Angel Caught on Film

Some students in Puerto Rico were sitting around a campfire worshiping God when one of them saw an angel dancing around the fire. He pointed the angel out to his friends but they couldn’t see it. Then he took out his cell phone and recorded a 15 second video of the angel to show his friends. Amazingly the angel was captured by the cell phone’s video.

First, let me post the full video captured by the cell phone. Then, I will post a short documentary telling us more about the circumstances surrounding this video footage.

Watch this Documentary to see the Miracles God is Doing Around the World — The Finger of God Film

The other day, I had the privilege of watching a most amazing film documenting the miracles that God is doing all over the earth in our present day.

If you have ever wished that we lived in the times of the Bible when God was doing extraordinary miracles, then you should be glad that you are living in these times. God is doing a multitude of miracles everyday now.

As Blackaby said concerning knowing how to experience God’s life plan for you, “Find out what God is doing and join him.” We are invited to discover what God is doing in our time. If we get involved in God’s cause we will see him doing amazing things as he pursues his goals on the earth.

Before you watch this film (posted below), I want to remind you that in every new generation God has done new things and in every generation “God-experts” have made the mistake of coming out against what God wants to do in that generation. Don’t make the mistake that so many “God-experts” make. They think they have God all figured out. They have God stuck in a nice tidy box inside their 1400 gram brain. At least that’s what they think!

In Jesus’ own time on earth, the biggest resistance to his ministry came from the religious leaders of his day because like so many religious people they thought they understood what God was all about and what God’s plans were and what God would look like. So, let’s remember that God is so much bigger than we understand. Whether you are an atheist who thinks that there is no God, or an agnostic who thinks we cannot really know if there is a God on this side of heaven, or a deeply spiritual person who is sitting on some amazing experiences with God, please remain open to discovering something new about God. Be careful not to be like the six blind men of Indostan who only understand a piece of the elephant but think they have it all figured out.

Let’s be like children who accept whatever God is doing with open hearts. I’m not saying that we need to be gullible. But we do need to try to stay open to learning and discovery — especially concerning the invisible realm. Jesus said that it is impossible to enter the kingdom of God without becoming like a little child. Unfortunately as children many of us were deceived by adults and lost our child-like faith. We were tricked into believing that there was a toothfairy and a Santa Claus who flies reindeer and other things that we later found were not true. It is no wonder that now we also have trouble believing in angels and God who are other beings we have heard about but never actually saw.

God wants us to know that he really is there and that he really does care about us.

Now, let’s take a look at the miraculous things God is doing in our generation.

The following footage comes from the documentary filmed by Darren Wilson called “Finger of God” available in the DVD category of our new book store.

If you like what you see, you should consider watching the Deluxe Edition of Finger of God and the latest documentary by Darren Wilson — “Furious Love” also available in our book store.

Greatest Healing Miracle of the 20th Century – The Delores Winder Story

Sid Roth, host of the TV show It’s Supernatural, calls Delores Winder’s healing one of the greatest healing miracles of the Twentieth Century.

Delores Winder’s website briefly describes her medical history as follows:

Delores Winder was plagued with pseudo arthritis for nineteen and a half years. She was in a full body cast and neck brace during that time. At the age of 31, her bones were aged and deteriorating she had the bones of someone in their mid 70s. Delores’s bones continued to deteriorate rapidly, and as a result, her spine, hips, wrists, shoulders, and fingers were so fragile that she couldn’t be touched. Her lungs, heart, stomach, and kidneys were all failing too.

In order to kill the pain, Delores had four spinal fusions and two percutaneous cordotomies (burning out of the nerve centers at the base of the brain), which caused no feeling on the whole right side of her body and on the left side up to her waist.

Delores was making her funeral arrangements and was looking forward to death since it would be a wonderful relief from the agonizing pain she had endured much of her life. Her one concern though was her 14-year-old son. She needed assurance that he would be taken care of in her absence.

Interestingly, God instructed her to go to a conference by Kathryn Kuhlman to find out how he would take care of her 14-year-old son. I say “interestingly” because Delores couldn’t tolerate Kathryn Kuhlman. Delores was very skeptical of Kathryn’s ministry since Kathryn was known to miraculously heal people by God’s power. Delores didn’t believe that miraculous healings could still take place in post-Biblical times so she did not trust Kathryn’s ministry. But since Delores was concerned about her son and had a promise from God that he would reveal his plan for her son if she went to the Kathryn Kuhlman conference, she chose to attend that meeting. It also helped that the particular meeting she was supposed to attend was being hosted by a Christian denomination Delores trusted and the meeting’s focus was not on healing but on the Holy Spirit.

That meeting would change her life. Not only did God reveal his plan for her son; but also, he totally healed her and restored sensation to her entire body — something that was medically impossible since the nerve centers at the base of her brain stem had been severed in order to reduce her pain.

This complete healing took place in Dallas, TX on August 30, 1975 after there was no medical hope for her and her only concern was making sure that her son would be taken care of after she died.

Since this healing took place nearly 35 years ago, Delores Winder has had many opportunities to tell her story. The brief summary I have given above does not paint the whole picture and leaves out many details including how she was actually healed. That is because I could never do her story justice. I want you to take the time to watch at least one of the video clips posted below so that you can hear from her own mouth exactly what she experienced and what happened to her.

Plane Crashes, Man Burns, Enters Glory – The Falling to Heaven Testimony

Now, with modern medicine’s improved resuscitation techniques, we have many near death experience stories. But today, I want to share an NDE that occured over 40 years ago.

I recently came across the amazing testimony of a sky diver named Mickey Robinson. Back in August 15, 1968 tragedy hit. The airplane was making a sharp ascent when the engines stopped and the plane crash landed. The pilot was burned alive.

Most of the sky divers were able to get out of the plane without much damage. But Mickey was stuck in the plane because his harness was caught on something. By the time he was rescued, he was severely burned over 35% of his body. He would spend 167 consecutive days in the hospital and go through years of hospital treatment and endure over 50 surgeries.

At one point, the hospital called his sister and said if you want to see your brother, you better see him this morning because he may not be here this afternoon. It was that day, that Mickey’s spirit left his body and he experienced eternity.

I have found three videos where he shares aspects of his near death experience. The first one I saw was this recent interview with Patricia King through my iTunes subscription to Extreme Prophetic Television. However, I notice that the video is not playing correctly on her website (at least on my computer). I hope it plays for you because it is a great interview and the main reason I got interested in Mickey Robinson’s testimony. I recommend subscribing to the iTunes Extreme Prophetic Television podcast and watching the interview posted February 28, 2010.

Or you can watch this Sid Roth interview done 3 years ago. This is also a great interview because, in addition to his near death experience, Mickey shares how his blind eye was restored and how God healed him of damage that was considered incurable by the medical community. And then there is another surprising miracle healing that Mickey reveals in this video — but I don’t want to ruin the surprise…

Both of those interviews are a summary of his near death experience and won’t take much time to watch.

You Can Hear God – Using a Prayer Journal to Hear God’s Voice

There are many ways to hear God’s voice. One of my favorites is by journaling because it makes it so easy to hear what God is saying and at the end of your time journaling you will have a record of what God said to you.

I learned this technique for hearing what God is saying from Mark Virkler’s article: You Can Hear God’s Voice!

Mark Virkler was praying to learn how he could hear God’s voice. In fact, he even took a year off from his pastoral duties to focus on learning how to hear from God. During that year, Jesus finally came to him one night and woke him up with an audible voice and gave him four keys to effectively hearing God’s voice. You can learn more about Mark’s testimony by listening to him sharing his testimony and an introduction to hearing God’s voice or listen to radio and television interviews.

A brief summary of what Mark Virkler shares in his article is that hearing God’s voice can be easy if you follow four keys:

  1. Know what God’s voice sounds like
  2. Become still with a worshipful attitude
  3. Fix the eyes of your heart on Jesus
  4. Journal in faith

I would like to offer a few thoughts on the above points to help you get started. These thoughts are not meant to replace Mark Virkler’s article that got me started in hearing God’s voice through journaling. Instead, the following thoughts are meant to provide supplemental guidance. So you might want to read Mark’s article first and then read what I have to add.

Know what God’s voice sounds like

God can speak in different ways at different times to different people. A lot of people assume God would speak in an audible voice. He certainly can and does do that. But don’t assume that He will always speak that way to you.

In fact, if you consider that the eardrum receives vibration waves carried by the air and delivers a message to the mind, you have to wonder why almighty God would go to the trouble of sending his message through the air and then through the ear and finally into the mind when he can simply speak directly to your mind.

In my case, he normally takes the shortcut straight to my mind. My ear does not hear God’s voice. But my mind does receive God’s message. So, God’s words appear inside my mind like thoughts. These are the thoughts of God. In fact, the way I receive God’s thoughts can be compared to the concept of telepathy, which is the transfer of thoughts between individuals by means other than the five senses

So, when I receive a message from God, it comes as a thought quietly placed into my mind. Why do I say “quietly”? Because there isn’t the energy of my mind’s wheels behind that thought since my mind did not generate that thought. That is why people talk about the “still, small voice of God.” God’s thought quietly appears in my mind and I write it down and a new thought from God takes its place.

Become still with a worshipful attitude

To hear God, you will need to cut out the noise and activity. Don’t expect to hear from God while the TV is blaring and you are rushing to get dinner on the table. God is best heard when you find a quiet, restful place and focus your heart on the adoration of God.

I always start my journaling time with praise and worship because this helps me tune into God’s voice. If God’s voice stops flowing into my mind, then I return to worship and then I begin hearing him again.

One time while I was journaling, I wrote to God this prayer: “I desire to know you more and hear your voice better. Please guide me and show me the path step by step.”

In response, God spoke to me about the importance of being still to know him. Here is what God said to me:

You are my beloved son. I guide you and make you whole. Pursue me and know me. I am like the wind. I am always with you, always moving, always surrounding you. To know the wind you don’t chase it, do you? Don’t you open your arms and let the moving wind flow through you? You are still and let your senses be sensitive and experience the movement, force, and sound of the wind. So to know me, open your heart, be still, be attentive and become familiar with my movement, my energy, and my sound. I am your God. Always moving. Always coming. Always going. Always with you. You have seen me moving just as you have seen the leaves moved by the wind. But take your attention from the trees to feel me moving through and around you. Be the tree and know me.

Fix the eyes of your heart on Jesus

To truly hear God, you should focus on Jesus. Jesus is our open door to heaven. Through him we have unlimited access to God — including direct communication with God.

You will hear what you focus on. If you focus on your mind, you will hear your thoughts. If you focus on your problems, you will hear your worries. If you focus on your desires, you will hear your wishes. If you focus on Jesus, you will hear God.

One great way to focus on Jesus is to use your imagination to picture him and you in a scene you are comfortable with. For instance, you might imagine yourself sitting in a garden with Jesus sitting on a rock by you having a chat with you.

Journal in faith

What makes journaling such an effective way of hearing God is that it allows you to put aside your analytical thinking for awhile and just have an attitude of faith while whole-heartedly listening to God.

We hear God by faith. As Mark Virkler points out in his article, it is very important to put aside any doubts while you are in the process of listening to God’s voice. Just write. Don’t think. journalingWhen you are finished writing down your conversation with God, then you can go back and examine what you heard and see if it is from God — but try not to enter this analytical process of judgment until you are finished hearing from God.

When you put these four keys to hearing God’s voice together, you will find that hearing from God comes easily to you. It is recommended that you share what God tells you with a couple of your spiritual mentors who can help you confirm whether what you heard is really from God or not.

The first time I tried journaling as a way to hear God’s voice, I wasn’t sure if it would work. But I put all my doubts and questions aside and just tried it and the results were amazing.

Here is an excerpt from my very first conversation with God through a prayer journal (“T” is me and “G” is God):

T- Good morning God

G- Good morning my son. How are you today?

T- I’m fine. I’m happy to hear you!

G- I am always with you – to the end of the age and in the age to come.

T- Thank you for being with me. Are you happy with me?

G- You are my pride and joy. I am your Father and treasure all of my children.

T- How can I be a better son?

G- You must seek my face. Your heart is mine. I want to know you.

T- I want to know you too! Will you reveal yourself to me?

G- It is my pleasure to reveal myself to you. You are my son. I desire to show myself to my children.

T- Thank you God. I want to know you. Thank you for speaking with me. What would you like to say to me now?

G- My son, I want to tell you many things. Come to me and I will always be happy to talk with you. You are my treasure.

Since that first journaled conversation, I have had many amazing conversations with God. He has revealed my destiny. He has provided guidance for my future. He has taught me spiritual truths. He has shared his heart with me. It is always a very fulfilling way to spend my devotional time.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

God’s Glory will appear upon you — Gold Dust Miracles

A phenomenon that has been happening for quite some time now is gold dust appearing on people as a sign of God’s glorious presence being with them.  It seems to have begun with sister Sylvania Machado of Brazil, and exploded further when she and Ruth Ward Heflin began to have meetings.  Ruth Heflin wrote a book Golden Glory that chronicles what God did in and through their midst and how He touched lives through this miracle.

The gold dust appears miraculously — most frequently during times of worship or prayer when hearts are focused on God’s splendor and majesty.

The gold dust appearing helps remind us of the spiritual truth that God is majestic and rich in spiritual blessings. We know God is with us and when the gold dust manifests itself, this truth is confirmed and our hearts soar in praise of our Royal King who created the universe and can create gold dust, gems, oil, or any other thing he wishes to give us a glimpse of his power and greatness.

The Prophet Isaiah prophesied the following words: “For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you.” (Isaiah 60:2)

Today, God’s glory truly is appearing upon people.

Let’s take a look at some video footage documenting some of these gold dust miracles…

In this video you can see piles of gold dust forming on Lucy Rael’s hands

 

In this video you will see members of a congregation showing the small diamonds and gold dust that are appearing during their worship services.

 

In this video you will see gold all over Joshua Mills.

 

Gold dust found on girl’s hands.

 

In this video you will see Patricia King talking about her experience with Joshua Mills who had an angel burst a ball of sapphire dust all over him.

Click the link to see the video.

After listening to an audio recording about God’s power, members of the congregation find gold dust in the pews of the church (skip to 7:50 to see the gold dust).

 

Keith and his friends had just come home from a church service where Keith had been preaching, when they noticed gold dust all over Keith and his clothing.

 

Gold dust is a sign of God’s majesty and glory present in our lives. Some people think it is strange that God would reveal his majesty in this way, but we should try to let God out of the box. He has every right to display his glory and reveal himself in whatever way he sees fit! The Bible tells us that gold will pave the streets of heaven. We think this is amazing, but if God wants to use gold to pave the streets who are we to tell him that he should use asphalt? When Moses and the elders of Israel went up Mount Sinai they came into the glorious presence of God and the pavement under their feet was made of sapphire. We should not insist that God does things our way. He doesn’t have to use cement and asphalt on his heavenly roads. He can use sapphire, gold, or whatever he chooses. He doesn’t have to use human means of communication. We like words. We like pictures. But if God wants to use gold and diamonds and gems to communicate with his children, then who are we to tell him that he is doing it wrong? Nothing is too difficult for God. We should not be surprised that he is making gold dust and gems appear out of thin air. All he has to do is speak and it is done. But we should praise him and love him for choosing extravagant and creative ways to reveal himself to us.

Have you seen a sign of God’s power and presence in your life? Tell us about it in the comments section…

Sid Roth – It’s Supernatural!

I love Sid Roth. He is a beautiful Jewish man who hosts a TV show and a radio show that features supernatural stories from people moving in spiritual power.

Nearly every weekend, you can find me watching his show having my faith being built up.

Today, I am just going to share a couple TV episodes with you as well as a set of radio broadcasts. My hope is that this taste of his programs will get you excited about what is possible when our spirits connect with God and that you will become aware of Sid Roth’s work.

First, I want to share a TV episode (about 20-30 minutes long I think) featuring a young woman named Jennifer Toledo who was called by God to go on an adventure that would be utterly life changing.

Jennifer Toledo’s interview with Sid Roth

Another amazing young woman who visits with Sid Roth is Evangeline Weiner. She grew up with a family of supernatural healers and has many amazing stories of God’s power to heal.

Stories of Supernatural Healing and Restoration from the IHOPU Student Awakening

Lives continue to be transformed by the power of God flowing through the student body at IHOPU.

Bodies are being healed. Hearts are being mended. Spirits are being transformed!

Amazing testimonies of people getting free are pouring in from all over the world as people get on the internet, watch the awakening meetings, and tune into the Holy Spirit.

You can also see amazing stories from students at the awakening meetings by watching the stories recorded live at the meetings. (on the gray bar, click on ‘testimonies’)

I have been watching these testimonies and want to share just a few here to wet your appetite to watch more of these stories or, better yet, tune into these awakening meetings to have an experience of your own!

 

This first testimony is just one of many testimonies of God healing his children of physical problems–listen as Christina shares on how God touched her body and healed scoliosis that afflicted her for 29 years.

Christina’s Testimony

 

Here is a wonderful experience of how a young woman was freed from shame that she learned as a result of being abused sexually and raped as a child, and then from the resulting addiction to sexual encounters. Freedom from shame has been a common experience as these students encounter the love of God.

Summer’s Testimony

 

Here are two students who are being freed from addictions to cigarettes, drugs, media, pornography and all kinds of other substitutes for the love of God.

Luke’s Testimony

 

Monty’s Testimony

 

The experiences happening at IHOPU are not contained to the students who go to the school.  Visitors are coming and getting touched by the power of God.  God is interested in doing things that transcend our understanding of what is possible.  This young woman, Jamison, got healed after hearing of someone else’s testimony of healing.  Watch and let your faith rise!

Jamison’s Testimony

 

People have gotten healed over the webstream!  Listen to Bobbi’s story of healing–both in the past and present!

Bobbi’s Testimony

 

The experiences these students are having are not at all contained to these meetings. Students are going home and seeing their families transformed by God’s love and healing power. They are going about their daily business and seeing God leap onto their friends and even strangers to transform those people’s hearts and lives. Here is a great story about a guy who went into Walgreen’s to buy some ice cream and ended up seeing four strangers have a supernatural encounter with God’s life-transforming love and power!

Neil’s Testimony

 

 

One of the most common and powerful healings God is doing is healing people from self-hatred.  Watch the following two testimonies of people who have gotten healed from self-hatred–one even got physically healed as well!

Jennifer’s Testimony

 

 

God is not content to live at a distance from his children. People have put up an imaginary line across the sky and have thought that God should be confined in the heavens. But he will not be confined. Especially when a generation of young people are no longer content to have mere theoretical ideas about God. We are a generation of people who want the real deal. We want to experience him, know him, and love him. God has heard his children’s heart-cries. He is responding in a big way. He doesn’t want to live only in heaven. He wants to live in our hearts!

IHOPU Student Awakening – God’s Spirit Healing Hearts & Setting People Free

What happens when God invades a student campus and totally displaces the theology professors’ lesson plans and the students start actually experiencing the healing power of Gods love?

Hearts are healed and minds are set free from stuffy religious philosophy! In short, lives are changed forever.

Wes Hall was a practicing lawyer before he started teaching at IHOPU (International House of Prayer University). On November 11, 2009 in a 9am freshman class, Wes was surprised to find that instead of a bunch of sleepy students he had a class full of students having heart to heart encounters with the living God. Physical and emotional healings were taking place and the students were responding to God’s amazing love and healing with tears and joyful laughter.

Being a man of God, Wes realized he needed to cautiously allow God to be sovereign in his class.

“Once a lawyer, always a lawyer” Wes interviewed his students one at a time later to find out if they were from the kinds of church backgrounds that were given to emotionalism and shaking and so forth. He was surprised to find out that his students had never experienced this kind of emotional encounter with God before and some of them had even made fun of people who shake and laugh during church services thinking that only “flaky” people do that kind of thing. He became convinced from the student’s testimonies and the evidence of the physical healings that this was truly a move of God and that he should stay out of God’s way.

The students and their teacher had experienced the living God and their lives would be changed forever.

But the story doesn’t end there!

When other teachers found out that God was doing a special work in Wes Hall’s class, they joined their classes with his class so that their students could also experience the love and power of God.

Soon the whole campus was experiencing a Holy Spirit led awakening. The students have received all kinds of wonderful healings and their eyes have been opened to the wonderful grace of God.

The students began holding special prayer and worship meetings that continue to this day. These meetings are focused on enjoying the manifest presence of God. Each week these meetings are posted on their website and you can even watch a live webcast of the meetings if you tune in at the right time. As you scroll down at the above link, you will see that student testimonies of healing are also available to view.

Many people have also experienced the real power of God just by tuning into these online webcasts and focusing their hearts on Jesus. Those tuning in have had their hearing restored, been freed from depression, delivered from lung cancer and many other healings.

I have been watching these webcasts to aid my personal devotional time and it has been absolutely wonderful soaking in the living presence of our Lord.

Here is a brief summary of how the student awakening began as told by Wes Hall. You can see in the video how this once very dignified lawyer has been affected by the reality of God’s presence flooding into him. He makes reference to Ezekiel 47 where the prophet experiences a trickle becoming a stream and finally a full blown river of life going into the sea.

Jewels Falling from Heaven in Puerto Rico

Jewels are materializing out of thin air in Puerto Rico. And there is more: Gold dust and oils are also mysteriously showing up.

 

These kinds of supernatural manifestations–gemstones, oil, and gold, have been reported all over the world. It is not uncommon to hear of a worshipper with oil oozing from their hands, feathers floating over their heads, or even gemstones and gold dust sprinkling a place of worship where the Holy Spirit and angels are given permission to do whatever they wish.

What is surprising about this humble little Puerto Rican church is the sheer volume of heavenly treasures showing up.

What this church is experiencing are creative miracles. For Creator God to do this is SO easy. He can and will do even greater things than this. He has a purpose in all of this. Here are a few possible messages he may be trying to convey to us through these signs and wonders:

  1. The gemstones may convey how precious we are to him. He manifests in our material world tokens of the value that he attributes to us in the spiritual world.
  2. The gemstones may indicate how valuable our worship is to him.
  3. He may be trying to teach us that we do not need to worry about material needs if only we have and rely on him. See Matthew 6:25-32 which tells us not to worry about material needs and concludes by saying, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
  4. He may be trying to show his children that heaven is not so far away after all. We can enter the heavenly places and the things of heaven can enter our earthly realm. When we worship, a beautiful exchange takes place between heaven and earth. I will worship God with all my heart and let heaven fill my heart!
  5. Remember that the streets of heaven are made of gold. I bet the angels DO have a bunch of gold dust on their feet. Usually the gold dust does not transfer to our world but in this case God allowed it to happen as a sign to his people that angels are with them.

The video tells us that the bible on the pulpit is always turned to the end of Psalms and the beginning of Proverbs. That means that the last psalm would be visible to anyone who looked at the bible. This psalm is especially appropriate. Check it out:

“Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.”
