  1. Pastor Dale will come in just a moment, but before

  2. we do that, I want to introduce you to him a

  3. little bit, and then we're going to just turn

  4. our attention to the screen and see some of the

  5. work that is being done in the name of the Lord

  6. Jesus Christ in Africa. Dale's a great man, has

  7. been in ministry. We talked about it today as

  8. we had some time together for almost 50 years.

  9. A great man of God, pastored three churches,

  10. and now is on the road full -time as an evangelist,

  11. and God really does. do a marvelous work through

  12. him. It's an honor to have a fellow hunter, fisherman,

  13. and a good all -around guy here. We love him

  14. and we're grateful to have him. Would you just

  15. turn your attention to the screen and see what

  16. God is doing in the nations through his ministry?

  17. And what he has done there, he will do here.

  18. As Pastor mentioned, June marked the 50th year

  19. of this ministry. The bulk of it has been here

  20. in the United States and then about... 12, 15

  21. years ago, God spoke to me about going to the

  22. nations of the world. The healing ministry has

  23. been a part of the gift of God within my life

  24. before the preaching ministry actually began.

  25. And sometimes when people now know about what's

  26. happening overseas and our African crusades,

  27. they'll say things to me like, well, I guess

  28. you really get to see great miracles there. Let

  29. me tell you something. We see great miracles

  30. here. And I'm not just trying to be positive.

  31. I'm telling you, we see the same things happen.

  32. here, the blind, the deaf, the crippled, to imply

  33. that Jesus is great somewhere else, but not here,

  34. is an insult to the most high God. He is a God

  35. without boundaries. He has no lid. Come on. And

  36. there is literally nothing impossible with him

  37. in this room tonight. Tonight. Praise God. Well,

  38. it's nice to be back. I share the same sentiments

  39. as Brother Jan, as he mentioned yesterday. Your

  40. pastor and wife are the cream of the crop. They

  41. really are. They're the real deal. They're the

  42. real deal. It shows in the way they minister.

  43. It shows when they're in the parking lot. It

  44. shows everywhere. They got it in their prayer

  45. life, their attitude toward Christ. I like, I

  46. like. I work with a lot of people, obviously,

  47. in all this time. I like working with people

  48. that aren't duds. And thank you, Pastor, for

  49. the honor of coming once again into this area

  50. and ministering this good news of Christ. And,

  51. of course, you, my friend, have blessed me, have

  52. blessed my family, have blessed the churches

  53. that I pastored where you have come and ministered.

  54. Jan was the first one to take me into the continent

  55. of Africa. I see him in the sense of an opener

  56. of a door in my life and ministry, and I honor

  57. you in that way. I love you more than I can describe,

  58. and it's such a joy to meet Henley. I'm so happy

  59. to meet you, dear, and to get to know you better

  60. during this week that we're sharing together.

  61. Amen. You ministered very well, Brother Jan,

  62. last night. I'm glad Jesus is helping me tonight.

  63. I mean, I look at the schedule and you're following,

  64. following Jan Venter. That's just wrong. That's

  65. just wrong. Let me talk to you for a minute about

  66. what God's going to be doing tonight in this

  67. room. I was called to the Lord early on in life.

  68. Actually, the call comes before we know it, doesn't

  69. it? But I woke up to it. when I was eight years

  70. old. I got born of the Spirit when I was seven.

  71. When I hit 12, I heard the voice of the Lord

  72. speak very plainly to me about the first phase

  73. of this ministry, which would be evangelism.

  74. And then between that age of 12 and 15 is when

  75. he started talking to me about this dimension

  76. of the ministry, which houses divine healing

  77. and deliverance and things of that nature. I

  78. actually tell people that was doing pretty good

  79. until he talked to me about healing. You know,

  80. when he wanted me to preach and... being ministry

  81. and being evangelist, I thought that's just great.

  82. When he said heal the sick and cast out devils,

  83. I backed up pretty bad. Not because I didn't

  84. believe in it, because I grew up in a full gospel

  85. church that told me Jesus saved, heals, delivers,

  86. fills. That's all I actually knew. I thought

  87. everybody believed that. But my problem was I

  88. couldn't see myself doing it. See, he's going

  89. to have to change you in order for you to accomplish

  90. what he has for you, already set for you to do.

  91. So anyhow, that happened in my life. I won't

  92. go into the depth of that, but he established

  93. that. And then he told me, when the healing gift

  94. first began to show, he said to me, Dale, anytime

  95. that you minister on healing, because we have

  96. other things we do, the baptism of the Holy Spirit

  97. and other things like this. But he said, when

  98. you minister on healing, there will always be

  99. people healed, and there will be people notably

  100. healed, visibly healed. Can I tell you, I've

  101. never seen him fail to do that. So here's what's

  102. going to happen in the room tonight. People are

  103. going to get healed. Yeah. Not just prayed for.

  104. Or anointed with oil. And I believe all that.

  105. And I do that. We did it last night. And people

  106. got healed. But some people just come to get

  107. prayed for. Oh, don't look at me in that tone

  108. of voice. I haven't even gotten to the text yet.

  109. You know that. They just come. They don't ever

  110. really come to be changed. They just like the

  111. whatever. I don't know. the sympathetic feel

  112. of someone praying for them. I'm telling you,

  113. Jesus isn't here just to listen to a prayer.

  114. He's here to cure you tonight, to make a change

  115. in you tonight. Now, if you have that same kind

  116. of heart, that's what he asked the man at the

  117. pool of Bethesda. He walked up to that guy. He

  118. didn't ask him what was wrong with him. He didn't

  119. ask him about the history of it. Nothing like

  120. that. He had only one question. Are you willing

  121. to be whole? Come on, that's all he wanted to

  122. know. Because if you got that going for you,

  123. he didn't ask about his faith. He didn't ask

  124. about his understanding of the miraculous. He

  125. just said, I need to know only one thing. Are

  126. you willing to be whole? Once we established

  127. that, guess what happened? Someone got up and

  128. left there that had been bound there for decades.

  129. I'm telling you. Come on, are you willing to

  130. be whole tonight? Are you tired of the junk that's

  131. been holding on to you? Then tonight is your

  132. night. Really, receive that. Why would it be

  133. another night? It's not like he's going to be

  134. better by Saturday. You know, he's as great as

  135. he ever was. And listen, he's as great as he'll

  136. ever be. He's always been great. He's not getting

  137. smarter. Stronger, better, more capable. He's

  138. always been the zenith, the peak, paramount.

  139. That's who he is. Wow. Isn't that neat? Isn't

  140. that neat? Thanks be unto God, who always causes

  141. us to triumph in Christ Jesus. Praise God for

  142. that. So this is a night for triumph in your

  143. life and for healing in your life. You can have

  144. it now. You really can. You know, when he spoke

  145. to me about the way he wanted me to move with

  146. him in the area of healing, and God brings healing

  147. in all kinds of ways. And we need to value every

  148. way in which he does it. You know, Pastor indicated

  149. that I worked for a while with Brother R .W.

  150. Shambaugh. I did that the very last few years

  151. of his life. And when the Lord spoke to me about

  152. healing, he told me, this is what I want you

  153. to do, Dale. He says, when you... When you minister

  154. healing to people, when it's possible, put your

  155. hands where the problem shows up. You can't always

  156. put your hand where the problem shows up. But

  157. he said, when it's possible. It's Friday, isn't

  158. it? Is it Friday? You're allowed three smiles

  159. tonight, so you're good to go. You're good to

  160. go. When it's possible, put your hand where the

  161. problem shows up. And he says, and be very gentle

  162. and minister my healing. Now. I guess he felt

  163. like he had enough folks shaking the healing

  164. into them. So he said, I want you to be very

  165. gentle. And actually he used the word calm. And

  166. I could preach with all the energy I wanted to,

  167. but when I laid hands on you, if I got too active,

  168. I would detach from the anointing flow in my

  169. life. All right, that's how it worked. But it's

  170. not like that's the way it works. That's how

  171. I connected. Now, if you knew Brother R .W. Schambach,

  172. and I don't know if you did, not. Go to YouTube

  173. because YouTube's got everything. And what you'll

  174. find about Brother Schambach is this. Let's just

  175. put it all into this summary. He's wild and woolly.

  176. My mother used to say, you need to put a neck

  177. brace on before you let that man lay hands on

  178. you. I mean, he could slap the devil out of folks.

  179. And so people that knew me and knew him would

  180. say, wow, how do you two guys work together?

  181. I'll tell you how we did it. It's because we

  182. value the anointing and the gift of God in each

  183. other's lives. I'm generally uncomfortable around

  184. people that believe that the way that God works

  185. with them is the way, or at least the better

  186. way. And all the rest of you are just peons.

  187. What is that all about? I love every way that

  188. God moves. And when I don't, I repent. Yeah.

  189. Some of you are looking at me like, can I get

  190. my offering back? No. I'm going to preach in

  191. just a moment. It'll get better. Please have

  192. mercy on me. But anyhow, that's how the anointing

  193. flow was prominent in my life for about 35 years.

  194. And then I got up to preach one night, and it

  195. happened to actually be one of Brother Schambach's

  196. camp meetings. And I would take the opening night.

  197. It was what he called the Signs and Wonders camp

  198. meeting. He'd have three different camp meetings

  199. each year on the property in Texas. And one would

  200. be on Signs and Wonders, and then later in the

  201. year he'd do one on Harvest, and then he would

  202. do one on Leadership. This one was the Signs

  203. and Wonders. I'd been, my primary job was the

  204. planting pastor of the church there. And then

  205. I did the platform work for the crusades. I didn't

  206. always preach the evening services. I would teach

  207. in the daytime, but I would not always preach

  208. at night. But he said, Dale, take the opening

  209. night of this one because you always have visible

  210. miracles when you minister. And so he said, I

  211. want visible miracles on night one of the signs

  212. and wonders. Thank you. So then the rest of the

  213. night, we have other speakers that will take

  214. care of it. And he himself being in his 80s by

  215. that point would take the last night because

  216. he didn't do multiple nights. But you know what?

  217. you do is you save your best hitter, you know,

  218. once you got the bases loaded and then you bring

  219. them out. But so he said, take that first night.

  220. And I remember that night so very, very well

  221. when they finally turned the pulpit to me to

  222. preach, which was nine o 'clock at night, because

  223. they were having fun. They were singing, they

  224. were dancing, they were shouting, they were spinning,

  225. they were waving anything that wasn't nailed

  226. down. And then they introduce you to speak. Now,

  227. let me tell you, when you're in a high -energy

  228. environment like that, you can't come to the

  229. pulpit like you already have rigor mortis. You've

  230. got to step it up. And so I was right in step,

  231. and I came up, I remember, and I put my notes

  232. on the podium, and I touched that podium, and

  233. the moment I did, the moment I did, the Spirit

  234. of the Lord spoke to me. Not before, no indication

  235. before. I don't know how it works with you, but

  236. I never get invited to the committee meetings.

  237. It just gets thrown at me when I arrive. And

  238. so I got up, I touched the pulpit, and the Spirit

  239. said to me, Dale, don't preach now. And I've

  240. got to tell you, I was literally blown away.

  241. Because that's all I do. That's all I do. I mean,

  242. if you ever met my wife, Debbie, she's a wonderful

  243. worship leader, am I right? Plays the keys, sings

  244. nicely, has done multiple albums, and my daughter

  245. has sung around the world. My son also has led

  246. worship around the world. Just great, great.

  247. All I do is preach. I don't play anything. I

  248. was in a church one time, I walked in, and they

  249. didn't know me. They knew I... from promotion,

  250. but I'd never been there before. And someone

  251. said to me in the foyer as I walked in, I remember

  252. it well, it was in Illinois. They said, oh, it's

  253. nice to have you here this week. Are you going

  254. to sing for us? And I said, oh, no, I've already

  255. decided I like you. But I thought, oh, Lord,

  256. what am I going to do? He said, don't preach.

  257. And that's it. That's all I do. I don't sing,

  258. I don't play, and I'm white, so I can't dance.

  259. So I thought, what will I do? And so I had a

  260. steering contest with the crowd. I just looked

  261. at them. They looked at me. I looked at them.

  262. They looked at me. Oh, wow, that was really awkward.

  263. But you see, when he says don't do something,

  264. that doesn't mean dream up something to do. So

  265. I'm waiting for the next, you know, directive,

  266. and I'm not picking up anything. And so it got

  267. really odd. And finally, I stepped to the side

  268. of the podium and was actually afraid to talk.

  269. I didn't know if I should open my mouth at all.

  270. But I felt like I got to say something. You know,

  271. us preachers just got to say something. But he

  272. stepped it aside, and I said it just exactly

  273. like I'm going to say it right now, very softly.

  274. I just said, you know, I feel like God wants

  275. to do something really great tonight. And that's

  276. about the same volume I used, just like that.

  277. And when I did, the whole place jumped to their

  278. feet. I mean, they jumped up. They're waving

  279. hankies. They're shouting. wow, they are going

  280. at it. I'm like, woo, look at that. And then

  281. 40 seconds later, which is quite a long time

  282. for a spontaneous praise, I mean, it went on

  283. and on. 40 seconds later, they all sat down,

  284. and I thought, well, there you go. That must

  285. have been it. God wanted one more big blast of

  286. praise. Isn't he worthy of it? I think so. I

  287. went right to the pulpit, and again, the Spirit

  288. of God said, I said, don't preach now. And he

  289. said it just like that. And I, oh, right, well.

  290. I thought, well, we're not going to preach, and

  291. that's for sure. And I'm not getting anything

  292. else. So I'm just, again, here goes the staring

  293. contest again. And then finally someone over

  294. to my left, second row, I can still see him.

  295. Second row, almost to the, it was the last chair

  296. before he came to the wall. I stood up and he

  297. didn't shout it out, just calmly said, you know,

  298. I've been deaf in this year all my life. It just

  299. opened up. And I was like, wow, how about that?

  300. Didn't see that one coming. And then someone

  301. cleaned across the room, diagonally, all the

  302. way to the back. You've been in that room. The

  303. chairs were all the way to the back that night.

  304. Stood up and said, you know what? I just got

  305. healed too. And another, and another, and another,

  306. and another, and another, and another. In fact,

  307. for the next 30 minutes, God's power went like

  308. waves through that room. And people were getting

  309. healed all over. So the whole front of it was

  310. filled. And that building was about 50 feet wide.

  311. The whole front was filled when they were in

  312. the aisles of people that had been touched by

  313. the power of God. But about every two minutes,

  314. we were seeing what the scriptures would call

  315. a notable miracle. And then I got to preach.

  316. And we sent everybody home because it was done.

  317. What I didn't understand. was a transition had

  318. just taken place. I thought, well, that was a

  319. different night because every now and then you

  320. get a different night. It's not like everything

  321. changed, but it was just like, you know, once

  322. in a while he just puts a cherry on it. And I

  323. thought that was a nice cherry. So the next time

  324. I ministered, I called people forward to, like

  325. I normally would do in a prayer line. And I went

  326. to the first guy and I said, all right. following

  327. the directive of the Lord, I would ask them what

  328. they wanted to receive, and then I'd put my hand

  329. where the problem was, and I just, I don't remember

  330. what it was, but let's say, the guy said, I got

  331. an injury in my neck, and I said, that's not

  332. a problem, let me just put my hand back there.

  333. No, no, I just wanted to tell you I'm already

  334. healed. Oh, okay. And I went to the next guy,

  335. you know, and same thing, and the next one, and,

  336. but it didn't happen every night. It happened

  337. about 30 % of the time over the next 90 days.

  338. Sometimes I actually got to lay hands on them,

  339. but other times I would call the prayer line

  340. and they'd just say, oh, no worries. And then

  341. the whole line was just, no, I'm already healed,

  342. I'm already healed, I'm already healed. I said,

  343. well, that's nice. Praise God for that. And then

  344. over the next six months, that thing jumped up

  345. to being like 70 to 80 or more percent of the

  346. time. And so at this point, I had to have a little

  347. discussion with the Lord. And I said, Lord, I

  348. need a little help here. Look, and you must understand.

  349. I don't really care how he heals people, just

  350. so he heals people. You understand? I wasn't

  351. complaining. But I said, here's the deal. I don't

  352. even know what I'm doing anymore. I used to know

  353. what I was doing. I have no clue now. No clue.

  354. Debbie and I, we were driving to a citywide meeting

  355. down in Houston. A number of churches were coming

  356. together for a healing service. And we were driving

  357. down together. We live in the Dallas -Fort Worth

  358. area. And that's, I don't know if you know where

  359. that is. That's another country real close to.

  360. Texas, you know. And anyhow, we were driving

  361. down there and she said, now what kind of service

  362. is this? Because she's going to do the music

  363. and sometimes it's a Holy Spirit baptism service

  364. or an anointing service. And she said, is this

  365. a healing service? I said, yeah, this one's a

  366. healing service. She says, well, how are you

  367. going to do it? And that's exactly what I did.

  368. I just looked at her like that. She says, you

  369. don't know, do you? I says, I don't have a clue.

  370. I don't have a clue anymore. I mean, 30 some

  371. years, I have no clue anymore. And so I said,

  372. Lord, could you help me out? If you're going

  373. to heal in the room, I'm really glad for that

  374. or whatever. I'm going to lay hands on people,

  375. but could you give me a heads up? And this is

  376. what he told me. He said, Dale, from now on,

  377. when you come into the service, make sure you

  378. position yourself in the sanctuary where you

  379. can see the crowd. Because if I'm going to heal

  380. in the room, and that's what I call it instead

  381. of the prayer line. He said, you'll know because

  382. you're going to see, and they're indicators.

  383. I call them streams of healing that come in.

  384. And look at me. I'm not going to get weird on

  385. you. All right? Are some of you saying, oh, you

  386. can't get that weird here. I know. That's wrong,

  387. isn't it? That's just wrong. Can I still come

  388. back tomorrow? Okay. But he said, I want you

  389. to look across the room. There'll be indicators

  390. that'll come to you. And I call them healing

  391. streams. And I'll describe what it's like. And

  392. I'm not going to go weird, but I will. It's hard

  393. sometimes to take spiritual things and put them

  394. into natural examples. But let's say, and this

  395. is not what's happening, but let's say like the

  396. guy that's right here on the second row, about

  397. third in right there. I'll just look across the

  398. room and all of a sudden he'll just stand right

  399. out. He'll just stand right out. And I'll see

  400. a flow of God and I'll look over there and it's

  401. just like a, I don't know, almost like a shaft.

  402. And I look at that and I'll see, and it'll say

  403. cataracts. And the Holy Ghost will say to me,

  404. do you see that? And I say, yes, sir, I see a

  405. healing flow for cataracts. And that guy may

  406. not even actually need it. It's actually just

  407. an entrance point. And I said, do you see that?

  408. And I'll say, yes, sir, I see cataracts. And

  409. then he'll say, now let me help you with that.

  410. Because whenever I see it, it's very narrow.

  411. And he'll say, let me help you with that. There's

  412. going to be a lot of testimonies about cataracts

  413. being healed at night. But what you're actually

  414. seeing is healing for eyes. It's way more than

  415. cataracts. He says, so there'll be blindness.

  416. There'll be color vision problems. There'll be

  417. astigmatisms. You're going to see all kinds.

  418. There'll be great healings and strong manifestation

  419. in the way of eyes. You're seeing the cataracts,

  420. but it's more than that, right? And then I'll

  421. look over there and it'll be something else.

  422. It'll be just that way. It'll be just really,

  423. really specific, you know, very narrow like that,

  424. like stenosis of the spine. That's what I see.

  425. Oh, Lord, look at that. And then he'll say, yeah,

  426. but it's actually bones, Dale. It's all kinds

  427. of skeletal problems is what you're actually

  428. witnessing. And he'll show me about two or three

  429. of these because these aren't really words of

  430. knowledge for individuals. It's a directive to

  431. me. I know now that we're not gonna have to lay

  432. hands on people. So I look for that. And then

  433. he told me, if you don't see that, he said, then

  434. do the prayer line like I told you to do in the

  435. beginning. And I get to do that about four times

  436. a year, maybe six. I don't really know if it

  437. is six because usually it just sweeps the audience.

  438. So that's what I just look for. Can I tell you

  439. tonight while we were worshiping, I saw a...

  440. Three clear healing streams come into this world.

  441. So that's, let me tell you what that says to

  442. me. I think you already get this, but I'm going

  443. to say what it says to me. Jesus is here and

  444. Jesus is healing. He's not going to wait to the

  445. end. He's doing it now. Did you hear what I said?

  446. Now, because he's doing it now, here's what I

  447. want you to do. I want you to open your heart

  448. to it. I want you to listen to me. You'll walk

  449. out of here with what you open your heart unto.

  450. People don't get what they need, and they don't

  451. even get what they believe. They get what they

  452. open themselves unto. There's a lot of us that

  453. believe stuff that we're still shut up on. We're

  454. still asking the question why it doesn't work

  455. instead of opening our heart and experiencing

  456. it. Tonight, can I ask you, open your heart to

  457. the healer that's already here. When I see these

  458. things, he's not saying to me, this is what I'm

  459. going to do. He's saying to me, do you see what's

  460. happening? Do you see what's going on? I already

  461. know. And it's not, when I say healing, it's

  462. not three things that God is doing. When I see

  463. those, those are just indicators for direction.

  464. I'm telling you, every kind of miracle is right

  465. here, right now. Did you hear this? Every sign,

  466. every wonder, every touch, everything you need.

  467. It's right here, right now. It is. So I'm gonna

  468. tell you, just if you wanna, you see, they'll

  469. open my heart. How do I do that? I'm a how -to

  470. guy. I don't like people that tell me all the

  471. stuff I can have, should have, and how my life

  472. will be better, and then never tell me how to

  473. get it. Come on, I wanna know how to get it.

  474. Don't tease me, man. Show me how to get this

  475. thing, all right? And so there's, again, it's

  476. not like there's a way, but. Here's one of the

  477. ways that I find that works marvelously well

  478. for people. And that is, you got to start somewhere.

  479. So pick one out. Pick one out. You say, but Dale,

  480. I need six. I got it. But pick one out. You know,

  481. Pastor and I was talking about pheasant hunting.

  482. And this is what, anybody in here hunt? Okay.

  483. Here's what I know about wing shooting. When

  484. the birds take off or the birds are coming in,

  485. you can't shoot all of them. I don't mean legally.

  486. I mean, we won't even talk about that part. You

  487. can't shoot at all of them. You got to pick one

  488. out. If you shoot, if five birds go up and you

  489. try to shoot at all of them, you're going to

  490. get no one. It's not going to happen. You got

  491. to pick one out. When you get that, now you're

  492. in the swing where you're going to get the rest.

  493. Did you understand what I just said? I'm being

  494. very practical for you right now. If you want

  495. a miracle, here's what I'm going to say. Tonight,

  496. you need to pick a baby out right there. And

  497. you say, this is what tonight, this is what I

  498. want. Tonight, my cataracts will go. This is

  499. the last night that I'm going to wake up with

  500. plantar fasciitis in my feet in the morning.

  501. No more panic attacks right here tonight. This

  502. ends that. Pick one out. And I know you have

  503. many needs, but here's the thing. If you'll pick

  504. one out, what will happen is when you step into

  505. that moment, Because he will meet with you. When

  506. you step into that moment, you won't be in the

  507. moment where one thing can happen. Once you get

  508. there, you're in the place where nothing's impossible.

  509. That's why Jesus, if you pay attention to scripture,

  510. there's several things he did that helped people

  511. walk through a miracle. Several things. And one

  512. of them was what I'm talking about right now.

  513. The guy that was blind that was calling out for

  514. mercy. And Jesus kept going down the road, and

  515. he kept crying out. They told the guy, be quiet.

  516. This is very rude. Don't do this thing. Church

  517. people are still that way today. But they tried

  518. to quiet him down. And then the Lord calls him

  519. to him, and he asks him a question. You remember

  520. the question? What do you want me to do for you?

  521. And I'm thinking, hey, he's blind. Do we need

  522. a doctor here to know this? Really, do we need

  523. a prophetic anointing? I think not. But my mentor,

  524. one of the old Voice of Healing guys taught me

  525. this. He said, when you read the word of God,

  526. never read the word just to see what he said.

  527. Always stay there till you know why he said it.

  528. Because if you don't understand his heart, you'll

  529. never understand his hand. That's what he told

  530. me. And he drilled that into me. I worked with

  531. him when I was a teen. He drilled that into me.

  532. And so every time I read that book and I see

  533. him say or do something. I stop there and I say,

  534. now, why did you do that? And I'm not being critical.

  535. I'm not saying you shouldn't do that. I just,

  536. can I, would you please let me get into your

  537. heart on this thing? And I'm looking, I see him

  538. doing that. I see him saying, you know, what

  539. do you want me to do? And I'm thinking, Lord,

  540. anybody can figure this one out. But that wasn't

  541. it because people don't get what they need. They

  542. get what they open their heart to. Now, I'm asking

  543. you to open your heart to what you need. And

  544. by the way, he got his sight, didn't he? Because

  545. that's what he expressed to the Lord. So there's

  546. certain things I found that opens people's hearts.

  547. And that's the one I've already told you. The

  548. other one, and then it's extremely important,

  549. is it hinges on your response. We're all concerned

  550. about the move of God. But the truth is, he's

  551. always moving. He's always moving. I walked into

  552. a, I was actually praying in the leaders. before

  553. I would be ministering in his church. And he

  554. walked in and he says, oh, Dale, are you praying

  555. that God will move? And I said, in all respect,

  556. I said, yes, sir, but I'm praying that I'll move

  557. some too. Because I found out that he's always

  558. going. Our response to him determines what we

  559. leave with. That was good enough, I'm gonna say

  560. it again. Our response to the Lord of glory will

  561. determine what really takes place in our life.

  562. The hearer may be present, and you'll see someone

  563. not get a thing. Why? Response. You want to come

  564. into harmony with him. So as I'm speaking tonight,

  565. these things will be taking place. I don't want

  566. you just to listen to the sermon or just take

  567. notes. I want you to listen for the word. Did

  568. you hear the difference in what I just said?

  569. Don't just listen to the sermon. Listen for the

  570. voice, the word. because he will speak to you.

  571. Now, I don't know how that will happen, but he's

  572. an interactive God. Would you stand with me,

  573. please? When you hear, you will experience. That's

  574. how it happens. So we take this moment to open

  575. our heart unto you, which we've been doing. It's

  576. been expressed in our worship and our giving.

  577. In the way we've loved one another. But we are

  578. inclining our ear to what you're saying. Because

  579. you will speak peace. You will speak hope. You

  580. are speaking faith and healing in this room tonight.

  581. You're the almighty God. And the key thing that

  582. I ask now is that you would come manifest yourself.

  583. When you're manifest, the light of who you are

  584. shines upon us. The image of the almighty God

  585. impacts us. And we are transformed. And we see

  586. Jesus. Amen. Can't add to that. Sit on down.

  587. Praise God. All right. So you may see from the

  588. title, if they got it up, we're going to talk

  589. about the God who bears witness. That almost

  590. sounds King James, doesn't it? What does that

  591. mean? All right. The God who clues you in. How

  592. about that? Let me talk to you about the nature

  593. of our God. God is amongst many things a communicator.

  594. The God that we have is an interactive God. Please

  595. understand this about God. He's not someone who

  596. hides himself. He's one who reveals himself.

  597. That's the nature of God, all right? The nature

  598. of Satan is to conceal. That's why his kingdom

  599. is described as darkness. That's why he's the

  600. author of confusion. Satan is always out to conceal

  601. himself. He is a deceiver. Our God on the other

  602. side is always out to reveal himself. That's

  603. why the son of God was manifested, the scripture

  604. says. God is an inner, you must understand, he's

  605. a talking God. He's an interactive God. And it's

  606. always been that way. You read the scriptures

  607. in the book of Genesis and you'll find from chapter

  608. one and in the opening two verses, two things

  609. about, this is, and by the way, this is before

  610. there were men. This is before the earth was

  611. formed as we know it now. This is before there

  612. was any dry land. Here's two things that the

  613. scripture says God was doing. The first glimpse

  614. we get of him, he's doing this. Number one, he's

  615. moving. Number two, he's talking. Did you notice

  616. that? And the spirit of God, the Bible talks

  617. about the earth in chaotic form. It says, and

  618. the spirit of God was moving upon the face of

  619. the earth. I'm telling you, we have an act of

  620. God. We do not have a dormant God. We do not

  621. have to get him to move. He is moving. Buddy,

  622. try to catch up, please. He's active. Step it

  623. up. Really. And number two, he's talking. I mean,

  624. there you go. The very first thing you hear,

  625. it'll have to be light. And guess what? There's

  626. light. So he's never changed. When he created

  627. man, guess what he did? Every day he came. To

  628. interact with Adam. Walk and talk with him. That's

  629. what he was. And when sin came and brought the

  630. barrier, he couldn't stand for that. He even

  631. came after we sinned. Isn't that great? Come

  632. on. And it wasn't like after he sinned, he sent

  633. an angel down to tell us what a mess we made.

  634. He came himself. I could go on and on with this,

  635. but I dare not. When the earth is in men are

  636. in a state that they cannot stand before a righteous

  637. God. Then he says, you know, I guess I just want

  638. to be with you so much that. So he found himself

  639. a tent and got in a little place right there

  640. where his manifest glory could be just with us.

  641. And then finally, the word became flesh and dwelt

  642. among us. And we beheld his glory. The word.

  643. His name. You know, in scripture, you got many

  644. names for God. Am I right? You got all those

  645. great Hebrew names, Jehovah Jireh, El Shaddai,

  646. Jehovah Rapha, and all these wonderful, beautiful

  647. names. And every one of those names, by the way,

  648. aren't titles. They're insights into an aspect

  649. of the character of God. That's what they are.

  650. I'm sure you know that because you've got a great

  651. teacher here. But that's what they are. They're

  652. not just titles so we know what to call them.

  653. What are you going to call him? Fred? I don't

  654. know. Oh, no, no, he's this. He's El Shaddai.

  655. No, names were given to tell us something about

  656. him. And so, you know, I know we don't all know

  657. all of those Hebrew names and most of us can't

  658. really pronounce them right anyhow. But here's

  659. a name that we all know. Everybody knows this

  660. name and can pronounce it. And that is that he's

  661. called the Word of God. Now, can I suggest to

  662. you something? That anybody whose name is the

  663. Word is not a mute. Right? If his name is the

  664. Word, then here's what you got to know about

  665. him. He's a talker. That's what he is. You say,

  666. well, he doesn't talk to me. Yeah, he does. Well,

  667. not very often. No, all the time. No, all the

  668. time. Let me tell you something about this word

  669. of the Lord. Something that's, again, it's nature

  670. characteristic of the word. Number one, the word

  671. of the Lord is eternal. His word is not something

  672. that speaks and then fades out. Once he's declared

  673. it, it's always out there. Has no limit. Has

  674. no fall off. He said, let there be light. And

  675. do you know what present science will tell you

  676. today? I'm not talking about believing scientists.

  677. Do you know what present science will tell you

  678. today? They will tell you that the universe is

  679. expanding in every direction. at the speed of

  680. light. That's what they'll tell you. It's still

  681. happening. He said, let there be light and it

  682. can't quit. It's still going on. Now the scripture

  683. says he sent his word and healed them. Oh, I

  684. got news for you. It's already out there. The

  685. nature of the word is that it is eternal. Don't

  686. tell me he doesn't talk to you. He's always speaking.

  687. He's always speaking. It's a matter of tuning

  688. in and hearing that voice of God. Every promise

  689. is being spoken to you. Come on, every word of

  690. hope is being spoken to you. All encouragement

  691. is being spoken to you. His healing is being

  692. spoken to you. There's words that empower you.

  693. He's not mute. We don't have to beg him to talk.

  694. We don't have to prod him to speak. He's a talking

  695. God. Come on. It's the nature of him. He is the

  696. word. He's a communicator. Wow. And so the text

  697. I think they've had on the screen tells us something

  698. about God. It says the spirit himself bears witness.

  699. With our spirit. That we are. That we are. It

  700. says the children of God. Yes, but do you understand?

  701. You're hearing something about the way he is,

  702. the way he moves. The spirit himself bears witness

  703. with our spirit. And here it says that we are

  704. the children of God. But let me explain something

  705. to you. He bears witness with everything that

  706. you are in him. You getting that? Does that make

  707. sense to you? Come on. He bears witness with

  708. the fact that you are the head and not the tail.

  709. He bears witness with the fact of the truth.

  710. He does not bear witness with a lie. He does

  711. not bear witness with your fears. He does not

  712. bear witness with your confusion. But I'm telling

  713. you what he does. He is constantly, continually

  714. bearing witness to what we are in him. And when

  715. he bears witness with that, there is a supernatural

  716. resonance that goes on. There is a moment of

  717. divine harmony. when that which is so in the

  718. heavens has been heard in the earth. And there

  719. comes a synergy of walk in this where we are

  720. transformed in that very way. I'm telling you,

  721. he's the talking God and he bears witness with

  722. our spirit to what we are. Quit being down. Quit

  723. listening to the garbage. Stop believing the

  724. lie. Stop giving your ear to that which is untrue.

  725. Listen to the voice of God. He will bear witness

  726. in you. In the day and in the night, in the good

  727. day and in the tough day, his word is the same.

  728. And he bears witness with us. We're the child

  729. of God. Now that's how you know you're saved.

  730. Everybody. I know people pick up on it or experience

  731. it in different ways. Some people at church.

  732. You know, I grew up in an old -fashioned church.

  733. We had altars. We called people to the altar

  734. of repentance. They prayed through. They got

  735. saved. That's not how I got saved. I actually,

  736. I grew up in church at a time where we used to

  737. have Sunday night services and after the word

  738. of God was preached, we'd come as families around

  739. the altars and just pray. Not be prayed for.

  740. We just came to wait upon the Lord. And that's

  741. what I did. I mean, I came, I was seven years

  742. old. I just came up because that's what we all

  743. did. Everybody in the church did it. I mean,

  744. even the unsaved did it. We just did it. And

  745. I was kneeling down. No one prayed with me. There

  746. was no choir singing just as I am. I was just

  747. kneeling there. And he came to me. I could see

  748. it like it happened yesterday. And the light

  749. of who he was shined upon my heart. I got up

  750. that night. I left that place of prayer. I said

  751. to a young friend of mine that now pastors a

  752. Pentecostal church in New England. I said, Jeff,

  753. I got saved tonight. Because when you get saved,

  754. you'll know it. No one will have to tell you.

  755. Am I right? You won't be guessing at it. It's

  756. not like, well, I hope I am. Well, no, you know

  757. that you know. You really do. You know that there

  758. is a moment of witness. No one prayed with me.

  759. I didn't answer an altar call. That's how it

  760. happened for me. You know, my daughter, she got

  761. saved. We were living in St. Louis. And my wife

  762. was driving the car. Ashley was in the passenger

  763. seat. And really, a lot of times when people

  764. are in the car and Debbie is driving, they get

  765. saved. They get saved. Oh, no. We're not videoing

  766. this, are we? Are we? No? That's just wrong,

  767. isn't it? Anyhow, but that's really, you know,

  768. she got talking about eternal life with Ash,

  769. and next thing you know, Ash said, I'm ready

  770. for this, and she got saved right there on Highway

  771. 98, driving down the road, and the Spirit bore

  772. witness. And now they passed her in Las Vegas.

  773. How about that? Wow. Huh. He bears witness. That's

  774. how you know you got it. And it's not like a

  775. one -time shot either. I knew it the moment it

  776. happened. It didn't take me a week to figure

  777. it out. I didn't have to try it out. No one came

  778. to me and said, you know, what happened tonight?

  779. I said, well, I asked Jesus into my heart. Yeah,

  780. yeah. And what do you believe? Oh, I want you

  781. to know, I believe with all my heart, by tomorrow

  782. morning, my sins will be gone. Anybody that says

  783. that to you, you know they didn't get it. Am

  784. I right? It doesn't make any difference whether

  785. they fell down, whether they cried, or whether

  786. they shouted, or whether it was just a solemn

  787. moment. All that stuff is a wonderful, different

  788. experience from one to another, but everybody

  789. gets the witness, and that's how they know. And

  790. it doesn't take them a week to get it. Now, sometimes,

  791. some of us, when we got saved, you know, and

  792. we were born of the Spirit and came back, and

  793. someone said, what happened? I got saved tonight.

  794. They looked us up and down, and they said, well,

  795. we'll see. But you don't have to wait. a week

  796. to see you know right now because of what he

  797. did within you. I remember when I lived in Niagara,

  798. I was raised in Niagara Falls and I was just

  799. starting traveling and here one afternoon a knock

  800. came at the door and I opened the door and there

  801. were two guys there and they said, we'd like

  802. to talk to you about the Bible. And I thought,

  803. hot dog, look at this. I mean, I'm traveling

  804. all over to talk to people about the scripture

  805. and now they're coming right to my house. I said,

  806. come on in. You can leave your bikes right outside.

  807. And so I sat there for a moment with him, and

  808. we were quick into the conversation, and I mentioned

  809. the fact that I knew I was saved. Now, I wish

  810. I had video of this, because I don't think those

  811. guys would have been more surprised if I had

  812. taken up a glass of cold water and threw it right

  813. in their face. I said, I know that I'm saved.

  814. And when I said that, wow, the one guy looked

  815. at the other guy. The other guy looked at the

  816. other guy. And then they looked back at me and

  817. said, you know you're saved? I said, oh yeah,

  818. I know I'm saved. And they looked at each other

  819. again and back at me. And they said, we were

  820. told that you can't know whether you're saved

  821. until you die. And I says, well, you'll sure

  822. find out then, but that's a lousy time to figure

  823. it out. I said, Paul said, I know whom I have

  824. believed and I'm persuaded he's able to keep

  825. that which I've committed until that day. I said,

  826. Paul knows and I know too. And they said, we

  827. didn't even know that was in the Bible. Here's

  828. the deal. When you really get it, you know it

  829. because the spirit bears witness. Now I'm going

  830. to throw something out at you and I want you

  831. to understand. And that is this. If you know

  832. how to get saved. You say, well, I don't know

  833. about all this other stuff. I've been trying

  834. to get healed and the Holy Ghost thing always

  835. seems to evade me, but I know I'm saved. Okay,

  836. good. Look, if you know how to get saved, then

  837. you know how to get everything that God does.

  838. You say, no, no, I know how to get saved. No,

  839. listen to me. Listen carefully. If you know how

  840. you entered the kingdom, now you know how to

  841. receive everything God does. See, here's our

  842. problem. we do this kind of thing. We say, well,

  843. all right, I get this salvation thing right here.

  844. This, not a problem, all right. But now this

  845. here Holy Ghost thing over here, I gotta tell

  846. you, that one, I don't know, it just seems to

  847. go right by me. And then this one over here,

  848. this healing thing, okay, now this happens sometimes,

  849. but not all the time, you know, and that's your

  850. problem. Your problem is, is you think that there

  851. are multiple doors. To the kingdom. There are

  852. not. There's only one way. There's only one door.

  853. And the same way that you entered into eternal

  854. life is the way you enter into the fullness of

  855. the spirit and the divine healing. There are

  856. not multiple Jesus. There's not multiple ways.

  857. There is one way. And if you will open your,

  858. oh, come on, church. If you will open your heart

  859. to him when he stirs, nudges, and impresses you,

  860. when he starts bearing witness, if you'll stop

  861. backing off and saying, oh, I don't know if that's

  862. for me. I don't know if I like that. I don't

  863. know if I'm comfortable with that. I don't think

  864. that's really me. If you'll stop doing that and

  865. just open your heart and say, yes, come on. I

  866. resonate with the witness of the spirit. That

  867. you're bringing within my heart. When I see those

  868. healing streams, they come real narrow. They're

  869. a little stream like this. But somewhere in this

  870. message, that stream goes to a river. And by

  871. the time I'm done here, it's going to be a tsunami.

  872. And I'm telling you, honey, we're at river stage

  873. right now. I saw streams, but I feel the pull

  874. of the almighty God right now, right in the core

  875. of my spirit. Whatever you were desiring of the

  876. Lord to come up with, you say, I'm taking mine

  877. right now, Jesus. Right now, you need to do that.

  878. I asked you to pick out something. I hope you

  879. did. Say, I'm going to take it right now, Lord.

  880. Right now. I'm telling you, there comes a hope

  881. and a witness, an interaction between you and

  882. God. You need to look for that. It's right there.

  883. So he bears witness. He did it when he saved

  884. you. But that was just an indicator of how he

  885. works is he doesn't work one way here and another

  886. way there. He's the same yesterday, today, and

  887. forever. Let me tell you, he often does this

  888. when he heals people. I'm going to read a passage

  889. that I'll bet you're all familiar with. It's

  890. stories told by multiple gospel writers, but

  891. I'll read it from Mark chapter 5 and verses 25

    Mark 5 chapter mention

  892. through 34. It's a case where it was of the lady

  893. that had the hemorrhage, remember, for years.

  894. and she's going to get healed. Listen to this

  895. neat story, because you all understand, he bears

  896. witness. He interacts. There's a moment where

  897. heaven and earth touch. Now, a certain woman

  898. had a flow of blood for 12 years. She'd suffered

  899. many things from many physicians. She spent all

  900. that she had and was no better, but rather grew

  901. worse. Well, that's not a pretty picture, is

  902. it? Let's keep going. When she heard about Jesus,

  903. She came, oh, no, wait, look at that. I like

  904. that. When she heard about Jesus, thank God somebody

  905. was talking about Jesus. You all hear what I

  906. just said? See, we need Jesus talk out of this

  907. room. People need to hear us in the restaurant

  908. talking about Jesus. They need to hear us at

  909. the gas station. Oh, what's that? What's he doing?

  910. Oh, he's talking about Jesus. When she heard

  911. about Jesus, she came behind him in the crowd

  912. and touched his garment. For she said, if only

  913. I may touch his clothes, I shall be made well.

  914. Immediately, the fountain of her blood was dried

  915. up. And now look at these words. And she felt

  916. in her body. Someone say, and she felt in her

  917. body. She felt in her body. She was healed of

  918. the affliction. And Jesus, look at this, immediately

  919. knowing in himself that power had gone out of

  920. him, turned around in the crowd and said, who

  921. touched my clothes? Jesus immediately knowing.

  922. Now, that's how Mark records it. One of the other

  923. gospel writers tells us how he knew. It wasn't

  924. like I had an epiphany moment. Or I had a vision.

  925. I believe that in that stuff, but that's not

  926. what happened. He said, who touched my clothes?

  927. And what one of the other gospel writers tell

  928. us, because they were saying, there are people

  929. touching you all over. How can you ask who touched

  930. my clothes? He said, no, someone touched me because

  931. I felt power go out of me. Actually, King James

  932. says, I felt virtue go out of me. I quoted the

  933. King James just so you'd believe I've been in

  934. ministry 50 years. But he said, see, she felt

  935. something and he felt it too. Sometimes people

  936. think that the guys that feel stuff don't have

  937. all the fries in their Happy Meal. You know,

  938. they're the kind of the weird spiritual, you

  939. know, but that's not me. No, wait. She felt it.

  940. He did too. And he stops and he asks the question,

  941. who touched my clothes? His disciples say to

  942. him. You see the multitude thronging you and

  943. you say, who touched me? But he looked around

  944. to see her who had done this thing. The woman

  945. fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened

  946. to her. My God, it's here right now. I'm going

  947. to tell you something. There's some of you that

  948. know this is it right now. It's yours right now.

  949. That depression has just ended in Jesus' name.

  950. That fear has been broken right now in Jesus'

  951. name. That lingering pain and illness, it's no

  952. more. Do you hear this? A woman fearing and trembling.

  953. Fearing and trembling. He knows how to bear witness

  954. with us when we're not at the top of our game.

  955. When we haven't fasted 40 days and 40 nights.

  956. When we're struggling. With the promise. And

  957. we wish we could be like her or him. Because

  958. we know if we could be that person, God could

  959. do it. But this girl snuck up from behind. She

  960. hasn't come front and center. She hasn't said

  961. boldly, I need your time. She just snuck up and

  962. did this. And boom, it hits her just like that.

  963. And him too. And he stops right there and said,

  964. okay, okay, who did that? And she's like, whoo.

  965. And she backs into that crowd. See, we think

  966. God can do what he can do if we believe he can

  967. do what he can do. As if our belief enables him.

  968. I remember preaching one night and saying to

  969. the people this very thing, if you believe it,

  970. God can do it. And the Spirit of God said to

  971. me, right during the message, have God mess your

  972. message up? And he said to me, if you believe

  973. it, God can do it. And God said to me, I can

  974. do it whether they believe or not. And then he

  975. said to me, and what made you think I needed

  976. you to be me? Oh boy. I didn't even want to flip

  977. the page to see what was the next stupid thing

  978. I was going to say. What made you think I needed

  979. you to be me? And he talked to me about his completeness

  980. and his wholeness, that he has no need of anything.

  981. And so here you have a woman not of great faith

  982. that sometimes he commented on, but one who is

  983. fearing and trembling. And finally, she comes

  984. forth. Falls down before him and told him the

  985. whole truth. That's a strong statement. Oh, I'd

  986. love to teach on that tonight, but I can't. She

  987. didn't tell him all about the problem. She told

  988. him about the truth. She told him the whole truth.

  989. There was a resonance that bore witness with

  990. truth. So she did not focus on what was. She

  991. focused on what had come. And she spoke of that

  992. before him. The very thing he had witnessed,

  993. she had witnessed. They bore witness of it together.

  994. And then he says to her daughter, your faith

  995. has made you well, go in peace. And this is an

  996. interesting statement. He says, and be healed

  997. of your affliction. And I looked at that and

  998. I thought, what do you mean be healed of your

  999. affliction? She's already healed. I mean, am

  1000. I right? The flow of blood stopped. She felt

  1001. in her body. She got it. He knew too. But now

  1002. he says, and be healed. What's he talking about?

  1003. He's already healed. But you see, it's hard to

  1004. understand that in just the English language.

  1005. The original has a phrase, has a type of verb

  1006. that we don't have in English. It's a continuing

  1007. verb. It's kind of like that statement that Paul

  1008. will use when he says, be not filled with wine,

  1009. but be filled with the spirit. But we all, our

  1010. students of scripture know that. the rendering

  1011. of that is kind of weak in every english translation

  1012. he's actually talking about a perpetual thing

  1013. this is how it could be rendered but it would

  1014. be redundant and not in keeping with our grammar

  1015. structure but what he was saying was be being

  1016. filled with the spirit we don't ever say be being

  1017. that's not a word that we use but that's what

  1018. he was saying in other words don't be filled

  1019. with wine but instead have a life filled in the

  1020. spirit and when jesus said to her and be healed

  1021. of your affliction What he was saying to her

  1022. is what you got is not a temporary thing. This

  1023. is locked in. You're going to walk in hell. He's

  1024. not giving you a good day. He's not, you with

  1025. the migraine, he's not taking away the pain.

  1026. You see, you can take a chemical and get rid

  1027. of the pain for four hours. Well, it's going

  1028. to come back because nothing actually changed.

  1029. Jesus doesn't give painkillers. He gives cures.

  1030. You understand what I'm driving at? And be healed.

  1031. You hear that voice? Be healed of your affliction.

  1032. You don't have any pain now. Your blood flow

  1033. has stopped. But this is not the whole story.

  1034. Look ahead. You've got a whole life of health.

  1035. He bears witness. Sometimes it's a word within

  1036. your spirit. You hear that still small voice.

  1037. Sometimes it's like this lady gets a touch on

  1038. your body. You see, sometimes when he bears witness,

  1039. it's not always verbal. Sometimes it's a touch.

  1040. You can feel it. I have people tell me, I was

  1041. just, I got to stop because we're here already.

  1042. I was in Kenya just a few weeks ago. And when

  1043. I minister overseas today, not all the time,

  1044. but the majority of the time, I'm not in Christian

  1045. areas. That is, the areas that I usually go into

  1046. will be highly Islam. Highly Islam. And many

  1047. times, it's between 70 to 98 % Muslim. And we

  1048. had many Muslims in the service the opening day.

  1049. And one of them was the regional imam's wife.

  1050. Not the local imam. The regional imam's wife.

  1051. She listened to the word. She embraced the Savior.

  1052. We gave her the new convert material along with

  1053. many others. You go to my Facebook, you'll look

  1054. at it. You see, just scroll down a little bit,

  1055. you'll see that moment. And as we're passing

  1056. it out, I touched her hand. She went home that

  1057. night. She was pretty well together during the

  1058. daytime, but in the night hours, she just freaked

  1059. out. Every night for three years. Ladies from

  1060. the Quran would come, three of them, I mean from

  1061. the mosque, three of them, and they would come

  1062. and read the Quran to her all night long and

  1063. try to soothe her. She went home that night and

  1064. she said to the ladies that were at the house

  1065. waiting for her, you can go home, I don't need

  1066. you tonight. Her husband said, what? She says,

  1067. no, look what I got. And he looked and he saw

  1068. the new comfort material and he saw the name

  1069. on it and the phone number, which was my crusade

  1070. director for the last 12 years in Kenya, and

  1071. he knew who he was. So he calls him right away

  1072. on the phone. And he says, my wife has gotten

  1073. this material. It's got your name on it and your

  1074. cell. Does it have anything to do with your church?

  1075. He said, yeah. He said, but I'm confused. He

  1076. says, because my wife said that she came there

  1077. tonight and a mzungu touched her, which is Swahili

  1078. for white guy. And he said, you're not mzungu.

  1079. No, no. He said, we got a mzungu here speaking.

  1080. He said, oh, okay. He said he touched her and

  1081. something lifted up off her head. which shows

  1082. up, by the way, on an MRI, a brain anomaly. And

  1083. she said, I'm in complete peace. You can go home.

  1084. And he said, no, she slept all night long. He

  1085. said, she hasn't done this in three years. What's

  1086. going on? That continued night after night. She

  1087. got healed on Thursday. Monday, he calls up my

  1088. crusade director. Well, our team is standing

  1089. right there. And he says, this transformation

  1090. is so absolutely phenomenal. He said, I'm going

  1091. to tell you, Mike, I'm. I'm done with Islam.

  1092. And today I want this Jesus as my God. What do

  1093. I need to do? And he prayed him through to eternal

  1094. life. And then handed him off, him, his wife,

  1095. and his 12 children to a local imam that got

  1096. born of the spirit about eight years ago in our

  1097. ministry there. We've now taken him out of the

  1098. country to get a new passport, a new name, everything.

  1099. And now he's the one that goes ahead and he disciples.

  1100. The Muslims that come. But I say all that to

  1101. say this. Let me tell you something. Sometimes

  1102. it's just a witness within. And sometimes it's

  1103. a feel. Oh my God, she said something just lifted

  1104. off me. And by the way, they went ahead and got

  1105. an MRI before I left town. And the doctor said,

  1106. well, I can't find the anomaly in your brain

  1107. anymore. What's that all about? It's about the

  1108. God who bears witness. He bears witness and he's

  1109. here right now. Would you stand with me all over

  1110. the room? Your response to him, and this church

  1111. has a great responder. You could be called first

  1112. responders in the area. I've watched you worship.

  1113. But your response to him is key. And sometimes,

  1114. like the lady with the issue of blood, we've

  1115. got to push through some of our fears first.

  1116. You know, we talk about the lady pushing through

  1117. the crowd. And I believe that. I got that, you

  1118. know. But she pushed through a lot of other stuff.

  1119. The crowd, I think, was minuscule. I don't mean

  1120. it wasn't a big crowd. I mean, pushing through

  1121. the crowd wasn't the big deal. Let me tell you

  1122. what was the big deal. The big deal was pushing

  1123. through 12 years of disappointments. The big

  1124. deal was pushing through all the past failures.

  1125. She went here, there. This guy said, I got the

  1126. cure. This one said, no, I can do it. And she's

  1127. tried them all. And nothing's worked. Most of

  1128. us throw in the towel by then. They say, that's

  1129. not going to happen. That's not my lot in life.

  1130. She pushed through all of the fields. She pushed

  1131. through the religion of her day that said, you're

  1132. a woman and you got no business touching some

  1133. rabbi. Let me tell you that. You take the back

  1134. seat right over here and the health regulations

  1135. of her day. Talk about social distancing. Do

  1136. you know how far that woman had to be from the

  1137. next human being with that open drainage that

  1138. she had? It was no six foot, I can tell you that,

  1139. buddy. She breached the health regulations of

  1140. her day. She pushed through a lot. But then the

  1141. key thing she pushed through was at the end after

  1142. she got her miracle. This was incredibly important

  1143. because he stopped and he said, who touched me?

  1144. And remember what I told you my mentor taught

  1145. me. You know, just look at what he did. You've

  1146. got to know why he did it. And I'm looking at

  1147. this deal and I'm thinking, now wait just a minute.

  1148. I didn't tell the whole story, but I think you

  1149. may know it. He's on his way to a little girl's

  1150. home that's about to die. It's urgent. She's

  1151. not going to die in a day or a week. She's going

  1152. to die in minutes. You need to get there now.

  1153. But he stops. He stops because somebody touched

  1154. me. That's how the disciples felt about it. That's

  1155. why they said there's people touching you everywhere.

  1156. How can you say who touched me? Focus, focus.

  1157. Remember where we're going? Little girl, hello.

  1158. That's how they felt about it. That's what they're

  1159. irritated at. They're irritated at him. But he

  1160. stops and he won't go. He won't move. Who touched

  1161. me? And she's not stepping up. He waits long

  1162. enough that the little girl does die. They sent

  1163. people right there and said, don't bother. Too

  1164. late. Drug your feet too long. She's dead. That's

  1165. because they knew he was a healer. They didn't

  1166. know he was also the resurrection and the life.

  1167. There's nothing impossible with him. But he kept

  1168. nailing it, looking around. Who was it? Till

  1169. she pushed through her fear and stepped up and

  1170. said, it was me. Because when the bearing witness

  1171. thing happens, it's a reciprocal. Did you hear

  1172. that? When he bears witness, you can't shut down.

  1173. If he moves upon you, but you pull back, you're

  1174. liable to walk right out of the moment of your

  1175. miracle. If you know how to get saved, you know

  1176. how to get everything God does. You all know

  1177. that when he called upon you, when he convicted

  1178. you of sin, he pulled on your heart to come before

  1179. him. If you were to turn to someone and said,

  1180. you see the thing the preacher's talking about?

  1181. That's happening to me right now. Right now I

  1182. feel the pull of God, but I don't have time for

  1183. this tonight. I don't think I'm ready. I'm not

  1184. sure I can go that route right now. Guess what?

  1185. Even though he was moving on you, you just walked

  1186. out of your miracle. At some point when he bears

  1187. witness and appeals to you, you need to step

  1188. into that moment and say that what you are saying

  1189. is that which I'm embracing. That what you are

  1190. doing is what's happened to me. And that's why

  1191. he stayed there until she came forth. And when

  1192. she told him all the truth, then and not before.

  1193. You speak of faith, peace, and a perpetual walk

  1194. of health. Did I help you tonight? Do you understand

  1195. how this thing, that's how you respond, that

  1196. whatever he's saying, you go there. You don't

  1197. sit on it. You don't give it a week. You enter

  1198. it and you embrace it. You say, it's mine. Now

  1199. let's do it. Because there's healing all over

  1200. this room and it's more than healing. Some of

  1201. you are getting despair removed. Others are going

  1202. to find marriages healed. Some of you are going

  1203. to be free from financial terror. Why don't you

  1204. do this? The next few moments, the next few moments,

  1205. I want you to lift your hands, if you will, and

  1206. I want you to worship him. You know how to do

  1207. that. We can just have some keys in the background.

  1208. That would be fine. No singing. But I don't want

  1209. you to worship him generically. I want you to

  1210. worship him specifically. You say, what do you

  1211. mean? I want you to worship him for who he is

  1212. in connection with the request that you had of

  1213. him. So if your request was for, you say, Dale,

  1214. I'm pretty healthy, but I don't know if I'm going

  1215. to eat tomorrow because I can't pay any bills.

  1216. Well, then here's what I want you to do. No generic

  1217. praise. I want you to worship him for who he

  1218. is. Tell him who he is. You're Jehovah Jireh.

  1219. You're El Shaddai. That's who you are. You are

  1220. the one that provides. Come on, you're more than

  1221. enough. You're the Lord, my shepherd, I shall

  1222. not want. You're the God of great supply. You

  1223. never give enough. Never, never. You never do

  1224. enough. You only do more than enough. That's

  1225. what you're like. You multiplied the loaves and

  1226. fishes until there were baskets full left over.

  1227. Wow, that's who you are. You are the God. You're

  1228. not a God of waste. You're the God of abundance.

  1229. Come on, someone needs to declare that to him.

  1230. Tell him. Tell him who he is. Now, for you that

  1231. need healing, will you enter into it? Because

  1232. as you praise him, you know what happens. That

  1233. power of God interacts with you. That's how it

  1234. takes place. There comes the resonance right

  1235. there. Come on, you that need healing, tell him

  1236. right now that he's your healer. Don't tell him

  1237. about your problem. You've already done that.

  1238. Tell him who he is. Come on, tell him who he

  1239. is. You're the one. You're the one. I witnessed

  1240. it. You bore all of our sicknesses. You carried

  1241. away all our diseases. At that sacrifice. At

  1242. the cross of Calvary. By your stripes. Don't

  1243. just listen to me. Do it. Tell them. By your

  1244. stripes. I am. Not I can be. I. Oh Isaiah looked

  1245. at it. He said look at that. We are healed. When

  1246. I look at you I see healing. I see wholeness.

  1247. I see my pain. My suffering. My illness. My disease.

  1248. Dying. And put to death. At the cross. And I

  1249. exalt you. I will do it. I will say as the psalmist

  1250. said, bless the Lord, oh my soul. And forget

  1251. not. I won't forget. I won't forget. And forget

  1252. not all his benefits. Who forgives all my iniquities.

  1253. I needed that, Lord. I needed that. You've forgiven

  1254. all my iniquities. Oh, Jesus. And you healed

  1255. all my diseases. That's who you are. Come on.

  1256. He's bearing witness right now. I worship you,

  1257. O Lord. I bless your name. We say you are Jehovah

  1258. Rapha, you are the Lord my healer. You are the

  1259. Lord my healer. That's who you are. The Lord

  1260. my healer. You bring health and wholeness, completeness

  1261. and full function. Come on, I'm speaking these

  1262. things. Are you catching them right now? He's

  1263. speaking them. Full function and release. It's

  1264. right here. It's happening in you. There's a

  1265. lot of miracles happening, but if you'll allow

  1266. me, you know what I'm going to do? I want to

  1267. pray out the healing streams I saw. There's way,

  1268. way more than this, but way more than this. Three

  1269. that came real clear to me. May I pray them out

  1270. across this room? All right. The first one I

  1271. saw, and I saw it coming right here. Then I saw

  1272. it coming right at the altar again. Boom, boom,

  1273. just like that. I saw it, and it was healing

  1274. for digestive issues. And I saw it right here.

  1275. And I realized the digestive tract was all the

  1276. way through, but it was very narrow. I saw it,

  1277. and when I saw it, it looked like hiatal hernias

  1278. and acid reflex issues that people deal with.

  1279. I saw it very plainly. And I know enough now,

  1280. because it's been happening to me for a long

  1281. time, that I always ask him, so what am I looking

  1282. at? I mean, what I see, I see like a hiatal hernia

  1283. condition and I see acid reflux and what am I

  1284. looking at? And he said to me, Dale, people are

  1285. being healed tonight of every kind of digestive

  1286. disorder. Everything. So it's those very things

  1287. that I saw. But it's more than that. You may

  1288. say, well, mine is ulcers, or I'm dealing with

  1289. hemorrhoids, or I can't digest certain type of

  1290. foods. I would go into shock if I ate certain.

  1291. It's digestive orders. That's what I saw. That's

  1292. what I saw. Come on. Now, here's what I'm going

  1293. to suggest to you. There's a way you enter into

  1294. the miracle. One of the ways is you just look

  1295. for it. Not to have to swing in front of your

  1296. face. You know, it's just right there. And when

  1297. Elijah, Prayed for rain. You know what he did?

  1298. He didn't say, well, I sure hope it rains. He

  1299. said, go look right over there. Look for it right

  1300. over there. It's coming from right there. Sometimes

  1301. you just got to look for it. He didn't say, well,

  1302. look around. You see anything? No, he said, look

  1303. right. He pointed toward the sea. I don't know

  1304. if you've ever been up on Mount Carmel, but I've

  1305. been up there twice. You can't see the sea from

  1306. every direction. There's mountains, there's valleys,

  1307. and then if you look, there's a certain corridor.

  1308. If you look in that direction. There you go.

  1309. As long as it's not cloudy, you can see that

  1310. sea, and it sure wasn't cloudy that day. But

  1311. he said, right there. You need to look. Right

  1312. there, right there, right there. Whatever it

  1313. was, just look for your miracle. Come on. Some

  1314. of you, if you look at it right now, you'll say,

  1315. you're right, I don't hurt, I don't have the

  1316. pressure in my chest. Would you receive this

  1317. right now? If you don't have it yet, this is

  1318. where it's coming to you. And I speak it in the

  1319. name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I command

  1320. healing to take place right now across this room.

  1321. Especially in the digestive tract. Oh, come on.

  1322. No more hiatal hernias. Close them up right now.

  1323. No more acid reflux. Cured in the name of the

  1324. Lord Jesus Christ. No more ulcers. Come on. Hey,

  1325. people that know how to pray, you need to be

  1326. joining me right now. I release this healing

  1327. in you. In the mighty name of Jesus, be able

  1328. to assimilate and digest food healthily and normally.

  1329. Be completely cured. No scarring in there. Be

  1330. well. Be well. Be well in Jesus' name. The second

  1331. flow of healing that he saw, and by the way,

  1332. all of this is still taking place, the second

  1333. one that was in the chest. And when I saw it,

  1334. I saw like a heaviness, like heart or a type

  1335. of a respiratory pressure in the chest. But I

  1336. saw healing real clear was coming right in here

  1337. unto people. And again, I just simply asked the

  1338. Lord, what am I looking at? And he said, Dale,

  1339. there's every kind of heart and also respiratory

  1340. issues that are being healed tonight, even into

  1341. the sinus areas. All of that is being washed

  1342. through right now and being healed. No more asthma

  1343. attacks. In the name of Lord Jesus, no more emphysema.

  1344. Be healed in Jesus' name. No more respiratory

  1345. illness. Put your hands right on your chest if

  1346. that's you. Come on, receive the gift of God.

  1347. No more respiratory problems whatsoever. Breathe

  1348. freely. Listen, I heard him again when he said

  1349. to me, it's even tension that's caused from fear

  1350. and nerves or issues of pressure. Be released

  1351. right now from that heaviness on your chest.

  1352. I set you free. The demonic oppression that comes

  1353. against you in that way, I run it out. Out in

  1354. Jesus' name. Be completely healed. Your circulation

  1355. be healthy now. No more blockages. Be well. Be

  1356. well. In the mighty name, the holy name, the

  1357. glorious name, Jesus. Someone needs to own that.

  1358. Come on. You need to come out of the crowd and

  1359. press through and say, that's me. That's me right

  1360. there. And you won't ever be oppressed with this

  1361. again. There was another one that came right

  1362. afterwards. By the time I see two, I'm pretty

  1363. much done. I know where we're going. But here

  1364. I'm looking across the crowd and I saw bang,

  1365. bang right there. And it happened first here

  1366. and then it happened again over here. And it

  1367. was shoulders. It was actually, I saw the left

  1368. shoulder being healed. I had to look at it twice.

  1369. Look at that, it's the left shoulder. Okay, so

  1370. what am I looking at? And he said to me, well,

  1371. there'll be shoulders healed tonight. But what

  1372. you're really seeing is all kinds of skeletal.

  1373. It has to do with problems in the bones and the

  1374. joints, which is one of the gifts of God in our

  1375. ministry. It was the first gift that came, and

  1376. I've never been in a service where people have

  1377. not gotten healed in their bones. I was in Vegas

  1378. just last Sunday, and we had a high -level military

  1379. personnel person that got healed of a double

  1380. curvature of the spine in the service. My back

  1381. just started cracking, and everything straightened

  1382. right up. And then one of the school teachers,

  1383. He had a frozen shoulder. He could lift his arm

  1384. up this high. So he started walking up the aisle

  1385. to show me he could get it up this high. When

  1386. he got to the front, he got it up that far because

  1387. he was stepping right into his miracle. Did you

  1388. hear that? And he told us two, three times. He

  1389. said, I could only get it up like this, but I

  1390. was so happy I could get it up like this. But

  1391. he said, when you asked me what did he do, I

  1392. thought, well, let's just, oh, well, and then

  1393. here he was touching the ear on the other side.

  1394. He said, I couldn't do that when I was walking

  1395. up the aisle. He's walking right in to his miracle.

  1396. Come on, bone disorders are going to go right

  1397. now. Right now, all over this room. There'll

  1398. be no more curvatures of the spine, no more spinal

  1399. stenosis, no more arthritic. arthritis in the

  1400. mighty name of Jesus. I cause a creative miracle

  1401. to come into your bones and make them whole from

  1402. your marrow all the way out in the wonderful

  1403. name of the Lord. I give back to you now cartilage.

  1404. Restore that which was deteriorated in the great

  1405. name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I loose every

  1406. joint. No more TMJ. Be healed in Jesus' name.

  1407. No more frozen shoulder or rotor cuff problem

  1408. or any such thing. Be completely, come on, be

  1409. completely healed. Be completely healed. No more

  1410. results of injury. Did you hear that word? No

  1411. more results of injuries. Be healed. In the mighty

  1412. name, the wonderful name, the Lord Jesus Christ.

  1413. There's great healing. Oh, God, there's great

  1414. healing happening right now. It's not just the

  1415. three things. It's, oh, Lord, he's the God of

  1416. everything. He is not the God of three things.

  1417. This was just the directive he gave me. And wherever

  1418. else you have a need, put your hand on it. Say,

  1419. Dale, my bones are good, my heart, whatever is

  1420. good, but I can't see in this eye. Good, put

  1421. your hand on your eye. Touch your ear if you

  1422. don't hear in your ear. You got a kidney problem,

  1423. put your hand back there. You get what I'm talking

  1424. about? I'm going to go from head to foot, right?

  1425. Now I'm going to go quick. And all I'm wanting

  1426. you to do is look for the witness. Don't sit

  1427. there and say, I wish he would call out my thing.

  1428. Well, I may, but I'm really not calling out words

  1429. of knowledge. I'm just speaking out words of

  1430. power. If I get a word of knowledge, I'll say

  1431. it. When I get one, I'll say, oh, well, that

  1432. was more than just me speaking. But I'm going

  1433. to speak to you from head to foot. And I don't

  1434. have to speak your thing. I'm going to speak

  1435. the name that covers every one of these things.

  1436. And in Jesus' name, I say be healed in your head.

  1437. Let's start right there. Come on. Put your hand

  1438. there if you need a miracle in your head. Be

  1439. healed in your scalp. Have a healthy scalp from

  1440. this day forward. I'm going to say something

  1441. right now. Ladies that are losing your hair,

  1442. don't lose it anymore. Be restored in Jesus'

  1443. name. I'm going to speak now to the brain because

  1444. that's in the head. Be healed in your brain right

  1445. now. No more dementia. No Parkinson's. No stroke.

  1446. I'm speaking it out right now. I'm not calling

  1447. out words of knowledge. I'm speaking words of

  1448. power. No more migraines. Be healed. Be healed

  1449. right now in your head. Your eyes be healed.

  1450. Your nose be healed. Your ears. Here, now, right

  1451. in Jesus' name. No more deafness. I rebuke deaf

  1452. spirits right now and put them out in Jesus'

  1453. name. Here, every frequency normal. Every sense

  1454. of smell and taste perfect. Even have oral health

  1455. now. Get new teeth. No decay. Be well. All the

  1456. way through your neck and your throat. Be healed

  1457. in Jesus' name. Be healed in your shoulders and

  1458. in your chest. Be made well. It's the gift of

  1459. God to you. It's the gift of God to you. No breast

  1460. tumors either. You hear that? Be healed in Jesus'

  1461. name. Going from head to foot. Be cured right

  1462. now in the core of your body. No more stomach

  1463. problems. No more liver problems. No more problems

  1464. in your pancreas. No diabetes. No diabetes. In

  1465. Jesus' name. Come on, your kidneys. Be healthy

  1466. and well. In the name of the Lord. Now, I got

  1467. a real bump on that one. I think someone's getting

  1468. a kidney miracle right here. I do. I believe

  1469. someone's getting a kidney miracle right here.

  1470. Wow, I'm going to hang there for a minute. In

  1471. Jesus' name. Now, that's not me just speaking

  1472. something out. I got a real clear witness on

  1473. that one. You'll be healed in your kidneys in

  1474. the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You'll

  1475. not be on dialysis. You'll not lose the kidney.

  1476. In the name of the Lord, I bring resurrection

  1477. life to you now. In Christ Jesus' name. And you'll

  1478. not have the reoccurring infections that go on

  1479. in this. Be healed in your kidneys right now.

  1480. In Jesus' name. All the way through. Come on.

  1481. Your whole digestive tract. And your hips be

  1482. healed. Your knees be healed. Your legs be healed.

  1483. No more circulation issues. Be cured all the

  1484. way to your feet. In the name of the Lord, my

  1485. God. Oh, I feel the power of God. I'm going to

  1486. tell you now. In Jesus' name. No cancer. No disease

  1487. of any kind. No STDs either. Be healed in Jesus'

  1488. name. Takes away the shame and he makes you whole.

  1489. Be completely whole. No fear, no bondage, no

  1490. depression in Jesus' name. He's doing that and

  1491. more. Here's what I'm going to do. Wow. Do we

  1492. have a microphone? Can you help me with that?

  1493. All right. We're not going to belabor this or

  1494. go long, but I think what we need to do is we

  1495. need to do a little bit of what Jesus did there.

  1496. He said, who touched me? Here's what I want to

  1497. know. Who got a witness of the Spirit tonight?

  1498. And listen to me, I'm not asking who believes

  1499. the Bible, who believes in Jesus' name. I'm all

  1500. for that too, but that's not what I'm asking

  1501. for right now. I'm asking who got one? Who got

  1502. one? Because I know there are people here tonight.

  1503. You got that shoulder thing. You got that back

  1504. thing. You got that knee thing. There's something

  1505. got pressure on your chest. It's gone, whatever.

  1506. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to press

  1507. through and come right here. And we're going

  1508. to say, we're going to say amen to this thing.

  1509. No prayer line. We're not going to have a prayer

  1510. line. This is really an establishing line. Would

  1511. you come from all over the room? All over. I'm

  1512. only asking for people who have, listen to the

  1513. language I'm going to use. Evidence of healing.

  1514. You either have the evidence in your spirit that

  1515. you know that you know, or you got it in your

  1516. body. Because by now, there should be significant

  1517. difference in people's breathing and their bones.

  1518. And if you were upset here, it should already

  1519. be cleared. Come on. From all over the room.

  1520. There's more than this. There's way more than

  1521. this. You know he said yes. Now, you may be out

  1522. there saying, Dale, it wasn't healing for me,

  1523. but my fear left. Or my concern of finances left.

  1524. Or I got the witness of God that my children

  1525. will be saved. Or my marriage is going to do

  1526. right. Come on. Just come before his presence

  1527. and say, you know what? We connected. God are

  1528. done. God are done. And he's going to say, peace.
