It's Supernatural

Sid:Do you have sort of a sense that something so wonderful is about ready to happen in the Spirit of God?I believe prophetically speaking three giants went home to be with the Lordthis year and there’s a real message prophetically speaking in this.

1. Bill Bright and he was the founder of Campus Crusade a ministry to college students and young people.
2. Ken Hagen now what was he known for? A ministry of faith and walking in the Spirit.
3. Derek Prince, well Derek Prince was known for a lot of things but in recent years what he was known for was his position on Israel.

If you recall I was at his funeral and just before he died we were told he gave a prophetic word as to what God is up to at this moment in history. And it was so simple and yet it was so profound he said “God is restoring Israel and judging the nations.” Now when you look at these 3 great giants of God that went home this is what I see. I see the ingredients of the next move of God’s Spirit it will involve young people that’s what Bill Bright brought to the table. It will evolve faith and walking in the Spirit that’s what Ken Hagen taught. And it will involve the Jew and Israel, that’s what Derek Prince emphasized. And if we put those 3 ingredients together I believe that these are 3 of the greatest ingredients of the next move of God’s Spirit. And if you turn to Ephesians the 2^nd chapter the 14^th verse I’ve called it the One New Manbut let me explain to you why I call it the One New Man. “For He Himself is our peace who has made both one (He’s talking about Jews and Gentiles) and has broken down the middle wall of separation.” So why did Yeshua come? To break down the middle wall of separations between Jews and non-Jews having abolished in His flesh the enmity that is the law of commandments contained in ordinances so as to create in himself One New Man. That’s where that phrase comes from. So to create in Him One New Man from the two thus making peace. And the Hebrew name for peace is Shalom, completeness.As if to say “Until the Jew is added to the body of Messiah there is an incompleteness.” In other words a Jewish person needs a Christian and a Gentile Christian needs a Jew. And the 16^th verse that he might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross thereby putting to death the enmity.” And then jump down to the 22^nd verse because this is what he’s doing “In whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” In other words, the One New Man is the new temple of God your body is the temple of God but the corporate temple of God is the Jew and Gentile. Again why did Jesus come? To break down that middle wall of separation and you know when I see this verse 22 it says “Whom you are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” I’m reminded again of a teaching of a teaching of Kenneth Hagen and he used to say “You are a spirit, you live in a body and you have a soul.” You see psychology doesn’t even understand the spirit. Psychology says you’re really a soul. No, you are a spirit and our problem is that we’re so carnally minded that we lose track of the fact that we a spirit. Yes we have a soul, yes we have a body, but the eternal you is your spirit. The part of you that communicates with God is your spirit. In fact, one of the things that I’ve been trying to do is rely more on my spirit than on my brain. Now why would I want to do that? Because God’s Holy Spirit is mingled with my spirit and God’s Holy Spirit knows everything. My mind only has limited information, it’s like a computer it only knows what’s going in it doesn’t know anything else. But God knows everything, that’s why even praying in tongues is so important. But most believers are so caught up in the things of this earth that they don’t recognize that this earth is not there heaven is your home. I think it would do you a lot of good, it would do me a lot of good to say over and over again until I get it in my thick skull or in my spirit really “I am a spirit, I happen to live in a physical body, and I happen to have a soul. But I’m much more interested in being the one new man a dwelling placeof God in the Spirit.”

One of the most important things about the one new man is what the Christian brings. You know it’s like cooking a cake if you have the wrong ingredients in the recipe the cake won’t be as good. But if you have the right ingredients you’re going to bake a wonderful cake. Now I do not cook a whole lot you can ask my wife Joyce that’s not one of my pastimes. I like to eat, I don’t like to cook but I know enough about cooking to know you need the right ingredients. So what does the Gentile Christian bring to the table? The Gentile Christian brings 2000 years of walking with Jesus. The Gentile Christian brings the fruit of the Spirit. The Gentile Christian brings the knowledge of the New Covenant. So what does the Jewish person bring in this cake that we’re baking right now. It’s found in Romans the 9^th chapter. Paul says “I tell the truth in Messiah, I am not lying my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart for I could wish that I myself were a curse from Messiah for my breather, my countrymen according to the flesh.”

You imagine this I mean this has got to be short of Jesus dying for us the next most amazing statement in the Bible Paul would give up his very relationship with Jesus eternity forever for his brethren after the flesh the Jewish people. And then he begins to say “Well, let me tell you why this is so important. Because the Jewish people their Israelites to whom pertain first the adoption. God says of the Jewish people you are my first born, and then the glory.” Can you imagine what will happen when the Old Covenant glory comingles with the New Covenant Glory? It’ll be like the ladder reign and the former reign Joel talks about coming down at once. That’s what’s about ready to happen. Of the Jewish people we owe a debt of gratitude because there’s other covenants the giving of the law the service of God. And in Greek that word service could just as easily be translated the worship of God. In fact some translations say “The worship of God.”

I believe that there’s music from heaven ready to come to earth. And you know what this music, we read about this music in heaven. In Revelations let me turn to that right now the 15^th chapter it talks about the music in heaven. And it says in Revelation 15:3 “They sang (and this is what they’re singing in heaven and it’s about ready to be passed on to earth) they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God (That represents the worship from the Jewish people) and the song of the lamb” (That represents the Gentile Christians), but I believe that when the two worships come together the song of the Lamb and the song of Moses when they’re intermingled it’s going to be the forerunner of the greatest move of God’s Spirit. Because it says also of the Jewish people the promises, what are the promises? Well I’ll tell you the promises God, and this is a tough statement and I’ll pick up here on tomorrows broadcast. But I’m going to by God’s grace and by the Spirit of God I’m going to give you revelation knowledge of the next move of God’s Spirit on planet earth the promises involving the land. Do you know who the first Zionist was? The Zionist believe that the Jewish people are entitled to the physical land of Israel forever. Do you know who the first Zionist were? You know a lot of people say “Well, I’m not against Jewish people I’m just against Zionism, I’m against Israel.” You can’t separate the two because do you know who the first Zionist was? God, if you are against Jewish people having the physical land of Israel unconditionally forever I tell you you are against God. And in the Living Bible and in Zachariah it says “He that touches Israel is the same as someone that pokes their finger in God’s eye.” Well, you have to be a pretty stupid person to want to do that. Were out of time…

Sid: Guess what? Just as I am saying that God is speaking to me that people are being healed. There are people that have back and neck problems that if you bend over and if you’ll move your head you’ll see that you have been totally healed. And it’s no wonder my guest moves in some extraordinary signs and wonders that candidly I have never heard of anyone in my life time that walked in these particular gifts. His name is Dr. James Maloney. And I’ve wanted to interview him for a long time and this is the moment. James I was talking to you the other day and you told me about to me what was so amazing a tattoo supernaturally came off of someone, tell me about that.

James: Well, Sid can I just interject something, while you were getting those words of knowledge I felt that there was several individuals that were getting healed in the thyroid area. In fact tumors areas in the thyroid and one particular lady doesn’t even have a thyroid and if she would stick her finger in that vacant hole there she will find that it’s growing and thickening; we’ve seen 100s of people get healed of this and I just felt that when you were moving so powerful in the word of knowledge that people are getting healed and tumors are dissolving. So I’m sure you’ll get a report praise God (Laughing.) Well this particular young man he was a part of the gang of our day and his tattoos on his body was about the worst that I’ve ever seen Sid in my life. He was up in the prayer line a precious precious young gentleman been saved just a couple of weeks and he was so embarrassed because he had needle marks in his arms just hundreds of them black and blue on both arms and yet also to all of the tattoos they were so demonic, he said you know and tears welled up in his eyes and he said “I just want to serve God and yet I’m so embarrassed by these tattoos.” And I felt the Holy Spirit just rise up within me and I had an impression of God’s hands was kind of above him above his head in a visionary form. God placed in his hands on those needle marks and so I just did that, I just spontaneously and when I removed my hand about 15 seconds later all of the needle marks disappeared. And I said “Now watch what God will do for your tattoos, that’s all I said I mean nothing changed at that time so the next morning he woke up and he was washing his face and brushing his teeth in the mirror and here’s all of these tattoos all over his body. I don’t think that there was an area of his body that he didn’t have a tattoo and they were all demonic. And he said “Oh Jesus.” And when he said that all of a sudden he felt this surge like a tingling and poof like dust all of these tattoos just poofed in the air and flaked on in the air and God removed ever tattoo on his body.

Sid: James you have been in ministry 40+ years.

James:   A hah.

Sid: Does it ever get old to you seeing something like that?

James: No, I mean it just oh Sid to God’s glory, every time I see something like that it’s a fresh and a new and God’s so good.

Sid: You know that’s how I feel too, I mean to see the Living God show up at a meeting, I mean it blows me out of the water.

James: Well, it is, it’s exciting and it’s been that way for 40 some years ever since I remember when I was setting under a ministry of the late Kathryn Kuhlman, Lonnie Frisbee, all of the Jesus people.

Sid: Oh, I heard about Lonnie Frisbees miraculous anointing, I mean it was unreal. But one of the things that you’re doing that is I’ve never heard of this actually ever before. You call it a panoramic vision, what exactly is a panoramic vision?

James: Well Sid, what it is it’s an operation of the discerning of spirits. I tell people in my meetings I really don’t have gifts of healing and workings of miracles. Now maybe some other minister does but I don’t I have discerning of spirits and gift of faith. So what happens is ever since I was 19 years of age I felt a real surge of anointing particularly in my right hand. And after all of these years of praying for countless people I have been able to learn to discern certain impressions in my hand that the Holy Spirit’s allowing me to sense that’s a directly from the Father going into the person’s body. And so that’s one aspect of discernment and they sense it as well, but also I have because of my own infirmity in the past few years the Holy Spirit has allowed a tremendous experience to some in my life. And it’s not something new it was something that mightily moved and operated in the late 1940’s and I’m sure others but practically the late William Braham and his early ministry. And I think I’m just a generation right now one of many I’m sure that God’s going to raise up that this panoramic operation.

Sid: But explain what you see, what exactly is a panoramic vision?

James: It’s Hosea 14:10 where it says Hosea states that “I will come to multiply visions. And if you look in the original Hebraic language it means “I come into panoramic or we get motions picture. So what happens is when I have a distinct presence of a specific angel to my right side if I get real quiet and listen discernment comes to me and up thrown the gentleman or lady I have snap shots of different events in their life.   It’s like my thought life, my thoughts are thrown up on the throne or the ceiling and they superimpose themselves and they’re even more down or more seen than even the wall or the ceiling and so they start moving. So what happens is it’s quite simple I just see it move “Three years ago you were in a car accident and you were driving a red Corolla, is that correct?” And they go “How’d you know?” I can quote 9 times out of 10 they say “How do you know?” And “What happens is your right hip was completely smashed, you had reconstructive surgery, you have a metal hip is that correct?” Ah, ha, how did you know?” And they start sensing a burning sometimes and God just quickens their body and dissolves like we’ve had this countless times the metal and God give them a brand new hip and they’ve gone back to the doctors and they can’t find the metal. And you know it creates faith, it creates faith not only in my life because there’s absolutely no way Sid that I would have the faith development as long as I walked over 47 years to have those kind of details. And so it’s a gift of faith that drops on me and I just know that I know that I know that what I’m seeing is of God, I’ve developed it that I just share it. And then what happens is the gift of faith goes out in the congregation.

Sid: What do you mean by that when the gift of faith goes out in the congregation what occurs?

James: Oh, all kinds of things. I mean their faith level goes from 2 or 3 to 15 you know and some people start getting healed in their seats, tumors dissolve, cancers, crippling conditions…  

Sid: James when I hear what you’re saying right now and I think back about your beginnings I mean you as a baby you were neglected, you were hungry, you were dirty, you were locked in a closet for hours, you went through brutal beatings, how did you even survive that I don’t see how anyone can survive that?

James: Well Sid I barely survived, I barely did survive this is not a bad reflection to my biological Mom she was just trying to protect me from her crazed husband who was an alcoholic. She’d had an affair and I was illegitimate, she had not told him because he was in penitentiary when he was parolled early he saw this 3 year old that was on his living room floor and he knew that I could not possibly be his because there was no visitation rights in that day and so the demon of anger rose up and so I for about a year I went through this type of physical abuse, I lived over 9 months in the closet. The only time I was taken out of the closet was to be beaten, then thrown back in their sometimes I go 2 or 3 days with just a bottle of water, maybe just a little bit of milk, half eaten hamburger. I don’t know Sid I really just God’s grace I mean you know just God’s grace…

Sid: You know James our time is slipping away but I wanted them to see you know I’ve gotten to know you a little bit you walk in humility but you will never forget you beginnings and its all God in your life. And that’s the way it is in everyone’s life they just don’t know it; you know it. Now James I am so excited to release the Forerunner Foundation Package” which consists of your brand new book “Overwhelmed By the Spirit” and 3 CD messages. I love the term you describe the Holy Spirit as “The Glorious Intruder.” And the Holy Spirit has sent to empower us to bring God’s plan to place in our life….

SID: Hello. Welcome. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. I had the high privilege of meeting a woman by the name of Kathryn Kuhlman, who is now in Heaven, the greatest miracle ministry I have ever witnessed with my eyes. And she said, “I can tell you the year, the month, the day and the hour that this miracle ministry came upon her.” And my guest can tell you the year, the month, the day and the hour that a great mantle for miracles came upon him, and he wants to teach you how you can walk in those same supernatural miracles. Are you interested? Guillermo Maldonado, and Guillermo, you have always had miracles. But something new is going on with you. But I want to whet your appetite. Tell me one recent creative miracle.

MALDONADO: One of the most powerful miracles I’ve seen was, this woman, I was ministering in the Netherlands. And as I ministered, the power of God fell. And this woman ran to the altar and she starts screaming. She said, “I am filled! I am filled!” I said, “What do you mean, I am filled?” She goes, “Twenty years ago, my womb had been removed because of cancer.” So she said, “I was empty and now the power of God fell on me and I feel that I’m full. So I went back to the doctor.” This is documented. “Went back to the doctor and the doctor said, ‘Well you got a brand new womb,'” a 20-year-old girl, a brand new womb.

SID: How does that doctor look at this and not go a little berserk?

MALDONADO: So he said, “This is God.” I mean, he had to recognize it was God. Because he said, “I removed the womb, so now you got a brand new womb.”

SID: Now I have to tell you. Although Guillermo has been walking in miracles probably almost as long as he’s been a believer, he’s at a different point now. And I told you when we were talking on the telephone that when I heard your message, I heard something different in your voice. There was a softness, a tenderness. Yes, you were soft before, yes you were tender before, but not, something’s happened to you. What’s happened?

MALDONADO: What happened, I received the baptism of love. Those that are watching are saying, what is that? I never heard about that. The Bible talks about different kinds of baptisms. And one time I was ministering and praying to the Lord and I get into the presence of God, and suddenly I felt like a liquid thing like water falling into my head and into my back. And I turned around and looked at the roof, and I didn’t see anything. And I said, what is this? I’m feeling something liquid. And the Lord said, “That is my liquid love.” That moment I fell on the floor. I started weeping and crying. And the question is what happened afterwards.

SID: I have to ask you a question. When this is going on, when this is going on, you call it liquid love. Did you feel like, for instance, I have felt this love myself, and when I felt it, it was almost like going from heat to air conditioning. It was tangible.

MALDONADO: Yes.

SID: What did you feel?

MALDONADO: That’s the same thing. I felt like water falling like oil coming into my head.

SID: Did you think there was a leak in the roof

MALDONADO: Yeah, that’s what I thought.

SID: Really?

MALDONADO: That’s what I thought. I turned around. I didn’t see anything. And I keep feeling that liquid love. And after this, it was suddenly I knew, Sid, I knew that I had God’s perspective toward people.

SID: So okay, now give me an example of this liquid love how you react to people now, maybe different than before.

MALDONADO: Okay. The moment, there’s so many things that happen after you receive the baptism of love. It’s a supernatural love, by the way. So the moment I received that liquid love, I start praying for certain people, and I saw that I didn’t pray like before. It was like such a compassion. I was moved to do something. When I saw somebody sick, when I saw somebody oppressed, I suddenly changed my perspective with people. And second, Sid, that moment when I received the liquid love, I received that I died to self. It was like selflessness, which is being empty of yourself happen in my heart. And God filled me completely with His love. So that was the moment when I said something happened to me.

SID: Tell me, well I could hear it. I heard it in your voice. I absolutely did.

MALDONADO: Yes.

SID: Without knowing anything that you’re telling me right now.

MALDONADO: Right.

SID: Give me one person that you were moved towards and explain.

MALDONADO: Okay. You know, there was a person that, one night, for example, there were so many people that the Lord said, “I will show you how the heart is connected, how the heart is connected to their state of their life.” And this person came to me, 40 years, 40 years being deaf, I’m sorry, deaf. And I just got close to the person. I didn’t even speak to the person. I just hugged, and that person completely got healed. And there’s another person. I mean, two weeks ago, this lady, 14 years deaf, completely deaf. And the Lord said, “Just hug her because my love is on you.” I got close to her, I mean, just love her, and that moment, God, boom, God opened her ears. So miracles like that.

SID: You know, there is a missing ingredient and that is a word called “transformation”.

MALDONADO: Yes, yes.

SID: And this missing ingredient…

MALDONADO: Yes.

SID: When we come back, we’re going to talk about it. But most true believers in the Messiah have some sort of an experience with God and that’s what catapults them into being a believer in the Messiah. But then they stagnate.

MALDONADO: Yes, yes.

SID: They’re sort of like my Jewish people walking in the desert for 40 years in a big circle, when they’re only one week away from the Promised Land. When we come back, I want you to understand transformation.

Sid: My guest by way of telephone is Rebecca Park Totilo. I’m speaking to her…. caught up with her in Wichita, Kansas. And we were so excited about her brand new book it’s called “His Majesty Requests.” What she has done few Christians even comprehend. You see we have Jewish weddings today but Jewish weddings today are very different than the weddings at the time that Jesus walked in the flesh. A lot of what He wrote especially having to do with the royal wedding of the Lamb. He felt everyone would understand in a Jewish culture for Jewish people with Jewish weddings going on all of the time that everyone would understand the symbolism He was using. Well they did but in this generation most Christians don’t have a clue and miss so many wonderful things about the wedding supper of the Lamb, the Royal Wedding you can’t because it’s coming up soon and you’re part of the bride. And there is a dimension of intimacy revealed in the scriptures and revealed in a traditional ancient Jewish wedding that will equip you for the greatest wedding in history. So I have on the telephone Rebecca, and Rebecca some of the things that you went through as a child most Christians would have difficulty. I mean you were saved at 12 you promptly backslid in high school. How did you backslide just a little at a time or what were the major ingredients?

Rebecca: Well it’s not a pretty story but it’s the truth. Actually my father passed away when I had just turned 14 and so you know that’s a critical time in your life as a child when you’re entering the high school years. And of course I was very naive and innocent at that time and had not gone out with guys or anything but yet I because of that void in my life I had sort of fell into that trap of looking for affection and love in the wrong places. And actually it was in my sophomore year of high school that my Driver’s Ed Teacher took me out in the car and attempted to rape me. And of course he was not able to you know get away with it. And so I told my mom what had happened and such and because of all of the, you know, the circulation of stories going around and I was a cheerleader in high school and they didn’t want my reputation to be ruined and everything so they just sort of put it… sort of slipped it under the rug and pretended like it didn’t happen. But the teacher did lose his job and with that because of you know the injustice that had been done to me and I was the one that ended up feeling bad about myself that I had somehow caused this and brought this on to myself that I you know went and found you know affection from guys. And in fact within a couple of weeks later another guy who had taken me out to a sorority party had taken me out to a field and did rape me. And so that was the downhill side for me because I lost my virginity. That one thing that I held on to and felt was very precious and valuable to me the only thing that I thought that I had.

Sid: But then you kept sliding you got into drugs, you got into the occult.

Rebecca: Yes, it was actually through the high school years but I began to you know experiment with drugs and continue to live a partying lifestyle and it just grew deeper and deeper.

Sid: Now out of curiosity you’re a very prophetic type of individual today as a believer, but in your college days as you were into drugs and the New Age you actually saw demons?

Rebecca: Yes.

Sid: Were you afraid of them at all?

Rebecca: No, actually I really loved the spiritual realm and I think that’s what you see in many people today though they’re not necessarily believers and Christians or followers of the Messiah. But yet there’s that inward calling on a person and I had that hunger for the spiritual things but it was going to the wrong direction of course it was in a warped you know…

Sid: It’s a perversion of the real thing.

Rebecca: Exactly and so I had a real love for darkness in fact and I just had felt comfort in the darkness.

Sid: Did you really see a witch change into a cat before your eyes?

Rebecca: Yes she… I was working in a bar and we were closing up and the people, there was only a couple of people left the owner and the bartender and people And I was walking out. And this woman had come in and told us… I don’t know why but for some reason she was really angry with us in there and she came in and told us she was going to put a curse upon us, and everybody sort of laughed and made fun of her. So when I went outside I saw her actually walk around the car and instead of coming around the other side of the car like you would see someone do there was a black cat that came out from behind the car. And she disappeared and she was gone (Chuckle) and very strange. I was living down at the intercity going to college at the time and so there’s all kinds of things going on in that area of town and there’s a lot of bars and voodoo and a lot of witchcraft and things going on. So I was living right in the midst of it.

Sid: You had a vision in which Satan himself came to you what was that like?

Rebecca: Well, it was very close to the time where I think I had come to almost a crossroads in my walk.

Sid: You were suicidal?

Rebecca: Yes, yes because I had done so many drugs and mixing it with alcohol and it was only by a miracle you know that God kept His hand upon my life and didn’t allow me to die. But during that time, and it was one of the darkest periods; you know I could say it was the darkest period of my life where it was the worst place in my life feeling very worthless and useless to anyone else. I was living alone and I had a lot of occultic things in my home so it was a real manifestation of demons in my house. I can remember I used to worship the Rolling Stones music and I just loved Mick Jagger and you know I just listened 12 hours a day, so I was constantly just having this mantra through my head. And so during that time I can remember that Satan appeared before me in a you know a sort of a vision half where he was almost transparent but you could see the figure of his person in front of me and the darkness. He was the beautiful… he came in the image of the image of man and was very beautiful but you know you could see the darkness around him and the red you know at the bottom. And so he was there to entice me to come and to make a vow to him that I would serve him only. And that with that he gave me a promise that “I’ll let you be whatever you want to be a famous world, you know a famous whatever that your heart desires.” And it was at that same time that you know just the lack of direction in my own life that I was seeking to know what I was supposed to do with the rest of my life. Here I was coming to the end you know the last couple years of my college not knowing where I was going to go and do with my life. We also have these fantasies that we want to be somebody famous, rich and famous you know people look up to us. And that night the Lord came to me in a dream too. And I had a dream and I saw the Lord sitting in a boat off the shore and He was calling me out to the boat and He was saying “Come and follow me.” So when I woke up that morning I took out my Bible which I hadn’t looked at in years it was the one from my childhood, the one that I had gotten when I was 12 years old.

Sid: Did he tell you in that dream that this was your last chance?

Rebecca: Yes, He did because…

Sid: Was that scary because you said it wasn’t scary to see the demons; was that scary when God says “This is your last chance?”

Rebecca: Yes, because he had come to me before and he had you know tried to woo me back before and I knew that this was the 3^rd time. That he had you know made this where He was actually coming to tell me that “I need to come back.” I was really going too far out and if I took the next step towards Satan that I was going to be lost because I would have gone you know its so deep into the occult and you know to the witchcraft and Satanism that He was telling me that I needed you know to grab a hold of Him. So I did. I took out my Bible and I flipped it open and the scripture was the only I had gotten when I was a child. You know the one that says that if you would deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow Him.

Sid: But the next day your sister starts talking to you about rock and roll music and what effect did that have on you?

Rebecca: Oh boy, well she had touched all of my sacred cows when she talked to me about this stuff and you know I was very fascinated about what she was telling me because I knew these groups intimately. I had a fascinating especially with the Rolling Stones. And it was very interesting to see that at the same time I knew that I had grieved God’s heart and I knew that I just wept for 3 hours and I really didn’t want to give up my gods you know. But I knew the Lord was saying that I needed to lay it down and give these things up and give up my idol worship and to separate myself from these things. And my heart was convicted by that I knew what she was saying was true. So we went home and I was afraid to go back home actually because I knew that once you recognize the presence of demons in your place it’s scary to go back into it. You know the darkness is there and you’re comfortable you know your comforted by that darkness because they’re familiar spirits they’ve been with you all of this time. But now there was a new Spirit upon me you know the Holy Spirit was working in me and beginning to cleanse me from all of this idol worship and all I had gotten into. I was going to have to go back in it and face it and I was afraid. And so my brother-in-law went with me downtown to my apartment and were cleansing out my house and getting rid of all of the albums and books and everything that was you know tied to that.

Sid: Is it true that when you did that you were instantly delivered from drugs and alcohol?

Rebecca: Oh yeah, oh yeah the Lord was very gracious to me (Chuckling) because He instantly removed…

Sid: Yeah, but what I read you used to take handfuls of drugs and drink vodka straight!

Rebecca: Yeah, yeah, that was something.

Sid: Yeah instantly set free!

Rebecca: Yeah, yeah when I came home from the bar that night and this is a scary thing when I tell people…

Sid: Will you hold that thought we’re out of time.

Sid: We want everyone everywhere to be red hot for the Messiah. That’s what my guest stands for. His name George Otis, Jr. out of the Centennial Group located in Lynnwood, Washington. They are investigative reporters for entire cities, entire nations that are being transformed by the gospel. Not just what is known as revival in this one congregation or that one congregation; praise God for those things, but here in the United States at least they’re not really impacting entire cities. But you were talking about amazing supernatural things that are happening George when believers get together and pray and petition God they find out He answers prayers. In the Island of Fiji what’s going on?

George: Well over the last several years I’ve had the great privilege of visiting Fiji 3 times. We’ve shoot about 200 hours of video footage out there, met multiple times with the President, Prime Minister, most of the great chiefs in the nation, as well as people in small obscure villages and we’ve see a move of God in that nation that is truly rare and wonderful. In May of 2000 the nation of Fiji was shattered by a very bloody coup that was launched by an ethnic Fijian nationalist supernatural nationalist by the name of George Spate. The Fijian government was held hostage for 56 days. Shops that were owned by Indians, people from India, Indo-Fijians were destroyed, were burned out, were looted. It was just an absolute mess and during that time this transformations video which we’ve been talking about somebody brought it into the nation, I think through Australia and people began to watch it over and over and over again at all levels of society. It infused them with hope that even as black as things were at that moment in Fiji’s history that God could still breakthrough and lift them up into light. And that has been happening since the spring of 2000. Almost the entire government now, the government ministries, is filled with born again men and woman of God. They’ve established a new ministry called “The Ministry of Unity” and national reconciliation headed by a Christian. There’s church unity right now in Fiji that I’ve not seen probably anywhere else in the world. Most of the Grand Chiefs across the various Island groups in Fiji have come in the last 18 to 24 months and formally dedicated their land, and their people back to God. And they have interestingly enough they prepared as long as 18 months to even petition God. Using these 18 months to get their hearts cleansed and right before God to deal with problems that they’ve had with other people. In other words to come to God on His terms with clean hands and a pure heart and they’ve had ecologic problems very serious their reefs have been dying, their fish had been going away, their root crops had not been growing. So at the end of their fasting and prayer and repentance they’ve been filling these little wooden bowls with pieces of broken coral, with seawater of there coastal villages or with soil and offering it up to the Lord of host come again and exercise Your Lordship over our people and over our land. Every time that this has happened in the last 20 some months, and it’s happened now in about 3 dozen locations immediately regardless of the weather conditions at the moment it has begun to rain immediately.

Sid: Such power such supernatural power in unity and prayer but you need God for both.

George: And a clean heart, saying God we can’t do it You need to come and God will only come and attach Himself to a people and a place that will welcome Him and invite Him on His terms.

Sid: You’re talking about holiness.

George: That’s right and what has happened instantly after the presence of God descends He’s begun to fix all of the problems in this society. The number of stories I could tell you I wish we had time for, but one particular little village that we filmed in all of their food had gone and they hadn’t seen their staple fish for 55 years. And immediately on that day the last day of a the 21 day fast on that day they caught 4000 large fish in their nets, thousands the next day, thousands the next day. This one little Village of Polbulailai on the Island of Niri is now feeding the entire Island like Joseph did with his storehouses of grain. In another place a polluted water supply that had been polluted for over 4 decades was instantly made pure. Trees straightened up papaya and mango, grapefruit, coconut trees began to bear fruit. Even citrus 12 months out of the year the coral reefs were instantly healed and mangrove crabs began to walk up the beach to feed the people who had nothing. The President and the Prime Minister have turned to God, the present of the senate; the economy is beginning to rebound. I could go on and on and on but in December of this year we’ll release a l hour documentary of what God is doing in the nation. It’s now spreading to other neighboring island countries in the South Pacific. It’s absolutely so glorious I can’t begin to describe it on this program. The good news is it’s not limited to one place God is moving like this today all across the face of the earth. He wants to be invited into our communities that’s principal #1. He is drawn to holiness and humility like Winnie the Pooh is drawn to honey pots that’s principal #2. Corporate revival begins with individual’s obedience. We can get the ball rolling even if we don’t have critical mass and biblical unity attracts the presence of God. Then if just 2 or 3 people, that’s a biblical unity call upon the name of the Lord we then have a majority. Breakthrough prayers release destiny for cities and nations and people groups. The work of God in each place will always be unique so every story what God has done in each of these cities is different as snowflakes.

Sid: You know George I have to believe that when someone sees your video it gives them faith in the prayer just in their family.

George: Yes.

Sid: I mean, yes your after a transformation of a city, a state, a nation but there are people listening now that say “Sid I need a transformation in my family; my family is a mess.” And I believe when people see what’s happened in these entire cities that’s got to give them faith for their families.

George: I completely agree with you and the principals of transformation work at every level be it an individual level, a family level, a church level, a community level, region or a nation the principals are the same. God is the one that wants to be invited into His rightful place because He loves us and He wants to do good for us that’s what He tells us in His word. And He just doesn’t want to see us continuing to kick ourselves in the shin over and over and over again.

Sid: And you said one of the principals you talked about was you don’t need as we discussed in Cali, Columbia their first meeting 25,000, 2 people is a good way to start.

George: That’s absolutely true and we often think that the road to transformation begins like the start of the Boston Marathon with all of those 1000’s of people bunched up waiting for the starters gun to go off. But the first few laps on this road are taken in solitary where we get alone as individuals with God saying “God increase my appetite for those things that are proven to attract Your presence.” If we pray but we aren’t passionate or desperate in the place of prayer ask God to give you an increase appetite for prayer or humility. Humility to me is the single most important attractor in all of the universe to the presence of God. If we will humble ourselves, if we will become broken and contrite God will make a beeline to our address, to our doorstep.
