Called to Heal and Resurrect the Dead

00:00 it's my privilege to be with you this
00:03 morning and bring what God has shown me
00:06 this last week I always start with a
00:08 blank canvas saying what do you want God
00:11 and so let us pray as we begin father I
00:15 pray that as my words go out your words
00:20 go out of my mouth that they would not
00:22 return void but you would accomplish
00:26 what you please and that these words
00:31 Lord God would have an effect in the
00:34 lies and the hearts of people so that
00:37 they would be transformed by the very
00:40 power of your Holy Spirit and father I
00:44 ask for the range just like we've had
00:46 the natural rain I asked for the reign
00:48 of your Holy Spirit to come as is
00:50 prophesied over us years ago that your
00:55 rain would come in the way of healings
00:57 and miracles and signs and wonders in
01:00 our midst and I pray father that you
01:04 would grant us boldness to speak the
01:07 Word of God to say what you say and to
01:11 do what you have called us to do
01:13 especially in this area of healing amen
01:17 the title of my sermon this morning is
01:20 cold to heal and resurrect the dead it's
01:26 based on one primary scripture Matthew
01:29 10 8 heal the sick cleanse the lepers
01:33 raise the dead cast out demons freely
01:37 you have received freely give what would
01:42 it look like in your life and in the
01:45 life of our church if we began to
01:48 converse with God about Matthew 10 8
01:51 coming into communion with his heart so
01:56 that our hearts would be stirred to such
01:58 a point that we would want to walk out
02:01 Matthew 10 8 what would happen Diane she
02:08 wrote a song about what would happen
02:10 pastor Steve preached a sermon about
02:13 what would
02:13 happened from Jeremiah 33 last week and
02:17 we heard that a new voice would be heard
02:19 didn't we Jeremiah 33 11 says that we
02:24 would hear the voice of joy we would
02:27 hear the voice of gladness we would hear
02:30 the voice of the bridegroom and the
02:32 broth and the bride and we would hear
02:34 the voice of those who will say what
02:37 praise the Lord for he is good at his
02:42 mercy endures forever and then we would
02:46 begin to hear the voice of those who
02:48 will bring the sacrifice of praise into
02:51 the house of God because they had yet to
02:53 experience his power in that way and in
02:57 their praise they would see the very
03:00 power of God and most importantly what
03:02 would happen in our mist is that god's
03:05 name would be honored and glorified and
03:09 praised and people would be able to
03:11 encounter the real Jesus in our families
03:16 in our neighborhoods in our cities in
03:19 our nation one church I read about just
03:23 recently they wanted to see their church
03:26 Sunday School class go from 2500 people
03:30 to 5,000 so they made a commitment to
03:33 pray about it encouraged to pray on that
03:35 three times a day in fact they received
03:39 buttons that said I love 5,000 now if
03:44 they actually wore those buttons I love
03:46 5,000 I think that would keep the vision
03:49 before them and I think would make some
03:52 people little curious what do you mean
03:53 you love 5,000 right and that as they
03:58 pray the Isle of 5,000 became their
04:03 reality it became the very answer to
04:09 their prayers what would happen in our
04:13 midst if we took Matthew 10 a cleanse
04:18 leper heal the sick cast out demons
04:21 raise the dead we wrote that out on
04:25 three by five cars
04:27 in that order we can bite in any order
04:30 but we would write it out on
04:31 three-by-five cards and place it in
04:33 strategic places like that mirror in our
04:37 bathroom the dashboard of our car on you
04:41 know the cubicle in our workplace and
04:43 then what would happen if we began to
04:45 reframe or thinking about this verse
04:48 saying i love to heal the sick i love to
04:54 cast out demons i love to resurrect the
04:58 dad i love to deliver those from demons
05:05 you know what as we began to say that a
05:08 little war might be going on a war
05:11 between our flesh and our spirit our
05:14 flesh would say i don't love that in
05:17 fact i don't know if i want to love that
05:19 and the Spirit of God says that's what I
05:22 love and don't we wanna begin to love
05:27 what God loves amen if we would let God
05:37 know that we are a yielded vessel he
05:40 would bring people into our lives and
05:43 across our path just what were like
05:46 we're going to see in a movie clip from
05:48 90 minutes in heaven I just watched it
05:51 for the first time right after Christmas
05:54 with my family and in this show there's
05:59 a man it's based on a true story a
06:02 pastor Don Piper and he's in a car
06:05 accident and it's a fatal car accident
06:08 and he dies and there's a man few cars
06:12 down that sees the car accident and he
06:16 hears the voice of the Lord say to him
06:19 go pray for that man in the red car I
06:23 want you and I to use our godly
06:27 imagination this morning and place our
06:30 self in the position of this man that
06:34 has been a witness to what has just
06:37 happened or just arrived on the scene
06:39 and you here
06:40 to the Lord tell you to go pray for that
06:42 person in that red car now I have to
06:47 reframe your thinking when I talk about
06:49 the Lord saying I'm not talking about
06:51 the Honorable voice of the Lord because
06:53 none of us would ever do what God has
06:55 called us to do for waiting for the
06:57 audible voice of God right I'm talking
06:59 about that subtle nudge that literally
07:02 impression that little inner voice that
07:05 little reminder maybe about Matthew 10 8
07:09 where God tells us to go do it amen so
07:13 Kim if you could actually put that up on
07:16 the screen and we'll watch it's just a
07:17 two and a half movie clip I was the
07:28 father of three children
07:31 husband of a wonderful wife
07:35 man with a great future
07:38 on January eighteen nineteen eighty-nine
07:41 I died when I woke up I was in heaven
07:53 the man in the red Ford is deceased I
07:57 like to pray for him
08:07 we've heard Don's car was wrecked by an
08:10 18
08:11 her husband is very badly injured we are
08:14 doing everything we can to save him I'm
08:16 so scared God please help us it's gonna
08:20 be tough but I need you now
08:23 I follow I can read in time
08:27 you got all these people who care so
08:29 much for you and you have no idea how
08:31 much they look we're gonna pray all
08:34 night for you we're taking over from
08:36 here
08:41 I have denied them the blessing of care
08:44 you around
08:51 amidst all the suffering I've learned
08:53 have
08:54 is real
09:02 you prayed I'm here
09:09 it takes ball nuff to do what God has
09:12 called us to do amen it takes a lot of
09:15 boldness to step out and to actually go
09:19 pray for somebody who is dead Peter and
09:23 John faced a similar situation and they
09:26 called their prayer group and they
09:28 prayed this prayer in acts 4 29 through
09:31 30 Lord look on their threats you know
09:35 the threats don't just come from
09:36 external threats a lot of threats come
09:38 from the inside from your flesh itself
09:40 and they pray Lord look on their threats
09:46 and grant to your servants that we would
09:48 speak your word with all boldness by you
09:53 stretching out your hand to heal and
09:55 that signs and wonders and miracles
09:58 would be done in our mist through the
10:00 name of your holy servant Jesus we need
10:04 to be praying for boldness pastor Steve
10:08 read this passage from Jeremiah 33 6
10:12 behold I will bring it health and
10:15 healing I won't heal them and reveal to
10:18 them the abundance of peace and truth
10:20 and we all go yes I want that I want
10:22 that but did you know that God is
10:26 calling you and I to partner to bring
10:29 health and healing to those in need he
10:34 has called us to partner with him to
10:37 release the resurrection power of Jesus
10:41 Christ through what through our simple
10:44 little prayers are simple little words
10:46 and our simple little actions that seem
10:49 so in adequate but they're in accordance
10:53 to his word and his will for our lives
10:56 we have to do this in the midst of our
11:01 own defeats in our failures and in the
11:04 midst of what looks like impossible
11:07 situations just like you just saw and if
11:10 we don't do it you know what people will
11:13 not be saved in the full of sense so so
11:16 the Greek word means healing hold us
11:20 deliverance
11:22 if you could come up and prepare to
11:24 share your testimony when I began the
11:31 healing rooms ministry I shared a
11:34 testimony about dr. chancy Crandall who
11:37 had raised somebody from the dead he was
11:39 a cardiologist he had just pronounced
11:42 somebody that did after this man had
11:45 been dead for 40 minutes and they could
11:47 not do anything this takes place in the
11:49 United States in Florida when I shared
11:52 this testimony about him raising the
11:56 person from the dead and you know what
11:57 he did he did like that guy in the film
12:00 that we just watched he had just a
12:03 strong impression as he walked out of
12:06 that emergency room for that he had this
12:09 impression that God wanted him to turn
12:11 around and to go pray for that dead man
12:14 well he's dead he prays a simple prayer
12:18 and the man is raised from the dead
12:20 somebody in the audience when I shared
12:22 this around 2006 they didn't believe the
12:26 story or wanted it confirmed so they
12:28 called his office and they found out
12:30 that it was a medically documented
12:33 miracle and as I was preparing for this
12:36 he has written a book and I highly
12:38 encourage you if you want to start
12:39 walking in Matthew 1080 to read his book
12:42 called raise the dead because he shares
12:45 how he goes from basically unbelief to
12:49 doing what he is doing today since I
12:52 have begun the healing rooms I've
12:54 encountered two people that have been
12:55 raised from the dead one when we were
12:57 doing the street fair he was actually in
13:00 a morgue in a local hospital here with
13:03 the toe tag on I heard this from his
13:06 mouth he was unsafe people prayed for
13:09 him and he actually came back to life in
13:13 the more no one praying for him there
13:15 and the more and started to move and
13:18 someone notices they came into the more
13:20 the other person was just this past
13:22 summer and I feel God is highlighting to
13:25 me that we need to take Matthew 10-8 of
13:28 raising the dead seriously Valerie if
13:30 you could share a minute or two just on
13:33 your testimony when I was
13:35 being to prepare for this on Friday this
13:38 talk I was wanting to click on past
13:40 receive the notes that I took last week
13:42 and as I clicked on it what i thought
13:45 was last week's sermon i clicked on
13:47 februari 15 2015 and at the top is this
13:52 testimony and belarus going my brother
13:56 was raised from the dead and i'm typing
13:58 it doubly hat this is a god thing hey
14:02 Scott it's not okay so um when sue asked
14:07 me to go over this when you relive
14:09 something like that I mean it just pours
14:11 out and I might I'm gonna try and get
14:13 through i'm just gonna hit bullet points
14:14 of what happened to my brother my one
14:17 and only brother last year and he was
14:21 conducting a meeting in front of his
14:23 employs a staff meeting and he had what
14:27 the doctors called a drop dead heart
14:30 attack and he just dropped it in front
14:34 of the employees hit his head and they
14:38 tried to revive him couldn't do it the
14:40 paramedics came they called my
14:42 sister-in-law she called me on the phone
14:44 and she said valor and she's crying she
14:46 said they said that he died right and
14:50 during the staff meeting and she's
14:51 trying to get in her car to get to where
14:54 he's at and I said you know when she
14:56 first said it I said no that can't be
14:58 you know that's not right and so I said
15:01 we're going to pray we don't accept that
15:03 we don't accept what they're saying and
15:05 so I told her get in the car call me
15:07 when you get there she got to the
15:09 hospital and there was no brain activity
15:12 and they didn't know how long he had
15:15 been like that without oxygen to his
15:17 brain and so the they had different
15:20 doctors coming in they transported him
15:22 to another hospital and the he was in
15:26 with no brain activity for about two
15:29 days and what they did got favors like
15:33 this the the chief of the hospital where
15:35 they took him said well we're going to
15:37 try this chiral therapy so what they did
15:40 this they dropped my brother's body
15:42 temperature really really low
15:45 and he was kept in this comatose state
15:48 so he wouldn't his body wouldn't go into
15:50 shock and they said we're going to see
15:51 what happens in 24 hours when I bring
15:53 the temperature back up and they did
15:57 that so on the third day they're
16:00 bringing his body temperature back up
16:02 there was no brain activity my
16:05 sister-in-law she hasn't on their phone
16:06 and she says you know the neural
16:08 neurologist didn't think it's good
16:10 there's nothing going on there's no
16:12 activity so she put the phone near his
16:15 ear so he could hear me and we just
16:17 prayed and I said no this is not
16:19 happening you know I won't go into all
16:21 of that we prayed but after she removed
16:24 the phone from his ear he opened his
16:26 eyes and she's screaming and calling the
16:30 doctors come back and her come back in
16:32 here he opened his eyes he opened his
16:36 eyes and they had all these tubes in
16:38 here because they were keeping him
16:40 breathing and functioning by machine and
16:42 she said he'd squeeze her hand and just
16:45 praise went up that was on the third day
16:47 and then long story short they they did
16:51 an surgery to put a pacemaker
16:53 defibrillator in his heart they didn't
16:56 know if he's going to make it through
16:57 the surgery he made it through the
16:58 surgery fine he got up he was on in a
17:02 wheelchair and she was sending me
17:04 pictures of what's happening to him and
17:06 each picture I would pray over it on my
17:08 phone we pray together they took said he
17:11 was going to go to this rehab center
17:13 just fast forwarding and they said he's
17:16 going to need to be in there two weeks
17:18 three weeks in order to rehabilitate
17:20 because there was no speech his
17:22 cognitive ability was not there and his
17:25 physical ability was not there and so
17:27 they say is going to be at least three
17:28 weeks here and my brother when they
17:31 heard that he held up three fingers and
17:34 my sister-in-law said he keeps you know
17:37 he doesn't win except it's gonna be
17:38 three weeks for him to bounce back and I
17:40 said well we're just going to claim with
17:41 him three days he's gonna be back in
17:43 three days he gets to that rehab center
17:47 and I flew out there on the second day
17:51 he's already speaking he's already
17:54 walking around with the physical
17:56 therapist he's already being able to
17:58 write
17:59 down the third day they released him he
18:05 has had full recovery he's back in his
18:08 position at his job cognitive ability is
18:12 all there his speech his physical
18:14 ability is out there and we give God the
18:15 praise that was just like we saw with
18:27 Don Piper right in our church right what
18:33 would have happened if there was
18:35 hesitation or procrastination to do what
18:38 God has called us to do in Matthew 10 8
18:41 I tell you the dawn Piper's bellary
18:45 brothers they would not be alive I was
18:53 struck by this message in Luke 957
18:56 through 62 some friends and I were
18:59 watching a live broadcast this past New
19:02 Year's Eve three men come up to Jesus
19:08 and Jesus says follow me do you know
19:13 Jesus wants us to follow him every day
19:15 of our life and these guys came up with
19:21 excuses and they did not follow him I
19:25 said to the Lord after watching that I
19:30 know those excuses of hesitation and
19:33 procrastination negotiation all these
19:36 things and you know them too in your
19:38 life and they seem very valid but I said
19:40 to the Lord that night I want to be a
19:42 yielded vessel this year I want to say
19:45 what you say and do what you've called
19:48 me to do how about you to cullman
19:53 excuses that I here in the body of
19:55 crisis when it comes to doing Matthew 10
19:59 a it's not my calling in our church you
20:03 would think it's Suze calling Shirley
20:07 and Steve Kwan's calling Larry big man's
20:09 calling outside the church Oh
20:11 to Randy Clark's calling Reinhardt
20:13 Bonnke is calling but it's not my
20:16 calling I've used that excuse when it
20:19 came to prophecy and then a profit in
20:25 2010 comes to me didn't know the secrets
20:28 of my heart that was telling god it's
20:30 not my calling and he's the Prophet says
20:34 to be regarding prophecy he says you're
20:36 telling God that this is not your
20:38 calling but God says to you that is who
20:43 I am in you it's the tempter that's
20:47 trying to make you believe that that's
20:50 not what he's called you to do so i did
20:53 it with knees trembling did it in front
20:58 of a church in san francisco after lord
21:01 that morning on the Sunday morning I
21:03 says what would you say to that church i
21:05 had my sermon prepared Lord gave me a
21:08 Bible verse i said lord that's my
21:12 favorite one or one of my favorites i
21:15 have lots of favorites i argue with the
21:18 Lord he told me what he wanted to say to
21:20 the church through that bible verse i
21:22 gave it pastor came right up before i
21:24 even got to say anything else and he
21:26 says church what are we standing on and
21:29 it was that Bible verse so as you do
21:32 these things and you're unsure of
21:36 yourself give it a try the other thing
21:40 is that I here's an excuse is it doesn't
21:44 work Matthew 10 8 doesn't work I've
21:47 tried it it doesn't work I understand
21:50 that one too but in the healing ministry
21:53 now nine years I've seen more people die
21:57 than i ever have before in my life and
22:01 that's because I've chosen to pray for
22:04 more sick and dying people than I ever
22:07 have in my entire life and the
22:11 temperature wants to tempt me to quit
22:14 but I have to strengthen myself in the
22:17 Lord strengthen myself and what God has
22:21 said to me
22:23 strengthen myself through prayer
22:26 strengthen myself by saying what he
22:28 tells me to say another way I strengthen
22:32 myself history testimonies and this last
22:34 year's I was looking over them want to
22:36 share with you two testimonies this lady
22:39 comes in and she's been in back pain for
22:42 15 years had surgery and it did not help
22:46 she drives from Baker field she's a
22:48 grandmother her family brings her over
22:51 here she gets pray all her pain goes
22:53 away they you should have seen their
22:57 faces I just remember it was just like
22:59 Valerie's faces when she said my
23:01 brothers alive on that you know februari
23:03 15th and if you can see that joy the
23:07 voice of joy the voice of gladness it's
23:10 all worth it you guys and the other
23:13 testimony is this lady bringing her baby
23:15 into her healing rooms and I wanting to
23:17 go pray before our healing room started
23:19 she goes can I tell you something and
23:20 they're going oh yeah and she says I
23:22 came in here a few years ago I couldn't
23:25 get pregnant you guys prayed and you
23:29 told me when I get pregnant to bring
23:33 back my child and here's my child amen
23:41 the drought in California and the recent
23:46 rain is a prophetic picture of what God
23:49 is doing in this hour in relationship to
23:53 Matthew 10 8 just like people in our
24:00 neighborhoods I know here in Southern
24:03 California they're doing all kinds of
24:06 things to keep their landscape looking
24:09 green some people are doing what i call
24:13 the spray paint green where they just
24:16 you know put some junk on it that looks
24:17 makes it look greener and other people
24:21 are taking and they're ripping out their
24:25 grass and they're laying down the cement
24:28 and they're putting that fake grass over
24:30 the top of it
24:35 very similar to what happened and has
24:38 been happening in the body of Christ as
24:41 it relates to expressing what the
24:45 kingdom of God really looks like you
24:49 know that it's easier to take care of
24:52 fake grass then trying to help grass
24:59 grow some people don't even want to
25:04 bother with making their landscape even
25:06 a peer greed have you seen those signs
25:13 Brown is the new green thumb some people
25:19 have just accepted the fact that brown
25:21 is their new green in their area of
25:23 health because they haven't seen the
25:26 real thing where have you accepted Brown
25:31 is the new green in your life and the
25:35 air of your health the area of your
25:37 finances in the area of your
25:40 relationship the God is telling us he
25:44 wants to awaken us out of this drought
25:47 mindset he says in Colossians through
25:50 three to set your mind on the things
25:53 above did you know that the things above
25:57 and the kingdom of God are green it's
26:02 never changed color because God never
26:05 changes he is the same yesterday and
26:08 today and forever John when he set his
26:13 mind on the kingdom above I'm talking
26:16 about the Apostle John revelations 20 21
26:19 he saw the answer to all of man's
26:22 drought he saw the answer to your
26:25 drought in your life he saw that pure
26:29 river of water of life coming down from
26:34 the throne of God and from the lamb
26:38 Ezekiel saw the same river and describes
26:42 it in more fullness and God says to him
26:46 every living thing wherever the river
26:49 goes we'll watch it will live the source
26:57 the very source of our drought is God
27:02 himself he is the river of life and he
27:08 wants to flow in your heart and in your
27:12 life to end the drought that you have
27:17 been experiencing and he wants you to
27:21 lao from his sanctuary that river to
27:25 flow into your life and through your
27:32 life so that you will do what John 838
27:37 says he who believes in me as the
27:41 Scriptures has said out of his heart
27:45 will flow rivers of living water there
27:52 is no drought in the kingdom of God
27:55 there is they river of life and in order
27:59 for to see that river flow into our life
28:03 we to heed the instructions that God
28:07 gave to Jeremiah and Jeremiah 33 3 he
28:12 says call to me and I will answer you
28:16 and I will show you the great and mighty
28:18 things he will show us what the very
28:21 source of the River of Life Jesus who is
28:25 the real thing there's two parts
28:32 Jeremiah 33 3 is the essence of what
28:35 prayer looks like cold to me that's our
28:39 part and I will answer you and show you
28:43 great and mighty things that is God's
28:46 part so often we want to talk to God and
28:51 not spend the time to listen allow him
28:56 to show us what He desires
28:59 to show us he has shown us things
29:05 through the Word of God that we need to
29:07 meditate on that we need to think on I
29:13 love God's answers to Jeremiah when he
29:16 showed him the great and mighty things
29:18 God knew that Jeremiah and he needed it
29:21 answer far beyond what Jeremih could
29:24 ever think or imagine so God opened up
29:29 Jeremiah's eyes of understanding just
29:33 like he needs to open up your eyes and
29:35 my eyes to the things that are above you
29:39 know what God showed him he showed him
29:43 Jesus the real thing why do I say that
29:49 because when Jesus answers him and does
29:53 those statements I will bring it health
29:56 and healing I will bring them the
30:02 abundance of peace and truth I will set
30:05 the captives free I will pardon their
30:08 iniquity when he says all those I will
30:11 statements it's based on the foundations
30:14 of the cross of what Jesus Christ would
30:17 make available to all of us through the
30:20 cross amen these are the same things
30:24 that Isaiah saw as and we see this in
30:26 Isaiah 53 where he prophetic he declares
30:30 what Jesus would do on the cross these
30:33 are the things that King David saw and
30:35 we see this in Psalm 103 as king david
30:39 prophetically declares what Jesus would
30:42 do for us on the cross and these are the
30:44 things that we need to see if we are
30:48 going to do the work of Jesus Christ if
30:53 we're going to do Matthew 10 8 we need
30:56 to see the real Jesus we need to see the
31:03 very love of our Father that he has
31:08 provided for us through the work
31:10 of the cross we need to see the great
31:15 and wonderful thing that God has done
31:18 for us and we need to have our hearts
31:20 rooted and grounded in this love the
31:24 love of what he has done for us because
31:27 it's only from this place that we're
31:29 going to be able to do James 515 to pray
31:33 that prayer of faith Jesus instructs us
31:39 in Mark 11 22 through 24 he instructs us
31:45 how to pray the prayer of faith he says
31:53 to us assuredly I say to you whoever
31:57 says to this mountain be removed and
32:01 cast into the sea and does not doubt in
32:04 his heart but believes in the things
32:07 that he says he shall have whatever he
32:13 says therefore I say to you whatever
32:19 whatever whatever you ask in prayer
32:25 believe that you received them and you
32:32 will have you know what the hardest part
32:36 about moving a mountain is speaking to
32:41 it speaking of to it in the first place
32:45 saying what God says and not what the
32:50 circumstances are saying to you and then
32:55 when you don't see with your natural
32:57 eyes that mountain budgie you need
33:01 boldness to continue to say what God has
33:07 said to that mountain and tell you see
33:11 that impossible situation move out of
33:14 the way and become a plane in your life
33:18 that's what Valerie did she not only
33:21 pray for her brother once
33:22 her family and her loved ones they
33:25 prayed him all the way to the fullness
33:28 of health so he could experience the
33:32 abundance of peace and truth that is in
33:35 Jesus Christ there's two testimonies
33:38 that I'm going to end with that
33:41 demonstrate speaking and saying to the
33:45 mountain gainer if you could come up I
33:56 have a testimony that happened to our
33:59 family three years ago on December 24th
34:05 Christmas Eve our youngest daughter
34:07 Christina called and said mom I'm
34:10 pregnant now you say to me what is that
34:13 so great about while Christina was told
34:16 that she would never have children and
34:18 now she's pregnant so we're really
34:21 excited a month later January 18th I
34:27 received a phone call mom I'm in the
34:30 hospital I'm losing the baby christina
34:36 was four and a half months pregnant and
34:41 she was scared and I gotta tell you I am
34:44 my face was like this big I couldn't get
34:49 in touch with anybody that I needed to
34:51 you know share with Kim was working a
34:53 job that I could not contact him and
34:55 tell him you know this is going on so I
34:58 did the next best thing I call pastor
35:00 Steve and I said our daughters in
35:04 trouble we need help and he prayed with
35:08 me on the phone and he said something to
35:10 me that snapped my spirit back into
35:12 place don't let your faith waiver and I
35:18 didn't I called all the intercessors I
35:22 call the prayer chain I call people that
35:24 I trusted to pray for our daughter that
35:28 this baby would live and not die so
35:35 Christina try
35:36 for eight days to hold this baby inside
35:38 of her she was born on january twenty
35:43 fourth one pound ten ounces 12 inches
35:47 long Christina said mom the doctor said
35:51 grace isn't going to live I said wait a
35:54 minute no my god says he breathes life
35:58 and told to those that need it that need
36:02 the life flowing blood of the Lord Jesus
36:05 Christ Kim this is Grace when she was
36:10 born at one pound ten ounces and that's
36:15 hurt Christina holding her see how
36:17 little she is tiny tiny not even the
36:20 size of the palm of your hand the
36:24 doctors kept giving reports they kept
36:26 saying Grace's heart will never grow
36:29 it'll never beat strongly like every
36:31 child Grace's lungs will never develop
36:34 Grace's eyes will never see she'll be
36:37 blind because of the oxygen that we're
36:39 giving her Grace's kidneys will continue
36:43 to fail and through this whole time I'm
36:46 saying no God says he breathes life God
36:51 says he makes the bones strong God says
36:56 it's his job and I step back and I said
37:00 God you said and so I'm expecting
37:05 finally we had to turn around after
37:08 months of praying and continuing to
37:10 bright bright lights are two contending
37:14 to bring the bright light shining into
37:15 the darkness baby grace is starting to
37:18 thrive her lungs are starting to develop
37:20 her heart starts getting stronger than
37:23 another report her kidneys are failing
37:26 no back to our kidneys healed another
37:30 report at a month she's to be four she's
37:33 to be released they say she's blind man
37:37 about this time I'm getting I'm getting
37:39 excited to see what galore is going to
37:41 do next I knew he was just about another
37:44 mountain to take I knew that God was
37:46 going to do something marvelous grace
37:49 was taken to the
37:50 hospital in ann arbor michigan which was
37:53 939 miles from where Christina lived and
37:56 they wouldn't allow Christina to go with
37:58 him so we prayed together three or four
38:01 times a day then report oops we made a
38:07 mistake grace is not blind she's perfect
38:10 back to Marquette where Christina lived
38:14 lives still grace stayed until May 6
38:18 which was her birth date as she was and
38:22 then she was released to Christina a
38:24 perfect happy beautiful baby girl the
38:28 doctors can understand why she's
38:30 thriving and not having so many eight
38:33 major issues as as other premature
38:36 babies do Christina tells them the Lord
38:39 healed my baby just before Thanksgiving
38:42 this year christina was given another
38:44 bad report grace was having some mental
38:47 difficulties so back to war I crafted a
38:52 sozo prayer from some other prayers that
38:56 were available and I told Christina
38:58 we're going to pray this together and
39:00 when you're done you're going to go in
39:02 and you're going to lay hands on Grace's
39:04 head the next day grace had an amazing
39:08 deliverance and was completely healed
39:10 the doctors were are baffled when
39:13 Christina told them my mom and I prayed
39:16 and God healed grace what's so hard
39:19 about that to understand it may seem to
39:23 you working at those it may seem hard to
39:28 you to work at those mountains at times
39:31 with a chisel and a hammer but don't
39:34 give up stand firm and remove those
39:36 mountains this is grace today
39:47 come on you guys can do better than now
39:51 praise You Lord
39:55 he is good his mercy endures forever
40:00 her pastor Steve would you allow me just
40:04 to tell one more testimony I want to end
40:08 with this testimony my husband and I
40:11 were in Germany on a business trip and
40:14 we're on our first organized excursion
40:18 and i'm outside the city of hamburg and
40:20 we're supposed to see these lovely
40:22 sights on the river this lady and I on
40:24 the boat have eye contact with one
40:27 another and I go over to her and I
40:29 introduce myself her name's Linda found
40:34 out she raised her husband from the dead
40:42 for the next I don't know if was our I
40:45 get to hear the testimony know that God
40:48 had done in her life as she spoke to the
40:51 mountain just like Gaynor where the
40:53 mountain starts speaking back this is
40:55 going to be wrong that's going to be
40:56 wrong and she kept speaking speaking and
41:00 then my husband I were able to go out to
41:04 dinner with both of them Leon and Linda
41:09 and then we got to hear his perspective
41:11 of going to heaven during that time so i
41:15 went ahead an email them and you have
41:17 the privilege of hearing their testimony
41:20 i tried to condense it so here it goes
41:23 you guys leon and linda his wife were
41:29 participate in a church fast for an
41:31 upcoming conference in their church when
41:34 he died and went to heaven it was
41:36 Saturday in August 14 2010 when it
41:39 happened they were moving their son
41:40 Tyler into an apartment Leon and his son
41:43 had just finished carrying a washer and
41:45 dryer up several flights of stairs when
41:48 he experienced sudden in digestion Leon
41:51 States my wife Linda who is a cardiac
41:54 intensive-care trained nurse immediately
41:57 tells me you are having a heart attack
41:59 to which I responded and I want you to
42:02 take now let's take note of how many
42:04 times he says what God says over his
42:07 life he says this I am not having a
42:10 heart attack and I breathe
42:12 look fat in the name of Jesus you see at
42:16 my church we had been taught to watch
42:18 our confession so it's just a point
42:20 about what my wife was saying about me
42:23 but in fact I was having a heart attack
42:27 but now it was obvious he was showing
42:29 the signs of a heart attack and Leon
42:32 said I had been ministering at my sister
42:34 church and in my community about the
42:36 power of the loved ones prayer language
42:38 so when my wife told me I was having a
42:41 heart attack for the second time I
42:42 became really upset and I said to her I
42:45 am not having a heart attack I am going
42:48 to live and not die lien walked down the
42:52 two flights of stairs and open the door
42:54 the driver side of his truck when he
42:57 dropped to the pavement and became
43:00 unresponsive his wife you remember I
43:03 just told you she's a cardiac care nurse
43:06 she saw his face turned blue she found
43:09 no pulse and no breathing she shouted
43:12 call 91 911 oh my God my daddy is dead
43:19 despite all of her training she felt she
43:23 had a decision to make at that point in
43:24 time either let God be in control or for
43:30 her to take control and for what that
43:32 meant for her at that point in time she
43:34 made a decision and I'm not telling you
43:36 this is what you make this is how God
43:38 impressed her that she was not to do CPR
43:41 in him she says god this is your problem
43:44 you fix it a crowd begins to form around
43:49 them Linda said to their son Tyler if
43:51 you remember your prayer language get
43:54 into it otherwise you need a move away
43:56 because we are in a spiritual warfare at
44:00 that time an intoxicated man came over
44:03 to offer his sympathy Linda his wife
44:05 responded that he could help by coming
44:07 in and greement with her in her son the
44:10 man replied I remember my grandmother
44:13 praying that strange language that you
44:16 are speaking and I remember all I needed
44:18 to do was come in an agreement with her
44:20 by saying amen so Leon states picture
44:24 this my wife and my son in there
44:25 prayer language in an intoxicated man
44:27 standing in agreement God will use those
44:32 who are willing while his wife and his
44:34 son arted spiritual warfare working to
44:37 bring his life back to LeAnn's body
44:39 through prayer leann his hat leon is
44:42 having an encounter with the Lord in
44:44 heaven God is about a foot away from him
44:46 Kevin and listen to what God says it's
44:48 kind of like this Jeremiah 33 the hell
44:50 pastor she brought it out last week he
44:52 says God says to him you are not having
44:54 a heart attack you're going to live and
44:57 not die Wow when the ambulance dark
45:04 driver arrives he can't figure out
45:06 widely on which report is dead on the
45:07 ground and not breathing as Leon is put
45:10 in the back of the andis his wife has
45:12 put in the front of the ambulance with a
45:14 sliding window dividing them lien was
45:16 speaking in his prayer language it and I
45:18 in recounted her story it's not in his
45:20 testimony when she told me she was in
45:22 her prayer language in the front of the
45:23 car every time he stopped his prayer
45:27 language this is what happened that the
45:30 EKG line would go flat so she had he
45:34 encouraged him to continue in his prayer
45:36 language he says this the more I spoke
45:39 in my prayer language the stronger my
45:40 heart rhythm became on the heart monitor
45:42 his wife had to constantly encourage him
45:45 to keep speaking in his prayer language
45:47 when they got to the hospital the doctor
45:49 just happened to arrive in time and says
45:52 to Leon's wife Linda mrs. troutman I've
45:55 heard a lot about you to which he
45:58 responded let's see if you've done
46:00 everything right what does he meaning
46:02 according to you know doing CPR right
46:04 she did everything right in the eyes of
46:06 God and he said um we need to get your
46:13 husband to the procedure room staff and
46:15 by the way do you want a job as lien
46:17 goes into the procedure room his wife
46:19 and a son continuing their prayer line
46:20 let Leon continues as they paid a short
46:23 time passage you can see the doctor
46:24 walking a very fast pace to to her with
46:27 excitement on his face he was so excited
46:29 that he confused he already the x-rays
46:31 that he wanted to show them he showed
46:35 her the after pictures first and then
46:37 they'd be four pitchers then he
46:39 mrs. Chapman this is a miracle he's
46:42 looking at the x-rays before and after
46:44 your husband was a walking dead man
46:47 there was no blood circulating in his
46:51 body and we do not know how he was
46:54 walking around like this in fact he said
46:57 with this much blockage to the left
47:00 circumflex main artery he should have
47:03 had heart damage he also said that your
47:06 husband heart is the healthiest heart
47:08 I've ever seen I checked out his heart
47:15 and there's no damage to his heart in
47:17 fact I am not sure how I'm going to
47:19 write this one up he said he just had to
47:24 put a stent in and he's fine and it's a
47:26 miracle God has called you and I to
47:32 speak to our mountains if we put God's
47:35 Word in our mouth and say what are you
47:37 saying the Holy Spirit will release the
