It's Supernatural. SID: ANDREA: SID:

Transcription

1 Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it's naturally supernatural. The truth for believers in Messiah about healing is not about receiving new gifting, but growing in revelation of what you already have. Think about it. Is there a supernatural dimension, a world beyond the one we know? Is there life after death? Are there hidden forces of darkness trying to block God's blessings for your life? Do angels exist, providing us with supernatural protection, disarming our enemies? Can our dreams contain messages from heaven? Can we tap into ancient secrets of the supernatural? Is God ready to bring a tsunami wave of healing onto planet Earth today? Sid Roth has spent over 40 years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid for this edition of It's Supernatural. SID: I'm here with Andrea. Andrea, you were sabotaged. That's all I can say. You should have never survived what you went through. You're Swiss. Your mom was involved in... It's like so many that are involved in searching for truth. Sometimes they get into the counterfeit. They get into witchcraft, new age, the occult. She was in all those things. Then she turned to drugs and alcohol. The marriage was bad. She gets pregnant at 21 with Andrea. And your father is abusive, even threatened to kill you. And at age three and a half she literally took you, escaped, and went to shelters, homeless-type shelters. I mean, you really were sabotaged. But when you were 11 years old you two were rescued. What happened? ANDREA: So when I was 11 years old I played soccer in a club. And my best soccer friend ended up being a Christian, so he would tell me about Jesus and I always believed in supernatural things since my mom was involved in witchcraft and new age. I would always see visible creatures walking around in my room or audible voices talking to me. So I always knew that there was a spiritual world outside, but I wasn't able to give a name to it. And my friend, he would tell me about this Jesus. And when we would have games, my mom would come and watch the games, and so did his mom as well. So they started to get to know each other, and we ended up becoming good friends with them. And since they lived right in the village next to where we were living, we ended up going to their house quite a lot. And when I was 11 years old, they both asked us if we want to ask Jesus into our hearts. And we ended up saying, "Yes, of course." And it was the best decision ever. So they both prayed for us. We ended up receiving Jesus. And I saw my mom as a young boy being completely transformed by the power and love of God in a very short amount of time. She was set free from everything. Really beautiful. SID: But, you know, Andrea is young, and he wasn't willing to give up the world. So you might say as we have a phrase here in America, one foot in the Lord and foot in the world. But he wanted to be a professional athlete, and you were involved in... in Switzerland they have something called floor ball, which you tell me is ice hockey is the closest to floor ball. And you were ready for the championship tournament, but it was better than the championship tournament. The scouts from the top pros were going to go watch him become a superstar, and the Hollywood movie script was going to be written out in his life. But that's not the way it was written. He breaks his ankle. Tell me about that.

2 ANDREA: So I was supposed to play at the under-19 world championship that was taking place in Switzerland, and I was obviously training really hard in order to make the best out of that opportunity. And literally three days before that world championship would start, I broke my ankle. My ligaments were torn, and I was obviously really hurt and disappointed. So I was 17 years old when that happened, and I remember going home and just for the first time really opening up my heart to God telling him that, "I want to give my life completely to you." I was looking for things. I was trying to have my identity anchored in things that I wasn't supposed to do. And for the first time in my life I also admitted to Jesus that I was actually hurt not having a biological father next to me. In just a couple of seconds something entered my room. Love entered in, and I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and the love on the floor weeping for hours and hours. And that's where my life really started to be transformed in an absolute beautiful, incredible way. SID: And this love has driven him to revelations that frankly I haven't heard other guests talk about, about operating in miracles. And this love allows him to operate in miracles, but that's not what his passion is. His passion is, he says, anything God has given him, God has already given you. And his passion is to see you operating miracles but not for the miracles. He wants you to operate in miracles to grab the attention of a non-believer so that they too can experience being joined from above and knowing the Messiah of Israel. We'll be right back after this, because I want him to explain these revelations to you. We'll be right back to It's Supernatural. [commercial] We now return to It's Supernatural SID: So Andrea is full with the love of God. Then you're minding your own business and God speaks to you. And he says, "Go to Berlin, Germany and be equipped for what is known as power evangelism." So you go to Berlin, and tell me what happened. ANDREA: So in Berlin, the leaders were teaching us some very simple steps on how you can go out and minister to unbelievers. And I just thought, "Okay, if it sounds that easy, I'm just going to do it and try it out." And we ended up seeing God do the most incredible things, signs and wonders, deaf ears that opened up. SID: Tell me the first miracle that you operated in in the streets ever after that training. ANDREA: So I went to the skate park, because I figured there were going to be a lot of people. And I saw this young girl having a brace around her arm. And I approached her telling her that I believe God still heals, and [asking] if I was able to pray for her. And surprisingly she said, yes, she would love to receive prayer. But the guy next to her started scream around the park saying, "You guys need all to come and watch this, because this young man claims to believe that God still heals today."

3 SID: That's his first time. ANDREA: Yes. SID: How would you have liked that? I mean, that wasn't after he's a pro. I mean, put yourself in that situation. Go ahead. ANDREA: So I ended up having an audience of non-believers seeing me the first time praying for someone to be healed. And I prayed a very short prayer, but it was a prayer that came from my heart, because I believe if you pray from your whole heart, the prayer will always find the heart of God as well. So after short prayer, I asked her to move around her wrist. And she said, "Oh, my goodness. There is no pain at all." And she ended up taking off the brace, shaking her hand declaring to everyone who was there, "I'm healed. I'm healed." SID: How did the crowd react? ANDREA: They were absolutely confused, but we ended up having had the privilege to pray for more people, obviously. That was beautiful. SID: Today Andrea travels the world equipping believers to do exactly what he does. That's his passion, because that is the kingdom of God. Now, I asked you on the phone. I said, "If there were two truths for the TV show for you to talk about," you told me the first one that people don't understand the word authority. Explain what authority means to you. ANDREA: It's very important. In Matthew chapter 28 Jesus walks up to his 11 remaining disciples and says, "All authority on heaven and on earth have been given to me." And Jesus makes that statement still as the Son of Man, depending on the Holy Spirit or as our older brother saying he'll receive an inheritance of the Father, so we as sons and daughters could be born into the family of God as co-heirs, which tells me Jesus says, "Hey, guys, I just received a bigger measure of authority than I had before." It's an upgrade. And now we all have access to the same authority Jesus received after he was resurrected from the dead, which tells me right now we all have access to a bigger measure of authority that Jesus himself had when he was walking on earth. And that's a ridiculous thought until you read John chapter 14:12 where it says that those who believe will do the same works as Jesus did and even greater works will be done. So, yeah. SID: Yeah. Out of curiosity, what do you think I know what the same works were. You know what the same works, the blind could see, the deaf could hear, those that couldn't speak could speak, the lame could walk, the dead were raised. Those are the same. But he's saying greater. What do you think that greater was? ANDREA: I believe the church is coming into a place where we are going to start to think way bigger, because he also says in the same chapter, Matthew 28, "Go out disciple all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" and so on. And I think many believers read through that scripture thinking, "Ooh, we are supposed to go into the nations in order to disciple individuals, but that's not what Jesus is saying. He is saying, "Go out to the world in order to disciple whole nations, baptizing them in the Holy Spirit. He's still talking

4 about the nation. So, Sid, how would it look like to have the whole United States baptized in the Holy Spirit in one day. SID: That is what he said. So pick a nation. ANDREA: Absolutely. SID: And you pray that nation. Why does that sound so impossible? God says all things are possible. I like that. You know why? Because there's greater glory that is about ready to invade the whole world. You will be equipped to do all things that Jesus did and even greater. But there's a second revelation, and this is outrageously good. I mean, it really is. It's called look at everything through the heavenly perspective. Be right back. We'll be right back to It's Supernatural. [commercial] We now return to It's Supernatural SID: Andrea, this second thing that you said you really want to make sure and drill home to the people that are watching is what you call the heavenly perspective. What does that mean to you? ANDREA: Let me tell you a story. I was once walking around in our city with a good friend of mine. And three people that are highlighted to us, two boys and one girl. And as we were approaching them, I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that the boy right, to my right hand, he was struggling with his ankle due to an injury he had a couple of weeks ago. So we asked him, and he was like, "Yeah, it's true. How do you guys know?" And my friend happened to have a word of knowledge about the other boy's back, which was true as well. So they both, again, asked, "How did you guys know that?" And when we were explaining that we are believers believing that Jesus talks to us and he wants to heal you now, the girl in the middle starts to scream at me saying, "You guys get away with your God. I am an atheist. I don't want to hear anything more from you guys." And, Sid, this SID: You really pick them don't you? ANDREA: Yeah. And this could have been a moment for me to really easily be offended. And I was maybe a little bit, having a girl screaming at me at that, being bitter against the Lord. But then I was asking the Holy Spirit, "Lord, what is it you are doing in her life?" And I suddenly felt the Holy Spirit telling me that he has called her to be a prayer warrior and intercessor. When I was hearing that I was asking, "Why, Holy Spirit, are you telling me these things?" And then I saw a picture of her being a little, little girl always praying interceding believing in God. And then what happened is that her mom got sick. You have cancer, and she died. But she prayed for her mom to the very end believing God could do a miracle. But because she died, that was the reason she was an atheist. And when I was hearing all that I started to tell her, "Hey, you are angry at God and bitter towards him because you believed that

5 God could heal your mother to the very last second, but it didn't happen. So she died, and you turned away from the Lord." And she started to weep, to shake, to tremble, saying everything is true and right on the spot she gave her life back to the Lord asking him for forgiveness. It's wonderful. But here is the point, and that's the key. When I was looking at the girl, I saw someone who was angry at God. But when heaven was looking at the same person, heaven saw a prayer warrior. Paul keeps telling us through the letters he wrote that we are seated in heavenly places with Jesus in order to make us aware that we have access to another reality. Or in Colossians chapter 3 he says, "Since you guys have been raised, being made seated with Jesus in the heavenly places, don't seek these things which are on the earth. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things on the earth." And he says that because you will always live from the place you are most aware of. And if we start to seek the face of God in order to see his size. And the more you see his size the more you will start through his size. And you will become prophetic to the degree you see from God's perspective. Prophetic is nothing else than an invasion from God's perspective into the now. And that's really what happened in this very moment. I was seeing something that God was showing me in order to speak what he was saying. SID: Again, I say this so often to my guests. You operate in a wonderful gift of God. But do you see the people you equip do the same things and even greater than you? ANDREA: Absolutely. You know, when I've traveled the world there are always people who are so hungry just pulling all the things that God has for them down believing they can do the same thing. But it's going to be the people who will put themselves into situation where these things has to come out, or in any other way they would just look really stupid. But these are the guys who are going to see breakthrough. So it's not whether or not you have a gift of healing. But Jesus in you surely has it. But it's about making ourselves available so God can use us at any time, anywhere. SID: I heard you teaching about, it's a rigged deal when you go out in the city and start... God's already... It's a set up. What do you mean by that? ANDREA: Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10 says that God has already prepared to work for us, so we can just walk in them. And in the beginning I thought that I was responsible to take Jesus out in order to make him work. But now I realize that God has already been working out there, and that I, as a son, have the privilege to partner with him in whatever it is that he's already doing. And we as the church, we have spent so much time inviting God to show up in our services that we have missed his invitations to show up in our cities. Because he's already out there doing the most incredible things, and is waiting for his children to partner with him. Jesus himself said, "My God, my Father, has always been working." SID: Tell me about someone that sat under your training and what they are doing today, someone that did not really move in miracles and evangelism in the past. ANDREA: There's a younger man. His name is Cecil King. He happens to be my roommate right now. And for several years, he had this deep hunger within him to see the supernatural

6 power of God in this life. So one time he joined me on the streets in order to see how I'm doing these things. And then Sunday he ended up praying for a guy from Russia. And what happened while he was praying for him, this guy from Russia just talked to him for 10 or even 15 minutes, and they were both weeping. And he got hit with the compassion of God, my friend Yakeen. And ever since when he prays for people, he sees how God is moving through him, because compassion is not only the thing that releases the power of God. It's also the thing that attracts the power of God. SID: Would you say this prayer with me out loud and mean it to the best of your ability? It's not an accident you're watching me right now. It's not an accident you're in our audience right now. Repeat this after me. Dear God, out loud. Audience: Dear God. SID: I'm a sinner. Audience: I'm a sinner. SID: I'm so sorry. Audience: I'm sorry. SID: I believe- Audience: I believe- SID:... that Jesus died for my sins. Audience:... that Jesus died for my sins. SID: And because of his death and resurrection- Audience: And because of his death and resurrection- SID:... God remembers my sins no more. Audience:... God remembers my sins no more. SID: I'm so clean. Audience: I'm so clean. SID: It's so good to be clean. Audience: It's so good to be clean.

7 SID: And now that I am clean- Audience: And now that I am clean- SID:... Jesus, come inside of me. Audience:... Jesus, come inside of me. SID: Take over my life. Audience: Take over my life. SID: I make you Lord of my life. Audience: I make you Lord of my life. SID: Amen. Audience: Amen. SID: All right. I know this. I know if you look in that camera and pray right now that the same love and the same compassion that is in you would be transferred for whoever wants that, like your roommate. Right now pray that. ANDREA: Yeah, Father, in Jesus name I pray that the same atmosphere that ended up in my room when I was 17 years old is now going to be released to every person that is watching Sid Roth, It's Supernatural. Father, I pray that the same fire you have for and released upon the apostles that has been passed on for 2,000 years. It's just going to be refreshed in a whole other dimension that we have never seen before. And, Lord, just release an impartation of what I have been experiencing over the last 10 years to every viewer, Lord, that my ceiling is becoming their floor and they're going to see God do the most incredible things through them, Lord. ANDREA: Thank you so much just for pouring out your love right now, Father. Thank you so much that you are releasing the faithfulness of Abraham, the faith of Moses, and the anointing that Jesus that carried that is now living inside of us. And, Lord, I pray for a supernatural empowering for every believer to step out and do what they were not thinking they were able to do right now in Jesus name that the grace of God would cover and surround them. Thank you, God. In Jesus name I pray that. SID: Hey, it's finished. ANDREA: If you don't have a gift of healing, that's totally okay, because the Messiah in you surely has it. So I totally believe 100% that everyone is called to do the supernatural. Jesus commanded his disciples to go out to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.
