Our Guest Shirley Jones
Sid: On yesterday’s broadcast I instructed you to have the elements necessary the bread and the fruit of the vine for communion if you didn’t do it yet get it quickly because on the other end of the phone is Shirley Smith. I’m speaking to her at her home in North Little Rock, Arkansas. She had 3rd stage ovarian cancer she had 6 months to live and she received a miracle and part of a miracle was for her the very first time she had forgiven people but she got a release and she got a release and she could feel the chains coming off of her. And we’re going to participate in communion together and I believe that the chains are going to come off of you. Shirley it was…you learned a lot about forgiveness explain.
Shirley: Okay let me ask first a question here starting out “What is forgiveness?” Let me explain the way that I see it and I understand it. Forgiveness is an act of a person’s will you don’t forgive just a little bit and you don’t say “Well I’ll forgive when I see that person change.” You don’t rejoice when they have had a problem and you don’t say “Well he deserved what happened to him” no you don’t do that at all. You make a decision and a choice to forgive and even you know even sometimes you think you feel justified because things happened so severe against you but in this time and at this point you just say “Lord I’m just willing to be made willing.” And forgiveness many times is a process it just takes time but you must choose to make a start. So I’m going to ask the people to start who listen to my testimony to begin to start to make a choice and that’s step:
- Number l Is to choose to forgive.
We don’t forgive by emotion or by feeling. Jesus didn’t feel like going to the cross or go by emotion to the cross He went by choice and obedience to the Lord and that’s what we have to do. There’s some steps of the process that I’d like to share on forgiveness.
- Number 1 You need to give up the desire to punish the person who offended you. You have to give up the desire to get revenge on them.
- Number 2 You have to stop making excuses for your false and your wrong actions and reactions
- Number 3 You have to stop justifying your actions and your anger
- Number 4 You have to stop defending yourself and just let God defend you.
- Number 5 You must choose not to take offense you need to recognize that Satan is working in the situation through the person.
If I can just say it like this you need to just separate the comment or the thing against you from the person and say that it’s Satan working through them. You need to begin to take authority over your own self you need to refuse to be angry to be bitter to be resentful you have to just give it up. Just give up your desire to do that you say “Well how do I know when I’ve done all of that? How will I know when I’ve forgiven everybody?”
- When the pain of the memory of the offense is gone number 1.
- Number 2 When you can say from the bottom of your heart you don’t owe me anything not even an apology, not even an apology.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t ever ask your forgiveness because your free you’re totally free. And let me tell you some things that happens if you don’t forgive there’s a high cost if you don’t forgive:
- Number 1 it robs us of God’s forgiveness.
Matthew 16:15 allows a root of bitterness this is Hebrews 12:15 un-forgiveness causes us to walk in darkness. 1st John 2:9-11 un-forgiveness shuts God’s ears to our prayers Mark 11: 24-25. Un-forgiveness turns us over to the tormentors and blocks our healing and deliverance Matthew 18 especially verse 34 and 35. Un-forgiveness gives Satan an advantage over us 2nd Corinthians 2 verses 10 and 11. Un-forgiveness binds us to the one that we despise. John 20:13 says “Remit sin” he says “That if we will remit the sins they are remitted if we retain the sins they’re retained.” So when you forgive another person sin against you you let it drop you forget it you cease to dwell on the offense and the offender. When you retain it it means that you hold on to it plus un-forgiveness blocks you to the other person its stuck in your memory you’re not free. And the poison of bitterness continues to flow within you. And I want to give you a good example of this in centuries past the punishment for murder was to chain the dead body to the one who murdered the person. They were forced then to drag this dead body around everywhere they went until it decayed and fell off their body and the body of the decayed person would infect that person. You know un-forgiveness is the same way we are tied to the person that we despise and we refuse to forgive and the memory of what they did and the bitterness abuses us over and over year in and year out just like the dead body dead to the murderer.
Sid: Lets go for our freedom would you lead us in communion right now. And Mishpochah you get the elements ready.
Shirley: Praise God Lord we just love You and we so thank You for the blood of Jesus and the power of the blood and the sprinkling of the blood. Lord we want to pray we want to release today so we want to take communion cup Lord and we want to say that Lord we forgive others who has trespassed against us who has sinned against us who has wounded us, who has hurt us. In obedience to Your command and Your example that You gave us we forgive every person who has ever hurt us in any way. In an act of our will we now forgive and we need right now to name the people those listening now and taking communion with me you need to forgive make a list and forgive the people one by one of who’s offended you living and dead. And wait for the Holy Spirit those you need to forgive if you don’t consciously remember them. And Lord I also bless each one of these and I love them with Your love and I ask3 You to forgive them as well as forgiven me. And since You have forgiven me also accept forgiveness of myself and the love of Jesus and the bondage of un-forgiveness has no more power over me. And Satan I take back all of the ground that you have gained in my life because of my failure and my unwillingness to forgive others and I belong to Christ He has washed me with His blood He has washed my sins away with His redeemed blood. You have no more right to me, you have no more power over me you have no more claim to me and I command every root of bitterness and all strongholds to leave me now in the name of Jesus I command all mental, emotional and physical torment to leave me in the name of Jesus. Father we partake of the blood right now we partake of the cup and we thank You Lord that it cleanses, it delivers, it liberates, it heals. And so Lord we allow Your blood to go through our emotions, through our spirit, throughout our body now and to cleanse us and restore us and deliver us in Jesus name.
Sid: You can participate and if you didn’t you can take the bread if you did fine but if you didn’t take the bread you break it and say (singing) “Baruch Ata Adonai Eloheinu Melech haolam hamotzi min ha-aretz. Amen.” you can eat the bread now. And you can take the cup and remember that is representing the victory in the blood. And Yeshua said this prayer Jesus said this prayer (singing) “Baruch Ata Adonai Eloheinu Melech haolam boray p’ree hagafen. Amen.” And drink the cup. Shirley I believe that a lot of people are being freed and some people are even coming to know the Lord right now it’s becoming so real to them.
Shirley: Amen.
Sid: Would you pray for their healing right now?
Shirley: Yes Father we are fearfully and wonderfully made and Lord even David said “When we were in the womb that you saw us being formed and shaped us and you know every member of our body.” And Lord as a member of our body or any system of our body has decay and has an infection has an infirmity has an affliction and this one has a disease. And right now we take dominion and we take authority over the spirit of disease and affliction and infirmity and of cancer and we tell you right now in the name of Jesus that they have asked for forgiveness and they are forgiven and they have released their offenders and we tell you Satan that you have no longer any authority over them those doors are closed you are renounced you are rebuked and we command you to lose those their body and to come out of their body come out of their body now in the name of Jesus! You loose the captive we bring them we pull them out of the prison house we bring the prisoner of fear and intimidation and abuse and violence and all of those things against them and we pull them out of that prison house and to the power of forgiveness the power of your blood the power of your word. And God we speak of deliverance in the household not just the people but we speak a deliverance in the household of the families of these people who are listening today who are participating with us. We thank Lord that our bodies are made in your image and we are to glorify and we present our bodies as a living sacrifice. God now that we are receiving our healing we want to give back to you oh of full service and full dedication our bodies every member of our body. Lord we determine that we will continually walk in our confession.
Sid: Be whole in Yeshua’s name thank you Shirley.
Our Guest Dr. Chauncey Crandall
SID: Now Doctor, you prayed in tongues and supernatural language in the operating room. Do you recall the first person that was raised from the dead and it had something to do with when you were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues.
DR. CRANDALL: Yes, right.
SID: Tell me about that.
DR. CRANDALL: You know, Sid, for three months I had been praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I didn’t attend a church that believed these things. But I read in the Bible that there was this gift from God called the baptism of the Holy Spirit, so I was praying for that and I didn’t receive it. But one day it happened. In the emergency room, a woman came in with sudden death. We took her to the operating room and I was standing over her body, I was working on her and all of a sudden, Sid, she went flatline on the table. When she went flatline, my arms were pulled up in the air by the Lord over this body and all of a sudden this new language started coming forth out of my mouth. Actually, Sid, this thing bypassed my brain. It was something coming from deep within that came out, poured over this woman who was flatlined on the operating room table. The nurses were running around waiting for the next instruction.
SID: What does flatline mean actually?
DR. CRANDALL: Flatline means that the heart had stopped due to a massive heart attack. There was no life, no pulse, no blood pressure in this body that was on the table. But the Lord had other plans and said, “This will be a miracle.” And as I stood there, this supernatural experience came over me, this new language came out of my mouth that spoke life over this woman and then suddenly life came into her. The heartbeat came back, the breathing came back simply by praying over this woman in this new language from the Lord.
SID: Now there is so much power when he prays in a language from God, a language directly from his spirit that fortunately bypasses his brain because his brain has a filter of limitations. God has no limitation. There’s another one. There’s too many to talk about. But Jeff, who was flatlined, that means dead, dead.
DR. CRANDALL: Yes.
SID: Tell me about Jeff.
DR. CRANDALL: Well this was one day I didn’t feel like a godly person. I was in the middle of work. I was working. A massive heart attack came in, Jeff Martin, and they worked on him in the emergency room for over 40 minutes, and then they called me to come and respond. But as I was walking there, I said, “You know, this man is going to be a dead man. He’s been gone for 40 minutes.” And I arrived at the emergency room, Sid, and it was like chaos. It was an operating room full of chaos trying to bring life into this man, but there was no life left. And I went over the protocol with the senior physician, and we reviewed everything and we decided that everything had been done, and even if we brought this man back he would be brain dead, so we declared him dead. Everyone left the room except one nurse. She was preparing the body for the morgue. I finished my notes and as I walked out of that room, Sid, I heard the voice of God say, “Turn around and pray for that man.” And I said, “Lord, that can’t be you. I can’t pray for a dead man.” And I kept walking, but the voice of the Lord came back a second time, Sid, “Turn around and pray for that man.” So I walked back to the room. I stood over the body. The nurse looked at me, why are you here. The head of the body was here, the feet were here. I prayed. I was going to pray, but I didn’t know what to pray. The Holy Spirit took over. And as I looked down at that body and put my hands on his torso, these words came out my mouth: “Father God, I cry out for this man’s soul. If he does not know you as Lord and Savior, raise him from the dead now in the name of Jesus.” And as I said that prayer, I stepped backwards. My arm went up in the air as to praise the Lord. The other emergency room doctor walked in. “What are you doing? Why are you still here?” I said, “I am praying for this man.” And I looked at the emergency doctor and I said, “Shock this body one more time.” He said, “No, impossible.” I said, “Shock him.” And he went over, he grabbed those paddles on that corpse, he let out the electricity and an instant perfect heartbeat came back, Sid.
SID: Are you special or can anyone do this that knows Jesus?
DR. CRANDALL: I am not special. Anyone can do this, Sid. All of us can do this and walk this way.
SID: Okay. When we come back, here’s what I want to find out. All these people that are dying and coming back to life, what are they experiencing on the other side? Are any of you interested in that? I am. Be right back.
Sid Roth
SID: Now some of you may be wondering why I’m seated and that’s because you don’t understand the Jewish way of teaching. When Jesus, and his name from Miriam his mother, wasn’t Jesus, by the way, it was Yeshua. When Jesus taught, when Yeshua taught he would be seated and many rabbis teach this way. So I thought I would teach this way. Is that okay? All right. Now I’m going to tell you what the Holy Spirit revealed to me and this is important for you to capture, to grasp. The first thing I want to talk about is a word that I understand Joyce Meyer had a tape series on this, a CD series on this subject and no one bought it. And then she changed the title and people bought it. But the original title was what I want to talk about, “Humility.” Now I have a friend and this friend, he says to me all the time, “I’m nothing.” And I have to tell you, teachers like Kenneth Hagan on the righteousness of God and Messiah Jesus, and so I heard him say that and I didn’t say anything. That’s his business, you know. But you know what? It’s got to do with motivation. I hear many people say, I’m the righteousness of God, and that motivation isn’t right. You know what I’m saying? And I hear people say, I’m nothing. I can tell you now, I can honestly say to you, I am nothing. I’m nothing. Without God, I wouldn’t be seated here. Without God, I wouldn’t even be alive right now. Without God, I wouldn’t know where I’m going when I die. Without God, I wouldn’t want to live. And I found this in Scripture, Galatians, chapter 6, verse 3, “For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he is deceiving himself.” You recognize the only thing good in me and the only thing good in you is the Messiah. Galatians 2:20, maybe you can understand right now, “I’ve been crucified with the Messiah. It’s no longer I who live, but the Messiah who lives in me and the life that I now in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.” So anything good in me is from the Messiah. I had the privilege of meeting Katherine Kuhlman, and Katherine Kuhlman would have all this wonderful worship. But you don’t know, she had a motivation behind this wonderful worship. She would be backstage saying, “Holy Spirit, if you don’t show up, nothing is going to happen.” She knew that she was nothing and God could use nothing and make something out of nothing. There’s no room at all for arrogance. Now one of the keys of walking in humility is walking in forgiveness, and I want to put the word “instant” forgiveness. Why? The longer you wait, the tougher it is. You have to instantly forgive. Mark 11:25-26 says, “Whenever you stand praying if you have anything against anyone,” that’s pretty inclusive, you know, anything. What? Anything. Against who? Anyone. Now here’s where forgiveness gets tricky. It’s very important to realize if you’re waiting for a feeling you may wait forever. It’s a decision. I’m going to follow the Messiah. I don’t care if it hurts, I don’t care what happens, I don’t care what I feel, I am a follower of the Messiah, and I am going to instantly forgive. It’s a decision and you can do the decision. You can’t do the feeling, but you can do the decision. The feeling will come. The second thing is I used to think in the wrong, this was wrong, that if someone did something bad to me they had to ask for my forgiveness in order for me to forgive them. Untrue. I am commanded by God to forgive whether they ask me or not. And number three, you can forgive someone and truly forgive them, but they have to earn your trust. That doesn’t mean you’re stupid. You don’t have to trust them, but you have to forgive them. Now you know when you understand this, it’s easy to forgive. Someone said it this way: Unforgiveness is drinking the poison that you want the other person to drink. You know who you’re hurting? You’re just hurting yourself. Now the second thing I want to talk about is something that not too many people talk about and they’d better. This is the most important thing on the heart of God at this moment in history, and it’s holiness, purity. Hebrews 12:14 says, “Pursue holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” By the way, this is my P.S. No one will see the Lord in this life or when they leave. Anyone interested in seeing the Lord when they leave? Anyone interested in seeing the Lord in this life? Without holiness, you will not see the Lord. I mean, I kind of, I can rest the case on that. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators nor adulators, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covenants, nor drunkards will inherit the Kingdom of God.” Biblical morality does not change with the times. God says, “I am the same yesterday, today and forever and you that think you can practice new age, homosexuality, sex without marriage, living with a partner without being married, pornography, everything listed in Deuteronomy 18 and see God, you are as the scripture says, you are deceived. I’m telling you that holiness is possible, not in yourself, but it’s called grace. It’s not grace to sin, it’s grace to have the power to overcome the sin. Let’s get it straight. And when I come back, I’ll go to the next point.
Our Guest Israel Pochtar
SID: So Israel Pochtar moves with his wife, who did not say, Hallelujah to Ashdod, moving from a fun city, Tel Aviv to Ashdod. So they move there and everything is going okay, and they’re getting established. And all of a sudden, 1000 very religious Jews, you know the black hat and the high hats and the black outfits show up at your congregation. Why did they come?
ISRAEL: You know, they didn’t like to see Israelis coming to the Lord, especially in the cities in the Judah. They had been emphasizing that. And we were the first congregation in the history of our city, and the city is pretty big today, 250,000 people, and it’s only two congregations, one Russian, one Hebrew. There is no traditional churches, no [unintelligible], no Baptist, Pentecost or whatever you name it, only us. So they just decided to close us down because we were preaching the Gospel daily and attitudes started to change, and people knew about us.
SID: They actually began cursing you on the main TV station there.
ISRAEL: Yeah. Their protests, demonstrations were all over TV, radio, newspapers and it gets ugly and unfair many times, putting Nazi crosses by my name and all kind of stuff. You know, they didn’t know to address Jewish people. They didn’t know what can touch their hearts. So it was tough. It was a tough experience.
SID: Now they actually came to your house.
ISRAEL: And they actually, not only my house. First of all, they started to come to every meeting we had, the group of people protesting, cursing, praying against, spitting. And if you would come to my congregation, anybody would come to my congregation, back then, they would come, shouting, a loud crowd of orthodox protestors and they need to hear why they’re not supposed to come to the congregation. Now they started to follow our cars, our people, trying to figure out when we leave and they come to visit, not only my neighbors, every congregational member got visitors, and they visited not only us, but also our neighbors to tell them how bad we are and what’s wrong we do. And of course, that’s illegal, but you know, we cannot stop it. Also, they posted my pictures, my wife’s pictures with my home address saying, “Dangerous, Careful. Israel and Victoria Pochtar” and my address.
SID: I have to ask you this, Israel. I don’t know how you did it, but I don’t know how you did it with a wife and children, and that type of persecution. How did you stand? How did you really do it?
ISRAEL: You know what I see, you can never be ready for persecutions. And actually, you know, the Holy Spirit talked to me before and I knew it’s going to come, but it caught us by surprise anyway.
SID: Why didn’t you leave? Why didn’t you just give up? Most people would have.
ISRAEL: Yeah, but we just know. We were called to the city. We had word from God and he promised us, and we knew one who isn’t us is stronger.
SID: According to the scripture, “Without a vision, my people perish.” This man had a vision from God. And then today, you come to my meeting in Jerusalem. You see 650 Jewish people of which 98 percent stand up and make professions of faith. You’ve got, you see all the healings that are going on. You told me a phrase. You told me it was a new day for Israel. What did you mean?
ISRAEL: Yes and it’s a new day for Israel because Israel is changing. And many people cannot imagine that, but God is opening hearts of people like never before and it’s not a major revival yet. But at the same time, you’ve been there and you’ve seen a number of people who could never have come together as non-believers and one place and hearing the Gospel, and respond to the Gospel. It’s a new day for Israel and atmosphere in Israel is changing. I know many of that, it’s connected to the prayers of Christians, of people from all over the world who pray for Israel faithfully, for some a lifetime.
SID: I’ll tell you what, I want you to see right now the almost 650 Jewish people standing up and publically proclaiming, in Jerusalem, Israel, that Yeshua is my Messiah and Lord.
[begin video]
SID: I want you to experience the peace of God. I want you to know the Moshiach of Israel. I want everyone that wants that same peace to stand up right now and let me pray a supernatural prayer over you. If you want that peace, stand up. If you don’t want them to know the Messiah then don’t. You want the Shalom of God, stand up God. If you like life the way it is, sit down. If you think there must be something more, stand up. You’ve seen miracles tonight. You’re about ready to be a miracle. You are about ready to be a miracle. Say out loud, Dear God, I’ve made many mistakes in my life for which I’m so sorry. I want to know you. I want Yeshua to be my Lord. Lord Yeshua, give me that new heart. Come inside of me. Take over my life. Amen.
[end video]
SID: This is the set time to favor Zion. Israel, do you have a couple of words of knowledge, real quick? What is God telling you, who is being healed?
ISRAEL: Yeah. There is people with problems in their wrists and joints, and the Holy Spirit is touching them, touching you right now. Receive your healing. I feel the flow of the Holy Spirit.
SID: Me, too.
ISRAEL: It’s really touching people, touching their backs, touching their bodies.
SID: I’m going to tell you something. There is a flow of the Living Spirit of God right now. Whatever you need, take it. Whatever you need, take it. The Messiah paid the price for you for every pain and every disease. According to Psalm 103, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, forget not all his benefits.” He’s forgiven all of my sins. He’s healed all, all, all of your diseases. By faith, take it right now. Do something you couldn’t do because healing is yours. Jesus gave you that.
Our Guest Cherie Calbom
SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest says there has to be a marriage between the natural and the supernatural. She says that what you do not know about the natural is killing you. So Cherie, you talk about this marriage between the natural and the supernatural as a partnering with God. People, they feel satisfied, oh, I’m a certain age, I’m supposed to have these aches and pains, I’m supposed to get sick every once in a while, I’m supposed to lose my memory, I’m not supposed to have good sleep. That’s what happens when you get old. You say, wrong. Explain.
CHERIE: I say absolutely wrong. This sub-optimal health is not what we are to have. We are to have vibrant health, supernatural health. But we must do our part. God is calling us to do our part. So a little headache, a little insomnia, fatigue, a cold several times a year, constipation, all of the problems that people are running to the drug store, running to their doctor for, don’t just accept it.
SID: Brain fog.
CHERIE: Brain fog is big. It’s really big and allergies, and asthma. Many things that people accept, this is just part of life. My blood sugar goes up, my cholesterol goes up. I have this problem and that problem. No, God says no, you don’t have to have that.
SID: High blood pressure runs in my family, heart trouble, diabetes.
CHERIE: You know, we all have an Achilles heel, somewhere, something. [So] we have to work a little harder maybe than our neighbor does. But God says, no, you don’t have to go there. You can have Divine health, supernatural health, life.
SID: You got it.
CHERIE: Choose life. Choose life in all you do and all you eat.
SID: Okay. You had a vision you shared the last time of believers on a battlefield. Tell me that again.
CHERIE: It was such an exciting vision in a healing service. And the Lord took me to a huge battlefield with God’s soldiers lying all over the battlefield. And I saw labels across them. Their armor was askew, you know, the sword and the shield lying at their sides. They were in pain, they were sick. And I saw cancer, a label like cancer on one, heart disease on another, diabetes, scleroderma, lupus, MS, arthritis, headaches, migraine headaches, fatigue, on and on it went as I walked this battlefield. And not only were the soldiers down, they were being kicked and punched, and hit by demonic forces. They were not able to stand up and fight like the soldiers that had their armor on and intact, and their shield and sword up. And God said, “Cherie, I want you to go to my people and teach them how to live, how to eat. They are just being destroyed for lack of knowledge. They’re eating man’s food. (unintelligible) everything beautiful God has done. God has given us beautiful food for us for our wholeness, our healing, our life and man has diverted it.
SID: I hear about this “GMO”, genetically modified food. Why is that bad for us?
CHERIE: We’ve mixed the seed. Does scripture say, “Don’t mix the seed.” And we’ve mixed more than just seeds now, you know, a fish gene with a tomato gene. It is an abomination unto God and it is harming people. They have done studies with animals, the poor rats that they’ve given a GMO diet to, you see huge tumors hanging from their bodies like in a year, a year and a half, and it’s totally messing up people’s lives. So I say, get organic over the top GMO crops — which are soy and corn, sugar beets is big, canola is a big GMO crop. Get organic and get organic as much as you can.
SID: You say that people that start eating right actually start zooming more in the Spirit.
CHERIE: Oh they do. I’ve heard from people all over the world who say, “Cherie, I got on your program and I got off the sugar, and I got off the bad stuff, and all of a sudden my brain fog lifted. I’m hearing the Holy Spirit. I’m hearing clearer. More clearly, the Scriptures are being revealed to me and my prayer life is coming alive. And I have more energy and I can spend more time with God in prayer and reading.” It’s changing people’s lives spiritually as well as physically.
SID: I’ll tell you what, Cherie, there’s such a presence of God. You’re about ready to understand the natural so that you can fulfill your destiny in the supernatural. And there is one item that is the root of just about every disease on the planet, and I’m going to have Cherie teach on this when we come back.
