At 86, Sid Roth Says His Greatest Assignment Is Still Ahead

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.599
Was afraid to go to sleep for fear my spirit would go for a walk somewhere.
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.599
And so I but finally we it's just a human body we have.
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.199
I had to I was totally exhausted.
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:24.160
I went to sleep, and the next morning, the last thing I would have ever expected happened to me.
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:34.880
I woke up, and I didn't have words to explain like I have today, but I was in the presence of the glory of God.
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.439
Every cell in my body felt alive.
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.840
When I woke up in that glory, I heard the audible voice of God for the first time in my life.
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.240
And this is what God said.
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.119
I hate divorce.
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.840
And then he added his own words.
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.679
He said, return to your wife and daughter.
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:58.479
Wow.
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.479
And what I said, I went from death to life.
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.239
I said, Yes, sir.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.120
I want to go back to that death again.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.480
And God restores my a woman by the name of Catherine Goleman.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:18.400
I thought you that article and booked me to do two television.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.519
Still hadn't read the whole New Testament.
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.239
To do two television shows on national TV.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.359
And it wasn't like today where they have Christian networks and things like that.
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.079
There were just a few Christian shows.
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:43.040
Somebody with a name like Catherine Kuhn and a man with a name like Sid Raw.
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:54.799
When I met her, I went up to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, went into her office, and this is what she said to me.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:10.560
Thank you.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.039
Welcome to L World, Sid, where it's naturally supernatural.
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:20.159
We uh we're so excited.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.439
We're unbelievably excited and honored to have you on today.
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:23.759
Yeah.
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.759
And um just to hear your story.
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:33.439
And uh I I want to just indulge ourselves just for one quick moment because this is such an incredible full circle moment for us.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:42.240
And I don't know if you ever know this story, but one year before the pineapple revival broke out, we were going through a very difficult season.
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:54.240
And I said to Jody, you know, maybe what we're going through right now will one day be in reenactment on a Sidroth episode, and this will be the before story, before the breakthrough comes.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.960
And then a year later, the revival breaks out.
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:05.439
Two years after that, we are sitting on the set with you on It's Supernatural, and you lean across the table and you said, Tell me about the pineapple revival.
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.240
But why was it called the pineapple revival?
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.879
Well, it took place in a tourist attraction in Australia called the Big Pineapple.
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.400
And I had what was almost like an out-of-body experience where I was looking at myself.
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:19.840
I didn't literally have one.
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:25.840
I know you have plenty of guests that have that, but but I I had a moment where it's like, God, how did you do this?
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:26.879
How did you do this?
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.479
We were dead in the water, and yet here we are sitting with Sid Roth.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:37.120
And so, you know, you've had a massive impact in our lives, and we're very grateful for the impact you've had on literally millions around the world.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.560
So thank you for being with us today.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.319
We're very honored.
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:49.759
Well, Ben and Jody, I have to tell you, I have never heard of a pineapple revival my whole life.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.919
And after I interviewed you, I still never heard again of the pineapple revival.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.560
That was what attracted me towards you.
00:03:58.800 --> 00:03:59.360
The name.
00:03:59.439 --> 00:03:59.599
Yeah.
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.960
I mean, who has ever heard of a pineapple?
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.240
I mean a revival.
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:05.280
I mean, I just taste it.
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:06.080
Right.
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:07.520
And it wasn't SpongeBob.
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.319
Uh, you know, said it was just so amazing what God did.
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.360
And it's just such an incredible testimony that He can take what is dead, you know, and bring it to life.
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.360
And that's what revival is all about.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.480
And so we we're excited to have you on today.
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:39.040
You have a you have a book coming out, um, which is really your your story, and that that is called The Glory Story, and we're gonna get into that, but I want to start at the beginning, and we just want to start with the Sid Roth origin story, and uh, and just just tell us about you know your your BC.
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.720
When I I know that you had a lot of involvement with the New Age and things like that.
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:43.519
Tell us about that.
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:44.000
Yeah.
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:53.040
Well, actually, a lot of people are confused on that, so I'm gonna pick your show to explain what really occurred.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.240
We've got the exclusive.
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:54.560
Come on.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:05.519
Being Jewish and not a believer in the Messiah, uh, were like anyone, Jewish, Gentile, Muslim, you name it.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.519
Yeah, uh, I was always intrigued with the supernatural.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:17.920
I was born wired to be intrigued, but I was misdirected.
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:42.480
Uh, and uh I believe I was marked for the supernatural even as a young child, although I had no understanding, but the only well, I did have an understanding, I knew about fortune telling, reading cards, Ouija boards, things like that.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:06:00.160
You see, I had no way of distinguishing between the God supernatural, the biblical supernatural, or the demonic supernatural, and it's a counterfeit.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:12.399
In other words, there is a supernatural that is not of God, that looks like God, and a lot of people are deceived.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.720
That's the whole purpose of it.
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:29.519
So in my life, I became for it was really only one year that I got really involved in the demonic supernatural.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.800
It wasn't a lifetime, although a lifetime I was intrigued with it.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:44.399
Uh, but I took I took a course, uh, a meditation course, and that's what opened me up to the demonic.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.079
And you know the amazing thing, remember, I said it's a counterfeit.
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.519
Yeah, these were good people saying you can only use this power for good.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.879
They were deceived.
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.800
You can use it for anything.
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:02.079
Yeah, um, and and uh, but I was only in it for a year.
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:08.720
But I'm so grateful, I don't recommend anyone get into it for this reason, but God used it.
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:14.079
Yes, because I was in it, I understand the counterfeit.
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.480
Uh yeah, you know what I'm reminded of?
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.120
I used to live in Washington, D.C.
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:26.800
Uh and there's the Treasury Department there where they print uh uh uh money.
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:36.160
Yes, uh and when they train the agents that work to find the counterfeit, they don't show them the counterfeit.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.600
This is amazing.
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.160
Yeah, they show them the authentic.
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:46.879
If you can understand the authentic, you will have discernment to know the counterfeit.
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:47.279
That's right.
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:53.279
But if you just know the counterfeit, you don't have your benchmark to compare it with anything.
00:07:53.600 --> 00:08:00.399
So I learned the counterfeit, and then I learned the authentic.
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:00.800
Yes.
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.199
And I and this will sound strange.
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.680
I just had my 86th birthday.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:08.560
No way.
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:14.319
Still, I still have not touched what I'm called to the kingdom for.
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:22.000
So I'm not thinking in terms of am I gonna die soon, which is people my age think in those terms.
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:22.639
Right.
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:29.519
As long as I haven't touched my destiny, no devil in hell can take me out until I do.
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.079
Come on.
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:30.959
Absolutely.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.320
I love that, Sid.
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.720
You know, we've always loved your hunger.
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.200
Yes.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.440
And this is another great example of it.
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.559
Your hunger is just contagious.
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:41.679
Yeah.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:48.159
And you know, it's got to be God uh because I've been in ministry over 50 years now.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.559
I'm celebrating next year my 50th.
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:50.720
Wow.
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.840
But I've been in ministry over 50 years right now.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.600
It's just the 50th of this, it's supernatural.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.279
But I was in ministry before I started It's Supernatural.
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:01.840
Yes.
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.879
Um and I have never, uh it's not feigned.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.720
I have never lost my excitement for when God shows up.
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.200
Yeah.
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:20.399
When God demonstrates that I there's there's nothing to compare to that.
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:32.720
Um in fact, um what I try to do is I I have stories in this uh book that uh I didn't have in my testimony book.
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:33.039
Right.
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:40.320
And now I'm remembering stories that I don't have in this book, and I don't have in my testimony book.
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:40.720
Right.
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.559
I may have to write a new book.
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:43.360
Come on.
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.240
You could call it the greater glory story.
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.679
Well, I'll tell you what, you and I are on the same page.
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:52.159
Yes.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.399
There is a glory of God.
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.279
He's the glory of God's always been with us.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:57.759
Yeah.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:04.799
But there is something that Haggai says about the glory covering the earth.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:10.159
And it and he actually uses the word greater.
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:10.559
Yes.
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:21.679
So that means there will be a glory that's gonna cover the earth that will be greater than anything God has ever released on planet Earth.
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.559
And I am so looking forward to it.
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:40.559
And there's been these little outbursts, a particular church, a particular uh uh uh block of homes or something, but nothing to compare to the greater glory covering this whole earth.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.960
When you think about this, what does it look like?
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.000
That's the next thing that's on the horizon.
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:46.480
Yes.
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.799
Yeah, when you think about that, what does it look like?
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.960
Well, I have to tell you, I have a very good imagination.
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.600
Come on.
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.840
Yes, and uh I call this because I've never seen it.
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.799
You're asking me to describe something I've never seen.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.480
Yeah, but I have a sanctified understanding of what's coming.
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:07.039
Yes.
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.759
Uh I I feel safe saying that.
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:10.240
Yes.
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:14.080
Uh and here's what I believe is going to happen.
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:20.159
When the glory saturates you, and I talk about that in this book.
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:20.399
Yeah.
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:31.279
When the glory saturates you, when when every cell in your body is alive with the life of God.
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:40.159
Now, you may have the Messiah inside of you, but I'm saying your whole body is going to be saturated with the glory.
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:45.519
And a lot of people need a definite biblical definition of the word glory.
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.519
So why don't we just start there?
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:47.840
Yeah.
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:59.440
There's a couple of words uh in in the uh Bible that in the original language, the Hebrew or the Greek, for glory.
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.960
But the main word, the one that I love, is kavod.
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.720
That's a Hebrew word.
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:12.559
And uh it was defined by Moses.
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:26.960
When Moses said to God, Show me your glory, God answered and gave a synonym to know what glory means.
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:34.159
And rather than saying, My glory is this or my glory is that, this was God's answer to Moses.
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:40.480
I will let my goodness be displayed before you.
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:48.639
So I see the word goodness as a great, as a God synonym for glory.
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:56.639
And I also this is the scenario, the sanctified scenario I put together of something I've not seen.
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:08.720
I've read about heaven in the book of Revelation, about the throne room in the book of Revelation, about God the Father sitting on his throne.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:16.320
And here's what I believe: there are angels all around the throne of God.
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:35.600
The glory, the goodness, the tangible, the visible, the these uh the one that you can smell the perfume of, all these senses are alive in the spirit.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:46.720
These angels that have been surrounding God for thousands of years are being released on planet Earth.
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:58.080
And when one of those or more of those angels show up at a place and they're invited, and they feel like they're invited, they hang around.
00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:58.960
Come on.
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:16.960
And uh we're coming to a point where uh uh they've been at certain churches, uh, Smithon, uh, Pensacola, Toronto, and many, many of our viewers know uh know these places.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.080
And they've lasted a few years.
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:26.000
Um, but there's something coming that is going to be greater than a place.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.840
That same glory, that same kabod is going to be in us.
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:38.639
Now at our studio, and I've had people tell me this, they feel the presence of God.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:46.159
At our prayer meetings, uh, we have Tuesday afternoons uh for our ministry.
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:49.039
They feel the presence of God.
00:14:49.360 --> 00:15:03.679
And I'll tell you something that I've noticed lately uh that's kind of giving me some insight, is uh the presence of God is like a symphony orchestra.
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.960
There's different instruments releasing the presence of God.
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:09.440
That's good.
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:16.960
There's one that's very hard-feeling, and I I call it the power presence of God.
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.200
It's there for the miraculous.
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:30.720
There's another that's so sweet, all you want to do is relax in it, but that whole symphony orchestra is coming to earth real soon.
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.279
Little little pieces, little instruments have come to earth now.
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:41.519
But that whole orchestra is coming to earth, and then this is what I see.
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:52.879
When that whole orchestra is performing for you, if you will, 24-7.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:58.799
While you sleep, the presence of God is saturating your body.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.840
While you're awake, the presence of God is saturated.
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:08.720
See, we've had these little bits, almost like advertisements, if you will, of what's coming.
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:08.960
Yes.
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.159
Coming attraction.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:10.960
Jesus.
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.679
But we're about ready to have the main attraction come to us.
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:22.799
You know, when I watch I I happen to a true confession, you're supposed to do that as a believer in the Messiah.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.639
Um I am I love news.
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:27.759
Yeah.
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.080
Uh I'm I'm I'm a news buff.
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.480
Right.
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:30.960
Yeah.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.840
And and and and I watch this all the time.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.159
And all I see is bad news.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:36.639
Yes.
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.600
I really, I don't see much good news.
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.159
Yeah.
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.279
I mean, it's I guess bad news selves.
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:44.240
I don't know.
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.279
But but that that's what the news site.
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.840
I am so glad I'm not a newsman.
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.159
Right.
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:54.879
I would be the most depressed of people if I was a news reporter.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:02.879
But but um we'll we're living in tough times for the world.
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:03.519
Yeah.
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:11.519
But I think this may be different than many of you feel, things aren't gonna get easier.
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.000
Yes.
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.160
I think things are gonna get tougher.
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:24.079
Yes, but I think the presence of God will be so increased for those that are hungering and thirsting.
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:28.079
As a matter of fact, there's a phrase that I hear a lot.
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.599
It hasn't quite hit yet, but it's going.
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:40.559
The first thing that's gonna hit, even before the glory, is the healthy fear of God.
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:41.519
Yeah.
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:47.279
And when that healthy, I'm not talking about oh God, I'm afraid to see you.
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:53.599
No, an embracing healthy fear of God is coming on the church.
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:58.640
And when that happens, it will not be church's normal.
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:03.039
There won't even be anything such as a secret sensitive church.
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:03.279
Right.
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:13.839
How could you be seer sensitive when you're filled with the presence of God Himself inside and outside in the atmosphere of the church?
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.880
You won't want, they're gonna have to push you out.
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:17.200
Yes.
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.680
You're not gonna want to leave that presence, but it it'll get better.
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.880
When they push you out, you're leaving with that presence.
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:28.240
It's not just in the church.
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:29.279
Amen to all of it.
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.160
It's gonna be 24-7.
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:40.960
And I see entire cities ablaze with the glory of God.
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.799
But I also see a great contrast.
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.920
I see the the good getting gooder and the bad getting badder.
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.559
Yes.
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.559
I see we haven't seen anything yet compared to what the devil's gonna do.
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:02.240
And for sure we haven't seen anything yet compared to what God is going to do.
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:03.359
And you know what?
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:08.319
Whatever the devil does, no weapon formed against us can prosper.
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.440
Will not just be a verse in the Bible to confess.
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.319
Yeah, it'll be actual reality.
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.160
Everything the devil throws will be like a boomerang.
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:27.119
And I feel sorry for the wishes or the people throwing what the devil wants to throw at us because it'll boomerang right back to them.
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:36.319
Yeah, and they're gonna come and running to you two and to me and to believers in the Messiah, saying, Help! I can't take that boomerang aboard.
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.000
I've been trying to put on you.
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.799
I love that you use boomerang, that's for sure.
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.079
You know, that's right.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.039
That's Australia.
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:43.599
Yes.
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.839
Come on, the boomerang.
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.759
I think we're totally on the same page.
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.799
I think things are gonna get darker, and we're certainly kind of on a on a trajectory like that.
00:19:52.960 --> 00:20:08.559
But I take great hope, like you, from that verse, that the knowledge, and that even that word knowledge, you know, it's it's like a gnosis, an intimate acquaintance, an intimate understanding and relationship with the glory of God shall cover the earth as the water covers the sea.
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:13.839
And so when people say, you know, we're as end time revival in the Bible, well, it's right there as far as I'm concerned.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.680
His glory being poured out.
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:23.920
And also, you know, all creation groans and waits for the revealing of the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God.
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:29.599
That and that's what you're talking about, us all coming into that fullness of what we're supposed to walk in and carry.
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.799
I love that.
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:31.599
I love that.
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:52.319
And I want to just tell people, you know, um, one of the things we love about you, Sid, is this joy and this hope that you carry and this childlike and and and I can confirm that even off-camera, you know, when we're just chatting with you and and being in your office and you're still after all of these years, do you know how many shows you've done?
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.759
Do you know, do you have an idea?
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.200
I I have no idea, but I will tell you this.
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:08.720
If we have another hundred, two hundred years, yeah, I believe I have enough archives to keep my show going till Jesus returns.
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:11.279
So I think you do.
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.279
So let's say at least at least thousands, maybe hundreds and hundreds of.
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:20.799
I mean, I used to do I used to do uh sometimes three shows a week.
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.200
Yeah.
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:21.519
Yeah.
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:22.319
Incredible.
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.720
And and uh I've got all these in in the archives.
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:27.680
It's amazing.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:34.799
So after all of these shows, how have you kept your sense of hunger and childlike wonder?
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:44.640
Because still you hear a story about a miracle or you hear a story about an angel showing up, and you've probably heard someone talk about that a thousand times, but you're still hungry and leaning in.
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.359
Yes.
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:51.200
I I I can't it you know, there's a wonderful word in the Bible.
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.759
Uh actually, it got me upset.
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:59.839
Sometimes they were teaching it in a false sense, but it's there's a true sense of the word grace.
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:02.480
It's just a gift from God.
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.119
And I'm very grateful for it.
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.000
He knew what I was going to do.
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.519
He knew that I needed that kind of grace.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:11.839
Yes.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.079
And he made sure I had that.
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:19.119
And as a matter of fact, the viewers right now, you operate in grace.
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:25.839
Many of you don't even know you're operating here, but you probably wouldn't be alive right now if you weren't operating in grace.
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:37.359
I know I wouldn't be alive right now, uh, physically, or I've had a couple of accidents where they uh where I should have never survived.
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:51.839
Uh I mean, the devil's tried to take me out, but if long as long as I'm obedient and doing what God wants me to do, no devil in hell can take me out until it's God's time.
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.079
And that's the comfort that I have.
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:58.799
And by the way, I don't want to be here a day after I'm supposed to leave.
00:22:59.039 --> 00:22:59.279
Right.
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:04.319
I believe that there is a book of life on everyone viewing right now.
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:04.480
Yeah.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:06.079
The three of us.
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.200
And in this book of life, there's a list of things you're supposed to do.
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.200
And I believe God has it all under control.
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:25.759
Now, I I'm reminded though, as a uh young man, I I was crippled uh as a child.
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:37.920
I had something called Perth's leg disease, which it's a deformed hip bone, and I had to be off of my feet for for a long time.
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:45.839
Uh, and I got a very bad, I got what was called homeschooling, and back then it was it wasn't too good.
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:53.519
They didn't supervise me, I didn't have the other kids, you know, uh in the classroom.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.200
And I got a faulty education at the beginning.
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:03.599
And I actually thought, it's not true, but I thought I was dumb.
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:03.839
Wow.
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:10.480
Because then when I went to regular school, I was way, I was a couple of years behind my age group.
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:17.839
And so and so because uh I I thought I was dumb, I I was.
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:30.160
And uh and and but when I got to high school, I made a quality decision that has paid off my entire life.
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:39.680
I wasn't a believer at the time, but the quality decision that I made is if I work hard enough, I can do well.
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:53.680
And so I worked hard in school, and in high school, uh, I started doing a little good, but in college, I zoomed.
00:24:54.240 --> 00:25:02.319
In college, I worked harder than any student, any other student, and I got mostly A's and a couple of B's.
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:12.640
And uh I in college, and I found out the common denominator to be successful in life is to work hard.
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:13.519
Yes.
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:18.480
Now, when I became a believer, I didn't lose that work ethic.
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:33.920
I kept that work ethic going, and that's why what I've accomplished to the degree that I've accomplished it, it's all God, but it wouldn't have been if I hadn't done my part of working.
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:36.799
Not doing it, but working.
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.039
Um, and I I think there's a lot of lazy Christians today.
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:41.839
It's true.
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:55.200
And we should be the top of everything, the top of athletics, the top of uh uh of entertainment, the to the top of of news, the top of uh nursing and doctors.
00:25:55.359 --> 00:26:06.480
Uh I I I I don't think Christians have even hit what is available, but there is that work ethic that make made a difference in my life.
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:07.839
And you know what?
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:10.640
I don't work at working.
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.119
Yeah, I just do what I have to do.
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:13.440
Right.
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.400
It's not work, it's my lifestyle.
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:18.640
Yes, yeah, if that makes sense to you.
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:29.279
Yeah, well, it's powerful, Sid, because obviously you have pioneered something in the spirit, in the Christian media realm, and you've you have done exactly that.
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:35.440
You've pioneered it with excellence and with a sense of let's take this thing to the globe.
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:41.200
And we've watched you do that along with thousands and thousands and thousands around the globe.
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.519
And it's a tribute to you.
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:50.240
I know that you have raised up uh many believers, many ministries around the globe simply because of that.
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:54.160
You chose to believe what God told you and then do something about it.
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.480
And I think that's a message for this generation.
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:58.480
Believe and do something.
00:26:58.880 --> 00:26:59.440
Yeah.
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.119
And I'll tell you, you two are an example.
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.079
You came and you were guests, as you said, on my shelf.
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.599
And now you're interviewing me in a whole boomerang.
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.359
It's a turnaround boomerang moment.
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:13.359
It is a boomerang moment, you know.
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:15.440
The honor is not lost on us.
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:16.640
Let me tell you that.
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:27.680
Another story you don't know is, you know, God had spoken to us about having a TV show, and he and we had nothing, we had no context, no money, no cameras, no people.
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:29.440
And just arrived in America at the time.
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.880
And just arrived in America.
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:40.400
And when we were about to film with you on it's supernatural, in the hotel room that morning, Jody said, because God was speaking to us so clearly, I want you to have a TV show.
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:44.480
And you know, we we don't believe in you have not because you hint not, you know, like so.
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:47.519
We're not walking around dropping hints and oh, you know.
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:54.000
Um, and but Jody just said, I remember that morning in our hotel, she said, God, if you want us to do this, you're gonna have to do it.
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:55.519
We cannot make this happen.
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:04.160
And a few hours later, we are sitting at lunch, and you had seen us, um, I I think it must have been after we recorded our show with you.
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:06.319
Yeah, and you walked up to us in the warehouse.
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:17.920
And I love, by the way, the warehouse for people watching, you know, like of all the reenactments over the years, you know, there's a nurse's outfit hanging here, and there's a hospital bed there, and there's a Jesus outfit here, and a cross kind of all that.
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:28.880
And we're sitting there in the warehouse, and you just walked up out of the blue and you said, Ben and Jodie, I want to I I want to give you guys a TV show and I'm gonna produce it, and uh, you get yourself here.
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:34.319
And you don't know what what what happened to us in that moment because I just started crying.
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:43.839
We both kind of had tears because just that few hours later, and uh so then we did we did five seasons, 80 episodes of our of our show with you there in your studio.
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:50.319
And everywhere we travel, people say, you know, I I saw you guys on your ISN show, and and it's just amazing.
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:55.200
And I know that we're just one of many, many, many people that you've done that for and so.
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.160
Thank you, Sid.
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.319
Not just your own show, but you've raised up a lot of people.
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:07.119
You blessed us, and you bless so many, and we want to honor that because I'm not sure that you get to always hear back what a blessing you are to the body.
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:15.759
Well, it's nice to be honored in this life, but you and I both know that I want my honor in heaven.
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:19.279
That's what I I I work toward.
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:26.799
Yeah, I I want I want Jesus to say, Well done, yeah, good and faithful servant.
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:28.079
Yes, and that's what we're doing.
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:29.039
That's what I live in.
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:30.000
Yes, I agree.
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.880
I agree.
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.759
Yes.
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:33.279
Let's let's go back a little bit.
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.480
Let me take you back.
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.759
Let me take you back to uh the glory.
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:50.160
Yeah, I want to I feel I feel when I was five or six years of age, that's my first knowledgeable encounter with the glory.
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:51.119
Interesting.
00:29:51.519 --> 00:30:02.000
Again, I didn't know the word, I had no paradigm, but uh my parents were great, great athletes.
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.640
And their sport of choice was poker.
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:12.000
They were great, great athletes.
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:16.240
And they I was home alone before the movie even started.
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:18.960
Right?
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:21.920
Because they're out doing their sporting events, right?
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.240
And they do it at night.
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:27.759
Now we're talking about cards, not the dancing, right?
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:30.880
No, but it definitely wasn't poker.
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.279
This is this is poker.
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.359
Yeah, oh gosh.
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:52.400
And so they were doing their poker, and I'm home alone, and a question pops in my head that no kid five or six years of age should be thinking of.
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:54.319
It might have been four, I don't know.
00:30:54.640 --> 00:31:01.200
You know, it was a young kid, yeah, home alone, and this question pops in my head.
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.519
I I don't know where it came from.
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.319
I didn't even think at that time, where did it come from?
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.440
It just was there.
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:07.680
Right.
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.759
And the question was: what happens when you die?
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:21.759
And so as a five-year-old, I use my best imagination, and we Jews, we don't talk about death.
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.119
Uh, have you ever heard the toast lachayam?
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.720
That means to life.
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.119
Wow.
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:28.480
It's a Hebrew word.
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:29.920
High is life.
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:30.880
It's a life.
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.279
Yeah.
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:32.640
That's that's the toast.
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:35.440
We talk about living and life.
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:37.359
We don't talk about death.
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:50.240
So when I thought what uh what'll happen when I die, I thought, let me imagine what uh what it'll be like when I'm dead.
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:58.079
And I started to imagine it, and I didn't see anything, and I didn't like that at all.
00:31:58.720 --> 00:31:59.279
Interesting.
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.480
And so I did some the only sensible thing I could do as a young kid.
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:09.279
Yeah, I stopped thinking about it for many, many years.
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:27.119
But I believe God was planting a desire for eternity within me, even as that young Jewish kid that literally didn't know the left hand from their right hand, uh as far as spiritually.
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.599
Yeah.
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:29.920
Uh that's where it really started.
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:31.839
What happens when you die?
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:32.640
That question.
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.559
And I think more people should be thinking about it.
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.039
Uh, what happens when you die?
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:46.000
And so um uh uh just just fast forward.
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:46.400
Yeah.
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:53.039
Uh I I I thought I was stupid most of my young life.
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:58.559
And then I decided what would happen if I worked hard, and I found what would happen.
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.720
I could be the best of the best.
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:01.119
Yeah.
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:07.359
Um, and and so I did that, and I kept that work at work ethic my entire life.
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.920
Even today, I keep that work ethic.
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:11.839
I I do a lot of shows now.
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:14.880
And and I want excellence.
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:18.319
Um, and uh I mean, God deserves excellence.
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:22.319
I really, I I really feel that with every fiber of my being.
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:30.079
Um uh and so there I I wrote this new book.
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:33.599
It's it's called The Glory Story.
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:42.240
Yeah, and the reason that I wrote it is my testimony book was how I became a believer.
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.680
But most people don't know what happened with my life.
00:33:45.839 --> 00:34:00.480
They see me on TV, but they don't understand how supernatural it was for all these amazing things to happen that happened after I became a believer in the Messiah, for instance.
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:06.559
And I couldn't make I couldn't make these things happen, even if I wanted to.
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:12.480
A reporter came into my office one day.
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:22.400
I was in investments, and he heard that I was uh uh a businessman that loved Jesus.
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:34.719
And so he asked me some things, and he said, off the no, I said to him, because I had watched movies and TV, I knew how to do this.
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.599
I said, Can I tell you something off the record?
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:39.039
Why did I want to do that?
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:40.800
He was Jewish and unsaved.
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.199
I wanted to win him to the Lord.
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.360
And he said, Of course.
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:55.679
Do you know that everything I said to him off the record appeared in print in the top newspaper in Washington, D.C.
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:57.519
Wow on the front page?
00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:57.920
Wow.
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:02.559
The headline was White Collar Jesus Freaks.
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:05.760
That was the headline.
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:14.960
And I remember calling this Jewish reporter up after my uncle had called and said, How could you do this to your parents?
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:19.760
You see, unlike a lot of Jewish believers, both of my parents are Jewish.
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:26.400
And uh I did a DNA, and I go all the way back to the tribe of Judah through DNA.
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:28.960
They're able, they're able to find that.
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:33.119
Uh so my uncle said, How could you do this to your parents?
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:37.280
Uh and that's when I found out what he wrote about me.
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:38.960
And so I called a reporter.
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:41.119
I said, How could you do that to me?
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:47.119
And the reporter said, It was so good I had to put it in the newspaper.
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:56.639
Can you imagine a new Jewish believer hasn't even read the entire New Testament is on the front page of a major newspaper.
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.639
How could I make this happen?
00:35:58.800 --> 00:35:58.960
Right.
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:02.960
I could possibly in a million years make this happen.
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:10.239
Then a woman by the name of Catherine Coleman of that article.
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:10.800
Yes.
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:12.079
Her staff did.
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:20.719
A woman by the name uh, I think her name was Molly, uh, got got a hold of that article and booked me to do two television.
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:28.639
Still hadn't read the whole New Testament, booked me to do two television shows on national TV.
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:33.679
And it wasn't like today where they have Christian networks and things like that.
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:38.800
There were just a few Christian shows on all of TV.
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:43.840
Um uh and and so I was asked to do two TV shows with her.
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:49.440
Somebody with a name like Katherine Kuhlman and a man with a name like Sid Rolfe.
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:51.199
Well, that's amazing.
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.679
And here's a thought I have.
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:58.320
I can't prove it, I don't not that I have to, but a thought that I have.
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:02.960
When uh well, one thing I do know this is true.
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:13.519
Uh when I met her, I went up to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, went into her office, and this is what she said to me.
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:15.760
I wish you lived here.
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.719
I would love to disciple you.
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:23.599
Now, I have to tell you, because she's now in heaven, so I can say this.
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:26.000
I thought she was goofy.
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:32.480
I thought she dressed goofy, and I would that's the last person I want to mentor me.
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:36.960
I turned down the opportunity of a lifetime.
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:50.880
Benny Hinn was in line, just waiting in line to see a Catherine Coleman uh uh uh service, and he picked up the anointing he operates under today.
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.400
That's the type of presence of God that woman carries.
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:57.840
I had no idea, none whatsoever.
00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:58.960
But you know what?
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:02.960
I wouldn't be who I am today if I had been mentored by her.
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:04.400
So that's true.
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:06.079
God knows best.
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:06.480
Yeah.
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.480
So you turned down, you turned down being mentored by Katherine Coolman.
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:12.079
I I I turned that down.
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:15.119
Gosh, and um and Benny picked it up.
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.920
And Benny picked it up standing in line.
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:21.280
Wow, you know, I found out we found out that uh John R.
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:26.320
Nott and Benny Hinn used to go to Catherine's meetings together to go and pick up the the glory.
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.199
Yeah you know, and we we can see the contagiousness of that.
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:30.000
Yeah.
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:35.599
Yeah, and look what happened with their lives uh as far as far as the presence of God.
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:40.400
Um did you experience the glory with her though, at all?
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:46.239
To tell you the truth, I knew nothing.
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.559
I might have, but I wouldn't have even realized I was experiencing something to tell you the truth.
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:53.519
Yes.
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:57.920
But uh when I I I have to tell you this story.
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:06.400
There's a little book that you've seen it, Four Spiritual Laws that presents the gospel.
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:08.400
Yeah someone gave me that.
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:12.000
Someone that wanted me to become a believer in the Messiah.
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:14.480
So I went, what did you do?
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:17.760
That's that's just my iPad.
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:19.199
Don't mind me.
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:29.840
Um so uh I I I read these these little prayers and I say I say them and I mean it.
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.239
I don't know what I'm doing, but I mean it.
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:32.800
Yeah.
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.480
And nothing happened.
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.480
An angel, I was in the new age, all sorts of things were happening.
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:43.039
I expect, oh, this is the real thing.
00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:43.440
Right.
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.360
I'm now gonna uh have an experience with God.
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:56.559
I didn't feel anything, I didn't see anything, uh uh uh I I didn't hear anything, nothing.
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:59.679
So what's my logical brain gonna tell me?
00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:00.960
It didn't work.
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:01.360
Right.
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:06.159
I didn't tell the person that gave me the track, but I figured it didn't work.
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:07.840
Well, you know something?
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:10.000
This was me.
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:19.360
If God works differently with all of us, he knows what we need, but I'm Jewish and as far away from knowing Jesus as a human can be on earth.
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:24.480
The only thing I that most Jewish people know is we don't believe in Jesus.
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:24.800
Right.
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:26.000
What else do you do?
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:27.840
We don't believe in Jesus.
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.159
That's what most Jewish people know.
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:36.320
We celebrate the feast, we don't really know the scriptures that that that that well.
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:38.960
Um, so I went to bed.
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:42.159
I was separated from my wife and daughter at the time.
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:50.880
If you I left my wonderful job at Merrill Lynch, if you could mess up, I could write a textbook on how to do it.
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:56.159
I messed up royally.
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:26.880
And they've actually have universities that uh regular secular universities that teach on this and have scientifically proven that this is true, where you're where your spirit lead man leaves your body, and uh uh they did a test.
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:36.800
They say, go in, you know, when when this happens to you, go into this room you've never been in, and then describe the room after they woke up, and they could do it.
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:44.320
Um and and so I broke into that realm, but then a woman said to me, thank God for that woman.
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:51.599
Yeah, she said, you know, said once you break into that realm, every time you go to sleep, your spirit goes for a walk.
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:56.880
And I'm living by myself because I'm separated from my wife and daughter.
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:11.440
Um, and and I could picture I'm gonna be alive and my spirit's going for a walk, and they're gonna bury, you know, Rod Serling never had a script as bad as my imagination was at that point.
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:17.440
I was afraid to go to sleep for fear my spirit would go for a walk somewhere.
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:23.840
And so um, but finally, you know, we it's just a human body we have.
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:27.360
I had to, I was totally exhausted.
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:27.760
Wow.
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:36.480
I went to sleep, and the next morning, the last thing I would have ever expected happened to me.
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:47.039
I woke up and I I didn't have words to explain like I have today, but I was in the presence of the glory of God.
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:52.400
Wow, every cell in my body felt alive.
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:56.880
When I went to sleep, I didn't much care if I woke up.
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:57.280
Yeah.
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:02.719
When I woke up, I felt like I was living for the first time in my life.
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:03.679
Wow, Sid.
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:10.000
I was encased, the whole bedroom was encased, not just me, the whole bedroom.
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:14.960
I've never been to that degree of glory since.
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:15.280
Wow.
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:24.239
But that, but I I I feel I had that that uh advertisement, if you will, yeah of the greater glory.
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:29.360
Maybe that's why I'm so passionate about it after all these.
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:33.199
I've been passionate about it all of these years.
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:40.480
But uh it we're getting so close that I have to say, any second now.
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:47.679
And then, by the way, when I woke up in that glory, I heard the audible voice of God for the first time in my life.
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:50.079
And this is what God said.
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:57.039
He quoted the Jewish prophet Malachi, which of course is in all Bibles in the Old Testament.
00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:58.639
And I didn't know.
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:05.119
Uh I mean, I I I knew the name Malachi, but I didn't even know what was in the book at that time.
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.840
But he quoted it vertepatum.
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:09.679
This is what he said.
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:12.960
I hate divorce.
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:15.679
And then he added his own words.
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:19.360
He said, return to your wife and daughter.
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:20.320
Wow.
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:22.239
And you know what I said?
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:23.280
What?
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:25.440
I went from death to life.
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.199
I said, Yes, sir.
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:30.000
I want to go back to that death again.
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:32.800
And God restored my marriage.
00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:36.639
God restored my daughter to us.
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:41.760
God restored everything it's possible to restore.
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:44.000
And I'm so grateful.
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:50.000
There's something called backsliders.
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:55.679
And I don't judge anyone because I'm not the judge, so why would I judge anyone?
00:44:56.320 --> 00:45:04.400
But with what God entrusted me with in those early years, I can't comprehend backsliding.
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:04.719
Wow.
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:06.719
I cannot comprehend it.
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:08.239
I know what's back there.
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:09.840
Don't slide back there.
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:10.400
Come on.
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:17.039
Instead, of all of the things that God could have said to you when He chose to speak to you audibly, you heard the audible voice of God.
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:18.960
It was about you going back to your wife.
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:22.559
And I I just feel even right now, I mean, I just feel like that's a word.
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:26.800
That's a prophetic word for somebody listening, watching, even right now.
00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:31.519
Um, I don't know where you're at, but I I I feel like that's a rhema word for you too.
00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:33.039
You need to go back to your wife.
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:33.360
Yeah.
00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:37.199
I just feel like someone sitting there right now watching, you need to go back to your wife.
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.280
I hate divorce, the Lord said.
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:39.599
Yeah.
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:41.519
Of all the things he could have said to you.
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.119
It's powerful, Sid.
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:45.119
Is that the moment that you got saved?
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:45.679
Do you think?
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:48.320
Is that your moment of salvation?
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.719
If it wasn't, it was when I knew I was saved.
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:53.360
Right.
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:54.079
Yeah.
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:54.880
And you did.
00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:02.079
Yeah, I would I would say, I know, I think the minute I said that prayer on that uh for spiritual laws, I was saved.
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:04.159
Yes, whether I felt it or not.
00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:11.360
And that's why people get uh they're expecting this dramatic thing that I had.
00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:12.079
Yeah.
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:14.320
But God works differently.
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:20.960
We all need something different, we're all wired differently, and our father knows how to reach us.
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:24.159
And so whether you uh I'll I'll give you an example.
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:25.360
My wife.
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:28.320
My wife was raised Southern Baptist.
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:33.840
When I say raised Southern Baptist, she went to church about three times in a Baptist church.
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:35.679
Her parents wouldn't take her there.
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.559
She she went with her grandparents or something.
00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:42.320
Uh, she wasn't born again, she wasn't even Baptist.
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:45.119
Um, but that's how she was raised.
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:48.480
And she said, and she had something within her.
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:51.440
She said, I will never marry a minister.
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:52.960
Never, never, never.
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:53.440
Yeah.
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:54.719
I don't want that.
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:57.199
She saw the life a minister led.
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:00.239
Uh, and she said, I that's the one thing I know.
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:06.400
So when she met this Jewish guy, she said, Oh, he'll never be a minister.
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:07.760
He's Jewish.
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:11.599
So we got it.
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:18.960
So she converted to Orthodox Judaism because my parents required that I marry someone Jewish.
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:19.440
Wow.
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:21.519
And I remember having the discussion.
00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:21.840
Wow.
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.960
And she said, I don't want to convert to Judaism.
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:27.519
So I said, let's go to a class.
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:30.960
So I took her to my Orthodox Jewish rabbi.
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:36.320
She went to one of a couple of classes and she said, I can't do this anymore.
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:38.639
So I got a secret weapon.
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:40.800
You know what my secret weapon was?
00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:41.840
My mother.
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:44.639
You get a Jewish mother.
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:47.280
That's the nuclear weapon.
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:50.320
And so I sent my weapon to the rabbi.
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:50.719
Yeah.
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.920
And she brought some white paper with green ink.
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:55.920
I think they call it money.
00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:05.440
And I don't know how much of that white paper and green ink she gave him, but the next day my wife was Orthodox Jewish.
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:07.760
Oh my goodness.
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:15.760
So your mother bought your wife into Orthodox Judaism.
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:21.760
And so, but and I'm grateful, by the way, because I happen to have dual citizenship.
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:23.360
I'm a citizen of Israel.
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:26.159
I'm a citizen of the United States.
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:32.960
And um, and uh it it it God knew I had to be Jewish to accomplish.
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:45.039
And some of the things that uh I I I have to tell you, I spoke to a prophet a couple days ago, and uh he's just a uh unknown.
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:50.960
He's really is there's someone on the internet that says, unknown prophet, this guy is really unknown.
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:53.599
Yeah, but he's the best prophet I know.
00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:06.320
And I talked to him the other day, and he said in his North Georgia accent, you ain't seen, God tells me to tell you, you ain't seen anything yet.
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:07.440
Come on.
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:09.679
And that's what I believe.
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:15.440
And I believe this is true for our viewers, and I believe this is true for the two of you.
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:21.440
We ain't I'm using that stuff to vernacular.
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:24.079
We ain't seen anything yet.
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:24.639
Amen.
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:29.199
I mean, our best times are ahead of us in the Lord.
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:34.880
Yes, our best time, and when I say that, some people say, Oh, you're gonna become a millionaire.
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:37.360
Well, if I need it, I will.
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:39.199
If I don't need it, I won't.
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:43.119
You know, God knows what I need.
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:44.800
It's all up to God.
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:48.960
But I'm not thinking about money, I'm thinking about something money can't buy.
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:55.599
Yeah, I'm thinking about experiential knowledge of God that no one can ever take away.
00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:57.760
No one can take away from me.
00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:01.679
Yeah, the the knowledge of God that I have.
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.599
You say, well, Sid, I never had those kind of experiences.
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:07.119
Well, guess what?
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.400
You're alive, as it says in the book of Esther.
00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:14.960
Who knows if you've not been called to the kingdom for such a time as this?
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:19.199
I know you have been called to the kingdom for such a time as this.
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:19.599
Amen.
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:29.039
And and you know, I believe there are people that are viewing that are on the edge.
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:39.039
They may be backslidden, they were a believer, they maybe never were a believer, but I I want to tell you, I said a quick prayer.
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:44.079
I didn't feel the thing, but my life was totally transformed.
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:47.280
I'd I'd like all viewers to say a quick prayer.
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:47.599
Yes.
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:58.880
Because, you know, a lot of you are tired, a lot of you are weary, a lot of you have been trying to do well, but you're just weary.
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.159
There's only one solution.
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:06.960
Get closer to God, because you ain't seen anything yet.
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:07.920
I love that.
00:51:08.079 --> 00:51:13.119
Repeat this prayer out loud with me and mean it to the best of your ability.
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:14.880
That's how I started.
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:18.400
Even Billy Graham, I think, must have started that way.
00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:18.960
Yes.
00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:33.199
Repeat this prayer out loud because it says if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart, if you confess with your mouth, this we're wired to believe it in our heart.
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:34.960
Repeat this prayer.
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.960
Dear God, I've sinned.
00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:41.840
I'm so sorry.
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:48.239
I believe the blood of Jesus has washed me clean.
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:52.800
And now that I'm clean, now that I'm clean.
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:57.519
Jesus, come and live inside of me.
00:51:57.840 --> 00:51:59.360
Jesus, come and live inside of me.
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.159
I make you my savior.
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:03.840
I make you my savior.
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.280
But now I make you my Lord.
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:08.800
Now I make you my Lord.
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:11.119
I love you, Lord.
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:12.239
I love you, Lord.
00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:14.159
I want to know you better.
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:15.519
I want to know you better.
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:17.199
Amen.
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:19.360
Wow.
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:21.599
Wow, friends.
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:29.039
If you just prayed that prayer, we've got a little website that you can go to, poor it out.org slash Jesus, just to help you with the next step in that journey.
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:30.400
Yeah, wow, Sid.
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:31.599
So powerful.
00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:40.400
Sid, I want to ask you, I know one of your main passions, if not uh, you know, the glory and Jesus, but you're very passionate about reaching the Jewish people.
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:53.840
And many people don't know this about you, that you actually regularly go and minister and preach to Jewish people and and see incredible miracles, and you've you've done that all around the world.
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:55.760
It's never really kind of advertised.
00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:04.000
Um, do you want to tell us a little bit about that in your heart for the Jewish people and maybe some of the incredible moves of God you've seen amongst them?
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:16.559
I I I, as a Jew, a minority, I have always felt like I want to help minorities.
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:20.400
It's just something ingrained in the heart of every Jew.
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.800
There's another thing ingrained in the heart of every Jew.
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:39.039
I was born a Jew and I'll die a Jew, even if they don't observe the feast, even if they don't go to the synagogue, even if they're closer to an atheist or agnostic than they even think.
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:43.760
There's a heart there, I was born a Jew and I'll die a Jew.
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:47.679
So the average Christian reads in the Bible, Genesis 12, 3.
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:52.480
I'll bless those who bless the Jewish people, I'll curse those who curse them.
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:54.639
So they want to bless the Jew.
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:58.480
And they befriend their Jewish in the Jewish community.
00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:00.320
And I say, wonderful.
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:03.519
And they do great humanitarian work.
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:07.760
They well we do, we build bomb shelters in Israel.
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:13.199
We we purchase ambulances, we do wonderful humanitarian work.
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:18.320
But here's the difference between what I do and what most Christians do.
00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:25.679
Most Christians give money to organizations that hate the belief of Jesus.
00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:33.920
And if a Jewish person believed in Jesus, they wouldn't probably wouldn't use their money to give their food packages to them.
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:39.599
Now I can't say that, but I'm using uh an illustration.
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:49.360
Uh but the greatest gift you can give someone is to have their own experiential knowledge of Jesus.
00:54:50.639 --> 00:55:04.800
There's money can't buy peace, money can't buy a good family, money can't buy health, money can't buy uh the children not being on the street selling their bodies for drugs.
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:08.800
There's the most important things in life.
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:10.639
Money can't purchase.
00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:11.039
Yeah.
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:18.639
And and and so I have a desire to help the underdog.
00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:21.599
I believe the Jews are the greatest underdog in the world.
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:22.239
Why?
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:24.960
Christians have a God ordained call.
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:31.119
And Romans 11 says salvation has come to the Jew.
00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:34.159
To the Gentile.
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:38.880
Salvation has come to the Gentile to provoke the Jew to jealousy.
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:41.440
How are you gonna provoke us to jealousy?
00:55:41.599 --> 00:55:42.719
You got a nice car?
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:43.519
That's nice.
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:44.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:48.480
Uh, you'll have jealousy for about 24 hours, yeah.
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:51.360
But you live in experiential.
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:55.760
The Jew was called for this by God Himself.
00:55:56.000 --> 00:56:05.599
The Gentiles were grafted in and praise God for his heart of goodness, but the Jews were called to be evangelists.
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:15.280
I believe every Jew has a call like Paul the Apostle, and we're right where Paul the Apostle was before the spiritual scales came off of his eyes.
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:26.000
And if Gentiles will start sharing, not just doing good humanitarian work, Christians, but start doing the humanitarian work.
00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:28.000
Here, let me give you an example.
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:33.360
I spoke for a messianic Jewish synagogue in Toronto.
00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:40.239
They had been going to a nursing home for 10 years, I'm making that up, it was something like that.
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:50.559
Uh uh, and doing, you know, loving on the people, giving them food packages, but not saying a word about Jesus.
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.360
They invited me up.
00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:57.679
We invited the entire nursing home to hear me speak.
00:56:58.079 --> 00:56:59.360
All Jewish.
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:02.079
All had never heard the gospel.
00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:08.239
All were about ready to die because of their age.
00:57:09.679 --> 00:57:15.440
Almost everyone stood up and made public professions of faith.
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:26.079
And then this messianic rabbi never dawned on him, said, I can do what Sid did.
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:38.159
Well, you know, the book of Revelation says the devil himself is overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony.
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:44.400
Yes, we know about the blood of the Lamb, the power in the blood of Jesus.
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:49.920
We know about that, but we don't know about the power of the testimony.
00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:52.719
You've just been listening to me.
00:57:53.039 --> 00:58:06.320
You see, when I said that prayer, unbeknownst to me, the Spirit of God slipped right into my body.
00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:11.599
Jesus went and was invited home into my belly.
00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:13.360
Why do I say belly?
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:20.719
Because the Bible says, out of your innermost belly will flow rivers of living water.
00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:25.760
And I had a transaction whether I knew it or not.
00:58:26.079 --> 00:58:33.440
You that said that prayer with us had a transaction whether you know it or not.
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:46.880
Uh we're we're coming into the worst time and the best time, the worst of times and the best of times on planet Earth.
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:55.840
And if you don't go all the way with God, there's gonna be big enticement for you to go all the way with the devil.
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:57.360
You say, No, I'd never do that.
00:58:57.440 --> 00:59:05.840
Yeah, I'm telling you, it's time to make a commitment to God, not just a Billy Graham prayer, but a commitment.
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:07.920
Does that mean go to church?
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:09.119
Maybe.
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:25.280
But it means a commitment to reading the Bible, being filled with the Spirit, speaking in supernatural languages, praying the scriptures, loving people, and letting everyone everywhere know the good news.
00:59:26.159 --> 00:59:27.199
That's the commitment.
00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:33.360
And God's looking for people that will make that type of sacrifice.
00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:35.119
And you know what?
00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:37.519
It's not a sacrifice.
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:48.320
Here I am at 86 years young, having not even done what God's called me to do because it's in the future, yeah, but knowing it's there.
00:59:48.480 --> 00:59:52.000
And in fact, I have some good ideas of what it is.
00:59:52.480 --> 01:00:03.199
But uh, if I feel that at 86, how much more should should uh uh um uh uh Ben and Jody feel that way?
01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:07.519
How much more should some of you that are even younger feel that way?
01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:10.480
No, the best is yet to come.
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:13.519
You ain't seen nothing yet.
01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:15.840
You ain't seen nothing yet.
01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:25.039
Do you feel, Sid, as as the younger you've got, you've become more focused and locked in on this?
01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:28.960
You know, has your have your priorities and your focus shifted or sharpened?
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:30.639
I understand it better.
01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:35.760
But ever since I came to Lord, I've been locked in on this.
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:39.599
But I under, I mean, I had no bearing.
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:49.679
I mean, a Jewish person, uh, the most bearing they may have is they might have gone to church one time with a Christian friend and seen a man hanging on a cross.
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:52.320
And what do you think that does in their mind?
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:55.360
What do you think that they say that's their religion?
01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:58.239
They don't know even what Jesus did for us.
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:04.480
They've never heard the good news, they've never rejected Jesus, they've never been told about Jesus.
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:12.320
The only impression a Jewish person that doesn't know the Messiah has, if that even, is what I just described.
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:12.800
Yeah.
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:14.800
That's no way to be saved.
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:15.599
Yeah.
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:16.559
Yeah.
01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:21.840
Are you seeing, Sid, I I know you have seen many Jewish people be saved.
01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:25.199
Are you seeing an increase of Jewish people being saved right now?
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:26.960
Is there a greater hunger?
01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:28.400
Where are we at?
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:35.679
I believe now this will be a tough statement, but I'm gonna say it because I believe it.
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:40.320
Yeah, the spiritual scales have come off of the eyes of Jewish people.
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:40.639
Wow.
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:52.639
And they're about ready to go on Gentile Christians that are not so red hot for Messiah, yeah that the devil puts that and they'll just melt.
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:52.880
Yes.
01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:55.360
They wouldn't even stick on you.
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:55.840
Yeah.
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:01.840
We're at a decision-making time.
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:04.639
Either he's Lord or he's not.
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:11.440
If he's just savior, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when you get to heaven.
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:14.400
You're saying, Sid, you can't say that.
01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:16.159
Sure, I can say what I think.
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:20.000
I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when I get to heaven.
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:22.639
Yeah, he's got to be Lord.
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:27.280
If I make a mistake, God knew we were human, we'd make mistakes.
01:02:27.519 --> 01:02:28.400
Repent.
01:02:28.800 --> 01:02:39.039
I mean, this is the season, you still have time to repent and get in on the greatest adventure the world has ever had for a human.
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:43.440
And that is the outpouring of the greater glory.
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:44.559
Come on.
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:45.199
Yes.
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:52.960
You know, I was in Israel for the first time in November, and I stood pretty much where your photo is being taken there behind you.
01:02:53.039 --> 01:03:17.760
I know you're not hovering over the Kidron Valley, but you know, on there on the on the Mount of Olives and uh I'd like to be, but and you know, just the reality that Jesus is coming back very soon, that that Israel is, you know, it took it for me from being a galaxy far away, long time ago and a galaxy far, far away, to it actually being a very real place, a very real city.
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:22.800
And as I look at the background behind you, the Mount of Olives is a real mountain, a real hill there.
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:29.280
Jesus is going to come back on that mountain very soon and walk through the East Gate, you know.
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:31.840
And um, just the reality of this.
01:03:33.199 --> 01:03:35.039
Do you have a sense that this is near?
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:37.199
What's your what's your sense of this?
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:39.920
Well, there's two things true.
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:40.159
Yeah.
01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:45.199
Either any second I'll be with Jesus, or any second he'll be with me.
01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:49.119
Uh and it's not it's not just age.
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:54.159
Uh look, it could be a hundred years, two hundred years.
01:03:54.400 --> 01:03:55.280
It doesn't matter.
01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:57.039
I'm living like it's today.
01:03:57.199 --> 01:03:57.679
Yeah.
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:04.159
That's that's uh that's what we're the that's what the first church did, and that's what we're we're supposed to do.
01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:04.719
That's good.
01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:09.519
But I do believe it's soon and could happen very soon.
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:09.920
Yes.
01:04:10.639 --> 01:04:18.960
I don't want to get too far adrift, but I've been reading about these uh AI challenges.
01:04:19.199 --> 01:04:19.840
Yeah.
01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:30.239
And uh I when I first heard about AI, I don't want to get into too deep on this one, but when I first heard about AI, this was my thought.
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:32.400
It's got it, it's like money.
01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:36.000
It can be used for good or it can be used for bad.
01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:37.519
It's not evil.
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:53.360
But what if you have this whole AI set up and a demon who we know can go into a human goes into the AI machine and kind of controls what's going on.
01:04:54.000 --> 01:05:02.480
I I mean things could get rough really fast because the whole world, and by the way, I'm in favor of AI.
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:06.159
It's just like I'm in favor of money if it's used for good.
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:06.559
Right.
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:10.239
In favor of AI, if it's used for good.
01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:13.119
If we don't do it, the rest of the world will do it.
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:15.599
So we have no choice, we have to do it.
01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:16.320
Yeah.
01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:27.760
But um, what if a demon who can inhabit a human can inhabit a pig, we read about in the Bible, could inhabit an AI machine.
01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:28.159
Yeah.
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:37.280
And what if they start giving answers that destroy people's lives?
01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:46.400
Uh you know, everything you these what ifs, they all lead back to the the victory.
01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:46.719
Yes.
01:05:47.039 --> 01:05:48.639
And that's that's Jesus.
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:50.639
There isn't option number two.
01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:51.440
That's right.
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:52.960
There isn't plan two.
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:53.599
Yeah.
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:57.039
It's plan one or eternity in hell.
01:05:57.280 --> 01:05:57.760
That's it.
01:05:58.000 --> 01:05:58.320
That's right.
01:05:58.559 --> 01:05:59.760
You're speaking our language, Sid.
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:08.320
We live with the same urgency that it's now, that there's a desperation right now to reach the world with the truth of Jesus.
01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:09.199
And yeah.
01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:20.239
Yeah, you know, it would be hard to be living of I've been saying this, it'd be hard to be living in Europe in 1939, 1940 and not feel like it was the end of the world and that Jesus was about to come back.
01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:22.880
You know, you'd obviously be forgiven for that.
01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:30.559
Um clearly that wasn't the time, but there are things accelerating at a pace right now which is which is just you know crazy.
01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:36.960
And um we have a sense that's right that we need to preach the gospel, that we need to be busy preaching the gospel.
01:06:37.119 --> 01:06:42.079
And I just love that after all these years that you still kept the main thing, the main thing.
01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:47.679
You're going after Jesus, you're preaching the gospel, you're believing for his glory to be poured out.
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:49.920
And uh, we just honor you for that.
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:51.760
Yes.
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:52.559
Thank you.
01:06:54.159 --> 01:07:08.159
Um, I'm conscious and just want to be mindful of your time, said, but you know, if you did, if you did go to heaven today, you know, if this was your last interview you did, what what would you have wanted to make sure you absolutely said today?
01:07:08.320 --> 01:07:20.639
Yeah, I would I I would say that uh what I've been saying this whole program.
01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:24.239
Yes, I have spent my life serving God.
01:07:24.559 --> 01:07:29.840
It's been hard at times, it's been wonderful at times.
01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:34.159
Would I do it different today?
01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:51.280
Yeah, probably a little better in the early years, where I offended everyone, family, etc., for sure, in the early years, but I wouldn't trade anything for walking with God all these years.
01:07:51.519 --> 01:07:51.840
Wow.
01:07:52.079 --> 01:07:57.840
And uh in fact, see if you don't know, you just don't know.
01:07:58.159 --> 01:08:07.760
But I know the difference between I spent my first 29 years of life not walking for God and the rest of my years walking for God.
01:08:07.920 --> 01:08:09.519
I know the difference.
01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:10.400
Right.
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:17.039
And there and I don't regret spending my life doing this.
01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:17.760
Wow.
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:19.119
I'd do it again.
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:19.520
Wow.
01:08:19.760 --> 01:08:22.720
Except you only live once and then comes the judgment.
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:23.279
Yes.
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:39.039
Can I can I ask you a question that because you know you know many ministers, ministries, you've um had the privilege of seeing um the best of things and often the worst of things?
01:08:39.279 --> 01:08:49.439
Can I just ask your advice to all of us when we see the disappointments, the things that hurt, the things that we just go, oh man, why why?
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:52.000
Do you have advice for us?
01:08:52.159 --> 01:08:55.359
How can we keep our hearts soft and keep going?
01:08:58.239 --> 01:09:01.199
I have a quick repentance level.
01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:01.600
Right.
01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:05.520
When I get a thought like that, I gotta repent of that.
01:09:05.680 --> 01:09:06.079
Right.
01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:08.000
Because God's so good.
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:16.159
And so you see, the longer you wait and the longer you dwell on that, yeah, the more ingrained it gets in you.
01:09:16.479 --> 01:09:20.560
You have to have a quick repentance level.
01:09:20.880 --> 01:09:36.479
The minute I hear something uh that that that uh uh would cause me to even be closely handing my putting my hand close to sin, I repent quickly.
01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:38.159
And it's so easy.
01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:42.079
I live a instant, I live in instant repentance.
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:54.479

01:10:08.079 --> 01:10:10.239
Sid, could you pray for everybody?
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:15.039
Yeah, pray for whatever however you feel, Lid, but of course, we'd love an increase of the glory.
01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:15.279
Yeah.
01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:19.600
And just an impartation, I think, of your hunger after Jesus.
01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:27.760
Father, it's your grace that has kept your hunger inside of me all these years.
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:57.279
And I pray right now in Yeshua's name that the same hunger I have for you, the same love that I have for you, the same peace I have from you would be imparted on every viewer, and they won't look back, and they will press on to the high calling of God in Yeshua's name.
01:10:57.600 --> 01:10:58.239
Amen.
01:10:58.880 --> 01:10:59.520
Amen.
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:00.800
Wow.
01:11:03.199 --> 01:11:03.600
Wow.
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:04.399
Wow.
01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:12.079
