Our Guest Jamie Galloway
JAMIE: And it just completely wrecked me! It transformed my heart!
ART: That’s awesome! Now I think you and I would agree that encounters are supposed to be a normal part of the Christian life but what do you say to the Christian who’s like well I’ve never had one of these encounters. Am I even saved you know? Like where do I fit in this picture?
JAMIE: Yeah. It’s everyone has an opportunity to encounter God. The loving-kindness of God!
ART: Yeah.
JAMIE: And I feel every one of us, can make decisions that celebrate that.
ART: Uh-huh!
JAMIE: Or actually put that to the side. You know and if we begin to celebrate it – and that looks like hunger.
ART: Uh-huh!
JAMIE: That looks like I’m wanting this. I want a connection. I think of it like a 5-bar connection!
ART: Uh-huh.
JAMIE: Right?
ART: Uh-huh.
JAMIE: So when you have 5 bars on our phone, right? I paid for a 5- bar connection.
ART: Yeah.
JAMIE: I’m sure you do right?
ART: Yeah.
JAMIE: And we travel. We want it – we want international connection. We want you know – and yet why does that only get one bar when I paid for 5? Why is it the believer is getting a 1-bar connection when Jesus paid for all 5? They have the ability to connect and have full range! Right? The full spectrum?
ART: That’s good!
JAMIE: God speaking to us. Visitations. Encounters. Dreams. Visions. Right?
ART: Uh-huh.
JAMIE: Love baptisms. Intimacy. Right? And then to be a voice. To prophesy. To share with others the secrets that God is sharing with you! Why can’t we turn on these other 4 bars? And I think that’s something that we begin to step into when we celebrate!
ART: Yeah! So like how do you even do that? Where do you start?
JAMIE: Yeah. It’s one: people need to get over what they’ve not experienced and not let their lack of experience become their bar.
ART: Yeah.
JAMIE: Right? Some people don’t experience something and they almost wear it like a badge!
ART: Yeah right!
JAMIE: Right. Well, I’m not the one that gets healed. You’ll hear them say that.
ART: Yeah. Yeah.
JAMIE: I’m the one that everybody prays for and doesn’t get healed.
ART: Uh-huh.
JAMIE: And that’s not a badge.
ART: Right.
JAMIE: There’s nothing to be proud about.
ART: Yeah.
JAMIE: Right? Now that’s a sad story and I’ve heard that said before. I’m like well today’s your day!
ART: Yeah. [laughing]
JAMIE: We’re going to step into a miracle right now!
ART: Uh-huh!
JAMIE: I believe God wants to touch you! And so people need to get over what it is that they’re not encountering and begin to trust God that He’s bigger!
ART: Right.
JAMIE: He’s bigger than my lack of encounter! And then the other side – I mean so many people they experience something and they let that be their bar.
ART: Yeah.
JAMIE: Right? And I’m saying there’s more!
ART: Yeah!
JAMIE: There’s more! Celebrate it! Ask God for the more! Let Him touch you and it’ll change everything!
ART: That’s awesome! I think one of the things I want to do with you in a little bit here is I want to start talking about the specifics of how do we enter into these – you know how do you have a vision? How do you – what does that even look like? How do you recognize it when it’s happening is maybe another way to put it? But right now what would you say to the person who is just like really, really hungry right now and they’re like I don’t even want to wait until it’s over. Like how do I encounter God right here right now?
JAMIE: Art, I would say to them don’t give up! Press in! And just put your hands out and celebrate the goodness of God! Just simply receive! So many are in the posture of I press in, press in, press in. But when I press in, it’s an opposite. I press in not by striving but by receiving!
ART: Yeah. We’re going to take a little break here and as we do it I want you to just try that out! [music begins] Just take a minute. So set back, rest in God’s presence and receive and celebrate the goodness of God! [music ends]
Our Guest Art Thomas
ART: Yeah, Jesus paid for 100% so right now I speak 100% healing to that body. No more pain in Jesus” name. All right. Test it out again. Any change? Specifically right now I’m just feeling my right ear. Is that bad pizza or is there someone here with a right ear problem? Yeah. So c’mon over. What’s it do? Is it—
WOMAN #3: It’s like when I plug this up I’m not able to understand what you’re saying. You’re like muffled. I’ve been—
ART: Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. All right. Open up in Jesus” name right now. All right. I’m talking the same volume. Any change? Oh yeah. You’ve got to plug that up. Test it again. And be honest, not polite. Yeah. Any change yet?
WOMAN #3: A little.
ART: A little? A little’s great. Yeah. Thank You Jesus for a little. All the way is better. (laughs) Yeah. 100% in Jesus name. Check that out. Any change? Still talking the same volume?
WOMAN #3: Uh, uh. No. It’s getting better.
ART: It’s getting better? Wow. That’s awesome. Thank You Lord. 100% healing in Jesus” name. Open up right now. Open up right now. Check that out. Still the same volume? Any difference?
WOMAN #3: Still the same.
ART: Still the same? Okay. That’s fine. Open up in Jesus” name. 100%. Thank You Lord. You folks realize how awesome this is? (laughs) How many of you this is the most miracles you’ve ever witnessed?
WOMAN #3: It just went up!
ART: That’s awesome. It just went— This is awesome!
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING)
ART: All right. Try that out again. Any, any difference? Still going—
WOMAN #3: Yeah. You just went up when you—
ART: Wow! Wow! That’s great! Good. (turns to man) Are you feeling any more change right now? Okay. All right. Do you want to sit back down? You want to stay— Okay. That’s all right if you sit down. That’s not a lack of faith. That’s just being considerate of ya. Right? You need help sitting down? Okay. Good, good, good, good. Okay.
WOMAN #3: Okay. My ear is completely—
ART: It’s completely open?
WOMAN #2: Completely.
ART: (laughs) Wow!
WOMAN #3: Completely! Completely! Completely!
AUDIENCE: (CLAPPING)
ART: Now I want to point out, in case you didn’t notice that, I want to point out I didn’t even pray for her the last time. Okay. Like the Bible says you’ll lay hands on the sick and they will recover. It doesn’t even say you have to say anything. It’s just you can speak a word of authority. So feel free to just lay hands on someone and just chill and let them know it was Jesus when they’re healed. Right? You know we say “in Jesus” name” cause we want them to know who did it. Right? And it was Him. All right. I want you all to get some sleep tonight if you possibly can after seeing all those miracles. So I just want to pray for you one more time. I’ll let them tell you what to do and how to dismiss and then we’ll let God continue to minister in your lives and maybe we’ll have more miracles in the morning.
So just keep seeking Jesus. Lay hands on yourself. Believe for healing. Jesus, thank You for all these miracles we saw. Thank You for what we witnessed in this place. You’re so good. You’re so amazing. And we worship You for it. Lord we want to be the people who respond rightly to miracles. That it causes us to rise up in praise for You. That we worship You for it. Lord, You are so good and so amazing. Thank You, Lord. I pray Lord that we would see more miracles in the next couple of weeks than we saw in this place. That we would see even more miracles in the next few days than we saw in this place. Lord we thank You. We worship You. We praise You. In Jesus” name. Amen. Amen.
Our Guest Guillermo Maldonado
GUIILLERMO: Hey, you’re too polite— you must be crazy for a moment. Do I have crazy people here today?
AUDIENCE: Yeah!!! (CLAPPING)
GUILLERMO: You’re too polite. I’m too polite. Yeah, I don’t care how God will do it. I don’t care. If I want to jump, I want to roll on the floor, I will do it. But you must say God— I’m willing to— (laughs) this is what I teach the people— Have you noticed in America why most of the preachers don’t demonstrate what they preach? Not here, I mean over here guys—
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)
GUILLERMO: Okay, you know why? 3 reasons. Number 1: because there’s nothing to prove. It is easy to preach a message that you don’t have to prove. Number 2, the reason they can’t demonstrate it is because they don’t have revelation. You can have the best message, get all the dictionaries, and all the good things but if you don’t have the breath of the Spirit nothing will happen. No demonstration. And number 3, I like this one, they don’t want to lose, they don’t want to risk their reputation. Over here guys, can you help me?” You lost your reputation so you can go “amen.” They don’t want to risk their reputation. Okay, I’ll prove it you. (to congregation) Sit down. I’ll prove it to you? Can you move this? You want me to lose my reputation? (audience laughs) Is anybody sick in their body here?
Okay, I want you to stand, I want you to stand, I want you to stand if you’re sick in your body. And what I will do is pray here. I can do it, but I’ve got my people here, they can do the same thing, okay, but I will demonstrate it to you for you to see it. But if you do the most of the preachers will not do it because they say “Well, I’m too big. You know, I can lose my— what if it doesn’t happen,” and many things are involved. But I am dead. So I don’t worry about it. I am dead. So if you dead you don’t worry. You worry about Jesus. You say “Jesus, you do it.” So what’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with you? Yeah, what happened? … No, just one word, and that’s it because— back problem. Okay, does anybody have problem here where you feel the pain right now? Okay, you got the pain? Okay, I want my team going over there please. What’s wrong with your back? Ear.
What’s wrong with your ear? So you can’t hear anything? Okay, okay, anybody else in the ears? You have an ear—what’s wrong with you? Completely gone? Ringing? Ringing? Come over here, can you come up here? Can you come up here? Any ears, ears, come over here, come over here, come over here, come up, ears, come over here, hurry up here. Can you pray in the Holy Ghost because you need to respond? No, no, no, not like that (saying it gently, Guillermo then prays in tongues) In America they told you not to pray anymore. C’mon you are Pentecostals— I want you to stay here. Okay, come over here, get closer, ears right? Any of you have lost one of the ears completely, any of you, any of you, you? Which one? The right is gone? How long ago? 6 years ago— come over here my team— come over here please. Frank, you pray for him. Anybody else in the ear, that you lost your ear? I like the difficult cases first, the most difficult case— Okay, the rest of the people will be healed. But let me tell you this, can we bring— what about you? You lost it? How long ago? So it’s gone. I just want the people to hear because they say “Well, it was an emotional thing.” No, I want the people to be sure why we say it. But I need your support—
AUDIENCE: Amen, hallelujah, YAY!
GUILLERMO Okay, okay, John you going to pray for him, Frank you going to pray for him. Go, go pray. So I want the people to pray. Stretch your hands to over them. By the way, this is not a show, this is a demonstration of how the kingdom— listen, before you pray guys, can we bring the kingdom here and now?
AUDIENCE: Yes!
GUILLERMO: I didn’t hear you.
AUDIENCE: YES!
GUILLERMO: Can we bring the kingdom here and now?
AUDIENCE: YES!
GUILLERMO: Something historical. No. Can we bring it now?
AUDIENCE: YES!
