In this episode, I speak with Apostle Stephen Strader, who was right in the middle of the Lakeland Outpouring Revival, which lasted about 180 days. You will get to hear firsthand about how angels were in the church, what they did, and the notable miracles that took place without the laying on of hands. This episode is like a page out of the book of Acts, except in our time, for such a time as this.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
M m m h h. Hallelujah, Thank you Lord, and
(00:33):
welcome to everybody who is listening. I'm Israel, your host
of Let's talk about Healing and with me today, I
have Apostle Steven Strader.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hello, everybody, I'm I'm I'm sharing it to my Facebook
right now.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I am sharing it with my Facebook people right now.
So you who are listening out there, you need to share. Share, share,
That's what it's about. Caring. Sharing is caring. Amen, So
let's get that. Let's let's let's share it to everybody.
I have Apostle Strada with me today and it gives
me such a great privilege because I know things about
(01:11):
him that he thinks I don't know, and I'm going
to be asking him a lot of stuff that that
are very interesting. And you know the purpose of this
this program really is to ignite your faith, to ignite
in God, and to ignite your faith in the God
(01:33):
of miracles. You know, in Exodus, God said I am
the God that heals you. And in some he said,
I send forth my word and I healed their disease.
And you know the in in one of the scriptures,
it says that there was non feeble among them. I
believe that's that's the book of.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I like that, especially as I'm getting older. I like
that scripture.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Amen, you know, so we want to get into into
that and just hear what Apostle Stephen Strada has got
to share with us. But I'm challenged because.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You know what, this young man.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Don't be fooled by what you see on the screen
because he's a lot younger than he actually is. But
you know what is written about him. It says this
about about Stephen. It says in X chapter six, verse eight.
Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, performer,
(02:25):
wonders and signs among the people.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Hallelujah's my favorite Bible verse.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
That you see, that's his favorite Bible verse. And I
happen to pick it up, you know. And it also
says this in X chapter six, verse five, the proposal
please the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full
of faith and of the Holy Spirit, gloried God. And
I thought I could not do this program without a
(02:54):
man called Stephen who is full.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Of You want, men, let me know you just a
little behind the scenes story.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Right, you go ahead and tell us a little.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Bit when I was born, my parents named me Stephen,
but they spelled it wrong. They spelled it v n.
They weren't thinking, they were just thinking Stephen, and they
spelled it ven. But the nurse when she wrote it
(03:25):
onto my birth certificate, she spelled it correctly, with a
pH eight, just like in the Bible. So the Holy
Spirit moved on that nurse to spell it correctly. I
did not find out until I was fifteen years old
(03:46):
about how my name was spelled, because my parents my
whole life, called me Stephen and spelled it with a vow.
But when I went to get my driver's license, I
discovered it was pH, just like in the Bible. And
you know what it made me mad? Wow, devil had
(04:09):
tried to steal my destiny, glory and show. From that
day forward, I told everybody, no, my name is pH
and just like in the Bible, Amen, that something is.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And that's why it pleased everybody that you had chosen.
It pleased God to choose you to be a man
full of the Holy Spirit. And with power, glory to God,
we're gonna have a lot of fun on this problem.
I believe that with all of my heart. And you know,
the thing that gets me about Apostles. Steven Straighter is
(04:46):
the first time he met me. He said something that
he says to almost am I allowed to say this
one or shall I skip this pod?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh? You can tell it, okay.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So I when he said, you're my favorite person in
the whole world.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But I always tell everybody it only lasts for ninety
seconds exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So after my is at a client.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's right, and then you have to re up. You
have to you have to make me your you know,
make yourself my favorite again every ninety seconds.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Amen. You know, I would like to start this program
off today because I was speaking to somebody. I think
you might have met her or your father met this
young lady. Well she's not so young. She's a bit
older than myself her. Then it's Wendy Alex.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And Wendy I met her one time in a green
room during the Florida out Point, the Lakeland out Point in.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So she I told her that, you know, this was
I think three days ago. I was talking to Wendy
Alex and I said, Wendy, I've got a special guest
on my program this week. His name is Stephen Straight
And she goes, oh, I know Steve, and you know
how she told her. Oh, I know, Stephen.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I would love for you to set up a meeting
with her because I would love to just talk with
her again, because you know that meeting in two thousand
and eight. Yeah, was historic, and that's what I want with. Yeah,
no time in history had anything like that ever happened
(06:31):
and has never happened again. It was a one time
book of acts, supernatural miracle that took place in two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Do you want to tell us about that? And then
after that, I would like you to tell us about
the miracle that happened in your church with the young
man who had the big star on his back the
size of a basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well, they were all happened during that time at the
same time. Wow, here's what happened. There was a Canadian
evangelist and he's very controversial today. He wasn't as controversial
when we invited him to our church. And one of
(07:14):
the reasons he was controversial is because he had tattoos.
From just below his ears, he had tattoos all over
his body, all the way down to his ankles.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And my thought was, Hey, let's invite this Todd Bentley guy.
That shakes his head like this, and miracles happened. Let's
invite him for signs and wonders, you know, revival. Three
or four days, Well Todd came to my church and
my congregation. I had just over three hundred people in
(07:49):
my building, but I sat about seven hundred plus people.
Well Todd came the first night and the building was full. Wow.
And from the time the music started playing, Todd and
I are sitting on the front row, the power of
God hits us, hits the entire congregation and apostibly Israel.
(08:14):
Let me tell you, in all my life, never before
and only a few times since, have I ever been
hit with the glory of God. From the first note
of the song, the glory of God came into the
(08:36):
room and miracles begin happening.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And we looked at each other, like, what is happening here?
I can't even remember if he even got to preach
that night. The miracles just started happening. And I'm talking
big miracles. I'm talking people coming out of the audience
saying I can see, I can hear, and without the
(09:04):
ling on the bend, this was incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So I'm going to give a real brief. I actually
have written a book called The Lakeland Outpourt and people
can write to me on my website and I'll give
you information how to get it. But what happened was
the second night, it happened all over again.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And I think it was on a Wednesday night, then
a Thursday night. And he turned to his worship leader,
who was a friend of mine. He said, do you
think Apostle Straighter would let us go on a few
more days? He said, oh, I know Straighter, you could go.
So he and I talked right before the Friday night
(09:51):
service and we told everybody were going another week. Wow,
and the crowd erupted. Now at time, there was a
small network called u stream. Right now today, everybody's familiar
with YouTube, right okay, and they're familiar with Facebook, but
(10:14):
nobody had heard of u stream. So we went live
on u stream and we literally broke their computers. Wow.
They had to buy bigger ones, and then bigger ones,
and then bigger ones. We were on the phone with
the owner of u stream and he says, what are
(10:38):
you doing? And then Facebook was carrying us live. Now
you know you're broadcast right here. You probably have somewhere
around one hundred people watching live, but then over the
next twenty four hours you'll have maybe one thousand that
will watch it. Yeah, apossibly Israel, we had one point
(11:03):
five million whoa five million? Wow, And it literally happened overnight.
You talk about going viral, and get this. We weren't
live for an hour or two hours. We were live
for five hours. Wow. Night Wow. All over the world
(11:28):
people were getting up at two, three, four, five o'clock
in the morning to watch. People in Europe were watching,
you know, all night long, because you're what five six
hours ahead of us.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yes, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So they were watching. Uh. There was a lady in
Wales who was a secretary for a friend of mine
who's a global evangelist. She has an autistic son. She
would sit in front of the TV night after night
after night, playing with her autistic son. After forty days,
(12:08):
he wasn't autistic anymore. Oh, and I can give you, literally,
I can give you thousands of testimonies like that. I'm
not talking hundreds, I'm talking thousands. And get this, thirty
five people were raised from the dead whoa never came
(12:30):
to the meeting.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
They would have family members would call us on the
cell phone, or would would send us notes on Facebook
or on U stream, and I would say, please pray.
My grandmother just died, or my sister was in a
car accident. She just died. And most of them we
(12:53):
tracked down as many as we could get a hold of.
Most of them were dead, no less than forty minutes.
Some were dead for two or three days.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, when I just got you, there's there's somebody here
who's watching, he said. I was there in Lakeland in
two thousand and eight, and he said I would watch
from twelve midnight to five am.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's Mark. I say, Mark.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, I've got Mark next week on this program.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Isn't that He can tell you what he saw after
after two weeks.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
There was an international television network called god TV. Have
you ever heard of that?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I know god TV because of winter windy.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, with windy, so god TV saw it. Yeah, and
they said, let's take this live. Well, nobody on this
planet as a live broadcast, except like sports or maybe
a news thing. If there's a catastrophe, okay, you don't
(14:07):
take a live church service because anything can happen. You
never know what's gonna go on. And Wendy and Alec
Wendy and I forgot her husband's name that was with
her at that time. Wendy took it live. Now here's
(14:28):
what she did. It was amazing. We went live for
five hours. Then they recorded that five hours and replayed
it again because of the time zones around the.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
World for four more hours. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So nine hours a day. And are you ready for this?
I am like a huge soccer match or you call
it football, and you're a huge football match will have
forty to fifty million viewers, I mean a real big one,
(15:07):
forty to fifty million. The Olympics forty to fifty million.
Our little church service in Lakeland, Florida, had forty million
viewers every day, every day. And that happened to me,
(15:27):
my little church. Wow. We literally moved seven times each
time we moved to a bigger venue three thousand, five thousand,
ten thousand, fifteen thousand, and we finally ended up building
a metal structure out at the Lakeland Airport and stretched
(15:53):
canvas over it and it seated ten thousand people and
we stayed there and Israel. It lasted one hundred and
eighty days, seven days a week.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then it just stopped. It just stopped.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But it was the most incredible thing. Oh, you wanted
me to tell the miracle of this of the before?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Is that that miracle? I would like everybody who is
watching to share the feeds, share it because I believe
what God is going to do when when when Apostle
Stevens shares this testimony is going to happen to a
lot of people. I literally was crying when I when
I was listening to this miracle this morning and just thinking, Lord, God,
(16:47):
you want to do something. It's an incredible testimony. Share
the share the link, Share the link. Share the link
because you could be holding back something that somebody else
is about to receive right now. So please do share
the link wherever you are, wherever you're listening from. I
know we've got people watching from Kenya. Thank you for
tuning in. Just share, Share, Share Apostle, go ahead. I've
(17:11):
got goosebum from Goosebumps waiting to hear it in person
in life.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, every day we started at ten in the morning, yeah,
and the service would last about four hours. Then we
would reset the building and it would start again at
seven o'clock in the evening and go untill eleven or twelve.
People would line up for three to five hours to
(17:41):
get inside the building. Wow, three to five hours ahead,
they'd be just camped outside the doors. Well, the only
time we could totally clean the building was from midnight
to about six am. The only time we can clean it.
(18:01):
So I hired my own teenage son. Yeah, and he's
a video gamer. You know what a video gamer is.
They played video games all night long, so they were
used to staying up late. So he got three or
four of his friends and they would clean the church
(18:24):
from one end to the other. Well, one night he
calls me, Well, one night he didn't show up at home.
He didn't come home. And it's about three, four o'clock
in the morning, and I'd gone up to get a
drink of water, go to the restroom or whatever, and
(18:45):
I glanced over in his room and he wasn't home.
So I called him on the cell phone. I said, Austin,
what's going on? This is Dad. This is Dad. It's
so wonderful. Food, Dad, so wonderful, I said, what's going on? Dad?
The angels?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
There's angels everywhere.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Dad, you can't believe it, I said, son, I'm an
ordained minister, and angels don't just show up to teenage kids.
He said, Dad, upstairs. I said, what are the angels doing.
He said, Dad, they're playing hide and go seek with us.
I said, oh my god, that's not in the Bible.
(19:31):
He said, We'll be vacuum in the floor. The angel
will come up, tap us on the shoulder, will turn
around and look, and then it'll go boom like that
and it will take off. I said, son, what are
you smoking? What are you guys on? I want you
(19:51):
to clean up that building and get home. And this
went on two, three, four nights. This went on, and listen,
I know my son. He doesn't make stuff up. And
when he would call me, he would be weeping under
the glory of God. This wasn't drugs, this wasn't his imagination.
(20:15):
So one night, it was like five in the morning
and he didn't call me, so I called him. I said,
what's going on now? He said, Dad, you're not going
to believe this. He said. Two students from the Bible
College got woke up at two in the morning and
felt like they were supposed to pray for the revival,
(20:38):
So they drove down here to the church and they
were out in the parking lot marching back and forth praying,
and we saw him out there and we said, what
are you guys doing. They said, Oh, we're from the
Bible School. God woke us up. He told us to
come down here and pray. And my son, Austin, says, well,
come on inside and pray. So he invited the two
(21:01):
Bible School students to come inside the building to pray.
And when they walked in, my son hands them a
squirt bottle of window cleaner and some paper towels. He said,
while you're praying, he says, why don't you wash all
the mirrors in the ladies bathroom? Because the ladies bathroom
(21:21):
had big, big mirrors of the wady. He wasn't in
there twenty minutes and all of a sudden, and there's
like eight guys now having to clean the building. Right,
and the guys are scattered throughout the whole building. They
hear these screams coming from the lady's bathroom, I mean
(21:45):
burning screams.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
What Bernie got Bernie?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
They all come rushing in there, and they thought the
guy had accidentally squirted the chemicals in his eyes. Oh yeah,
They couldn't figure out. Why would he be screaming about
window cleaner? And they came running in there and he's
ripping his shirt off. He says, look at my back.
(22:11):
My back is burning. Look at my back. And what
had happened was that years before he had cancer and
they gave him radiation treatments and they burned a large
scar on his back, larger than a basketball.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And so he had deep scars on his back.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And he said, what happened while he was cleaning the windows?
He said, he felt an angel come up behind him,
oh and put it's its wing brushed across its back.
And when it did, he said, it burned really bad.
He said it hurt.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
But he took his shirt off, looked in the in
the mirror. You know, he's looking in the mirror. No scar.
The scar disappeared. Now that's not all the story. Are
you ready for this?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm ready. I'm ready. And make sure you shed because
this is where it what's interesting. You need to share
the link. Shd the link with somebody in hospitals. Shad
the link with someone because this is where it gets powerful.
I was knocked off my socks when I heard this,
like literally.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So the evangelist brings my son and this young man
up on the platform the next night and they tell
the story. When he's telling the story, the power of
God hits the entire congregation and people started screaming, screaming
(23:53):
in the audience, my scar is gone? Why star is gone?
I mean they were rolling up their sleeves and like
they had had a accident and they had a big
scar on their elbow. It was gone, totally, just wiped away.
Another lady's scar down the side of her neck like this,
(24:13):
it was gone. And then we started getting emails and
text messages and posts and social media. Thousands of people's
scars disappeared instantly while they were watching God TV or
Facebook or U stream. The scars just disappeared. Well months later,
(24:41):
I was in Bill Johnson's pulpit, you know Bill Johnson
with Bethel. Yes, okay, I was preaching at Bethel, and
I was telling this story. And his number five men,
who was in charge of all the administration, and his
name was Paul man Warring. Okay, well, Paul is now
(25:05):
in Europe. Okay. Well, Paul was there that night on
the front row. And Paul jumps up in the middle
of my sermon, he pulls up his shirt and shows
his stomach.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Wow, come on.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
He said, I had a radical appendix removed. And he
said I had a giant scar. He said, it's gone.
It's it's gone. I mean the crowd went nuts, because
you know the Bethel crowd, they get.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Excited about then they get excited at us these things.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes, ajah, So that's that's what happened. Hey, Oh, you're
not going to believe this story. A lady, that's the lie.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
That's the lady was watching the replay on God at
like four in the morning or five in the morning,
and she's getting ready to go to work, and she's
a nurse.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, and she is looking at this and she's going,
I have a I have a radical scar on my
belly from I think it was.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
A direct to me. I think I read about this some.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Kind of bad operation, but they had to make it
bigger and bigger, and it was so ugly. And she
gets in her car and she's driving down the highway
at fifty miles an hour. I don't know how fast
that is in European, but it's fast. And she's driving
(26:45):
and she glances over and she sees the church. She
had just never seen the church before, and she saw
the church and she said, oh, Jesus, that's that's the
church where the scars are disappearing. And she takes one
hand places it on her belly, So Jesus, would you
do that for me? And while she's driving at high speed,
(27:11):
she felt the power of God hit her belly. She
pulls up her shirt and the scar is gone.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Fifty miles an hour driving by the church.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Wow, powerful, powerful, powerful? Powerful? Do you know? I just sense,
you know, as I was listening to this this morning,
and I said, I want to ask Apostle Stephen about it,
because I want the people of God to know the
power of God, the power of even being in a
(27:45):
setup like this, being online listening this. What is happening
right now is the equivalent of you know, two thousand
and eight people watching God TV and hearing of these things.
And you are right now, if you watching, you are
hearing this right now. And I'm thinking, perhaps you have
a scar. This can be a physical scar, This can
(28:06):
be a scar on your heart with a lot of
hurt and pain. And I just want Apostle Stephen right
now to just stretch his hand out to everybody who's listening,
and just pray over everyone and let God move. Just
trust him to do what he did in Lateland and
what he did with that woman with the scar with
fullman wearing and all of those people that were touched
(28:28):
in that movement. For you to receive your miracle in
the name of Jesus, go ahead, apostle.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
When I was a little boy, we were watching Oral
Roberts on a black and white TV, and Oral Roberts
would stretch his big, giant hands towards the TV like this,
and he would tell people, get out of your chair,
come over, put your hands on the TV, and God's
(28:58):
power will go in to you. And then when I
went to Oral Roberts University for seminary, I learned it firsthand.
And Oral has laid his hands on my head, as
well as other great men and women of God have
laid hands on me. Richard has laid hands on me,
Benny hands laid hands on me. That doesn't make me
(29:21):
a big deal, But what that does is let you
know there's a transfer that takes place. I think it's
in Hebrews too, where it talks about the doctrine. Maybe
it's in Timothy, but you can look it up. It's
called the doctrine of the laying on of hands. They
have laid hands on me. So right now I'm asking you,
(29:45):
if it's on your if it's on your smartphone, take
your hand and place it right on my picture, right
on my hands, and make it a point of contact. Okay,
nothing spooky or god about this. It's a point of contact.
The woman with the issue of blood just touched the
(30:05):
hem of his garment. The Apostle Paul sent forth handkerchiefs
from his body. So touching my hands is like a
digital prayer cloth. Okay. So Father, in the name of Jesus,
I release the healing power of God over everybody watching
(30:27):
right now, in the name of Jesus. As they touch
their screen, I pray your anointing will flow right through
my hands into their hands, and your healing power will
touch them. I come against demonic forces. I come against
(30:49):
torments of the mind. I come against childhood dramas. I
come against any kind of spirits of infirmity and the
name of Jesus and Apostle Israel. Right when I said that,
I was reminded that a lot of people don't understand
(31:15):
that God wants everybody. A lot of churches, a lot
of preachers teach that God uses healing or uses sickness
or disease or accidents to teach us something. You know,
the scripture says all things work together are good. So
(31:39):
they teach that. But let me tell you something that
is a false doctrine. It's a doctrine, and one of
my jobs as an apostle is to correct for men. Doctrine.
The Bible says God uses bad situations, but he does
(32:01):
not cause then situations. And there's evil in this world.
There's going to be tribulations, there's going to be problems.
We have evil leaders in our governments. We have evil
people out there on the streets. We have gangbangers. We
(32:23):
have evil people that are greedy, have corporate greed. Bad
things happen to good people. But listen to me. Jesus
was standing in the temple, he was discipling his disciples,
he was training them, and he said, look at that
(32:45):
woman right over there. And they all looked, and here
comes this little sweet lady. Let's call her a church lady.
Let's call her a sweet intercessor in the church. She's
all about oh her, And she's walking through the temples
seeing her prayers. Jesus said, look at that. That's a
(33:07):
spirit of infirmity. And you can just see Jesus' face.
Jesus God angry. There's a righteous anger. And Jesus got anger, angry,
and he said, look at that. He said, that's the
spirit of infirmity, and she is a daughter of angry.
(33:30):
And he said, that is.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Not that's right.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's what Jesus says right now to whatever's tormenting you,
whatever's causing sickness, whatever's causing infirmity in your body, Jesus says,
that's not right now. Apostibly is well, I'm going to
say something that it's kind of controversial, so you may
(33:57):
have to straighten this out in next week's program. Okay,
do you know Jesus doesn't heal people today? Did you
know that he does? Jesus took all power and authority
and he gave it to you, to me. He told
(34:20):
you and me go make disciples, heal the sick, cast
out devils, and raised the dead. He said, you do it.
I've given you the authority, and now you do it.
So we've always said, oh Jesus would you please heal
(34:42):
my friend. That's not scriptural. Okay. Now, God, in his
mercy he goes ahead and helps us. Okay, but that's
not scriptural. What's really scriptural is I heal you in
that name.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Exactly like what happened with Peter and John at the
temple beautiful, when at the gate beautiful, when they saw
the man, they said, silver and gold I do not have,
but such as I have, I give and in the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk.
And later and later they said, it is faith in
(35:26):
the name, faith in the name of Jesus. How do
we have? So let's tread that out right now we've straightened.
We got two.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
We have two apostles here right now, and we're correcting this.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
God, Praise God, Praise God.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I was completely just you know, like I was just
completely so amazed at that testimony of what happened in Lateland.
But you have been literally around owned the globe apostle.
I can't keep buck with you. Sometimes I'm trying. I
think you're still in the States, and then the next minute,
(36:09):
you little your little icon is in Africa somewhere, and
you're everywhere and I know that you recently had a
great move in Australia with charismatic Catholics.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Wow, yes, yeah, we let me see if I've got
that slide here I'm going through. These are slides from
my trip to Ireland last year. Well this this was
from India. I'll slip to the side. You see that
right there. Okay, let me tell you what happened. This
is incredible. It was Sunday morning, Resurrection Sunday Morning, the
(36:45):
biggest service of the year, right, and I was being
hosted by a very large church. I mean it probably
has fifteen hundred people in India. And he said, he said,
I want you to just do communion at my church
(37:06):
and then I'm going to take you to the inner city.
I'm going to take you down to the slums of Mumbai, India,
and I'm thinking on Resurrection Sunday. Okay, well, let's go.
And I went into these backstreets, little tiny narrow ways.
(37:31):
Literally the mirrors on the side of the car were
that far from the wall. I'm not exaggerating. If that
driver moved two inches one way or the other, he
would have wiped his mirrors out. And we're going down
and We're going deep, deep into the slums. I'm telling
(37:55):
you there were animals. There was open sewers along the road,
little naked babies running through. This was the slums. We
come to this church and we get out of the
car and I'm looking all around. I don't see any church. Now.
I said, where's the church? And they said it's up there.
(38:17):
It's up there. And I look way up there and
there's this little sign, you know, a little sign maybe
just as wide as my hands could reach. It said
gospel something.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
It was all in Hindu. I had to climb up
two flights, two stories high on these little narrow stairs
that were leaning about like like a ladder, you know
(38:53):
how you would lean a ladder up against a building,
and these little tiny stairs. And I had to climb
two stories up on these little tiny stairs. I came
through that door. Can you see that door on the
behind me. I came through that door, and this room
was small. It maybe seated forty people. They had removed
(39:18):
all the chairs and look at him. There was sixty
people jammed into that room on Resurrection Sunday and the
glory of God fell. The power of God was so wonderful,
but let me tell you what happened to me. When
you go into an Indian church, you have to take
(39:39):
his shoes off tradition. Part of it is Asian culture,
but part of it is because Moses had to take
his shoes off in the presence of the Lord. So
I had to take my shoes off. Well, I have
to fight neuropathy, which is a burning, tingling thing on
the Bible. Them on my feet and I'm going, oh Jesus,
(40:02):
I take my shoes off. I'm going to be in pain.
But I did it supernaturally. All pain was gone the
entire time my shoes were off. It was supernatural. It
did not hurt me. And after the service, I'm putting
my shoes on and two teenage Indian children, I mean
(40:26):
they were so small. They came and knelt down in
front of me, and I'm thinking, oh, they want me
to give them a blessing, because a lot of countries
that go to the children will kneel in front of
me and they want a blessing from the priest. Okay,
So I start to reach out and bless them, and
(40:49):
I realized they were tying my shoes. Oh my goodness,
Apostle Israel. These precious children had nothing to give me, nothing,
They couldn't give me anything. So they gave me honor.
And they were tying my shoes. I'm telling you, I
(41:13):
don't know why to this day every time I tell
that story the paragraph right now.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
And so then after they tied my shoes, then I
blessed them and I gave them the apostle blessing. And
it's because you know, the scripture says, you give a
cup of cold water to a prophet, you get a
prophet's reward. So they were honoring the man of God.
(41:42):
And then I blessed him. Wow, I'm feeling it right now.
Hang on, give me a moment.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
He's as well.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
So that's my story from Resurrection Sunday. And then let
me see where am i here? Okay, here, I'm in
Nagaland where up in the northern part of India. All
those people love Jesus. They love Jesus. And then look
at those faces. Aren't they sweethearts? I mean they just
(42:15):
Oh this little girl here, let me get out of
the way, you say, thistle girl. She saw Jesus. She
was having an open vision of Jesus. And it was
during communion. We were serving communion and people started saying angels, angels,
(42:36):
I can see angels. And then another guy jumps up
and says, look, look, there's two angels on either side
of the stage. And I said, what are the angels doing.
He said, they're standing at attention. He said, he said,
they're military angels and they're standing at attention. And I'm thinking, wow,
this is interesting. And then I looked and right in
(42:59):
front of me was that little girl right there.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
And I see, if I get out.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Of the way, there that little girl weeping tears coming
in and she's looking past me and she sees Jesus
standing between the two angels. Guards go and I and
I asked herself, what is Jesus talking to you? I said,
(43:27):
what does Jesus say?
Speaker 1 (43:30):
He loves me? I love you, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
I'm telling you. Everybody in the room hit the floor.
I went to my knees. It was it was incredible.
I never had that happen in any meeting I've been in. UH.
That was that was powerful. Okay, Uh, there's another UH
that was a big convention in India and I'm trying
(43:58):
to get to UH. There's some more of the people
in India. There it is, there's Australia. Can you see that?
It was a big open air meeting. We prayed for
twelve hours, twelve hours in this big downtown park in Sydney, Australia.
(44:20):
We worship, we would pray, we would make declarations and
then we would preach the gospel for about ten minutes.
And there was about six of us and we kept rotating.
So that happened in Sydney. But now here's what you
asked me about. See the cross on the.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
Back and see that one.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
This is a Catholic charismatic change. They love Jesus. They're Catholic.
They have Mass at nine am and then at ten
fifteen they have a joint service with the local Panic church.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
So yeah, charismatic church. I've never heard of this. Every Sunday,
the Catholic priest and the and the Pentecostal pastor hold
church together on Sunday morning. Now here's what was so
mean about this? I had what I would. I don't
(45:31):
want to use the word normal, because nothing's ever normal
with me. But I was having a normal uh healing
Sunday morning healing service. And after I prayed for almost everybody.
I stopped and I could feel the Holy Spirit shifting.
I just stopped, and I'm looking around, and I could
(45:55):
tell the pastor was thinking, well, is straight or finished
or is he doing? And I stopped and I said, Pastor,
I hope this is okay. But I said, I feel
God is calling several young people into the ministry right now.
He's calling them. He said, some of them have been
(46:20):
dealing with this call to the ministry. And I said,
God wants them to make a public declaration that they're
giving their lives for full time service to God. Pastor
do it. Twelve young people walked across the stage, face
(46:44):
the congregation and the pastor, and I laid hands on
them and anointed them and called them into full time service. Wow.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
I mean wow, I'm over here as well. So this
is this is this is like a healing service. I'm
feeling like a healing service, honestly.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
And and you know what apossible Israel. I've never done
that in my wowfe I've never done that. I have
called out maybe one person that I felt, you know,
was being but I didn't just make an open altar
crawl like that. So that was incredible and so now
(47:35):
I'm back to my pictures in Ireland Christmas.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
But is a mind blowing and this is what I
enjoy most about about having I would call you guys
like God's generals. You guys have seen things that the
younger generation read about in the Book of Acts. And
having this program brings the reality of who God is,
you know, and about who the Holy Spirit is in
(48:03):
the church and what he causes us to become, you know.
And I'm seeing that doctor Marc van Gandhi is saying
blessings guys. He says that you know you're going to
catch it on repay. And I know you guys are
good friends.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Yes, Mark and I are. You know. It's funny. I
don't think Mark and I have ever had a meal.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Happens next year.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Yeah, but we are so close in the spirit because
we've been at conferences together, We've talked on the phone,
we've texted back and forth. But I feel a powerful
connection to him, and I know that he's a spiritual
father in your life. And uh, I just appreciate brother Mark.
(48:49):
He he he's a man of God. And you can tell,
you can tell. It's like when my wife and I
met you at that conference. You were actually representing him
at a conference. And I said, now, I said, Janice, please,
(49:10):
because my wife, you know, she knows me and and
she sees me talking to this beautiful lady, and I said, Janie,
listen to me. I know apostle Israel is beautiful. But
I said, that isn't why I'm talking to her. I said,
(49:30):
I feel a strong connection in the Holy Spirit. I
feel an anointing on her life. And I am attracted
to other apostles. I am. I've always been that way.
If a man or woman of God is an apostle,
(49:51):
I have an attraction. I just want to sit and
talk to him. And so then my wife came over
and she met you, and then she said, yes, you.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
Know that's that's amazing, and I really do honor doctor Mark.
And we had a powerful revival meeting in Darby last
month in July with doctor Yan Gunfeld, and it was yeah,
I know where you were, and you know what, this
is an opportunity to say to you next year in
the end of July in English here praise God. Yes,
(50:29):
So I've got just one little testimony that I want
to share with people before before our time you know,
comes to an end real quick.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
We had a healing service last week Sunday, Apostle Stephen,
and it was an online healing service. And I know
a lot of people, you know, they don't catch on
quickly to what God can do in the realm of
the spirit, atmospherically, you know. But I like what what
Roberts lead and doctor us Liden says. He says, apostles
(51:02):
opened doors that no one else can open. You know,
we are.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Those people that you know. I have been friends with
him since I was seventeen years No, I was twenty
years old and he was seventeen. That's the first time
he preached in my dad's church.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Well, you know, for those of you who are listening,
the Apostle Stephen's father, Carl Strada, was an amazing man
of God. When I listened to Apostle Stephen, it's almost
like I'm listening to his dad. But with the punch.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
I'm happy to report to you today that God is
tell me wrong.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
God. So we had this meeting on Saturday on Sunday
last week, and there was a dear lady who tuned
in from France and her son Apostle was in itu
intensive care in France, and he was very very unwell.
He was hooked up onto all these lines. He had
all sorts of things being pumped into his body. And
(52:08):
she came out of her son's room to come outside
with the reception was better because when she was in there,
we could we could just see things happening in and out.
The person would come in and then she eventually decided
to come outside to get a better reception. Reception, so
she came onto the meeting and her video came on
and she had two of her other sons with her,
(52:31):
and she told us about her son, and we prayed
with her. And I'll tell you this for those of
you who are listening to both apostles Stephen and I,
you know I gave a word of I gave a
word to this lady. And you know how the Bible
says when you when you honor the Apostle, you get
the apostles reward or a righteous man or the prophet,
(52:51):
or whoever the person is that you're listening to. So
I gave that word, and I said, I want you
to go back into intensive care unit. I want you
to lay your hands on your son's chest and three times.
I repeated, just three times. You are going to say
you are healed in Jesus name. You are healed in
Jesus name. You are healed in Jesus' name. Also, by
(53:13):
the time, by the time night fell last Sunday, the
man who we prayed for was out of intensive care units.
He was out, and I had an opportunity to speak
to him. The day before yesterday. All the machinery was off, everything.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
Was And the it stands right now is.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
That he is being discharged. He's going to be discharged.
Can you imagine the power of God and what God
can do over the airways, over the airways.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
So and let me tell you, let me tell you
a little secret. Anybody can do this. If you'll take
your cell phone and you text a message that says
be healed in the name of Jesus to your friend.
They take the cell phone and place it on their
(54:11):
loved one's body. It becomes a digital cloth. I do
it all the time. I do it all the time.
I say, be healed in the name of Jesus. They
put the cell phone on their friend's body and God
heals them.
Speaker 1 (54:28):
So that's a little secret. Any last, any last, any
last things that you want to tell the people that
are listening, appossibly with like five minutes left.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
Yes, I was just I was looking at my if
I can get my scriptures open Isaiah fifty three. Everybody
knows this scripture. Okay, surely he's born our griefs and
carried our sorrows. We did esteem him stricken, smitten my God,
and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He
(55:03):
was bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement for our
piece was upon him, and by his stripes, we are healed.
And then and in one Peter it talks about we
were healed. So in the Old Covenant it was looking
(55:26):
towards the cross. In the New Covenant, we look back
at the cross. Now, everybody watching, we are all three
part beans. We have a soul, We have a spirit
man that's eternal. Everybody, we are spirit creatures. We will
live eternally, either in heaven or hell. Then we have
(55:51):
a physical body. I call this my earth suit. Now,
my earth suit looks different than yours. Okay, oh you're
over here, you're on that side. Your earth suit looks
(56:13):
different than me. That's the way we identify each other
is by our earth suit. Then we have a soul,
which is a mind, will and emotions, and that distinguishes
us as a human being. Okay, we have a mind,
(56:34):
will in emotions. Now, when we become born again, the
Bible says we become a new creation in a very
real way, our DNA is changed. Now I'm not necessarily
talking about our physical DNA like a scientist would look at.
(56:56):
But your spirit man becomes born again. When the Bible
says we are healed, we were healed, it's talking about
our spirit man. So our spirit man is healed. We
are healed. I can sit here right now, tell everybody
(57:18):
watching you are already healed. That's a fact. Okay, that
is a theological fact. Now the problem is we have
to deal with our earth suit, and we have to
deal with our souls. So the whole thing is as
(57:41):
we pray, as we are discipled, as we study God's word,
we want our spirit man to influence and begin to
dictate to our soul and our body. Hey, you guys,
come into alignment with God's word. You come into alignment
(58:03):
with the Holy Spirit that's in me, and so you
get healed body, You get healed right now you come
into alignment. And if you study Isaiah fifty three, four
and five, it's talking about physical healing and it's talking
about emotional healing. Both. It's talking about both. So you've
(58:30):
got to know that you are already healed. Now you
just need to walk out that healing, walk out that salvation,
walk out that deliverance. So that's my theology for the
ending of the program.
Speaker 1 (58:49):
But I love it. I love it. I love it.
You know, for those of you who have been watching
and you know you want to listen to this over
and over and over again. You know that after a
certain amount of time, Facebook actually delete our live videos.
I think we all know this now. So but you
can continue to listen to this on podcast. So if
(59:11):
you're on Spotify or you are on Apple Podcasts, it's
gonna be on there. All you need to look for is.
Speaker 2 (59:19):
Doesn't it stay on YouTube?
Speaker 1 (59:21):
Stays on Yes, So you can also just you know,
if you want to listen to it while you're driving.
I think in a few days time, it will be
on Apple podcast it will be on Spotify, and it
will also be on Amazon's Audible in a few days time.
So a few days time, if you want to listen
to this again and you don't fancy going on Facebook
and you just want to listen to it, just look
(59:42):
up apost On Israel, viviet On on these powerful podcast
channels and you'll find it's there and you can listen
to it again and again and again, and certainly on
a Blaze International dot com. Apostle Steven Strader is also
going to put it up on his channels also for
those people who want to listen to it again and again,
because we really want the people of God to be
(01:00:05):
blessed with these messages. Amen, and I can make you enough.
It's exactly one hour.
Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Glory.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
I cannot thank you enough. You know, sometimes the hour
just since like ten minutes, and I think I wish
to do it again and again, Glory to God. And
I have no doubt that we are going to do
this again because I just feel that, you know, we
have got so much more to share with God's people
and get them touched yield. And you know what, Apostle
(01:00:36):
states Steven, We've got a revival meeting next year in
the end of July, the last week of July, and
I'm already extending an invitation to you if you're not
in some fantastic all right, some fantastic place you are,
I want you to be in England and that same
(01:00:57):
Lateland atmosphere too, English in July, the end of July,
and I can tell you those dates right now, and
for those of you listening.
Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
You can put them in your I'm gonna let me
tell you what those dates are, because my diary is right.
Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
Here in front of me, and I think doctor Mark
is going to be there as well. So we're going
to start on the twenty seventh of July all the
way to the first of August.
Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
So it's gonna be a longer revival.
Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Okay, you got weary more about it, so you now.
Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
I just I just want to know how are they
going to handle me and you and all in the same.
Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Oh my goodness, they better get their socks real tight on,
you know, otherwise no glory to glory to God. So
let's just pray to end this program today. Father, in
the name of Jesus, we just want to thank you
and give you all the glory with thank you, Father,
for everybody who has been under the sound of our voices. Lord,
we thank you that miracles testimony is signs and wonders,
(01:02:07):
Father God, will stream forth because of our obedience to
come gay, Father God and minister to your people. Father God,
in the mighty name of Jesus, Father, we thank you.
A lot more people will get to hear this message today. Father.
Let them take each Father God as the word that
has come from your very mouth. God. Because these things
(01:02:29):
we have not fabricated, we have not made them up.
It is because of your power that it happened in Lateland.
It is because of your power that it is happening
even in the church right now. Father, in the name
of Jesus, we thank you for everyone that you have
healed to this world. We give you all the praise
and glory in the mighty and messless name of Jesus.
(01:02:50):
And God's people say the big Amen and Lord God,
Praise God. So Apostle Stephen, I am going to be
speaking to you shortly when we go off air, and
we just say goodbye to our Facebook users and our
YouTube users and all the all the channels where you
(01:03:11):
guys are watching us from God bless you and Shalom shalom.
Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Let's see h
M m m h h. Hallelujah, Thank you Lord, and
(00:33):
welcome to everybody who is listening. I'm Israel, your host
of Let's talk about Healing and with me today, I
have Apostle Steven Strader.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hello, everybody, I'm I'm I'm sharing it to my Facebook
right now.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I am sharing it with my Facebook people right now.
So you who are listening out there, you need to share. Share, share,
That's what it's about. Caring. Sharing is caring. Amen, So
let's get that. Let's let's let's share it to everybody.
I have Apostle Strada with me today and it gives
me such a great privilege because I know things about
(01:11):
him that he thinks I don't know, and I'm going
to be asking him a lot of stuff that that
are very interesting. And you know the purpose of this
this program really is to ignite your faith, to ignite
in God, and to ignite your faith in the God
(01:33):
of miracles. You know, in Exodus, God said I am
the God that heals you. And in some he said,
I send forth my word and I healed their disease.
And you know the in in one of the scriptures,
it says that there was non feeble among them. I
believe that's that's the book of.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I like that, especially as I'm getting older. I like
that scripture.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Amen, you know, so we want to get into into
that and just hear what Apostle Stephen Strada has got
to share with us. But I'm challenged because.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You know what, this young man.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Don't be fooled by what you see on the screen
because he's a lot younger than he actually is. But
you know what is written about him. It says this
about about Stephen. It says in X chapter six, verse eight.
Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, performer,
(02:25):
wonders and signs among the people.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Hallelujah's my favorite Bible verse.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
That you see, that's his favorite Bible verse. And I
happen to pick it up, you know. And it also
says this in X chapter six, verse five, the proposal
please the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full
of faith and of the Holy Spirit, gloried God. And
I thought I could not do this program without a
(02:54):
man called Stephen who is full.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Of You want, men, let me know you just a
little behind the scenes story.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Right, you go ahead and tell us a little.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Bit when I was born, my parents named me Stephen,
but they spelled it wrong. They spelled it v n.
They weren't thinking, they were just thinking Stephen, and they
spelled it ven. But the nurse when she wrote it
(03:25):
onto my birth certificate, she spelled it correctly, with a
pH eight, just like in the Bible. So the Holy
Spirit moved on that nurse to spell it correctly. I
did not find out until I was fifteen years old
(03:46):
about how my name was spelled, because my parents my
whole life, called me Stephen and spelled it with a vow.
But when I went to get my driver's license, I
discovered it was pH, just like in the Bible. And
you know what it made me mad? Wow, devil had
(04:09):
tried to steal my destiny, glory and show. From that
day forward, I told everybody, no, my name is pH
and just like in the Bible, Amen, that something is.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And that's why it pleased everybody that you had chosen.
It pleased God to choose you to be a man
full of the Holy Spirit. And with power, glory to God,
we're gonna have a lot of fun on this problem.
I believe that with all of my heart. And you know,
the thing that gets me about Apostles. Steven Straighter is
(04:46):
the first time he met me. He said something that
he says to almost am I allowed to say this
one or shall I skip this pod?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh? You can tell it, okay.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So I when he said, you're my favorite person in
the whole world.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But I always tell everybody it only lasts for ninety
seconds exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So after my is at a client.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's right, and then you have to re up. You
have to you have to make me your you know,
make yourself my favorite again every ninety seconds.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Amen. You know, I would like to start this program
off today because I was speaking to somebody. I think
you might have met her or your father met this
young lady. Well she's not so young. She's a bit
older than myself her. Then it's Wendy Alex.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And Wendy I met her one time in a green
room during the Florida out Point, the Lakeland out Point in.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So she I told her that, you know, this was
I think three days ago. I was talking to Wendy
Alex and I said, Wendy, I've got a special guest
on my program this week. His name is Stephen Straight
And she goes, oh, I know Steve, and you know
how she told her. Oh, I know, Stephen.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I would love for you to set up a meeting
with her because I would love to just talk with
her again, because you know that meeting in two thousand
and eight. Yeah, was historic, and that's what I want with. Yeah,
no time in history had anything like that ever happened
(06:31):
and has never happened again. It was a one time
book of acts, supernatural miracle that took place in two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Do you want to tell us about that? And then
after that, I would like you to tell us about
the miracle that happened in your church with the young
man who had the big star on his back the
size of a basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well, they were all happened during that time at the
same time. Wow, here's what happened. There was a Canadian
evangelist and he's very controversial today. He wasn't as controversial
when we invited him to our church. And one of
(07:14):
the reasons he was controversial is because he had tattoos.
From just below his ears, he had tattoos all over
his body, all the way down to his ankles.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And my thought was, Hey, let's invite this Todd Bentley guy.
That shakes his head like this, and miracles happened. Let's
invite him for signs and wonders, you know, revival. Three
or four days, Well Todd came to my church and
my congregation. I had just over three hundred people in
(07:49):
my building, but I sat about seven hundred plus people.
Well Todd came the first night and the building was full. Wow.
And from the time the music started playing, Todd and
I are sitting on the front row, the power of
God hits us, hits the entire congregation and apostibly Israel.
(08:14):
Let me tell you, in all my life, never before
and only a few times since, have I ever been
hit with the glory of God. From the first note
of the song, the glory of God came into the
(08:36):
room and miracles begin happening.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And we looked at each other, like, what is happening here?
I can't even remember if he even got to preach
that night. The miracles just started happening. And I'm talking
big miracles. I'm talking people coming out of the audience
saying I can see, I can hear, and without the
(09:04):
ling on the bend, this was incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So I'm going to give a real brief. I actually
have written a book called The Lakeland Outpourt and people
can write to me on my website and I'll give
you information how to get it. But what happened was
the second night, it happened all over again.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And I think it was on a Wednesday night, then
a Thursday night. And he turned to his worship leader,
who was a friend of mine. He said, do you
think Apostle Straighter would let us go on a few
more days? He said, oh, I know Straighter, you could go.
So he and I talked right before the Friday night
(09:51):
service and we told everybody were going another week. Wow,
and the crowd erupted. Now at time, there was a
small network called u stream. Right now today, everybody's familiar
with YouTube, right okay, and they're familiar with Facebook, but
(10:14):
nobody had heard of u stream. So we went live
on u stream and we literally broke their computers. Wow.
They had to buy bigger ones, and then bigger ones,
and then bigger ones. We were on the phone with
the owner of u stream and he says, what are
(10:38):
you doing? And then Facebook was carrying us live. Now
you know you're broadcast right here. You probably have somewhere
around one hundred people watching live, but then over the
next twenty four hours you'll have maybe one thousand that
will watch it. Yeah, apossibly Israel, we had one point
(11:03):
five million whoa five million? Wow, And it literally happened overnight.
You talk about going viral, and get this. We weren't
live for an hour or two hours. We were live
for five hours. Wow. Night Wow. All over the world
(11:28):
people were getting up at two, three, four, five o'clock
in the morning to watch. People in Europe were watching,
you know, all night long, because you're what five six
hours ahead of us.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yes, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So they were watching. Uh. There was a lady in
Wales who was a secretary for a friend of mine
who's a global evangelist. She has an autistic son. She
would sit in front of the TV night after night
after night, playing with her autistic son. After forty days,
(12:08):
he wasn't autistic anymore. Oh, and I can give you, literally,
I can give you thousands of testimonies like that. I'm
not talking hundreds, I'm talking thousands. And get this, thirty
five people were raised from the dead whoa never came
(12:30):
to the meeting.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
They would have family members would call us on the
cell phone, or would would send us notes on Facebook
or on U stream, and I would say, please pray.
My grandmother just died, or my sister was in a
car accident. She just died. And most of them we
(12:53):
tracked down as many as we could get a hold of.
Most of them were dead, no less than forty minutes.
Some were dead for two or three days.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, when I just got you, there's there's somebody here
who's watching, he said. I was there in Lakeland in
two thousand and eight, and he said I would watch
from twelve midnight to five am.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's Mark. I say, Mark.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, I've got Mark next week on this program.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Isn't that He can tell you what he saw after
after two weeks.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
There was an international television network called god TV. Have
you ever heard of that?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I know god TV because of winter windy.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, with windy, so god TV saw it. Yeah, and
they said, let's take this live. Well, nobody on this
planet as a live broadcast, except like sports or maybe
a news thing. If there's a catastrophe, okay, you don't
(14:07):
take a live church service because anything can happen. You
never know what's gonna go on. And Wendy and Alec
Wendy and I forgot her husband's name that was with
her at that time. Wendy took it live. Now here's
(14:28):
what she did. It was amazing. We went live for
five hours. Then they recorded that five hours and replayed
it again because of the time zones around the.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
World for four more hours. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So nine hours a day. And are you ready for this?
I am like a huge soccer match or you call
it football, and you're a huge football match will have
forty to fifty million viewers, I mean a real big one,
(15:07):
forty to fifty million. The Olympics forty to fifty million.
Our little church service in Lakeland, Florida, had forty million
viewers every day, every day. And that happened to me,
(15:27):
my little church. Wow. We literally moved seven times each
time we moved to a bigger venue three thousand, five thousand,
ten thousand, fifteen thousand, and we finally ended up building
a metal structure out at the Lakeland Airport and stretched
(15:53):
canvas over it and it seated ten thousand people and
we stayed there and Israel. It lasted one hundred and
eighty days, seven days a week.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then it just stopped. It just stopped.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But it was the most incredible thing. Oh, you wanted
me to tell the miracle of this of the before?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Is that that miracle? I would like everybody who is
watching to share the feeds, share it because I believe
what God is going to do when when when Apostle
Stevens shares this testimony is going to happen to a
lot of people. I literally was crying when I when
I was listening to this miracle this morning and just thinking, Lord, God,
(16:47):
you want to do something. It's an incredible testimony. Share
the share the link, Share the link. Share the link
because you could be holding back something that somebody else
is about to receive right now. So please do share
the link wherever you are, wherever you're listening from. I
know we've got people watching from Kenya. Thank you for
tuning in. Just share, Share, Share Apostle, go ahead. I've
(17:11):
got goosebum from Goosebumps waiting to hear it in person
in life.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, every day we started at ten in the morning, yeah,
and the service would last about four hours. Then we
would reset the building and it would start again at
seven o'clock in the evening and go untill eleven or twelve.
People would line up for three to five hours to
(17:41):
get inside the building. Wow, three to five hours ahead,
they'd be just camped outside the doors. Well, the only
time we could totally clean the building was from midnight
to about six am. The only time we can clean it.
(18:01):
So I hired my own teenage son. Yeah, and he's
a video gamer. You know what a video gamer is.
They played video games all night long, so they were
used to staying up late. So he got three or
four of his friends and they would clean the church
(18:24):
from one end to the other. Well, one night he
calls me, Well, one night he didn't show up at home.
He didn't come home. And it's about three, four o'clock
in the morning, and I'd gone up to get a
drink of water, go to the restroom or whatever, and
(18:45):
I glanced over in his room and he wasn't home.
So I called him on the cell phone. I said, Austin,
what's going on? This is Dad. This is Dad. It's
so wonderful. Food, Dad, so wonderful, I said, what's going on? Dad?
The angels?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
There's angels everywhere.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Dad, you can't believe it, I said, son, I'm an
ordained minister, and angels don't just show up to teenage kids.
He said, Dad, upstairs. I said, what are the angels doing.
He said, Dad, they're playing hide and go seek with us.
I said, oh my god, that's not in the Bible.
(19:31):
He said, We'll be vacuum in the floor. The angel
will come up, tap us on the shoulder, will turn
around and look, and then it'll go boom like that
and it will take off. I said, son, what are
you smoking? What are you guys on? I want you
(19:51):
to clean up that building and get home. And this
went on two, three, four nights. This went on, and listen,
I know my son. He doesn't make stuff up. And
when he would call me, he would be weeping under
the glory of God. This wasn't drugs, this wasn't his imagination.
(20:15):
So one night, it was like five in the morning
and he didn't call me, so I called him. I said,
what's going on now? He said, Dad, you're not going
to believe this. He said. Two students from the Bible
College got woke up at two in the morning and
felt like they were supposed to pray for the revival,
(20:38):
So they drove down here to the church and they
were out in the parking lot marching back and forth praying,
and we saw him out there and we said, what
are you guys doing. They said, Oh, we're from the
Bible School. God woke us up. He told us to
come down here and pray. And my son, Austin, says, well,
come on inside and pray. So he invited the two
(21:01):
Bible School students to come inside the building to pray.
And when they walked in, my son hands them a
squirt bottle of window cleaner and some paper towels. He said,
while you're praying, he says, why don't you wash all
the mirrors in the ladies bathroom? Because the ladies bathroom
(21:21):
had big, big mirrors of the wady. He wasn't in
there twenty minutes and all of a sudden, and there's
like eight guys now having to clean the building. Right,
and the guys are scattered throughout the whole building. They
hear these screams coming from the lady's bathroom, I mean
(21:45):
burning screams.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
What Bernie got Bernie?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
They all come rushing in there, and they thought the
guy had accidentally squirted the chemicals in his eyes. Oh yeah,
They couldn't figure out. Why would he be screaming about
window cleaner? And they came running in there and he's
ripping his shirt off. He says, look at my back.
(22:11):
My back is burning. Look at my back. And what
had happened was that years before he had cancer and
they gave him radiation treatments and they burned a large
scar on his back, larger than a basketball.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And so he had deep scars on his back.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And he said, what happened while he was cleaning the windows?
He said, he felt an angel come up behind him,
oh and put it's its wing brushed across its back.
And when it did, he said, it burned really bad.
He said it hurt.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
But he took his shirt off, looked in the in
the mirror. You know, he's looking in the mirror. No scar.
The scar disappeared. Now that's not all the story. Are
you ready for this?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm ready. I'm ready. And make sure you shed because
this is where it what's interesting. You need to share
the link. Shd the link with somebody in hospitals. Shad
the link with someone because this is where it gets powerful.
I was knocked off my socks when I heard this,
like literally.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So the evangelist brings my son and this young man
up on the platform the next night and they tell
the story. When he's telling the story, the power of
God hits the entire congregation and people started screaming, screaming
(23:53):
in the audience, my scar is gone? Why star is gone?
I mean they were rolling up their sleeves and like
they had had a accident and they had a big
scar on their elbow. It was gone, totally, just wiped away.
Another lady's scar down the side of her neck like this,
(24:13):
it was gone. And then we started getting emails and
text messages and posts and social media. Thousands of people's
scars disappeared instantly while they were watching God TV or
Facebook or U stream. The scars just disappeared. Well months later,
(24:41):
I was in Bill Johnson's pulpit, you know Bill Johnson
with Bethel. Yes, okay, I was preaching at Bethel, and
I was telling this story. And his number five men,
who was in charge of all the administration, and his
name was Paul man Warring. Okay, well, Paul is now
(25:05):
in Europe. Okay. Well, Paul was there that night on
the front row. And Paul jumps up in the middle
of my sermon, he pulls up his shirt and shows
his stomach.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Wow, come on.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
He said, I had a radical appendix removed. And he
said I had a giant scar. He said, it's gone.
It's it's gone. I mean the crowd went nuts, because
you know the Bethel crowd, they get.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Excited about then they get excited at us these things.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes, ajah, So that's that's what happened. Hey, Oh, you're
not going to believe this story. A lady, that's the lie.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
That's the lady was watching the replay on God at
like four in the morning or five in the morning,
and she's getting ready to go to work, and she's
a nurse.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, and she is looking at this and she's going,
I have a I have a radical scar on my
belly from I think it was.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
A direct to me. I think I read about this some.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Kind of bad operation, but they had to make it
bigger and bigger, and it was so ugly. And she
gets in her car and she's driving down the highway
at fifty miles an hour. I don't know how fast
that is in European, but it's fast. And she's driving
(26:45):
and she glances over and she sees the church. She
had just never seen the church before, and she saw
the church and she said, oh, Jesus, that's that's the
church where the scars are disappearing. And she takes one
hand places it on her belly, So Jesus, would you
do that for me? And while she's driving at high speed,
(27:11):
she felt the power of God hit her belly. She
pulls up her shirt and the scar is gone.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Fifty miles an hour driving by the church.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Wow, powerful, powerful, powerful? Powerful? Do you know? I just sense,
you know, as I was listening to this this morning,
and I said, I want to ask Apostle Stephen about it,
because I want the people of God to know the
power of God, the power of even being in a
(27:45):
setup like this, being online listening this. What is happening
right now is the equivalent of you know, two thousand
and eight people watching God TV and hearing of these things.
And you are right now, if you watching, you are
hearing this right now. And I'm thinking, perhaps you have
a scar. This can be a physical scar, This can
(28:06):
be a scar on your heart with a lot of
hurt and pain. And I just want Apostle Stephen right
now to just stretch his hand out to everybody who's listening,
and just pray over everyone and let God move. Just
trust him to do what he did in Lateland and
what he did with that woman with the scar with
fullman wearing and all of those people that were touched
(28:28):
in that movement. For you to receive your miracle in
the name of Jesus, go ahead, apostle.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
When I was a little boy, we were watching Oral
Roberts on a black and white TV, and Oral Roberts
would stretch his big, giant hands towards the TV like this,
and he would tell people, get out of your chair,
come over, put your hands on the TV, and God's
(28:58):
power will go in to you. And then when I
went to Oral Roberts University for seminary, I learned it firsthand.
And Oral has laid his hands on my head, as
well as other great men and women of God have
laid hands on me. Richard has laid hands on me,
Benny hands laid hands on me. That doesn't make me
(29:21):
a big deal, But what that does is let you
know there's a transfer that takes place. I think it's
in Hebrews too, where it talks about the doctrine. Maybe
it's in Timothy, but you can look it up. It's
called the doctrine of the laying on of hands. They
have laid hands on me. So right now I'm asking you,
(29:45):
if it's on your if it's on your smartphone, take
your hand and place it right on my picture, right
on my hands, and make it a point of contact. Okay,
nothing spooky or god about this. It's a point of contact.
The woman with the issue of blood just touched the
(30:05):
hem of his garment. The Apostle Paul sent forth handkerchiefs
from his body. So touching my hands is like a
digital prayer cloth. Okay. So Father, in the name of Jesus,
I release the healing power of God over everybody watching
(30:27):
right now, in the name of Jesus. As they touch
their screen, I pray your anointing will flow right through
my hands into their hands, and your healing power will
touch them. I come against demonic forces. I come against
(30:49):
torments of the mind. I come against childhood dramas. I
come against any kind of spirits of infirmity and the
name of Jesus and Apostle Israel. Right when I said that,
I was reminded that a lot of people don't understand
(31:15):
that God wants everybody. A lot of churches, a lot
of preachers teach that God uses healing or uses sickness
or disease or accidents to teach us something. You know,
the scripture says all things work together are good. So
(31:39):
they teach that. But let me tell you something that
is a false doctrine. It's a doctrine, and one of
my jobs as an apostle is to correct for men. Doctrine.
The Bible says God uses bad situations, but he does
(32:01):
not cause then situations. And there's evil in this world.
There's going to be tribulations, there's going to be problems.
We have evil leaders in our governments. We have evil
people out there on the streets. We have gangbangers. We
(32:23):
have evil people that are greedy, have corporate greed. Bad
things happen to good people. But listen to me. Jesus
was standing in the temple, he was discipling his disciples,
he was training them, and he said, look at that
(32:45):
woman right over there. And they all looked, and here
comes this little sweet lady. Let's call her a church lady.
Let's call her a sweet intercessor in the church. She's
all about oh her, And she's walking through the temples
seeing her prayers. Jesus said, look at that. That's a
(33:07):
spirit of infirmity. And you can just see Jesus' face.
Jesus God angry. There's a righteous anger. And Jesus got anger, angry,
and he said, look at that. He said, that's the
spirit of infirmity, and she is a daughter of angry.
(33:30):
And he said, that is.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Not that's right.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's what Jesus says right now to whatever's tormenting you,
whatever's causing sickness, whatever's causing infirmity in your body, Jesus says,
that's not right now. Apostibly is well, I'm going to
say something that it's kind of controversial, so you may
(33:57):
have to straighten this out in next week's program. Okay,
do you know Jesus doesn't heal people today? Did you
know that he does? Jesus took all power and authority
and he gave it to you, to me. He told
(34:20):
you and me go make disciples, heal the sick, cast
out devils, and raised the dead. He said, you do it.
I've given you the authority, and now you do it.
So we've always said, oh Jesus would you please heal
(34:42):
my friend. That's not scriptural. Okay. Now, God, in his
mercy he goes ahead and helps us. Okay, but that's
not scriptural. What's really scriptural is I heal you in
that name.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Exactly like what happened with Peter and John at the
temple beautiful, when at the gate beautiful, when they saw
the man, they said, silver and gold I do not have,
but such as I have, I give and in the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk.
And later and later they said, it is faith in
(35:26):
the name, faith in the name of Jesus. How do
we have? So let's tread that out right now we've straightened.
We got two.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
We have two apostles here right now, and we're correcting this.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
God, Praise God, Praise God.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I was completely just you know, like I was just
completely so amazed at that testimony of what happened in Lateland.
But you have been literally around owned the globe apostle.
I can't keep buck with you. Sometimes I'm trying. I
think you're still in the States, and then the next minute,
(36:09):
you little your little icon is in Africa somewhere, and
you're everywhere and I know that you recently had a
great move in Australia with charismatic Catholics.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Wow, yes, yeah, we let me see if I've got
that slide here I'm going through. These are slides from
my trip to Ireland last year. Well this this was
from India. I'll slip to the side. You see that
right there. Okay, let me tell you what happened. This
is incredible. It was Sunday morning, Resurrection Sunday Morning, the
(36:45):
biggest service of the year, right, and I was being
hosted by a very large church. I mean it probably
has fifteen hundred people in India. And he said, he said,
I want you to just do communion at my church
(37:06):
and then I'm going to take you to the inner city.
I'm going to take you down to the slums of Mumbai, India,
and I'm thinking on Resurrection Sunday. Okay, well, let's go.
And I went into these backstreets, little tiny narrow ways.
(37:31):
Literally the mirrors on the side of the car were
that far from the wall. I'm not exaggerating. If that
driver moved two inches one way or the other, he
would have wiped his mirrors out. And we're going down
and We're going deep, deep into the slums. I'm telling
(37:55):
you there were animals. There was open sewers along the road,
little naked babies running through. This was the slums. We
come to this church and we get out of the
car and I'm looking all around. I don't see any church. Now.
I said, where's the church? And they said it's up there.
(38:17):
It's up there. And I look way up there and
there's this little sign, you know, a little sign maybe
just as wide as my hands could reach. It said
gospel something.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
It was all in Hindu. I had to climb up
two flights, two stories high on these little narrow stairs
that were leaning about like like a ladder, you know
(38:53):
how you would lean a ladder up against a building,
and these little tiny stairs. And I had to climb
two stories up on these little tiny stairs. I came
through that door. Can you see that door on the
behind me. I came through that door, and this room
was small. It maybe seated forty people. They had removed
(39:18):
all the chairs and look at him. There was sixty
people jammed into that room on Resurrection Sunday and the
glory of God fell. The power of God was so wonderful,
but let me tell you what happened to me. When
you go into an Indian church, you have to take
(39:39):
his shoes off tradition. Part of it is Asian culture,
but part of it is because Moses had to take
his shoes off in the presence of the Lord. So
I had to take my shoes off. Well, I have
to fight neuropathy, which is a burning, tingling thing on
the Bible. Them on my feet and I'm going, oh Jesus,
(40:02):
I take my shoes off. I'm going to be in pain.
But I did it supernaturally. All pain was gone the
entire time my shoes were off. It was supernatural. It
did not hurt me. And after the service, I'm putting
my shoes on and two teenage Indian children, I mean
(40:26):
they were so small. They came and knelt down in
front of me, and I'm thinking, oh, they want me
to give them a blessing, because a lot of countries
that go to the children will kneel in front of
me and they want a blessing from the priest. Okay,
So I start to reach out and bless them, and
(40:49):
I realized they were tying my shoes. Oh my goodness,
Apostle Israel. These precious children had nothing to give me, nothing,
They couldn't give me anything. So they gave me honor.
And they were tying my shoes. I'm telling you, I
(41:13):
don't know why to this day every time I tell
that story the paragraph right now.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
And so then after they tied my shoes, then I
blessed them and I gave them the apostle blessing. And
it's because you know, the scripture says, you give a
cup of cold water to a prophet, you get a
prophet's reward. So they were honoring the man of God.
(41:42):
And then I blessed him. Wow, I'm feeling it right now.
Hang on, give me a moment.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
He's as well.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
So that's my story from Resurrection Sunday. And then let
me see where am i here? Okay, here, I'm in
Nagaland where up in the northern part of India. All
those people love Jesus. They love Jesus. And then look
at those faces. Aren't they sweethearts? I mean they just
(42:15):
Oh this little girl here, let me get out of
the way, you say, thistle girl. She saw Jesus. She
was having an open vision of Jesus. And it was
during communion. We were serving communion and people started saying angels, angels,
(42:36):
I can see angels. And then another guy jumps up
and says, look, look, there's two angels on either side
of the stage. And I said, what are the angels doing.
He said, they're standing at attention. He said, he said,
they're military angels and they're standing at attention. And I'm thinking, wow,
this is interesting. And then I looked and right in
(42:59):
front of me was that little girl right there.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
And I see, if I get out.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Of the way, there that little girl weeping tears coming
in and she's looking past me and she sees Jesus
standing between the two angels. Guards go and I and
I asked herself, what is Jesus talking to you? I said,
(43:27):
what does Jesus say?
Speaker 1 (43:30):
He loves me? I love you, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
I'm telling you. Everybody in the room hit the floor.
I went to my knees. It was it was incredible.
I never had that happen in any meeting I've been in. UH.
That was that was powerful. Okay, Uh, there's another UH
that was a big convention in India and I'm trying
(43:58):
to get to UH. There's some more of the people
in India. There it is, there's Australia. Can you see that?
It was a big open air meeting. We prayed for
twelve hours, twelve hours in this big downtown park in Sydney, Australia.
(44:20):
We worship, we would pray, we would make declarations and
then we would preach the gospel for about ten minutes.
And there was about six of us and we kept rotating.
So that happened in Sydney. But now here's what you
asked me about. See the cross on the.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
Back and see that one.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
This is a Catholic charismatic change. They love Jesus. They're Catholic.
They have Mass at nine am and then at ten
fifteen they have a joint service with the local Panic church.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
So yeah, charismatic church. I've never heard of this. Every Sunday,
the Catholic priest and the and the Pentecostal pastor hold
church together on Sunday morning. Now here's what was so
mean about this? I had what I would. I don't
(45:31):
want to use the word normal, because nothing's ever normal
with me. But I was having a normal uh healing
Sunday morning healing service. And after I prayed for almost everybody.
I stopped and I could feel the Holy Spirit shifting.
I just stopped, and I'm looking around, and I could
(45:55):
tell the pastor was thinking, well, is straight or finished
or is he doing? And I stopped and I said, Pastor,
I hope this is okay. But I said, I feel
God is calling several young people into the ministry right now.
He's calling them. He said, some of them have been
(46:20):
dealing with this call to the ministry. And I said,
God wants them to make a public declaration that they're
giving their lives for full time service to God. Pastor
do it. Twelve young people walked across the stage, face
(46:44):
the congregation and the pastor, and I laid hands on
them and anointed them and called them into full time service. Wow.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
I mean wow, I'm over here as well. So this
is this is this is like a healing service. I'm
feeling like a healing service, honestly.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
And and you know what apossible Israel. I've never done
that in my wowfe I've never done that. I have
called out maybe one person that I felt, you know,
was being but I didn't just make an open altar
crawl like that. So that was incredible and so now
(47:35):
I'm back to my pictures in Ireland Christmas.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
But is a mind blowing and this is what I
enjoy most about about having I would call you guys
like God's generals. You guys have seen things that the
younger generation read about in the Book of Acts. And
having this program brings the reality of who God is,
you know, and about who the Holy Spirit is in
(48:03):
the church and what he causes us to become, you know.
And I'm seeing that doctor Marc van Gandhi is saying
blessings guys. He says that you know you're going to
catch it on repay. And I know you guys are
good friends.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Yes, Mark and I are. You know. It's funny. I
don't think Mark and I have ever had a meal.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Happens next year.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Yeah, but we are so close in the spirit because
we've been at conferences together, We've talked on the phone,
we've texted back and forth. But I feel a powerful
connection to him, and I know that he's a spiritual
father in your life. And uh, I just appreciate brother Mark.
(48:49):
He he he's a man of God. And you can tell,
you can tell. It's like when my wife and I
met you at that conference. You were actually representing him
at a conference. And I said, now, I said, Janice, please,
(49:10):
because my wife, you know, she knows me and and
she sees me talking to this beautiful lady, and I said, Janie,
listen to me. I know apostle Israel is beautiful. But
I said, that isn't why I'm talking to her. I said,
(49:30):
I feel a strong connection in the Holy Spirit. I
feel an anointing on her life. And I am attracted
to other apostles. I am. I've always been that way.
If a man or woman of God is an apostle,
(49:51):
I have an attraction. I just want to sit and
talk to him. And so then my wife came over
and she met you, and then she said, yes, you.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
Know that's that's amazing, and I really do honor doctor Mark.
And we had a powerful revival meeting in Darby last
month in July with doctor Yan Gunfeld, and it was yeah,
I know where you were, and you know what, this
is an opportunity to say to you next year in
the end of July in English here praise God. Yes,
(50:29):
So I've got just one little testimony that I want
to share with people before before our time you know,
comes to an end real quick.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
We had a healing service last week Sunday, Apostle Stephen,
and it was an online healing service. And I know
a lot of people, you know, they don't catch on
quickly to what God can do in the realm of
the spirit, atmospherically, you know. But I like what what
Roberts lead and doctor us Liden says. He says, apostles
(51:02):
opened doors that no one else can open. You know,
we are.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Those people that you know. I have been friends with
him since I was seventeen years No, I was twenty
years old and he was seventeen. That's the first time
he preached in my dad's church.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Well, you know, for those of you who are listening,
the Apostle Stephen's father, Carl Strada, was an amazing man
of God. When I listened to Apostle Stephen, it's almost
like I'm listening to his dad. But with the punch.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
I'm happy to report to you today that God is
tell me wrong.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
God. So we had this meeting on Saturday on Sunday
last week, and there was a dear lady who tuned
in from France and her son Apostle was in itu
intensive care in France, and he was very very unwell.
He was hooked up onto all these lines. He had
all sorts of things being pumped into his body. And
(52:08):
she came out of her son's room to come outside
with the reception was better because when she was in there,
we could we could just see things happening in and out.
The person would come in and then she eventually decided
to come outside to get a better reception. Reception, so
she came onto the meeting and her video came on
and she had two of her other sons with her,
(52:31):
and she told us about her son, and we prayed
with her. And I'll tell you this for those of
you who are listening to both apostles Stephen and I,
you know I gave a word of I gave a
word to this lady. And you know how the Bible
says when you when you honor the Apostle, you get
the apostles reward or a righteous man or the prophet,
(52:51):
or whoever the person is that you're listening to. So
I gave that word, and I said, I want you
to go back into intensive care unit. I want you
to lay your hands on your son's chest and three times.
I repeated, just three times. You are going to say
you are healed in Jesus name. You are healed in
Jesus name. You are healed in Jesus' name. Also, by
(53:13):
the time, by the time night fell last Sunday, the
man who we prayed for was out of intensive care units.
He was out, and I had an opportunity to speak
to him. The day before yesterday. All the machinery was off, everything.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
Was And the it stands right now is.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
That he is being discharged. He's going to be discharged.
Can you imagine the power of God and what God
can do over the airways, over the airways.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
So and let me tell you, let me tell you
a little secret. Anybody can do this. If you'll take
your cell phone and you text a message that says
be healed in the name of Jesus to your friend.
They take the cell phone and place it on their
(54:11):
loved one's body. It becomes a digital cloth. I do
it all the time. I do it all the time.
I say, be healed in the name of Jesus. They
put the cell phone on their friend's body and God
heals them.
Speaker 1 (54:28):
So that's a little secret. Any last, any last, any
last things that you want to tell the people that
are listening, appossibly with like five minutes left.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
Yes, I was just I was looking at my if
I can get my scriptures open Isaiah fifty three. Everybody
knows this scripture. Okay, surely he's born our griefs and
carried our sorrows. We did esteem him stricken, smitten my God,
and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He
(55:03):
was bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement for our
piece was upon him, and by his stripes, we are healed.
And then and in one Peter it talks about we
were healed. So in the Old Covenant it was looking
(55:26):
towards the cross. In the New Covenant, we look back
at the cross. Now, everybody watching, we are all three
part beans. We have a soul, We have a spirit
man that's eternal. Everybody, we are spirit creatures. We will
live eternally, either in heaven or hell. Then we have
(55:51):
a physical body. I call this my earth suit. Now,
my earth suit looks different than yours. Okay, oh you're
over here, you're on that side. Your earth suit looks
(56:13):
different than me. That's the way we identify each other
is by our earth suit. Then we have a soul,
which is a mind, will and emotions, and that distinguishes
us as a human being. Okay, we have a mind,
(56:34):
will in emotions. Now, when we become born again, the
Bible says we become a new creation in a very
real way, our DNA is changed. Now I'm not necessarily
talking about our physical DNA like a scientist would look at.
(56:56):
But your spirit man becomes born again. When the Bible
says we are healed, we were healed, it's talking about
our spirit man. So our spirit man is healed. We
are healed. I can sit here right now, tell everybody
(57:18):
watching you are already healed. That's a fact. Okay, that
is a theological fact. Now the problem is we have
to deal with our earth suit, and we have to
deal with our souls. So the whole thing is as
(57:41):
we pray, as we are discipled, as we study God's word,
we want our spirit man to influence and begin to
dictate to our soul and our body. Hey, you guys,
come into alignment with God's word. You come into alignment
(58:03):
with the Holy Spirit that's in me, and so you
get healed body, You get healed right now you come
into alignment. And if you study Isaiah fifty three, four
and five, it's talking about physical healing and it's talking
about emotional healing. Both. It's talking about both. So you've
(58:30):
got to know that you are already healed. Now you
just need to walk out that healing, walk out that salvation,
walk out that deliverance. So that's my theology for the
ending of the program.
Speaker 1 (58:49):
But I love it. I love it. I love it.
You know, for those of you who have been watching
and you know you want to listen to this over
and over and over again. You know that after a
certain amount of time, Facebook actually delete our live videos.
I think we all know this now. So but you
can continue to listen to this on podcast. So if
(59:11):
you're on Spotify or you are on Apple Podcasts, it's
gonna be on there. All you need to look for is.
Speaker 2 (59:19):
Doesn't it stay on YouTube?
Speaker 1 (59:21):
Stays on Yes, So you can also just you know,
if you want to listen to it while you're driving.
I think in a few days time, it will be
on Apple podcast it will be on Spotify, and it
will also be on Amazon's Audible in a few days time.
So a few days time, if you want to listen
to this again and you don't fancy going on Facebook
and you just want to listen to it, just look
(59:42):
up apost On Israel, viviet On on these powerful podcast
channels and you'll find it's there and you can listen
to it again and again and again, and certainly on
a Blaze International dot com. Apostle Steven Strader is also
going to put it up on his channels also for
those people who want to listen to it again and again,
because we really want the people of God to be
(01:00:05):
blessed with these messages. Amen, and I can make you enough.
It's exactly one hour.
Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Glory.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
I cannot thank you enough. You know, sometimes the hour
just since like ten minutes, and I think I wish
to do it again and again, Glory to God. And
I have no doubt that we are going to do
this again because I just feel that, you know, we
have got so much more to share with God's people
and get them touched yield. And you know what, Apostle
(01:00:36):
states Steven, We've got a revival meeting next year in
the end of July, the last week of July, and
I'm already extending an invitation to you if you're not

You can put them in your I'm gonna let me

is going to be there as well. So we're going
to start on the twenty seventh of July all the
way to the first of August.
Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
So it's gonna be a longer revival.
Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Okay, you got weary more about it, so you now.
Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
I just I just want to know how are they
going to handle me and you and all in the same.
Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Oh my goodness, they better get their socks real tight on,
you know, otherwise no glory to glory to God. So
let's just pray to end this program today. Father, in
the name of Jesus, we just want to thank you
and give you all the glory with thank you, Father,
for everybody who has been under the sound of our voices. Lord,
we thank you that miracles testimony is signs and wonders,
(01:02:07):
Father God, will stream forth because of our obedience to
come gay, Father God and minister to your people. Father God,
in the mighty name of Jesus, Father, we thank you.
A lot more people will get to hear this message today. Father.
Let them take each Father God as the word that
has come from your very mouth. God. Because these things
(01:02:29):
we have not fabricated, we have not made them up.
It is because of your power that it happened in Lateland.
It is because of your power that it is happening
even in the church right now. Father, in the name
of Jesus, we thank you for everyone that you have
healed to this world. We give you all the praise
and glory in the mighty and messless name of Jesus.
(01:02:50):
And God's people say the big Amen and Lord God,
Praise God. So Apostle Stephen, I am going to be
speaking to you shortly when we go off air, and
we just say goodbye to our Facebook users and our
