Our Guest Jodie Hughes

SID ROTH: Lazarus in the Bible literally died and Jesus waited a few days to get there. So they said he stank, but he came back to life. So you …

JODIE: That gave me hope.

SID ROTH: You said, “God, you’re the God of….

JODIE: I did say that and it gave me hope because I was like, his circumstances were beyond hope, and so it gave me hope that my circumstances were not beyond the hope of Jesus. But I was feeling terrible in that moment and I knew, I knew in myself, “God, this is desperate. I need a miracle now.” I said to my husband, “we need people to pray. We need people to stand with us.”

I am a fighter. I’m naturally a fighter, but even in myself, I was like, “I need some people to stand with me right now.” Ben put out an online prayer call and within an hour, there were thousands praying. It was incredible. I knew God was raising up an army for us in that moment. I started to feel hope arise. I started to feel a shift in the atmosphere. That’s the only way I can describe it. Lying in my bed, unable to move, and the atmosphere started to feel electric. I can feel that even right now, as I’m saying it.

SID ROTH: I have found that when people share when God has touched them in a profound way, the same presence comes right out on the audience or those watching by TV. And you’re the audience too.

JODIE: Yeah. Well, there was an electricity, and in that moment, I received a word from a dear friend of ours, Isaiah 43. But there was one verse in that where it says you walk through the fire, but you won’t be burned. He didn’t know that one of the things that was going on in my body was that I’d had an allergic reaction again and my insides felt like they were on fire. As soon as I received that word, faith landed in my heart and within a moment, the fire sensation that I had in my body lift, and then faith started to rise even higher. I was like, “God, you’re doing something. Things are shifting, I decree that you’re the God of Lazarus still.” I noticed that I could start to move around a little bit, but all of a sudden, Sid, all of a sudden, as I was lying in my bed, I looked over in the corner of my hospital room and I saw an angel drop into the hospital room.

My eyes were open. It was like the angel was superimposed over the natural, but I wasn’t asleep. I was awake and I could see this angel standing there, and in a moment, I just became emotional. I was like, “God, you remembered me. God, you remembered me.” Even in Isaiah 43, it says, “You’ve called me by name,” and I kept crying out, and I was like, “God, you’ve opened up the books in heaven. I know you’re reading my promises right now.” I’m looking at this angel and I could see very clearly, this angel had a clipboard and a pen. As you know, in supernatural encounters, they’re supernatural, because I somehow knew on this clipboard was all my promises, that God had opened them up and he’d sent an angel from the very throne room—

SID ROTH: To let you know he was reading.
