Sid: My guest is red hot for the Messiah, his name is Matt Sorger he spent a year ministering with Todd Bentley, moves in that same anointing. We found out in the last couple of days that it didn’t start out that way; it started out with seeing his mother radically healed with the power encounter with God. So then he eventually became a pastor, he prayed for people, got no results, but he had a hunger to get close to God, hunger for intimacy with God. He would spend hours and hours getting close to God and nothing would happen, but then one day an explosion of the supernatural, it was almost as if the anointing was accumulative and reached a point where it just exploded. So he’s an associate or assistant pastor and he’s doing something very nonspiritual he’s doing the bookkeeping for the offering, it’s not supposed to be a time that the anointing of God comes on someone but the presence of God came on you, what happened Matt.
Matt: Yes.
Sid: I’m speaking to Matt Sorger at his office in Long Island, New York.
Matt: Yes, it was amazing it was life changing for me, God started to talk to me as I was counting the offering, He said, “Matt I want you to get up and start to dance and worship Me right now!” And it was such an urgent call and the unction came so strong that I had to obey it. So I pushed all my paperwork aside, and you know there were two other church lady’s secretaries that were in the administration office at the time and they are at their desk working. So I stand up in the middle of the office, and in pure obedience to God I start dancing around the room and they start laughing and they thought “What you doing Matt?” You know they thought I was giving them a little dance show or something; but I was just dancing and worshiping God in obedience to Him. And as I did something supernatural happened I was dancing around the room, they’re laughing at me you know and of course it was a pretty funny scene, but then what I call a glory cloud came in from the hallway and you know in hindsight I look back on it and I understand that there was something being released of God’s tangible glory and also the angelic realm. And as this glory cloud came into the room the tangibleness of it was so strong that I could feel it coming into the room. It came over on top of me, and it was like I couldn’t physically see the cloud but I could feel it just as if it was physically there. The substance of this thing came around my head, my shoulders, my body, and when it did my body was thrown down to the floor, no one was praying for me, no one was even praying at the time, but my body was thrown down to the floor and instantly my spirit man was caught up into visions. And I began to see like a video scene in front of me and the Lord started to show me things that would happen in my life over the next several years. And I could see these things that were happening, it was things in the future and my body was so under the glory that I could not physically move one part of my body for at least an hour.as I laid on the floor. God was speaking to me and He was showing me destiny and He was showing me the miracles and He as showing me you know everything; different things that He would have me to do and as I’m laying on the floor maybe about an hour goes by and I’m eventually able to sit up. Now the experience that I was having Sid at the time was really probably so holy to me and so life changing that I couldn’t talk about it for years, it would be years before I was even publically able to share what had happened that day in that office.
Sid: Out of curiosity the other people that were watching what was going on did they see anything?
Matt: Well, that’s a good question, as they were sitting in their chairs they saw me fall on the floor, but they were still laughing because it still appeared kind of funny until that same tangible glory came over on to them and at the same time both of them were physically thrown out of their chairs behind their desk onto the floor. A physical force, a power, a weight of glory came into the room knocked everybody in the room on to the floor. They were now under their desks and they had to crawl out, they could not walk, they had to crawl out and now they’re laying somewhere in the middle of the room on the floor.
Sid: Just out of curiosity you saw what you describe as a glory cloud, did they describe seeing one too?
Matt: They felt the influence of it.
Sid: Okay.
Matt: They felt the influence of it and they became what I would consider intoxicated. Again Sid I know in modern moves of the Spirit things like this as far as being drunk in the Spirit things like that could be common for people but for us in our setting it was not, this was a very new thing for us. So now we’re all on the floor, I eventually able to sit up and I go to open up my mouth to maybe share something that I’m seeing and I’m struck completely mute, I have no more voice, I go to open up my mouth and nothing comes out, no matter how hard I try to talk I physically cannot talk for at least an another hour, maybe two hours.
Sid: Now just out of curiosity are you getting scared that you may never be able to talk again?
Matt: I don’t think I was scared I think I was, I was in awe of what was happening, I knew there was so much of God in the room that I wasn’t afraid, it was more of it was I was so overcome by God that my physical senses, my voice it would not work. It would not work I couldn’t even physically move my body either. And then I become aware of a presence standing right behind me; and as this encounter went on throughout the day this probably lasted I don’t know, five, six hours, the whole afternoon we were under the power of God. And I started to feel this presence standing behind me, a very strong sense of God’s presence, yet I knew it wasn’t just the Holy Spirit, it was something else standing behind me. And the Lord opened up my spiritual eyes to see an angel standing right behind me and I could physically feel on my body around me the wings of this angel envelope around me and then open, and then envelop around me and then open. And every time I would feel these angels wings come around my body a wave of like a waterfall of intense glory would go over my head, it would crash into the room and with my eyes open I could see this glory crashing down on the ladies that were on the floor, and their bodies at the same time would be lifted off of the floor, would bounce off the floor as this waterfall of glory would physically hit their bodies. They would lift off the floor and then another wave and their bodies would bounce off the floor and then another wave and even though it was invisible to the eye the substance of it was so real physically it would cause as it hit their bodies it would cause their bodies to react. So now I’m seeing in the Spirit this angel behind me, then I become very aware of a second angel in the room over to near my right side. So now I’m sensing, I’m seeing the angel behind me, I’m sensing another angel to my right side and the voice of the Lord, it was not necessarily an audible voice but it was what I call an inner audible voice, where the voice was very different from my own voice and It’s very clear and it’s very distinct. And the Holy Spirit, the Lord spoke to me and said, “Matt, the angel standing behind you is an angel of revival and the angel standing to your right is an angel of miracles, and today I’ve commissioned them into your life to travel with you and to go with you to help you do what I called you to do; and they will go with you throughout the nations of the world, and they will enable you and they will help you and they will aid you in doing what I’ve called you to do.” And that day those two angels an angel of revival and an angel of miracles was assigned to our ministry. It was only maybe three months after that encounter that I was launched out full time into a miracle healing prophetic revival ministry.
Sid: Now are you aware when these angels are with you and when they are not with you?
Matt: Yes, there will be times when I very distinctly feel the angelic presence near me. It was very interesting that just last week I was with Paul Cain, an elderly man of God has a huge prophetic history in his life and ministry.
Sid: He traveled with Branham and moves in some of the similar gifting’s, but go ahead.
Matt: That’s right, that’s right and he shared with me he said, “Matt I see that angel of the Lord that would stand near me and would talk to me” and I guess aid him in words of knowledge or supernatural information aiding him in his healing ministry or prophetic ministry. And he said, “I see that same angel, I see the angel of the Lord standing near you when you minister and you’re going to see an increase more and more and more.” And we’ve had these angelic assignments; I believe there’s even more than two angels that’s been assigned to us.
Sid: I’ll tell you what I think we’re getting invaded by the Holy Spirit right now, but we’re running short on time. Matt, why did you put this series together of four CD’s titled “Operating in Creative Miracles?” What’s your purpose?
Matt: So that the body of Christ will operate in creative miracles, it’s not just for one or two or a few, it’s for the whole body of Christ. This teaching will empower, equip and enable people to operate in the realm of supernatural signs, wonders and miracles.
Sid: One of the things that I love about your teaching is your and excellent teacher, and your anticipating the objections people have, but the truth is most people have been believers for a long time in a charismatic dimension haven’t seen many miracles, have prayed but haven’t seen many things happen. So they’ve almost stopped praying of they do it almost in a religious sense. Will this teaching activate the gifts within them?
Matt: It’ll activate the gifts of the spirit, it’ll activate the gifts of faith, working of miracles, gifts of healing, and faith to step out in those things. God is no respecter of persons and it’s a new day, it’s a new season, God is anointing the whole body of Christ.
