It's Supernatural

SID: Now, my guest has been in ministry many years, but he had a life changing encounter that has changed his life in the most phenomenal way. And he has been changing as many people’s lives since he had this supernatural breakthrough as he possibly can because frankly, every believer needs this. What is the sin of bloodline iniquities?

BILL: Well Sid, bloodline iniquity is actually the generational transfer of self-will. The word iniquity essentially, when you look at the roots of it, is self-will.

SID: Meaning the opposite of God-will.

BILL: Exactly. Iniquity was what infected the human bloodline from the garden of Eden, even up till today.

SID: So, someone like you could be dealing with a lifetime problem. And number one, it had nothing to do with you. It had to do with an ancestor whose name you don’t even know, and who’s deed you don’t even know, but you’ve been a believer a long time and you’re still dealing with this. And you know you are, you’ve been able to cover it up, but I want to know about how God revealed this to you. Here’s the point I want to make, when you find out how God revealed this amazing supernatural gift that every believer has, it’s not just for what he’s talking about. It is for everything. I mean, everything that you’re dealing with in your life. You had…there’s lots of people that have anger problems…but you had an anger problem as a young child. What did you use to do?

BILL: When I was just a little guy at the toddler age, my mother told me that I would get so angry and frustrated at certain times, I’d get down on all fours and beat my head on the floor until I had a bruised place on my forehead. Now, that’s not natural or normal behavior for a toddler. And obviously, as I got older, I grew out of that type of behavior but I still had a very serious problem with very intense anger, a short fuse. I’m not just talking about getting mad at stuff, I’m talking about literally going nuclear with my emotion of anger.

SID: You know, it’s hard to believe because I don’t know you well, but I’ve spent time with you yesterday. I don’t see that person. I don’t even see it under the surface.

BILL: The iniquity is gone. When I got born again in 1977, that anger didn’t leave me. Now, there were some sins that I was involved in that I got completely delivered of. I literally had a love affair with tobacco, and I’d eat it, smoke it, chew it, you name it. I loved tobacco, supernaturally delivered from that. I was supernaturally delivered from alcohol. I was a borderline alcoholic at the point that I got born again at age 22, but the anger didn’t leave me. It was just as strong after I got born again as just what it was before. So, my wife and I were married in 1982 and she became the brunt of my short trigger. And the first five years of our marriage were not fun. I realized if I don’t get a handle on this, I’m going to destroy my marriage. So, I cried out to God and asked him, you’ve got to help me with this.

Well, he began to teach me how to use my faith to control the anger, but I wasn’t delivered from it. And as long as I stayed strong in the word and strong in faith and didn’t let up on it, I’d be able to catch myself and not let the anger run wild. But if I ever got lazy in the word or tired, then that thing would take over again, and obviously that—

SID: And here you are in ministry, you’re a believer all these years and you cannot get a grip on this anger.

BILL: Exactly.

SID: What did you think was going on?

BILL: Well, I had all kinds of thoughts about it. I thought maybe I’ve got a devil or whatever. I didn’t know. I was willing to go through whatever kind of deliverance I needed to go through to get free from it, but—

SID: But you wouldn’t have gotten free with what most Christians call deliverance.

BILL: No, no, because it wasn’t a spirit. A spirit was taking advantage of the iniquity that gave him the legal right to.

SID: It’s a legal thing.

BILL: It’s a legal thing.

SID: You did nothing wrong.
