SID: Now I’m here with Rodney Howard-Browne. And you look at him, you find out about people with cancer that are healed, people that spend a lifetime in a wheelchair, they get up and start walking. You hear that he hears God so clearly and you say what a wonderful gift God has given Rodney. Rodney, really and truly, can everyone that gets hungry for God walk in the same presence of God that you are walking in?
RODNEY: Yes, sir. It’s available to every single person. It’s like salvation is available to all. All don’t receive it for whatever reason, but’s available to every single person. Healing, God’s healing power is available to every person. His power to anoint in grace and [unintelligible] is available to every single individual. You have to get hungry. In John, chapter 4, Jesus talked about a water spring of everlasting life. And in John:7 he talked a river: “Out of your inner most being will flow rivers of living water.” In John, chapter 14, 15 and 16, he talked to the disciples about the fact that he would go away and he said, “I’m not going to leave you without a comforter. I’m going to send another comforter. The spirit of truth is with you now, but it’s going to be in you.” And so you see that taking place even after the resurrection when he told the disciples, “Go and tarry at Jerusalem.” And they could have said, “But Lord, we already have had miracles. We walked with you for three and half years in your earthly ministry. We’ve seen the signs and wonders. We cast out devils.” “But remember,” he said, “The Holy Spirit is with you and now it’s going to be in you.” And so he told them to go and carry it to Jerusalem so they could be new with power. Now this promise is not just for the apostles. This is where many in the church have got it wrong. People say, that ceased when the Master Apostle died. That’s bogus. There’s not even a scripture to verify that. The fact that the matter is God is still pouring out His Spirit on the earth today because the first Pentecost is still in effect. We don’t need another Pentecost. We don’t need another Pentecost. The Holy Spirit is still in the earth. He’s still moving. God has been moving for 2000 years. The wind has been blowing. The fire has been falling to all those that are hungry no matter where you live in the earth. You might be in a remote mountain some place and you cry out to God and He will come. He will touch you. He will visit you. God can come and touch me in Africa in 1979, then He could touch you. You’ve got to cry out. You’ve got to be hungry.
SID: God knows that our people are hungry. Why do they have to cry out? He knows they want to be healed. Why is this cry out important?
RODNEY: If I told you, go do this, do this, do this, do this, you would do that, all those things and never get any closer. But it’s about an intimate personal relationship with Jesus where you come in to that daily communion with him, and in him you live and move, and have your being. This is not about another church service. It’s about the church service coming in on the inside of you, and his name is Jesus. It’s about a person and you live in communion with him. And it’s through all the test of the trials of life that he’s still there with you. His presence is with you. His joy is with you. His peace is with you. Why is it that so many people in the church are depressed and they’re sad, and they’re discouraged, and they’re downhearted, yet the greater one comes to live on inside of them. It’s about us coming to the place where he heals unto him, where we allow him to come and do whatever he wants to do in us. And you can, let me tell you, can be married, you can have children, you can work a job, you can be all of those things in the world out there and still have the anointing. You don’t have to be a recluse living somewhere in a monastery or whatever. You can be a normal everyday person living the supernatural life where the supernatural is natural, and it’s naturally super.
SID: Rodney, I like that. Can I steal it?
RODNEY: Sure.
SID: Okay now, are you ready at home to receive? I want Rodney to pray for you for an impartation. And I’m going to tell you something, I have seen this through because I’ve been on radio for many years. The anointing, to receive, that’s up to you. But the one prayer, you will receive it right through this television right now. You in the studio audience, you’re going to receive this right now. But you be hungry, you be desperate and you don’t look for anything, don’t look for falling, don’t look for crying, don’t look for laughing. Look for Jesus. Would you pray?
RODNEY: Yes sir. Right now, the first thing is to say, Jesus, be my Lord and my savior. Embody in my heart, because that’s where it starts right there. It’s not about an experience. Many people in the New Age, they go looking for experiences about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We say, Jesus, come and be my Lord and my savior. And then when you do that, then you say, now, Lord, you are the baptized in the Holy Spirit, which he is. John the Baptist said, “I baptize you with water, but the one coming after me will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.” Jesus is the baptizer in the Holy Ghost and fire. So right now just where you are, just lift your hands. I’m going to pray and the power of God is going to come upon you. Father, in the name that’s above every name, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for your anointing and your power. Just like on the day of Pentecost to come up each and every person crying out to you right, that the fire of God fall in the name of Jesus from the top of their head to the soles of their feet, fill them, fill them, Lord, fill them to overflowing. Let your river begin to flow. Let the wind of Heaven flow. Let the fire of God fall. Let fresh oil be poured out. Let new wine be poured upon your people even now. Anoint their heads with oil. Fill their cups to overflowing. Thank you, Lord. We thank you for it right now. Thank you. Thank you. Come on, just lift your hands right where you are and just begin to thank Him right now. Just begin to praise Him right now. Just begin to let the river of God just begin to flow out of you. Some of you, God is filling you know with that heavenly language [speaking in tongues]. Just begin to speak it out. Others, the Lord is filling you with His joy. Just let that joy just begin to bubble right out of your belly. Let Him touch you. He wants to touch you so he can touch through you. That’s what the touch of God is all about. It’s not to keep to our self. It’s to take it to a lost and dying world so that the whole world can see that Jesus is real, that he’s alive, that he’s risen and that he’s coming soon. You will be witnesses unto him. Let him touch you right now. Let him fill you right now to overflowing. Father, we just thank you for your presence, for your anointing. [speaking in tongues]. Your presence, your presence, your presence. Thank you. Thank you Lord, thank you. Halleluiah.
SID: Now you must seek God for all you’re worth when we go off the air. You must seek God all times. There is no one else. There is nothing else except, you were created to have intimacy with God. It’s not an accident you’re watching this show right now. God is calling you by name, by your name now.
