Beware of false prophets.

I’ve hit the point where I can’t tell the trolls from the evangelists anymore.  That doesn’t leave me feeling great about things.

[amanonthecorner]

Free speech my fanny, you should be allowed to sue someone for truth. Like, "do you have evidence backing this up or are you just scaring people to make money?" lawsuits. "Because you've been claiming every year is going to be the last before apocalypse for at least two decades, and any decent society would jail you for taking advantage of others like this"

Our Guest Krissy Nelson

DONNA: So thank you! Thank you for that! I want you to talk to us about an encounter that Jesus took you on. And He took you to several different places and you witnessed several different people. And just as a little side note here, they were all women! But that’s okay, you guys! You can still listen! They were all women. And from this I mean we learned some of the most powerful concepts that we have as believers! Sid Roth.

KRISSY: Uh-huh!

DONNA: So share that encounter with us!

KRISSY: Yeah. You know it was a time where I was in my “ordinary.” Doing something very ordinary in a kitchen and I could feel the presence of God filling the room.

DONNA: Uh-huh.

KRISSY: And I was very aware Sid Roth that something was about to happen and I had been crying out for an encounter for weeks and weeks! “God, I want to encounter You fresh and anew! God!” You know? And it was in a kitchen at somebody’s house and suddenly I just sort of stood still and then I felt this hand come and fill mine, my right hand. And I opened my eyes and I looked and nobody was there. And so in awe I just felt the fear of the Lord and I just stood there. And then I heard Jesus and He spoke to me and He said, “Come, follow Me!” And I thought, “Whoa! This is going to be exciting! We’re going to go into my future! We’re going to see my destiny. You know what He’s going to show me about my life! But what He did is He took me back. He said, “Come follow Me back!” And He brought me back into these accounts in His story! History! You know the Word of God with these women in there that He encountered! And so I think about these three encounters and I see them as that. These were three encounters that Jesus let me see and He let me in on. And I write about that in my book. It’s the introduction of it because that sets the tone for the whole thing. But first we were at the well and we were with the woman at the well. And I could feel what Jesus was feeling for her. His deep compassion and love. And I could feel the moment that you know He’s releasing revelation to her about who exactly He is and what He has to offer. And you know He’s asking her for a drink but then He says to her, “If you knew who it was that was here with you, you would be asking him for living water and he would fill you.” You know I feel like she represents those of us who feel dry! You know?  

DONNA: Uh-huh.

KRISSY: Because He is saying living water is going to come in and bring eternal life. And so many of us can relate to her story because of a life that we’ve lived or decisions we’ve made, we can begin to feel really dry but there is hope for us! Because Jesus will encounter us in our dryness and He’ll bring not just water that will satisfy us for a moment, but living water that will fill us to our very soul, you know, and launch us then into our destiny and our purpose!  

DONNA: Wow! Yeah!

Our Guest Krissy Nelson

DONNA: Hello! I’m Donna Chavis and thank you for joining us for “Something More!” My guest is a wife. She’s a mother. She’s a teacher. She’s a preacher. She’s a conference speaker. And she is the author of the book “Created for the Impossible.” Please welcome Krissy Nelson! Krissy, hi!

KRISSY: Hi! Thank you, Donna!

DONNA: Absolutely! Thank you for being here! Now we’re going to minister to a lot of women today! We’re going to minister. You’re going to speak to them. But you had a message before we get started for the guys!

KRISSY: Yeah, for the guys! Sid Roth. For all you guys do not turn the channel! Because there is a word of hope for you found in these powerful accounts of Jesus encountering these women in the Word! So you’re not going to want to miss it either!

DONNA: Okay, let’s get started! And I know you have a passion to minister to women.

KRISSY: Uh-huh!

DONNA: And you speak at a lot of Teen Challenge events.

KRISSY: Uh-huh.

DONNA: And women’s conferences. What is the need that you find with young women and women today?

KRISSY: You know I think - I mean as a women I can relate. We’re looking for hope! Sid Roth. You know we want hope that our life matters! We want hope that in our everyday “ordinary” that there’s high value in that! We want to know that God sees us and that our life matters to Him! And we also want to know that what we’ve done in our past doesn’t define us but that there is hope for today and there is always a new start with Jesus! And so I love to just deposit those words of truth and hope that Christ says! You know that for all who come to Me, you are a new creation! You know the old is gone and the new is come and that’s so exciting!  

DONNA: And I know that with the younger women like the Teen Challenge places that you speak, do you find a lot of people that are - ladies, young girls even that are so desperately trying to find something that will make them feel valued?  

KRISSY: Uh-huh.

DONNA: Significant in their life. How do you minister to them?

KRISSY: You know I remember one time when I was getting ready and getting my heart ready to go minister at a women’s Teen Challenge and I was before the Lord and I said, “God, what do You want me to say?” You know? And I was preparing and studying and He sort of interrupted my study with His presence. And He said to me, “Krissy, your only job is to let them see how much that I love them!” And I’m like okay. All right. You know you just show up and you minister the heart of love from our Father who loved us so much that He gave us His son! You know? And that’s what we need. That’s what they need. They need to know that there is love for them! That they are loved just as they are!

DONNA: Yes.

KRISSY: You know?

DONNA: Yes. Or is that the reason you know everybody - you know everybody like you said they’re looking for love. They want love. Sometimes they don’t even know that that’s what they’re looking for.

KRISSY: Uh-huh.

Our Guest Cindy Jacobs

MIKE: Don’t lose heart! Well, your group, Generals International, meets yearly, I believe, to seek God concerning His Word, His prophetic Word for the year to come. Sid Roth.

CINDY: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

MIKE: And I’d like you to share if you’d like about any words God has given you for this year, 2018.

CINDY: Uh-huh.

MIKE: What we can expect in the United States. What we can expect in the world as a whole.  

CINDY: Uh-huh.

MIKE: And because I believe we should move into the future armed with the prophetic word. And Paul told Timothy to fight a good warfare -

CINDY: Right.

MIKE: With the prophetic word he had received. Sid Roth.

CINDY: That’s so good! Yes, absolutely! Well, this is the Apostolic Council for Prophetic Elders. We’ve met since 1999 and so it’s many ministries. Major prophets who work together who are authors. In fact, James Goll is going to be with you and he is one of our group. Dutch Sheets. Bishop Bill Hamon. I mean many prophets that are very respected worldwide. And we meet together and hear God and then we put together a word that’s a consensus word. So what did God say? Well, I’m glad you asked! [Laughing] Genesis 22:17: “Blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gates of their enemies.” So this year is the first time “possessing the gates of your future.”

MIKE: Now this was God speaking to Abraham.

CINDY: Right.

MIKE: But why do we relate that to the Body of Christ too?

CINDY: Because we’re all children of Abraham if we’re born again. Yeah, I mean Romans 10 makes that clear. And I love this cause it says, “Blessing I will bless you!” In other words, this is a double iteration of blessing! “Multiplying I will multiply you.” And so you know I mean is your life multiplying? Are you seeing great blessings? Are your descendants seeing great blessings? Well, this is a promise! But you know what? There’s an enemy, right, that doesn’t want us to have those promises. So many people get mad at God, don’t they Mike? I mean they’re like, “God, You haven’t done anything for me.” But there’s a warfare!

MIKE: Right.

CINDY: You have to contend.  

MIKE: Or they blame God for something the devil did.

CINDY: Exactly! You have to contend! And so this year the Lord said that He’s going to open gates of our future! And one of them was that He would suddenly do it! Now, so I looked this up.

MIKE: Well can you hold that thought.

CINDY: Yeah.

MIKE: Because we've got to take a break!

CINDY: Oh yes! [Laughs]

MIKE: And we want to hear about these words. [Music]

CINDY: Suddenly!

MIKE: That are going to have such an impact on our life this year! So we’ll be back in just a moment!

[sidrothtum]

Our Guest James Goll

MIKE: For the church which was actually more than Paul praying for the Ephesians. It was the Holy Spirit through Paul praying for all of us so it’s a done deal!

JAMES: And I took those verses, Ephesians 1:17 to 19. I prayed them every day, every year for 10 straight years over my life and I prayed and so I pray for you. By the way, you want to pray a perfect prayer? Pray the prayers of the Bible! Sid Roth.

MIKE: Yes!

JAMES: And Paul prays. He says I pray that you be filled with the spirit of wisdom and revelation and the glorious knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ! And I pray that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened so that you might know the hope of His calling, the glorious inheritance which is in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of His power towards us who are, “Goll Amplified Version” ñ believing believers!

MIKE: [Laughing] We’re going to learn more about.

JAMES: [Laughing]

MIKE: When we come back after the next segment! But you need to start claiming that prayer as if it’s already been prayed over you! Not something you have to beg for [Music] but something you receive by faith! I’m excited to hear the rest of what James Goll has to say! Come back with us! Sid Roth.

MIKE: Welcome back to “Something More!” We’re here with James Goll and we’re talking about the gift of being a “seer!”

JAMES: Uh-huh!

MIKE: Now I’m interested in this aspect. And you may want to revert back to what you were talking about in the last segment but if you can include. I know the Bible says that you may all prophesy.

JAMES: Sure.

MIKE: But can any Christian tap into this anointing of being a seer

JAMES: That is a really a great question! Because you’re absolutely right. It does say let them each prophesy one by one. Now there is a difference though between the spirit prophecy, the gift of prophecy, the ministry of prophecy and the office of a prophet. 

MIKE: Wow. 

JAMES: And so there’s four different spheres here and so there is an atmosphere that can be created in the manifested presence which is the spirit of prophecy. There is as you know the charismata, the gifts of the spirit where it is a gift of prophecy. It doesn’t mean it is residential, though.  

MIKE: Okay.

JAMES: In a ministry of prophecy, which is limited though, kept unto edification, exhortation and comfort, then it has to be in that area. And then there’s a consistency so it’s a ministry. So not everybody who prophesies is necessarily in the office of a prophet.    

MIKE: May I ask you a question?

JAMES: Yes.

MIKE: So if you’re in the atmosphere of a prophetic anointing even though you don’t necessarily think you have the gift of prophecy, God may move on you, kind of like the men that -

JAMES: You got it!

MIKE:  were following the prophetic group.

Our Guest Laura Harris Smith

KAREN: So welcome back to Something More, where I’m sitting here with Laura Harris Smith and we are just finding out so much about the journey that God has taken her on from when she received Jesus into her heart to leading her through TV and media and all the different things that God has done in her life, Sid Roth. But she’s a mother, she’s an author, she’s a wife, she’s a minister, but there’s something else that God uses you to minister to people in. And God has taken you on a journey to finding health in Him and to finding health in three different areas. And so I want you to share a little bit about those areas and how the viewer, as they’re tuning in, can also find health in those areas. So, talk to us a little bit about the journey that God’s took you on.

LAURA: Well, in the last—I suppose it was about five years ago, I was writing a book about dreams and it just so happened that God used work to get me to study sleep because it was work that was keeping me from sleep [laughs]. And so I decided to interview sleep study doctors and insert nutrition in there for better dream recall and I really discovered this whole new level of my writing, including the body, in with the spirit and mind message, so body, mind, and spirit. And finally, my publisher came to me one day and said, “Laura, this is your branding. Everything you do, you bring the body into it.” And as a result of that, you see the triune nature of God hard at work already in the Garden of Eden, Sid Roth. You’ve got scripture saying, let Us make man in Our image. So He’s three parts, He made you in three parts and you can’t segregate the three. You can’t—let’s say you get a diagnosis and you just take medication, but you don’t do anything emotionally to get through it in one piece or you don’t ever pray. You’re treating one-third of the person. And so, basically what happened to me was, I was not sleeping. I can sleep; I can lay down and sleep you know, for eight hours straight. I didn’t want to sleep. I love what I do. I’m really high energy. Both of my parents got like four hours sleep a night and I used to say, well Albert Einstein slept four hours a night, I can sleep four hours a night. So I would get so much done, but if you don’t go to sleep, your organs will go to sleep for you. And so that’s basically what happened to me. And so I had to write, I had to finish that book on dreams, on total bed rest, fighting for my life. Every meal was like a final exam, trying to learn how to eat right, eat colorfully. And I learned through that process that God has color-coded our foods; certain vegetable colors treat different ailments and it was a learning experience. I was in the middle of a book contract. I thought I just bet Jehovah sneaky is going to make me write about all of this and so that’s exactly what happened. And from that day until now, and even with my - after my recovery, I became a certified nutritionist. And I’m continuing my degree now, going on for my doctorate. And so that has, this whole world has opened up, communicating to people that they do have three parts and getting healthy in all three.

[sidrothtum]

Our Guest Laura Harris Smith

LAURA: They’re one person. So, yes, that whole experience, growing up, you know, in a Christian home, I received great training. I received, um, I mean I was in church every time the doors were open. They say if you go to church on Sunday morning you love the Lord, if you go to church on Sunday night, you love your church, if you go to church on Wednesday night, you love your pastor.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: So, we loved the church, the Lord, and the pastor.

KAREN: That’s right.

LAURA: And we were there all of the time, but you know, it wasn’t until seventeen years later, that I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I grew up in a very conservative denomination and didn’t even really know what that was, Sid Roth. Now, I knew the Holy Spirit, I technically believe that all believers, once you invite Jesus into your heart, I believe we’re all Spirit-filled.

KAREN: That’s right, that’s right.

LAURA: So I don’t really use that term a lot. I believe the difference is that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you with power, that epi experience, as it says in the Greek, the coming upon, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, learning to flow in the gifts of the Spirit, that didn’t happen to me until seventeen years later. So, I had this full ministry, wrote books, my husband was an ordained deacon, and I just, I advise everybody that I know, don’t wait seventeen years.

KAREN: Yes, that’s right.

LAURA: Don’t wait seventeen seconds.

KAREN: That’s right.

LAURA: Just ask Jesus for all of it, you know, when you invite Him into your life.

KAREN: That’s right because when we do accept Him into our life, we are filled with all of those things, but then we have to walk in the operation of those gifting’s. And so that sometimes comes just through learning and spending time with God. And I do believe that we are given those gifting’s because that’s what gives us power. That’s what gives us authority; that’s what gives us the ability to walk out the journey. Share with us a little bit about how that, that power that you received with the Holy Spirit has helped you just to overcome some things in your life.

LAURA: Oh boy. Well, you know, having understood the fruits of the Spirit—

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: I told you, I grew up in a very conservative denomination, so we were great at the fruits of the Spirit, Sid Roth. Uh, when the gifts of the Spirit began to really catch my attention and I wanted to walk in all of them, I treated them like, like I was online shopping and I just wanted to put them all in my cart. I wanted all of them, all nine of them. But I realized that—It’s like my pendulum swung the other way, you know, and we have to have both.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: Interestingly enough, a dove has nine grooves in each wing and a dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit or can be, and so if you don’t have the gifts and the fruits, you’re like a one-winged dove. You’re not really going to get anywhere. You’re going to fly around in circles. So, I’m thankful that I had that foundation. You know Karen, I love the anointing, but I’m not impressed with the anointing because I know who it comes from. It’s not from the man. I’m impressed with character.

KAREN: Yes.
