Sid:  We want everyone everywhere because today is the beginning of Purim from the Book of Esther; we want everyone everywhere to romance the King; to have intimacy with God.  There is not a more important subject.  Now my guest all this week has been Brian Lake, we’ve been featuring his book “Romancing the King,” but as a result of romancing the King in Brian’s life, we found out yesterday that he has uncommon favor.  He’s given such wisdom in the business area by God; as a matter of fact I understand you don’t take a real large salary for ministry do you.

Brian:  Actually I don’t take any salary from the ministry.

Sid:  I know you don’t, and I believe that one way that God has extended His favor because you have learned the secret which is the most important secret in the Kingdom of romancing the King; God has so blessed your family.  I am very intrigued how each member of your two children and your wife, move in extraordinary gifting.  In fact you minister in churches as a family.  Tell me just briefly about your wife and your two children.

Brian:  Absolutely, well let me back up a little bit and say this that I see a lot of ministers go out you know and minister and let their family behind and I’ve seen that and that can you know wreck a family because the Father’s never home.  And I wanted to take my family with me because I wanted us to be a family together.  There is a lot of people out there CEO’s, managers and stuff that manage you know that manage hundreds of people but they can’t even manage their own home, three people, five people or whatever.  And I believe that if we take our family with us to different places they’re in that revival, they’re in that presence of God and they see God you know healing people and setting people free.  So that’s why you know 99% of the time I take my entire family with me.  I actually have three children, my youngest is four which is Melanie and she actually prays for people and we’ve seen the power of God hit people, you know they fall on the floor and begin to manifest and touched.  But my wife, Pamela she has a compassion you know for other countries, the poor, the orphans and we’ve done a lot of support with orphanages; and we’ve done that but we’ve seen a lot of healings and miracles take place through…

Sid:  Let’s just take each member of your family; let’s start with your wife, Pamela.  What is her unusual strong gifting?

Brian:  Well, again her gifting is compassion.  I mean she’ll take whether we’re at a big conference and there’s thousands of people there, she’ll take time out for that one person and begin to minister to that person.  And she has a strong anointing for people that have problems with their minds, thoughts, you know oppression and different things like that and we’ve seen a lot of testimonies through that.  Jordan, he carries the fire of God, I mean he goes into a place, the fire of God comes on him, he begins to throw the fire.

Sid:    How old is Jordan?

Brian:  Jordan will soon be fifteen years old here, and you know he’ll get up there and he’ll have words of knowledge and begin to give out words of knowledge. And sometimes in services it’s just like it hits him and it’s like a machine gun going off as far as words of knowledge and he’ll have people actually stand up during the service and just call them out and people are getting healed without him even touching them sometimes.

Sid:  Now what happens when he says “Fire” and touches someone?

Brian:  Well, many times people will just, if they need healing they’ll get healed and a lot of times though they’ll fall on the floor manifesting in the glory and the fire of God.

Sid:  Now tell me about Molly, she’s twelve I believe.

Brian:  Molly’s twelve years old and she kind of the, she has an anointing like Kathryn Kulman and she ministers a lot in healing.  She’ll have words of knowledge on healing, and she has many testimonies of people even getting healed from cancer.  And a strong anointing that’s on her life is that many times when she prays for people they’ll actually smell the fragrance of the Lord.  They’ll smell in the natural.

Sid:  One of the things we spoke about yesterday was the uncommon favor in your life and as far as I’m concerned and if it were just your family it would be enough; but in the financial arena you have really uncommon favor.  And you pray for people for anointing for financial breakthroughs; have you seen good results?

Brian:  We have and when we go to different places we’ll release the impartation for a financial blessing; even as a family we’ll release the family anointing on people.  And we have seen tremendous testimonies of people’s businesses begin to prosper; for an example one time we were in actually Guatemala and this family their business got broken into, stolen, they lost all their money.  We prayed over them for financial blessing, we got reports back that they started another business and their business began to flourish basically overnight.  We’ve even went into business’s, walked into their business here in America where there business was failing you know not very much  business, revenues was down, walk in there, begin to pray over their business and the next day it begins to flourish and begins to prosper again.  So we have testimonies like that, just God blessing people.

Sid:  I’m going to have you pray at some point this week for financial breakthroughs but it seems to me that the gifting that you have it extends to families, it extends to romancing the King.  I don’t know of a more important subject than romancing the King, do you?

Brian:  No, that is the most important thing that we can do to have that intimate relationship with the King, we have to spend time with Him, we have to live out of the secret place instead of just going into the secret place, we have to live out of that place.  Because it’s in that place, in His presence there’s everything that flourishes in His presence.  That’s, we need to go in there because the Bible says that God knows the plans that He has for us, you know for our destiny, for our purpose in life.  And a lot of people don’t know what their destiny and purpose is but they are never going to find out unless they get to know the King who knows the plan over their life.  And it’s in that place of the secret place that fellowshipping with Him, that getting to know what His desires is; and once you know His desires they become our desires.

Sid:  You had a vision of what God will be doing in America or actually in the whole world as far as pouring out spiritual and natural blessings; but in this vision you saw how people were going to lose these blessings, tell me about that.

Brian:  Right, what I’d seen was, God showed me this in a vision and what happened was, I’d seen the hand of God go out over His people and begin to pour out blessing after blessing, you know natural, spiritual anointing and just financial wealth and pour all these wonderful things out to His people.  And I’d seen in this vision the people were so excited, you know they were rejoicing and so happy that God was just giving them all this stuff.  But then after all…

Sid:  You know what you’re describing?  You’re describing the way America is now, we’ve been given all this stuff, we are the most blessed nation in the world at this point.  You know it’s almost on a double level, its individuals but you’re describing America to me.

Brian:  Absolutely, absolutely, and what I’ve seen next was, I’ve seen the hand of God go back out over the same people, but I’ve seen His hand instead of pouring out the blessing, I’ve seen His hand turn and begin to motion for those people to come to Him.  And what I’ve seen next was very disturbing to me because all those people that had the blessing, you know were happy and excited, but when He motioned for them to come, only a rare few begin to come to Him.  And that motioning to Him was a call of intimacy with Him relationship, He was saying, “Hey, I gave you all this stuff, now do you want Me?”  And only a rare few begin to come to Him, and the people that did not come to Him, their blessing begin to dry up.  And I believe that’s where we’re at now, the blessings are about to dry up and the people that actually came to Him, they’re blessing begin to flourish even more.

Sid:  So what you’re saying is even if things get very rough in the United States of America, we can walk in the most blessed time in history because things aren’t contingent on the economy, their contingent on our intimacy with God.

Brian:  Absolutely, that’s totally correct, and this is for me is probably one of the most exciting times for me and I’m not looking at the economy, it’s an important time for us right now because God is shifting the wealth to the people that know Him.  This is the time for that out pouring, I mean if people out there listening right now are close to Him and have that intimate relationship with Him, He is going to bless them more than they can every imagine.  So this is a critical time for people, this is a time that actually God spoke to me and told me.  He said, “Brian, in the next three months, which we’re coming to the end of that when He spoke to me in January here.”  This is a critical time that we need to seek Him like we’ve never sought after Him before and He’s going to reveal you know instructions to us and tell us what to do, and line things up in our life.  But it’s a critical time that we seek Him like we’ve never sought after Him before.

Sid:  Is there a period of time that you try to carve out every day to just be with God?

Brian:  Absolutely, because…

Sid:  And how much is that time?

Brian:  Well, it varies, you know for everybody I believe it may look different, it may not be the same with everybody, but for me you know I enjoy my time in the evening and early in the morning too, I enjoy that.  You know and I’ll spend you know sometimes Sid you know if I really want to get into His secret place I’ll even spend you know eight hours a day at times.  But on average you know I might spend a couple hours every morning.  In the evening I’ll spend more time and like I said, it may look different for everyone else but you know I’ll get my Bible and I’ll begin to read my Bible, I’ll listen to teaching tapes and then one of the most important things we can do is just sit and listen for His voice for Him to speak to us.

Sid: Sid Roth here with L.A. Marzulli. L.A., we’re talking about the Bible codes, which are fascinating. But what if you took another large book, like say, “War and Peace”, and looked for predictions in that using the Bible code? What would you find?

L.A.: It doesn’t work, plain and simple. It just doesn’t work.

Sid: But there are things predicting the future. For instance, Prime Minister of Israel, Rabin. Tell me about.

L.A.: There was a Bible code that was done with Yitzhak Rabin. And in a very tight grouping of letters, “Yitzhak Rabin, assassin will assassinate.” This was done primarily before the event.

Sid: That’s pretty specific. It even gets wilder than that. Someone found it and went to the Israeli authorities, but obviously they didn’t pay any attention. What about the Bible predicts there will be strange signs in the skies. Tell me a few.

L.A.: Well certainly we’re looking at objects around the sun that NASA seems to redact those images from the Soho twin satellites. Redact, meaning they brush them out several hours after researchers would look at them.

Sid: Why?

L.A.: Good question. I don’t know the answer to that.

Sid: Tell me about the moon.

L.A.: When you look at films from YouTubers all over the planet who were looking up at the moon, filming the moon and going, hey, I’m not an astronomer or anything, but I’m looking at this body and it’s not where it should be. It looks different. It looks weird. Well if one person says that you kind of dismiss it. But from all over the globe, people are reporting the same phenomena. So we did some research on it, my partner and I, Richard Shaw. And what we discovered was a paper by an Italian scientist by the name of Lorenzo Iorio, and he wrote a paper called, “The Eccentricity of the Lunar Surface”. He thinks that there’s a large body coming into the solar system, which is perhaps making the moon act in an erratic way.

Sid: There was actually a Torah code about the moon in that particular year. Explain that.

L.A.: Well the Torah code, which is really interesting, because when this was all happening, my partner Richard Shaw sent it to the rabbis. And so they did a Torah code, and it said, “The moon will be observed in the day,” basically 2011. Anomalies in the lunar surface will be observed in 2011. So the Torah code sort of corroborated what we had been investigation, which I found absolutely fascinating.

Sid: He has an ending of the Mark of the Beast I’ve never heard before, and it rings true. I think it’s historic what you’re going to share. Will you do that right now?

L.A.: I’d love to. Thank you for allowing me to do this. We see in Matthew 24, Yeshua states something, “As in the days of Noah so will be the son of man returns.” We alluded to that before. What differentiates those days are the presence of the fallen angels. But there’s also some other dynamics in that passage which we overlook. One of them in particular is the length of lifespan, five, six, seven, 900 years old people lived, and I believe that’s literal. They lived to 900 years or older. Hold that thought. Then jump over to the Book of Revelation. It says, we all get this one, that, “Anyone who takes this mark will not be able to buy, sell or trade.” That’s an easy one. But then we find out that anyone who takes this mark, whatever this thing is, grievous sores will appear over the body. Then we find out in the Book of Revelation also, anyone who takes the mark is immediately thrown into the lake of fire. There is no grace. There is no mercy. It’s just, you got the mark, bam, you’re in the lake of fire. Not my words. Those are the words of Yeshua and those are in the Book of Revelation. A little further on we read something which is not necessarily tied into the Mark of the Beast. But here’s the deal. It says that in those days, the days of the mark, men and women will seek death and not find it. How can that possibly be? I’ve held a chip from Dr. Lear in my hand. I’ve asked him point blank, what is this thing doing? It’s changing the DNA. This thing, and this is how they’re going to do it.

Sid: This is the chip that people going into flying saucers, have the surgery.

L.A.: Right. These are prime contacts.

Sid: By the way, did this doctor find that these people were loonies?

L.A.: No, not at all. All these people that had been abducted, most of them, I would say well over 90 percent do not want any notoriety. In fact, they seek anonymity. They’re not interested in any type of [unintelligible].

Sid: Why doesn’t the U.S. reveal all the information they have on flying saucers? Other nations have done it.

L.A.: Well the other nations have done it. Greece, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, they’ve all released what were one time top secret documents. We don’t do it and I think the reason is simply this. They fear some sort of a backlash, religious backlash. What happens if people all of a sudden find out that maybe the God we’ve all believed in isn’t. This is what I call the great deception, and I believe it’s been orchestrated for thousands of years.

Sid: Okay. Let’s go back to this changing the DNA thing. Why would someone want a chip inside of them?

L.A.: Here’s the scenario. Let’s say there’s an upcoming war in the Middle East and we see some sort of a nuclear holocaust. Remember, this is just a scenario. Okay. So we see a nuclear event in the Middle East, perhaps in this country, and all of a sudden, mile-wide UFOs begin to manifest, begin to appear all over this planet. How is that going to affect everyone? They’ll come with two things. They’ll come with a free energy source and they will come with a chip, and this goes right back into what Matthew 24 states. They will come with this implant which when you take it will usher you, bring you into as a member of a new world order. And when they scan this thing, not only will it have its medical records, but it will change and correct your DNA. That’s what we’ll be told, correct your DNA.

Sid: So it will allow you to live longer.

L.A. You’ll live to 500 years, disease-free. All this…

Sid: So who’s going to say no? Only someone that knows the Lord. Only.

L.A.: Exactly.

Sid: And you can see why they’d be enemies of the world…

L.A.: We’d be look at as Neanderthals. How can you possibly believe in this ridiculous mythos of a Judeo-Christian God? Why not just take this mark and live disease-free for 500 years. It sounds like a great deal. Look, I’ve held it in my hand and this is what I think is coming. And it’s the only thing which fulfills all that criteria, which we just spoke about that’s found in the Book of Revelation.

Sid: And as far as timing, isn’t it interesting in this whole scenario of what we see shaping up right now with the nations coming against Israel, is on the horizon with Obama’s name in the secret code. It shows you how soon it will be that the Messiah is going to return. Tell me about the rapture vision you had, real brief, because there is a blessed hope.

L.A.: I didn’t seek this in any way. I was getting ready to go in the shower. So unlike our last guest I didn’t fast or pray or any of that stuff. I was just getting ready to go in the shower. I was not in the body or out of the body. I can’t tell you, just like Paul says. All I know, I was snatched up. I found myself in the heavenly scene. I was there for three seconds, one second, two seconds, three seconds, bam, back again. Second one, I look around and I can see that we’re not sandwiched in like sardines, that there’s 20 to 30 feet between myself and other people. We are all looking in the same direction. That’s second one. Second two, there was a holy reverential silence which permeates the entire scene. You can hear a pin drop. No one is asking, gee, where are we? There’s none of that. Everyone knows exactly what’s happened. It’s a holy, I can’t even describe it, the best words, holy reverential sound. The stillness is unbelievable. Second three, I realize to my utter amazement that my sin nature, what I mean by that, is all the little nasty stuff that we do that crops up even though we don’t want it to. It just crops up and sort of eats at us, our anger or our bitterness, whatever it is, all that was gone and I was liberated. That’s in three seconds and bam, I was back and I wept.

Sid: Let me tell you something. This has never happened to me before. But a few days before this interview I woke up from a dream, and this is what I was saying in the dream, “Jesus is coming soon. Jesus,” I said it three times, Jesus is coming soon. I say to you, Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready?

Sid:  My guest Paul Keith Davis, I’m speaking to him by way of telephone at his office in Orange Beach, Alabama. That is right outside of the Mobile area.  Paul Keith I got a hold of your new book “Angels that Gather”, and this came from a literally you said in 2003 in Albany, Oregon it was like lens came off of your eyes.  What did you mean?

Paul Keith:  It was an amazing day, it took me by surprise as I was walking into a sanctuary of the church in Albany, and literally that’s exactly what happened, it was as it your eyes are just opened another realm was opened up and my natural eyes wide open, I was not in a vision or a dream or a chance and I’m walking across the sanctuary to be honest, and I’m seeing with my natural eyes angels that were I believe always in the room, I was just now able to see them.  And the Lord said that they were very specific and unique type of an angel, angels that gather.  And we found them identified In Matthew 13, primary verse 41 where it says “The Son of Man will send forth His angels that gather out of his kingdom.”  So we know that we’re in a season of harvest and this host of heaven has been sent to co-labor with us to bring in this incredible promised harvest.

Sid:  And what does the harvest mean to you?

Paul Keith:  I believe the harvest has multiple applications, certainly we’ll see harvesting of souls, there will be a wave of evangelism, people that are lost that don’t know the Lord will certainly come into a revelation and saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus, which is phenomenal in itself.  But then the Lord has also been saying to me thought that there are many things that will be harvested.  And I was taken to John chapter 12 where the Lord said, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth it abides alone, but if it perishes it brings forth multiplied grains of wheat like the original seed.”  And the Lord began to show me that even within the context of the people that are now presently saved that we’re about to see a level increase where we will begin to function in this earth as sons of the kingdom; that means we will demonstrate His nature, we’ll demonstrate his character, we’ll have the level of power and I think that we’ll fulfill the promises of what we call greater works generation.  So the Lord is looking to harvest sons of the kingdom, people that are functioning in a level of maturity and power that we probably have not seen.  All we have seen so far is and what the Lord showed me was, that all we’ve had id prototypes, the Moriah Woodworth Etters, William Branhams, the John G. Lakes, and the Kathryn Kuhlmans. These are prototypes of a generation of what we’re about to see raised up.  But then we see there is going to be a harvest of commissions of harvesting, and I think the Biblical example of that would be the Saul of Tarsus becoming Paul the apostle.

Sid:  I have to ask you a question because I’ve often pondered that as I’ve read it in the Bible, do you believe Steven felt pain when he was being stoned?  I mean as I read it he sees Jesus standing up and rooting for him, it seems to me that he would have almost transcended pain.

Paul Keith:  I believe from what I could tell and I certainly wouldn’t want to make a doctrine of this, it started out in one way but ended in another, if you can follow what I mean.  I believe initially there was some measure of awareness that he was some measure of pain, but I believe in the midst of that he transcended the natural into the spirit.  Because in my vision and of course it was and I’m not say it’s anything outside of what the Bible says but at the end of it it was so caught up in what he was seeing that he was totally oblivious to the stones that were hitting his body.  And in my experience, you know, I had asked the Lord I was very upset because a 38 year old very very good friend of mine died, no apparent reason just fell over in the airport dead.  And I said, “Lord, I need to understand this.”  And He took me and I saw this experience and of course my friend’s name was Steven, oddly enough. I saw as Steven was being stoned, and in my experience Steven looked up into heaven just like he did in the Bible and the Lord stood to His feet just like it says in the Bible.  But at least in my experience the Lord as Steven was perishing and his life was leaving his body the Lord pointed His finger at the devil and said, “That one is going to cost ya.”  And Steven my friend was taken unjustly; it was a violation of the enemy just like there was a violation of Steven when stoned in the book of Acts.  And such an impact that fell on me that I realized that oh, my goodness there is about to be retribution, Satan crossed the line, he should have never touched that man Steven.  Steven went into the soil as a seed and the harvest became Paul the Apostle.  Because I saw that there was an undeniable link between the stoning of Steven and the reaping of Paul.  And the Lord began to teach me about many great saints like Joan of Arc, many of the millions that were butchered and slain throughout the dark ages, millions of millions of people that we read about in Fox’s book of Martyrs, and Smucker’s glorious reformation and we see godly precious saints of God their lives snuffed out.  But the Lord said every drop of blood will be accounted for.  They went into the soil like seed and so part of harvest is that all of those commissioned, all of that anointing that was lost that the enemy thought that he was stealing will be poured out.  That’s what I believe the Ancient of Days will do in Daniel Chapter 7 when it says, “The books are opened.”  What’s in the books?  Every unrighteous act ever committed against the saints of God.  The Bible says in Daniel 7 “The horn of the adversary will wage war with the saints and overpower them until the Ancient of Days renders a verdict in favor of the saints,” and I believe that’s the harvest.

Sid:  Well, on yesterdays broadcast you were talking about Matthew 13 verse 37 to 43 in which there were angels removing the stumbling blocks.  And you said that God’s been dealing with you in this area.  And in fact you had a vision of three snakes coming into you in this vision from your Mother, explain that.

Paul Keith:  That was a very unusual experience, I have to admit, and what the Lord showed me was of course what David said, “In sin my mother conceived me.”  And that we were born with a sin nature and as a result of that you might want to call them generational curses whatever all the different terms are.  But they’re just things resident in us that are contrary to the nature of God.  And even when our spirit has been redeemed, born again, our soul which consists of our mind, our will and our emotions still has issues.  And we can see that certainly in Christians today, you know people that are legitimately born again but they might still deal with issues of you know, issues of the flesh.  Whether it be jealousies or ambition or whatever, lusts unfortunately.  We’re seeing great leaders that have had issues emerging because everything that is hidden has been revealed.  And so what the Lord began to deal with me on is some of these fallen issues, and I’ll give you an example, I’ll be a little transparent here on your radio program but one of the issues in our family was anger.  And so the Lord began to deal with me on the issue of anger and I was actually angry with my own father.  And the Lord took me into a vision and I saw a future meeting and I saw the power that was being demonstrated in that meeting and I said, “Lord, how many years will it take before we’re ready to walk in that level of power?”  And the Lord said to me, “I didn’t just begin preparing you for that,” he said “I started preparing you for the day that you were born.”  And I realized that everything that I had happen in my life, the physical, my Dad’s in heaven, and I love him and I appreciate what God allowed even though at the time it was very, very, very difficult. But God saw something in the future and he allowed me to go through that process as a young person the abuse, the physical things that happened the beatings took place.  The Lord allowed although He wept with me He allowed it because He knew that at some point God would redeem that and He would use it and sanctify it and make it a source of strength.  And in my experience the Lord said, “The pain of your past is the preparation of your future.”  And with that revelation the issue of anger was extracted from my soul.

Sid:  Speaking of extracting the anger from your soul you talk about the experience you had with the heavenly operating table.

Paul Keith:  Right, I think that’s where we’ve been to be honest with you.  I travel all over the nation and invariably virtually every meeting we do people are just completely overwhelmed with feelings of hopelessness.  They’ve been in the wilderness, they’ve been in severe pruning people have gone through financial crisis, personal crisis, family crisis.  And the encouragement that we have for them is that this has been part of the pruning process. As I was caught up in this experience I saw angels literally stripping away layers of flesh, the fleshly nature.  And until my experience there was nothing left but a little pulsating orb of light, which I knew was the deposit of God.  And then they began to put us back together, but now it was bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.  And I believe that’s the parabolic picture of where we’ve have been where many saints have had issues of the flesh stripped away.  And it’s been painful, it’s been difficult.  I have some friends that have been through severe pruning, one man in particular was a multimillionaire, had millions and millions of dollars everything was stripped away.  All of his blessings and it’s not because he was in rebellion but it was because that he was because he began to pursue God.  I don’t want someone to think that because they’re pursuing God God will take away their finances.  It had become a God to him though, it had become a stumbling block and because God loved him so much, I believe every bit of that it will be restored but he’s gone through a process now though where he’ll be able to handle for the Kingdom the level of finances that He wants to give him to use for the harvest.  And that’s the example of the process. And the Lord has been putting His finger on issues of the soul and giving us the grace to yield that to Him so that we can actually live before Him on a higher plain.

Sid:  And everyone wants the intimacy with God but they don’t realize that there are obstacles that God wants to get rid of because He wants the intimacy more than we want it…

Billy Joe:  It was not on my radar that’s for sure; never thought of that.

Sid:  But going back to in ’72 the presence of God literally knocked you back and you had quite an encounter, tell me about that.

Billy Joe:  I had an encounter, I grew up as a United Methodist boy, my wife, at the time my girlfriend father was our pastor and he began to talk about being born again.  And I had a born again experience in 1970, but it was a couple of years later that I begin to hear about the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  I was in a Sunday school class for three weeks where a lawyer taught on the Holy Spirit.  And after that three weeks I realized that I could receive that same power Jesus spoke of to His disciples in Acts 1:8 when he said, “You will receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and to the uttermost parts of the earth.  And on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:4 I read, “They all were filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak with other tongues.”  That was the disciples, Mary the Mother of Jesus, others who had followed, they burst into the streets, they began to proclaim in other tongues the wonderful works of God.  There was the Jewish celebration taking place called Pentecost so Jews had come from around the world and they heard them speaking in the wonderful works of God.  Peter stood up and preached and said, “This is what the Prophet Joel prophesied, “In the last days I will pour My Spirit on all flesh.”  Well, I’d been hearing these scriptures and really for the first time in my life for whatever reason I didn’t get that growing up.  It may have been taught, I don’t remember it being taught or even discussed.  I wasn’t around people that spoke in tongues and the whole Pentecostal Charismatic experience was, it wasn’t even on my radar.  But I had had an experience a visitation from God where God dealt with me to leave the University I was in, transfer to Oral Roberts University.  And I had been at ORU three weeks and it was all new to me, and I was going to this little church and as that church began to worship God in a public school auditorium where they were meeting, I fell back in my seat; it was the power of the Holy Spirit.  Looking back I believe that it was the time when God baptized me in the Holy Spirit I just was overwhelmed with the presence of God.  The feeling that I got was beyond anything that I had ever experienced and difficult even to describe, just currents of God’s blessing and power flowing through my body.  At the end of this service the minister said, “Those of you who would like to be saved, come forward, we’ll pray with you; and those of you that would like to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.”  And I went forward and the friend that had talked with me even a few weeks earlier about the Holy Spirit and about some of these things he went with me and we went into a classroom along with others.  And he said; “Now I’m going to lay hands on you for you to receive the Holy Spirit and you can begin to speak in tongues and he started to pray in the Spirit and get ready to lay hands on me and before he could lay hand on me, I just started speaking in tongues.  And out of my belly or spirit flowed what Jesus had spoken of, “Rivers of living water,” just a language I had never learned, prayer language.  And people would say, “Well what was the difference it made in your life?”  Well, the most significant difference for me was as I read the scriptures it was like reading it for the first time, understanding was there.

Sid:  Billy Joe, why is it that at when I became a believer in the Charismatic Movement was in full bloom so to speak, it was very common to talk about being filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking in unknown tongues.  Today it’s almost demoted to the backroom in Charismatic and Pentecostal churches; I don’t get it, how did that happen?

Billy Joe:  Well, it hasn’t happened here, we do it right in front of everybody; we don’t take them into a backroom.

Sid:  That’s the way it used to be, though.

Billy Joe:  And I think it’s just the awareness of people has diminished in that need.  For us we deal with so many situations and people that are in desperate need they’ve got to have the power of Holy Spirit.  And I think that’s the issue that people have forgotten the power is in the Spirit of the Living God, Sid we’ve got to bring that back and refocus folks.  It’s not in our intellect, it’s not in just knowledge and information; it’s not in just the fellowship that we’re around different people or the songs that we sing; it is in the power of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Sid:  You know Billy Joe; I believe that there are people listening to us that are saying to themselves, I wish I had that same experience that Billy Joe just described.  I believe that if you prayed for them right now that they’d have that experience.

Billy Joe:  Yes, I believe that too.  For those of you who have that desire, as I pray you open up your heart and then your mouth and then begin to speak and declare God’s glory and His blessings, His praise, and then the Spirit of God is going to come out of you in a band new language.  You see the Bible says, “Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened.”  Jesus has taught that specifically related to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  Right now I pray for you to be filled with the Holy Spirit according to the Bible pattern that as you’re filled you begin to speak with other tongues, a loud right where you are.  In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth be filled to over flowing and open your mouth and begin to declare a loud.  (Billy praying in his prayer language)  That’s it, you open your mouth, you just heard me praying in my prayer language, it’s a language that gives glory and honor and praise to God.

Sid:  And for the person that said, “I’d like to do that but I don’t know what to say.”  So far you’re 100% correct; it isn’t in your mind, so of course you don’t know what to say.  You’ll only hear it if you start speaking it by faith out loud and I like to tell people speak this language as quickly as you can so that you don’t get your mind in the way, it’s coming from your spirit.

Billy Joe:  Yes, it’s so important that we do like Peter when Jesus said, “Come.”  Peter said, “Lord if it’s you Lord, bid me come” as Jesus came walking on the water and Jesus said, what else could he answer it was Him, He just said, “Come.”  And Peter stepped out, what is he going to walk on, and you say, “What am I going to say?”  You just step out of the boat of your own mine and your own reasoning.  You say, “What am I going to step on?”  Stepped on the promise of God, what was Peter stepping on?  You know it was nothing but water out there; but he stepped on what Jesus said and as long as he held on to it he walked on the water.  And for you that are stepping out right now, out of your own intellect, your own language, you’re speaking in a new language which is very clear in scripture, they were speaking the wonderful works of God.  They were praying when we don’t know how to pray the Spirit makes intercession for us; Roman’s 8:26 & 27.  So it’s a wonderful prayer language it’s a wonderful praise language, and it’s important to step out right now. (Billy Joe speaking prayer language) I’m just praying in my prayer language right now, and those are words that God knows, we don’t know which language if may be but there’s some 17,000 at least languages in the world and then there’s the language of angels.  Our daughter was with us in a crusade in Dominican Republic she began to speak in tongues on the platform as we were praying for the sick.  And there were Dignitaries there, the Attorney General, the Senator from that region was there and the major and they all heard her; one man came up and said, “Where did you learn that language?”  And she said, “Well, I’m just speaking in tongues, he said , “No, that’s a language of the tribe that is right up in those mountains,” and he pointed and because he had lived in that region, had been to that tribe, had learned part of their language.  He was hearing our daughter Sarah, our oldest daughter speak in that language; it was a sign and a wonder to those men.  They did not leave the platform of that major crusade until the last person was gone, and usually Politians are there…

Sid:  And you know Billy Joe what you’re describing is normal and it’s about time believer’s become normal, tell me about your book that we’re making available “You Can be Healed.”  What kind of feedback are getting on it?

Billy Joe:  People everywhere are experiencing healing because it is simple.  It lays out the scriptures and then gives powerful testimony and explanation of how people can be healed regardless of their condition.  You can be healed, Brother Roberts wrote a wonderful endorsement in it, Suzanne Hinn, Benny Hinn’s wife and we’ve been close friends with both of them.  They realize how important it is that people get the scripture and testimony together and that’s what it’s for.  I thought about a person laying on a so called deathbed, been given a terminal statement concerning their healing, unable to be healed.  What would you say to them?  I would tell them right off the bat “You can be healed.”  And that’s the nature of this book.

Sid Roth:  Well, as you explained it, it’s so clear, it’s so simple but then it’s the anointing, it’s the presence of God that destroys the yokes of unbelief.  And you just systematically point by point get rid of all the obstacles that the devil’s using to stop people from being able to draw on the healing of God and not only them being healed but being able to pray for other people.

Sid:  I guess I’d have to say that is an understatement for my guest, Evangeline Weiner.  And Evangeline we have never really met, but I’ve known your father for many years.  Her father’s Bob Weiner and mother is Rose Weiner.  Her father is known for having started college groups all over the world, Marantha Ministries.  And he’s also known as a man of faith.  And so you’re a second generation of someone and in fact I would have to believe as a young child you were taught faith.  What was it like being around the Weiner residents?

Evangeline:   Ha-ha, yeah I would say that growing up that way we were always by my parents even to you know to go after whatever God asked us to do at a young age.  And even you know that nothing you know that he didn’t have a big Holy Spirit and we had a small Holy Spirit, but whatever God asked us to do we could do no matter the age and so whenever we were brought around we were part of the tea.  You know we were always essential members of the team and you know we would have our, if there were people needing healing we would be right there praying for our own people to get healed.  And I remember even being in Russia and…

Sid:   You’re like five years old; did you see a lot of miracles?

Evangeline:  Yeah, like even, even at five because we started going to Russia when I was five and actually before that even I remember praying for people in Ocala, Florida and me and my Dad both had our own prayer lines.  And anyway some of you might think that’s funny to trust a five year old, but he was trusting you know in the God in us.  And you know it’s not about us but anyway, so I was praying for this one lady who had cancer under her arm and at five I remember that cancer falling off.  I had prayed for her and she came running back saying, “I was healed, I was healed.”  And her cancer the lump that was under her arm was gone.

Sid:  We’re introducing Evangeline’s book called “The Calling of a Generation,” and I would retitle it “Full of Faith” because if you need to start fresh in your faith and I happen to know something about you, you do.  Let me introduce you to Jennifer Toledo, one of the women that’s featured in this book.  I have Jennifer Toledo on the telephone and she’s ready to set the world on fire, she graduates college, she goes off to Kenya Africa and you didn’t realize it but you bumped into one horrible situation, describe it.

Jennifer Toledo:  Yes I did, I ended up in Northern Kenya in the Triconya Desert and just very unlike anything that I ever expected.  It was just not modern Africa; I mean it is a Nomadic Tribe, just incredibly rough conditions.  There was famine and draught, and extreme violence and extreme weather, you know it was between 110 and 120 degrees year around; just really horrific conditions.

Sid:  But then you found out that one of the reasons that the conditions were so horrible is that the Triconya Tribe had made blood covenants with the devil for thousands of years.

Jennifer Toledo:  Yeah, you know what kind of what I thought it really couldn’t get any worse, I found that out and I said, “No Jesus, what am I going to do?”  And it’s true, this tribe had for generations lived in blood covenants with Satan and there was this continual fear in the people.  They had to offer blood sacrifices continually to appease the demons and the people really were living in so much bondage and it wasn’t just the tribe, the people, but the land also was in covenants with Satan.  And you know honest I felt like a young woman I felt just totally out of my league, I just felt like this was something I just was totally unqualified to do.  And you know one day I was in my hut just crying out to God saying, “God, I’m just totally inadequate for this.” And He just spoke really clearly and He just said, “You know what, you are absolutely inadequate, don’t forget it because that’s your greatest strength.”  And then He just reminded me that he still uses David’s to bring down Goliaths.  And I said, “Okay God I’ll believe, what do You want to do for this land?”  And that really began the journey.

Sid:  And a Bible teacher arrived by the name of Arthur Burke and he gave you a new concept and that was, “If you could enter into a stronger covenant then it would defeat this covenants with Satan for over thousands of years.”

Jennifer:  Yeah, yeah absolutely.  We began to really just press into the Lord and say okay God, you know it felt so up hill and we’re going “Okay God, how do we see breakthrough come to this land?”  And one of the strategies the Lord gave us was to invite a dear friend by the name of Arthur Burke who I really didn’t know at the time, he has this incredible anointing just in understanding the redemptive qualities over a region and calling them out.  And so we invited him to come out and he joined us and yeah, but yeah basically that was the strategy that the Lord gave us.  He said, “Gather all the leaders of the tribe because generations before, all the leaders had come together to place the tribe in covenants with Satan.”  And so “Gather all the leaders, repent.”  And the strategy the Lord gave us was very simple, He said, “The only way you get out of a blood covenant is that you enter into a stronger blood covenant and that’s the blood covenant with Jesus Christ.”

Sid:  But along the way it wasn’t exactly the way that you thought the script would be, you almost died.

Jennifer:  It’s true, I did.  You know the night before we gathered all the leaders together the Lord really spoke to me and just said, “Jennifer, I am so proud of you for believing for this, but you need to know that you’ve really stirred up the enemy if you go forward with this the enemy will try to take your life.”  And I didn’t, I mean obviously I knew that it was very serious, but I felt like God was giving me a real decision and I had to press in and say “Okay, God I know that my life is in Your hands, Satan cannot steal my life, I will gladly lay my life down for this tribe but the enemy can’t steal my life.”  I knew I just had to tell the enemy, “To take it up with God,” and I did I got very sick, but God amazingly and miraculously healed me.

Sid:  Oh you have to tell me about when you were without hope, who walked into your room?

Jennifer:  After our time of breaking the covenants and I ended up in the hospital and you know basically I was told that I wouldn’t have any chance of survival and they wanted to do surgery on me and my chances were very minimal and I had just the most beautiful encounter with Jesus.  And in my sleep Jesus walked into my room and performed surgery on my body and completely restored my body.  And literally raised me off my deathbed and you know it was such a testimony of His goodness and having just seen what had happened in the Triconya and then Him personally meeting me, just the beauty of who He is.

Sid:  Just out of curiosity did any of the doctors question your miraculous recovery?

Jennifer:  Ha-ha, you know of course, they were shocked because they had been doing all the tests on my body and not able to you know find a cure in the natural; and so when I just told them, “I had this visitation and I saw Jesus do surgery on my body.”  And when they retested me so many of the doctors and nurses would come into the room and just ask me about it and yeah, my doctor just wept and just really just really committed his life to the Lord.  It was a very beautiful moment, a very beautiful moment.  But Sid the most amazing thing too is just out of all of that we got to see the whole tribe come into freedom.  And when God told us to come into blood covenants with Jesus, all these leaders as a sign of doing that they took communion; they poured communion on the land and we just declared that the Triconya Tribe was going to come into the blood covenants with Jesus.  Because it was amazing you could feel something shift in the Spirit when we did it and it was just, it was…it seemed so silly in the natural, but it was just obeying the Lord, you know the strategy He gave us.  And what we did we asked God, we said, “We really  need signs that Your in this,” because you just don’t pick a battle with somebody’s who has blood covenant with Satan and not have God in it.  So we’re like, “God we need to know that You’re in this so would you give us two signs;  will you give us a sign that You’re pleased, You know sign Your name to this thing and would you give us a sign that you really brought down the demonic stronghold in the land.”  And sure enough after all these leaders came into covenants with Christ, you have to understand this is the peak of the draught, the peak of the summer, it was such horrid conditions; it hadn’t rained for like two years in this region.  And after we prayed this, it was like watching a Bible story, it was amazing literally the heavens opened and it began to pour down rain right in the desert.  And you don’t have to tell people God’s pleased; you don’t have to tell African’s that when it rains God is pleased.  And so people were showing themselves on their faces just worshiping God and we knew that was our first sign that God was pleased and was really into this.  And then shortly after we got our second sign, this huge bolt of lightning just came just of the sky and hit this mountain, Goat Mountain.  Which is the high point of all the demonic power for the land it’s where all the sacrifices are offered and instantly when that hit you could feel the power shift in the region.  The witchdoctor’s were freaking out, they were running down the mountain and we knew that it was like God had brought down, you know it was defined for us that God had brought down the demonic stronghold of the land.

Sid:  So, what’s that land like after this stronghold has come down?

Jennifer:  Yeah, we tracked and similar factors in the area for a year and it began to rain so this is crazy, Kenya by nature is a tropical area, but Triconya desert is so dry, it began to rain so heavily that they received that year, the Triconya received more rainfall than anywhere else in the rest of Kenya.  And you know a year later where the span as far as you can see with your natural eye it was just grass, the animals were fat.

Sid:  Did many people come to the Lord?

Jennifer:  Oh yeah, I mean so many you know not just…so many people got saved and came to the Lord, but out of that so many people were provoked to the reality of the supernatural and what God can do.  And I think the Triconya Team that was raised up ended up over the next couple of years raising up about 40,000 intercessors from all around because the Triconya is bordering several countries and they just began to just raise up all these intercessors.  And because so many witchdoctors got saved and so they were telling us you know that when they got delivered and set free and kind of were in a process of restoration, they began to just share you know the strategies of the enemy and incredible information about how to begin to pray and see the Kingdom of God come.  So they really raised up all these teams of people to go in and bring healing and restoration into communities; it is incredible what God did.

Sid:  Jennifer, thank you so much.

Jennifer:    Absolutely, yeah.

Sid Roth:  Now how would you like to be as full of faith as Jennifer Toledo?

Andre:  Yes.

Sid:  You had everything stacked against you, not just something, you had everything stacked.  How in the world did you survive?

Andre:  The only way I survived is Jesus basically became my best friend.

Sid:  Well, for the people that don’t understand, let’s go back, you were actually born from a rape; your Mom didn’t want you and you lived with your Great Uncle and Aunt how was that?

Andre:  That was difficult, they were alcoholics and I would wake up seeing my, and I would wake up seeing my Momma, my Auntie laying in a puddle of urine because she couldn’t make it to the bathroom because she was so inebriated.  So it was difficult, they fought all the time and guns and knives, it was crazy.

Sid:  Did you have other brothers and sisters or half brother and sisters and did you at least have good family relation with them?

Andre:  I only really grew up with my half sister because my great uncle who took me in was my great grandmother’s brother who took in my half sister.  So I grew up knowing her, but the rest of my family I wasn’t very close to at all.

Sid:  But then, I guess because of their very very dysfunctional behavior both being alcoholics you went to live with your great grandmother who was in her ‘80s, now how does someone in her eighties manage a young kid like you?

Andre:  Well, actually she didn’t, actually I kind of raised myself.  I went to live with her because my uncle and auntie, they died seven months apart.  So I went to live with her because she was the only person that would take me in you know.  So from the age of eleven I kind of raised myself, so yeah, it was very difficult for an eighty year old to take care of a little kid.

Sid:  So, at about four years of age you had a dream that is the only reason I believe I’m taking to a sane human being right now.

Andre:  Yeah, I actually starting about four years old I had the same dream repeatedly over and over and over again.  And it was, me in a room in a room standing before a window and me talking to the Lord and him telling me that He would never leave me, he would never forsake me and he’d be with me you know forever.

Sid:  Just out of curiosity, were you taken to the church all the time, I mean where did this dream come from?

Andre:  No, no one talked to me about church, no one talked to me about God, it was God I guess Himself, introducing himself to me.  It’s really interesting because when I was born the lady who was the birthing nurse knew my mother; she lived in the same area with her.  And she also lived around where my great-grandmother lived because they all lived in the same area.  So when I went to go visit my great grandmother while I was living with my uncle and aunt I would see Mrs. Great, that was her name.  And she would tell me, she would say, “Tyrone, that’s what they called me, that’s my middle name, she said, “When I touched you the Lord spoke to me and she said, “He told me that you are a sovereign vessel and He’s going to use you.”  So It was God Himself who pursued me, I never had anyone other than Mrs. Great that would say that to me, no one as a little kid talked to me about God.  It’s just that I always had an awareness of Him.  And I…

Sid:  Well, you referred to God as your Best Friend; did you back then as a child?

Andre:  Yeah, He was my best friend, you know the scripture, you know that talks about when your Mother and Father put you out, He will take you in.  I have to say, I’ve lived that and He’s proven Himself to be a Father and a Mother and a Brother and Sister.  His testimony about me is basically against what the world says I should be and actually that’s a relation I began to understand from Revelation 19:10 where it talked about the Spirit of Prophesy is a testimony of Jesus.  I know that Bill Johnson, he says that “When a person gives a testimony as a prophetic window about a healing to take place again.” But the Lord spoke to me and he said, “Andre that’s true but it’s more than that” He said, “When the spirit of prophecy comes the testimony of Jesus, it’s my testimony about you that’s in direct contradiction to about what the world says.”  So when the world says that I should have been a drug addict, a sexual aholic, or anything the Lord says “No I put my hand on you and this is who I’ve called you to be.”

Sid:   Now, I find it interesting you joined the Seventh Day Adventist Church and you started singing there in their choir.  When did you find out that you had a gift of singing?

Andre:  Probably about five-six years old.  I always loved to sing, it was always a joy for me to sing.

Sid:  But at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, one of their deficiencies, they have a lot of assets, but one of their deficiencies is they don’t understand the ways of the Spirit and when you would sing solos people would literally feel electricity so they said, “So since God doesn’t do these things it must be the devil.”

Andre:  Ha-ha, yeah and that was really confusing to me.  Because like I said, “I always loved the Lord and I’ve never walked away from Him.”  Of course I’ve done things I wished I hadn’t, but I’ve never walked away from Him.  And when people would come up to me and say “Andre or Tyrone when you were singing the devil tried to get me.”  And I was like “The devil tried to get you?”  And I would go to the Lord and I would say “Why are you letting the devil get people when I’m singing?”  And they would say, “Well, it’s like electricity went from the top of my head to the sole of my feet.”  And I was like, I didn’t know that was the Holy Spirit, I mean I didn’t know what was going on, all I knew was that I loved Jesus an when I sang, I felt close to Him.

Sid:  Well, I’ll tell you something else that it’s amazing that you didn’t have the ability to write songs until a prophetic word came on you and one of the songs you wrote is called.   And we’re featuring this week your CD called “Before the Throne,” is the song I would like to play a selection from is “Changed by Your Love,” tell me about that song.

Andre:  Actually it was a song I wrote with a friend of mine, Scott Brenner and it’s basically talking about how the love of God changes you.  And if we can, the things that I’ve come to realize is if we can get an understanding of the love of God, if we can get an understanding of His passion for us no matter what we walk through in our life it changes us into His image.  So when we understand His love, we become like Him.

Sid:  I’m feeling a presence of God’s Spirit right now, how about you, Andre?

Andre:  Yeah, me too, I really feel His presence.

Sid:  Somehow God wants this message that He doesn’t just love Andre, he doesn’t just love Sid, He’s got enough love to go around for everyone.  Let’s hear, “Changed By Your Love.”

Excerpt of “Changed By Your Love.”

Sid:  Andre I know that many people have said to you that you carry the presence of God, but you really do.  Why do you carry so much presence of God?  How come?

Andre:    Well you know, I think part of it is God’s sovereign choice and the other part is yielding yourself to His Spirit and allowing Him to be who He wants to be through you.

Sid:  What is your passion for people that hear your music, what’s your passion from them?

Andre:  That they would fall more in love with Jesus that they would be healed emotionally, that God would touch the deepest recesses of their heart.  That they would know that there is a God who loves them, who is so passionately in love with them that He gave the best of heaven so that they would be redeemed to Him.

Sid Roth:  I mean, I think that that’s the biggest lie of the devil keeping that fact out of the consciousness of believers.  I mean we fall into that natural realm rather than recognizing what’s going on in the supernatural realm, how much God loves us, how special we are and how He has a destiny in our life.  In fact that’s something else that I hear about your music, that literally people will push into their destiny as they worship God listening to your music.

Karen:   I didn’t cope well, I coped in all the wrong ways, I coped by over working, not being at home whenever I could, and drinking.  And taking antidepressants, which is a horrible thing a horrible combination, but I did not know how to function.

Sid:  Okay, on yesterday’s broadcast we ended with he was enrolled in Special Ed.

Karen:  Correct, and we were so excited he had just became accepted into this program so August 1997 he goes off on his first little day of Special Ed.  And he has his little backpack and we send him across the street and we’re so excited this is going to be exactly what he needs.  And by October things went terribly wrong at the school.  Most of the other Special Ed kids that he was with had various conditions, diseases or disorders and so their behaviors were different.  James was the only one that was physical, aggressive and explosive at times.  He was working on eating the rubber in the class, chewing on their toys and I think for lack of a better phrase, all the other Special Ed kids were well behaved as it were.  And so in October I’m at my Salon and I get a phone call from my husband that Child Protective Services has just come to our house and they have gone to the school and taken James and checked him all over for bruises and want to ask us a series of questions.  Would right now be a good time or do I need to get my thoughts together?  And so when my husband said this on the phone I didn’t know what to do, a wave of heat came over me, I was angry, I was mad, I was upset, I was scared.  And he hands the phone to the child protective services lady and she begins to ask me a series of very personal abrupt leading questions.  “Do you watch the playboy channel?   Are you intimate in front of your child?  Do you think that this is normal that he eats the sheet rock?  And on and on and on and at the end she says, “Well, your answers match your husband’s answers, we’ll leave you a brochure here today of where you can come and see your child with your attorney if we take him into custody.  What you’ll need to do in the next forty-eight hours is you’ll need to take James to your pediatrician and check him for anal tears and enlarged genitals and the pediatrician must write a blind letter back to the state.  Because their assumption was that any child that acted this out of control must be being sexually abused.  And I was undone, I didn’t know what to do for my child, I was doing everything that I knew to do and here we have another attack, a state agency who had obviously received a report from somebody that thought that this child was being hurt.  We would never hurt our child, and so we had to call the pediatrician the next day and when the pediatrician lady office asked you what are you coming in for, she is expected to hear ear infection, temperature, or something like that.  And when we told her it was just dead silence on the other end of the line.  And so we did take him to the pedestrian and they did write the letter to the state and four months later we got a call on Sunday afternoon that there was no validity to the accusations and that the investigation was closed.  And at this point I don’t think that there’s was much more than I could take.  I just didn’t think that I could withstand this onslaught from people, professionals, my child and I needed to find a way to get some control over this but there was nothing about it that was controlled.

Sid:  So what happened next?

Karen:  What happened next is I thought you know they did the best they could and a few months later low and behold there’s another report to CPS.  We had taken our son to a wonderful hospital called Scott & White on to a neuropediatric specialist who had given us Quinidine is a blood pressure medicine and James took a bottle until he was almost six and then he would take a bottle every night.  And she said, “The Quinidine would reduce his blood pressure so he could relax some and actually go to sleep.”  James slept very little, usually about four hours a night and so we were excited we did not want to give him any psychotic drugs; we wanted to still help him.  We didn’t want to just, you know dope him up.  And so we were willing to that and she said, “That there was also one more thing, that for some kids maybe one in 10,000 if you give him some Prozac it reduces their rage.”  And so we were excited about that when he’s raging there is no way to communicate with him or reason with him.  She said, “But you’ll know the first day you’ll crush it up in his bottle and you’ll know that day if it works or not.”  And so we wrote a letter to the teacher, because at this point we’re writing notes back and forth to the teacher.  And I wrote that James will be taking this medicine; let me know how it goes.  The teacher writes home, “James withdrew and was catatonic all day.”  Well, what she was probably happy about he wasn’t flying around the room and eating the walls.  I wasn’t happy about that and so I wrote back that he would not ever be taking this medicine again.  And that low and behold we were reported to CPS that we were not giving our handicapped child his prescribed medication.  Well, at this point you have stirred up the wrong bear, now I’m mad.  And so CPS called us and she said,” Obviously you have somebody that knows your family and the word she used is trigger happy, but by law we have to follow up on every you know, every complaint.  So I drove down to CPS and I had never been through CPS and you ride up with a security officer, all the doors have to be deadbolts on them.  And I walk into a young ladies room, she must be twenty-two years old, had just finished college and I’m in a pile of tears emotional, crying, holding his folder and I said, “Do you know what autism is?”  And she said, “I think I had a class on it in college one time.”  She gave me more no hope and she said, “We can see that you and your husband are definitely trying to help your son and we have no complaint against you at this time.”  What she did do for me is she directed me to MHMR, Mental Heath Retardation and Any Baby Can in the Social Security Office.  Well, this is something that had never been done for me by the school district.  Why had the school district never offered this services to me, I had no idea.  And so I went to the Administrative Office and told them in my normal way that today would be the last day that any of this happened.  And they transferred him to a different school the next week and he started to really progress and do well in that school in a totally different environment.  But James at that point was going to Any Baby Can would take him for a whole day a month, we got twenty hours straight Respet from the state where a Respet worker would come in and take care him and we could leave.  And we were getting about a $500 a month SSI check at that time in 1997 and he had a state physiatrist and we just started getting some help from the state agencies that nobody had ever told us about.

Sid:   Oh, it’s nice that you’re getting help but you’re living a nightmare.

Karen:  We’re living a nightmare.  We’re getting this help but his behavior doesn’t change.  It’s palpable during the week because he gets up and goes off to school and just for a few hours he’s awake at home.  But the weekends were a nightmare, he has no structure, we’re at home, people don’t have structure at home, they just life their lives and he is out of control.  We have a new baby in the house, Page and he’s eating all of her toys, all of her pacifiers and we’re just undone, we have no marriage, we have no communication, it’s just a war zone and he is progressively getting bigger every day.  He’s a big kid and it’s getting worse and worse and we’re coming to a point that we realize that yes we have all these great programs in place.  Yes the state of Texas has given us every possible bit of help that they can.  But pretty soon we’re not going to keep him, pretty soon we’re going to have to put him in an institution; we cannot physically control him.  We cannot gage when his behavior begins or ends, at this point we’re not going anywhere.  Literally our school is across the street, he goes to school and he comes home; we don’t go out to eat we don’t go to a restaurant; we don’t take him to the grocery store; we keep him at home; we are all in prisoned by his condition.

Sid:  Okay, by 1999 Karen, you begin attending a Spirit Filled Bible study, you become Spirit filled and you find out about a deliverance team called “Gospel Revelation Ministries.”  Tell me about that.

Karen: Oh, it was just amazing and in January of ’99 this lady that was one of my clients invited me to her Bible study.  And I was raised in church, I grew up Southern Baptist, had never not gone to church because my relationship with God was sort of fear based.  I thought that God was sort of waiting for you to mess up so He could bonk you on the head and I thought we had to act right, be in good with God.  And since most of my life I didn’t act right, I was pretty sure that I wasn’t in good with God.  And so I started attending this Bible study and they were speaking in tongues; they were raising their hands and worshiping the Lord and there was just this freedom there and it was true.  It was new to me I had never seen it but it was truth and I wanted that, I wanted to have freedom; I wanted to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  And she did a Bible study for us which was amazing and she very quickly told me that there was a deliverance team out of Plano that came to Austin for about six weeks jaunts and they would just see families back to back that had any issues that needed intensive prayer.  I didn’t know what it was but I just figured that I definitely needed it.  I knew that I had a life time of baggage and if I could just reconcile all of my past then, then then I would be able to raise this handicapped child.  Yeah, that’s what God wants me to do; He wants me to be this great handicapped child advocate.  So I signed up for personnel ministry and I met the team March 29, 1999 and their first opening was July of ’99 so I went through personnel ministry.  I thought that it would take ten or fifteen minutes, it took about eight hours.  They teach that adults have little resistance that owns their own behaviors and what becomes roots and strongholds in their lives.  But we went through, I went through deliverance and the team prayed and that all those that were attacking me that held on to me were strongholds and would have to go in Jesus name to the dry places.  And I felt like I could do this and at the very end of the ministry, Sheila Ramsey whose the head of the team, she put her arm on my arm and patted me and she said “I believe that the Lord is saying that we can take James through deliverance for autism.  And bless her heart; I am sure I went “Ah.”

Sid Roth: I’ll tell you what, we’re out of time right now but Mishpochah a miracle happens, her son gets totally healed, I mean totally healed.  … Whatever impossible and it was an impossible situation, whatever impossible situation you’re facing there’s hope for you.

Wesley:  Well, you know I wanted to marry her the whole time I was in Africa, I was praying and everything so.  And you know when we came home it was me that wanted more her than her me I think at that time.  But this experience that she had through praying the scripture, this out of the body experience and God speaking to her then cemented it.  And so we actually got married and we started to you know we started to pursue a life with God; how we could really expand the kingdom of God.

Sid:  Now, your known for praying the scriptures, but God really taught you in a different way, how did that come about?

Wesley:  Well, you know I was such an evangelist, I mean I was on the streets preaching, we were in Africa for a year, I went to a Baptist seminary.  And I have to admit the farthest thing from me was prayer because you know I would sooner go and talk and tell people about God and go to big meetings and eat food, fun, and fellowship.

Sid:  You’re an action guy you don’t want to be cloistered and just praying 24-7.

Wesley:  Yeah, this thing of going in a room and you know telling God what He already knows and asking Him to fix it, I just couldn’t even understand it, couldn’t understand it.

Sid:  So would you say you were pretty much prayer less?

Wesley:  Would say I was prayer less, I mean I really loved God and I would talk to Him in my spirit but I didn’t have prayer times per say, I didn’t pray out loud and I didn’t know what to say.  The only thing I could do was lead prayer meetings because I was more of a leader than I was a prayer.

Sid:  Well, what kind of change occurred?

Wesley:  Well, we had a supernatural revival that happened to us again, Stacy was one of the main catalysts and maybe we’ll tell that in tomorrow’s program which is an amazing story.  But out of that catalyst the Lord began to come upon numerous ones of us who were Baptist and Stacy was one of the first and he literally shock them violently shook them, bounced them up and down and as it were infused them with a Spirit of prophecy.  And they began to prophecy in these thundering voices and I would say like in three months we had 70 shaking prophets in our Baptist church.  Now, here’s the deal when they began to prophecy they said four main themes, there was like four themes and they said this they said, “Revival is coming” and this was 1987 Christmas into 1988.  “Revival is coming,” they said “The children,” they said “The children will do what you have never done,” you know “focus on the children.” They called us to “Mercy and justice” and again, we didn’t do mercy and justice, we didn’t know what the word meant because we were evangelistic in discipleship.  So the concept of mercy and justice, what’s that and why do that, that is probably a waste of money and then the fourth thing that the Lord was most emphatic about was “Pray, pray, pray, I have called you to prayer.”  So He would continually and virtually in every one of these prophetic gatherings He would seize the people and they would just go into these long dissertations and orations about how we must pray.

Sid:   But you didn’t want to pray, you wanted to be an action man.

Wesley:  That’s right and so I actually loved the prophetic meetings and I was kind of like the scribe and I wrote and tape recorded them all.  And so one night we were in this meeting and I had this kind of feeling kind of like oh, troubles coming and sure enough Stacy, you know the Spirit of the Lord comes on her and she begins to shake and she’s doing this like kicking motion like she’s kicking, and chopping with her hands.  And she bounces across the room right in front of me and she comes in front of me with this thundering voice she says “Wesley, Wesley, and then she says, “I have called you to pray.”  And you know I knew that it was God, and then she says you know, “I have been in the closet waiting for you, but you have not come and then she went into this huge dissertation how I’ve been called to pray and if I do not pray this will happen and that will happen.”  And then the Spirit of the Lord came upon David Ruiz and now he was a worship leader and he was also pastor at our church and he rushes across the room again under the Spirit of prophecy and inspiration.  He goes right in front of my noise and he goes “Wesley if you do not pray your ministry will be taken from you like this piece of paper and ripped up and step on the floor,” and he took the notes that I was typing of the prophecy I was writing it and he crumbled it up and stamped on it.  And it was like I went, “Ah you know.”  And I though oh God is going to kill me, God is going to kill me, you know I felt like Moses on the back side of the mountain you know quick get the knife.  And so that was…

Sid:  But you didn’t even know how to pray, so how are you going to follow this prophecy?

Wesley:  So I said, “Okay, I’m going to die, so I went out the next day and I said “Okay here.” I went out and I bought myself an egg timer and I was going to time my prayers and not cheat; so I bought myself a prayer diary, you know I always say jokingly, “If I had been a woman, I would have bought a white dress, candles, incense.”  I came home and I said, “Stacy, you know go shopping, do something, give me the house.”  And I remember I got all set to do this and I just, I was so excited I just set the timer for thirty minutes you know, I’m all alone.  God’s man of prayer for ½ hour and set it up to pray.  And I was praying out loud I said “God, I thank You that you love me and I think you for my salvation and I thank You for the church and I ran out.”  And so I paused and I went, Africa, bless Africa, and I kind a stumbled a bit and I went, looked at my clock and it hadn’t even moved, it wasn’t even one minute.  And so I started again, I said, “God I’m still here, still calling on Your name, still asking You and I started praying and I then I ran out again.”  I said, “China, bless China” and I looked at the clock and it was one minute and this was the truth, I looked up at the ceiling and I said right out loud, I said, “You cannot like this.”  And for the first time I was realizing I’m bankrupt I don’t know how to do it. And that was the beginning of learning how was knowing that I didn’t know how.

Sid:  Well, what was your first step out of curiosity?

Wesley:  My first step was my father use to say “If you don’t know how to do something find someone who knows how to do it better than you.”  And so I heard that Mike Bickle in Kansas City prayed five hours a day.  So I flew to Kansas City to a conference, I got all the tapes, all the CDs, I came home and I listened like you know a hundred cassettes on praying and all this kind of stuff; and through his teaching I figured out that the primary method that he used was praying spiritual words, spiritual truth or spiritual words and he said, “Spiritual words are the Bible.”  And he hammered in “You have to pray the Bible.”  You have to pray the prayers of the apostles, the prayers of Jesus, the Psalms and this was a …

Sid:  And you know this reminds me many years ago I heard Kenneth Hagen speak and he said a turning point in his life is there were two very special prayers in the book of Ephesians that he prayed out loud over and over and over again.  And he attributes that to his major breakthroughs and understanding the invisible world.

Wesley:  Exactly.  So Bickle was the one who kind of set the stage and so stumblingly and haltingly even though my wife did it, you know she did it, she did it differently though, she did it silently and she would kind of like go through each word.  That was to slow for me, I couldn’t do it that way, I had to do it out loud because I’m a very you know, I lose my attention fast, I’m like ADD ADDD and so I would walk around and I took the Bible and I started with Bickle’s because they were doing the Apostolic Prayers and I started with Colossians 1:9 to 11.  That was my first prayer and I started saying it out loud and I remember you know the first time in the prayer room I tried it and I was walking and I was praying Colossians 1:9 and I thought to myself three things to myself.  “Oo, this is really boring, and I thought couldn’t Paul have spiced it up a bit.  And then my second thought was, you know I don’t pray anything like this, I don’t say any of these words, I don’t say any of these phrases, my third thought was if you don’t pray like the Apostle Paul guess who might be wrong.  And so I come back the second day and I started again and it was about a week into this thing that suddenly this thing came like a fire and I was excited.  I started saying those phrases, they became my own words and then I became a fanatic for praying the bible.

Sid:  I understand you prayed Revelations 4 about 100 times out loud, what impact did this have on you?

Wesley:  Oh, more than that, Bickle says you should be reading the Book of Revelation every single week and so I began to do that and I began to pray and he, I don’t know how I got on to this, but somehow I figured it out, I began to pray this Revelation 4, which is the heavenly throne room.  And I realized that if you prayed the visions of God, what the prophet’s saw and you said it out loud then I could be able to start to see heaven in my spirit, like I could close my eyes and I could walk around heaven like you might walk around your house because I said it over and over and over I could every single phrase was like exploding like a Roman candle.

Sid:  Now are you saying to me that you are really in the spirit man walking around heaven or are you just visualizing this?

Wesley:  No for me, for me not Stacy I would be visualizing, visualizing and seeing heaven and it’s so clear and then it moves into, you know you see God doing things and you see the thunders and that.  Stacy on the other hand she actually goes in the Spirit to those places literally.

Sid:  Now you made the statement that the primary means of discipleship is prayer.  I never heard that before.

Wesley:  Well, Jesus told His disciples, you know I read from “Francis of Assisi” it said that Jesus told His disciples to pray not to read.  And we are a reading culture where the Jews were an oral culture.

Sid Roth:  And you know the church doesn’t have a clue about the way the original church used to pray and the way that we know this is from studying ancient Judaism.

Wesley:  Absolutely.  So they prayed the scriptures out loud and so what I found was by, and the Catholic Church, they had what is called the Lacto Divino in Latin, the Devine reading.  And so when we take the scripture and we pray it out loud it’s like reading, meditating and what’s that word, metatachio and as they read it and pray it out loud over and over and over suddenly nuisances of the text come out…

Sid:  I am so excited to be interviewing Todd Coontz right now because Todd you’re talking to man when I watch telethons on Christian TV and I see professional Christian fund raisers on.  And I think you understand the spirit I’m saying this to you in because we’re going to become good friends Todd, but I turn it off because I say “Oh, it’s just that man that’s saying if I give a $1000 everything will turn out right in my life.”  And they’re not even concentrating on like you talked yesterday about feeding.  How many people, children do you feed?

Todd:  Last year, over a million.

Sid:  Yeah, the emphasis isn’t on feeding the million children, the emphasis is “How much money I’m going to get, and it turns me off frankly.”

Todd:  Boy Sid, I can understand that and there are so many even today, and many of the listeners who are turned off by that.  And hopefully today we can maybe answer some of the questions and concerns they may have.  And part of one of the things I want to do today is I want to help, I want to help the listeners understand that there is a right way, there’s a Bible way of prosperity; there is a blessing by obeying God.  But, and I want to emphasis this more than anything else.

Sid:  Let me just interject this, “Many Christians have thrown out the baby with the dirty bath water and let’s stop it, we can’t afford to do it anymore.”

Todd:  Exactly.  Well, we have to get the gospel back into out giving and our sowing.  We’ve got to make God priority and that’s part of not just perpetuating the gospel in Matthew 28.  But it’s part of fulfilling God’s Devine instruction.  You know Sid, the first instruction that God gave Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28 was to multiply, increase and subdue the earth.  God blessed them before He ever told them to do this.  So He enabled them long before they ever began to multiply and increase, but we cannot, we cannot fulfill Matthew 28, the last instruction that Jesus gave us unless we’re multiplying, unless we’re increasing.  But we’ve got to understand that God’s not a Santa Claus, He’s not to be manipulated, but there are principles that He has established and if we do what He says to do and obey Him He will bless us.

Sid:  Now I use the stereotype acknowledgey of the man that gets on TV and says “If you will send $1000 right now your whole life will be transformed.  Actually that happened to you, tell me what happened to you, you were watching TV one day; what happened?

Todd:  It happened more than once in my life, you know I began to learn about a principal in the Bible the principal of Genesis.  It’s the principal of first; it’s called the law of seed time and harvest.  And we look at Genesis 8:22 as long as the earth remains there will be seed, they’re will be time, there will be harvest.  And then you connect it to Galatians 6:7, “Be not deceived, God’s not mocked, whatever you sow, you’ll reap.”  Then you look at Galatians 6:9 and it says, “Do not be weary in well doing, in good things you’re doing, because in due season you will reap if you faint not.”  I was going through a time in my life of great financial loss, a time when I wasn’t making ends meet, a time when I was struggling.  Times when I didn’t have money, my heart was towards God, I was even a preacher preaching, seeing people saved and healed.  But Sid the only part of the gospel that will work for you, or for the listeners right now is the part that you believe, many, many believe parts of the gospel that other do not believe.  I believed God as my Savior, I believed Him as my healer because we talked about it yesterday; God healed me of being hyperactive; ADHD taking Retinalin three times a day.  Yet as a young preacher in my twenties I did not believe God as my Jehovah Jireh.  And I heard a man of God work with my faith, my believing and said, “If you will set aside, he called it uncommon seed, a $1000 seed then you would sow it into the work of God.”  And Sid what stood out to me was he was saying, “Help spread the gospel around the world, help feed hungry children, help mend broken lives.”

Sid:  All right, all right did you feel an inclination from God to give at that moment or did you give because that’s a good thing to give to, which was it?

Todd:  The first thought I had was, “This is a good thing to do I need to be part of this.”  And that’s when God spoke to me and God said, “I want you,” he was actually asking for 70 to sow a $1,000 seed, and God said, “I want you to be one of the 70.”  And Sid, you know I knew God’s voice, and I immediately responded and I planted the $1000 seed.

Sid:  And what happened as a result and how long did it take, out of curiosity?

Todd: I, I, you know this is a program about the supernatural, I mean supernatural things began to happen within 24 hours, literally the heavens opened up on my life.  Within seven days God connected me to a man who literally have sent me around the world to preach the gospel.  God’s given me favor today with over six people who are blessing me.  And Sid, one of the six was a businessman who decided to send me monthly checks every single month via Fed-Ex.  Every month a woman would come to my home with a Fed-Ex envelope and I would open up the envelope and there would be a check.  It was a sizeable check; it was a check that anybody would be happy to see.  This happened month, after month, after month, I say kind of laughingly she came to my house so much that even my wife began fighting me over opening the envelope.  I said, “Don’t open the envelope, I like to open it, and she says “Well, I like to open it too.”  But God began to bless me like I’d never been blessed in the history of my life.  I was telling my mother about it and you know, my mother is my number one prayer warrior without her I wouldn’t be here today.  She believed in me, prayed, even prays for me every day now, intercedes for me.  But I was talking to her on the phone and I was telling her about my miracle harvest from the $1000 seed I planted and about the Fed-Ex and I said “Mom every time I see Fed-Ex I get real excited.  And she said “Oh son, God’s not through blessing you yet God’s probably going to use UPS next.”  And Sid it was, it was almost nonchalant with her like everybody gets check via Fed-Ex; but within 24 hours there’s a knock at my door and there stood the UPS woman.  I opened up the envelope and there was a very sizable check, I mean a large check, and that resulted from a $1000 seed into the work of God.  It was supernatural like nothing I’ve ever known.

Sid:  What you’re saying begs another question, there are many people that watch ministers ask for money and the ministers give  money, but it seems and they’re getting planes one from another.  It seems like it really works for the ministers that have this revelation.   But what about the average Joe, the average person does this really work for them?  I know that it works for the big ministers.

Todd:  Boy, that’s a, that’s a good question because I know that there’s many listening today asking themselves this.

Sid:  I mean I watch on TV and I hear top evangelists say “Well, this minister gave me a plane and then that minister and they’re all kinds of friends and the give planes to each other.  And I have to be candid with you; it makes me a little cynical.

Todd:  Ha-ha well, you’re just saying what a lot of people are thinking.  But let me say this, and this where I come from.  When I look at the Bible and I look at Deuteronomy 28, the blessing chapter.  Sid, if we’re going to throw out Luke 6:38, “Give and it shall be given back to you.”  Then how can we trust God with John 3:16 if we can’t trust God with our finances?  How can we trust Him with our soul?  If God lied about money and blessing, what makes us think that He hasn’t lied about heaven.  And Sid, I want to say this to all the listeners, and I want to challenge them to us their faith and to focus on God as their Jehovah Jireh, not another man, not a person.

Sid:  Well, you know, I’ve always felt when people are forced to do that they realize that God is there and God provides.  But most people or someone that gets sick and then they get their healing and then they understand that realm and they can move in it.  But we’re coming into a time in the history of the US where the dollar could be worth nothing, where if we have to rely on the world system, we’re not going to make it.

Todd:  Well, you know my background is not only as an Evangelist being saved and healed at the age of ten.  But I have over twenty years in the financial business as a professional financial advisor and teacher.  I really believe God’s called me into the Body of Christ to teach Biblical economics.  And Sid there’s two systems of prosperity today, there’s the world’s system of prosperity that’s based on greed.  Get all I can, can all I get, but then there’s God’s system of prosperity based upon giving and obedience.  When we do it God’s way, God will honor it, God will bless us.  And I’m with you on this, I do believe that there are even more difficult economic times coming.  But as a believer we have got to come back to the Bible, what does the Bible say about our finances?  And we’ve got to make God our source, make Him our Jehovah Jireh, not man, not the employer, not Wall Street, not even Washington.  We’ve got to make God our source.  And when we give to God’s work, when we sow seed, we need to do that knowing that God is going to take care of us because He is our source of supply.

Sid Roth:  Okay, our time is slipping away, but I want you to know that number one, Todd Coontz is unusual in that he does have twenty years of experience in the financial arena and in investments.

Sid:  I am so excited to be interviewing Dr. LaDonna Taylor because LaDonna has a gift from God.  When she plays the violin people with fear and discouragement, even suicidal, it just disappears.  And as a matter of fact, people report they can feel the pain from they various arthritic conditions of pain of any kind.  It’s literally sucked out of them and many report feeling the presence of angels.  LaDonna yesterday we found out a bit about your heritage, when you were twelve, miracles started happening but in the year 2000 there was a change rather than miracles just happening, some of the things that you saw as a young child started happening in your ministry, there was an explosion of the miraculous.  What made the difference, I’m curious?

LaDonna:  Well, the Lord had been dealing with me about full time ministry for just a few months.  If you had ever told me I would enter full time ministry at any point in my life, I would have thought that it was ridiculous.  But the Lord had been dealing with me about it and in the first church service, there must have been fifty or sixty people came forward at the end of the service to have hands laid on.  I just told my life story, I didn’t know what else to do, and the Lord healed every single one of them.

Sid:  Again, as I read the New Testament that is normal, I don’t know what God has shown you, but you know what God has shown me?  That we are about ready to enter into normalcy in Christianity.  Well what do you discern?

LaDonna:  I am so convinced that it’s just another day in the Kingdom for us to lay hands on people out in the stores, as we go shopping, in the restaurants, it’s the normal thing.  I have, so many ministers say to me, “Oh, I wish I could see the miracles that I see when I’m overseas, when I’m in Africa or India.”  When I’m here I don’t understand why people say that, I see them all the time, the very same thing wherever I’m at; when I’m in Australia, if I’m in Ireland, if I’m in England or if I’m in the United States.

Sid:  Now, you proclaim that miracles are going to happen.  How important is that to proclaim it before you play the violin?

LaDonna:  God loves for you to believe that He can do anything,

Sid:  But wait a second, if you proclaim it, and nothing happens aren’t you in big trouble?

LaDonna:  I can’t do miracles, God does them and He loves it when you proclaim that.

Sid:  You know I talk before many groups of unsaved Jewish people and God had me do the same thing. I have to tell you when I first started doing it I was very concerned because these people wouldn’t just walk up off and gossip about me, it could be a whole lot worse than that.  But I found out that every time I proclaimed it, it happened.

LaDonna:  Every time.

Sid:  How about you, every time?

LaDonna:  The very same thing, every time.  And I have in my heart, well my calling you know, I have my violin and I have the notes there and when I play I don’t understand how He gets mixed up in the notes, but I really know how to put that violin under my chin and connect with God.

Sid:  Well, as you are playing the violin, I ask many musicians this, but I’m really curious about you.  As you play the violin, do you sometimes find yourself in another realm?

LaDonna:  Absolutely, I do find myself in another realm; it’s a connection to Him.  If I worship Him and truly step into that other realm with that violin under my chin then God will come close and bless the people.

Sid:  Now, you have literally over a dozen times heard music from heaven, it’s hard to explain in English, what something so supernatural was like but do your best; tell me what it was like.

LaDonna:  Alright, for a musician I could say this, there are, there are many many many more notes in the chords than any music we’ve ever heard on earth.  In the choir there’s many many many more notes and vocal sounds than anything we’ve ever heard on earth.

Sid:  You know just as you’re talking about the music from heaven I’m starting to tremble, this is an awful thing to say, but I was thinking to myself, I’m glad this isn’t the TV show, I’m glad this is the radio so no one could see what’s going on with me right now.  But it’s almost you’re bringing heaven in as you’re talking about what you heard.

LaDonna:  Every time I’ve heard it, it’s like you your somewhere else.  I remember every time looking around like; where’s that coming from?  Where’s that coming from in my mind, but my spirit was such a beautiful heavenly sound that like you said, really can’t be explained.

Sid: Now very briefly, how in the world did you get the city of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra to back up your music?  How’d you do that, how’d you pull that off?

LaDonna:  What a big miracle, the Lord spoils me so many times.  I was praying, I felt like I needed some new sound tracks, I had been in ministry a couple of years and I was praying, “Lord if you can just send me a great guitarist, if you could just send me a great pianist, I need some new music.”  I received a phone call from someone I didn’t know in Nashville who was the President of a music company that eventually signed me to their label.  They had all this music that they had done with Prague and they wanted me to play the violin along with the Prague Symphony.

Sid:  Let me ask you this question, I had the privilege of meeting Kathryn Kulman and being on her television show, a guest and going to her meetings. And she had certain songs that she knew the Holy Spirit liked.  And she would repeat these songs, do you find that also true with you?

LaDonna:  I absolutely fine that true.  Many times, well like Kathryn Kulman, I have my songs that I know that are going to usher in the presence.

Sid:  Alright for instance we are going to play; we just have a few minutes, “Here I Am to Worship” with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.  What happens when you play that song, “Here I am to Worship.”  Most of us are familiar with that song.

LaDonna:  When you move into worship with Him, it’s as though you look eyes with Him.  It’s as though you reach out to touch Him, He always comes close; that’s what happens.  Because when He comes close He’s full of healing, and He’s full of everything that you need.

Sid Roth:  Well, get ready here is LaDonna Taylor with “Here I Am to Worship”
