-
Tonight's service has been announced and advertised,
-
if I can use that word, as going to be a healing
-
service. And I like that, you know, because when
-
you announce it beforehand, people, the idea
-
is for you to connect with the thought that tonight
-
is your night. Because that's what you have to
-
do. You know, you have to connect in your heart.
-
And become persuaded. Please say that. I've got
-
to become persuaded. You know, I don't have a
-
long time to teach. And I'm not going to teach.
-
But there's going to be a lot of people here
-
tonight that needs to be prayed for. And here's
-
what I'm going to do. I'm going to just do a
-
short teaching. Give you a testimony. I've been
-
asked to share my testimony again. And then what
-
I'm going to do is we are going to pray for the
-
sick. I'm going to invite Pastor Tony. And him
-
and Pastor Brad will be on this side. Me and
-
Greg and Renee will be on this side. We're going
-
to pray for people. And here's what's going to
-
happen. You are, there's going to be a number
-
of people that are going to genuinely 100 % receive
-
their healing. I mean, genuinely. Saw this morning.
-
Now, here's the thing. For you to become persuaded,
-
you've got to get it into your mind why. Very
-
important. You know, it's like the woman with
-
the issue of blood. You remember? Bible says,
-
when you read in Mark 5, that she heard when
-
she heard. You wonder, what did she hear? She
-
heard how he healed. Would you agree? That's
-
what she was interested in because she's been
-
suffering for 12 years. 12 years, you know, suffering,
-
hemorrhaging. And so obviously when the thing
-
that brought her there, she heard how he heals.
-
And you don't know what was going on in her mind.
-
There's obviously stuff that was going on in
-
her mind, in her background. You don't know what
-
caused the problem that she had. But, you know,
-
when Jesus stopped, said, who touched me? She
-
came out with the whole truth. She told him everything,
-
whatever that was. But you understand, when she
-
came to that occasion, she came there persuaded,
-
fully persuaded. There was no doubt in her mind
-
because she said, when I touch him, I will be
-
made whole. Understand, it's very important that
-
you get that. You know, there's too many people
-
that for some reason does not know how to connect
-
to the fact that it is going to happen. You know,
-
it's almost like the man that was sitting there
-
at the pool of Siloam or wherever. I mean, he's
-
been there for 12 years. Everybody say 12 years.
-
Do you know what you can do in 12 years? I mean,
-
you know, can you imagine what you can do in
-
12 months? He was there 12 years. And then when
-
Jesus showed up, he asked him an obvious question.
-
You know, do you want to be healed? He asked
-
him that. Do you want to be healed? You know,
-
I would have asked him the same thing. You want
-
to be healed? What makes you sit here for 12
-
years? The angel comes every now and again and
-
stirs the water. And then when the water is stirred,
-
whoever gets in there first, you know the story,
-
gets healed. He missed it for 12 years. And then
-
when Jesus said, you want to be healed? He said,
-
I want you to hear how pitiful his response is.
-
Lord, every time, and I'm not making fun of his
-
condition, but I can just see how, you know.
-
Incredibly, excuse me, stupid it was because
-
he said, every time I come, maybe he was struggling
-
to walk. He said, every time I come, somebody
-
gets in there before me. 12 years? You would
-
think that you would learn your lesson after
-
one year. You wouldn't leave the side of that
-
forever. Sit there and wait. Man, I'm not going
-
to wait another year. I'm going to make sure
-
that whenever this happens, it's going to happen
-
the moment that water stirs, I'm in. Huh? It's
-
like, that's the way it was with me. You know,
-
when I wanted to receive the baptism in the Holy
-
Spirit, I got saved when I was 12. I heard Pastor
-
Tony speak about having an analytical mind. That's
-
me. That's just the way my mind works. And from
-
12 to 21, I could not receive the baptism in
-
the Holy Spirit. They have prayed for me in all
-
different manners. They have shaken the life
-
out of me at some places. You know, and it just
-
didn't work until I made up my mind. See, you've
-
got to make up your mind. I made up my mind.
-
Never forget this. On a Saturday night, I said,
-
Lord, tomorrow morning I'm going to go to church,
-
and it doesn't matter what. invitation the pastor
-
gives, what kind of words he used for anybody
-
to come forward, but whatever it is, I'm going
-
to run forward. And then I'm going to let him
-
put his hands on me, and when he puts his hands
-
on me, I said this, I am going to be filled with
-
the Holy Spirit. I said it. I persuaded myself,
-
convinced myself, it's going to happen tomorrow
-
morning. So the next morning I went to church.
-
It just so happened it was one of the deadest
-
service you could ever be in. I mean, the psalm
-
service was so, you know, so being dragged out
-
was just, everything was dead. I mean, D -E -D.
-
It was just totally dead. It lost the A in dead.
-
And then the pastor, it just happened that it
-
was a communion service and he walked up in front,
-
dragged himself forward and said, will the ushers
-
please come? That's gonna come and help me. Yeah,
-
when he said, will the ushers come? Well, that
-
was invitation. I ran forward. I literally ran
-
forward and I went and stood in front of him
-
and he goes, yes. And I go, yes. But I tell you
-
what, he said, what do you want? I said, just
-
put your hands on me. And when he laid his hands
-
on me, that's the last I remember until I woke
-
up with my head under that communion table and
-
the entire church had been turned upside down
-
by the power of God. A revival broke open. Come
-
on, just praise him. You understand? Say it.
-
Say God is ready. Say it again. God is ready.
-
You understand? Whatever your need is, it's already
-
been provided. I honestly think, and I want to
-
just quickly show you this briefly. I honestly
-
think that people... don't really know how God
-
works oftentimes. You know, they still wait for
-
God to do certain things. Hey, listen, the way
-
I understand it, and I'll show you just briefly
-
tonight, the way I understand it, it's already
-
done. If you're going to show something on that
-
screen, can you do it in the King James version?
-
Do you have the King James? You know, just old
-
King James. It's very important to use the right
-
translation that fits in with my revelation,
-
you know, because there's some of these translations,
-
man, you don't know where they got that stuff
-
from, you know, because my revelation is kind
-
of different. Go to Genesis 2, Genesis 2. I want
-
to just show you, once again, say principle.
-
See, I want to show you how the principle of
-
faith or of, no, let me say it this way. The
-
principle of the completed works of God works.
-
Just in a verse here in Genesis, show you how
-
it works and then also the principle of faith.
-
All right here. So in Genesis 2 and verse 4,
-
we can go there. So it says here, it starts like
-
this. This is the story or this is the genealogy.
-
This is the story of the heavens and earth in
-
the day that God created the heavens and the
-
earth. Okay. And the day that the Lord God made
-
the earth and the heavens. And I like the way
-
it continues in verse 5 when it goes on with
-
and. Everybody say and. And I want you to see
-
he made the earth and he made the heavens. Look
-
at this one. And every plant of the field before
-
it was. Can you see that? He made every plant
-
before it was. It was made before it was in the
-
earth. So before it was seen, it was already
-
done. And so he made every plant before it was
-
in the earth, and then he made every herb of
-
the field before it grew. I'm saying it's already
-
done. Look at me, say it's done. And so the reason
-
why it was not seen, okay, It's in that verse.
-
Why is it not being seen? Because the Lord God
-
had what? Not yet. Read the verse. Not yet what?
-
Caused it to rain. Okay. He had not yet caused
-
it to rain. That creation needed the next phase.
-
It was done, but it needed rain. Why hasn't it
-
not rained? Because it needed what? Needed man
-
to show up. See, so he said the Lord God had
-
not caused it to rain upon the earth because
-
there was no man or and there was no man to till
-
the ground. So as soon as man showed up, then
-
the rain came. When the rain came, that which
-
already was will now manifest. Come on, give
-
God a praise offering. That's just how it is.
-
And so, you know, just to confirm that to you
-
in Ecclesiastes 3. You know, I think I used that
-
verse here last time in a different context,
-
but in Ecclesiastes 3, he's talking about man's
-
life. We are segmented by time. There's a time
-
and a purpose for everything, time to come, time
-
to go, and so on. You know, just time, you know,
-
short times. You meet your wife at a certain
-
time, and you say hello, and then you say goodbye,
-
and so on. That's man. But now when you look
-
at verse 14, if you're there, Ecclesiastes 3
-
and verse 14, he says, now with God, that's not
-
like that. With God, everything is eternal. Come
-
on, say that out loud. With God, everything is
-
eternal. See, with us, it's temporal. With God,
-
it's eternal. And so he says that with God, he
-
says, I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall
-
be forever. And he says nothing can be added
-
to it. Nothing can be taken from it. God doeth
-
it that men should fear before him. Now look
-
at the next verse. And that connects with the
-
Genesis connection that I gave you here shortly.
-
And the next verse, he makes it clear that you
-
guys need to get another computer. You know,
-
there's something wrong with the speed of that
-
thing. He says, now, here it is, verse 15. That
-
which has been is now. And that which is to still
-
be has already been. So he says, that which happened
-
before is now happening. And that which has happened,
-
which is still to happen, that which still to
-
happen actually already happened. Talks about
-
that manifestation thing. Just waits for that.
-
It's already happened. God is just waiting for
-
you to show up and to say, I am persuaded God
-
already did it. So all I'm going to do now, step
-
up, and it's going to happen tonight here in
-
Harrisburg. This cancer, and please don't claim
-
that cancer is yours. It's not your cancer. Go
-
ahead, clap your hands for Jesus. It's not your
-
cancer. And then just one more verse, and that's
-
in Hebrews. We're connecting these together in
-
Hebrews chapter 4. And he says, Paul writes it
Hebrews 4 chapter mention
-
like this. He says, you ought to fear. That means
-
you ought to be very concerned. If you are the
-
kind of believer who does not understand, God
-
already did it. If you're still one of those
-
that hopes and the enemy accuses you that you
-
have this and that in your life and this wrong
-
in your life and that wrong in your life. I had
-
a man one time when I shared my testimony, when
-
I was talking about they wanted to amputate my
-
arm. And I told the doctors, you can't. You won't.
-
No. You're not taking my arm. And so I called
-
a friend. I said, I just want you to, you know,
-
tell me a joke or something, you know, just get
-
me out of this depression. And he said, I know
-
why you are not being healed. I said, why? He
-
said, I think you have sin in your life. I got
-
so mad at him, I'm telling you. I told him, I
-
said, you know. We obviously don't serve the
-
same God. You obviously serve a God that has
-
a band of mafia angels. That when there's something
-
going on, he sends out these mafia angels to
-
come and break arms and legs. You better watch
-
out because your neck is going to be broken tomorrow.
-
You know, because God may be upset with what
-
you've just done for me. So, you know, God doesn't
-
work like that. You're not sick because of sin
-
that you've committed. Now, some sin can make
-
you sick, like stress and that sort of thing.
-
Now, are you there? I was just talking to have
-
you catch up. Now, it's not there. Hebrews 4.
-
Were you there? There it is. Thank you. Thank
-
you. So he says, let us therefore fear. That
-
means become concerned. Worry. Get sleepless
-
nights. Don't sleep tonight. If you are one of
-
those that don't understand how to enter into
-
God's rest, what does it mean, the rest? It means
-
he's completed the work. When did he complete
-
the work? Okay, we'll see. He says that he completed
-
the work when? Before the foundation of the earth.
-
It's done before time was already done. Some
-
things only manifested now. So let's therefore
-
fear. Let's the promise left us of entering into
-
that rest. Any of you should seem to come short
-
of it. And then in verse three, for we who believe
-
enter into that rest. Say it. We who believe.
-
What kind of rest? You enter into the place where
-
you know it's already done. You're sitting here
-
tonight and your healing is already done. It's
-
completed. All you have to do now tonight is
-
just show up like the Genesis thing. And when
-
you show up, the rain is going to come. Your
-
healing is going to come. It's going to happen
-
tonight. Come on, give him a praise offering.
-
Glory to God. For we which have believed do enter
-
into that rest. And as he said, I have sworn
-
in my wrath that those people, he's talking about
-
them in the wilderness, shall not enter into
-
my rest. Although the works, the works, say the
-
works were finished before the foundation of
-
the earth. It's already done. Everything you
-
need, it's already done. And God, all he wants
-
you to do is just become persuaded now tonight.
-
Even while you're sitting there, you're going
-
to receive healing. People sitting there right
-
now, there's got pain in your body. And while
-
I'm speaking, that pain is going to go away and
-
it's going to disappear. God is healing you as
-
you sit there in the place. Come on, let me hear
-
some amens, you know. Amen. Now, just... A quick
-
reference to my testimony, and some of you have
-
heard it, and so I apologize. You're going to
-
just have to hear it again tonight. But in the
-
late part of the previous millennium, boy, that
-
sounds a long time ago, you know, in 1996, I
-
fell off a four -story building. I was helping
-
a church put a roof on a building. I was helping
-
some deacons. And I'm telling you right now,
-
I don't like deacons. You know, I don't trust
-
deacons, man. They have all sorts of controls,
-
you know. I mean, they were underneath. They
-
were too scared to get up there. I was helping
-
them get that insulation rolled out. And a guy
-
down here was holding on to the scaffold. And
-
then flopping the material that I was trying
-
to get unhung from a screw. And I was going from
-
purlin to purlin. And I told him, now don't pull.
-
And he said it was by accident. I don't believe
-
him. He pulled it the wrong time. And I'm just
-
kidding. But he pulled me off balance. And I
-
fell off that roof backwards. And I fell inside
-
the building, the church, among a lot of rubble
-
there. And they said that people that, you know,
-
was there, they said that they saw me turn. I'm
-
not acrobatic. When I fall, it goes straight
-
down, you know. But obviously, an angel came
-
to my assistance, and I did not hit it backwards.
-
I hit it forward. My dad always said, Jan, you're
-
a hard head. And I think that's what saved me.
-
But the moment I hit the ground, I was dead instantly.
-
I mean, the lights just went out. There was no
-
struggle for air or something. I just went. I
-
disconnected from planet Earth. And immediately,
-
I mean, it was instantaneous. I so enjoyed to
-
hear, and I want to hear much more about. Brother
-
Tony's revelation about how he went to heaven.
-
God raptured him. God took him in through a spiritual
-
revelation and showed him great and marvelous
-
things. Mine was not like that. When I came out
-
of my body, I was in transition. I was on my
-
way into my eternal home. And it was just phenomenal.
-
I don't have time to talk about that part. You're
-
going to have to just connect to the other night's
-
message. I believe it's still on YouTube. And
-
so what happened to me there was just phenomenal.
-
But down on planet Earth, they had gone frantic
-
because I was dead. The ambulance station was
-
just three blocks away from there. So when they
-
called for the ambulance, he was there within
-
minutes. But it was already too late. and they
-
declared me dead, pulled a sheet over my face,
-
said, it's over. I mean, they tried to shock
-
me, you know, go through all that stuff, but
-
couldn't get me to be resuscitated. And so when
-
they declared me dead, an old man, my old friend,
-
he's deceased now, he went and stood there next
-
to my body and asked the ambulance man, is he
-
dead? And the man said, yes, he's dead. And the
-
old man wanted to know, say, how dead is he?
-
You know, and when he asked that, you know, I
-
was like you. I laughed about it, but afterwards
-
I realized it was a question asked in faith.
-
Do you reckon he's too dead for God? You understand,
-
if you've never prayed for the dead, I'm telling
-
you, it's possibly your biggest challenge you'll
-
ever pray for is to pray over a dead person.
-
Am I right? You know, that person is dead. And
-
so he asked the ambulance man, would you mind
-
if I pray for him? And the ambulance man kind
-
of jokingly apparently said, yeah, go ahead and
-
pray for him. So he went and straddled my body
-
and called upon God. Now, I was totally unaware
-
of all of this. I'm on my way. In fact, I was
-
just about ready to cross what I refer to as
-
the Crystal River. It was just phenomenal. And
-
I'm about to cross when he touches heaven on
-
this side and ask God to, you know, have me continue
-
on this side here. And all of a sudden, I go
-
into reverse gear. I mean, that's all I felt.
-
I felt a tug. And then the next minute, I'm back
-
here on planet Earth under a sheet. And my arms
-
are crushed, you know. I cannot move them. They're
-
all broken. They're floppy. Bones sticking out
-
here. And I'm in so much pain. God resurrects
-
me and doesn't heal me. I mean, I couldn't believe
-
it, you know. That's something wrong with the
-
whole picture, you know. the only thing I could
-
do is I cried out from underneath the sheet,
-
hey! And they said the ambulance man almost went
-
airborne, you know, because he was still standing
-
next to me. And then they went to work. Suddenly
-
they found out that my rib cage had collapsed
-
and they pushed a big pipe in here in my lung
-
cavity and put a machine in there, aired me up.
-
It was a funny experience. And so then... They
-
have to get me. I mean, they splint me up, and
-
they put me in an ambulance. You know, what happened
-
after that has got to be told. I got it in my
-
book, too. You've got to read about it. It's
-
in there. The whole story is in this book outside
-
there by the table. But they put me in an ambulance,
-
and they put me in there very quick, and somebody
-
don't close the door like they're supposed to.
-
When that ambulance pulls away, that stretcher
-
next to me goes flying out of there. the ambulance,
-
and I'm laying there, you know, with my arms
-
stretched out like this, and all I can do is
-
lift my head up, and I see the stretcher go out
-
underneath the wheels of a truck, and I said,
-
God, I'm going to die a second time here today,
-
you know. So then they... He rushed me to the
-
hospital. When I get to the hospital, the doctor
-
takes one look at me and he says, no, this is
-
too big for us. You've got to get him to Texarkana,
-
to the big hospital. And so they take a little
-
time to get me out there. And that little doctor,
-
I mean, he made some noise. He said, you guys
-
need to move now. I'm supposed to be airlifted
-
by the helicopter and then they cannot get it
-
started. You know, I mean, everything goes wrong.
-
And then they pushed me out of the little room.
-
And I don't know who didn't steer well. But you
-
understand, this arm here was already badly broken.
-
And when they pushed me out of that little room,
-
they caught this arm in the door. And as they
-
pushed out, they broke it the other way. I mean,
-
it just, just, I just heard the bones break.
-
And then I graciously passed out, you know. The
-
next thing I wake up, I mean, it was so funny.
-
I wake up, they'd been operating on me for more
-
than 12 hours, trying to put Humpty Dumpty back
-
together again, you know. 42 broken bones, you
-
know. And so I remember, you know, that before
-
all this happened, I'd asked, my wife said, Jan,
-
you've got to pray and ask God for patience.
-
You don't have patience. And I want to tell you
-
right now, never pray that prayer. Boy, I mean,
-
you know, when they did the operation, I came
-
out of there and I cannot move. And then they
-
bring food and I make the mistake to eat it.
-
You know, I've never been in a hospital like
-
that, you know. And so now. What goes in, you
-
know, the stuff nature is going to kick in. And
-
so I said to my wife, you're going to have to
-
help me. And she did, you know, she did. But
-
I also had blood that dried up in my nose and
-
formed, you know, hard stuff. And so I asked
-
her, honey, can you take your nail and just get
-
that stuff out of my head? Can you just get out
-
of my nose, you know? She said, listen, I'm helping
-
you with the food that's coming out, but I am
-
not putting my finger up your nose, and that's
-
period, you know. Now, you talk about patience.
-
They come and they come and clip my fingernails.
-
When I get to that one, I'd say, you leave him
-
alone, you know. That one has destiny, you know.
-
The day will come when I'll be able to reach
-
that nail. You know, a lot of stuff that you'll
-
see in my book that I don't have time to talk
-
about now, I do want to. share this one with
-
you and that is one day you know I was flying
-
from Houston to Chicago and I was flying Southwest
-
Airlines and sometimes Southwest Airlines will
-
turn the bulkhead seats into club seating and
-
so you face the person opposite you when I got
-
on the plane there's a man sitting next to me
-
that's being Spoken to by a guy across the other
-
side there. Who I learned afterwards he's an
-
evangelist. His name is Randy Caldwell. I didn't
-
know Randy Caldwell then. But Randy is talking
-
to this guy. Arrogant. Arrogant man. Sitting
-
here on this side. And he's got an answer to
-
everything that Randy is talking to. I just want
-
to have you see the picture as it was that day.
-
This arm is in a huge cast. and my face was still
-
badly, you know, out of shape. And this arm,
-
because of the infection in this arm, they couldn't
-
put this in a cast, and so they had external
-
fixators. Those are external pins that's sticking
-
out so they can lock the arm, and so you cannot
-
move it. And so I must have looked a sight, you
-
know, sitting next to this man. And so after
-
about a half an hour up, you know, 35 ,000 feet
-
in the air. I became irritated with this man
-
and I thought I better join this fight. And I
-
looked at him and I said, sir, if I was you,
-
I would listen to what that man has to say. He
-
said, why is that? I said, well, I don't know
-
who he is, but I think you should know who I
-
am. And with disgust and disdain, he said, who
-
are you? I said, I'm just a nobody, but I'm also
-
a Christian. I love God, and I can tell you,
-
sir, the devil hates me. Something terrible.
-
I said, he's tried to kill me so many times.
-
You know, just. And I told him just a few things,
-
and that really happened. I said, you know, I.
-
I was confronted by a lion. I just barely made
-
it through with a lion. Wanted to eat me. And
-
I am here to tell you the story. I said I was
-
in deep water spearfishing when a big 14, 12,
-
14 foot Zambezi shark came with the same intentions
-
to eat me. But I'm here to tell you the story.
-
I said, I was coming from California one day,
-
and I said my bus went over, I mean, I was coming
-
over a mountain pass in Paso Robles when I had
-
a blowout on my tire. My bus went over the side,
-
hundreds of feet. I bailed out at 55 miles an
-
hour. I bailed out, you know, and I'm here to
-
tell the story. And I said, just the other day,
-
I said, I fell over a four -story building. Just
-
look at me. And when I said, just look at me,
-
he looked. I mean, you can just tell he looked.
-
And he's really concerned. We're 35 ,000 feet
-
up in the air. So I told him, I said, Sir, I
-
just want you to know the chances are about 90%.
-
This airplane is not going to land today. I tell
-
you what, that guy changed colors. And it was
-
no pretense. I mean, he really changed colors.
-
And then when he finally reached white, you know.
-
he looked back at Randy and he went like this,
-
sir, run all that stuff by me again, you know.
-
Yeah, go ahead and praise him, my God. Oh, come
-
on, somebody just get happy. Just praise him.
-
Now, you know, let me get to my testimony. You
-
know, when... When they fixed up as much as they
-
could, the doctors, thank God for doctors. Come
-
on, everybody say, thank God for doctors. Doctors
-
does phenomenal work and help a lot of people.
-
I believe oftentimes doctors are an extension
-
of the hand of God for people. But they can only
-
do so much. And with this arm, they finally gave
-
up because I broke out with MRSA. And so what
-
they had to do is they had to eventually decide
-
to cut this arm off. Now, give me that first.
-
I want to just show you, and I just want to tell
-
you that some of these slides is going to be
-
actual slides of the way it is, and I hope you're
-
not going to throw up, you know. I was demonstrating
-
to a church in New Mexico or in Arizona a couple
-
of months ago, and the pastor threw up. Do you
-
have that first slide? Can you put that on there?
-
Oh, there it is. Okay. So that's the way an arm,
-
a normal arm has to look, you know. But what
-
happened is when they wanted to amputate the
-
arm and I said no, you know, I told them, I said,
-
you cannot amputate my arm. They wanted to know
-
why not. Because I said, well, it's mine to start
-
off with. And then secondly, the reason you cannot
-
amputate my arm is because it's going to stretch
-
my faith. You cut my arm off, I'm going to have
-
to believe God now for another arm and hand,
-
fingers. And they've got to match these. And
-
it's got to be a lot of faith to get that done.
-
You know, so leave my arm alone. And so they
-
said, we're going to go in there and we're going
-
to do the operation and see. you know, what it
-
looks like when we get in there and then we will
-
decide. I said, no, we decide right now. My wife
-
was there. I told her, I said, honey, you cannot
-
let them make you sign stuff while I'm sleeping.
-
If you do that, you will miss the rapture. You
-
know, you're not going to make it, you know.
-
So they, then what they did is they. cut this
-
elbow out they'd already tried prosthesis and
-
that stuff didn't work but so they put cut the
-
elbow out cut it off here and cut it off there
-
was you know quite quite a little more complicated
-
than before than ordinary because of other complications
-
but they did and when they did they put a anchor
-
uh i mean a rod here and a rod there and then
-
they put the two together and put an anchor bolt
-
in there so that I could move the wrist, but
-
I cannot move the arm. And so it sounds okay
-
to some people, but man, I'm telling you, it
-
just took me three days to find out it's not
-
going to work, you know, because I cannot even
-
tie my shoe, you know, it's just... I was doing
-
work with Brother Schambach, R .W. Schambach,
-
and I went to Brother Schambach and said, Brother
-
Schambach, I need another elbow. And I mean,
-
it was like I'm going into Walmart and asking
-
them, you know, for a pint of milk. You know,
-
for him, it's just nothing. I mean, nothing.
-
He just said, okay, let's do it, you know. And
-
so he grabbed my arm. Here on this wound. that's
-
just been operated on, and he's needing it, you
-
know, just while he's praying. And, I mean, if
-
you know Schambach, he can pray forever. He's
-
like Brad. I mean, the man never stops. You know,
-
he just goes on and on and on. And so he prays
-
and prays, and he is busy with this arm until
-
eventually I say, end your prayer, you know.
-
You're hurting me. I mean, just say in Jesus'
-
name, you know. And so he releases me, and I
-
get on the plane and go to India where I had
-
some meetings. And the third day, something happened.
-
I was trying to tie my shoe, and then suddenly
-
this thing snapped. And when it snapped, it was
-
like a bullet sound, you know. And when it snapped,
-
my arm straightened. And when I straightened,
-
I could bend and touch my back of my neck. Look
-
at this, you know, just look at that. Come on,
-
just praise him. And so I called my doctor and
-
I said, doctor, my arm started working. He said,
-
define working. I said, I told him, you know,
-
and I can scratch my neck. He said, Jan. Something
-
went horribly wrong. Don't move that arm. I said,
-
doctor, something went wonderfully right. Telling
-
you God gave it to me. This is what God did.
-
Give me the next slide. Show you. That's what
-
God did. You see, if you can see on that screen,
-
God grew this one down and that one up and formed
-
this kind of a joint. You can see it there. See
-
there? Just. open up that arm big enough to where
-
this bone could fit in there and then gave me
-
this kind of a joint. Give me the next slide
-
so you can see it a little better. You can see
-
those two rods. You see the rods? There's the
-
two rods. See how this is fitted in there? And
-
when I went to go and have the doctor take x
-
-rays, I said, what are you seeing? He said,
-
I see so much. He said, but the thing that just
-
blows my mind, I think your body digested that
-
anchor bolt. It's gone. You see it there. It's
-
gone. Go ahead and give him a hand clap. God
-
gave me that joint. And I went around the world
-
six, seven, eight years. maybe more, in every
-
part of the world, shared my testimony how God
-
gave me this arm, this elbow. And then two years
-
ago in Texas, Waco, Texas. Don't never go there.
-
I'm in Waco, Texas. And when I got up, I was
-
on my knees. When I got up from my knees, that
-
thing, I mean, all I can say is it like exploded.
-
It just burst into. Dozens of fragments. And
-
give me the next slide. That's what you see.
-
Give me the next slide also. You can just see
-
there. You can see there's nothing left of that.
-
It's all gone. Give me the next slide. I think
-
there's one more. You can just see there's no
-
joint. When I saw that. And when the doctor saw
-
that, he said, John, there's really nothing we
-
can do for that arm. And I found myself saying
-
to him, based upon what I taught you tonight,
-
nothing you have to do. It's already done before
-
the foundation of the earth. Go ahead and praise
-
him. Wow. Because you understand, what you see
-
there, that was taken while it's still in the
-
cast. Those staples you see there, that's staples,
-
you know, that they used. But there's no connection.
-
In fact, you see there? See, that's the one.
-
I mean, it's just like that's, you know, on its
-
own. And this one is a different one. Isn't that
-
crazy? You know, I mean, you see there? It's
-
just, I mean, if I don't control it, it looks
-
ugly, you know, and it just goes any direction
-
it wants to. I watch people sit there, ha, you
-
know. That's why when I did Arizona, I was giving
-
my testimony and I just showed them this. And
-
when I did this thing, that pastor just threw
-
up right over me. People cannot, they cannot
-
handle it. Listen, listen. God gave me the first
-
Nike joint. I got a Nike joint. It's air. Works
-
on air. Come on, give him a praise offering,
-
will you? Air. There's nothing that I cannot
-
do with this arm. The doctors, they're astounded.
-
They don't know how the nerves go in there. Because
-
at nighttime, I'm going to close with this. At
-
nighttime, when this is under the covers, and
-
if I don't see it, I don't know where it is.
-
I'm serious. If I find it at night, I'm going
-
to toss. Where are you? I don't know where it
-
is. It's just crazy, man. I'm telling you. The
-
other day I was trying to find my wife something
-
in the truck, you know, at nighttime and I was
-
scratching around there and something grabbed
-
this arm. And when I pulled out, this hand came
-
with it. It was this hand that was holding on
-
to that. It's just crazy. There's nothing. Listen,
-
let me tell you right now. We're going to pray.
-
There's nothing that the enemy can do. That God
-
cannot do better. Come on. Come on, just praise
-
Him. And you know, I cannot tell you, I cannot
-
even begin to tell you how many people with cancer
-
have been totally healed. Blind eyes have been
-
opened. Not because of me. Because it's already
-
done. People just come to collect. And so I want
-
you tonight, right now where you're sitting,
-
right now where you are. I want you to make up
-
your mind right now. It's for me too. If God
-
can do it for Jan, he's already done it for me.
-
See, before Calvary, before Calvary, Isaiah wrote
-
by revelation, not prophetically. He wrote it
-
by revelation. By his stripes we were healed.
-
Before Calvin. Stand with me, will you please.
-
Put your hand on your heart. And just give yourself
-
to him right now again. When you do that, just
-
give yourself to him. And just say it, Lord,
-
I give you me. I give you my heart. And then
-
I want you to do this. I want you to ask forgiveness
-
from the Lord. I just believe in that. Why don't
-
you just right now just ask God to forgive you
-
of any sin. No matter what's being involved in
-
your life, He's willing and able to forgive you.
-
If we confess our sin, He's faithful and just
-
to forgive us of all our sin and cleanse us.
-
From all our unrighteousness. So right now in
-
the name of Jesus. Say it. Say it out loud. Say
-
Jesus. I now receive my forgiveness. And I give
-
you me. Interested in hearing other podcasts
