Sid: Hello, Sid Roth here with Bruce Van Natta. Bruce, you almost were guillotined in half when a truck smashed over you. You really shouldn’t have lived. You should’ve bled to death, medically speaking. They had to cut your small intestine. Eventually it got down to under 100 centimeters, which, medically speaking, means he would starve to death. He was a dead man. But a man heard God’s voice, and flew to Bruce, and prayed for him. Then what happened?
Bruce: As he was praying and saying “Lord, I pray that you answer all those prayers today”, I started feeling what I can describe as electricity come out of his palm, into my forehead. Then, as Jesus spoke to the mountain, he said “Small intestine, in the name of Jesus, I command you to grow supernaturally in length.” As soon as he said that, it felt like a snake came uncoiled inside my stomach. I turned to the man he was with and said “Man, it felt like a snake came uncoiled inside my stomach.”
Sid: How did they find out?
Bruce: In preparation for operation number 5 a few month later, I had to go into the radiology department and have an upper G.I. They made me drink this nasty stuff, and they measured it from the bottom of my esophagus, checking my small intestine. She gets done with it and I hear here going “Hmm.” They said the procedure was going to take a certain amount of time. After that time, she leaves then comes back with a supervisor. They redo the test and I hear them whispering and saying “mistake.” That’s the last thing you want to hear a doctor say is “mistake.” So finally I asked, and he said “No, it’s good. In your records, it shows you have less than 100 centimeters of small intestine, but we’ve just done the test twice and you have way over 200 centimeters. You have over 6 feet.”
Sid: How’d they explain that? Was it a bad doctor?
Bruce: Well, considering the doctor is the head of the biggest trauma center in our state, and he’s chief resident surgeon, I don’t think it’s a bad doctor.
Sid: You have those records inside there. What could a skeptic say?
Is it possible for the small intestine to grow that much?
Bruce: It does not grow. Once you’re an adult, your small intestine does not grow. And we’ve got doctor proof: “before” and “after” lengths.
Sid: You know what excites me so much? Remember gifts of the Spirit that God has given Bruce? They are transferable. Everyone who knows the Messiah has these gifts. Bruce put together his entire documented story, plus a workbook on the most important thing next to being born from above, and that is hearing God’s voice so that you can be obedient, so you can fulfill your destiny in life. You told me that you had a vision of your new book, called “Saved By Angels.” What was happening in that vision?
Bruce: It was actually right before the book came out. My contact at the publisher, we were talking one day on the phone, and she was telling me about your show. She said “Sid Roth…” I was asking ways to market the book to get the message out, because I think it’s a really important message that people get to have a relationship with Jesus. Not religion, but relationship, and how different that is. So we’re talking about that, and I’m excited and want to get this message to as many people as I can. She said “I think a great place would be Sid Roth’s ministry.” I hadn’t heard your name, so I wrote it down. She continues, then it turns into a word. She says “God is saying that He’s going to take care of it”, because I said “How do I get a hold of him? What do I do to get on his show?” She ends by saying “I think God is just saying that He’s going to take care of this.” Fast forward a couple of months. This man calls me to have some air conditioning work done on his vehicle. I hadn’t talked to him since before my accident. I said “I don’t do that work anymore, because I’ve gone into full time ministry now.” He said “Oh, you know what? I just remembered, a couple of weeks ago at my home church” (he’s from another town) “some old family friends of my wife and I, Chuck and Mary Volm, came to visit. I was telling them your story about the angels and how you’re the only person who’s ever lived from this injury, and Chuck said ‘Oh, that’s exactly what our ministry specializes in. It’s Sid Roth’s ministry.’” He had never heard of you either, because we’re kind of isolated in the midwest, so he said to me “I’ll get you his number.” So he hangs up, calls back, gives me Chuck’s number who got me through to Joyce, and that’s how I got on the show. God gave me a word from this contact to get on this show. After I call her back, we had a great talk and I told her what happened. I get off the phone and praise the Lord. Now the book is being printed at the printer. As I’m praying and praising the Lord,
I see a vision of the books coming off the printing press, and every book is being touched by the Holy Spirit and physically anointed.
Sid: I have to tell you, when I read this book, I felt the presence of God. That’s what got me so excited about meeting you and interviewing you. Tell me this vision again. What was Jesus doing?
Bruce: It was the Holy Spirit in my vision. As each book was coming off the printing press, it was being touched and there was a physical anointing being put on the book so that when people got it in their hands, they wouldn’t want to put it down. Many people have said once they pick up the book, they don’t want to quit reading it. It just gets them and they get into it. People have said they go to work at night and end up staying up so they can finish the book.
Sid: You know why? Because someone can learn how God speaks.
God speaks to everyone, but we miss it so much. Tell me about words of knowledge.
Bruce: A great example I use in the book is this. We’ve got this little red guy on one shoulder, and we’ve also got the old cartoon angel on the other shoulder. In the middle is us. The Bible tells us that’s spiritual life. We’ve got angels and demons around us. A word of knowledge is listening to the right voice. It’s listening to the Holy Spirit speak inside you. An example. The day I flew here, yesterday, in the morning I got a call from a man in a hospital. He’d been in the hospital for a month, and he wanted some prayer. As I’m on the phone with him, the Lord said “Tell him you’ll call back in 15 minutes.” So I got his phone number and hung up. I said “Ok Lord, now what?” I started praying and going before Him. He led me to some verses.
Now I did not have these verse memorized, didn’t even know they were there.
The Lord led me to Psalm 41 or 42. At the beginning it says “He who has regard for the weak will be taken care of”, or along those lines. I’m paraphrasing, because I don’t know the exact words. Then it goes on to say “He will be sustained on his sickbed and recovered from his illness.” So the Lord tells me “Call him back and ask him if he has regard for the weak. He does, but just ask him the question to build his faith.” So I call the man back and said “The Lord is asking “Do you have regard for the weak?’” He said “In my ministry, if someone needs a couch, I’ll give them my couch out of my house. I’ve given my refrigerator away. I’ve given cars away. I’ve given money away, till I have nothing. I’ve given my own food away.” I said “So you think you have regard for the weak?” and he said “Oh yes”, and he starts to weep. I said “The Lord said you do. Open your Bible to such and such.” He opens up the Bible and we get to the point. Now he’s been in the hospital for a month, and the Lord says He’s going to sustain you, and He’s going to restore you. Not only is He going to sustain you through this long-term illness, but He’s going to restore you as well.
Sid: You had a series of dreams in which your wife was being unfaithful to you. How many dreams did you have like that?
Bruce: It was over 10 years, so I don’t know exactly, but probably over 300.
Sid: Ok. He has these dreams, and he knows his wife is faithful, but they’re so real he doesn’t know what to do with it. Because of time, God gave you an interpretation of the dream. Very quickly, what was it?
Bruce: The last dream I had, I repeat to my wife in this dream, as I wake up, she’s laying there sleeping next to me on the bed, and I repeat to her, why don’t you understand how much I love you, which was the last thing I said in my dream, and the Lord speaks to me and says why don’t you understand how much I love you? I said I don’t understand. What do you mean Lord? We went back and forth a couple of times, and again He says it, so it ends up
he said “Bruce, every time you do drugs, drink, anything that you do, go after money, motorcycle racing, anything I was involved in to get peace, joy, security, fulfill the hole that’s in my heart, he said anytime you do any of that stuff you’re cheating on me. Not only are you cheating on me, you’re doing it in full sight of me, because ever since I was little since I was hugged, God has been as real to me as my hands, so I knew God, every time I did this stuff, God didn’t want me to do it, and I was for a long time I was walking one foot in the world and one foot in God’s world.
Sid: And God still loved you. But let me tell you, God is too good. Stop the drugs. Stop the pornography. Stop the adultery. Stop anything that is filling that void, and fill it with God. Fill it with Jesus. He’s real. He loves you. He’s calling you.
He wants to hug you.
