Sid: I was talking to Zona Hayes-Morrow yesterday this is Norvel Hayes daughter and she had a problem her husband wrote her a Dear John letter when he was in the military and divorced her. And a great miracle happened they got remarried and they relocating cities, but all of a sudden she’s got a chemical imbalance she’s got really low potassium and she couldn’t even walk and then they went into the Dairy Queen and he literally had to carry her in. So she got into a bed and he went out looking for… I don’t know what he’s looking for work or another apartment, and he left you alone and what did you do he left you alone and here you are a great woman of faith and you can’t even move.
Zona: After we went to Kingston we found an apartment the next day we were going to go water skiing. That morning Bobby got up and he told me that he was going to get the boat ready. I said “I’m going to stay here and he said “I want you to go with me I’ll carry you.” And I said “No, I’m going to stay here.” So everybody in the household left and I made them leave because I didn’t want anybody staying with me; and while I was laying in the bed I said “Okay devil you’re a liar I’m going to walk by the end of this day, I’m going to walk in Jesus’ Name, my arms are going to move in the Name of Jesus.” And I was still in the bed but my arms gained a little more strength and I decided to make my body work so I rolled out of bed and fell flat on the floor and it really hurt. I didn’t break any bones but I just knew that if I could get my leg around the leg of the dresser and get my foot around the leg of the bed I knew I could stretch my arms and pull myself up. So the exercise by stretching out my arm and pulling myself back up and I might have done that 30 times before my arms got some strength back in it. But I did the other arm about 30 times and I got strength back in it and kept confessing but I wasn’t stupid enough to think the potassium was going to come back in my natural body. I found a banana and I found a cardboard box of orange juice which has potassium in it. So I ate that banana and I got enough strength to feed myself the banana and drink that orange juice that was on that counter and my legs still didn’t work but the potassium enough to get into my arms and I had enough strength in my arms that I could pull myself into the kitchen. So I grabbed the handle on the bottom drawer in the kitchen and with my right hand I pulled myself up and then I used my left arm and pushed. And after that I was able to take my right arm and place it on the counter and I could try to let go and I’d fall flat on the floor; at least 6 or 7 times I fell flat on the floor over and over.
Sid: Wait a second, why didn’t you just stop, why didn’t you I mean why did you persist like that?
Zona: Because I wasn’t going to let my body rule me; I have authority over anything that’s not victory. My legs weren’t working and that wasn’t victory. And so I’m the type of person that I don’t never give up ever. I don’t count myself a failure in anything; I don’t let failure come into my vocabulary on anything that I’ve ever pursued in my whole life.
Sid: Okay, so your operating in this stubborn faith and what happens?
Zona: Well, I did that whole routine by faith like speaking the word and stubborn determination. All day long I did it; I didn’t stop and this was like I started 10:00 in the morning all day long and so by 5:00 when Bobby came in the house I was in the living-room chair and I looked at him and I said “Bobby, look.” And then I walked to him and he just broke and he began to weep. And he said “You’ll never quit will you.” And I said “Nope the devil is not going to win in my life, I will not let the devil win;” and because of taking authority over the enemies strategy Sid and using the weapon of the word and combining with natural banana and orange juice I started walking against all odds. So it was time to climb the mountain and receive all that He had for me and there’s power in talking a step of faith and not giving up. So because of taking authority over that and using the weapon of the word and building myself up even if I fell building myself up with the word and also with the naturally replenishing my body with any type of like banana, drinking orange juice.
Sid: Okay, that begs a question. When I hear these great like John G. Lake I never could picture him going to a doctor. I mean he had such great faith that he would put a disease germ that everyone that was dying from on his hand and he’d say “Doctor look at this” and he’d have a doctor look at it under a microscope and the disease germ would die. I mean but I know that you sometimes used doctors, you sometimes you even had kidney failure and you went into dialysis and with this great faith that you have, this stubborn faith, why would you resort to a doctor, why would you resort to medicine?
Zona: Well, the Bible tells us to be single minded and diligent in our walk with the Lord and that means we go forward and stay focused on our goal to fulfill out call in our life. So this is the thing the devil attacks when you are hungry, angry, lonely and tired every human on earth; nobody is exempt from the devil’s attack because we are the object of his devouring.
Sid: You know I had a friend that understood faith, and he had cancer and he was so convinced me that he was going to be healed and he died. But I noticed one key thing he got tired.
Zona: Exactly but the thing is this is the way, you know the devil told me this the last time the last bout when he tried to kill me again. He said “I’m going to kill you. You’re the closes thing I can get to Norvel Hayes.” And I said “Well, you’re not killing me, I bind you I have authority over you; you are not killing me and don’t ever appear to me again in Jesus Name go and never appear to me again.” And the thing is my dad calls it stubborn faith when you find a promise of God and you hold on to it no matter what happens. And I’m just saying Sid, the devil meant… what he meant for harm God turned around for good. You know yeah, I went on dialysis, yeah I had a transplant and yes the devil tried to just make me feel like I was worthless, make me fell like I couldn’t speak faith. Like I couldn’t …but let me tell you something the Lord spoke to me and He said it takes a lot more faith to carry someone else’s kidney and preach faith than to take a creative miracle and take advantage of it and then they abuse their today. They think that they can live and be and do exactly what they want to do… nobody you have to always be accountable for what you put in your body that is not health because we live in a physical body.
Sid: And you told me that before we went on the air that many good Christians die because God has a plan for them through medicine and they think that they don’t have faith if they don’t use the medicine.
Zona: When I went in for this last transplant I had so many well-known people call me and prophesied to me right before I went in. Well, the devil kept saying “I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you.” And I would say “I know what I know that I’m going to live, I’m going to live a long life because you’re trying to work so hard to kill me, you’re the father of lies. So if you say you’re are going to kill me that means I’m going to live,” and you know what it doesn’t matter it wasn’t until I was 38 that I finally sold out to God even though I was ministering. Ever since I was diligent to walk by faith the Lord said to me He said “This is not between me and you and your daddy, this is not between me and you and anybody no speaker not anybody is going to get credit for your miracle. He said “You make the right decisions you live, you make the wrong decisions you come home early.” To carry the mantle of this ministry you have to look to Me, you can’t look to anybody else because it takes more faith to go with what you’ve gone through and I’ve met you I meet every human on earth where their faith is. Just because they take a blood pressure medicine; just because they have to check their sugar 2 or 3 times a day; just because they have to be on a low salt diet that doesn’t mean that they don’t have faith. That’s where the devil sold them a bill of goods; you know people may admire consistency but if we do the same old thing every day we’re going to get the same results. So I made a decision that I was going to overcome the physical problems that I was going through and no matter what happened I set my goal on God’s best no matter what for. So I had to change and do what I have not done before.
Sid: We’re out of time unfortunately right now.
