SID: Now Alice Cresswell has what the world would call, outrageous faith. Now when you pray for someone and they’re not healed, what goes on inside of you?
ALISS: It rarely happens. If someone is not healed, I will pray again. I will say, “Well it’s got to go. Let’s pray again.” So sometimes it takes two or three times, but it’s got to go.
SID: That is, although the world would call that outrageous faith, I call that normal faith. Speaking of normal faith, tell me about the man that, these gifts operate not just in her shops, they operate wherever she is. Tell me about the man with the hearing aids.
ALISS: Okay. Well that’s a great. I love that story.
SID: You like every story.
ALISS: I do, actually. They’re all amazing. God’s amazing, isn’t He. But I was in the supermarket one day and this lady was walking towards me, first of all, with, she had a, she had broken her foot.
SID: By the way, can anyone do what you’re doing as a believer.
ALISS: Oh yeah. If I can do, anybody else can do it. We all have the same Holy Spirit living in us that raised Jesus from the dead. So yeah, we just got use that power that we have through Jesus.
SID: Have you taught people to do everything you can do?
ALISS: Yeah. There’s many people that they want to see miracles and I would just teach them how to do it, and then they’re doing it. I mean, it took, me 12 years of praying. But now what you find is you get a breakthrough for other people, too. So others, I just teach them and they start doing it, and the miracles happen for them.
SID: Okay. Take me back to the store.
ALISS: Yeah. So I’m in the supermarket. There’s this lady, she obviously needs healing. So I approach her. I feel, I hope nobody is watching me. And I said to her, “Can I pray for your foot and Jesus will heal it.” And she’s like, “Oh, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go.” And she just races off, like tries to hobble down the supermarket aisle with all the groceries everywhere. So and I’m just feeling a bit rejected when this elderly gentleman comes up to me, and he said, “Excuse me,” he said, “I love your hair.” And I thought, isn’t God good. You know, He sent somebody, you know, to try and cheer me up. And I was like, “Thank you so much.” And then I noticed he had hearing aids in both of his ears. So I said, “Can I pray for your ears and Jesus will heal them.” Well he was so deaf he couldn’t hear a word I was saying with his hearing aids turned up full. So I thought, right, I’m going to go for it. So I went like that with my hands on his ears, and I said, “In the name of Jesus, ears open.” And he said to me, “What’s going on?” He pulls out the hearing aids and he realizes he can every single word that I’m saying. And then I notice he’s got a walking stick. So he tells me he’s got muscle [unintelligible]. He hasn’t got many muscles in his legs. So I said, “Put your hand on your leg where the problem is.” So he kind of puts his hand there. Then I put my hand on top. And imagine we’re in the supermarket. I’ve got my hand on this guy’s leg. We’re standing there, you know, and then who should come around the corner, but his wife.
SID: Oh no.
ALISS: “What’s going on here?” she says. And I’m like, I said, “Oh, I’m a Christian minister,” trying to look like a Christian minister, not doing a very good job of it. “No, no, no, it’s fine.” So I just grabbed his stick and I said, “Walk in the name of Jesus.” So he starts like tentatively walking and he gets faster, and he’s like jogging up and down. And then his wife realizes he can hear every word that she’s saying. So they’re crying, they’re hugging. I’m joining in. We’re crying and hugging in the middle of the supermarket. And I said, “You know, Jesus makes it happen.” “We do actually know Jesus, but we didn’t know he heals today.”
SID: Speaking of healing, you told me about those healing angels that are here.
ALISS: Yes.
SID: I want you to speak what they’re showing you to speak right now.
ALISS: Well there’s somebody watching us right now and I believe that there’s somebody with multiple sclerosis. You know we mentioned that already. But the person with multiple sclerosis, I believe God is healing you right now. I really have a sense of the presence of God.
SID: Me, too.
ALISS: In this place. Real strong anointing healing right now. So we just release that healing anointing. And just, you know, I speak to the person with multiple sclerosis, but also anybody who has any kind of illness or infirmity, anything wrong with you, just put your hand now on the part of your body that you’d like healing. If it’s all over you, just put your hand on your head. And we just pray, actually release that now. In the name of Jesus, I speak to every infirmity. I speak to multiple sclerosis and I command it to go now in the name of Jesus. Everybody be healed now. Receive that into your body because it’s from Jesus. Just let him touch you and receive it by faith And then just start to test out what is going on in your body. Try and do something that you couldn’t do before.
SID: Studio audience, you do that. You at home, you think I don’t see you. Have I got a surprise. No. But come on, do something. Shake it off. Shake that spirit off. Stand up. Jump. Do whatever it takes. Give me one quick key that you’ve learned over the years to be healed.
ALISS: Oh wow.
SID: I know that’s hard with just one thing. Give me one.
ALISS: A major one is your life is not your own. Once you decide to follow Jesus, you’ve been crucified with Christ. You just got to just do whatever it takes and do not give up. I guess that’s two keys, isn’t it. But do not give up. Just keep contending for what God has put in your heart, and just do it and believe in Him.
SID: Was there a point in the 12 years that were contending that you almost gave up?
ALISS: A few times, I just thought, I would be crying and I would just say, I can’t do this anymore. But then I’d think—
SID: Especially when you pray for someone that dies.
ALISS: Oh, it’s tough. You know, and I would see people were grieving and I had some awful times that I just, and people say, well don’t raise people’s hopes up, they might get disappointed. But I thought, no, I’m going to do what the Bible says, what God has called me to do and what He’s called us to do. He said for us all to go and raise the dead and cast out demons, and heal the sick. So I just, I would just keeping going, and I just said, I know one day it’s going to happen, and one day it did.
SID: Okay. What’s the lesson for you? Don’t you dare give up. Just before, see, the reason the devil is hitting you and hammering you, and things aren’t happening, is because you’re about ready to have the biggest release, the biggest explosion of God’s spirit in history. So I mean, the devil has overplayed his hand with you. If you are one of the few people that do not know Jesus, get right with God right now. You just tell God you’re sorry for all the mistakes. You believe that His blood washes them away. You’re clean and Jesus come inside, be my Lord, use your words. He’ll understand your heart and just open yourself up to the love of God. It’s about time. He’s been waiting.
ALISS: If you want an impartation, just raise your hands, just close your eyes. Look to Jesus. Father, let your angels just wander around and touch those. I release that impartation. It’s warm and healing.
