It's Supernatural

STEVE: I’m from Texas and we deep fry them. And, um…. amen. And so we’re all praying that somehow that company will be revived.

AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)

STEVE: But I’m reading all the Twinkies and the cupcakes and all the fun stuff and Jesus you know had some really neat stuff to say. And I’m going through this devotional, just personal devotions, I was just going through this red book, same as you going through your KJV, or NIV or NAS, whatever it is. And you’re just doing the red, red letters that’s all it is. I got about a third way through it and just stopped, and I turned to Jesus, and I said: This is fascinating, Lord. I am surprised that You weren’t killed way before the cross. Look at this! I mean the stuff that He said, is anybody paying attention? I mean from the weeping and gnashing of teeth, the judgments, the name calling, the cleansing the Temple! It just goes on and on and on and on. Then He says things like “Remember Lot’s wife!” When was the last time you heard a grace teacher preach on remember Lot’s wife? And by the way I’m a grace teacher. I’m a grace tea… boy… [Steve sings to tune of Amazing grace]: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. And if I decide to go back to sin, in hell He will cast me. I just wrote that.

AUDIENCE: (LAUGHS)

STEVE: But you know the message today is hey, once you’re saved, “party hearty!” So I read all these words in red and I didn’t get two-third through this little book. And I closed it. And I said, Dear Jesus.” If pastors and laity, ministers, all of us would just talk about the words in red we could change this nation. But no, we’re not going to do that because we don’t want to offend anybody. While the politicians, and the rock artists, and the, uh, strippers and the porn execs, they don’t care about offending us. They put their junk right in front of us. You can’t watch a ball game, can’t watch TV. You got to fast forward through the commercials. You know we have all these apparatuses that you hook up to your TV to clean it up and all, and stuff still gets through. I was at a, um, a Fed Ex the other day, and uh, how many love witnessing? Okay, about a third.

PATRICIA: I was a mess. I had only darkness in my life. I was oppressed in every way. I was ready actually to go into a mental institution. I was a… truly that was the state I was in. I had darkness all around me. But Jesus is a God who creates light and life in us. And I remember that night getting down on my knees and saying Jesus I don’t even know how to pray or anything. But I heard some people say that You would bring light into the darkness and You would give me new life. And maybe You could forgive my sin. And I said I don’t know for sure because my sins are pretty bad. But if You would like to come into my heart I want to invite You in tonight. And you know what? I didn’t know for sure if He would come in or not because I felt so full of guilt and shame. I felt so evil within. But He didn’t hesitate. And that night He came into my life like liquid love.

He released liquid love on the inside and He literally removed my sin, my guilt and my shame in an instant of time. In an instant of time. Because He created new life within me. He can create new life within you tonight as well. And if there’s anyone here or if you’re watching through the screen tonight. If there’s anyone that wants to come to Jesus and have Him create a brand new beginning for you. A brand new life. It’s not a normal life. It’s an eternal life. It’s one that’ll, that’ll just be there in Him forever. That tonight can be the beginning of the rest of your life. And so just pray with me right now. Lord Jesus, come into my heart and forgive me of all my sin. I believe that You are the Savior of the world. And I invite You to be my Savior. Thank You, Jesus, for releasing me completely from all the sin, the guilt and the shame, and for writing my name in Your Book of Life in Christ Jesus. Amen. Amen.

SID: Did you enjoy Patricia King?

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

SID: Where was this teaching when I was a brand new believer? I wish I had that! That’s why I have such a passion for you to have this. Because I did it the hard way. There’s an easier way to be mentored in the ways of God. Moses was told that if he would pray a special supernatural prayer over the people that they would have God’s name sealed upon them. I want to pray that same prayer over you. And when I pray this prayer I’m going to do it from a New Covenant perspective looking back at what Jesus did, as opposed to and Old Covenant perspective… that was looking forward to what Jesus was going do. Are you ready to receive? You are going to receive from God right now if you believe.

Why? All things are possible to those who believe. But? No, you’re not a motor boat. But, but, but, but, but. No “buts” allowed. The Lord blessing you right now! The Lord is smiling upon you right now! The Lord is surrounding you with His favor right now! The Lord is gifting you. GRAB IT! Right now! The Lord is healing you right now! The Lord is giving you His Shalom, His completeness in your spirit, in your soul, and in your body right now! In your body! In the name that is above every name, Yeshua ha Mashiach, Tsidkenu. Jesus the Messiah, our Righteousness! And all God’s people said what “amen” means. So be it!

PATRICIA: And I’m decreeing it. I’m decreeing it. And I’m, I’m doing actions towards that. I’m writing papers on it. I’m doing, you know, um, media on it. I’m building media on it. We’re doing things on the ground to literally rescue children. It just started with one little vision. It keeps growing and growing. But you see if everyone did something that all connects together and we’ll, we’ll create a tipping point where it’s all going to come down. There’s people today going into the Body and saying let’s raise up a standard of righteousness.

Because you know what? If we could, um, through our prayer and decree take out internet pornography addiction then we could wipe out the sex trade pretty easily because that’s what fuels it, you know? It’s just going to be easy when we get a hold of God and when we have faith to know that we walk in partnership with Him. Many people say, “Oh, the earth is so full of terrible things.” In fact I had someone Facebook me about a week ago and they said you know, um, “It’s just disgusting, you know what kind of God do you serve when there’s so much suffering in the earth and there’s little children suffering and everything?” And it just hurt me to think people would think that way about my God. Because my God is good. And it’s not God that is leaving the earth in the mess it’s in.

It is us! The scripture says “The heavens belong to the Lord but the earth belongs to the sons of men.” And He gave us His authority. He said “All authority belongs to Him. He is in us.” And He says “Now you’re My Body in the earth and the works that I do you will do also and greater works than these will you do because I go to the Father.” But He left us in the earth with His name, with His power, with the tools in scripture given to us to work and labor, co-labor with Him for the glory of the Lord. And I declare in Jesus’ name that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord is going to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. And you and I get to create that. I want to, um, just make some decrees over you right now. First of all, um, you can be positioned right now for a breakthrough of creative power.

How many of you would like to receive an anointing from God to create realms and atmospheres? Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to decree over you and you WILL activate it tonight. I really believe it. I have faith for that that when I decree it over you it will be activated. But before I do that I would like you to, just in your own heart before God, uh, repent from a few things. Because when you repent from things that are not aligned with God’s word then times of refreshment will come to you.

SID: Now I know I’m being provoked to jealousy with Patricia. I wish I moved like she moved in the Spirit. You’re blessed because you’re watching right now. That’s her job to help you do that. I got to know, when you wake up in the morning, what are the first things that you do?

PATRICIA: Well to be honest, before I even get out of bed, I soak.

SID: What do you mean by soak?

PATRICIA: I would say, as Isaiah 30:41 says, “They that wait on the Lord will renew their strength and soar with wings as eagles.” I’m a Type A personality, go change the world, all that. But the Lord is really teaching me I need to be [filled] before I do. I need to receive before I have anything to give away. And so this was a lesson in learning to rest in God. So for me, it can look different for other people. But actually, I have an iPod that goes everywhere I go with anointed music, presence of God, put it on, I’m not even out of bed, and just soak in his presence, whatever long I have. It’s really about experiencing his presence. I unashamedly say I’m a presence of God addict. I want the presence of God in my life. I want it in my family. I want it in my ministry. And so therefore, we need to cultivate it at home alone with God. It’s like the roots of a tree. It’s what you don’t see is, the roots, but the tree itself and the fruit it will bear is directly related to the root structure. So we need to have a life in God. I need to be [renewed] before I do.

SID: Okay. So you’re soaking, being still before God. Do you ever hear things from God while you’re soaking?

PATRICIA: Yes. It helps to put myself in that position about getting still, being in his presence. So I absolutely do. And by the way, sometimes there will be, the enemy will sometimes try to distract, well you got to send that email or you got to make that phone call, you got to do this.

SID: What do you do?

PATRICIA: I actually will write it out. I’ll just write it out. Okay, that’s true, I do have to send that email, but I don’t want to focus on that right now, I just want to get back into the presence. So sometimes I have my journals always with me and just write it down, and say, I’ll take care of that later.

SID: Then you go into what you call is prophetic decree. What is a prophetic decree?

PATRICIA: It really helps kick start my prayer time. But it’s this. It’s really speaking out those things that are in agreement with God. So that can be an agreement with his word or an agreement with his prophetic words over us. So the Lord is teaching me this about just the power in our declaration. You know, from Joshua 1:8 it says, “You will meditate on this word. Then you will make your way prosperous and have good success.” You would know more than I, what the Hebrew word for meditate is, “hagah,” and that has to do with pondering out loud to one’s self. And so as I ponder out loud.

SID: Excuse me, one of the definitions of that is mumble or mutter.

PATRICIA: Right, mumble or mutter. And so then I have things that I am going through each day reminding myself of who I am. I’ m a lover of God, God loves me. I am a woman who walks in the fullness of God’s calling and anointing, and those things, but then also about my children. For example, I love the Prayer of Jabez. I pray it over every one of our family, “O that you would bless,” I insert their names, Judah is my son, “O that you would bless Judah indeed, enlarge Judah’s territory. Your hand might be with Judah.” I feel the anointing on this, you know. And how did God create the world? He spoke. Nothing happens in the Kingdom unless there’s first a declaration. And I think it’s what Apostle Paul said when he said, “Wage war for the prophecies over your life.” Wage war. Wage war for them in your mind, but in the declared Word of the Lord and then see it come to pass.

SID: You started this House of Prayer, and briefly, as a result of praying faithfully, what happened in your city?

PATRICIA: In the city of Stratford there was a big drug problem. The church hadn’t been doing so well. And what happened is as we cried out, we said, “God, how do you dig wells and how do you see transformation?” He really spoke to us about the importance of prayer and worship, and declaring he was Lord of the city. So we began to pray, first John and I in our home. It was just us giving our mornings, every week day morning to the Lord then we took it to the church, and then the people gathered. But we saw it unfold before us, transformation. Like really what happened was, first of all, prodigal sons and daughters came home to Jesus. They came repenting to the front, getting free of their drug addictions, their sex additions. And then drug houses started to burn up or blow up. It’s true.

SID: You know, I eyes have not seen and ears have not heard all that God has for us. We just haven’t entered it yet. So let’s enter it. Your husband, he doesn’t hear from God. He’s happy. You go to sleep Saturday night and you know what’s supposed to happen Sunday morning. He checks with you what’s supposed to happen. But now that’s no longer true. What happened?

PATRICIA: You know, you can talk about left brain, right brain, but my husband is very maybe left brain in terms of he just knows the Word inside, out. He’s like a comb of walking concordance. And so he would say things like, “Well my wife hears God, but I don’t really hear God.” He therefore did not hear God because he believed the lie. So I remember when a visiting prophetic guy came, and pulled him out of a crowd and said, “Sir, you need to stop leaning on your wife’s ability to hear God because you can hear God.” And I’m like chi-ching. I paid the guy to give that word. So what happened is John repented. He repented for believing the lie that he couldn’t hear the voice of God or live a prophetic lifestyle. And I’m telling you, even last weekend, we were prophesying over loads of people as we were ministering in a different city, and there he is prophesying with the best of them, and hearing God, and journaling. And so we can all do this.

SID: Can you get everyone prophesying and dreaming if they follow your instructions getting prophetic dreams?

PATRICIA: You know, I do believe, but I want to say this, it’s God’s instructions. It really is. It’s where he’s saying, look, this is what I died to give you, not just your salvation, but your abundant life. I tell you, I think hearing God and living a prophetic lifestyle is part of abundant living, living his purposes for us. So the answer is yes.

SID: Now you’re going to be shocked. When we come back, science is finally catching up to the Bible. It’s saying the most amazing things from scientific studies are happening to us when we pray in tongues, in supernatural language. We’ll be right back.

SID: Now Francis, you’re such a nice guy. I find it hard to understand how you had thousands of witches and warlocks fasting and praying, and cursing you. But even a more important question than that is you survived. How did you survive?

FRANCIS: Well the short answer is, you know, life and God, and the Holy Spirit forces us to find our shelter in the Most High. And the situation you’re referring to was back when I had written a book called “The Three Battlegrounds.” And that book and the Bible was given to this fellow who was into witchcraft and [he] had a large mailing list, and that mailing list, when he got saved, this guy came to Christ and when he gave his life to Jesus he began giving out Bibles and “The Three Battlegrounds.” And I remember telling him, I don’t need this kind of promotion.

SID: Thousands of witches and warlocks.

FRANCIS: Yeah, really. But I went on with my life. And you know, cities were opening up and there were moves of God, and there were personal blessings, and it was all these wonderful things happening. And now a few years later, we had led this lady to the Lord and she had been involved in a coven that was putting curses, trying to put curses on us, and the amazing thing to me was I didn’t even know it. I couldn’t tell that there was a curse that was trying to get through the protection of God. And every believer has that. We’re sealed with the Holy Spirit and to be able to live in that and to function in there, and to walk through life, “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil because the Lord is with us.” Amen.

SID: So you had already prepared for this not even knowing this was ever going to happen.

FRANCIS: No. My focus really is on the Lord, on this. If he tells me to deal with the enemy, I do.

SID: All right, speaking of that, you had a woman that was actually part of the group praying and fasting, and cursing you, came into a congregation you were speaking in. Tell me about that.

FRANCIS: Well the woman was, through a witness relocation program, was moved to the city where we lived, where I lived and she was, she took advantage of an outreach that we had to [find] a home, a group home where she could be secured from her husband who was trying to kill her. So one of our ladies, our dear ladies in the church brought her to church on a Saturday night, we had a Saturday night service at the time, and it happened I was speaking that night about how God will not allow a curse to light upon the righteous. All of a sudden, this lady realizes she’s in the church of the man they were trying to put curses on.

Man: Praise you Lord. We worship you. Praise you! Praise you!

Woman: Often times…

FRANCIS: And she begins to manifest demonically. She was picking people up and throwing up. She’s a bigger, stronger, demonized human, throwing men, picking up ladies and throwing ladies.

[woman screaming]

FRANCIS: And right after the service, the woman that was in charge of the prayer team that took her into the back room to have prayer, she comes down. Now when she first came to church, she looked great, had a little bun on the top of her head. She was very personable, you know. Now after the service, her bun is hanging down. She kept looking at me cockeyed. So I go walking over to the room. At the time I had tennis elbow. I couldn’t like pick up my cup. I had no strength at all in my right arm and I was carrying my briefcase in my left arm, when I went into the room. When she said “Francis is here,” she bent over and took out of her purse a fishing knife and in her demonic frenzy she lunged at my face with this knife. And the Lord, this was the arm I couldn’t pick up a coffee cup, the Lord, how many of you know the Lord loves photo finishes? He healed my arm on the way up and that knife went right…you ought to shout. That was a shout.

SID: That was such a shout, you wouldn’t be here if the Lord didn’t.

FRANCIS: I know. I know. So you know, it actually broke her wrist when my hand and her arm came down. And then she passed out and eventually everybody took her home. I called the next day. I got her number at this group home, and I called the next day, and I said, “You know, I can have you arrested for attempted murder, but I want you to know that Jesus loves you and he brought you here. You think you came on your own, but he brought you here because he wants to show you his salvation.” And she said, “I hate men. My dad, my father abused me, my pastor abused me, the street evangelist abused me and your God is a man and I hate them, and I hate you, and I hate God.” And I said, “Look, I’m calling. I could send you to jail for a long time because I have all these witnesses that saw you try and kill me.” And I said, “But I’m not going to do that. I want you to know that Christ forgives you that our Lord Jesus forgives you and he wants…” And all of a sudden this girl began to cry. She hadn’t cried since she was a little girl and she accepted the Lord. Amen.

SID: I’m not going to keep telling you when to clap.

FRANCIS: So anyway, so it was in the context of that that the Lord began to show me how he had structured my spiritual walk so that I would be under the shelter of the Most High, that I would be in his presence. It’s not that I always walked perfect and never failed or stumbled. It’s that there are principles, spiritual principles that I put in the book, “The Shelter of the Most High.” It wasn’t theory, it wasn’t just theology, it wasn’t just doctrine. It was something that God had done in me and to me, and through me that made that barrier of his presence immunize me from the attack of the enemy.

SID: Now I am told that Psalm 91 protects you from every conceivable thing that could be thrown at you in this life. That’s what the secret place is. Do you realize every protection you see in Psalm 91 is in the secret place? But most don’t know how to get to the secret place. When we come back we’re going to get to the secret.
