SID: You know David, last night you sent me a text. You were so excited and you got me so excited. A great miracle happened. You were speaking here in Charlotte. Tell me about that person.
DAVID: So I was ministering here in the area, and I like to minister whenever we visit a town. And so we drove out to Wake Forest and we were in a service where the power of the Holy Spirit was moving. I’m telling you, it was like the weighty Glory. I thought I was beginning to begin to see the manifested cloud, which we sometimes see. But the presence of the Holy Spirit was so tangible, so real, and people started getting healed. And so there was this gentleman in the very back who was worshiping, and the Lord spoke to me in my spirit. He said, “I want to heal that man.” And I knew that I knew, that I knew that this man was going to be healed. I just didn’t know what his sickness was. So I called him up. By the time he gets to the front I realize that there’s something on his neck and he’s unable to move his arm. He tells me the story that cancer had eaten away certain parts of his body to where they had to remove the muscle that enabled him to lift his arm. The whole church could testify to this because they had been with him just recently at a conference, and they said throughout the entire conference this man was worshiping with one arm up and the other down. I pray in the name of Jesus to make you whole! And so when I laid hands on him, as I often do, I felt this, sometimes it’s like electricity, sometimes it’s like heat, and I just felt the power, the tangible power of God touch this man. And I knew, I said something is happening with this man right now, and the man just shot his arm right up.
SID: Wait, he had no muscle. That’s impossible.
DAVID: It was not possible, and in fact, he was demonstrating, the whole church just erupted. I was wondering why, okay, he was able to lift his arm up and I began to inquire, what really was wrong with him. When I got the details and they began to unravel the details it turns out because the cancer had eaten up certain parts of his body they had to remove that muscle, put it into his neck, and he’s pointing and he says, “That’s the muscle that’s supposed to help me lift arm. It’s not possible for me to do this.” And so I had the pastor verify, because you know, sometimes people will make stuff up. So I had the pastor verify, I had the church verify, I’m talking to this man and he is just astonished. The whole church was astonished to see this miracle. And when the people began to worship the Lord for that, another wave of healing got released all across the building. It was the power of the Holy Ghost.
SID: David, who, and this is important, who is the Holy Spirit?
DAVID: Well there’s a lot to that. But I like to say that the Holy Spirit is Jesus without boundaries and limitations. The Holy Spirit is Jesus on the cloud, as you would put it in technical terms, like technology. The Holy Spirit is the one who gives us boldness to evangelize. Think about what he did with Peter in Acts, Chapter 2. The same man who denied Jesus now boldly proclaimed the Gospel, and for every time he denied Jesus, a thousand people came to the Lord. Think about the Holy Spirit and how he stirs faith within the soul, causing us to believe in the miraculous in ways that we would not have otherwise believed. The Holy Spirit is the one who helps us to pray because no man or woman, no matter how anointed they are, knows the way into the presence of God. Only the Holy Spirit knows the way into the presence. And so in prayer he guides us, in worship he reveals Jesus and makes him real, causing our hearts to be stirred and burn with holy fire to where we cannot contain that passion that overflows with us as adoration of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the one who helps us to walk in holiness. So for those who are bound and weighed down by the shame, the sickness that is sin, the Holy Spirit offers freedom. He is the holiness spirit, the one who breaks the power and the chains that even those habits that people have had for years, he breaks those addictions, he breaks those bondages. The Holy Spirit is the one who delivers the captive from demonic oppression.
The Holy Spirit is the one who moves in us and gives us revelation of the Word. Sometimes when we read the Word we’re saying, I just want to see Jesus. He causes the information of the Word to go from just information to revelation, and revelation brings transformation. The Holy Spirit is the one who goes with us and gives us the words to speak when we don’t know what we should say. In those moments when we’re saying, “Holy Spirit, help me, I don’t know how to win this one to the Lord, I don’t know how to speak,” the Holy Spirit will stir within you words that come straight from the Father. The Holy Spirit is the one who opens the heart of the sinner causing them to go from stubborn, stone-hearted individuals to people who bow before Jesus as Lord. The Holy Spirit is the one who anoints us for ministry and appoints us into the call of God. He takes ordinary lives and makes them lives that transform the world. I like to say that a single moment spent in the presence of the Holy Spirit can transform your life, but a life spent in the presence of the Holy Spirit can transform the nations. The Holy Spirit is that something more. He’s that deep stirring. What was it do you think that caused the martyrs to lay down their lives and say take my blood, we want to preach the Gospel, Jesus is Lord? That’s the Holy Spirit stirring the love of God in our heart, shedding the love of God abroad in our hearts. The Holy Spirit is the one who gives us all the promises of the Father. The Holy Spirit is the one who causes us to walk in the perfect will of God, not by the day, not by the hour, but down to the millisecond.
SID: You really love the Holy Spirit.
DAVID: I can go on and on.
SID: I’m going to tell you something else. He’s not just going on and on, and on. This is power and this is truth coming across, and at a certain point the Holy Spirit is going to impress upon him to pray for miracles. Be right back.
