SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest is considered by many the father of the modern day prophetic movement, and I found out one of his secrets. He had an audience with Michael the archangel who instructed him strategies to win every battle. And I can tell you, I’m going to ask him on the air to do an amazing strategy that most people don’t know is in the Bible. And when he does this angels go on assignment. Do you know what it is? It’s the shout! Dr. Bill Hammond, you have been a general of the prophetic for some six decades. You were about 16 years old, you became a believer and then you went to church and you had quite an encounter with the Holy Spirit. Tell me about it.
BILL: Well it wasn’t really a church. It was Russian Armenia [unintelligible].
SID: I’ve read about Russian Armenia. What is that?
BILL: Russian Armenia, there was no electricity out there and you go out there, and you cut down some little saplings, and they put them around there, put the brush over the top, hang kerosene lanterns up.
SID: That’s good for Daniel Boone. I like electricity.
BILL: And they put bridge boards across the blocks and some saw dust down by the altar there. You’ve heard about going down the Old Sawdust Trail?
SID: Yes.
BILL: That’s what that is. Well I went down there to the Old Sawdust Trail and that’s where that bridge work was done. And I had never been in church in my life. I didn’t know anything about God or anything, but I saw a vision of Jesus hanging on the cross and he looked at me and he said, “I died for you, will you live for me?” All this time I’m seeing this in the Spirit and pretty soon a little brother comes and starts pushing me on the shoulder and says, “Yes, that’s it, brother, that’s it.” I’m wondering in my natural mind, what is he talking about. He said, “Just turn loose.” So I turned loose to the altar. Then he said, “Hang on [unintelligible].” Then he said, “Just talk it out. The Lord said talk.” I listened to myself and I was talking a language that wasn’t Oklahoman lingo. You know, it wasn’t English, and I spoke in tongues for about 45 minutes, and that was in 1950, and I’ve been doing it now for 67 years.
SID: Well a few years later you’re in a Bible school and all of a sudden God spoke to you and you had a four-hour experience with God. What happened?
BILL: I went from Portland down to Salem to preach at night and after the preaching we all went to the altar and started praying. And all of a sudden the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Get comfortable. I’ve got something new for you.” So I crossed my legs like an old Indian chief, and I’m real comfortable, and for the next four hours, I’ll use modern terminology from computers today that they didn’t have then. But it was in modern terminology, my spirit uploaded to God and God’s Spirit downloaded to me. I would speak for about five minutes in a more Spanish or Italian, or French language, and it would go appealing, requesting, I’d go [speaking in tongues]. It would go about five minutes then stop just like that. Then I’d switch and God would download again, and it would be in a German, Russian type language. [speaking in tongues]. I could sense what I was saying, but I didn’t understand it. You could sense what people are talking and hear us, and he was instructing me. And that went on off and on about five minutes for four hours. Three months later, the Bible College split right down the middle, five teachers left. All these students were very confused, they didn’t know what to do. And I was praying, seeking God, and God told me, he said, “Bill, don’t worry about it. I’ll put it in modern terminology. While you prayed for four hours, I pre-programmed your spirit and your mind. You cannot fail. You won’t make the wrong decision. I’ve already pre-programmed you. You just go with the flow. I’m going to direct. I’ll call circumstances and providential [unintelligible] and you’ll be moved right into my time and purpose. You are already pre-programmed. You can’t miss it.
SID: I like that. How about you? You’re pre-programmed and can’t miss it. Another thing you said interested me. Right from the get-go you were speaking more than one language.
BILL: Yes.
SID: Whereas most believers that speak in supernatural languages, they stay with one language their whole life.
BILL: I have a language when I go to warfare that I will speak, and I’m just talking to God, I’m talking another language, when I’m interceding, another language, when I’m worshiping, another language.
SID: I’m intrigued with the angel, Archangel Michael. You had a private audience with him. How come I didn’t?
BILL: Well because of my calling to be, for the last 20 years I’ve led people in warfare to destroy the works of the devil. And in ’92 to 2001, I traveled all over the Pacific Rim nations, led them into warfare to stop the devil’s plans for World War III. So I was operating like a general and I’m with the Lord, and God gave me a four-point vision. I’ve had about five or six visions in my whole lifetime. I’m not a person to give in to [unintelligible]. I’m a more practical prophetic. But in this vision the Lord led me up this path. It seemed like I was out here watching all this happen. And the Lord came up and he says, “General Michael, this is one of my generals of the Army of the Saints on Earth.” Then he says, “General Hamon, this is General Michael, the head of my Army of Angels.” And he says, “You’re going to co-labor together to accomplish my work and destroy the powers of darkness and defeat the armies of wicked spirits.” I was out here just kind of watching, I was kind of from behind watching, and we were just talking like you and I would talk, strategizing, and going there, and he thought, and now I’m using those strategies around the world. The greatest corporate weapon that the church has is the shout of faith, and it goes off in the spirit realm like an atomic bomb does.
SID: Would you do me a favor?
BILL: Yes.
SID: Would you look in the camera and give a shout of faith. I want to see what it’s like.
BILL: What I do? Okay. Hallelujah! Amen.
SID: My goodness that was a shout. What’s going on in the spirit realm when you do that?
BILL: When we do that it’s what’s called prophetic acts of faith. When you do it here, see we fight, we’re a natural people, but we do a spiritual warfare, and we seated and [unintelligible]. But whatever we do here angels do in the spirit realm. We shout, they warfare, and they wait for our shout and for our obedience, and they do it. And so as we’re shouting, Michael told me, he said, “If you’re ever in trouble give a call and I’ll be right there.”
SID: Okay, Desert Storm, you did all this intercession as Michael taught you. What were the results?
BILL: We can cancel anything the devil plans. We the church can cancel and stop it. He told me, he said, “You’ve won the war. You’ve confused the situation [unintelligible] and there’s not going to be a third world war now.
SID: Okay, now when we come back, how would you like to hear scientific evidence of the value in speaking in supernatural languages? Be right back.
