Sid: My guest is red hot for the Messiah, his name is Steven Brooks. I’ve got a copy of his brand new book “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, the Release of Mantles to the End-Time Generation.” Steven on yesterday’s broadcast we were talking about the new mantle that came upon you. And how your life was transformed; it went from let’s say a normal minister to one that moves in tremendous signs and wonders. Tell me about the meeting you recently had in Miami.
Steven: Sid we had a wonderful meeting down in Miami, Florida at El Rae Jesus, Pastor Maldonado, actually he’s an Apostle of the Lord. Apostle Maldonado leads that wonderful church and as far as I know it’s the largest Hispanic church in America. There was several notable healings that took place even as I was calling out what the Spirit of the Lord was doing through the word of knowledge. And I remember I began to say the Lord right now is cleaning out somebody’s nose, but you’ve had sinus problems all of your life and the Lord is cleaning your nose. And ten minutes later a man gave a testimony who I laid hands on and prayed for, and in that meeting and he had a cyst Sid in his nose that completely dissolved in the meeting and his entire sinus passage ways opened up and he was able to completely breathe freely. And pain was leaving the bodies of other people from other diseases that I was calling out, headaches were just being broken off of people. And we had also a wonderful miracle that happened in San Francisco. I was ministering out at Richard Gazowsky’s Church, he’s a prophet pastor, and also a movie producer, and has one of the most well known churches in San Francisco. And Sid after I had preached that night I was going to pray for the sick and I call all, anybody that need a miracle to come up. And Pastor Richard was the first one in the line and I think maybe because he was sitting up front and could get there a little quicker than everybody else but he was the first one in line. And I said, “What do you need?” And Sid in front of the whole conference that was there and this was a conference church meeting. And in front of everybody he said, “Brother Steven, he said “I have a severe case of hemorrhoids and he was very transparent and he had been in excruciating pain with severe bleeding. Even the day before he had to go to a political meeting and when he stood up there was blood all over the seat and there was just a real mess. And when he came to the meeting that night that I was ministering there his church he was in so much pain Sid, that he actually had to wear and adult protective diaper to help control the bleeding. And so I prayed for him, laid my hands on him, and he fell out in the Spirit and Sid he was instantly healed, I mean instantly healed, all the bleeding stopped, all the swelling went away and he got up and was able to go to the bathroom for the first time pain free in three days and has been completely healed ever since.
Sid: Steven, you talked earlier this week about a mantle you received from someone from Scotland. Have you received any other mantles?
Steven: Yes, I have Sid. You know I had a very interesting situation when I ministering in the Washington DC area. And while I was there at this pastor’s church the pastor said, “Steven there’s a man here that I would like for you to meet, his name is Wade Taylor, Dr. Wade Taylor.” Now brother Wade is 83 years old and I went over and shook his hand and met him, this happened about three years ago and so about that time he was a little over eighty. And I met him and I’d never met him before but he said to me, “Steven, he said I would like for you to give me a call and come see me sometime.” I said, “Okay,” but Sid a couple of months went by and I found myself back in that same area of the country ministering. And my wife said, “You know Steven, we’re back in that same area and Wade Taylor said, “That if you are ever in the area please call him, why don’t you do that.” And I said, “You know that’s a great idea, we don’t really know each other I just met him for about two minutes, but I’ll call him and maybe he wants to get together.” And Sid I called him on the phone and he wanted to go out and have lunch so that day we met and when we pulled up to the restaurant my wife got out and she went into the restaurant to get a seat and when he got out of his car, I got out of his car we met and started talking about mantles. He said “Steven I want to tell you about three ministers whose mantle has been imparted into my life.” And I thought, you know Sid to myself I thought this is kind of unusual, I said, “I hardly even know this brother although I’ve heard wonderful things about him.” He was a former, he was actually a founder of Pinecrest Bible College and was the President of the that Bible college for over twenty years. And well known in certain prophetic circles, but he’s telling me about mantles that he’s received from other ministers. And we order our food and he’s just talking to me about mantles and I’m thinking why is he sharing all of this? And Sid after we had finished eating he said, “Now tell me about your ministry and tell me a little more about yourself.” I begin to tell him about my ministry and type of ministry the Lord has given me and what God’s called me to do. And he said, “That’s good we need to go outside and pray.” And so we went out and we sat in my car, my wife graciously sat in the back seat, Dr. Wade Taylor sat in the front right passenger seat. I sat in the driver’s seat and you know Sid, I didn’t know what to do I was just getting to know Wade Taylor at that time; and he wanted me to pray and so I did a little prayer and kind of I didn’t really know what to pray. And so I felt like he wasn’t even praying attention to my prayer and so I just wrapped the prayer up and I said, “Jesus name Amen.” And he said, “Good, Amen.” And he kind of smiled and said, “Steven, I need your hands for this.” And I stretched out my hands, he grabbed my hands and he said, “Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus I now transfer the mantles of” and he named those three men and he said, “I transfer my mantle to Steven now.” And he said, “Receive, receive.” And that was a remarkable experience, one to me that was life changing.
Sid: Well, I have to ask you “What did you see in your ministry after that impartation in receiving those mantles that you did not see before?”
Steven: Well, what I see that the Lord was doing is that the Lord has called me to start a school of ministry and you know Sid, this is something new to me to start a school of ministry. He has run a Bible college for over twenty years as the President and Founder of that Bible College. And so all of that knowledge we now have a wonderful relationship we talk on the phone about once, usually about once a week; I’ve been to his house often to visit him and to talk late into the night, we’ve prayed together. The Lord brought a divine connection together that was something that I needed to fulfill the calling and the purpose that the Lord has for my life; and that’s why he brought Brother Wade because I need a portion of that anointing of that mantle to help me for what God’s called me to do. Much of it is the same thing; it’s a similar type of ministry plan.
Sid: Now you have so many examples in your book of transfer of anointing and that does nothing but builds people’s faith, pick one of the people from your book and tell me about a transfer of mantles.
Steven: Sure I was in Southern California one time, this was about just a couple of years ago Sid. I had a ministry partner say “Steven there’s somebody in town who is a Christian businessman, he’s an international investor” and she said, “I think that you should meet him. “ And I said, “I don’t want to call him up and ask a meeting, he’ll probably think that I’ll want money if I do that.” And she said, “No, no it will be okay just give him a call, tell him you know me and I think this and I think that you’re suppose to meet him.” I said, “Okay.” And so I called him up and sure enough he was in Beverly Hills staying at a very nice hotel and I asked if I could come over and just see him, talk and get to know him. And we did that and got together and met and had lunch and but we talked about mantles. Sid I prayed for him and I said, “I believe there is a mantle that the Lord wants you to have.” And I said, “Brother you watch it’s going to come upon you very very soon a new mantle the Lord has for you.” And so the Brother left and went on to another engagement he had, but when he went to another town he said that there is a certain prophetess that lives in this town and she’s very accurate with prophetic words would you like to meet her? He said, “Yes.” And when he stood before this lady, this lady said “There’s a new mantle coming upon your life, you asked the Lord for a new mantle, and she said it’s coming upon your life.” She said, “First of all you had the wrong mantle on and you haven’t been producing the way that the Lord wants you to produce,” but she said, “The right mantle is now falling upon your life, it’s a golden mantle.” And Sid even today his primary means of investment is in gold and he has international business, and end time Joseph type calling. And he’s walking in that anointing that he received now from the Lord.
Sid: Now has the Lord shown you what is going to happen, …and pray this prayer of impartation?
Steven: Well, I believe that the anointing is one of most priceless things that there is; the Holy Spirit resting upon a person helping them, empowering them to do what God called them to do is irreplaceable. That’s what a mantle is the anointing, the equipping power of the Spirit, and if a person’s called to the ministry there’s an anointing for that. If the person’s called to be a doctor or a housewife, there’s an anointing for that. But the Lord can increase the anointing; the Lord can even release new anointings people are receiving regularly healing gifts and new anointing’s to pray for the sick with faith. Like I’m seeing that Sid in almost every single meeting people that have never been in these meetings they come into the meetings and their hands begin to burn like they’re on fire and they’ll say “What’s happening to me?” And I’ll tell them you’re receiving a healing anointing you need to begin to pray for people because the Bible says “You shall lay hands upon the sick and they shall recover.” But that anointing mixed with their faith gives them the impetuous to actually go out and do that, it quickens them to go do that.
