It's Supernatural

Sid: I’ve got to stop right now because I have David Piper in the studio from Tifton, Georgia this is a young man that for 17 years was a crack cocaine addict instantly set free, instantly, instantly, instantly through the power of God not even remembrance of his addictions. None of the signs, his 2 packs of cigarettes a day nothing, he was in prison, he was in a mental institution there was no hope for him no one gave him a chance but God had compassion on him. God had mercy on him. David I know that there are people listening that know and have family members that are drug addicts, alcoholics and I believe on tomorrow’s broadcast I’m going to give him a day to pray and to get their loved one to listen to tomorrows broadcast. And I know that God is going to release a new dimension in your ministry and people are going to be set free right on the radio. You have prayed for people that are drug addicts like you were that have been set free and alcoholics, but I believe that on tomorrows broadcast they’re going to be set free they’re going to know the truth. Have you ever when you’ve ministered to people have you ever seen like your discernment operating seen demons?

David: Oh I’ve seen demons in people’s eyes before as God allowed me to pray for them actually the very eyes the devil would actually appear in their eyes as we were praying for them.

Sid: What would you see? Would you just have the impression in your mine in your spirit that there was a demon there or would you actually see something?

David: I would actually see the eyes glaze over and it was actually as if a person in the eyes looking at me. And of course they would speak out and it would not be their voice speaking and the manifestations of the demonic but we have power and authority over all devils.

Sid: Tell me one person that this happened with.

David: I remember distinctly in a service in Florida where a young lady came to me and had the…you could see the demonic in her eyes and it began to manifest. And another one that’s coming to mind now distinctly was in Virginia where this began to happen at a service that I was ministering at and where the demonic manifested but the minute I took authority over… Oh the Lord’s reminding me now that when in other words when I was in Indonesia the young man came before me and he was actually the soundman running the cameras in the service in Indonesia I was preaching in front of 1000’s of people where 100’s of Muslims were saved. And immediately this demonic presence manifested this guy jumped on his back no person could do this what he did turned into like a scorpion and going backwards all over the room on his back like a windup toy knocked over all of the TV cameras and everything. We we… I had him picked up off the floor and I took authority over it and the power of God working through my life totally delivered him. His whole countenance changed.

Sid: In Indonesia where you ministered 100’s of Muslims came to the Lord were Muslims healed before they received Jesus?

David: There were growths disappearing, all kinds of stuff happening limbs growing out where one leg was shorter than the other, arm just began to grow out just before in front of my eyes. I was over there preaching where they had rented a building that was guarded by the military police, it was on a Muslim military compound and they let us have services and they actually guarded the services. It was all God that this took place it was amazing there were 1000’s of people there and I gave an altar call and 100’s of Muslims ran down giving their hearts to Jesus, amazing things happening.

Sid: The miraculous is so important to grab people’s attention to come to know Jesus to get rid of the fuzziness that’s…the blindness that is around them.

David: Oh in the Philippines I was in a jail in the Philippines preaching in the Philippines…

Sid: Oh you…it sounds like God’s taking you all over the world!

David: Oh I’ve been to Ukraine all over yeah it’s incredible.

Sid: So what happened in the Philippines?

David: I was in the Philippines in the jail and very few people were interested in listening to us talk about Jesus and then all of sudden miracles started happening. People started getting healed their eye sight all kinds of miracles. And all of a sudden then the crowd started to grow you know. And this young man came up to us and had a bullet wounds in his side. He was paralyzed in his arm from where he had been shot. He had killed 2 policeman 2 weeks before he could not move his arm or anything. God totally healed this man he was not even saved. And by this time the crowd started drawling and they took a young deaf mute fellow and pushed him up to us and said “Let’s see God do this!”

Sid: Stop what did you think? You’re still a human you’re just David Piper you’re just recently saved give me a break what went on in your mind tell me the truth.

David: You want to know the truth I was like “Lord you better show up.”

Sid: I know that, I know.

David: If you don’t show up these people could mob us in here you know.

Sid: (Laughing)

David: But really there is a point that we know that it is not…we know it’s not us we know that it’s Him working but there comes to a point in a spot like that where all of a sudden it’s not you anymore and you know it’s not you in the beginning but it’s like God just takes over and there’s an ease in it and what’s happening. And I got to tell you we prayed for that kid that was a deaf mute and pray for him and I pray for him and nothing happened. And all of those inmates were watching I mean they were watching I cast out every devil I could ever think of, I prayed like any way I could ever pray. Any way that I ever heard anybody else I was praying nothing was happening. And the Lord spoke so clear he said “They’re putting their eyes on you.” He said “Have the inmates pray for him and make sure they give Me the glory and that’s what…not that they meant to put their eyes on us but sometimes in a natural thing.

Sid: But sometimes…

David: It’s a natural thing and so we had the inmates me and my buddy that was with me stretch their hands towards this deaf mute. And we had the inmates pray a simple prayer “Lord Jesus open his ears for Your glory, amen.” And then we had them say “Now!” And when they said “Now” the presence of God almost knocked us down you could feel that “Shoo” and immediately that kids ears opened and we check him out and when he was able to talk for the first time we had him say “Jesus.” And when he heard us and said “Jesus” that whole place erupted in praise. We gave an altar call and every one of those inmates was born again; an amazing thing God did that day in the Philippines I’ll never forget that ever. Amazing thing God did that day.

Sid: Now you were telling me about encounters that you’ve had with the Spirit of God when you’ve been prayed for where the fire of God comes in to the point to take it away.

David: I asked the Lord to stop one time because I thought it was going to kill me. There’s been 3 different instances where God had touched me in such a way that it felt like a jackhammer inside of my body shaking all over I could hear it in my head. I felt like my flesh was jumping off my bone and I was screaming “Please Lord, please Lord you know stop stop it’s going to kill me!” And of course He didn’t stop He just kept doing it but He was burning out all of those unhealthy things that were not of Him out of me you know. And at one point if I did not know that it was God I would have called 911.

Sid: David the first church made up of ignorant fisherman and farmers and not top Rabbis there was one Paul but outside of him people that knew nothing the people that were wrapped into a whole religious system. The fire of God came on them that Cheviot at Pentecost but what’s going on with you it’s the same type of thing. Is this going to happen to a lot of people? Could you picture what would happen how fast the job would be if people receive that fire?

David: Oh incredible if God’s people would just wake up and realize that He’ll use them and you don’t have to be no preacher that’s been to Bible college 30 and 40 years. All you have to do is say “Lord cleanse me, take everything out of my life not of you fill me with your fullness and use me I’ll go.” That’s all you have to do ask Him to forgive you and ask Him to use you and get out of your comfort zone and begin to be obedient.

Sid: And so people start praying that right now and tomorrow I want you to pray not only for the average…

David: There is going to be impartations Sid over the radio tomorrow.

Sid: What’s an impartation?

David: An impartation is where even in Roman’s 1:11 Paul said “I long to see you that I impart to you some spiritual gift that to the end you may be established. An impartation is where God imparts to you supernaturally from heaven His anointing a special anointing for service. You know the anointing is for season and for a reason it comes for service and not for picnics. It’s not for sitting at home watching TV you wan to see the anointing on your life get God increased and go pray for sick people. Hallelujah! There’s are people right now that are sick in body and if they would just believe God and He’ll heal them right where they stand in their kitchens, right where they stand in their sofa. And there’s an anointing that I believe that’s going to be on tomorrows show…

Sid: You know what it’s on this show right now.

David: I feel it right now.

Sid: It’s on this show.

David: I feel it all over.

Sid: Quickly pray for people right now forget tomorrow right now.

David: Father God I come before You and I ask right now God by Your power, by Your Spirit to go into the homes of the people listening, into the automobiles of people listening, into the prisons of the people listening right now Father God. And I pray Father God for a supernatural anointing of Your power to come from heaven to touch and deliver and heal every person listening. I rebuke right now cancer in the name of Jesus. I command cancer right now to die and disappear in Jesus name; I command high blood pressure, diabetes in the name of Jesus I rebuke it I command it come out of God’s people right now in Jesus name. I command right now in the name of Jesus every spirit of drug addiction to loose God’s people right now in the name of Jesus. And Father God I promise to give You all of the glory, all of the honor. Now if you have a problem hearing in your ears right now put your fingers in your ears and right now in the name of Jesus I rebuke deafness in the name of Jesus. Ear drums I command you open right now in Jesus name pull those finger out and God’s healing you right now. If you’re being healed call in and give testimony and glory to Jesus.

Sid: Okay Mishpocha let me explain what’s going on right now we… most people are in such doubt and unbelief that you need an injection of faith. Faith only comes by one place the word of God….

Sid: You know this is amazing this is Sid Roth with something more and I’m talking to Cherie Calbom. Cherie in my notes you have a pretty profound statement here it says “If you’re overweight that promotes inflammation which promotes every disease under the sun just about and inflammation promotes obesity.” So when you get rid of inflammation will you lose weight? Will you tell me about one person that did?

Cherie: Yes absolutely I have seen many people but Theresa maybe is the best example she called me with desperation. That gained 50 pounds of water weight that it seemed and her doctors both natural-path and allopath didn’t know what to do for just said “Get your affairs in order.” And so we got her on an anti-inflammation diet and a green juice before each meal. She called me back in 30 days later and said “The extra weight was all gone and she was now able to chop firewood and walk for a mile and they thought that she was dying.” I’ve seen over and over and over again people losing weight when they get on this diet and they always say “Wow, it just seems easy it’s just falling off of my body.” And it’s not a struggle and they’re still eating delicious food so when you get that inflammation under control your body does what it’s designed to do.

Sid: You know I have so many exciting things that you talk about in your books. Table salt, my wife has low blood pressure so every time we go out to dinner it’s salt to begin with and she goes wild with the salt shaker, what’s wrong with that?

Cherie: Well we can have good salt which is sea salt or Himalayan salt which is pink salt but the stuff on the table salt that’s out there in the restaurants is really bad. A lot of it now is a crude oil flake left over that they take and make…

Sid: So what does this do to the body?

Cherie: It is so detrimental to our body it’s toxic to our cells, it’s toxic to our whole system that is the salt that can truly elevate our blood pressure. We want to get that out of our diet we don’t want to use restaurant salt, but contrary to that is sea salt the good kind you’d have to go to a health food store usually to find it. Or the pink Himalayan salt that rich in minerals that is good for the body and it’s good for the adrenal glands.

Sid: And real quick because we have so much to cover you are not a big fan of the way most people cook it’s called microwave they heat their coffee, or their tea, they cook everything with the microwave what’s wrong with that?

Cherie: Microwave now we know from research puts toxic byproduct into your food and even into your coffee. And so I just don’t allow it in my home for use of anything.

Sid: So what’s wrong with…help me out what’s wrong with toxic food? I mean I don’t like the word but how bad is that?

Cherie: Toxins in the food, toxins can contribute to cancer and all sorts of other problems so we want to get the toxins out of our diet; we don’t want to use a cooking method that’s going to put toxicity into our food so on top of that microwave just destroys nutrients. So we want nutrient rich without the toxins.

Sid: Okay let’s talk a little bit about remedies for stress and adrenal fatigue; what is adrenal fatigue?

Cherie: So many people experience that today it’s not something that a lot of doctors recognize or will diagnose. It’s diagnosed through a saliva test and in measuring cortisol in different hours of the day. And many people because of their stress have the symptoms of this and don’t know why they feel tired or very very fatigued and yet when they’re so tired often times they don’t sleep well at night because their adrenals are pumping out Cortisol at wrong times of the day. And also Cortisol can get all messed up and even deposit fat in the body or keep us from losing weight and many many other symptoms can go with adrenal fatigue. So what we need to do is support our adrenals, that’s what my remedies book is all about, how to feed those adrenals and bring them back into harmony so that those glands can function normally again.

Sid: Now can we do this just with juicing and with regular food?

Cherie: Yes and some supplements like liquorish tea and things like that.

Sid: Hm.

Cherie: I’ve got the supplements in there that are very helpful for people as well so you may need a little extra for awhile and then just the juicing and just the diets got all of the remedies there and the supplements that will be very helpful for you. And then also to bring that stress down in our lives to figure out what’s important, what we can let go of and to make times to relax especially before we go to bed so we can begin to bring our system down to a place of calm so that we can sleep well and so that our adrenals can rejuvenate during the night.

Sid: Okay a lot of people have allergies; I notice at certain seasons my nose runs what do you think is causing that? I think I know that it’s got to do with the pollen and stuff but how can I stop it that’s a better question?

Cherie: Yes we’ve got to get to the root of it there’s always there’s always a roots to everything.

Sid: Ah ha.

Cherie: And it’s the immune system; we need to bring that immune system into better function. So we need to support the immune system and that again comes through diet, through juicing if you can juice if you can’t it’s other supplements that you can take to bring that immune system up to support it and improve the immune system function. And then you’re not going to be reacting to all of that stuff like pollen in the spring or it can be any time of year different pollens or dust mites or pet dander it’s all sorts of things people react to but you don’t have to be stuck in that place of reacting to that stuff all of the time.

Sid: Okay it appears Cherie as more and more people are getting GMO, Genetically Modified Foods, and is there any things wrong with us doing that it tastes better, it’s bigger, is it healthier?

Cherie: Genetically modified food isn’t and in the word of God it says “Don’t mix the seed.” And we are doing that with all sorts of… and it’s not only just seed we’re mixing in; we’re mixing in fish genes and pork genes and peanut genes and on and on into different plants and so forth. And it is very detrimental and when you look at research and especially some of the rat studies you see those poor animals that they put on GMO food for a year huge tumors all over their bodies, it’s really really alarming. And GMO foods GMO modified foods are going all over the world and the pollens are blowing around and its something that we must really avoid. Some of the top crops of GMO to look out for and really buy as organic are soy, corn, sugar beets now are GMO, canola, so canola oil is a big GMO crop. We’ve got to be really really informed…

Sid: Cherie they stick soy into almost everything today what’s wrong with soy that’s GMO?

Cherie: Soy is our top GMO crop and so soy oil and soy products some people are on soy, soy from breakfast, lunch to dinner. Soy derivatives known as textured vegetable protein ends up in energy bars and fillers and all sorts of packaged foods and it is so bad for us it’s not a good product anyway for the body. It’s a goitrogen, meaning it blocks iodine absorption and so that affects our thyroid. But on top of that being a GMO a top GMO product it’s going to add toxicity to the body so I would say look at the salad dressings because soy oil is in a lot even health food stores salad dressings. Be very aware about soy milk, I don’t recommend it at all. Almond or coconut or hemp milk are good choices. Soy ice cream, soy cheese avoid all of this stuff, get the soy out of your diet and choose other things there’s so many other choices we don’t need to be eating that at all.

Sid: Now why does it seem as though there’s an increase in allergies and asthma. You take these young kids that are allergic you give them tests and they say “Oh you’re allergic to 55 different things, well is this what you’re describing is this what occurs when you have these GMO’s and you’re eating the wrong kind of food?

Cherie: Yes it is. So the whole body is compromised, the immune system is compromised in this case and the entire system is compromised. And these poor children need help they need to be restored, renewed at the cellular level, they need a lot of fabulous nutrient rich foods. That’s why I go back to the juices again the vegetables juices again to get them into the system to rebuild the immune system to build the body up in cellular level and lots of organic vegetables and other great whole foods like God created and get all of the junk out of the diet…

Sid: But Cherie organic food is more expensive what would you say?

Cherie: I’d say choose it, please choose it and because it’s not more expensive in the end. What is your health worth? And if you’re sick at the other end you’re going to be paying a much bigger price at the drug store for over the counter medications or even worse for prescription medications. When you’re sick you’re going to be spending a lot more money; it is so well worth it to get organic food, get those pesticides and herbicides out of your diet and plus they’ve shown in study after study organic foods are much richer in all of the vitamins and minerals straight across the board.

Sid: Cherie tell me about that person just before the break you were telling me about someone from India.

Cherie: She called, and this was very exciting I talked to one of your producers she called your prayer line and said she had a large cyst on her ovary and no money, no insurance and no money for the surgery. Saw the show that you and I did before started juicing and prayed and prayed and within a number of months that cyst was completely gone, went back to her doctor and got a complete good bill of health report; no more cyst on her ovary. And she called your hotline praising God for that miraculous healing.

Sid: Now I know the book is brand new “The Anti-Inflammation Diet 28 Day to Restore Your Body and Feel Great” but you have been using these principals for a long time. How difficult is it for someone to go on this for 28 days; let’s be candid what good is it to get it and not do it?

Cherie: It is so easy and having worked now with really thousands of people it is not hard at all and even if you’re not in this country and you have different vegetables or different produce it is still easy because I work with people from all over the world. And it’s delicious and it’s not hard and you can do it and we make it very easy for you and you can still enjoy your food. And so breakfast, lunch and dinner we’ve got recipes for you to help you turn your life around, turn your health around.

Sid: You know as you’re speaking the presence of God is coming upon this I think God is pleased that believers will start taking care of the temple of the Holy Spirit. But God’s actually speaking to me there are people with arthritic fingers, if you will, and even in your wrist if you’ll move your fingers this is a freebie but you better start eating right things and you’ll see that you’re totally healed. And there are other people with back and neck problems and hip problems all of these joint problems yeah you can take care of it long term and your better because it might come back. But you have a freebie from God right now God has just healed your backs stand up and bend over. Do you remember the guy I was telling you about from outer Mongolia? I mean his back was broken in 5 places the prognosis was a wheelchair the rest of his life. I mean no hopeless but as a matter of fact Cherie you were hopeless give me some good news for the people that feel hopeless right now.

Cherie: I was so hopeless not just Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia but a serious injury but we won’t go into that right now but it was very serious. I had no hope, no hope at all. And God said “There is hope, there is healing.” We partner with Him and we do our part and He does His part and I had broken bones and crushed knuckles and they reformed. And that was not juice that was the power of God that came on my hand to reform knuckles in my right hand that were just bone fragments and powder. God can do anything and when we partner with Him and do our part we are going to see miraculous healings where we can stand up and say “I feel fabulous and I want to join in with the army of God and do my part because the great outpouring the Holy Spirit is coming.” We don’t want to be sidelined we want to be part of it and we want to have vibrant health. We want to be one of those mighty men and women Joel 2 talks about where run on the wall you know with the rest of the army.

Sid: Tell me some of the things that you have seen that people have followed what you’re teaching in these 4 books that we’re offering and you have seen multiple times with your own eyes what has happened with these people?

Cherie: Oh I had a lady that was given up for dead, told go home get her affairs in order, cancer throughout her body. In 3 weeks this is truly true she got on my program and was mostly juicing and a tumor fell out of her body after 3½ weeks and then her whole health began to turn around and she is still alive today this is a decade or so later. I’ve had people… one lady with MS no hope at all totally discouraged; young woman trying to get through school nobody gave her any answers. Got on the program MS symptoms began to go away and she found though she had to stay with this diet if she got off of it the symptoms started coming back…

Sid: Cherie, what about so basically people can’t function if they don’t have energy if they’re in chronic pain. What about things and if they’re grossly overweight? What about things that basic?

Cherie: And I’ve seen things turn around that basic, people often times people that are low in energy right away they’ll say “One of the things they noticed on this program was that they got energy back and they started feeling alive.” And people saying too foggy brain that’s another big one that a lot of people have, I call it sugar brain or junk food brain.

Sid: (Laughing)

Cherie: The foggy brain goes away and I’ve had people say their prayer life has improved, they can hear the Spirit of the Lord speaking to them so much better…

Sid: You’re telling me Cherie that when someone gets their body working, not the way they’re used to, but the way that God created the body it even improves them hearing from God?

Cherie: Oh, I’ve heard it over and over again people so excited saying “Wow I’ve turned my Bible open and the scripture just leaped out at me and the Holy Spirit was speaking to me and I was able to pray and I heard the Holy Spirit speaking and that hasn’t happened in a long time with all of the foggy brain. It is true, truly, true give it a try. And also you mentioned obesity I’ve had so many people that have started on my program. Father Peter is one he did a 60 day juice fast he was hugely overweight in a 300 pound range and lost 60 pounds in 60 days by doing a vegetable juice fast. But you don’t have to do that you just start in the program and the weight is going to start coming off. I’ve had people that have lost 50, 60, 100 pounds, people have lost 5, 10 and 20 pounds. So whatever you need to lose this program will help you do that too.

Sid: …What’s going on with asthma Cherie?

Cherie: Well asthma as you know it is a bronchial thing it can be life threatening. Again it comes down to immune system responses, acidity, inflammation, many of the things that we’ve been talking about today and as you begin to bring balance to the body I’ve seen people with asthma bring that under control and make huge improvements in their health. So it’s amazing what can begin to happen as you give your body the right tools to do what it’s designed to do and that is to heal.

Sid: We want everyone everywhere to hear the anointed shofar the rams horn. Why? Because I have a guest I’m speaking to him at his home in Valparaiso, Indiana. Jim Barbarossa. And Jim was instructed through a prophetic dream that he must blow the shofar, the rams horn. When he does this miracles take place. I believe it’s an end time sign and wonder but not only does miracles take place others that begin to understand the shofar and start blowing the shofar miracles take place when they blow the shofar. It’s a transferable anointing. At some point this week Jim I’m going to have you blow the shofar. And when you blow the shofar in a church no longer does miracles take place of healings and emotional miracles people get set free from fear and even pride, demons literally tremble what do you mean by that?

Jim: Well I have had people tell me that they can actually feel the presence of the room change that they know something took place. And at first people would ask me and I wouldn’t have an answer for them I just didn’t really understand them. But as I started to learn the learn showed me through the word, for example the book of Revelation chapter l verse 10 it says “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day and heard beside me a great voice as a trumpet. The voice of God is like that of a sound of shofar and when we’re obedient and we blow the shofar as He tells us we’re leasing like His voice in the atmosphere. And I’ve seen the presence of the room completely utterly change.

Sid: Well, I can tell you that when I traveled to do my television there a couple Bob and Janie DuVall that work in the ministry and they bring their two children. And there son Paul blows the shofar. I have them come into my hotel room and clear out (I’ve just been saying this a lot lately) clear out the demonic atmosphere he blows the shofar in the bedroom I’m staying and I literally feel like the atmospheres cleared out.

Jim: And it lines up with scripture because Ephesians 2:2 it says “Where in times past you walked according to the course of this world and according to prince of the power of the air.” The devil domain is the atmosphere that’s where he’s at. And when we’re obedient to the ordinance to sound the shofar we’re releasing that which is like the voice of God into the enemy’s camp. It’s like a bazooka were pounding oomph!, right into the enemy’s camp.

Sid: Now you told me that when you were in Africa this is where your wife had the dream about the shofar. You started blowing the shofar and all of these miracles started happening that’s when you realized. But then she had a second dream, tell me about that.

Jim: Well the second was that she was to come and tell me that I was to do more than blow the shofar but I was to have an understanding of why I blew the shofar. God was going to give me knowledge so that I could explain people why I would blow the shofar. And when we got home from that trip from Africa I have to say that I was not obedient quickly and I just kind of let it lie for awhile. But then the Lord started telling me to take it and use it and as I would take it and use it we started seeing more miracles, more healings, more things were happening. And at that time my cry was “God why? I know this is you but why are these things happening? If this is You it has to line up with the word, it has to be in the Bible.” Then I started to see. And the more I looked the more I sought the more I found and I found things like “The voice of God is like that of the sound of a trumpet” and that answered that question, why the atmosphere would clear. And there are just so many scriptural reference to the shofar and examples as to what can happen when we are obedient to blow it.

Sid: Jim besides the dream that your wife had there was something else that pushed you even further into blowing the shofar and seeing these miracles happen what was that?

Jim: Well in May of ’98 Carla and I were heading to New York to teach at a church in the area of witnessing. And on our way there we stopped at a church in Cleveland, Ohio. Met the Pastor once but we had never been there but they had just happened to be having a little conference of some sort that night and the Pastor said “I want you to take 10 minutes and I want you to share about your ministry, tell people about what you do and so on and so forth.” And I asked Carla I said “Well, what do you think we should do what should we talk about?” She said “Ask the Holy Spirit she’s a smart lady and I did that and the Holy Spirit told me to blow the shofar. And so when the time came and we were released to do that I blew the shofar and didn’t see anything happen, didn’t hear anything. The people let out a mighty shout when it was blown of course but at the end of that service the Pastor said “Has anybody got a testimony?” And I was totally amazed, a man came forward who spoke only in Spanish and spoke with an interpreter the man interpreted it into English so I could understand it. The man pointed at me and said “I wasn’t going to come here tonight because I’ve been in so much pain I couldn’t lift up my arm higher than my shoulder because the pain was so bad and when I saw that man with that horn God told me something great was going to happen when he sounded it; and when that horn was sounded the pain totally left my body. And he stood there waving that arm that he could not lift above his shoulder. Shortly after that a man was there got up and spoke prophetically to Carl and I and he said “God has not only called you to blow the trumpet but God has called you to teach and bring understanding so people know why miracles, healing why these things are happening. And when I heard that it just confirmed further what Carla had said to me in a dream, the dream that she had, that I was to become more and more knowledgeable and have a better understanding so that the people would be able to see that the shofar was not just for back then, but God is calling and raising people up to use it today.

Sid: As I mentioned you were amazed when you saw so much about the rams horn, or the shofar, or trumpet, but it all refers really outside of the silver trumpet in one instance it really refers to an animal’s horn; the Bible is loaded with that.

Jim: I was totally amazed when I saw that it was just trumpet I guess I must have just passed over it. But when I started to relate that it meant shofar then it just really started to come to life for me.

Sid: Give me just a few things that the shofar was used for in the Bible that we can use for today.

Jim: Well one of the areas that really spoke to me was found in Judges and it has to do with the enemy camp going into chaos and Gideon and the 300 were instructed to use a lantern and a ram’s horn. They surrounded the enemies camp. And I thought I think I would have rather had a tank but you know they only had a lantern and a rams horn. Well as they were obedient and they blew the rams horn it shattered the lamp the enemy who out numbered them 30, 40, 50, 100 times however big the numbers were but the enemies camp totally turned on itself, sword to sword and annihilated itself, totally wiped itself out. And I thought “If God would anoint a ram’s horn to do that then why would not God anoint a ram’s horn to do that today defend the enemies chaos.” And it really tied into one of the things that Carla had spoke to me. She said in the dream that she had she saw a dog running down the road with his tail between his legs. And that the Lord had said to her “That’s what happens to the enemy when you obey and blow the shofar.”

Sid: Now you’ve done the studies you have experimented by blowing the shofar and seen that God is honoring this today the same way that He did in the Bible. Then you wrote a book called “The Ministry of the Shofar” tell me about this book.

Jim: Well the book was something I had never planned on doing number 1. I was heading home from a conference one night and we had just blown the shofar at this conference and the Lord said to me “Write the Book.” And I said “Write what Book?” I was kind of lost and He made it very clear to me that I was to take all of the things that He had shown me from the scripture and all of the things that we had actually been walking out as we used the shofar. And we were take these and we were to put them in a book so that people could see what the Bible says about the shofar and how God is using it in this day and this stage that we live.

SID: So God put Jane in a situation where she became an apprentice of prayer. She literally sat at His feet to learn how to pray. Tell me one of the secrets of power of prayer that God showed you.

JANE: Yes. One of my favorites is called tapping into God’s heart. Because when you ask God what is on His heart first before presenting your concerns, you’re really giving Him free reign to speak about anything in your life or the life of the person you’re praying for.

SID: If I’m understanding you right, when you start every morning praying, is that the prayer you pray? Say it again.

JANE: Yes. I start—

SID: Tell me how you pray it.

JANE: I simply, after I’ve thanked God and praised him, I’ll say, “God, what is on Your heart today?

SID: That is so different. It’s normally a laundry list.

JANE: Yes. And I’ve heard amazing things by doing that. So for instance, one time a friend asked me over to her house to pray about a problem, and I said, “I would like to honor God first and ask Him what’s on his Heart.” When we did that, I was surprised by what God said to me. He said to me very clearly, “Your mother will not die this year.”

SID: Had she been sick?

JANE: No. She was in her 80’s, but she was very healthy.

SID: So that was a pizza dream.

JANE: No. I heard it again twice, very, very clearly. So I wrote it in my journal, not realizing that several months later this would be extremely important because three months later, my mother is stepping from her house into her garage at 9 p.m. at night. She falls. She sustains life-threatening injuries. No one hears her cry for help. So she lays on the garage floor for seven hours before someone, a neighbor, calls the police. So I get a phone call and immediately I’m reminded, God told me she’s not going to die this year, so I can stay calm. So I went to the hospital emergency room where the emergency room doctor says to me, “Her injuries are so severe, you would best call in your family members because she may not make it.” And he pulled up the x-rays, and I looked at those black and white facts, but they were no match for God’s truth. And I said to him, “She’ll be fine.”

SID: Wait a second, you’re a doctor. Is this guy a little upset?

JANE: He probably thought I was crazy.

SID: Meshugah. We like that word.

JANE: Right.

SID: It’s Hebrew for crazy.

JANE: Not only that. But he says, “Her injuries are so bad we have to ship her off to a level 1 trauma center.” So we go to the next hospital.

SID: But you’re convinced she’s not going to die.

JANE: Oh absolutely because God told me she was not going to die.

SID: God is so fabulous. Before she’s even sick, before she’s even injured you get the answer. I love it. Is that part of power prayer?

JANE: Oh absolutely. Absolutely. And because I knew what was on God’s heart that day it made the difference in making medical decisions for my mom. Because she ran into multiple complications as she recovered, and every time she did, I would just declare Psalm 118:17, my mother will not die, she will live to declare the Glory of God. And so all my decisions were based on the fact that I knew she would recover.

SID: You shared a little earlier about the way you used to pray and the way you pray now. Give me a real life example of the way you pray now.

JANE: Okay. One time I needed a Christmas gift for a friend and I had no idea what to get her. Now before I would have probably not even prayed about it, but if I had, I would have gotten, I would have said, “God give me wisdom please about what to buy her for a gift.” But then I would have gone from store to store, to store looking for items, buying one or two, bringing them home and then fretting about whether she would like them or whether I spent too much money or not enough money.

SID: You sound typical. Are you relating to her? I think you are.

JANE: But in reality, what I did was I sat down and I prayed. I said, “Lord, I have no idea what to get my friend. But I know You know. So would you show me what would bless her.” And instantly I get this impression, buy her a fleeced jacket. Well this was back when fleece first came out and it only came in sleeveless vests. So I corrected God and I said, “I’m sorry, but fleece doesn’t come in jackets. It only comes in vests. So what would she like?” And I hear again, a fleece jacket. So I thought well maybe this is a deception from the enemy. So using Matthew 18:18, “I bound the enemy from speaking to me.” And I asked a third time, “God, what would my friend like?” And of course, I hear fleece jacket. So I thought, well how can I confirm that this is God? My next question was, God, if this is You, would You show me where I can find it. And I get a picture in my mind of a store that’s in an area of town that I normally don’t shop in. So I felt let’s test this out. And I drive there, look at all the racks, and I said, “God, where is the fleece jacket?” I get to the clearance rack and there is one periwinkle fleece jacket in exactly my friend’s size at a great price. And so the beauty of power praying is one trip to the right store to buy the right item, and it saves time and money. My friend loved the present. It fit her perfectly.

SID: I happen to love that power principle that she pointed out rather than my laundry list to God. God, every morning pray, God, what is on your heart? I want to be a God pleaser. And I have to tell you that you are on his heart. He wanst you not to know about Him. He wants you to have experiential knowledge of Him. If you will tell God you’re sorry for your mistakes, believe the blood of Jesus washes them away as if they never happened, ask Him for help to turn from doing these wrong things and then say, Jesus, come inside of me, become my Lord, become real to me, I want experiential knowledge with you. You are on His heart.

Sid: You know what if you understand the foundations of which the New Covenant was based and you see the Messiah and you feel a need to explain these foundations because he was speaking to Jewish people that knew that knew the Jewish scriptures of that time. Today most Jewish people traditional Jewish people don’t even know the Jewish scriptures. And most Christians and it’s our job to communicate the gospel to the Jew first we don’t even understand the Old Covenant and the Biblical prophecies, and so how in the world are we going to get together? And I believe God has culturally brought to the surface it’s like the Spirit of God people all over the world are getting interested in their Jewish roots and the Biblical Festivals and Christians are beginning to observe these festivals as tremendous times of unity for Christians from all different backgrounds to come together and lay down their differences and worship God. And the Spirit of God is going to show up in this unity and then Jewish people will really be provoked to jealousy. So there’s so much more in just the understanding there’s a prophetic understanding of the end time events hidden in these Biblical Festivals. But let’s just start with basics I have my friend Michael Lane on the telephone he’s a Jewish Believer in the Messiah an outstanding Bible teacher. And Michael as you know this week Friday night begins Rosh Hashanah, Feast of Trumpets and then 10 days later we have Yom Kippur. Give us a basic understanding of these events.

Michael: Rosh Hashanah which means the head of the year is the Jewish New Year. My mother actually gets New Year cards like during Christmas and New Year’s time. In America we would get Merry Christmas and Happy New Year kind of cards we would get in this Festival and Tishrei, which is September/October. This coming Friday my Mom will get New Years cards Happy New Year. Rosh Hashanah begins the 10 days of Ave traditionally when Jewish people are just for 10 days wondering whether they’re in the book of life and they’re humbling themselves. In the Day of Atonement Yom Kippur Leviticus 16, in fact I think that it says in three different places in four verses it says “Humble yourselves.” In you don’t humble yourselves I’m going to cut you off of Israel. And these people are just humbling and afflicting themselves. Kind David said “It’s good for me to be afflicted that I might learn your statues before I was afflicted I went astray but now I’ve kept Your word.” So these 10 days the Jewish people are wondering if they’re in the book of life or not in the book of life. And of course we know we’re in the book of life as born again believers but they’re still wondering whether or not their saved or not. And we’re looking towards the blood of the Lamb and of course our Messiah to be saved. But during these 10 days it’s an interesting number in scriptures weren’t the 3 children in Daniel’s time prove your servants for 10 days give us vegetables and water that we might not be defiled by Nebuchadnezzar. There in Revelation 2:10 Jesus tells Smyrna you’re going to be tested 10 days and Moses wrote the down the 10 Commandments, and the disciples tarried 10 days they didn’t know how long they’re were going to have to tarry. But 10’s an interesting number in the scriptures 10 is just the testing time and the humility time for Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. From the first day of the month up until the 10^th day of the month, 10^th day of month begins and that’s the Hebrew calendar the Day of Atonement. Even the shofar is shaped the Rosh Hashanah the letter that starts the “R” the Rosh that starts the word Rosh Hashanah the shofar they say traditionally they say that the shofar even looks like a resh the way it’s shaped interesting. But what will happen on the Day of Atonement Aaron the High Priest was the only time that he went into the Holy of Holies and he would take incense with him and sacrifices and he would bath first and wash. And Paul would speak of the washing of the word and regeneration. He would go in at that one time of year and everything that Paul, Paul was a walking Torah everything that he said he was just speaking of things that happen in these Feasts and things that happen in the Torah and the instruction from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy Paul was just memorize all the scripture. By the time he was 6, 7, 8 years old he knew it all and he was just speaking about these feasts mostly. The golden censor ministry of Aaron he would go in with incense, we know that incense is just finely ground and it was in his hand that was how he got ordained. The word ordained means to fill the hand. They would put unleavened bread and incense and oral sometimes but we know that David years later said “May my prayer be counted as incense before thee. He was in the Holy of Holies in his little tent that he built for the Lord, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening offering, there was a morning and evening offering.” In Revelation in a couple of places there was just 4 Living Creatures and the 24 Elders they fell down before the Lamb each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense which were the prayers of the saints. So the saints, our prayers go up as incense as the morning and evening offering is we lift our hands. As we pray, as we intercede for our loved ones, or countries or Israel or Jerusalem it’s like incense going into the Lord’s nostrils. And He’s very pleased with that.

Sid: You know Michael I’m having a thought since this Friday begins the 10days of Awe and repentance and then follows with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. We have to pray the Jewish people have their sins forgiven. And as Jewish people throughout the world are focusing “Is our Name in the Life?” What does this all mean? Is there life after death? What is this book of life? As Jewish people are focused on this I believe if Christians were to take their prayers like this incense and be praying for the salvation of the Jewish people in their community that literally what happened to you, what happened to… I mean there’s no logical explanation Michael of how here you were deep in the New Age and guru and India and just almost instantly you saw Jesus as the Messiah. That wasn’t an act because your sister was so persuasive it was an act of God!

Michael: Yeah, Yes.

Sid: And I really believe if our Mishpochah were to take the next 10 days and to pray and even on Yom Kippur to fast for the salvation of Jewish people in their city that when we get to heaven we’ll find out that literally history was changed as a result of these prayers.

Michael: I agree totally, totally the most important thing we can do is pray, yes, yes.

Sid: So on Yom Kippur I have recollections they’re not real good recollections from when I was a traditional Jew I used to go in the synagogue and we used to pray all day. And you know it would be one thing if we understood what we prayed but I was in an Orthodox Synagogue and I know how to read Hebrew beautifully but I didn’t understand a word of what I was praying. It was in the most boring thing in the world and then we were fasting and then I would see some of the men slip out of the Synagogue and go to the store and buy something to eat and then they’d come back and I’d see all of this hypocrisy. You know I was proud of being Jewish but I just saw religion is such hypocrisy and I understand that in Israel the average Israeli there is really offended by the religious Jews that are pushing their faith upon them. But what would happen if Jewish people saw the sense of the scriptures, saw that all of the scriptures all of these festivals speak of the Messiah? I believe the reason that God is restoring these Biblical festivals to Gentile Believers today is:

1. They have insight in the times we’re living in and to understand the last days which you can’t understand.
2. To unify Jews and Christians to become one.

Are you seeing, I mean you’ve been a believer over 30 years like myself have you seen an increase in Christians wanting to understand their Biblical Jewish Roots?

Michael: Yes our whole group has just started with a B&B which you started, you called me one day “Would you have a prayer meeting in Philadelphia and pray for Israel and the Jewish people in the Philadelphia area and our ministry? And I prayed about it a couple of days and I said “Yes.” I called you about two days later it was in the wintertime this was many years ago. I remember seeing it only lasted about an hour there was the snow, the little inch of snow flakes out on the ground were all… not all they were mostly Jewish stars and I called 2 other people within a mile and a half in both directions one of them being my sister and somebody else and they saw them out there. I took a picture and sent it to you and you put it in your newsletter.

Sid: I remember.

Michael: But yes, our whole group was started with our Bagels and Bible and intercession and as people have gathered and definitely.

Sid: Now what is your group, you have a home bible study a house church if you will.

Michael: Yeah.

Sid: What does your group on the Biblical Festivals?

Michael: Well, as I mentioned the other day we don’t necessarily build a Succah hut but there’s some talk…

Sid: Now a Succah is Tabernacles Jewish people have done this every year since the Exodus to remind us of what life was like with our people and it’s called a Succah, go ahead.

Michael: Right, we don’t necessarily do that but there’s some rumors I’ll be doing it on my deck this year. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a Succah personally but we’ll if they want to do it maybe we’ll do it. Again we appreciate the spiritual blessings Paul writes that in Corinthians of what these feasts are or whether we do this or do that traditionally properly is irrelevant but that would understand all about the Lord. When Aaron goes into the Holy of Holies and he’s dressed in linen garments and he has incense in his hands he was actually taking a bath under the guidance of the Lord in the Tabernacle. Wow, that is so awesome. But we’re to understand that we are to do that now we’re priests of the Lord and we can actually put on our linen garments spiritually and we can have the incense with our prayer and we can be washed in the word and we can be regenerated. And for us it’s just a spiritual thing.

Sid: Tell you what Mishpochah the presence of God is starting to pour out on this broadcast because we’re yielding to the Spirit of God.
