and Hebrew choir started singing!

Audience: [laughing]

CLARICE: [speaking in tongues] Whoa – hoo – hoo – hoo – hoo! What is that! 

Audience: [laughing] 

CLARICE: And I mean my little spirit was saying. “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” You know like a duck that found water! And I’m sayin’ Hah! Hah! Hah! And then, sure enough, the orators were in town. “Yea! Sayeth the Lord, thy God!” I had no idea that was a prophetic word! I had no idea people were singing in tongues! I didn’t know it could be done! I’d been Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Catholic, heathen! Been all those things!

Audience: [laughing]

CLARICE: And they didn’t do that in any of the places that I’d been frequenting! So suddenly my spirit man is saying. “Hah! Oh, I found water!” So we – [laughs]

Audience: [laughing]

CLARICE: The priest gets up at the end of the day. Now listen! Listen! God wants to give you an experience! You’re wanting a doctrine. He wants to give you an invitation, not an explanation!

Am I making sense to you?

Audience: Yes! Yes!

CLARICE: So knowing that, of course, I didn’t know that at all, and we were sitting back and it went on and on, and on and on, and on and on, and on! We used to have a little rhyme that says Mary had a little lamb but he never became a sheep.

Audience: [laughter]

CLARICE: He got involved with Pentecostals and died from lack of sleep! You see? [laughs]

Audience: [laughing]

CLARICE: We didn’t know that God could move till after 12 o’clock! Oh, it was incredible! So the priest gets up about 11:30 and he say, “Isn’t it wonderful?” And I have no clue of what’s goin’ on! I’ve just heard the Greek and Hebrew choir. I’d heard the orators and then the rest of the stuff. I didn’t know what they were goin’ on. Those people never took a bathroom break! Their bladder must have been this long!

Audience: [laughter]

CLARICE: So knowing that God has – He just imparts the ability to tell stories. And where we’re dealing in the marketplace with people that are looking for gainful employment our country has been in a time of great chastening. And I don’t have to go into all that. All of you can read newspapers and know that the heathens are raging! [laughs] They’re everywhere! But when they come to these organizations that we have the opportunity to speak at, you’re wanting to encourage people that have been out of work. And so this is a story that I told them.

I said there was this man and he had this incredible wonderful job. And he was doing so incredibly wonderfully well, then suddenly the market came and he lost his job. Well, he was oppressed. He was unhappy. He moaned and groaned and he could not find gainful employment because he was so proud of himself. You know he was such a wonderful person and he kept telling his wife you know, “Well I’m worth more than that!” So two years of being worth more than that and not gaining any employment one day she explained to him. They had what we call a come to Jesus moment!

Audience: [laughs]

CLARICE: And she explained it to him! “Get a job! You know get a job!” And she said, “You know if you have to flip burgers or whatever you have to do, get out and do that!” There’s nothing sadder than faded glory where we’re thinkin’ about, “Well when I was this I did this, I did that.” Let’s face the now! Let’s face what’s goin’ on today instead of trying to, “Well these were the good old days or you know I was happy then. I’m unhappy now!” Put your happy face on! “Happy is the man or woman whose God is the Lord!” Well, John went out to get a job. He was motivated. He was motivated by this wonderful look on his wife’s face. Don’t come home without a job!

Audience: [laughter]

Sid, before my eyes, like a clear gel came down on Shane’s head, and began to come down slowly over his shoulders. And I heard these sounds. Pop, pop crack. And Shane pulled his headphones off and he said, “Vic, Dave, I’m healed. Hallelujah. [speaking in tongues].” He began to speak in tongues. And I was more mystified than anybody because the God I didn’t believe in positioned me to pray a prayer for him to answer it in front of a licensed chiropractor, who then examined Shane, and all of the bones were back in proper position, and he was completely healed.

SID: You know what that tells me? God’s love. And he loved David. He loved that man in the cell. He loved that chiropractor. They all needed to see this. And then tell me about when you’re in prison, Jesus appeared.

DAVID:: It was an amazing encounter, but I want to share this. It was the night before my sentencing, June 6th, 1990. And I was going to sentencing that next day. And I was now … I knew the Messiah now. And what happened was, I thought, “I need to pray.” There was no unction to pray. It was almost rote, religious. And I got down on one knee to pray. That’s how prideful I still was. And God brought me down on both knees. And I said, “God, I’m going to sentencing tomorrow.” And my co-defendant and the other person in the cell joined with me in prayer out of pity for my situation. And as I got down and I prayed, it was just words. There was no power in it whatsoever.

KYNAN: So much misunderstanding because we don’t – you know Jesus said – you said something powerful. “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” One of the words the Lord gave me is that the prophet is the purveyor of truth.

HAKEEM: Mmm!

NAIM: Yes.  

KYNAN: In other words, they’re harboring the truth that will make the people free!

NAIM: That’s good!

KYNAN: So that word impregnates the people.

NAIM: Yes!

KYNAN: And when they receive that word they give birth to something!

NAIM: Absolutely!

KYNAN: Mary heard a word.

NAIM: Yes!

KYNAN: And she became pregnant.  

NAIM: Yes!

KYNAN: And she gave birth to a miracle! So talk about that. I think there’s so many people out there that maybe they’re stuck. Maybe they feel stagnant. What would you say? What is one of the keys you would give to them?

NAIM: Well I would say you know you have touched a little bit on it about Daniel. That the moment Daniel fixed his heart or set his heart to pray God sent the answer. But there was warfare.

KYNAN: [laughing] Come on!

HAKEEM: There was a contention in the heavenlies to get that answer though. And I say that when you receive a prophetic word or you’re in the company of a prophet or someone speaks or declares God’s word over you, that warfare is always the prerequisite of fulfilled prophecy!

KYNAN: Mmm! Come on! I love that! 

HAKEEM: And sometimes when people go through warfare, when they go through opposition when it seems like when they say “Well I received a prophetic word.” “Somebody called me out in a meeting.” Or “I’ve had a dream from the Lord. God has been showing me something.” Or “I have certain impressions.” And when they see warfare come it looks discouraging. It looks like they want to give up! And so warfare is also a confirmation that it’s God!

KYNAN: Hold that thought! That’s awesome! When we come back we’re going to talk more about warfare [music] and the role that the prophetic plays in releasing your breakthrough in the midst of warfare! Don’t go anywhere! We’ll be right back on “Something More!” [music ends]

PAT: That’s my favorite altar call in the Bible cause you know that story is so powerful because the father was actually outrunning the village and the village was going to come to accuse the boy and “kasasa” and according to, you know, Jewish tradition. But here’s one of the things I want to do. I believe that God is about to raise up mobile Upper Rooms! People that can be used mightily! So we need two things to happen. We got to get emotionally healed and then God will use you to heal others! I want you to take a moment as we close this. God used you. He’s used you for 30 years as The Praying Medic and now traveling the world, writing books. Can God use a normal person? Can He use just a regular Joe?     

DAVE: He can and He will use anybody including you! I was an atheist for most of my life!

PAT: [Laughs]

DAVE: I didn’t believe in God! I hated Christians! I hated the Bible! Right? If God can use me, He can use you! Start by doing this. Take your sadness, your anger, your fear, your anxiety, your pain. Ask Jesus to take it away because the Bible says that He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows! He has taken our emotional trauma! Ask Jesus to take it away. Ask Him to heal the wound in your soul. Tell Him you receive His healing and continue to do that every day with every event that you come into with someone that hurts you or you get wounded. Give that to Jesus and you’re going to watch your life change in a way you never imagined!

PAT: I think God wants to do miracles right now! I think there’s people that are watching right now! And you might be in another country, in another place, maybe you’re in the Middle East. It doesn’t matter where you’re at! God wants to do a miracle for you right now! Will you pray for people right now?

DAVE: I would love to!

PAT: For physical healing, emotional healing and the orphan spirit to be broken!

DAVE: I would. So right now I am going to release the power of the Holy Spirit upon you! I command spirits of pain to leave you! I command ligaments and nerves, tendons, bones to be healed! I command all pain to leave! Lord, I ask You to bring Your glory! Put Your presence upon these people! Let them feel Your tangible presence! Let them know You! I command the orphan spirit to be broken off of you! Let the Spirit of the Father come upon you and dwell in you so that you will know His goodness for the rest of your life!

DAVE: So at that point, and now I was 46-47 years old, the Lord met me in a dream and He told me, “Look. I’m going to show you what is wrong with your patients.” So I had to learn how to receive revelation. Learn how to see visions. Learn how to understand the Lord’s ways and learn how to operate in miracles and healing. And that took a while. I prayed for hundreds and hundreds of patients in the ambulance. I was trying to be obedient. Okay, Lord. I get it.  

PAT: How did people handle that? I mean because God would give you prophetic insight into what’s even wrong with them.

DAVE: I was afraid at first because I thought uh, you know I’m in an ambulance. Somebody here is having, you know, neck pain, chest pain, back pain or you know whatever and I’m supposed to get them to the hospital. But what I found out was my fear and anxiety about praying for people in public on the job proved to be unfounded. Everyone that I asked to pray for, and I’ve asked thousands of people, I’ve only had 3 or 4 people say no. 

PAT: Really!

DAVE: Almost everybody I asked let me pray for them, even agnostics and atheists and Buddhists. When I asked them if I could pray for them they said sure, go ahead. I’ve had people say look, I don’t even believe in God! But if you think you can get me healed go ahead and pray for me! So people are really open to prayer more than we would think that they would be. And God loves healing people! He loves showing them His power! He likes revealing Himself through His presence! When I pray for people they feel His glory. They feel His presence come on them! 

PAT: Come on!

DAVE: The peace comes over them. I had this one guy I was praying for who was having a heart attack and I prayed for him. Not only did all of his chest pain go away, all of his anxiety and fear completely gone like that!    

PAT: Wow!

DAVE: So it’s a powerful thing!

I said Jesus, I know you’re looking for evangelists. And I know you’re looking for hard core evangelists. And I’d be one. And so you let me live, I’ll win another million. And He knows I’m not talking about church members. I’m not talking about people that have been saved 18 times. He knows I’m talking about Muslims. He knows I’m talking about hard core. See this man is a wanted man.

My, my name is on hit lists. I’m surprised I’m not dead because of the Muslims that get saved. And I get the emails from the Muslims. And so I’m just ready. Are you? Are you? Wherever you live on this planet, there’s only one way to heaven and that’s through the shed blood of Jesus. And you don’t join His club. You repent of your sin because He came to take away the sin of the world. You ask Him to forgive you. You kneel at the foot of the cross, and if you’ve never heard this, the cross was a wicked, rugged place where this man Jesus was pierced in His hands, His feet. Crown of thorns pressed on His head. His back looked like you ploughed it with a plough for our healing.

There’s only one way to heaven and that’s through Jesus Christ. Your God, my friend, did not die for you. Jesus died for you. By the way friends, I’m not concerned as much for the 40, 50, 60 million people that are being affected by all this goofball teachiní. Seriously, I mean we’re going after it. I’m going after the teachers. Okay? I’m concerned about the 7 billion, billion, billion, billion. A billion is a thousand million. We have 300 million in America. There’s 7 billion people. You work in India? There’s 1.3 billion people in India. I’m concerned about the lost world half who don’t have the privilege of sitting in the “It’s Supernatural” studio and then leave out and go eat a hamburger or whatever.

So I’m after them that are watching and those of you here that may be away from the Lord. Now away from the Lord you know exactly what I’m talking about. David Wilkerson used to say this to us. He’d say “if you’re not closer to Jesus today than you were yesterday, you’re backslid.” I hated that. You hear me? I hated that! Because I’d go you know I think I was closer to the Lord yesterday than I am today.

From across Asia including China, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Indonesia. From Micronesia. From Australia. From New Zealand. Guam, Hawaii. All across Africa including Angola, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Botswana. From all across Europe including U.K, one night on the email from the show, uh, this is former Soviet Union including Russia, Poland, Romania. From across South America including Brazil, Columbia, Argentina and Guiana. From Caribbean and West Indies including Trinidad, Curacao, Netherlands, Saint Martin, Antigua, Jamaica and from every single State of Canada and the United States.

AUDIENCE: Wow!

SID: God, and, and we are in the next 30-60 days our show will be in Spanish all over the Spanish-speaking world.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

SID: Well, our, our show it is in all the hotspots of the world in their language. Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, in the Farsi language. We’re on 5 days a week throughout the entire Soviet Union in Russian. But my heart’s desire is there’s got to be a new generation of Christians in the media. There has got to be those that have the fire that a Steve Hill has and are not fearful of man! And, you know, I understand how people get into these traps. But God so orchestrated my life I’m not going to get into this trap.

And, you, you know in Canada I’m up against charges because I interviewed a, a former Muslim who said Muslim youths are trained to hate Israel from infancy. They called it a hate crime. But you see we can bypass all of that. If I can get this show on every cell phone in the world! You see how it’s bypassed all these regulations. So that’s the next phase. But right now, this is going to have a double-edged Sword what Steve’s going to do. It’s going to be for you, but it’s going to be for hundreds of thousands of people. They’re going to play it for churches. They’re going to play it for house Bible Studies. I want Steve to give his best to get those people off of religion or atheism and on to Jesus. Steve Hill.

PERRY: Now you going to love this. If you haven’t whooped and hollered, shouted, run, keep your shoes off, you’re about to, okay?

AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)

 PERRY: Because this, this, this is really amazing! In the universe is a constellation called the Pleiades. The Pleiades has one star and the Arabs and early Jews said it was the center of the universe. One star. A bright star! Remember Jesus [name is also] “The Bright and Morning Star.” Singular, a star. But that bright star is surrounded by 7 stars called “The Seven Sisters.” The word “church” in Greek is “ecclesia” and it’s feminine, and not masculine. Now that’s interesting because in His hand is 7 stars representing the pastors and the churches, you know the candlesticks and the churches, pastors. But here’s where it really gets more interesting. The Pleiades in the heavens is in the neck of a constellation called “Taurus the Bull.” An ox was an offering for the High Priest.

AUDIENCE: Oh, Wow.

PERRY: Now wait a minute. “Taurus the Bull.” The 7 churches of Asia if you ever want to know where they’re located, it’s real simple they were located in Turkey, which was that time called Asia Minor. Everybody ready? At the base of the “Taurus Mountains!”

AUDIENCE: Wow! Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho! Wow! Wow!

PERRY: Yeah, “WOW!” There it is. That’s a good, that’s where the “WOW” goes right there! You did it right! So in other words we don’t understand that today because we don’t ever study any of that. Back in that day the Greeks and the Romans they knew every star and, and, and they got into corruption, don’t get me wrong, the corruption and the idol gods and the false gods, and Hercules and all. They get into all that. That’s wrong. But here’s the point. Jesus used an imagery, okay, in the, in the neck of “Taurus the Bull” are seven stars and seven sisters. I have in my hand seven stars with seven churches that are located at the base of the Taurus Mountains in Turkey. Okay?

AUDIENCE: Wow! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! (CLAPPING)

First of all you’ll never go wrong in the interpretation if you know the Old Testament. Because did you know the Book of Revelation uses references to the Old Testament hundreds of times! And this is why I tell people, these people that say “Well the Book of Revelation is an allegory.” I say so you’re telling me every Old Testament verse quoted is an allegory?

“Well, no.” Okay, if it’s not an allegory in the Old Testament, you take it literal that the sun’s going to be dark, the moon’s going to turn to blood, you take it literal the earth’s going to shake but then you going to tell me that when you take the same prophetic word spoken by the prophet of the Old Testament and you put it in the New you going to shift it to an allegory because you don’t like what it says!

Okay? Can’t do that, can’t do that. If it’s literal in the Old, it’s literal in the New. Now what I want to do here, I want to show you something that I, that I, that I discovered that I thought was very intriguing. If you take, for example, the prophet Ezekiel, and you read what happened to him at the time when the Babylonians came in and destroyed Jerusalem, Israel and took the Jewish people captive, and then go to the Book of Revelation, let me show you something that’s extremely interesting.

Most people don’t know this, but John, the Apostle John was linked according to early fathers, to the priesthood in Jerusalem. They [people] don’t know that, in fact let me saying something about the Book. John wrote this Book from a, from a perspective of a man that understood the priesthood in Jerusalem. There are all sorts of scriptures in the Book of Revelation that you would have had to known how the Temple was set up and you would have had to have known Judaism a little bit to understand what he’s writing.
