It's Supernatural

SID: Now I said to Steven, whatever he tells you to do, do it. Sound familiar? Okay. Steven.

STEVEN: Yes.

SID: You just got back from meetings in England. What happened there?

STEVEN: We had some very powerful meetings in England where the Spirit of God was moving. And in the last service mantles began to fall on the people in a very, very tangible way, coming over their shoulders, people having powerful sensations of a burning in their hands, healing gifts being released to God’s people. You know, it’s like a new wardrobe. If we wore the same clothes for 30 years it might get a little bit boring. So God releases new mantles, new garments, new assignments, new callings and new giftings, and they fall on God’s people with tangible presence of God’s goodness.

SID: Many physical healings take place?

STEVEN: Yes. Healings take place and also people can get healed while at the same time receiving a healing anointing.

SID: No, I’m talking about in the meeting in England.

STEVEN: Yes. Yes, it was happening. People were being healed in their bodies and then standing up and receiving a new anointing to go out and pray for the sick from the very thing they just got healed from.

SID: You know, I’m hearing things, people with problems in the neck, if you move your head you’ll see that the pain is gone. Anything actually from the neck up, sinus, thyroid and any, it’s yours. Just take it.

STEVEN: Yes.

SID: Steven, we hear the term from the Bible, “Prayer and supplication.” What does the word, I know what prayer means. What does the word “supplication” mean?

STEVEN: Sid, before we talk about that supplication there are people that are watching right now, you’re smelling a fragrance like a burning incense and the Lord is healing sinuses, the Lord is healing incurable infections and you’re like, what is this fragrance that smells like myrrh or frankincense burning? And so that is the cleaning power of God. There are people watching with HIV and as you’re smelling this, God is cleansing you of that disease and you can go back and check, you’re going to find out that Jesus has healed you of HIV. So receive the healing anointing of Jesus now.

SID: Okay. Supplication.

STEVEN: It’s just where you go before the Lord in prayer and you’re asking, but you’re asking in the sense like, “Lord, I can’t take no for an answer. Lord, you promised me in your Word that you would do this for me.” And you come before the Lord and you pour your heart out before God, and God looks down and says, “I’m going to do this for you. You have given me your heart. You have devoted your life to me. I’m going to answer your prayer by fire.”

SID: Briefly, I’ve got to ask you about this angelic wealth transfer you teach on.

STEVEN: It is in the Word of God revealed in the New Testament as an End Time revelation for the Body of Christ. You see in Haggai, Chapter 2, Verse 8, where the Lord says, “The silver and gold is mine, saith the Lord of Hosts.” And that basically means, Lord of Hosts, the captain of the angelic armies, and Jesus Messiah is captain over all the armies of Heaven. But often times we don’t see in the New Testament what we see in the Old Testament of the Jehovah names of God, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. You move to the New Covenant, you don’t see that. But in the Book of James, Chapter 5, it says that “The wicked rich have heaped up treasure in the last days and it’s come to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.” Who is the Lord of Sabaoth? That is a transliteration where we have lost the original Hebrew, meaning it is the Lord of Hosts. It is Jehovah Sabaoth and it is the captain of the angelic armies. He is going to come and send his angels, and shake wealth into the Body of Christ where the Body of Christ is moved from being the tail to becoming the head.

SID: I’m going to tell you something. I believe that the Glory of God is so strong on this set.

STEVEN: Yes.

SID: You said I was distracting you because you can’t see maybe on TV, but if you were close you would see gold on my face.

STEVEN: Yes. I almost feel like I’m vibrating and shaking under the power of God that’s in this studio right now.

SID: I need you to pray right now mantles, miracles.

STEVEN: Lift up your hands wherever you’re at. Father, in the name of Jesus, this is an End Time church that you have. The End Time church must be a prophetic church. There was one John the Baptist, but now there’s a corporate body saying, “Prepare the way for the Lord’s return.” Father, let that End Time prophetic anointing, lift your hands, let it come on your people now. In the name of Jesus receive healing anointings falling on you now. Somebody’s lungs were completely healed. You can now breathe. You are delivered from asthma. Anointings for prosperity, financial anointings, gold anointings are coming down now. Evangelistic mantles are calling and falling upon you. John the Baptist and Paul type ministries, receive it and go out in the power of the Holy Spirit. Mighty, mighty, evangelistic mantles are falling upon young people all over the world. Take it and run with the fire of God.

SID: And in Yeshua’s name, in Jesus’ name, yes there is an Orthodox Jewish person watching me right now. I say to you that the promises of God for everyone are yes and so be it in Yeshua’s name.

LARRY: Welcome back to Something More. I’m your host, Larry Sparks, and today we are talking about a very important [music] ends – very necessary – topic in the Church today because, let’s face it, there’s a lot of doom and gloom out there. You laughing – you don’t need a prophet to look at the news and say wow, there – there is all sorts of stuff going on. Deep darkness is truly upon the face the Earth; but simultaneously, in Isaiah 60, it talks about a glory that would arise, on the people of God. I believe one of the ways this glory is released is when our words come into agreement with God’s words, and we speak what He is saying. And so it’s such an honor, Hakeem, to have a true a modern prophet of the Lord on here, –

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: a prophetic important for our words to be agreeing with what God is saying – whether it’s about a person, –

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: about a situation – because again, it doesn’t take a prophet to see the negative.

 

 

HAKEEM: That’s right.

 

LARRY: It doesn’t take a prophet to see the dirt – call that out. It takes a prophetic eye, it takes a prophetic ear, to hear what God is saying about a person and a situation. So what I want to talk about right now is so many people are thinking to themselves, Well, okay you’re saying that this prophetic ministry is available to me. I imagine I have to hear God first before I speak, and we’ll talk about that a little bit later. But I want to ask you how, you know, God’s – I heard Kris Vallotton once say this: God’s first language is not English, and it’s not Hebrew, –

 

HAKEEM: Wow.

 

LARRY: because He’s God! He speaks –

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: different ways. So can you talk about – just teach – teach a little bit about how God speaks; the different languages of God.

 

HAKEEM: Yeah. It’s – that’s a very good question, Larry. , me as a seer prophet – I will say a seer prophet – God speaks to me and you in unusual ways.

 

LARRY: Yes.

 

HAKEEM: He usually will speak through my spiritual senses. Even as we have 5 senses, I believe, prophetically, we have prophetic senses.

 

LARRY: Sure.

 

HAKEEM: And so as God will begin to open up my spiritual vision, He will give me visions of things; He will also give me dreams; He will also give me impressions.

 

LARRY: Mm.

 

HAKEEM: And I believe those are prophetic indicators that allow us to understand that God does not speak in one way. Sometimes we just think that you know, Gabriel would just come, and he –

 

LARRY: laughs

 

HAKEEM: would just speak and – and it will get a message. But I believe that God will use our prophetic senses – open our prophetic system – excuse me – our prophetic senses, –

 

LARRY: Sure.

 

HAKEEM: to begin to activate us in the prophetic realm. So in other words, dreams are one language that God will speak through. I mean He warned Joseph in a dream, –

 

HAKEEM: and gave him a word; even what to do with Mary and Jesus. Also, we see that God used the prophets – even the Old Testament.

 

LARRY: Mh.

 

HAKEEM: Even now, God is causing dreams to open up. Also vision –

 

LARRY: Yes.

 

HAKEEM: is another way that God speaks. You know the prophets were known, and they were caught up, and God showed them visions of Heaven.

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: So these are prophetic languages. People just think that God just wants – just going to speak, but God –

 

LARRY: Audibly, or something like that, yeah.

 

HAKEEM: audibly – but no; God speaks in so many different ways. I remember, Larry, I was in a service, and then God was speaking to me, and I saw words over the congregation. I saw like letters; I saw like words of someone having cancer. That was God opening my vision, allowing me to see in the spiritual realm, but also gave me a word of knowledge.

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: Then He will also open my spiritual senses in regards to my – my sense of smell.

 

LARRY: Mm.

 

HAKEEM: I was ministering to a young man in college, and it’s almost where God was opening up my spiritual senses with taste, where I taste like a lemon in my mouth. And it’s almost like well wow, how did that happen? God, what is You showing me? But He was just even unlocking my taste buds, allowing to get my attention, because no one put no lemon in my mouth!

 

LARRY: laughing Yeah!

 

HAKEEM: But there was something sour, this taste that I felt; and I sensed, while I was talking to him, God was opening my prophetic senses.

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: And as I was ministering to him, I said, There is sour; there is bitterness in your heart towards your father.

 

LARRY: Wow; wow. Well I want to stop there for a minute, because what I – what I love, Hakeem, is you have – whether it’s a taste, whether you’re seeing something, –

 

HAKEEM: hm.

 

LARRY: whether it’s like words over somebody’s head – what I love is that when these impressions come, whatever it looks like, the first thing that you’re doing, even as you’re talking to somebody –

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: and one of these impressions come, you have a dialog with God.

 

HAKEEM: Absolutely.

 

LARRY: You – you talk to God about it. I’m wondering how many people out there, that God is speaking to them in these different ways.

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: I mean do you think that there are people out there who God is trying to communicate with, and maybe they just don’t recognize it’s God?

 

HAKEEM: Yes. I believe that God is always speaking, –

 

LARRY: Yes.

 

HAKEEM: but He’s always speaking in different ways, and I believe we have to be sensitive. When we say, Lord, use me claps, Here I am. Send me! like Isaiah, –

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: If You use me, God will not just use your ears; but He wants to use your whole body. We are the body of Christ, so He wants to use our senses; He wants to use our body. And so I believe, in this hour, –

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: God is going to begin to activate those who have been questioning whether this gift is for you, or is it just for the prophets; no. I believe that the prophetic gift is for you. I believe that God is going to –

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: open up your prophetic senses. Even those who are watching right now, God is going to open it. And I just begin to prophesy over you, that your gifts will be unlocked; that your prophetic senses – your eyes, your ears, your mouth – you will be used of the Lord. This will be such a season where God is saying I am going to active your gift; I am going to open your prophetic senses. You won’t have to worry about being it –

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: just being a prophet; no. God says, I’m going to make you prophetic, and I am going to pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. – You are that son, you are that daughter, that God wants to use in your generation.

 

LARRY: Yeah; yeah. Even as you’re saying that Hakeem, I just feel like there’s folks out there, where you’re questioning, Am I hearing from God?, and I feel like the Holy Spirit actually wants to begin a dialogue with you.

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: I – I feel like it is legal for you to experiment with the Holy Spirit.

 

HAKEEM: That’s good.

 

LARRY: And you might think, Oh, wait; that’s scary. No, because when you ask God, when you ask God for the Holy Spirit; when you say, Holy Spirit, speak, you’re addressing God; He’s not going to give you something bad. He’s – it -just like in Scripture, When you ask, He’s not going to give you a snake, He’s not going to give you a scorpion; He’s going to give you only that which is good when you’re addressing Him. So I encourage you to ask God, in Jesus’ name. And, you know, it might be some sort of impression, it might be a vision, it might be a taste; it might be some way, vidio ends just like as Hakeem was just praying, your spiritual senses are being awakened.

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: You must dialogue with the Holy Spirit. And I feel like even now, the Holy Spirit is saying, I am willing, child. I am more willing than you are. I am willing to begin that dialogue. All you need to do is ask. All you need to do is ask me what I am doing, and I will give you clarity, says the Lord. So it’s whacked desk, it’s just amazing –

 

HAKEEM: Yes.

 

LARRY: how that happens!

 

HAKEEM: Yes. And it always activates when – by faith.

 

LARRY: Yes! Yes.

 

HAKEEM: You know, God desires for us to have the faith – even like a childlike faith – and when we get to that place and understand that we don’t have to worry about how it comes out; –

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: but just speak the heart of God out. How I activate people, Larry, in the prophetic, is allowing them to speak, like God.

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: You know, become oracles of God. What is God saying?

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: It’s easy to encourage someone, it’s easy to build them up, and that’s how you start flowing in the prophetic; it’s just by faith, and just speak as God is speaking.

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: And I have seen a tremendous breakthrough by people that are just speaking for God!

 

LARRY: Yeah.

 

HAKEEM: Just releasing the love of God. It’s the love that draws people.

 

LARRY: And when we come back, we’re actually going to talk about how you can decree and declare the promises and the purposes of God – right now, in your life, and in your nation, in your city. Because let’s face it, there’s so much darkness on the Earth right now, but God has a prophetic strategy. He’s looking for a voice on Earth, to agree with that which is established in Heaven. I believe God wants you to be that prophetic voice, and I believe our prophetic guest here, Hakeem Collins, is going to help activate you, so you can declare God’s purposes and promises – with clarity. Stay tuned; we’ll see you in a minute.

SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. What would it be like if every prayer you prayed was answered? Do you think your prayer life would be more important than it is now? Do you think you might be praying all the time? Well my guest says she’s learned through God teaching her step by step how to have all your prayers answered and she’d like to teach you. Is there anyone interested? You know, Jennifer, I have a picture inside of me. You’re a young child. You’re abandoned by your father and I can just picture you walking up to strangers, strange men and saying to them, are you my daddy? That must have been a tough time for you.

JENNIFER: That was what was repeated to me, that I was doing at that time just as a very young child, looking for my dad.

SID: And your mom remarried. She married a Mormon and so you became part of the Mormon Church. You kind of had your period of rebellion. You drank, you did coke. That’s more than a period. That’s a big period of rebellion. And how in the world did God get a hold of you?

JENNIFER: It was a miracle because I had no interest in Christianity at all. As a Mormon, naturally they want you to stay in the Mormon Church and you’re taught who to avoid, so we were taught to avoid Christians. And so becoming desperate, becoming understanding that the Mormon Church was not taking care of my problems, my uncle, he invited us to church and he went to a Pentecostal church. That would be far cry, the farthest thing that we would ever go to. But when you’re desperate you try things you would never try.

SID: If you’re sinking in the ocean you don’t care who throws you a rope.

JENNIFER: Exactly. So my mother and my half-sister, and myself, my stepfather didn’t come, we went to my uncle’s church and it was wild. It was everything you would think about as far as a traditional, old style, vintage Pentecostal church.

SID: You had zero grid.

JENNIFER: No grid at all. Ran around the church in worship. The ladies didn’t wear makeup. They believed that was holiness. And I sat there not even registering at all what the preacher was saying. And then what happened is he began to play on his guitar, and he sang to the congregation. And I remember exactly what he sang, and he sang “Are you Ready.” And when he hit that I felt the power and the presence of God upon me. It was like liquid warmth and it came all over me. And I felt that, and I began to cry. And I heard a statement in my heart. It was God speaking to me. It was Jesus speaking to me, and it was a distinguishable thought, and it was I accept you as you are. And it’s something I needed to hear because as a Mormon I was not feeling accepted as I was. I was failing the standard. But here Jesus, before I even accepted him, before I knew him the correct way, he was saying I accept you as you are. And so one of the ladies in the church, she sat down next to me because I was obviously being touched by God, crying and everything. And she asked me if I’d like to receive Jesus into my heart, and I said yes. And she prayed me through the traditional sinner’s prayer, and I meant it with all my heart. And then she said this, she said, “Would you like be baptized in the Holy Spirit? Now I knew about the term, but I didn’t know what it meant. Mormons, we didn’t have that in the Mormon Church obviously. And I said yes, and I began to speak in tongues.

SID: Did she tell you to speak in a supernatural language?

JENNIFER: No, she didn’t.

SID: It just bubbled out of you.

JENNIFER: Yes, it just came right out.

SID: So you get settled in the faith, but you must have had a problem with your Mormon stepdad.

JENNIFER: I did. He didn’t come to us, excuse me, he didn’t come to that church service. Obviously he wasn’t going to have anything to do with that. And about a month after my mother and myself, and my half-sister, we all gave our life to Jesus, about a month after I was studying for my exams in my bedroom. I of course lived with my family and the power of God came upon me for intercession. I hadn’t been taught about intercession. I hadn’t been taught about prayer. I didn’t know anything about this. All I know is I was on the floor weeping, wailing, crying out to God for the salvation of my stepfather, and I landed it like this. I landed it saying to God, I said, “Save my stepfather or why don’t I just die.” The words were really strong. And so I thought—

SID: That is strong. Save my stepfather or just kill me. That’s what in effect you just prayed.

JENNIFER: Yes. And so it was not long after that a local church in town, they offered a seminar on the differences between Christianity and Mormonism, and he actually went on his own. And as a result of that he gave his life to Jesus.

SID: You learned from starting with praying for your stepdad and your family about prayer that few believers understand. You say that when you realize the value of prayer you have tremendous influence with God. I want to find out why you have such influence with God. Any of you interested in that? I am. Be right back.

SID:                 Sid Roth with Something More. I’m with my good friend Jonathan Bernis and you know Jonathan from Jewish Voice. You’ve probably seen him on television. Jonathan, you have a passion for the Lost Tribes. Question One: What are the Lost Tribes?

 

JONATHAN:    Well there’s two definitions of Lost Tribes. I’ll give ‘em both to you. The narrow definition is that in 722 B.C. the northern ten tribes of Israel were taken into captivity by the Assyrians. It’s called the Assyrian captivity. This is at a time when Israel and Judah were divided. Ten in the north, 2 tribes in the south. And they were never heard from again. We don’t read about them coming back from the Assyrian captivity and so in a narrow sense the ten lost tribes are those ten tribes that were taken by the Assyrians and we don’t know what happened to them. There’s lots of speculation throughout history. The other definition of the Lost Tribes are really what I call the scattered remnant of Israel. You need to understand, Sid, that through history the Jewish people were scattered numerous times.

 

SID:                 Of course.

 

JONATHAN:    The ten tribes. Then the tribe of Judah was taken captive into Babylon. Only a remnant returned. What happened to the rest? 70 A.D. Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. After the Bar Kokhba revolt in 132 B.C. or A.D. rather, 132 to 136, they forbid Jews to live in Jerusalem and Israel and this is known as the Diaspora, the great dispersion. And then throughout the Middle Ages you have Jewish communities being banished from different countries and wandering through Italy, through England, through Spain. The Spanish Inquisition of 1492. Later Portugal, a few years later. Where did the Jewish people go? They were scattered throughout the nations of the world. And so now God is in process of fulfilling I believe fulfilling Isaiah chapter 11 and other prophecies where He says “I will regather the outcasts of Israel.” So the Lost Tribes, the scattered remnant of Israel are the Jewish communities that were scattered throughout the world, wandering throughout the world and are now being restored to the nation of Israel, to the State of Israel.

 

SID:     Some Rabbis actually believe essential for End Times is to restore the Lost Tribes from the four corners.

 

JONATHAN:    Well I absolutely believe that. The promise to regather His people back to the Land, see He said if you disobey My commandments you will be scattered but then I will draw you back. Deuteronomy and almost every prophet talks about the regathering at a set time in history and I believe it’s the time known as the End of Days or The Last Days.

 

SID:                 Okay. Well you are really specializing in this. How did it start?

 

JONATHAN:    Well for me personally I, as with many other things like Russia, I wandered into it. It was really God’s divine leading without me even knowing about it. I was…

 

SID:                 I thought that was just me!

 

JONATHAN:    No, no, no.

 

SID:                 I call God the great pusher. I’d like to say I’m the great follower but in my life He’s pushed me into everything.

 

JONATHAN:    No, both of us have been pushed into things. We had no idea.

 

SID:                 Right.

 

JONATHAN:    And He prepared this for us before the foundation of the world. That’s what is so exciting! Well I was invited to Ethiopia after the Russian revival of the 90’s which you were a part of. We saw amazing things, Sid. We saw so many salvations, healings, miracles in Russia. I could ride in a taxi and almost every taxi driver that I met I led to the Lord in a short taxi ride. It was that powerful. It was a revival. So after that began to wane I was asking God what’s next? Show me! I had no idea and I just wandered to Ethiopia. Somebody invited me to Ethiopia and that was the next assignment for me. I met a group called the Beth Israel.

 

SID:                 The House of Israel.

 

JONATHAN:   The House of Israel. Ethiopian Jews that had retained their identity and been persecuted for hundreds of years. Many had been taken back to Israel but tens of thousands remained in Ethiopia in poverty. And suddenly the light came on and I saw here’s Jewish people that are in need. You know in America we don’t think of Jewish people in financial need and poverty. In Ethiopia there’s Jews in absolute poverty and another idea, another strategy to reach Jewish people this time not with cultural festivals, with music and dance, but with medical care, with dental care, with eye care and so we began to organize, our ministry began to organize clinics.

 

SID:                 What other areas besides Ethiopia?

 

JONATHAN:    Right.

 

SID:    …have you been working in?

 

JONATHAN:    That’s where it began to answer your question. So it began in Ethiopia and then I began to read about various Lost Tribes. Different books were sent to me. Articles. And I learned about a group called the Lemba. This is…

 

SID:                 It’s in Africa.

 

 

JONATHAN:    In Africa in the remote bush of Zimbabwe. And I sent someone to try to find the Lemba. And they found the Lemba. I get this phone call from an Ethiopian member of our team, and he calls me from Ethiopia and introduces me on the phone to a member of the Zimbabwean parliament that’s a member of the Lemba tribe. And he tells me come. We’ve been praying for you. I’ve written to you, you’ve never written back. Long story short, I flew to Zimbabwe and it was so complex just getting there, Sid. I had to fly to Johannesburg which is a huge commitment in time. And then when I got to Johannesburg had to take another flight to Harare then we had to rent a small plane. Oh, and it’s even more interesting. We had to clear a field to take this small plane.

 

SID:                 I can match that description when I went to the lost tribe of the Kaifeng China Jews…

 

JONATHAN:    Right, right. I went with you. You remember?

 

SID:                 That’s right!

 

JONATHAN:    The Lord spoke to me in Russia said go with Sid and help.

 

SID:                 And then as a little aside, he never got as sick in his life (laughing)…

 

JONATHAN:    You remember.

 

SID:                 …as he got on that time.

 

JONATHAN:    One of the sickest I’ve ever been. It took me a month to recover but anyway that’s another story.

SID:      But now let, I wanna go into another area because this is so fascinating. When he does these clinics all of the doctors and nurses and dentists and people that come along they’re strong believers and they not only help the people physically but they pray for them to be physically healed. Your last event. Tell me about it.

 

JONATHAN:    Well I just came back from Zimbabwe two weeks ago, and incidentally it was in Zimbabwe that travail began to just come out of me again so there’s something in connection with these lost tribes, with the Lemba and other scattered Jewish communities that I believe is directly connected to me going back into travail. It’s a new season, Sid. We are in a new time in history.

 

SID:     It’s not just on the lost tribes.

 

JONATHAN:    No.

 

SID:                 You see Jonathan moved, he’s like a fisherman. He goes where the fish are biting. Fish were biting in the former Soviet Union? He went. God directed him there. Fish are biting in these lost tribes? God directed him there. But I’ve got some good news. This is America’s time. France’s time. Italy’s time. This is Israel’s time. The Jewish people are going to be on fire for the Lord! And once again they’re going to be the catalyst for the greatest Gentile revival in history!

 

JONATHAN:    Sid, I wannaà I justà I wanna accent that. I believe that we’re entering into the greatest revival the world has ever seen. Look back at the first century. I used to read the New Testament and think oh, if I only lived in that time when my shadow healed someone. But the more I understand the times we live in the more I’m thankful that I live in this time. I don’t wanna live in any other time than now, Sid. It’s the time to favor Zion is here!

 

SID:                 Well I had a dream and in the dream God came to me and He said “I’m coming back soon” three times! I’m coming back soon! I’m coming back soon! I’m coming back soon! Tell me some of those miracles that happened in Zimbabwe.

 

JONATHAN:    We’re seeing all kinds of miracles…

 

SID:                 Tell me some specific things you saw with your eyes.

 

JONATHAN:    So two weeks ago we had, we set up this prayer tent, and by the way the first Lemba outreach we did over 5000, now you heard this correctly, over 5000 Lemba, Jews, came to faith in Jesus as Messiah in one week. 5000!

 

SID:                 Praise God!

 

JONATHAN:    So some of the miracles. A woman came in with a goiter on her neck, a huge goiter, and as we began to pray for her, as our prayer team began to pray the goiter literally began to shrink, shrink, shrink and by the time we were done praying, our team was done praying, the goiter was completely gone.

 

SID:   By the way there’s power in the testimony and there’s someone with a goiter right now on your neck…

 

JONATHAN:    Yes!

 

SID:    ….as a matter of fact and it is going down in Yeshua’s name. In Jesus’ name. Go ahead, tell me something else you saw.

 

JONATHAN:   We’ve had other people that were carried in. They didn’t come in wheelchairs cause they don’t have wheelchairs. They were carried in just completely lame and walked out of the tent. Able to walk out. Let me tell you another one that I was part of that was absolutely amazing. This was in Ethiopia, in Gondar Ethiopia. A young man came in probably 18, 19 years of age, deaf and dumb. Now what’s fascinating is that he had grown up in the same community so it’s like a Bible experience where they all know him from childhood. And the Lord opened up his hearing and I was standing behind him whispering, kind of like an old Ernest Angley thing. Yeshua. And he was Ye-shu-a. And he was standing behind him and all of the elders of the community, and this is what made the miracle so amazing, all witnessed this and knew this young man was born this way and they had no explanation. They were absolutely stunned. And I was just kind of taunting them, getting him to talk because I could see they were, they didn’t know what to do with this. They were absolutely stunned because they knew this man his whole life.

 

SID:    And this young woman was sharing that God is telling me there’s someone with problems in your hands. And you have problems bending your fingers. If you do that right now you will walk right into your miracle. Now Jonathan, I am…

 

JONATHAN:    Carpal tunnel’s is being healed right now as we speak.

 

SID:                 I see it.

 

JONATHAN:    Carpal tunnel.

 

SID:                 Anything to do with the hands.

 

JONATHAN:    Yeah!

 

SID:                 Tell me about this. Tell me about this, this amazing brand new book.

 

JONATHAN:    Okay, Sid. This is a workbook. This is the third in a series. I’m going through the scriptures and I’m looking at the names of God, the revealed compound names of God. This one Adonai Yireh. We sing Jehovah Jireh. The correct Hebrew is Yireh. And it means The Lord Will Provide.ö It comes from Genesis 22 where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. So the first provision is Jesus. Okay? And everything that He provides for us. There’s two points to this. One: confessing the word of God. When we confess the word of God we’re releasing life. We’re releasing power. We’re also hearing the word and its getting into our spirit and building faith. So I’m a big believer in confession simply because it works. It’s Biblical and it works! And then I’ve connected it to the Hebrew language which is a modern revival of an ancient language. It’s a pure language. It’s a heavenly language. And I like to call it a super language. Just as there’s super foods that have nutrients and vitamins that are abnormally rich. The Hebrew language is a normallyà abnormally rich. The word Shalom for example. Peace. We have the English peace. So I say peace to you it means rest. It means to experience God’s peace. But the word Shalom has like 20 words that it’s connected to. It also means well-being. It also means wholeness. It also means completion, welfare. All of these English words that we have to confess.

 

SID:     So what you’re saying if I understand this right Jonathan takes the promises of God which are supernatural and puts ‘em in a super-food package called Hebrew. That’s the way God originally did it!

 

JONATHAN: And faith, and right. And when you confess the word. So we confess shalom we’re confessing 20, more than 20 English words and it comes to pass. Why, Sid? Because confession has creative force. What separates man from all of God’s creation is articulate speech and there’s life in the power of the tongue. So I’m a big believer in confession. I’m a big believer in Hebrew and when you put them together (clapping sound) you have a supernatural (clapping sound) emergence (clapping sound), emergence.

 

SID:                 What feedback on your first two books, The Lord Your Healer, the one The Lord Your Peace. These have been out for a while. What type of feedback is your office telling is coming on that?

 

JONATHAN:  Well I got a letter from a pastor who had taken this, I believe it was an Indian woman that was dying of cancer in the hospital. I think it was leukemia. And he began to play the tape for her. I don’t think she was able to confess it but the CD that is attached to it has me confessing the scriptures in English and then a Hebrew, a native Israeli speaking them in Hebrew and he just played it in her hospital room day after day and she was completely healed of leukemia. And he was writing to thank me for her healing. I didn’t do it. The Word (tap sound on desk) of God (tap sound on desk) healed (tap sound on desk) this woman!

 

SID:  You really have a passion for not just confessing God’s word but being able, and on the transliteration are you finding people that have never studied Hebrew can in minutes can speak it?

 

JONATHAN:    Five minutes and you’re speaking Hebrew fluently when you follow along with the Hebrew speaker.      I went to Hebrew School for years, Sid, and struggled for my Bar Mitzvah. I hated Hebrew School!

 

SID:                 Me too! (laughing)

 

JONATHAN:    And guess what? You don’t have to be a Hebrew scholar. You can actually put the Hebrew language to work in five minutes with these workbooks. And that’s what they are. They’re workbooks! You said something about investing before.

 

SID:                 Yes.

 

JONATHAN:   When you get this you’re investing in the ministry. Well you’re not just investing in the ministry, you’re investing in yourself! You’re investing in building into your spirit life. Investing into yourself peace and rest and provision and healing. All of these revelations that come out when you speak forth the Hebrew language, confess the Hebrew language it gets into your hearing, gets into your spirit and comes out being spoken with and releases life!

SID: James, you had a vision that shows how easy, and that’s the key word, easy, it is for you to walk into your destiny and purpose. Tell me about that vision.

 

JAMES: Well Sid, what I saw in that vision, the Lord was talking to me and he was making it clear that sometimes by the worldly wisdom we’re always thinking about all the things that we’ve got to do to earn our position. We’ve got to elevate ourselves through effort and trying and praying, and pressing in.

 

SID: Well but in the corporate world you jockey to get to the top and you don’t care who you step on. That’s the corporate.

 

JAMES: Right.

 

SID: My Bible says that if I will lower myself God will raise me. If I higher myself, he’ll lower me.

 

JAMES: So in my vision the Lord told me basically just to get over myself, quit thinking so much about what I’m supposed to do to get worthy of him. It’s not about me, it’s about him. It’s about what he’s done. And all the heavy lifting has already been done for us and all we have to do is just open up and receive it. And that’s what the Lord is trying to release to people. You don’t have to go through all of these machinations. You don’t have to do all of these things. Now it’s good to pray, it’s good to worship and I encourage people to do that all the time, but you just need to open your eyes, ears and your heart to see that the Lord is the one who has accomplished this for you and he wants to just release it to you right now. And we release it to you and just ask you to open your heart and claim it for yourself right now in Yeshua’s name.

 

SID: You know, in that vision I found it fascinating the Lord was holding something that was round, and what did it look like, a beach ball or something?

 

JAMES: Well I thought of an exercise ball that you have at the gym, and I thought well that’s odd because he’s not exercising. And I was just watching the Lord as he was holding onto this ball. And then as I focused more on the ball, because at that time I was looking at him, I saw that it wasn’t an exercise ball, it was actually Planet Earth, and the Lord was looking so intently. He was so focused on people on the earth. And the first thought I had was, you know, a lot of people would be uncomfortable with the idea because they don’t really want the Lord to look that closely into their life sometimes. Sometimes they like to slip back in the darkness so they can do a few of the things they don’t think would please the Lord. But the Lord said to me, he reads my thoughts, he said to me, “I’m not watching them closely to do them harm, I’m watching them closely to bless them and to give them purpose and destiny.” And then I began to almost like have telescopic vision, and I kind of zoomed in. And I saw a woman standing there holding the hand of Jesus, and it looked like she had been weeping maybe through the night, and she desperately reached out and took Jesus’ hand, and I heard the Lord say to her something he had been saying to me all morning: “Comfort, yes, comfort my people says the Lord.” And I believe the Lord wants to comfort people who are going through difficult times. And then I focused on some people who were worshiping, and their worship seemed so pure and it seemed so focused on the Lord, and the Lord was focusing on them as well. And I heard the same thing: “Comfort, yes, comfort my people.” I believe the Lord wants people to know that their worship, their praise is pleasing to him and he’s watching that, and it opens up doors of blessing and favor. And I just saw that the Lord wanted each and every person that he was looking at on Planet Earth to begin to see the awesome destiny he has for them.

 

SID: Does he have a destiny for, a unique fingerprint, just as our fingerprints are unique, does he have that unique a destiny for each person?

 

JAMES: Absolutely. And that’s one of the awesome things about the Lord that he’s able to do that for every single human being. Everyone who has flesh has the potential to get in that kind of relationship with the Lord and begin to see what that awesome destiny is and what God has destined you, created you to live in this time to accomplish this amazing purpose unique to you. And if I don’t do that, if I don’t open up and see that and I don’t do that, something is going to be missing in the Kingdom of God in this generation, because you and I have been uniquely equipped and created for that purpose, and we need to do that for the fullness of what God has planned for this generation.

 

SID: Talk to the person at home that says that’s okay for these superstars, but can I really know this. Talk to that person that’s saying, can I really know this.

 

JAMES: Well I see that all that time that people say well that may be something for famous people or people that we know, they’re gifted and have all of these special spiritual gifts, but what about me, can I do that? And I say absolutely yes. The Lord isn’t looking for superstars. He’s not looking for people that come to him fully equipped. He’s looking for people who are willing to see the awesome thing that he created them to do, and they’re willing to see it and then let him equip them and then lift them up to the fullness of the anointing he has. And it’s not about who you are. It’s about who he is. It’s not about what you’ve done. It’s about what he’s done. It’s about what he’s going to do in the future and he wants to do it through you. And just imagine the joy that you can have when you realize I fulfilled my purpose on Earth. I reached the destiny that God established for me from the foundation of the earth for this generation. You will have so much joy and you will have so much comfort from the Lord when you allow him to lead you into the fullness of your destiny in the Kingdom.

 

SID: And what would you say to the person that says, I knew what I was supposed to do and I didn’t do it? Is it too late?

 

JAMES: It’s never too late.

 

SID: All right, did you hear that? It is never too late. God said to Jeremiah, “Before you were conceived in your mother’s womb I knew you. I called you.” And I say to you, before you were conceived in your mother’s womb I knew you and I called you, and God said the best is yet to come.

 

JAMES: Amen.
