Sid: My guest, Bruce Allen, I don’t see how he could help, but be red hot for the Messiah, with some of the experiences that he’s had on yesterday’s broadcast. I’ll tell you Bruce, just that one story about the person getting a new heart and being verified by a medical doctor would make someone, in my opinion red hot for the rest of their life. But that happens a lot when you minister, especially when you talk about where we are the seventh day. And you show it scripturally, do you find that the presence of God gets very strong when you teach on that subject?
Bruce: Oh, very very often yeah.
Sid: Well, let’s go back to when God spoke to you the first time about supernaturally being transported from one location to another.
Bruce: The Lord seems to like to challenge me just as I wake up when I’m not firing on all four cylinders or eight cylinders, or whatever we are on that day. But so He challenged me and asked me a question, “Can a man be translated by faith?” Now, I had absolutely no paradigm for that, that’s never been on my radar to even consider. I mean I’ve always been fascinated with the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch and how he was transported twenty eight miles away after he baptized that eunuch and he was found in Azotes; and so that challenged me, because I believe anything in the Bible that they walked in we can walk in. So when He asked me that I began to ponder shortly and then remembering what I’ve been teaching on the seventh day and the third day; I finally said, “Yes Sir, I believe so.” And immediately the Lord responded, “Good, prepare.” And now I’m really, I said well, “God, how in the world do I do that?” He said, “I just told you, by faith.” And so here I am, you know just getting up trying to wake up and God’s challenged me with something that’s extraordinary beyond anything I’ve ever really pondered or conceived of. And so I began to pray and study, well about a week after that I got a call from a friend, this couple have a Bible college in Spokane and she said, “Well, I had a strange dream about you teaching in our school last night.” I thought okay, that’s I teach in the school, “What was the dream?” She said, “Well, you were teaching on translation by faith,” and immediately she got my attention. I said, “Really,” so she told me the story how I had been teaching the class and at the break and I said for the rest of this session, you have to meet me in and she named some foreign city and you vanished, but two of the students were able to vanish and follow you. And I said, “Really.” I said, “Do you remember the scriptures I was using in that dream to teach?” And she thought for a moment and she said, “Yes, I do.” I said, “Would you please write those down?” And she did and that’s really where I began to study the word in even more depth, because I had been where do I start, where do I start? And from that point on the Lord began to open the word to me and I discovered that this belongs to the believer. And if we just learn to believe His word this should be a normal Christian experience, rather than an extraordinary or a one off experience. And so I began to fast and pray and study the word and you know Hebrews 11:5 said, “By faith Enoch was translated.” Well it’s right there in the Bible, so a man can be translated by faith. So six months into this pursuit of God, this adventure I was driving from Seattle, Washington actually, Edmonds which is right on the water of Peugeot Sound to Spokane which is about a five and half to six hour drive depending upon the traffic. My friend John and I were coming and we had discussed what the Lord was showing me, I said, “Let’s pray and believe God.” Because I told the Lord, I said, “Lord, I’ve been praying and fasting and studying, and I believe I’m ready for my first lesson.” So we prayed, we put on a worship song and we started driving and I remember every exit, I remember we stopped for gas and ate. But we did that trip in less than two hours and I got to tell you that really really put me on tilt because I thought okay, translation, I’ve seen instant translation, but you compressed time. And so that gave me, I mean a royal challenge, so I began to not only study the word in greater detail because I know in the Old Testament, God caused the clock to go backwards a few degrees and made the sun stand still with Joshua for a full day so this is not outside the purview or the realm of the possibility of God. But as I studied the word, I had to go to a little bit of Physics and I began to understand something that really liberated me in this; because we’re taught in school that the shortest distance between to points is a straight line.
Sid: Right.
Bruce: And the Lord said, that’s true in the natural however, in me the shortest distance between two points is being there.
Sid: Um, that’ll change anyone’s paradigm for physics. Ha-ha.
Bruce: Absolutely, shifted me. Then He said this “Is it possible for a man to be in two places at one time?” Well I know He’s going to throw out anything I thought I knew again, so immediately I had to respond well, “Yes Sir, I believe it is.” He said, “That’s true because in My word it says that you are already seated together with Me in Heavenly places; therefore you are in two places right now.”
Sid: Now, since that happened to you, has this happened again? Have you ever been translated to another city or another country?
Bruce: I was, that was, right after that we had our conference over New Years and during the conference just as we had started, I had told a friend of mine, “I don’t know why, but, he was a professional photographer, but bring your cameras and you just snap pictures as you feel led, I believe we are going to catch something supernatural.” Now, I had no idea, I just knew that I had that witness in my spirit. Well, at the beginning of my message, I was caught away in the Spirit and I was above the earth looking down on the nation and I saw the outline of the nation and I questioned, I said, “Lord, is this Latvia or Lithuania?” He said, “Latvia.” Now it was nighttime there, I saw the lights of the city.
Sid: Now, out of curiosity, “Were you a little afraid? I mean this kind of very different thing to happen to someone.
Bruce: You know Sid, what’s interesting is that in every single experience I’ve had in Messiah, I’ve never had a fear. There is always, it’s like…
Sid: I mean it’s like when I first learned to ride the bicycle I was fearful I would fall.
Bruce: Yeah, I understand, well, I was more of a daredevil so, but no it was always, when He’s with me “How can I be afraid?” I don’t know how to explain that.
Sid: Okay, so you see yourself over which country?
Bruce: Over, Latvia.
Sid: What happens next?
Bruce: It’s nighttime, there’s just a little bit of a cloud, you know a smattering of clouds; we came down from above, through the roof of an apartment flat and I stood in front door number 212, apartment 212. And I heard weeping inside, and I knew that it was a child, and where as I was going to knock I immediately went no, I opened the door and walked in and in the back room was a little eight year old girl named Natalia, I asked her her name. And I inquired, “What’s the matter?” She said, “My parents can no longer find employment or work, we have no food, we have no money and we are going to be evicted, we don’t know what to do and she was just pouring her little heart out to God. And so I comforter and prayed with her.
Sid: Now, wait a second, you were not fearful, but what about her seeing you in her room?
Bruce: You know that was the interesting thing; there was no fear at all. And I’ve never thought about that aspect before, now that you mention it, but it was nothing, it was like normal. Then another aspect was that I don’t speak Russian.
Sid: And you were able to communicate?
Bruce: Perfectly.
Sid: Okay, so what was going on with her?
Bruce: Well, she was just pouring her heart out, she was concerned for her parents, she was concerned about the future, she was concerned about all of these things. And so you know I don’t know how long I was there, time has no, when you are in an experience with God who cares about the time, so I ministered to her and then I was back, when I was done I do remember saying goodbye i.e. and everything will be okay. I was back in the meeting ministering. Well my friend, Bob had taken these pictures and…
Sid: I’ve got this picture in front of me and this is, I have to tell you Bruce this is outrageous, I see you in the church, but it looks like it’s not really you, it looks almost like an outline of you.
Bruce: Right.
Sid: A shadow of you.
Bruce: Transparent.
Sid: I know that’s what it is, and what is this cloud up on top of the ceiling?
Bruce: I don’t know?
Sid: I mean it looks to me if I was to take a guess, I would say that it was a glory cloud.
Bruce: Yeah, it could be, it could be, I don’t know, I don’t look at that.
Sid: Well, I’m looking at that and that is amazing. Were there many healings that night when that all transpired and you went for a trip for Latvia?
Bruce: That whole conference was highly unusual, the Lord visited in profound ways. My friend the shoulder you see there just as you’re looking at the picture on the left, I believe you know him, Andre Ashby.
Sid: Sure, I’ve interviewed him.
Bruce: Yeah, we’ve done a few conferences together and he moves in the glory quite strongly and I move in the prophetic and the signs and wonders happen, so yeah, there were a lot of supernatural things that did take place.
Sid: Well, I’m just overwhelmed by this picture alone, but I’m also overwhelmed about what’s going to happen to our Mishpochah when they read your book, “The Prophetic Promise of the Seventh Day” because we are at the beginning of the seventh day. And you prove Biblically what is avail to us at the seventh day and I mean, these promises are so fabulous, but as I started reading your book I felt such a presence of God. Now it’s brand new so we can’t talk about the book, but you have been teaching on this for many years and do you see the glory really showing up when you teach on this?
Bruce: Frequently, frequently.
Sid: And the miracles?
Bruce: I’ve seen more miracles since the Lord began to give me these revelations than at all my, the rest of my life combined.
