Sid Roth welcomes Shane Warren
Sid: A complete dwelling place of God and just as I said that pop, someone’s neck and that person with the pain of bursitis is gone, the person with the pain in the hip it is gone in Jesus name. Person with the pain in their back it’s gone in Jesus name. Why is this being activated in me right now? I can tell you why because there is such a presence of God in this studio. I have Shane Warren by way of telephone, he’s senior pastor of first assembly of in West Monroe, Louisiana. On yesterday broadcast we heard about an experience in which he was caught up out of his body and he saw things mortal men just don’t see. And been commissioned to come back and teach this to others. Why? Because time is running short; whet their appetite Shane one of the Jewish holy books the commentaries excreta they identify something called Messianic miracles. And one Messianic miracles, and that’s why in the New Testament that was such an uproar by the religious people when a man born blind got his sight back, that happened in your church because of the presence of God being so high. Tell me about that.
Shane: Several years ago, I had taken this church, and I was seeking God, our youth had been to a conference and they had come back. We had had a phenomenal time in our Sunday morning service, but on Sunday night when we came together and usual atmosphere filled the building. It was a holy glorious heavy kind of atmosphere filled the building. Immediately people began to worship in ways I hadn’t seen them worship. When I say that it almost got wild it was like a party Sid that everybody was so joyous and overwhelmed and it was a glorious thing. And in that moment the Lord spoke to my heart and He said “I want you to pray for people to be filled the Spirit.” So I opened it up and I said, “Is there any you’re here to today and you have not yet been filled with the Spirit tonight I want you to come to the front.” I was shocked when about 200 people ran to the front and made their way across our altar. There was man in our church by the name of Sammy. Sammy had been attending our church for sometime; I watched as Sammy was totally blind, if he took his glasses off his eyes kind of bounced around his dark glasses, he carried a white walking cane and his wife, his little precious wife would lead him everywhere in the church, to the Sunday school classes and all kinds of things like that. Well I looked over and Sammy was standing with his wife in the far corner and when I went to pray for him I said, “Sammy what do you want?” He said, “I want to be filled with the Spirit that you talked about.” I laid my hand upon his head, he fell to the floor and began to pray in a heavenly language that God had given him. So I immediately just started bounding around you know there’s several hundred people needing to be prayed for and while I’m praying one of my ushers runs up on the platform and grabs me and spins me around. And He’s having to scream at the top of his voice because everybody’s so loud the music is so loud it’s a celebratory atmosphere and he says “Pastor Shane,” he said, “The blind man can see, the blind man can see, the blind man can see.” Well, I turned and looked across this forty to fifty foot platform, I looked over to my left in the corner, and Sammy had his dark glasses off, he was looking at his wife, both of them were crying. She was holding up fingers and he was mimicking what she was holding up. I immediately ran over to him and I said, “Sammy, what’s going on?” He said, “Pastor when I was down on my knees.” he said, “I had my eyes closed,” and he was talking about his eyelids; he said, “I had my eyes closed and I was praying and all of a sudden something said to me, “Open your eyes.” And he said, “When I opened my eyes I could see through my sunglasses, through my dark glasses.” He said, “I can see, I can see!” I brought him up on the platform, he could tell us what things were in the back of the room, what colors were hanging on the wall. He could tell you, you know, there’s a clock in a certain area, there was something else in another area; a person in a certain color shirt.” And we have a very large facility it seats about 1,500 people and to our amazement God swept through and opened Sammy’s eyes.
Sid: What was wrong with his eyes, why was he blind, do you know?
Shane: There was optical nerve damage with his eyes.
Sid: How do you know this, did he tell you or did a doctor tell him?
Shane: Doctors reports that we had received where he brought them to us; he was part of Hadley School of the blind which was is in Reston, Louisana.
Sid: So he was born blind.
Shane: Yeah.
Sid: He had never seen his entire life!
Shane: Yeah, to my understanding he had never seen.
Sid: You know what makes this miracle even more incredible is the doctors say his nerves are still disconnected to this day yet he works as a computer programmer and he can see; can you imagine what effect that must have had on him? What effect did it have on the congregation?
Shane: Immediately Sid miracles broke out all over the building, my own secretary, well I say my secretary, one of my bookkeepers of my ministry her daughter her eyes were crossed, her eye sight was so bad that her glasses looked like the bottom of coke bottles. For her it was something difficult for this little girl to deal with. And all of sudden the next night I see my youth pastor across the sanctuary holding up fingers and I look across to where he’s pointing to. There is my Bookkeeper’s daughter, her eyes are straight as an arrow, her glasses are off and she’s doing everything. God started opening deaf ears in our service, we had people that had cancer in their body. Nobody, and I want to make sure I give God the glory here, nobody laid hands upon these people. As we worshipped God I believe the angels of God began to go around and minister the gifts of healings to individuals, I’m telling you it was the most miraculous thing, our church broke out in revival.
Sid: Isn’t that a foretaste of what is coming worldwide right now?
Shane: Oh, what I’m telling you right now Sid is the will of God for every church; for every believer in Jesus Christ it is the will of God; I don’t care where they are in the world, in America, it is the will of God. You know somebody said to me, “Miracles are the dinner bell of the gospel,” I said, “No my friend, they’re the whole package, they’re the whole package!” And so I believe that is the will of God. I mean even now, oh, my faith is so stirred as I’m sitting here talking to you for miracles, for even your listeners right now, that if they have sickness in their body to believe God right now and begin to worship Him I believe that sickness will be broken off of them.
Sid: Why don’t you worship, we only have a couple minutes I want you to worship God and I want everyone that is listening to Shane worship God, worship with him just for two minutes would you do that Shane?
Shane: Yes. Hallelujah Father, glory we give You glory God; Ancient of Days we magnify You Lord and we lift you up. For you have the Name that’s above every Name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee must bow and every tongue confess. Father Your Name is above cancer, Your Name is above migraines, Your Name Lord is above every sickness, and every disease, and every malady, and every malfunction, and they must bow their knee to the Name of Jesus. Holy Spirit go right now through the airways and begin to touch; may Your power pass through the airways, touch every believer and confirm the word that I’m speaking to them now through signs, wonders, and miracles. Demonstrate this gospel because You are a living Jesus, a living Jesus, and we magnify You God. We give You the glory that You deserve and honor that You deserve. May the presence of God feel every room, every car right now as they listen in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I give You thanks for it Master, I give You thanks for it Master; Hallelujah.
Sid: Shane are you able to live in the throne room 24-7 anytime you want to?
Shane: A person can live in the glory of God 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Sid: Why would anyone not want to? I guess it’s because most people don’t know how or don’t know that’s even possible.
Shane: They don’t know who they are in Jesus Christ, they don’t know their benefits as a believer. They don’t know the access that they have to the Heavenlies because of the Holy Blood that Jesus shed at Calvary for them.
Sid: Now why do you call your book “Secrets of the Well?”
Shane: It’s named after the woman in John chapter four who set down at a well with Jesus, this woman’s life was in a total shambles, she didn’t know where to turn and Jesus visited her at that well and He gave her a secret that turned her life right side up.
Sid: The thing that is so amazing, is when Shane shares these secrets from having been caught up into the Heavenlies, this is what he says occurs, #1. You get the attention of God; #2. How to worship to get the attention of God. He says #3. Every war, every battle can be won. He says #4. It’s time to remove the ceiling from your worship, you will have a breakthrough in every situation of your life.
