SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Matt Sorger, and Matt as a fourteen-year old boy saw a great miracle. His mother had an incurable illness, medicine, doctors, could not cure here and so as a last resort she tried God, had a major miracles, and Matt saw this. His whole life was transformed, he committed his life to God, but you did something very unusual, you would go into your room every night and listen to worship music. Why did you do that?
MATT: You now I think when Jesus made himself real to me something happened in my heart where I became very hungry for God very quickly.
SID: Did anyone tell you to go in your room and listen to did you have a lot of CD’s?
MATT: No, I had maybe one or two to start with, I had you know my little worship tape that I had gotten and I had some of the songs that they would play in church, and I just remember as a young person, Holy Spirit drawing me and feeling this supernatural pull to just get alone with God. So I would go in my bedroom, I would shut the door, I would put the worship music on and I would start to sing the worship songs and I would pray and I would feel nothing, I thought God where are you.
SID: So you stopped this probably after a week.
MATT: No.
SID: No!
MATT: No I pressed in even more I said God –
SID: This isn’t a natural thing Matt.
MATT: I was, you know what it was, it was supernatural hunger because I would experience God in a church meeting but then when I was alone I wouldn’t feel him, but I wanted to. I wanted to be as close as I could be. So I would just, every day I would sing, I would worship, and I remember I did this every day for about four months. This was when I was a teenager, every day for about four months for hours I would go in my room and worship, worship, worship, worship, worship, worship. And then one day and I remember it like a picture in my mind, I am standing there with my hands lifted up and it was like heaven opened up over me, I was singing a song I had sung a million times before, heaven opened up over me, the glory of God came into my room, the manifest tangible presence of God in the air around, I could physically feel him came over my body, filled the whole room around me, and it was like something in the spirit realm broke open, and from that moment forward I would say I entered into a relationship, an intimacy, with the reality of the person of the Holy Spirit.
SID: Now you told me that all you have to do is say the name Jesus and you are immediately in his presence.
MATT: Yeah, and that’s what began to happen, I became so open in the spirit that I would close my eyes and I would whisper the name of Jesus and as soon as my focus would go on him, I would feel the presence of the Holy Spirit come down over me and around me.
SID: Now you also told me you saw the miracle of your mother and you started praying for people and you didn’t see many results.
MATT: At first I didn’t see anything and that frustrated me, I would be praying for somebody, no healing, no change, and I was saying Lord God there has got to be – the same power that healed my mom when we first got saved, it is real, so we should be seeing it every day now still. And I remember the part of this process of pressing in after God was having a desire to be so close to him and then out of it suddenly things started to change, I remember I would pray for people and nothing would happen, but then all of a sudden it was like the glory, or the spirit of God, the glory was just overflowing in my life to the point where now it would start to touch other people outside of me. So I guess it increased to the point where you know it overflowed and then I would pray for somebody miracles started happening, and people started getting set free and I remember the first time somebody fell on the floor and people watching and they would be like why do people fall over, you know, what are you pushing them over? Let me tell you I was a teenage kid, I would gently put my hand on somebody and when that anointing started to flow and somebody fell on the floor it shocked me just as much as it surprised them. And I remember thinking wow, what is that? Cause it was new for me to see that kind of manifestation.
SID: Listen some of the miracles that are occurring under Matt’s just praying for people is phenomenal, tell me about that person without an ear and without an eardrum, you realize they can’t any doctor would tell you no eardrum, no ear, they are not going to hear, what happened?
MATT: Well over the last five years I would say, we have been seeing these miracles happen, probably thousands of them now, and there was in one service God said he was going to open up deaf ears. So we just started to pray in mass, Lord open up the deaf ears. And the Spirit of God started moving around this place, there was maybe a thousand people there, Holy Spirit started moving around and they brought, my team brought this young twelve-year-old girl up on the platform, cute little girl, long brown hair, as they pulled her hair back I could see she had no ears on the side of her head, just two little holes, and they said to me Matt, this young girl born with no ears, no eardrums, she is deaf from childbirth, she cannot hear. And suddenly the power of God came on her.
SID: Stop for one second. Did you kind of say, “Oh God, what’s going on,” did you inside?
MATT: when you look at it in the natural you know it is impossible, but at that moment I was in the spirit, I was not seeing with my natural eyes, I was looking with the eyes of the Spirit of God, and when you look with the eyes of the Spirit of God the impossible becomes possible, all the limitations are broken off. And there was a gift of faith operating in me at that moment, so I looked at this young girl and the power of God came on her, and instantly she started hearing a
popping on the inside of her head and both of her ears and her, the Lord reached in to her head and recreated eardrums on the inside of her head, popped her hearing open and she heard for the first time in her life.
SID: God has also give you an extraordinary gift of teaching and transferring of the anointing, which goes on in these CD’s we are making available, “Operating In Creative Miracles.” Are people operating in creative miracles that get this teaching?
MATT: Yes, and you know what, the awesome thing about the anointing it is tangible, transferable, people can catch it, and what happens is.
SID: Listen, you are going to catch a miracle in this next segment because I am going to turn Matt loose and Matt is going to turn the Holy Spirit loose, and guess what, you are going to – your goose is going to be cooked. Literally, if you don’t make Jesus your Lord because there is no other way, there is no, you want the real thing, then you must reach out to Jesus, you know I am talking to you, don’t go away.
