It's Supernatural, Steven Zarit Was Always Interested in The On, "It's Supernatural, Steven Zarit was always interested in the supernatural, but he didn't experience it firsthand until a friend touched his forehead with invisible fire. See how Steven entered the realm of the supernatural and how God gave him the gift of miracles. Do angels exist? Are healing miracles real? Is there life after death? Can people get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance? Sid Roth has spent twenty-five years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of, "It's Supernatural." Sid: Hello Sid Roth, welcome to my world where it is naturally supernatural. Strap on your seatbelt, we are going to have fun on this show because God is going to invade our presence. I mean he is going to go right through this television screen into wherever you are right now. My guest Steven Zarit, like myself, is a Jewish person. Steven, though when I think of you I think more as a culturally Jewish person, and you were like me, you were fascinated with the supernatural, Edgar Casey, you watched healing, you watched healing evangelists, I never went that far. But tell me about one you saw and what you thought about him. Steven: Well, I actually saw Kathryn Kulman and I watched her on the television set and I just thought boy I would like to do something like that someday. I would be able to walk in to a hospital and pray for all the children. Sid: Yeah, but you would have to pray in the Name of Jesus, did you ever think about such a thing? Steven: No, no, didn't think about it at all, didn't think about it at all. Sid: Okay, you are really successful, you are in publishing, and some meshugah, that's a crazy person, wanders in, he used to be I believe an alcoholic, a friend of yours, and what does he say to you? Steven: Yeah, he was an ex-alcoholic, six months old in the Lord, and he walked into my office one day in 1971 and he said to me, "I was driving in Anaheim and God spoke to me and told me to come and pray for you." And I said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, you mean the God who spoke the world into existence, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Moses, the God of the prophets?" And he said, "Yeah that God." And I said, "He told you to come and pray for me?" I said, Forget about it." Sid: Did you think he was meshugah, between you and me? Steven: Yes, I thought he was a little nuts, a little crazy. So he came in two or three times and asked if he could pray for me. Sid: So why didn't you just get rid of him? Just say pray. Steven: Well one time after the third of fourth time I watched him walk out to his car and I looked at him and he seemed so happy and so excited. And I looked up to heaven and I said, "You know what God, I just want to know you and I want to know all about you and I want to know just who you are, everything about you, everything about you." And the next thing I know, a week later he walks into my office and he says, "God told me to come pray for you again." I said, "Okay, okay, pray for me." So he puts me in a chair in the middle of my office, I had a big office suite and I had a sofa there, and he starts praying in tongues and I started to get a little weird with that. Sid: Well this is a supernatural language and we Jewish people are not quite used to people praying in unknown tongues, I can imagine, okay. Steven: I was very, very nervous. Sid: You were real freaked out. Steven: Really freaked out, and I had gone and looked into supernatural things, I had looked at Edgar Casey, I had read everything I could find on Edgar Casey, and I ended up talking to this man and he said, "I am going to lay my hand on your foot if you don't mind." And I said, "Lay your hand anywhere you want." So he lays his hand on my foot and all of a sudden this power, this enormous heat came through my body, that was just so supernatural that I was frightened, I was literally frightened to death, because I… Sid: Had you ever felt anything like this before? Steven: Never, and I had tried drugs, I had tried smoking marijuana, I had tried, you name it I had tried it, tried to find the meaning of truth, and the meaning of life. And this power just went up through my body, I started to perspire and sweat, and the next thing I know the fire dissipates and this love just overcomes me and it was just overwhelming, this love. And I couldn't grasp the significance of this great love that I was feeling and the next thing I know, I see this hand, this literal hand in front of my face and I heard a voice and the voice said, "That's as much of the love that I am giving to you right now, if you were to get any more you would surely die." And I lay on, and the next thing I know I am laying on the floor and I am laughing, and I am getting cramps in my cheeks from laughing, and I am saying, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus… Sid: Thank you Jesus? Steven: I am saying thank you Jesus. And I'm going wait a minute, do you realize what you are saying, you don't even know Jesus, Jesus is the Messiah; he is the Son of God. And so I told Jim, I said, "Jim, something has happened to me." So I told him exactly what I just told you and he said go home and read the gospel of John and the Book of Acts and I read it and when I got to the second chapter of Acts I said oh my gosh, oh my gosh, two thousand years ago this happened, two thousand years ago and it just happened to me Yeshua Hamashia is the Son of God. And I was just, totally blown away, just totally blown away. Sid: But you know this power that came upon you, this power that came upon Steven was power not just for the sake of power, it was power for a purpose. do you remember that young Jewish boy that would watch the healing evangelists like Kathryn Kulman and Earnest Ainsley and others on television, well he was being prepared to pray and miracles would take place, don't go away, we'll be right back after this word. We'll be right back to, "It's Supernatural." Call now and get your copy of, "They Thought for Themselves." I am upset about the rabbinic and Christian conspiracy. You see last week I shared with an 80-year-old orthodox Jewish woman about why Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah, and then I asked her, "In your 80 years, have you ever heard such good news?" She said, "Never." If Christians had shared and rabbis had allowed Jewish people to think for themselves, Jews and Christians would have one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and one Messiah, Yeshua, the King of the Jews. This is why God told me in a dream to write a book called, "They Thought for Themselves." It contains ten amazing stories of Jewish people who have examined the facts and thought for themselves. One, a renowned Jewish musician, another a Jewish PH D., another a Jewish millionaire, all came to the same conclusion, Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah. Call or write today to get your copy of this life-changing book. We now return to, "It's Supernatural." Sid: Sid Roth here with Steven Zarit, and what's happened to Steven is this nice culturally Jewish man that is out to make a million dollars, he has a top executive job in publishing a meshugah, a former alcoholic, one of these born-again types comes into his office, puts his hands on him, prays for him, a fire literally goes throughout his body, and I tell you that there are so many people like Steven Zarit today, that are waiting to hear the truth. I had a dream a number of years ago and in this dream God spoke to me and he said more Jewish people would come to know him through my book of Jewish stories than anything that I had ever touched. And history has shown it is true. Over three-quarters of a million have been printed, over a half a million in the Russian language alone. It is ten Jewish people from different, diverse walks of life, a Jewish stockbroker, a Jewish person in the New Age, a Jewish concert pianist, Jewish people that all came to the same conclusion, Jesus is the Messiah. And because it is a story, not a preaching type of book, Jewish people read it cover to cover and then at a point of desperation say what Steven Zarit said, his desperation was the heat of God was so strong he yelled out Jesus' name.

  • Lonnie Frisbee
    Lonnie Frisbee The problem of Charismatic hypocrisy Introduction We have seen it so many times: AA Allen drunk and stupefied in a hotel room the night before he preaches in a ‘revival’. Paul Cain, a practising homosexual and alcoholic during the height of his fame in the Signs and Wonders Movement heyday. Bob Jones guilty of sexual abuse and fornication at the height of the Kansas City Prophets fiasco. Todd Bentley, guilty of adultery and violence at the height of the ‘Lakeland Revival’. Yet all these were (and, by many, still are) admired as great prophets in Charismatic / Pentecostal circles. Lonnie Frisbee is the archetypical example of this kind of charade but he was more powerful than all of them. Though unknown to most evangelicals, he was a founding ‘prophet’ of the early Charismatic Movement, the face of the Jesus Movement revival, the instigator of the Signs and Wonders Movement and the catalyst for the initial growth of both Chuck Smith’s Calvary Chapel and Wimber’s Vineyard churches. As such he deserves some attention. Despite being highly significant in the development of so many Charismatic institutions, he has been carefully edited out of Charismatic history and the records of both Calvary Chapel churches and the Vineyard Movement. My edition (1988) of the Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements has no dedicated article on him, neither is Frisbee mentioned in the articles on ‘Calvary Chapel’ or ‘Vineyard Churches’. The great problem with Frisbee was that, despite his massive success in evangelism and church planting, and despite his dramatic power in Charismatic gifts, Frisbee was not only a practising homosexual at the time, but he was also very influenced by the occult.

  • Grace to You :: Esp Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time the Primary Importance of Sanctification Scripture: Galatians 4
    Grace to You :: esp Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time The Primary Importance of Sanctification Scripture: Galatians 4:19–20 Code: 48-23 Now for this morning in our time in the Word of God, we want to return to the book of Galatians, Galatians, an epistle, a letter written by the great apostle Paul to some churches in a region called Galatia around the Mediterranean. We have been many months in this wonderful book and we have covered a lot of ground. We’re going to slow down a little bit now over the next few weeks because we have finally come to verse 19 and 20, and I want to look carefully at these two verses because I think they have some rather mammoth implications for us individually and for the church at large in our day. Galatians chapter 4. Let me just read verses 19 and 20. “My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you – but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.” Paul had poured his life, at no small risk, into the establishment of the churches in Galatia, established out of paganism. He had preached the gospel to them. He, like a pregnant woman, had endured the agonies of bringing the gospel and having it finally be believed, and they literally be born into the kingdom of light. He had labored intensely, painfully, to see that happen. They are now his children, and in a very strange set of circumstances he feels like he’s in pain again, as if he’s going through the birth pangs that he already experienced in bringing the gospel to them, the gospel that brought them spiritual life.

  • Come, Holy Spirit
    “We believe that the Spirit distributes his gifts to us resulting in prophecy, prayer languages, healing, miracles and many other gifts as we joyfully experience his presence. We value an approach to God’s presence that is respectful both of God and of those we are with. We eschew hype and other efforts to manipulate either God’s presence or the response of others to his presence. We distinguish between the Holy Spirit and the human response which shares in all the beauty and brokenness of our humanity. We also believe that as we experience his presence through Christ by the Spirit we will be made more fully human and better reflections of the God- image that we were created to be.” Core Values And Beliefs, Vineyard USA, p. 2. come, HOLY SPIRIT Introduction ................................................................................. 5 The Third Person Of The Trinity ............................................. 7 Allowing God To Act In Our Midst .......................................11 Learning To Respond To The Spirit ......................................14 Becoming People Of The Spirit .............................................18 Visit This Link For Free Song Downloads From Vineyard Worship www.VineyardWorship.com/Distinctives Contributing Authors To The Series Brian & Thora Anderson | Christena Cleveland | Christian Dunn | Mark & Karen Fields Homero Garcia | Brenda Gatlin | Jeff Heidkamp | Bill Jackson | Dianne Leman Caleb Maskell | Derek Morphew | John & Eleanor Mumford | Rich Nathan Steve & Cindy Nicholson | Rick & Becky Olmstead | Jay Pathak | Lance & Cheryl Pittluck Jim Pool | David Ruis | Adam Russell | Jamie Stilson | Rose Swetman | Phil & Janet Strout Mike Turrigiano | Jamie & Michelle Wilson | Dan Wilt © 2014 Vineyard USA.

  • Annie Jenkins Voted for John Mccain in 2008. She Greatly Admired Sarah Palin
    1 TM Luhrmann [email protected] ` Annie Jenkins voted for John McCain in 2008. She greatly admired Sarah Palin. She thought that Palin was brilliant and witty, and that she took a ferocious beating from the media because she was a woman in the limelight and that’s what the media does to women. Annie loved that Palin did not keep her Christianity “quiet.” These views are not unusual for someone in Annie’s demographic. Annie is an evangelical Christian. She is sixty now, a gracious, gregarious, attractive woman with a big laugh and a warm smile. She lives in a sprawling suburb in southern California, the kind of planned subdivision where all the streets meet in right angles and the strip malls repeat themselves remorselessly every fifteen to twenty blocks, in a modest house filled with Bible commentaries and Christian books. Her town borders Orange County, a Republican stronghold, and most of her white neighbors who identify with a political party call themselves Republican.1 Most evangelical Christians vote Republican. White evangelicals overwhelmingly vote Republican. In the 2010 midterm election, 78% of those white evangelicals that voted did so for their Republican candidate.2 But you would not have predicted Annie’s current political views from her early life. Annie grew up in a staunchly Democratic household, the child of educated Catholics who would no more vote for a Republican than they would walk into traffic naked. They had a black velvet painting of JFK on the wall, next to the one of Elvis. Her father was an Italian immigrant who did scientific work on a military base in southern California—“all his stuff is classified, that’s all I ever knew”--and her mother was a farmer’s daughter from the Midwest.

  • The Jesus Movement Between Mid-1950S and Mid-1980S, Over One Third of All Americans Left the Denomination in Which They’D Bee Raised
    RELIGION IN THE SIXTIES The Jesus Movement Between mid-1950s and mid-1980s, over one third of all Americans left the denomination in which they’d bee raised. During the 1940s and1950s, the major Christian and Jewish denominations grew. During Eisenhower’s administration, “under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance and “In God We Trust” inscribed on currency. Between 1965 and 1975, every major white liberal denomination (Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian, Church of Christ) shrank. During the same decade every conservative denomination (Southern Baptists, Assembly of God, Nazarenes) grew. Campus Crusade for Christ founded in 1951 by Bill Bright. In 1967 Jon Braun, Crusade for Christ leader at Berkeley, called “Jesus Christ, the world’s greatest revolutionary.” In 1970, Hall Lindsey, former Crusade for Christ leader at UCLA, published The Late Great Planet Earth about the Rapture and End Time.It sold 9 million copies. The Jesus Movement The Jesus Movement was the hippie element within the Christian Church that developed in the 1960s and largely died out by the 1980s. Adherents referred to themselves as the Jesus people and others called them Jesus freaks. Some of the churches that grew out of the Movement were the Calvary Chapel in California, Belmont church of Christ in Tennessee and Fellowship House Church in South Carolina. The Jesus Movement sought return to the original life of the early Christians and rejected mainline denomination as apostate. Many Jesus people lived in communes and shared possessions. Jesus people believed in miracles, signs, faith healing, spiritual possession, and exorcism Jesus people emphasized social justice and often expressed anti-American political views The Jesus Movement was evangelical and millennial.

  • Some Comments on Prophetic Scriptures Yet to Be Fulfilled by Bill Hamon and Acts 3:1921 with Mal
    Some Comments on Prophetic Scriptures Yet to Be Fulfilled by Bill Hamon and Acts 3:19-21 with Mal. 4:5, 6; Matt. 17:11; Rev. 10:7; and 11:15 By Karl Kemp All Bible quotations were taken from the New American Standard Bible, 1995 edition, unless otherwise noted. I am writing this paper using a minimum number of footnotes. (For one thing, I plan to put this paper on several Christian article sites that do not permit using footnotes.) At least most of the footnotes I include are quite important and should not be skipped. Quite often I will make comments in the middle of quotations using brackets. All of my papers that I mention as references for further study in this paper can be found on my internet site (karlkempteachingministries.com or Google to Karl Kemp Teaching). CONTENTS Introduction.. pages 2-12 I'll quote a long paragraph from Hamon (page 100) where he quotes from Ellicott's Commentary on the Whole Bible, Vol. 7 (Zondervan, 1954) on the book of Acts.. 12-13 Two viewpoints that have helped influence some Christians to misinterpret Acts 3:21.. 13-19 One viewpoint: All people, or almost all people, will be saved along with God's restoration of the world.. 13-16 A second viewpoint: The postmillennial view of eschatology.. 16-17 The post-millennial view of David Brown and his interpretation of Acts 3:21 and of Mark 13 and Matthew 24.. 17-19 Let's go on to a verse-by-verse study of Acts 3:19-21.
