It's Supernatural

SID: Welcome to “Something More” [CHUCKLES]! And I’m going to tell you , you are going to get “Something More” on this show. This is Sid Roth with my friend, the NEW –

SID: Dr. David Herzog!

DAVID: [CHUCKLES]

SID: “My son, the doctor!” [LAUGHS]

DAVID: [LAUGHS]

SID: That’s what your father would say, right?

DAVID: There you go! Yeah.

SID: Um, but um, and by the way, for the record, David just told me it’s an “earned” doctorate.

DAVID: [LAUGHS]

SID:  David, I just got an email from you about y-you ‘re minding your own business, you ‘re having one of you celebrate the biblical festivals because you believe they’re portals to Heaven.

DAVID: Um hm.

SID:  and your worship leader messed you up! What happened?

DAVID: Well we’re doing our Pentecost conference like we always do, expecting God’s glory to come, and miracles, and salvation; and it’s the first night, and suddenly he just drops dead! The worship leader drops dead right during the first half-hour!

SID: Now h-how – how’s that for a start of a conference? [LAUGHS]

DAVID: And I had to speak after that too!

SID: [LAUGHS] Oh wouldn’t you – I hope you had a good message! No I’m just teasing!

DAVID: [LAUGHS]

SID: [LAUGHS]

DAVID: So – so I like, “Lord, he needs to get raised from the dead because it’ll affect my meeting!” No, that wasn’t the – and so he – he dropped and – [VIDEO BEGINS] so people thought he was like slain in the spirit or something, and after a few minutes, no he’s dead! They ran up to him, and so I told the worship leader, the second guy in charge that was backup, I said, “Keep leading the worship. Don’t stop, because if you stop, everyone’s going to panic and just go into ‘Oh my God!'” So I said, “Keep it going”, so everyone kept worshipping, and then a crowd of people went up and started to praying for him. Some others did some CPR that knew how to do it on him. And we had about oh, maybe 10 of us praying for him, you know. I was one of the ones praying, and commanding his spirit to come back in his body. And he came back! [VIDEO ENDS] After a few minutes, his pulse started coming back. We felt a faint pulse –

SID: Um hm.

DAVID: and so I told the people, “His pulse is back!”, everyone cheered, “But keep praying”; then he died again. And he –

SID: Now did you have a medic there that would –

DAVID: Yeah.

SID: say he died, or it – well how did you know?

DAVID: Well yeah, we had two. We had – first we had this expert CPR training people, then we had the paramedics come in û from the hospital, and he was foaming – before the paramedics came, he was foaming at the mouth! He was cold dead–dead, –

SID: Hm.

DAVID: and we kept praying. Then they came in the meeting; they went on the stage, did their work, and we just kept praying! We – we kept worshiping, and singing the songs, so they were surprised. They were looking, and they said they felt the presence of God as soon as they walked in – they’re not Believers and we kept praying, praying, praying. Finally at the end they told us – [VIDEO ENDS] not to go near the body, so we kept praying from a distance. And he was dead – dead-dead – and the paramedic was to – supposed to do like electric shock, and try to do something on him, and nothing worked. And we go, “Just keep praying everybody; keep praying!”, and a voice told the paramedic – who’s not a Believer – “Try to bring him back one more time.” Because we were all praying, he thought “Maybe we should”, and he came back at the very end. And they said he’d died of double-heart – “widow’s heart attack”, the “widow maker” they call it, and they said they don’t see people come back from that.  and they said they’re all un-Believers except for one; they’ve never seen this in their work, that someone comes back from a double heart attack – dies twice with a “widow maker” – and they could only attribute it to the prayers.

SID: So then did they whisk him off to the hospital –

DAVID: Yeah.

SID: to make sure he was okay?

DAVID: When they were whisking him off, he came back –

SID: Hm!

DAVID: from the dead, right at the last minute and an hour later, he was up talking! And they’ve never seen that, because the “widow maker”– you know that’s the big one – you don’t come back from that, especially –

SID: Um hm.

DAVID: if it happens twice in the same hour! So they were just so – the whole staff, everyone shocked, all the nurses, all the paramedics. And usually doctors try to like disprove if you say God did it. They were all saying it had to be the prayers; it wasn’t just a little CPR here and there.

SID: Now you have shared this story with our audience previously, but to me, it is so sensational. -[PHOTO BEGINS]

SID: You and your wife were having meetings in France, many years ago; and France is NOT known [PHOTO ENDS] as a RED-HOT area for the glory of [CHUCKLES] God!  and God spoke to you to do something that would affect your entire ministry. What did He say?

DAVID: So I decided to go to Israel; God kept telling me, “Go to Israel”, and I thought, “Why would I go to Israel? I’m a missionary to France! God didn’t call me to Israel He called me to France!”

SID: Um hm.

DAVID: I’m there for one year, and God says, “Go to Israel”! Okay, so how am I going to go to Israel? I had no money. The next – I said, “Lord, if it’s Your will, I need $3,000 for my wife and I to go”. It’s three weeks – outreach, visit, everything – with my Bible school who I had graduated from; they were going to meet me there. And the next day, my car sold for exactly $3,000, so I knew; okay, I’m supposed to go. That money was supposed to be the – sustain me on the mission field. Now I have no money, but I’m going to Israel!

SID: You know, you were really living on the edge back then!

DAVID: Aw yeah, totally I mean, crazy.
