It's Supernatural

Sid:  Now, if you know me I am so intrigued with Gifts of the Holy Spirit that have been refined over the years that are role models for us to learn from.  And I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he said that he had a friend that people that are pretty high up in ministry, people like a Kenneth Copeland really looks forward to hearing prophetic words from this man.  I said, I’ve got to meet him so we called him on the phone.  His name is Dean Sikes and I have him on the telephone right now.  Dean, I understand that you really were moving in this gift of prophecy and you didn’t even understand what you had at one point.  Is that true?

Dean:  That is so true, Sid.  You know I,  when I realized that God had called me in the ministry I didn’t know what He had called me to do, I just knew that there is something happening on the inside of me and low and behold suddenly the Spirit of God began to just show up in my life.  And I as saved and I serving God, but I wasn’t operating in the prophetic like I am now way back then and when I discovered that the Holy Ghost is real, that He’ll talk today and he uses people as a messenger, my life changed.

Sid:  In fact, explain to me the call that God put on your life; my notes say that you were told you are a messenger for His people.  What does that mean?

Dean:  You know, if you go the Old Testament, messengers and prophets are synonymous.  And I was in our back yard one day and the Lord asked me a question and when he asked me that it so caught me off guard.  He said, “Do you know what I’ve called you to do?”  I said, “Well, I sure think I do, but if you’re asking I sure want to listen.”  And He said, “I’ve called you to be a messenger, and messenger does two things they receive messages and they deliver messages; He said for the rest of your life Dean, you will do three things, you’ll hear My voice, deliver My messages and share your testimony.”  And Sid that is what I do everyday all over the place.

Sid:  You know, most people that are listening to us would give anything for God to say that to them.  And one of the things that God has told you teach on is to discover your destiny.

Dean:  Yeah.

Sid:  Now before this week is over were going to show people how to discover their destiny, but I got together with you a few days ago.  You just circumstantially you happen to be in this next city to where I live.  And when I got you on the phone this morning you said that you wished you had had time because you had a word to give me and I said, hold that thought give it to me on the air.  But then I said to you, it’s not bad is it?  I was just teasing.  Would you tell me what God showed you, just tell me.

Dean.  Absolutely I will.  You know that I’ve been in 2^nd Kings where Hezekiah was really going through some times and the Word says that God heard his cry and he’s seen your tears and he will surely heal you and on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.  And here’s the Word that I got for you that was “He’s going to add, if you want it, fifteen more years to your life.”  You know people said, how do you make that kind of statement, especially on the airways?  Well, if you know God’s voice, you know I believe the most important thing that anyone will ever do is hear the voice of God; and I think the second most important thing anyone of us will ever do is obey what we just heard.  And so when he told me that he was adding fifteen more years to your life, if you wanted the fifteen years there yours.  I really got excited because the word that I had for you when I saw you earlier was that “I had not seen, ear have not heard nor had entered into the heart of man the exact amount of work that God still has for you to do.”  And my thing to you is, you know your work in what you are doing in reaching so many people, there’s still an abundant amount of work left to be done with your name assigned to it.  So I believe that’s why God has extending the time and that’s why God is pulling people into your life and I believe you are going to see some doors open for you that you are going to just and here’s the word going to astound the doubter.

Sid:  Well, you know between you and me and those Mishpochah that are listening, I have a grave concern and my grave concern is Christians throughout the world are more enamored with developing their friendship with Jewish people which means they can’t share Jesus then they are the Kingdom of God.  And there are too few Christians sharing Jesus with their Jewish friends because they’ll offend and how can you call on Him whom you have not heard.  And the average Jewish person doesn’t really have a handle on who Jesus is.  Oh, they know that Jesus is for the Gentiles, for the Christians.

Dean:  Right.

Sid:  And I just know that this is God’s time and interesting enough with the word that you just gave me Dean simultaneous to and you told me the first part of it from 2^nd Kings previously, someone came from Ethiopia just to see me and said if I would change my eating habits, God would extend my life into the nineties and he said something very similar to what you said.  So I guess you need two or more witnesses, I’ve got my two.

Dean:  You’ve got your two.  That’s right and you know the only reason God would extend life is, if you look in John 17 Jesus glorified, the word says “I glorified you on the earth; I finished the work you gave me to do.  When we finish, Jesus didn’t retire, dear Lord, He did His work and went to Heaven, He got out of here and so if we’re not through with our assignment and we’ve not finished out work then I fully believe that God still extends our days so that we can fulfill that calling.  If you look at the Word, the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable, the gifts are plural the calling is singular.  When we are in our one calling, all of our gifts work together for the successful accomplishment of that one thing that we’re called to do.

Sid:  Now, tell me about the word that you had for the congressman that is now running for governor.

Dean:  Oh yeah, there’s a guy that is running for Governor and he’s in the United States Congress now and God had really put him on my heart.  I said Lord you’re, I know him and he and I have met but as far as having access to him I don’t in the natural and You are going to have to do it if you want me to get this Word to him.  Well, it was about ten days, I just kept believing God because it was on my heart and I spoke to someone who knows him and said the Lords really spoken to me about this race and about him and about how he is the person that God has chosen to be in that office.  I believe I’m supposed to give him that word but I don’t have access here’s my cell number.  If he’s interested call me.  About nine thirty at night my phone ring with an unfamiliar I didn’t know the number and it was the United States Congressman telling me hey Dean, good to talk to you I’ve heard you have heard from God.

Sid:  How important was the Word that you delivered to him?

Dean:  You know when you operate in the prophetic you have to always understand that again, God spoke through a donkey so there’s hope for us, you know.  I try my best to stay very humble and go you know.  God can speak through anyone who’s open, but the word that He gave me was so important to this campaign that I was able to watch the gubernatorial debate and the Word that I gave this congressman, as I said it to him he said it across the airwaves and it had literally turned the race around.  So you know it’s one of those things that Brother Copeland teaches a lot that one word from God can change your life.  I stand on that too.  When God speaks He doesn’t just say it for no reason there’s always a reason and I think the key to us is obeying what we’re hearing.

Sid:  Now, when you were a young man about fifteen, you were abused and it put a scar on you and at twenty-one you reached a point where you said, you know I’m reading your Word God, but I’m not seeing much in my life and I want you to prove yourself and what happened?

Dean:  Well, it was that’s how it went down, mine was probably much more just kind of sand paper rubbing against a wall, I was like God; I don’t know it you are real or not.  I have been in church all my life; I have gone to Christian schools.  I don’t know you, I feel kind of stupid talking to somebody I don’t even think exists, but if by chance I’m wrong would you just please show up in my life and prove to me that you are real.  And Sid, two weeks went by I forgot that I had even prayed that prayer.  I had been at lunch, I was back in my office working in real estate development, our company had a couple of air planes.  We had a Condo in Florida, I had stuff but more importantly and much more to the point, the stuff had us and I was in trouble.  I was sitting in this office, dialing the phone, and off behind me I heard a voice that would change my life.  Two words changed my life and they were call Mom.  And I didn’t say, what if.  I dialed 344-7443 the phone rang six times, seven times on the eighth ring my mother answered the telephone and when she said hello, I knew instantaneously that something was terribly wrong for in that moment in time, I now know God by His Spirit said to me “Call Mom.” And I audibly heard him and at that moment my mother was attempting suicide.  She was dying; I could hear the life leaving her voice.  I ran out of my office, got into my car went up interstate 75 to a little community called Ooltewah, Tennessee drove into my parents neighborhood, I saw their home and from the outside in everything looked fine; from the inside out my Mom was dying.  How many millions of people do you and I get to communicate with who from the outside in appear to have it all together, but from the inside out they are in their own little private search wondering how did life turn out this way?  Does God really exist?  Is there a plan for me?  Is this person Jesus, real?  Well, when I beat on that door that day, my Mom came down some stairs she was barely alive, I picked her up, carried her to her car, drove her down interstate 75 to Partridge Hospital in Chattanooga, Tenn.  On the way to the hospital, she said I cannot be dying.  I said, Mom hang on you’re not going to die, but your choices create your circumstances.  You’re going to have to choose life; you’re going to have to speak life.  When God created the world He spoke, when he created you and I to be in His image, we understand that God created His world by His words and then He created us to be like Him our words create our worlds.  So I just knew how to pray a little bit, I said God, this is what happened, you’re not surprised by this, you are going to half to save my Mom’s life, I know that you are not through with her.  To cut to the end of that story a miracle happened in that hospital.  The doctor said to my father, it’s a miracle there’s no medical reason to explain this.  She is alive, she’s fine she can go home tomorrow morning and she did and she’s doing great today.

Sid:  But this changed your life.  You no longer wonder, is God real?  I tell you what we’re out of time, but we have gone through some powerful teaching by Dean Sikes and we selected two teaching CD’s.  One is called “The power of Petition,” which is a key to get your prayers answered in the most astounding fashion you’ve ever seen.  And the second CD is “Discover You Destiny” and he has supernatural steps that you can find out why God has put you on planet earth and what you are suppose to do.  By the time this week is over you are going to discover how you can find your destiny.  We have a tool that will do it.
