SID: Sid Roth here with Evangeline Weiner. Evangeline, you told me miracles are starting to break out even in the United States. Tell me one you’ve seen recently.
EVANGELINE: God’s the same everywhere. In America, even recently I was at a university campus in the east coast, and we were speaking to students who were interested in the supernatural, who were interested in God. I just stood up there and began to speak to people. People weren’t Christians or anything; they weren’t believers. But at the end I said, “Is there anyone who needs to be healed here?” And this girl stood up, she was from an African nation. She was from Sierra Leone, and she had become paralyzed due to the noise from the war, civil war in the nation. Through her hearing or something, one side of her body had become paralyzed. It was crazy, because here we were, just coming in as a student club, sitting with people who were studying, doing different things. People are trying to pretend like we’re not even there, the students. Anyway, we lay hands on her, and she literally began to get feeling in her arms, she walked around, she started moving her arms, she started moving her leg. We had all the family and all the aunts screaming and yelling, you know. I mean it happened right there in the middle of a campus, in the middle of a study hall basically. The power of God showed up.
SID: When you were 14 in Russia, you conducted your own seminar on faith, and you expected a few people to show up, just mostly pastors and people like that. How many came to your seminar?
EVANGELINE: I was 11 actually, but 350 came, and we experienced the power of God there too. I prayed for these two communist girls. I didn’t know at the time that they were the daughters
of the head of the communist party in that area. But I prayed for them, and they went home apparently speaking another language, because their parents were furious and called the governor’s assistant of religion affairs. The next morning, my dad came to me and said “Come on Evangeline, you got us in trouble.” He was just kidding, but he said, “This is pretty good. The first time you ever preach, you’re already getting persecuted.” So anyway, we went in there, met this big, bald…
SID: You’d have to know her father to appreciate that. I can picture him saying that. But can you imagine an 11-year-old going before the heads of the communist party? Were you nervous?
EVANGELINE: Yeah. Well, a little bit.
SID: Of course you were.
EVANGELINE: My dad was more nervous than me. He probably had more understanding that I could be sent to Siberia or he could. No, I’m just kidding.
SID: Well they have good salmon in Siberia. No, I’m just teasing.
EVANGELINE: Yeah, it can’t be that bad. Anyway, I sat there, and this big Russian bald guy is sitting there, and says, “Who’s done this? Who’s ruined all the peace of Russia?” He’s furious. Anyway, God got us out of there, but it’s just amazing what God can do through anyone who’s willing to say “God, use me. Here I am.”
SID: That’s what I love about your book. For instance, Jennifer Toledo, you tell her story. Tell me about her.
EVANGELINE: Jennifer Toledo was a girl who lived in California. Really, her life came to a focal point when she was sitting in Taco Bell one day and she felt the Lord say “You choose today who you’re going to serve.” She always thought she could serve God or serve the Devil, but she never thought, “I can serve myself.” She had this dream school she always wanted to go to, and she was feeling the Lord tell her to go to Africa. Originally to Canada, then to Africa. He said, “If you do this, I’m going to use you to change this nation.” So she began to step out, lay one thing down after another of her heart’s dream. Even marriage. At the time, she was wanting to get married, and the Lord told her “Why don’t you lay that down?” She didn’t want to, but it had to do with her getting to where God called her to go. So anyway, she went to Africa. When she went in, they had AK-47s. The World Vision trucks for food were there, because of the desolation of the nation she went to. She went there, and basically through a series of events there was a curse that was on that nation. Every time that same year all these witch doctors got together on what was called Goat Mountain and made sacrifices to the Devil for their nation, or the firstborn children would bleed out of their nose. In the city, everybody knew that this happened because of the curse that was on their nation. Even the pastors there.
SID: How could this young girl go there by herself? She reminds me of you.
EVANGELINE: I think she just realized who God was, that He was still the same God who uses Davids to take out Goliaths. That’s even the term she uses.
SID: She ended up in the hospital dying, and she had a mysterious visitor. Tell me about that.
EVANGELINE: She was dying in the hospital. While she was there, there was no explanation, but they said she was going to die. She was laying in bed, and she saw Jesus. He came in and He literally took His hand. She saw Him cut her open, so to speak, and clean everything off, put it back together, and the next day she woke up and goes “I’m hungry. Bring me something to eat.” She hadn’t eaten in weeks, and she was on the verge of dying. So Jesus Himself came and healed her.
SID: What did the doctors have to say about that?
EVANGELINE: Oh, they couldn’t believe it. They were saying it was a miracle that she was healed, that she was alive, that she was hungry. All of it.
SID: But even greater than that miracle, this one girl fulfilled her destiny, and that’s what Evangeline is talking about in her book. This one girl. one person to fulfill your destiny. What effect did she have on, I believe it was Kenya?
EVANGELINE: By the time she left, or the last time she was there, there was no more World Vision trucks, they didn’t have to be escorted by AK-47s, the land actually grows crops now. Before, it was in famine. And, the curse is no more. So it literally changed the whole atmosphere of a nation.
SID: We’re going to be back in a moment, and you’re going to find out about a Jewish Indian woman that moves in such extraordinary signs and wonders, people with AIDS are being healed. If you know someone with HIV or AIDS, this is your moment. Don’t go away, we’ll be right back after this word.
