SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest is a leading cardiologist and then it changes. Do you know in the operating room he prays in supernatural languages? Do you know in the operating room he prays for the dead and they come back? Do you know that in the operating room God tells him what to do and saves people’s lives? That’s my kind of doctor. Dr. Crandall, you work for three hospitals, but there was a very profound moment in your life. You’re 19, you’re an intern and someone you know dies. What affect did it have on you?
DR. CRANDALL: Well you know, Sid, this was first time that I really witnessed death. And as a young man I entered that autopsy room and there was this gentleman that I had known for many months that was dead on the table. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. His whole insides were emptied. In fact, and what happened was, Sid, that it made me think that there is something else to life, that life with all its order and complexity doesn’t just end when we die. Something must move on ahead. And it was the first time that I really ever thought about God and Heaven.
SID: Now you heard the audible voice of God to tell you to be praying for your patients. Tell me exactly what happened.
DR. CRANDALL: Well you know, this was, one day I was walking down the hospital ward on the basement. And I had been praying for people, but it seemed like many of the people weren’t receptive, and I was concerned. So I cried out to God for three months for an answer to prayer, “Lord, send me the people group you want me to pray for.” And what I did that morning, I pressed the elevator button to go up. I prayed that prayer again, “Lord, send me your people group that I can pray for that are receptive.” And I heard the voice of God, and the voice of God said this, “Your people are your patients Dr. Crandall. I’ve sent them to you and I haven’t sent them to anyone else. And he also, the Lord also said, “If you don’t pray to bring them into the Kingdom of God no one else will.” And it changed my life. Now I knew that I could pray for my patients and for the sick on the hospital wards, and it would be covered by Almighty God.
SID: You know, I would think in the culture we’re in now that it would last like ten seconds and you would be kicked out.
DR. CRANDALL: Well you know, I went undercover in the beginning, to tell you the truth. And, but as I started to pray, Sid, I saw miracles.
SID: Tell me about one of your first ones — Earl.
DR. CRANDALL: Well Earl was a heart transplant patient. He had been on the waiting list for months and months. He was in ICU. There was no way we could get him a heart and he was dying before our eyes. But I read in my Bible, Sid, that we could pray for the sick in the name of Jesus and that they could recover. I had never prayed for anyone like that before. And I walked into that room with Earl, who was depressed and was down and out, and in fact who was dying, and I said, “Earl, in my Bible it says that we can pray for the sick and they can be healed in Jesus’ name. I will pray for you.”
SID: Excuse me. Were you trembling a little bit on the inside?
DR. CRANDALL: Yes, I was. I was nervous. I had never prayed for anyone like that. I had never stepped out and prayed for someone like that, but I prayed with Earl. We held hands. It was a simple prayer. Father God, in the name of Jesus I ask you to heal Earl, in Jesus’ name. And that man that couldn’t left his head off the pillow for three months, within a couple days, he was lifting his head off the pillow. And then a couple days more, he was sitting on the side of the bed and within not many weeks, he left that hospital, Sid, without the need of a heart transplant, and he was healed.
SID: I told you, he’s my kind of doctor. You have so many amazing stories of experiences of patients (don’t tell this to most of your doctors) being raised from the dead. You don’t hear doctors talk about this. When we come back, I want to find out about some of his experiences of praying for people that were dead that have come back to life. Don’t go away.
