SID: And then he wanders into a messianic Jewish synagogue by a friend, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. And he accepts the Messiah in that synagogue. And of course he’s given his first New Testament and he takes it home. And his Jewish mother promptly… How did your mother find that? Did you just put it in the living room?

JASON: No, no. Listen, I hid it in my bedroom, but moms have a special spiritual gift, how to find anything. You can’t hide anything from your mom.

SID: And then a week later… This is amazing. A week later, he sees his first miracle. You don’t start with a headache, do you? What happened?

JASON: No. I used to help homeless people in New York city. And I get a collect call from my friend, Jeff, who was in NYU Medical Center. He had been sleeping outside. He got gangrene. The doctors tell him we’re going to have to amputate your legs from the knees down. Could you imagine being in New York city with no legs, homeless on the street? It’s unimaginable. So I just read the book of Acts. So I go to the hospital and see him. I said, look, they healed people. They pray for them in the Bible. I remembered a passage in the book of Acts. I laid my hands on him. I said, silver and gold, have I none. What I have in the name of Yeshua, arise, take up your bed and walk.

SID: You took the word literally.

JASON: I took it literally. That’s what it said. That’s what Peter prayed…

SID: What happened to your friend?

JASON: He got healed. He got saved. And he walked out of the hospital a week later.

SID: Say, that’s normal. It’s too bad. People pick up… We Jews think we have a corner on the market. Christians have a corner on the market too. It covereth thee in the world. Tradition. You wrote a brand new book and you are bringing together Jews and Christians and the subject is, Aligning With God’s Appointed Times. Why did you write this book?

JASON: I believe it’s so important. It is about the biblical Jewish holidays. I think every believer in Yeshua needs to understand for a number of reasons. One is, the biblical holidays are prophetic. When you understand their significance, when you read this book, you’re going to tap in to the prophetic meaning and the prophetic power for your life. And it releases that in such a way that it is life-changing and transformative.

SID: Well I am amazed at the number of top Christian prophets that say to me, Sid, I don’t understand it. But at these feasts, I, it’s like a portal. A door opens to heaven like Jacob and the angels coming up and down the ladder. It happens on the feast. Why is that?

JASON: Yeah, because they’re called in the Bible, the moedim, the Lord’s appointed times. God has set these appointments, going back to the very beginning of creation. When he says he put the stars in the sky, the sun and moon for times, and for seasons it’s for the appointed times. These holidays are woven into the fabric of creation. They’re not just meant to be past remembrances. They’re meant to be reoccurrences and reactivations of these prophetic holidays in our life. And of course every Jewish holiday finds its fulfillment in Yeshua, Jesus. Every major event in his life happened on a biblical holiday. So of course, there’s going to be a significance. God wants to do the same in our life today.

SID: God spoke to you. What did God say to you?

YVON: He confirmed what Randy said. He confirmed that. And I want to just rewind a little bit, because something significant led to that particular event. Just before we go to Dr. Randy Clark’s conference, we were invited to go to Malaysia for a conference, and my mom was sick. She needed a shoulder replacement. And I wanted to leave my children with her to go to the conference. And mom said, “No, that is the week of my operation, and you can’t change the date.”

YVON: So I remember calling the hospital and begging them, “Would you please change the date, because I’ve got to get to Malaysia.” So they did. When I got there, I saw something that shifted my faith, Sid.” I saw a Muslim man on a stretcher with 30 members of his family. He was hit by a motorbike. He was totally destroyed, and his body was not healing. They heard about our conference and they wanted prayer. He was healed. When he was healed, the 30 members of his family, they came to Jesus.

YVON: Now, that was a slap on the face. Because I was like, “Oh my God, healing is a great door to evangelism.” If you operate in the supernatural, you would reach nations, and you would reach them so quick and so easy. So when I went back home, my mom was healed. Because I said to God, “I promise you, I’ll give my entire life to the healing ministry if you heal my mom. Because that way, you are confirming that that healing power is yours.” I go back home, my mom’s healed. When I promised that, God opened the door for me to get to Dr. Randy Clark, get trained in healing, receive the impartation.

SID: But listen to this. This is the most amazing thing. Yvon and her husband then start a little house congregation, which gets larger, miracles start bringing… I mean, impossible miracles, cancer. I mean, all sorts of things break out. It sounds almost like someone I got to know, Kathryn Kuhlman.

YVON: Yes.

SID: And a man shows up, puts her and her husband on television, and they have literally reached thousands and thousands of Muslims that have given their heart to Jesus and the miracles, the outrageous, that happen just by someone watching her and her husband on television. Now, I’m going to turn Yvon loose to teach you how to experience God’s love, which she says is the greatest weapon against sickness, and you’re going to receive that love, and you’re going to get healed—next.

SID: Yvon, you were in a car accident in 1998, and you had a revelation. And when she shares this, and then when Yvon and her husband pray over you at the end of the broadcast, you’re going to understand why it was turned for good. What happened?

YVON: Amen. So, I was involved in this car accident, [and] for at least years and years. And so when I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I got healed from a lot of conditions except this one. And I was frustrated, because I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. I was rebuking the disease, a lot of stuff. So this condition left me with a lot, and a lot of pain in my tailbone, because I was stuck in between five cars on the highway. It was a big accident. I wasn’t able to carry my kids. It was terrible. And so, I wasn’t getting healed, and I was getting frustrated. I didn’t know why the pain wasn’t going away.

SID: Did you know who Zerubbabel was?

TRACY: No, and I woke up the next morning and I thought, “Oh, I hope that’s not a demon. I hope I’m not having a baby demon or something.” And you know, God is so good. That next day I was doing a prayer, a 30-day prayer thing from Chuck Pierce. And that day I was praying out of where the Lord said to Zerubbabel, “Rebuilt my temple.” And I’m like, my mind is blown. I said, “That’s the baby that I’m having. And he said to rebuild the temple.” So Zerubbabel rebuilt the temple. And so, and they came out of Babylon. They were coming out of Babylonian captivity. And so all of this started to make a story. But again, I wasn’t quite sure what the significance was. What it was at that time.

SID: So what did this all mean? I mean, build the temple, having a baby like Zerubbabel. What does it all mean?

TRACY: Well, basically what the Lord showed me. I spent several years, nine, 10 years in Ezra and the book of Haggai and in Zechariah. And I was just engrossed in the story of this second temple. You know, Zerubbabel was such a fascinating character, but yet not very many Christians even know who he is. I mean, we know about Moses who led the first exodus, and we know about David and Solomon who built the first temple, but nobody knows who Zerubbabel is. And he actually led the second exodus and built the second temple. So he’s a fascinating character. And he’s in the line of Judah, he’s in the line of kings. And then he partners with this man named Joshua, who is a priest. And so you’ve got this situation where you’ve got this new temple that’s being rebuilt. And so what the Lord showed me that this temple was a symbol of the rebuilt tabernacle of David, or which is 9/11, Amos, 9:11.

TRACY: Right, so the shift came on 9/11 in the world. And so on that day something shifted, right? So, also it’s nine, it’s Hebrews 9:11. We are the temple of the Lord that is not made with human hands. And so we are the fleshly temples. We are the rebuilt tabernacle of David. So when Jesus came, what he did is he laid the foundation of the temple. And then, and right now what’s happening for the rebuilding of the temple is there’s a shift going on in the body of Christ right now, where God is saying, “I’m bringing my capstone and my finishing work to the foundation of the temple.” And so in Zechariah 4 you can see where the rebuilt temple is. And he said this, “Now this rebuilt temple, or the capstone is going to come, not by might, nor by power. It’s not going to come from the work of our hands, but it is going to come from the power of the Holy Spirit.”

TRACY: And then He goes on to say, “And I am going to give you a double portion of grace for this work.” And then he goes on to say “That the hand of Zerubbabel laid the foundation of the temple.” Which happened when Jesus came, he laid the foundation, but his hand and the same dispensation will also finish it. So as it was in the former rain, so it will be in the latter rain. Even much more so, because we will be partnering with heaven with a double grace anointing on this last capstone generation. And so we know when there is a rebuilt temple, there’s got to be the priesthood that fills that temple.

SID:  So when you pray that the enemy’s hindrances be gone after they’ve said nothing has happened does the presence then come sometimes? Or all the time?

ROBBY:  The majority, the majority of the time I would say with that prayer of releasing manifest presence I would say that 90% of the time people feel and experience what I’m saying, what I’m talking about. That they agree that they feel and experience. And then what 10% of the time it’s about, it is usually something that is inhibiting or blocking. I mean people can be not being truthful. We’ve had that. I’ve had people say no, I’m not feeling anything and then all of a sudden I get an email or they contact later and say you know I’m sorry, I really was. It just, it just so startled me I was, I just couldn’t. It was hard for my mind to wrap around it.    

SID:  You know when I first started praying for the sick, etcetera, as I said I had the same track record as you and then all of a sudden people started getting healed. But I’ll tell you that when I would speak words of knowledge I would have more faith in my words of knowledge than in the people’s honesty of telling me whether they were healed or not. And people sure enough would come up after the… I said raise your hand if this condition, you’ve been healed. No one would raise their hand. And I should have been crushed. But then I would find afterwards they’d come up and say I was healed. I just didn’t want to raise my hand. So—

ROBBY:  Exactly.

SID:  I began to say I trust God’s Word more than you guys. (laughs) ROBBY:  Right! Exactly! And I think that’s, I think there’s great wisdom in that because as we do that. I mean because you know the scripture says He’s not going to withhold any good thing from us. He’s a good Father. He loves, He loves His creation. He loves His children. You know He’s not going to withhold any good thing. And you know that, that really came into vital importance that night when we came into that knowing that He’s not going to withhold any good thing you know when we came into the, the service that night into the meeting at the church. And they just wrapped up worship and I was up and I had just shared about a  message that I had, that, that I was talking about and, and just referencing and all of a sudden this mother began to just, stood up and began to scream in the service. She goes my son, my son! And I look back and this man was arched across the back and the seat portion of the seat. He was just like straight as a board in the seat and his arms were curled up and his head was turned to the side. And I mean it looked to me like somebody was like turning his head off his body. I mean it looked bad. He was extremely red but he was going quickly purple very fast. And the mother began to scream and she held her hand out to me and said please, will you please help my son? And so I ran over and I put my hand on his chest and my hand on his head and I began to just rebuke the spirit of infirmity because many times I’ve found that demonic power, you know all sickness, disease, all of that, I— what I see in scripture and understand in scripture is from the enemy, is from the kingdom of darkness.

SID: I’ll tell you what, I’ll tell you what I want you to do LaDonna. I believe that if you pray for those who have children that have not sold out to the Lord, that I believe we’re going to have more answers to prayer from this prayer at this moment—

LADONNA: Yes.

SID: that you have ever had in your life, LaDonna.

LADONNA: Yes. Yes, I want to pray. I want to pray for these parents. Now, listen to me, Folks. Some of you who are listening, you raised your children in the faith. You took them to Church, you read the Bible to them, but they’ve gone astray. But there others of you that you’ve raised your children while you were not serving the Lord, and you look back with regret over the things that happened in the home, the influence you were on your children. I want to tell you, nothing is too hard for God. So I’m just going to pray for you, that you will have faith to believe that God can reach your child, it’s never too late. And we’re going to just agree together that these children are going to encounter God. He knows how to reach them where ever they are in a way that gets their attention. And this is a breakthrough time. Let’s just agree together. Heavenly Father, I lift my voice to you on behalf of these parents. Some have raised their children the way they were instructed by your word, others have not. They didn’t know to. But together as parents trusting you as the Lord, the One who woos people, the One who by Your Spirit can convict hearts and bring our children home. Thank you that right now young men, young woman whether they’re in prison or they’re out on the street. Whether they’re just living rebellious in the home, it does not matter. We stand on the Word of God, that the children will come back. Thank you, Father, we can cast our impossible cares on you; You come through with Miracles. So we say, “Thank you in advance.” Give courage to these parents. Give them faith to believe that nothing is too hard for You and may they begin hearing from their children. Thank you, they’ll be reporting into Sid’s program, they’ll let him know about the Miracles. We’ll hear the testimonies, because You are faithful and we say, “Thank You in Jesus’ Name!”

SID: And don’t you dare forget something that LaDonna said. After she believed that her son would be restored, she didn’t walk around saying, “Oh please, God.” She walked around saying, “My son is restored—.”

LADONNA: Amen.

SID: “My son is whole from this moment on. My daughter, my son, they are serving God!” You got it? Okay, now, I need you to do something LaDonna, because it would be a tragedy not have you pray for the sick with everything that happens in your ministry. But would you talk for about 5 minutes of whatever the Holy Spirit shows you to build our faith for a Miracle, and then I want you to pray for one.

LADONNA: Mm-hmm, wonderful. You know everyone has a need in their life. You’re listening to me now, you’re thinking. You’re actually beginning to think about things that only God can do. There physical problems, financial problems, relationship problems; you see we seen so many physical healing Miracles that it’s easy for me to agree with you, that God can do what you need. We see something very wonderful in the Scripture. There’s a story of a Leper that came to Jesus. Now, I want you to think about this. A Leper is a person who in Jesus’ day had to live isolated. They were considered unclean. According to Jewish custom, if they came near people, they had to cry out, “Unclean, unclean, unclean!” Imagine, if all of your life was surrounded by that psyche, by that idea, that self-image, that you’re ‘unclean’. You could never be around people, no one wanted to touch you. You were not welcome in society, your life was not able to make a contribution to the community. Imagine. When the Scripture says that, “—a Leper came to Jesus”, we’re seeing the display of a desperate man. And I think sometimes when we receive a Miracle, we have to come to that place of desperation. Where we’re not willing to look anywhere else, but we just come to the Lord, and say, “I’m coming to you in faith; Have mercy on me.” Well this Leper came, and we don’t have a record that he called out, “Unclean.” Maybe he had heard that Jesus was a healer, or gracious, but he came and he said, “If you want to, you can heal me.”

SID: Hello, Sid Roth. This is our first show of Something More. Now, I have to tell you how we came up with the name and I also have to tell you I didn’t. One of my staff was more brilliant. They came up with the name. You see, when I was in college, I use to write songs. And one of my songs was “There Must Be Something More.” And so I also did my testimony book and I talk about the song, “There Must Be Something More.” And so they thought, well that is kind of, that kind of fits. With you Sid, but then I thought, well we do a half-hour television show, It’s Supernatural. What if we did an hour interview with the same guest, then guess what you’re getting? [laughs] Good guess! You’re getting Something More. Well, for our first show, I have someone that I have not personally met, but I have admired her and her family from afar. You probably heard of T.L. and Daisy Osborn. And I have her daughter, Dr. LaDonna Osborn. And LaDonna, I have so many questions, I might get tongue-tied trying to get them all out at once. But for starters, I want you to just start with you. What is your favorite Miracle, that you saw under your Parent’s ministry?

LADONNA: Mm, that’s such a hard question to answer. But one that really comes to my mind is the Miracle of Karimu. He was a Muslim beggar who was healed in my Folks Crusade, in Ibadan, Nigeria, probably back in the 70’s. We had an enormous—.

SID: What was wrong with him?

LADONNA: He was crippled, he had had polio and it left his legs very shriveled. He walked around with car tires wrapped on his knees and wooden blocks in his hands; so he walked on his knees and his hands. And you could call him a professional—.

SID: Talk about, talk about a horrible life. A horrible predicament.

LADONNA: Well, we would call him a “Professional Beggar” because he had, this is very sophisticated. He had a circuit that he would go around every day for 30 days, and then he would repeat that circuit the next month. And this is significant to his Miracle story. He had been paralyzed or withered in that way for 38 years, 4 months, and 3 days. This man—.

SID: So I imagined a lot of people that were in the path of his circuit for all of those years, they knew [laughs], what was wrong with him.

LADONNA: Yes, this man was, it was a notable Miracle. Exactly, because everyone knew him. Now what was funny, he was a very devout Muslim. And he did not want to come to our Crusade, but one of the people on his circuit happened to be the King of Ibadan who was a wonderful Christian, and in fact, the Chairman of our Crusade. And so when Karimu came around to get his alms or his little gift from the King, the King walked out and said to him, “Karimu, go to the Crusade.” And of course, Karimu, “Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Yes Sir!” [laughs] He had no choice but to go. So he stayed way in the back of the crowd just respectfully being there, listening to the message. My father preached on, “Jesus Alive.” Karimu listened, and he was disinterested.

SID: [smiles]

DONNA: So you went on a bit of a search.

BRIAN: I did. Actually, the same guy who had brought me onto the camp said Brian, I want you to go on a conference with me and he said I believe it’s going to change the course of your life! Now that’s a huge statement to say. And so it happened actually to be a Vineyard conference. And you know, Donna, as I walked in the presence and power of God hit me so strong I literally fell to the ground! And I’m like what is going on? And then I’m around these people that are experiencing the presence and I’m watching ordinary people. They’re praying for one another. People are getting healed. And it was like a people that were hungry for the presence! And it was like this feels like home!

DONNA: Yes.

BRIAN: Yeah.

DONNA: Yeah. So that felt like a place where you could belong and that you could serve. So you started serving. You got involved in that and you actually found out that there was someone that was doing exactly what you wanted to be doing. 

BRIAN: Yes.

DONNA: And so you set out to find this person. What happened?

BRIAN: Yeah, absolutely. So as I started learning how to hear from God and that believers were called to do this stuff for the kingdom, do what Jesus did, I saw this guy named Blaine Cook from some old VHS tapes.

DONNA: [Laughing] VHS! 

BRIAN: Right. That is dating me a little bit, right?

DONNA: Shush! [Laughing]

BRIAN: Yeah. And it was a thing called “Signs and Wonders.” It was John Wimber and Blaine Cook. And what I loved about Blaine who was just an ordinary business guy and he had the most extraordinary stories is he was just doing life and he was saying people were coming into the kingdom. People were getting healed and I thought I would love to be around someone like that!

DONNA: Yes.

BRIAN: And so, later on, I found out that he was going to be in Chicago and I live in Oklahoma City so that’s about a 15-hour drive. And so I jumped in the car with two friends and we drove 15 hours and all on the way I’m praying, “Oh God, would You touch me! Would You put on me what You put on Blaine? Would You put on me what You put on John?” Because I wanted to see this same stuff happen outside the four walls of the church!

DONNA: So for 15 hours —

BRIAN: I’m praying!

DONNA: You’re praying.

BRIAN: I’m asking God. Right? My friends are sick of me! Right?

DONNA: [Laughing]

BRIAN: So we get into the meeting and it’s electrifying! I mean it is unbelievable! And I see Blaine. He gets up and he starts to like scan the crowd for a moment. And he looks and he points directly at me and says, “You, young man! Stand up! The power of God is all on you for power evangelism!” And Donna, this electricity hit my body and literally it was so powerful that it propelled me back and I flew back. Hit the ground. Took out about 8 rows of people 

DONNA: [Laughs]

BRIAN: And laid there and shook violently in the presence of God! But it didn’t hurt. It was just power! And I remember at that moment saying, “God, thank You for touching me!”

DONNA: Mmm!

BRIAN: “Would You give me an opportunity now to see Your power outside the four walls of the church?” And so God really encountered me in a deep way there! And so, well I got my prayer answered. We had to go to lunch so I went to Popeye’s Chicken of all places.

DONNA: [Laughs]

SID: Many people take it as, “Oh, that’s my sign that my prayer has gotten through. Bye-bye Holy Spirit, bye-bye prayer.” You’re saying, that’s God saying, “You’re doing right, you’re doing right daughter. There’s more, I want you to enter into this wonderful presence.”

DAVID: Yes. And that’s the key is once you’ve rid yourself of the flesh and you’ve been flooded with that peace to where the flesh can no longer torment your mind and keep you from praying. Now I take that peace and because I’m in that place of peace, I can enter into the deeper things of God without being distracted by the flesh. And then I can obtain those things that manifest in my life. And when I say obtain, I don’t mean that you didn’t have them before. I really am describing when that which is in you becomes manifested in the outer shells of who you are.

SID: I know people that pray in tongues all day.

DAVID: It’s an important gift.

SID: And sometimes I scratch my head and I say, “How can you do that?” And they are probably scratching their head. And they’re saying, “If you experience the results and the ecstasy and the joy I experience when I get deep in the spirit, how can you not do that?”

DAVID: Well praying in tongues is one of the most powerful tools that God has given to us in our prayer lives. Romans chapter eight, verse 26 tells us something astounding that the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings according to what? The will of God. So he prays passionately for me, bending me, inclining my heart toward the word of God, inclining me toward the things of God. Now think about this, people travel all over the world. They go and get hands laid on them by many great men and women of God. They go to receive impartation. And that’s wonderful. But think about this, the Holy Spirit wants to lay hands on you himself. And the key to this is the gift of speaking in tongues.

DAVID: First Corinthians chapter 14, verses two and four tell me that when I pray in tongues, I’m talking to God and my spirit is being edified. First Corinthians 14:14 tells me that when I am praying in tongues, I am praying in the spirit. Therefore, when I pray in tongues, I’m connecting with the Holy Spirit’s prayers and I’m praying what the Holy Spirit is praying. Therefore, when I pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit is praying for me through me. It’s as if he’s saying, “I’ll pray for you myself, if only you give me a mouth. I’ll lay hands on you myself, if only you give me the hands.” Now, many people find this prayer eluding them because they can’t really find that breakthrough to where they can start praying in the prayer language.

DAVID: And really I know why people can’t pray in tongues and they won’t like the answer, but it’s the truth. The reason people can’t pray in tongues comes down to one word and one word only, it’s ego. And when I say ego, I’m not just saying pride and arrogance. Ego is doubt, fear, worry, overthinking all of those things. When people are trying to receive the gift, they say things like, “Well, this is just me. Or what if it’s not God? Or what if I’m forcing something God doesn’t want to will for my life?” And it’s those types of excuses that the flesh gives to us that prevent us from receiving this gift.

I worship in many different ways. I also worship that just by reading the scriptures. That’s a form of worship. I worship by taking communion. That’s a form of worship. There’s all these ways where we can bring our worship unto the Lord. When we do that, the presence comes.

The Bible says that when the presence comes, the glory comes, and that we are transformed into his image, into his likeness, from glory to glory. That happened to Jesus. When Jesus was up on the Mount of Transfiguration, which is where that word transformed comes from, it says a glory cloud overshadowed him. It says his appearance suddenly underwent a change.

So as we worship and the glory comes, our appearance, our physical appearance, Sid, our body, our organs, our muscles will undergo a physical change. We will be transformed into his image.

SID: But it all starts by surrendering to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the only option that is left on Earth, and that’s the Messiah of Israel, Jesus. Say this prayer out loud. “Dear God, I’m a sinner. I’m so sorry. I turn from my sins. I ask the blood of Jesus to wash every bad thing I’ve ever done away, and I am clean. Now that I’m clean, come and live inside of me. I make you not just my savior, but my Lord. Amen.”

Katie, pray that… that spirit of death is going to leave people right now.

KATIE: Amen. Just right now in your home, just say, “Lord, if there’s any sin in me.”

SID: Lord, if there’s any sin in me.

KATIE: “I repent of my law-breaking …”

SID: I repent … law-breaking..

KATIE: “… so that my charges …”

SID: … so that my charges …

KATIE: “… that the enemies brought against me …”

SID: … that the enemies brought against me …

KATIE: “… of law-breaking will be dismissed.”

SID: … of law-breaking will be dismissed.

KATIE: “And death will have to back off …”

SID: And death will have to back off …

KATIE: “… of my body, my finances, my marriage …”

SID: … of my body, my finances, my marriage …

KATIE: “… my children, and every part of my life.”

SID: … my children, and every part of my life.

KATIE: “And I decree …”

SID: And I decree …

KATIE: “… that I’m under grace.”

SID: … that I’m under grace.

KATIE: “It’s building a divine protection over me.”

SID: It’s building a divine protection over me.

KATIE: “Because where my sins of law-breaking increase …”

SID: Because where my sins of law-breaking increase …

KATIE: “… grace increases them more and super abounds over it.”

SID: … grace increases them more and super abounds over it.

KATIE: Now just stay there right now. I want you to just receive. Thank you, Lord. I decree that a hedge of the blood and a divine protection of grace is over everyone watching right now.

I command you, spirit of death, right now, you come out. You come out of their body. You come out of their finances. You come out of their ministry. You come out of their marriage. You come out of their children. You come out of their household. You come out of every single organ.

Now lay your hands on that organ. Lay your hands on that place in your body. Lay your hands on your face, your skin, wherever death is attacking you right now. Say with me, “Come out, death. Come out, death.”

SID: Come out, death.

KATIE: I release the spirit of life into you. Life. As death, you have to evacuate. The spirit of life is coming in to cause new cells to grow, new skin to grow, organs to be refreshed and made healthy again, for your bank account to grow, for your marriage to blossom and be filled with life.

Death, you come out, and life, you come in. Right now, in the name of Jesus, I bind death, and I loose life into every place you need it right now. In Jesus’ name, in the name of Jesus, in Jesus’ name, in the name of Jesus, in Jesus’ name, in the name of Jesus now, now receive life. Now receive life in Jesus’ name, in Jesus’ name.

SID: God says, “It is finished.”

KATIE: Thank you, Lord.

SID: Hello, I’m here with, Joe Oden. And Joe, you’re channel-surfing one day, you’re a drug addict, you’re overdosed on LSD. Why in the world would you be watching an evangelist on television?

JOE: That’s a great question. It wasn’t set up that way, I was experiencing an OD as you said, and I stopped. And when I did there was a gentleman preaching and he said these words, “There’s some young people that are watching this program and you’re hooked on drugs. Not only are you hooked on drugs you’re in a deep, dark cave of drug addiction, but I have good news for you. Jesus Christ is in the cave with you. He’s going to bring you out, He’s going to set you free and you’re going to preach the gospel around America.” When he said that, Sid, the power of God hit me in a La-Z-Boy chair. I was instantaneously sobered off the drug and I was called to preach the gospel. I would love to say at that moment I gave my life to Christ and I began to fulfill that call but I began to do more drugs than I’d ever done before.

SID: Did you believe that was God?

JOE: I knew unequivocally it was God, because after that moment I would be at a party strung out on drugs, doing cocaine, I’d get everybody’s attention and I’d prophesy. I didn’t know what I was doing. I would say this, “One day real soon I’m going to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ around the United States of America.”

SID: I mean, while you’re high on this LSD?

JOE: While I was high, while I was drinking, the call of God from that prophetic word got on the inside of me and I knew it was my destiny.

SID: So two years later you do you’re up to your old ways, you’re still a drug addict, and you get in trouble with the law and the judge gives you an unusual sentence.

JOE: Yes.

SID: He sentenced you to church?

JOE: Right. I prayed along with the prophecy every night before I’d go to bed that God will get me in church. For two years I prayed that prayer, court-ordered by the law to go to church, I picked a little Assembly of God church in Southern Alabama. Six months into my church sentence I’ll walk in, I don’t know Christian-ese, I don’t know how to say, “I feel the Holy Spirit,” but something in the room. I began to have open-eyed visions of the things of God. The preacher preaches, I run to the altar, I give my life to Christ. I stand up for the first time in my life washed in the blood of Jesus.

He said, “What do you need from God?” I said, “I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit.” He lays hands on me, I hit the ground under the power of God. That had never happened to me before, it didn’t happen in my church, and before I left that day, “I said, God, if my friends that are hooked on drugs could feel this power that’s running through my body right now they get born again.” I walked in bound by hell down to the grave, I walked out telling everybody I could about Jesus.

SID: So you’re born again, you’re baptized in the Holy Spirit?

JOE: Yes.

SID: You’re delivered from drugs?

JOE: Yes.

SID: You are on fire for Jesus?

JOE: Yes.

SID: All in one day?

JOE: Instantaneous deliverance.
