Our Guest Marilyn Hickey
SID: Can you imagine a woman speaking in a mosque about Jesus, Muslims present and miracles take place? How did you do that, Marilyn?
MARILYN: It’s the favor of God, really, Psalms 5:12, because I wanted to have a healing meeting in a mosque and break this barrier. Because once you break it, a lot of other people, it has a domino effect. So I met an imam in Detroit, asked him about doing this. He said, “No, we would never do that.” But then, you don’t give up until you win. The game is not over until you win.
SID: You talk about, “I can”. What do you mean by that?
MARILYN: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. You don’t say, I can’t, because everybody said you can’t. It’s never been done, it’s not gonna happen with you. But it happened, because when I was getting ready to leave, and I wasn’t discouraged, he said to me, the next time you’re in Detroit, why don’t you come to my house for dinner. Six months later I’m in Detroit. He said, “Now what is it you want to do?” I said, “I want to have a healing meeting in a mosque, and I want to pray for the sick and believe for the miraculous.” He said, “We can do that.”
SID: I want you to say, “I can do all things in Messiah Jesus.” Do you hear that, devil? You’re not saying it for anyone else’s benefit but the devil, and we’re to release the angels to even have a healing meeting and presentation of Jesus in a mosque. What happened?
MARILYN: Well I spoke, first time in history, and we had an agreement. I could teach the Bible. I taught one miracle of Jesus and then prayed for the sick.
SID: Was anyone healed?
MARILYN: Oh yes. We had people healed of back problems. The boy who opened the meeting who read from the Koran, couldn’t see, they had no distance sight, and God healed him. A lot of people were healed, though it wasn’t a big crowd. But afterwards, they always have refreshments, and they had like 11 imams and maybe a hundred people. And so I just decided to go from table to table, and they would say, would you pray for my family, would you pray for my back, would you pray, whatever, and pray for the sick. And then the imam invited me back. I prayed for him and his wife. They couldn’t have babies. And now they have two.
SID: That’s normal. I wish the whole world was normal like you, Marilyn. Now Marilyn, one thing I noticed is many people like you that operate in the miraculous, when you get sick, what happens? Like the time you discovered a lump in your breast, not someone else’s.
MARILYN: Right. And that was many years ago. But I took that scripture, because you take the promise to the problem. You don’t take the problem to God. Take the promise that goes with the problem because the promise doesn’t return void. So it says, “The Word will be health to your flesh.” And health in some places it says “medicine”. So I thought, you know, you usually take medicine three times a day, but I got to get rid of this thing fast, because it was growing fast. So I stayed up for 24 hours and sent the Word into that lump. I said, this word, I read it out loud, “This Word is health to my flesh.”
SID: Over the 24 hours, how often did you say that?
MARILYN: Okay, every hour. I did it for 24 times and it was gone. It was gone.
SID: I love it. I love being normal.
MARILYN: I do, too.
SID: Okay, Marilyn, I got a little confession to make. I find it difficult to memorize, and I think there’s a few people watching that find it difficult to memorize. Tell us some tips on memory, and also, you told me something about what happens the last thing you look upon or speak about before you go to bed. Start with that.
MARILYN: Alright. Proverbs 6:22 says, “When you sleep the Word will keep you, when you wake up the Word will talk to you, and when you walk the Word will guide you.” So three times a day I take a verse, you may want to take just one week, and I say that verse first thing in the morning, because it’s not just you reading the Bible. The Bible starts reading you. And I speak that verse 10 times out loud. Now don’t ask me why it’s 10. I just know this works for me. Then at lunch time I speak that promise again, because the Word guides me in my day. But before I go to sleep I speak it because, this is what I read, that whatever you see last goes through your mind seven times through the night. So the Word is working in me while I’m sleeping.
SID: So what is the last thing that you see before you go to bed? I think you got the message. What if we put on our Twitter account and Facebook account one scripture every week, and all of us do it together. I think that would be just a phenomenal mentoring for us.
MARILYN: Oh yes. I would suggest John 8:12. It says, “Jesus said, ‘I am the light of the world. He that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.'” So speak that when you get up in the morning. You’re not going to have a dark day. Why? Because you’re following Jesus, and he’s the light for this life, as well as eternal life.
SID: I want you to pray for supernatural favor for our viewers right now.
MARILYN: Oh I love this. I love to do this. Every one of you are to have supernatural favor. Don’t look at anything about yourself. Look at who he is, and you are in him. Father, I pray for everyone watching this program that Psalms 5:12 says, “You surround the righteous with favor like a shield.” And we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. It’s his righteousness and we are surrounded with favor. Every place we go people love us. Every place we go we love them. We walk down an aisle in a store and we smile, Jesus, and people smile back at us because they know there is a favor around us in Jesus’ name. Amen.
SID: There’s not just a favor around us. The presence of God is around us.
MARILYN: Yes.
SID: And I tell you, if God is for you, who can be against you. I tell you, worry for nothing. I tell you that you have a peace that is beyond comprehension. I tell you, you can do exceedingly abundantly beyond anything, anything you’ve ever asked or thought, according to the power that dwells within you. I tell you all things are possible to those who believe. I tell you God loves you and has a destiny and a plan for your life, and Jesus is the only way to know God, only way.
