Sid: What happened next Bill?
Bill: Well, Sid it was just like a cloud came into that bus of God’s glory. In fact I felt in the bus as I’m standing now in the middle of the bus watching this whole scene. People just listening to this lady sing softly in another language. I felt exactly what I’d felt in the service and interestingly enough Katherine Kuhlman had said “What’s happening here should be happening everywhere; should be happening in every ministry; should be happening in every church.” And that really I didn’t think sunk in but while I’m standing there you know just thinking this is the atmosphere that I felt earlier that day in the service. And God spoke to me gave me I would call it a word of knowledge now but I just knew that God just spoke to me about somebody being healed and was very specific what was happening to this person.
Sid: Had you every hear something like that before?
Bill: Never and so…
Sid: And so you knew exactly the condition.
Bill: Exactly the problem I had was “What do I do with this?” Like when to me when God gives you a word of knowledge it doesn’t take any faith you just know it; I knew that immediately as real as I know that I’m talking to you on the telephone today. So it wasn’t a matter of well, what if this isn’t or what if it’s not happening. But I didn’t know what to do; I thought “If I go to the front and take the microphone and just speak out this word of knowledge they’re going to say “Your acting like Kathryn Kuhlman because these people loved her of course and I thought they’ll get mad at me and they’ll throw me off the bus we’re going down the highway really fast I’ll die and I’m not a brave man. So I’m walking slowly to the front of the bus saying “What do I do?” It’s one thing to know what God’s doing and it’s another thing to try to figure out what you do with this. And as I’m walking up a lady grabbed my arm and she said “My friends just been healed.” And I said “What of?” And she told me exactly what God had told me; so I didn’t have to do anything other than go to the microphone and say “This lady has just been healed.” And the lady came up and she started sharing what had happened and partway through her testimony the power of God hit her and nobody was near her. I didn’t pray for her; nobody was near her or behind her she went flat on her back right down on the aisle and it’s like snowy, rainy, slushy, mushy and there she is and we’re just standing. I’m standing there saying “Wow,”
Sid: The same Spirit that was in the Kathryn Kuhlman service followed you in that bus.
Bill: And nobody was doing anything; you know I just… I didn’t want to be distracted I just thought “I’ve got to pursue Holy Spirit I’ve got to know Him.” And as this woman hit the floor another person called out “I’ve just been healed.” Well they came up and they testified and the same thing happened to them. It was probably about the fourth person who really got very dirty by falling on the aisle. We had someone stand them and say “Why don’t you help these people?” And in the mist of all of this we heard a scream and we looked and the little four year old Greek Orthodox girl who the doctor said “Would never be able to walk” was running up the aisle. Well the bus driver had challenged me with that earlier “If God really healed people why didn’t He heal the little girl?” My response then was “I don’t know.” But I looked down at the bus driver beside me and he’s driving down the highway we’re going fairly quickly and he’s not looking at the highway he’s looking at the big mirror above him and he’s shaking out of control; he’s got rivers coming out of his eyes. And somebody said “You know “How long did you pray for this ministry?” I never prayed for the ministry to start but I started praying that moment; and my prayer Sid was “God if you know how to drive a bus; please.” Because I thought you know this guy is not looking at the road, he’s…
Sid: (Laughing)
Bill: And we’re going to off and crash. Well the bottom line there is God must know how to drive a bus but we were fine. That bus driver said to me after the trip, “I will never be the same again.” Just a few months ago I got an email from a young man I’ve never met he said “I want you to know what happened on that bus in 1972 is still happening. My dad was the bus driver, I’m now a leader in a Pentecostal denomination in western Canada and in every meeting we have in all of our groups we pray for the sick and the sick are getting healed.
Sid: Bill there is such a presence of the Holy Spirit’s that I’m going to ask you to pray right now because I am hearing someone’s spine has just been healed in Jesus Name.
Bill: And actually there is somebody the doctors have told you that your spine was deteriorated and there was nothing that could be done; that’s what the doctor said “There was absolutely nothing that could be done.” I see bones coming together right now from top to bottom of the spine. I see a spine straightening right now; I see a pinched nerve being released. God is healing spines, there’s an anointing for backs right now. There’s a disc that has been out of place because of an accident; that disc is literally moving into place. And right now somebody’s hip is being healed, doctors have talked to you about a hip replacement and you feel you feel the bones moving literally moving in the hip. I want you right now to stand up and to start walking on that hip that you couldn’t put your weight on God’s healing right now. Sid there is there’s a healing wave going through this radio ministry right now.
Sid: I mean it got so strong I mean it was more tangible at that moment when I said it than when I ever remember. I mean and you know when I find I don’t know if you’ve seen the same thing Bill but once one person gets healed of anything anyone could be healed of anything.
Bill: Yeah, exactly exactly. And God’s will is that everybody be healed.
Sid: Now it is one thing for anyone to say that because they’ve read it in the Bible, but you’re an individual that right after that bus meeting you found out where ever you minister miracles took place to the point where you literally… what’s the largest meeting you’ve held for miracles?
Bill: Oh my goodness, well we’ve obviously had meetings with thousands of people; we’ve ministered in India, we’ve ministered across Canada. And you know we have thousands of people come but you know what we also minister… our mission field is the Arctic Circle and above.
Sid: Yeah, I’ve read that and I am fascinated by some of the statistics that you’ve mentioned. For instance sexual abuse among these people in that area 1 in 2 girls are molested by 18; 1 in 3 boys are molested by 18, the suicide rate, the alcohol among the Indians they’re called Inuit. And you’re having an impact on them.
Bill: We have seen in Arctic Canada a revival; we’ve seen entire communities absolutely changed. There’s a brand new equivalent to a state it’s called Nunavut it’s our newest Providence or territory. Nunavut means our land; it’s governed totally be Inuit; almost all of the leaders are born again spirit filled people. I can take you to all…
Sid: But when you started going there what was it like?
Bill: You couldn’t find one Christian; it was so black so tough; so desperate and the fact is it’s so far it’s so expensive. For me to go to Arctic Canada cost’s me more than to go any other part of the world; and we started going 30 years ago; just over 30 years ago and we’ve seen real revival there. But this past almost 10 years now we’ve been ministering in Arctic Russia with unreached groups of Eskimos. And you talk about you know about size of meetings; four years ago we had an entire service our whole team in Arctic Russia for one man. We found one man living in a tent with his reindeers out in the middle of literally nowhere at the very top of Russia, never heard the name of Jesus; never heard the gospel and it may have been the smallest meeting in history but Sid it was the greatest meeting because 100% of the crowd got saved that day. He totally got transformed by the power of God.
Sid: And by the way most people aren’t aware of how cold it is in the Arctic, how cold is it?
Bill: I just got back from Arctic Russia we just did a major humanitarian effort to one of the remote regions and it averaged around 50 below zero.
Sid: My goodness I can’t even comprehend that. Bill we’re out of time today however your book we’ve been offering “Six Key’s to Breakthrough and Healing” your heart is that everyone walk in this miracle anointing. I believe that there’s an anointing on this book for an individual to get healed; I mean to accomplish exactly what you state in the title “Six Keys to Breakthrough in Healing.” But your heart isn’t just for them, your heart is for them then to take the gospel to others.
Bill: Exactly and the reason we wrote this book is that’s there’s a lot of people praying for the sick and then not seeing the sick healed. These keys help them see breakthroughs in people they minister to because God does want everybody healed. This book has been phenomenal as far as helping people breakthrough and healing.
Sid: Have you had reports of people that have just read the book and been healed?
Bill: Yes, and it just… you know several of the keys that people haven’t really thought about can…
Sid: Listen I have thought about all these keys but the way it’s expressed with the anointing it had a breakthrough in my revelation of it. Look we’re out of time Mishpochah but we’re running out of time on planet Earth, you realize that there’s a ministry for you and God wants you healed.
