Saturday Message - Dr. Yan Venter (October 01, 2016) | Life Bible Church

wonderful. It's always wonderful to gather together,

to be in the Lord's presence. Whether you realize

it or not, you know, sometimes we can get into

the mode of, oh, now we're going to go to church

again. You know, and I have to, from time to

time, you know, I've been in hundreds if not

thousands of meetings over the course of my life.

And I have to remind myself because my soul,

sometimes gets a little unruly, my spirit always

rejoices being in the presence of the Lord. There's

never a time that my spirit doesn't say, yes,

I want to be in the presence and in the house

of the Lord where he's at to worship him, to

love those and to just be in the camaraderie.

And tonight is one of those special times where

we come to the house of the Lord and things change.

transformation power of the Holy Spirit and worship,

deep calling to deep and seeing the Word of God

take shape inside of us and also the outward

manifestations of the Kingdom of God where there's

tangible ministry of the Holy Spirit bringing

healing and bringing life to those that are bound

in freedom. Tonight it's always a privilege to

have my friend Dr. Jan Venter here with us. And

I know that you guys enjoy him too. Would you

just give him a Life Bible welcome and tell him

that we love him, love his ministry we receive

from him tonight. Thank you very much. Last night

I spoke to you about fear, and fear is a terrible

thing. Look at somebody and say, fear is a terrible

thing. You know, a lot of times when people expect,

Something that is generated by and through fear.

Guess what? It shows up. Job says, what I feared

is what came upon me. And just a little humor

to start off with. I read about this man whose

wife forever heard that there's a burglar in

the house. Almost every week. She'd wake him

up sometime in the middle of the night. This.

I hear something in the house. Go and check.

There's a burglar. Honey, and I mean, she had

him put on the best kind of security systems,

but it never helped. That fear had her going

night after night, really year after year. He

finally got tired of this, and he said, honey,

I'm not going to get up anymore. There's no burglar.

And she'd still say, well. I am not going to

let you sleep until you go, I hear something

there. He got up one more time and he said, well,

I'll try one more time. But there's really nothing

there. And so he went and checked and got into

bed and said, honey, please stop this. So it

went good for a week and she woke him up again.

There's somebody in the house. Honey, please

let me sleep. She said, listen, you need to go

and check. I'm telling you, there's somebody

in the house. So he got up one more time, walks

down the stairways, and halfway down, he walks

face up into a double barrel shotgun. The thief

stuck the gun in his face and said, I know you

have a safe. Go and open the safe. And, you know,

he robbed him. From all his cash. And so while

he's packing all the cash. The robber says. Now

don't worry. I'm not going to take your life.

I just want the money. So he takes the bag ready

to go. And the robber says. Well I'll see you

next time. He said no, no, no. You cannot leave.

Why? He says you've got to meet my wife. She's

been expecting you for 10 years. And so. You

know, sometimes we generate things by fear. You

know, some of our books are on the table there.

You've got to go and look at them. You know,

this one here, people ask me for the longest

time to put some of my stories in book form.

And so what I did is I designed this one in a

short story form. Really, it's designed as bathroom

reading material. So you can just go sit there

in the bathroom every morning and just read a

nice story. Some of them will make you laugh.

Some will fire you up and so on. But there's

some great stories in here. The title is You

Won't Believe This. Now what I did is I signed

this one, which makes it much more valuable.

Anybody on this side wants it? Over there, that

lady there. This one here is something that we

find pastors now are ordering it by the boxfuls,

you know, boxes full, and handing it out to their

church people because it deals with the orphan

spirit in the world. And you've got to get your

hands on one of these books. I'm telling you.

I mean, even if you cannot pay for it, go and

take it for free. But you've got to get yourself.

Now, don't everybody go and say, I cannot pay,

you know. Go and get this book and read it. And

then, you know, let your children read it. It's

just a phenomenal revelation about what is going

on and how you can actually heal that one. I

signed this one also. I mean, it's become real

valuable. Anyway, come and get it. You come and

get it here. That way it's in your hand. Thank

you. Oh, you are so welcome. God bless you. God

bless you. Take your Bibles, please, and turn

with me to the book of John. Book of John. Tonight

we're going to have a healing service. Come on,

can I hear an amen? We're going to have a healing

service. When Pastor told me that tonight is

a healing service night, I kind of smiled on

the other side. He didn't know it because we

were on the telephone. When he asked me, Jan,

does God still use you in healing? Well, you

know, does cows have milk? You know, healing

is the bread of the children. But I know what

he meant. You know, I've gone through so much.

And tomorrow morning I'll just show you maybe

a slide or two of what had happened. And Pastor

was obviously basing it on that. You know, this

last year since I've been with you, my elbow,

this left elbow just exploded. That's the best

word I can use. The elbow exploded. I mean, the

elbow God gave me. Just totally disintegrated.

And I didn't do anything. I was on my knees when

I got up. I pushed down to get myself up. And

when I did that, this thing just popped. And

went into dozens of small little pieces, fragments.

And I'll show you that tomorrow. So right now,

this arm doesn't have any elbow. There's no elbow.

I mean, zero elbow. It's like, you know, it can

bend any direction. I mean, it can go. I mean,

there's literally no elbow. I mean, there's no

joint. There's nothing that connects. You see

this arm here and that one there. Look, it's

different. You see, it's two different ones.

And God makes this thing work. You know, the

other one was like a hip joint. This one is a

Nike joint, air joint. Praise God. But tonight

is going to be your chance. Say, it's my time.

You know, what you have to do is you have to

say to yourself tonight, I'm going to unlock

the Word in my life. Because you understand,

whenever the Word is unlocked or released in

a person's life, the supernatural is going to

follow. But what you have to do at the end of

the service and even throughout the service,

as I preach, is like Sister Pentecost when God

healed her knees last night. What she did is

she received it. You understand? You must receive.

You must say to yourself, even right now, you

have to say to yourself, this is my night. This

is my night. For years and years and years, I

wanted the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Couldn't

get the baptism in the Holy Spirit. And until

this one day, I remember praying, I'm not going

to go home without the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

The pastor of that church didn't know about my

decision what I was going to do. And that pastor

is right here. That's John Hitchcock. Just wave

at them, John. He was the pastor of the church

that time. And I'm sitting there and I'm saying

to myself, I mean, before I went to church, I'm

not going to go without receiving the baptism

in the Holy Spirit. And I said, whatever. Invitation

or altar call is given. Or anything that relates

even. You know, slightly relates to it. I'm going

to go forward and receive the baptism in the

Holy Spirit. That morning just happened to be

a communion service. And we had our worship service.

And I'm sitting there, pins and needles, ready

to go. And the pastor says to the deacons, those

that's going to help me serve the communion,

will you please come forward? Well, I'm the first

one up. And I ran forward, stood in front of

the table, and I said, he said, what do you need?

I said, I want the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

And we never, as far as I remember, ever had

communion. Revival broke open that morning. God

touched not only me, but touched other people.

Go ahead and give him a hand, give him a praise.

When you release, when you release the word in

your life, Something supernatural is going to

happen. And you got to say to yourself here tonight,

this is my night. Come on, can you do that? This

is my night. I'm not going to preach long. I

want to just preach until it's done. And in John

John 4 · chapter mention

chapter 4, Jesus had just come back out of his

hometown where no miracles had happened. No miracles,

because they did not accept him. You have to

accept. You have to believe in the one whom God

has sent. And so nothing happened. Now, after

two days, now verse 43. Chapter 4, John 4, 43.

After two days he departed from there and went

into Galilee. And the Bible says in 45. Then

when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans

received him. That's a big secret. They received

him. They opened their hearts. Do you understand?

How many of you agree that with God there's nothing

impossible? Come on, let me hear a better amen.

So all you have to do is you just have to release.

The word into your life. You've got it all locked

up. You've got it all protected. All you have

to do is release it because it's there to do

the miracle. And so in verse 46, so Jesus came

again into Cana of Galilee where he made the

water into wine. And there was a certain noble

man whose son was sick. at Capernaum, and when

he heard that Jesus was coming out of Judea into

Galilee, he went unto him and besought him that

he would come down and heal his son, for he was

at the point of death. Then said Jesus to him,

except you see signs and wonders you don't believe.

You understand, there's a lot of people that

wants to just receive a miracle based on what

they see. What you have to do, and here's the

key tonight, unlock the Word. Come on, let me

say that again. Unlock the Word. You don't have

to wait for a miracle right now. Even while I'm

preaching, God can perform a miracle right there

in your life. Amen? And whatever you have need

of, God is going to heal you tonight. Come on,

say it. God's going to heal me tonight. I'm not

trying to psych you up. I'm just stating a fact.

If you can believe, all things are possible to

them that believe. Come on, help me preach. And

so he said, you don't believe except you see

signs. And so the nobleman said to him, sir,

please come down before my child die. And Jesus

said to him, go thy way, thy son liveth. I want

you to see what's happening here. Jesus unlocked

faith towards him. Just spoke it. Just said it.

Here it is. He's unlocking. He's bringing it

out of the prison cell, you know, that so oftentimes

keeping people separated from miracles. He said,

go your way. Your son liveth. And the man believed

the word. You understand? That's the key. You've

got to believe the word. Now, chapter 5. After

this, there was a feast of the Jews. Jesus went

up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by

the sheep market a pool, which is called in the

Hebrew tongue Bethesda. Bethsaida, some says.

Having five porches. And in these, lay a great

multitude of impotent folk, blind, halt, withering,

waiting for the moving of the water. Now, I want

you to just see this for a moment. I want you

to see a crowd of miserable people, and for them,

Their miracle was all locked up until one stirring

of the water and then was over again. Locked

up. Blind people. Horribly sick people. Bible

says it was a great crowd. A great multitude.

And nothing was happening for most of them. In

fact, you know the story of a certain man in

verse 5 that was there which had an infirmity

there for 30 years. and 8 years. And when Jesus

saw him lie and knew that he had been there a

long time in that case, asked him, do you want

to be healed? Can you imagine? Just imagine this

for a moment. 38 years. Can you imagine what

you can achieve in 38 years? Can you imagine

what kind of fortune you can amass in 38 years.

Can you imagine how many homes you can build

in 38 years? Can you just imagine how much learning

you can acquire in 38 years? 38 years! His miracle

remained locked up. Now, Jesus shows up asking

him, do you want to be healed? You know, you

can sometimes wonder, why did he say that? Well,

because, I mean, you know, the man told Jesus,

you know, every time he says, when I come, somebody

else gets in before me. 38 years! You would imagine

this man would go and sit there on the very edge.

I've missed it once. I've missed it 20 times.

I've missed it 40 times, but I'm not going to

let this moment pass me by again. That's why

Jesus asked him, do you think you want to be

healed? And then I want you to see how Jesus

unlocks faith for him. When he says to the man,

and I'm done reading now, he said to the man,

he said to him in verse 8, Rise, take up thy

bed, and walk. And the Bible says that immediately

the man was made whole. The man was healed immediately.

Now, you know, you can sit there and listen to

this as just another sermon, or you can be allowing

the Holy Spirit to inspire you. into unlocking

the Word in your life tonight? How many of you

believe that He is the healer? How many of you

believe that He is here to heal you tonight?

How many of you believe that He's the same yesterday,

today, and forevermore? Come on, put those hands

up real high. You understand, we all believe

it. How many of you believe that He's not the

healer? You understand, there's not a single

person here that does not believe that he's a

healer. But so many people do not see miracles.

They don't see healing. Because what has happened,

Brother John, they have the word locked up. It's

like a lion in a cage. They've got the lion all

locked up. And I'll tell you what, they will

protect their faith. They will protect what they

believe about miracles. Somebody ever dared to

tell them that they don't believe in miracles.

Oh, they can quote scripture. They can testify

about other people's healings. But the fact of

the matter is their lion is locked up in a cage.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon said this about the lion.

He says, the word of God can take care of itself

and will do so if we preach it or if we receive

it and cease defending it. See you, that lion?

They have caged him for his preservation. They've

shut him up behind iron bars to secure him from

his foes. See how a band of armed men have gathered

together to protect the lion. What a clatter

they make with their swords and their spiritual

weapons. These mighty men are intent upon defending

such a lion. Oh, fools and slow of heart, open

that. door. Let the Lord of the forest come forth

free. Who will dare to encounter him? What does

he want with your guardian care? Let the pure

gospel go forth in all its line like majesty

and it will soon clear its own way and ease itself

into your life and the supernatural will follow.

Come on. Give God a handclub of praise. Let that

lion loose. It is there. It's in your life. God

has given every man a measure of faith. It's

there. It stands like a tower in your life. Every

promise is yours. Every chapter, every verse,

every line. He is not a man that he should lie.

Neither the son of man that he would say something

and repent. He is what he says he is. Let that

lion loose. And see how he will defy every lie

of the enemy in your body. And when the doctor

says that this cannot happen, just watch what

happens when that lie is let loose in your body.

And I'm telling you, the miraculous will happen

every time. Come on, give him another praise

offering. Glory to God. Somebody give him another

praise offering. I feel this. Glory to God. Hallelujah.

I feel it. You know, I tell you what, I get excited.

Last night somebody asked me, do you still get

nervous when you preach? I get nervous every

time I preach. I get nervous every time, especially

when I know God is about to do a miracle. God

is about to use me in the supernatural. Last

night when I talked about Richard somewhere up

there, and I had it just wrong, a lady right

behind that lady said, it was all for me. I'm

sitting there and I'm saying, that's my son that

he's talking about. There she is. It was all

for her. I know that whenever you let the lion

out of the cage, Something marvelous is going

to happen. And those of you that have something

that needs to happen in your body, raise your

hands tonight. If you say, I'm sick and I need

a mercy. Boy, Lord, have mercy. This is a sick

church. So many sick people. I'm kidding. You

know. You wonder sometimes, what are those things

that keeps my lion locked up? What are those

things? You know, because you're sitting here

and you never cease to believe. You know, all

of us, we believe. But you know, when you read

the book of Hebrews, then you find out that Paul

writes, And he says in chapter 2, and he talks

about, you know, what God had actually done for

us. How he set us over all the works of his hands.

And he said he made us a little lower than angels.

And he crowned us with glory and with honor.

And he goes on to explain everything that God

had done. And then in verse 8 of chapter 2, he

says, but we don't yet see all things. It's like,

you know, you're sitting there, you know, all

these things, but now the doctor told you it's

cancer. Or the doctor told you it's some incurable

disease. Or the doctor told you that it's something

that they will not be able to fix up again. And

you're sitting there and you wonder what's going

to happen. That's when Hebrews 2 and verse 8

kicks in. You know all that God had told you.

You've studied in Sunday school. You've heard

it preached last night when the evangelist was

talking about the great works of God. But now

you're sitting there and you are locked in with...

Not unbelief, but the inability to open that

cage and let that lion loose in your life. Because

of all the things that are wrong, all the negative

stuff that's going on in your life, but we don't

yet see all things. But then in verse 9, he says,

but we see Jesus. I like that word see. That

word see is actually also translated as discover.

When all of a sudden, I mean all you see is.

Pandemonium. You see all hell that is broken

loose. You see all the problems in your family.

You see all the problems that all of a sudden

has appeared in your body. You thought you were

healthy and now all of a sudden, you know, here's

these pains and it's now confirmed. It's this

and it's that. And all of a sudden your world

just wants to tumble in around you. And then

you try and get faith going. But you cannot get

it going because of everything that happens.

But then when you become quiet. You discover

Jesus. Hallelujah. And all of a sudden you realize,

all I have to do is just let him loose in my

problem. Unlock him. Look at somebody tonight

and say, unlock the master. Unlock His Word.

Just unlock His Word. Unlock every promise that

He gave you and make it yours tonight and say,

it's going to be mine in this service tonight.

Come on, give Him another praise offering. Glory

to God. I want to bring a last one to you and

that is the thing that locks it up. Is you. It's

just you. Look at somebody next to you and say,

it's you, you turkey. I think one of the greatest

examples is found in Matthew 18 relating to unforgiveness.

Unforgiveness. There's nothing that will lock

the word in tighter around you than unforgiveness.

And this nation reeks with a stench of unforgiveness.

Christians are being taught. Christians are being

taught if somebody does you harm, sue them. You

cannot receive anything. That lion, that mighty

lion, the lion from the tribe of Judah remains

locked up. Nothing can happen. Jesus told the

story of how, you know, the man was handed over

to the tormentors because he didn't want to forgive.

And then he said, likewise will your heavenly

father do to you if you don't forgive your neighbor.

wholeheartedly. Basie and I always remember this

in Newcastle years ago. A fellow pastor in the

town in South Africa where I was pastoring asked

me, he was going on vacation and then asked me,

he said, we have a very sick man in our church.

Would you mind if they need prayer to just pray

for him? If he needs prayer. I said, sure. Well,

the pastor wasn't away for two days when the

phone rang and it's the wife. And she wants to

know. She said, are you Pastor Venter? Yes. She

said, my pastor gave me your phone number. Yes,

yes, yes. I know all about it. What do you need?

She said, oh, I. Well, I told her, I said, I'm

on my way. So I went to the house. And when Basie

and I walked in there, I asked her, what do you

need? And she said, I just want you to say a

little prayer. I said, I don't know how to do

that. You know, every one of my prayers is massive.

Because I'm talking to a big God. I don't know.

Little prayers. Every one of them. Even if it's

just one sentence. They're magnificent prayers.

She said, well, you know, I don't have time for

that, you know. Just pray. So I said, well, what

do you want me to pray for? And she's obviously

irritated at me. She said. Well, the man is dying.

What else do you want to know? Well, I would

like to know why he has not yet been healed.

Or if God wants to take him home, let's ask God

to take him home. He's laying there on the bed,

Pastor John. His head is twice. Three times maybe

the size of normal. Maybe not that big, but I

mean it was massive. And he's obviously a cancer

patient. He's got a brain tumor. And his eyes

are deep sunken into his skull. I mean the water

just filled his brain. He's in so much pain,

I couldn't even touch the bed. And the man cried

out with pain. He's lying there. He's about to

die. And she wants a little prayer. So I said,

I need to know. If you don't mind, I need to

just wait on God and see why. Because she said,

when Jimmy Swaggart was here, we had him pray.

And when the covenant man, what's his name? From

Texas, you know? Yeah, yeah. Copeland. When Copeland

was here, he prayed. And she mentioned quite

a few people. You know. Like she was saying,

you know, who are you? Come in here. And want

to mess with the big prayers that others have

prayed. Just say your little prayer. She didn't

say that, but you know, that's what she implied.

So I said, well, let me just wait on God. Put

my jacket down. And I walk up and down, and all

of a sudden, the Lord shows me there's unforgiveness.

So I said to her, I feel this unforgiveness here.

God showed me this unforgiveness. Oh, man. She

gets so mad, Jenny. She tells me to hit the road.

She takes my jacket, didn't she? Hands me my

jacket. She said, get out of here. I said, oh,

man, I'll tell you what. I will take my leave

with speed. I don't need to be here. And then

just as I'm about to leave, her husband, he's

got his hands up and he's waving, you know. It's

like, it's my life. Let me have a word to say.

So I go real close to him by his mouth and he

whispers in my ear. That's all he can get out.

Ask my wife about the man who murdered my...

When I ask her. She goes. Oh I forgot. Yeah but

God didn't. Then she tells me what had happened.

So I go and sit next to his bed. And I lead him

in a prayer of forgiveness. And then I stand

back. And I said. My little prayer. Just released.

the lion out of the cage. Just let that lion

loose. Come on, look at somebody, say, let the

lion loose. Unlock it, unlock that lion. Put

your hands up like that, say, unlock that lion.

Glory to God. I don't care what's going on in

your life. Unlock that lion. I don't care if

it's deliverance you need. Unlock that lion.

I don't care if it's healing you need. Unlock

that lion. I don't care if it's a financial problem.

Come on, say it with me. Unlock that lion. I

don't care if it's a family problem. Say it with

me. Unlock that lion. Come on, give the Lord

a hand of praise. Unlock that lion. And then

I left. Two days later, she calls me. And she's

crying. I thought maybe the man had passed on.

And so she calls and she says, we're at the hospital

and they're supposed to take some x -rays and

do some, you know, what do they call that? Yeah,

whatever. And she said, they can't find the tumor.

They can't find the tumor. Boy, is it a time,

is it a time for you here tonight to just let

the lion loose upon that man that has been taking

your daughter and, you know, introduced her to

stuff that wasn't supposed to happen. Is it a

time for you to just take that? devil that came

into your finances and let the lion loose in

that in your home. Isn't it time to let the lion

loose and let the peacemaker come back in your

home and bring peace and harmony back in your

family members? Come on. Give him a handclub

of praise. Glory to God. Oh, come on. Don't stop.

Don't stop. Just praise him. I'm closing. It's

not necessary for me or anyone to try and defend

this lion. He needs no defense. You're already

hearing the roar of his majesty. As you sit there,

you can already feel. The tremble of his presence.

And you can feel the anointing just building

up all over you. And you know he's here. He's

in the house tonight. Is he still doing miracles

in my life? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. All we have to

do is let the lion loose. And watch what God

is going to do. He's the same yesterday, today,

and forevermore. And I know what pastor meant.

We're friends, you know. We walk together. There

was nothing like that. You know, it's just, Jan,

in spite of everything that's happened, is it

still happening? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. If they

were to chop my arm off, I would still proclaim

Jesus is the mighty healer. Yeah, go ahead and

praise him. He is the mighty healer. If you need

a healing, I want you to put your hand up like

that, just like that, and then say, God, close

your eyes and say, God, I recognize your authority.

Say, Holy Spirit, I accept the gift. It is a

gift of healing. Say, I accept it. Say it, in

the name of Jesus. release my faith tonight.

Right now. And I believe I will go home with

my miracle. I don't need to first see it. I believe

it without seeing it. It is mine. I accept it.

I will declare it. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.

Now keep your hand there. I want you to take

your hand and put it on that area of your body

that you need a miracle. Will you do it right

now? Just put your hand on that area of your

body. If you have experienced pain, listen, listen.

If you've experienced pain, then you are going

to expect God to do a miracle. Come on, can I

hear an amen? You know, it's just the way it

is. This is not a psyched up thing. This is just

releasing the lion that you know is there available

to come out of that cage and set you free. If

you have pain, that pain is going to disappear.

In a moment, I'm going to pray for you. And then

we're going to have people come forward. And

I want those that have received their healing

to come and testify. God did a great thing in

my body right now. Instantaneous. Everybody say

instantaneous. Now here, let's pray. Let's pray.

I'm going to pray. You believe. I pray. I speak

it. You receive it. In the name of Jesus. My

God, in the name of Jesus. Now, let me pray.

You just received. In the name of Jesus, I come

right now, Lord, and I declare that you are majestically

able. You are majestically present. You are majestically

the same. You are majestically here to do and

perform your great and marvelous deeds. And so,

Lord, by your word, through your word, through

the spoken word, I release. This lion upon this

congregation. I release this lion upon my friend

here. In the name of Jesus. I release that lion

upon everyone that have a pain or a sickness

or an infirmity in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Now here it comes. Now in the name of Jesus.

Be made whole. That's what Jesus said to that

man. Take your bed and go. So I say to you. In

the name of Jesus, be healed. Be healed. You're

going to see this pain. In the name of Jesus,

I command you to take your leave out of that

body and do not come back. In Jesus' name. Father,

I pray that whatever they could not do, they

will do right now. In Jesus' mighty name. Praise

God. Now, those of you that were prayed for,

would you please stand? Only those that we prayed

for right now. Go ahead and just stand wherever

you are. Just stand. Praise God. Go ahead, just

stand. Everybody had their hands up. Now, listen,

if you're too afraid to stand because you're

embarrassed that I may call you up, then you

obviously don't need healing. You need deliverance.

Those of you that had pain, Before I prayed.

Would you put your hand up and show me. Those

of you that had pain. Now try and find the pain

now. Tell me where's the pain. Try and find the

pain. Come those of you that says the pain is

gone. Come up here quickly please. Would you

come. Everybody that says the pain is gone. Just

walk out quickly. Just come and stand here. Walk

out. Come and stand here. Come. Come. Come. Just

clap hands as they come. Clap hands. Glory to

God. Glory to God. You stand on this side if

you don't mind. Yeah, join them on this side.

Thank you. Those of you that had a problem that

you could actually physically tell there was

a problem. You know, some people here had problems

inside you won't be able to tell. But if there

was something you couldn't do, like you couldn't

hear or you couldn't see or you couldn't move

an arm. I want you to try and do what you couldn't

do before right now, right there. Just move that

limb or do what you couldn't do. You couldn't

lift up your shoulder, your arm above your shoulder.

Now lift it up right now. Is that working for

you? Has something happened to you? Okay. Is

there anybody here that you say, I can do something

I couldn't do before? Come. Is there anybody

here? Is anybody here that says, Brother Venter,

something has happened in my body. Come on, I

want to see somebody saying, that lion has let

loose in my body. Let me see your hands. Anybody

else? Amen. Praise God. Okay, those of you that

feel something has happened in my back. I had

back problems and it's gone. Let me see your

hands. Lower back. Was it some of you here with

lower back problems? And you? That's going to

stop for you tonight. Everybody else that feels

that you need a miracle and your body's still,

come, stand here in one line. Will you please

come? As they come, Kelly or Ken, just get their

testimonies. Take a microphone. Kim? Ken? Kenny?

Take a microphone. Let these people just testify

and tell what happened. Go all the way. Pastor,

let them go all the way that side. Thank you.

Here, here. Start right here. Give them your

name. Bring the sound up, please. We have no

sound here. My name's Walt. Most of you know

me. But I've had arthritis in my hip for a long

time. And at my job, I bend over and I pick up

a lot of heavy hoses and deliver fuel. But it's

excruciating for me. But the Lord, I believe,

has touched me. Praise God. Is that pain gone?

It's going, yes. Okay. I want to hear those that

say that pain is gone. Tell me. Well, you told

me to come up here and receive my faith in healing,

and so I stepped forward. Even though I still

physically feel the pain, I know I'm going to

be healed. Okay. Well, then go stand on that

line. We've got to get that pain gone. You know,

I want people that says, that pain left. I don't

want, no, just a confession. No, that pain's

left. I have round number six of antibiotics

for massive infections. It's been going on since

August. And I've got to tell you this. I love

the lion thing. For a year and a half, almost

two years, I got stuck on 1 John 1 through 6.

And everyone in my church was reading other stuff,

and I felt so condemned for it. But that was

where I stuck, and I could see God create the

world, Jesus create the world. And then one day,

I had leukemia. You had leukemia? Well, I had

another condition, too, that's a rare. 250 ,000

people in the United States have it. What is

that? It's called Ehlers -Danlos hyperjoint mobility

vascular type 4. And it's all done? Well, no,

hold on. And this means I'm going to die and

stroke out in between now and 64 years old. 69

-year -old sister, or 59 -year -old sister had

seven brain bleeds with a hundred and... Over

50 blood pressure. But the light and the Judas

showed up. Yes, but let me ask a question because

I've got all these people to pray for. I wish

I could hear your whole testimony. I just want

to hear. Listen, I want to hear. That pain, is

it gone? Pain's gone. Pain's gone. And now, listen,

leukemia and everything else, stretch your hands

out to her. Say, it's gone. It's gone. In the

name of Jesus, it's gone. Amen. There's a miracle

in that. Yes. And the doctor that put me on leukemia

medicine. Yes. Praise God. Praise God. That's

wonderful. What happened to you? Okay, since

August 8th, I've had the worst sciatic nerve

pain. I don't know if anyone's ever had that.

It's awful. So you basically cannot sit or touch

your toes or bend over. And I just found out

that I'm pregnant with my second baby. And I've

been so scared because of the sciatic nerve pain.

But I can't touch my toes tonight. Show them.

Show them. Look at that. Come on, give the Lord

praise. Amen. What happened to you, brother?

I have a Scandinavian genetic thing in my hand.

It hurts, and it gets cold, and it is gone. I

can clap. Praise God. Praise God. What happened

here? Hi, my name is Jerry Scholes, and about

12 years ago, I was waiting to make a left turn,

and a car hit me from behind about 65 miles an

hour in my neck. was stiff and they got it limbered

up but it sounded like gravel rolling around

in my neck like this and arthritis is starting

to set in which they said they would and I was

standing back there just rolling my neck and

the gravel is gone. Wow. Praise God. Praise God.

Now, as you stand there, I'm going to ask pastor

to start praying on that side. And me and Basie,

we're going to start praying on this side. If

you end up on the floor or whatever, I'm going

to ask Kenny and them to follow up behind. When

you get up there, we want to hear about your

miracle. So if God touches you, not if, when

God touches you, we want to hear about your miracle.

It's going to happen right now. Say it's going

to happen right now. I won't have time to ask

every person what is wrong with you because...

Then we'll be here until 2 o 'clock tomorrow

morning. We just have to stand by you. And when

I stop in front of you, just give me a one -name

description. Cancer, sciatic nerve, back problems,

mother -in -law. Whatever it is. So we'll pray

accordingly. Now, minister to us, Sister Jenny.

Go ahead and minister. Close your eyes. And ready

yourself. Past the stairs. Start on that side.

Thank you very much. Thank you. I want those

that received a miracle from God. Just like that

lady. God healed her of blindness. I want. If

God touched you tonight. I want you to quickly

come forward. I want to hear about it. I want

to see if that encourages my faith. So if you

received a touch from God. Will you please quickly

put your hand up and say I'm coming forward.

Amen. Come. Please come. Please come. Let's hear

it. Let's hear it. What did God do for you? I've

been in pain for several weeks now. Bring him

up. Let me hold this mirror. I just had x -rays

done yesterday. Yes. They don't know what the

problem is yet. Yes. So I won't know until Tuesday

maybe. And now in the meantime, what happened

to the pain? No pain? Well, it's way down. Praise

God. I've been in excruciating pain for weeks.

So, Father, we pray for the rest of the inflammation

that's still there, that's in the nerves and

in the muscles, that that now be removed also.

In Jesus' name. Who's next? Who else? Cornelia,

tell me. I'll behold that. Praise God. I was

diagnosed about four weeks ago with a tumor in

my lower back on the spine. And it developed.

Numbness in my legs and in my hips. And I got

no pain in my hips. And I praise God. And I know

that that tumor is gone. Amen. Praise God. Anyone

else? God touched you. Yes, ma 'am. Yes, so I

had three things. Wrist and knee and back. And

my wrist is pain -free. And my knee is pain -free.

And my back is a lot better. Oh, glory to God.

Come on, Jesus. Praise Him. Who else? Who else?

Quickly. Anybody else? You say, God touched me.

Yes. Yes. Was diagnosed with gastrointestinal

stromal tumors. And then from past chemo, I got

an infection in my heart. And I've been having

a hard time breathing. I'm having a lot of heart

pain. I only have a half a kidney. So my kidney

was all affected from the meds. And my kidney

doesn't hurt. My chest, I don't have a pressure.

I can breathe. I feel like I have a lot more

energy. And I had caught a fence and hurt my

arm. Look at that. Look at that. Oh, come on.

If God could. My Lord. That is what it's all

about. The goodness of God. Anyone else? I don't

want to miss you. Praise God. The Lord says,

call upon me. I'll answer you, but you've got

to give him glory and honor. Yes. I've been walking

through a real dark time. I have a liver condition,

and I'm on this medicine for you. Yes, you had

a liver condition. I had it. And I could really

feel God's presence tonight, and I felt peace

in my heart. Yes. It's done. Praise God. There's

somebody here that have, either you or your child

has a peanut allergy. Who's that? Peanut allergy.

Been struggling with a peanut allergy. I feel

that here. Anyone here? You say, I know maybe

a child or a family member that have a peanut

allergy. And we're going to pray God heals that

person. Who's that? People come to me afterwards

and say, well, you know, there, there. Yes, yes.

What is going on? Your grandma. Grandma has an

extreme peanut allergy. Now, is she home? Is

she at home right now? You call her. It's quarter

till nine. And you say, Grandma, God healed you

tonight of that peanut allergy. Stretch your

hands out right now. Father, in the mighty name

of Jesus, we pray. What is Grandma's name? We

pray for Grandma Linda. Grandma Linda, in the

name of Jesus, we rebuke that peanut allergy.

Be made whole. I break that curse in your life.

In Jesus' name. It's done. Everybody say it's

done. Now look, I cannot tell you to tell not

to eat peanuts. I mean to go and eat peanuts.

But if it was me, just to see God healed her.

She can eat peanuts tonight. You'll hear the

testimony. But that's for her to decide. Praise

God. Yes, sir. John's daughter, their son got

hit by a, he was a motorcyclist and he got hit

by a car and finally died this week. She's an

incredible minister of the gospel. God uses her

in healing prophecy. And this has just been a

devastating blow to them. Young man, just 24,

name is Galilee. Can you call that out? Galilee.
