It's Supernatural

SID: You know, the reason that I’ve selected these great prophets is they’ve been with me before and they’ve had their prophecies out there on the air, and their accuracy is so on target that that’s why I wanted to find out about 2018. Rich, what is God showing you about the number 18, 2018?

RICH VERA: You know, 18 is so significant. Eighteen stands for bondage and judgment. But in the Hebrew, the number 18 is for life and new life. God is bringing us in this year to the finality, to the end of the struggle and the system that has kept us bound, and in 2018, God is judging, not people now. God is judging the system that has corrupted society. The church is going to, the church in America, and that’s where we see all this crazy things going on. And also ’18, we are beginning a new life for those that have been faithfully waiting in the promises of God.

SID: Rich, tell me about the fires in California, the weather things that are going on. What does that mean to you?

RICH VERA: So if you notice the fires, the floods happened on the east coast, Houston and it happened in Puerto Rico, and the fires happened on the west. Now the Lord spoke to me, and I prophesied this a few months ago in my church, and the Lord says the fires symbolize judgment. And the Lord says, “I’m judging the system that is corrupting society in the nations of the world.” And the Lord says everything that comes from Hollywood, from California impacts the nations of the world. Whatever we watch on television, people in Africa, they want to be like the Americans they watch on television. People in Argentina, they all want to be like what they see on television. And literally from that state, it has corrupted the morality of the nations of the world. The Lord was telling me, “I’m judging the spirit. There is a stronghold in California that affects the rest of the world.” And the Lord says, “I’m judging the system.” And then when God is done judging the system and removing those that have been used of the enemy to allow the corruption to continue, God says, “I’m going to strengthen my church.” God is going to empower the church on the west coast. I saw the church on the west coast as a feeble man that could not even move or get out of bed. And the Lord says, “That’s the condition of the church on the west coast.” And God says, “After this great cleansing,  God says, “is going to empower the church to go back to the days of Aimee Semple McPherson, where this lady, by herself, impacted the whole state and souls were saved. Whether anybody liked it or not, she had an incredible impact with the Gospel of that state.

SID: And you know what’s so amazing? Her background, you would say, how could God ever use her?

RICH VERA: Right.

SID: Divorced, a couple of children.

RICH VERA: And a woman preacher in those days.

SID: That’s true.

RICH VERA: And that’s coming back in this generation. And I want to prophesy to the church in the west coast, this is the season to rise up and to let this fear be put aside. God is going to anoint you with the ability to speak the Gospel with boldness. And God wants to bring back the conviction of the Spirit and God wants you to know that you’ll be protected. If you speak the Gospel, signs and wonders will follow you and you will not be destroyed by the enemy in this season. 

SID: Tell me about you talk about the judgment in sports, in other areas [unintelligible].

RICH VERA: Yes. I saw a lot of this cleansing is going to touch us. The prophets mentioned before different areas of society in America. And I saw in the sport industry, in the different categories, that God was going to humble the proud, especially those that claim themselves to be believers and they have forgotten the God that prospered them. And the Lord told me that many of them were going to be humbled to a place that they would lose everything so they can gain back their work with Jesus. And also, God is going to raise up those with a voice to proclaim the message of the Gospel and the name of Jesus with no shame in spite of the possibility of losing financial. So there’s going to be a shakeup to humble them to realize that it was God the one that made them great, not the NFL, the NBA or anybody else.

SID: Tell me about, you told me that there was going to be a cure for breast cancer. And I just read an article that someone has just developed one.

RICH VERA: Yes. About six months ago the Lord gave me a vision and the Lord says, “I’m going to judge the killer of the babies.” And I saw something that what was going to come out of a secondary resolve that was going to be like a discovery of something that will push back breast cancer on ladies. And as we saw today, two days ago, came an article saying exactly what we’re saying, and you saw that.

SID: What about things like feebleness, Alzheimer’s?

RICH VERA: You know, this is the most amazing thing. What happened in Israel with President Trump proclaiming Jerusalem to be the eternal Capital of the Jewish people, as Chuck says, is a significant thing in the spirit world, because for him to be the man that spoke boldly to the nations of the world, he released a spirit that opened a portal for blessings to be released from Israel to the rest of the world. If you look on Psalms 122, it says, “If you pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Now, the word “to pray” means more than just pray. It means if you do something about it, the Bible says, “There will be great prosperity among those that love Israel.” So when the President went, and I saw this in a vision, and proclaimed that on television, there was literally a portal that opened up and it began to flush like a waterfall to America. And we are about to experience prosperity like we have never experienced before because the Bible says, when Jerusalem gets blessed or when something happens concerning the peace of Jerusalem, prosperity is the result that follows Jerusalem.

SID: Okay. There’s my problem. These prophets have seen so much for this year. And we’re going to have not just information, but activation. 

SID: Okay, speaking of that, let’s suppose I have a dream. I want to know what you would advise me to do. I wake up. I just remember that dream. What would you do if that was you?

RYAN: The first thing I would try to sort out, is this dream something that seems to be in high def [HD, high definition] to me? I don’t mean just visually, but I mean spiritually. I’ve had prophetic dreams that shifted my whole life. I say they’re among my favorite things because I can’t mess them up. When you have a dream, you can’t mess it up because it’s not flowing through your own self like when you’re prophesying over somebody, whatever. So first step is write it down. All prophetic things are to empower pursuits. That’s why there’s a mystery involved for you to pursue. Now, you crack the code. Once you’ve written it down you start to pray over it and then you start to analyze.

SID: Excuse me, you have to help me, what do you mean you pray over it?

RYAN: That’s a good question. So I write it down. I had a dream and I’m in water, and I had the peace of God all over me. I begin to pray, Father, I thank you for proper interpretation of this dream. I thank you for the spirit of wisdom. I maybe pray the Ephesians 1 prayer, “The eyes of my understanding being open.” Then I go from there to looking at symbols to help me crack the code. Water in Ephesians is the Word of God, but water is also type in shadow of Holy Spirit. Dreams are one of the most profound leanings in the Bible. In fact, in the Old Testament, he says, “He speaks to his prophets through dreams.” We look at Paul. Paul’s whole ministry was shifted by the Macedonian encounter. It is a high level of communication for people.

SID: Okay. I want to go somewhere else right now because I love the phrase you use in your writing. You call this, which happens to be my favorite of all the supernatural things, my most favorite thing I love to do, you call it the great equalizer. What is that?

RYAN: Yes. It’s praying in the Spirit. I have become the biggest fan and advocate of praying in the Spirit.

SID: Have you become as big as Paul? Paul said, “I pray without ceasing.” I’m just reminded.

RYAN: I’m working on it. I’m working on that. But that’s the goal. Because really, when you pray in the Spirit, you enter the classroom of the Holy Spirit. He’s the master teacher. The Bible says, “He’ll bring all things to your remembrance.” So I enter into unlimited wisdom. I may not know how to do this and this, but when I look up with Holy Spirit and pray in the Spirit, he begins to teach me. I believe personally you cannot pray persistently in the Holy Spirit, in your prayer language, without revelation being a major part of your life. To me, it’s the gateway to all prophetic revelation. You have got to learn to pray in the Spirit, and once we learn that it takes the limits off everything, revelation-wise.

SID: It is the greatest tool for a breakthrough in your life and I’m going to believe, when we come back, not only will you speak in tongues, but you’ll have a breakthrough in your life with the breakthrough anointing. Be right back.

AUDIENCE:  Yes, Lord!

RICH: Can you raise your hands and say I receive it?

AUDIENCE:  I receive it!

RICH: So here when I came down I couldn’t believe that my hair turned white. And I couldn’t believe that instantly there was I came up from looking like a kid to looking like a man. You know in the presence of God I understood why Moses when he came down from the mountain his hair turned completely white. I understood why Benny Hinn in his early forties when I used to go to the church his entire hair turned white and I used to go why? And he’d, you know what he told me you know the presence of God and I go yeah, right. But the presence of God has 2 elements. It will bring maturity to your life but it will keep you always young. But now being young has nothing to do with your body. It has to do with the state of your mind and your spirits. You see you can be a hundred years old and you can be young or you can be forty-five and you’re ready to go to heaven and meet the Lord. You know what I’m talking about. Now one of the things the Lord taught to me was about prosperity. Now we hear prosperity about money, right? And every preacher you know goes on television says if you send me this God will prosper you. But prosperity goes beyond money. And if you look at Three John, chapter 1 verse 2 this famous verse that it says: “Beloveds I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.” Now I have preached this. I heard it from every TV evangelist            and the Lord revealed to me there are 3 levels of prosperity that belong to every single child of God. Three levels of prosperity. Number one: that you may prosper in all things. If you see it right there it says I wish above all things that you may prosper. Number One, God wants you to prosper. To prosper in every area of your life. God wants you prosperous in your marriage. God wants you prosperous in your relationships. Yes, He wants you prosperous on your money. He wants you to prosper in every area that concerns  your life. Number Two it says: and be in health. The second prosperity that God wants for His children is to be in health all the days of your life. Now this is something that the enemy tries to take away from us but God has released. Now I believe that in these Last Days God is bringing that revelation back to the Body of Christ that God is called us to walk in His prosperity and His prosperity means every area of your life will be according to the will and the provision of God. Number Two: that every area of your body will live on divine health. Somebody say “divine health!”

AUDIENCE   Whooo!  (CLAPPING)

RODNEY:  To get the water to flow again. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! That’s what revival’s all about. That’s what the move of God’s all about. His Word is like a hammer that breaks the rock into pieces. His Word is like a fire that comes and burns. And then the water begins to flow. We’ve got people just sitting in the pew. Single mom. A single mom and her kids have led 45,000 people to the Lord. I mean I can go on and one with stories and testimonies. Just… you’d be sitting in church and next to somebody and that person’s… We’ve seen more miracles take place on the streets than what you see on television with some miracle ministries. That’s why they call me up, can we come by the church? I say not really. Our children are seeing more miracles than what you got on your television thing. Come on, seriously. Since when is this limited to one or two or three? God never did. He poured out His Spirit. His spirit is poured out freely! His spirit is poured out lavishly! The biggest insult you can give me is come to our church to ask me to pray for the sick. I tell ‘em go see the landscaper. His name is Jesus. He’s a Spanish guy. He’s chopping the palm tree. Go see Jesus. He’s in the parking lot. He’ll pray for you. He led two and a half thousand people to the Lord in one year. He’s just working as the landscaper. (silence) It’s like people want to have a proprietary ownership of the anointing. It’s not. It’s His anointing. It’s His power. And all we do is light the fire.      So you know don’t blame me for all of what’s going on. I just go around lighting fires. People catch fire. Listen, do you know the story of Sampson when he took 300 foxes and he set fire to their tails? Do you now about that? How many of you know that he caught 300 foxes and tied them together and put fire on their tails? How many of you know that these foxes were not show-bred foxes? Like perfect foxes. Not a hair out of place. How many of you know that? I mean come on. Do you think that Sampson went into a fox breeding program where they bred pure bred foxes so that he could choose perfect foxes…

AUDIENCE   (LAUGHING)

RODNEY:  …cause you got to have a perfect fox to put fire on their tail to set ‘em loose? NO! He just went out in the bush and caught a fox. Let’s say he caught the first fox and he looked at the fox and the fox had no teeth. He didn’t say oh, we can’t use this fox. Look, he has no teeth but does he have a tail? Yes! He has a tail. Put fire! A fox with no teeth is still going to run when the fire gets on your tail!

AUDIENCE               (APPLAUSE)

RODNEY:  Well first of all let me say what an honor it is to be here today to share with you. I want to read from Luke chapter four. This is the passage I was reading when the power of the Lord come into that meeting on that Tuesday morning in upstate New York. And I have got to share that many times Monday through Friday over the years since ‘89 so I love the subject of the anointing and the touch of God. “And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. He taught in the synagogues being glorified of all. He came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as his custom was he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, stood up for to read and it was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. When he opened the book he found the place where it was written ‘the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me.’” Another word for the anointing would be empowered me. He has graced me. He has enabled me. He has equipped me. “To preach the gospel,” which is the good news, “to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Now the Amplified says in verse 19 “to proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord, the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.” So here’s Jesus announcing that the spirit of the Lord was upon Him but if you begin a study the ministry of Jesus you’ll see that He did do absolutely nothing until the time when He was really anointed and that happened when He came down to the river Jordan. The Bible says you know John the Baptist looked up and said “Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world” and Jesus come down and He was baptized by John, come up out of the water. The Holy Spirit descended like a dove. Didn’t say He was a dove. Said He descended like a dove. So the Holy Spirit’s not a bird, He’s God. Amen! And so the Holy Spirit descended, the heavens opened. Didn’t say they closed up again. The heavens opened, the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and God spoke out of heaven and said this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him. And from that moment of time Jesus then went about and you could read about all these miracles that He did in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and the end of the book of John said all these miracles did Jesus do and all the others that if it were written down I do not suppose the books of the world would contain it. So now we could read through Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in a day but Matthew, Mark, Luke and John tells us just a small smidgeon of what really took place through the whole life and the ministry of Jesus. Three and a half years of hanging with Jesus it must have been miracles in the morning, miracles in the noontime, miracles in the evening, midnight miracles, I mean if I was there with him I probably wouldn’t have got much sleep. I would have kept one eye open on Him at all time just to see what He was going to do.
