SID: You know, the presence of God is sweet like honey. Keith, I’m reminded, you were such a reluctant prophet. God literally pinned you to the ground. Do you remember that?
Keith: Yes he did. The Lord was calling me to speak and preach, and prophesy, and I had been given my first major prophecy, which was the Lord had came to me. Jesus appeared to me when my son was in a coma. He said go and prophesy to the doctors he’d be raised from the dead, and he was totally healed.
SID: Take me to the time God pinned you to the mat.
Keith: Yes Sid, I want to go back there because the Lord was dealing with me after I repented. I think repentance is so important. When I got a word from God and then when Justin my son went into that coma and there was no hope, no brain activity, and they unplugged him, I did a lot of repenting. And when I got home the Lord appeared to me. One minute it was God, he told me what to do and had to go back and I prophesy to the doctor and say he would live and would not die. Our words, what you were talking about earlier are going to be very important in this last day. I mean, we’ve got to watch our words if we’re going to have what we say. I mean, that’s very important to think about. I was pinned to the floor and all day long I tried to get up, I couldn’t get up. And the Lord said, “When are you going to surrender and preach?” How would you like to be called like that? “When you are going to prophesy for me? I showed you these dreams as you were young and here you are running from me.” I said, “Lord, I repented. Justin got raised up.” He said, “Yeah, but you haven’t surrendered your whole life to win this world to Jesus, which is me.” So I said, “Okay, Lord, if you will do five things.”
SID: Tell me one. And by the way, he felt very confident they were too hard for God. Just tell me one.
Keith: You know Sid, always growing up you look at the ministers up on the platform and they were educated and all. So I thought, first thing to come in my mind, I have no Bible education. I just went to church. So when I said, “Lord, I can’t preach because I have no Bible.” I gave God five excuses why I couldn’t do it. God already knows how to fix it. So I gave these five excuses, but the number one, I can’t preach because I have no Bible education. He said to me, “You’re going to have some education if you’ll surrender to me.” So I surrendered to preach. That night I went to church. The pastor couldn’t preach. He said, “Somebody in here has got the message.” I gave the message and revival broke out.
SID: Both of us had a friend who is currently in Heaven. His name was Bob Jones and he reminded me of you a lot because he also, when he had a dream, it was a hundred percent accurate. But Bob told you there was a point and he was talking about the Glory. Tell me what he told you about the Glory being lifted.
Keith: You know, Bob had told me, he came to my church a good bit. We were good friends, him and his wife Bonnie, and we just loved them. Bob was such a great man of God. And he came, and he was talking about this End Time revival that’s coming where a billion souls would be swept into the Kingdom. No church could hold them. They’d be in the fields. They’d be in stadiums instead of sports events. And there will be sports events, but the stadiums will be full of people hungry for God. That’s what’s fixing to happen right now. So I asked Bob a lot about that during that time, and he said, “You know, Keith,” he said, “years ago the Lord came to me and told me he was going to take the Glory off the earth for a while, but he was going to leave the Anointing, and thank God for the Anointing.” And Bob said, “You know, Lord, if you’re going to take the Glory I just want to go.” And he said, “I’m going to bring it back.” And so, you know, Bob had a prophecy about this time, about 40 years later, and here you are celebrating 40 years that the Glory would begin to return to this earth.
SID: So is the 40 years the same celebration I’m having, is it going to happen, did he say this year we’ve been 40 years?
Keith: Well many people have told me, and he, they have a book out called “The Shepherd’s Rod.” Bonnie has it out, and it says in there that it will be 40 years. The way it’s going to fall it’s going to fall in the spring of this year is when it’s going to begin. So I’m ready. How about you all?
SID: Keith, we just have a couple of minutes in this segment, and of course we’ll have you back in a little later segment. But there are many people suffering right now.
Keith: Yes.
SID: They’re in the wilderness and they don’t even know why, and you’re crying out to God, God, where are you? God, did I commit a horrible sin? God, we had such sweet fellowship. What word would you give them?
Keith: What I’d like to say is we didn’t endure if not for joy coming in the morning. And I want to say that I believe that we’re at a mile marker today.
SID: Would you look at someone in the eye right now and say that to them.
Keith: I want to say right that those that are watching, you’ve been hit with grief. You’ve been going through some struggles. You’ve been confused. You’ve been burdened about a lot of things. You can’t see the end of the road. I’m going to tell you we’re at a mile marker today in the Spirit. And a mile marker shows you where you’re at on the road, and I believe that what you’re about to see is you’re at a mile marker and just around the corner you’re coming out of the wilderness into the promises of God. You’re going to have the answers you’ve been looking for and you’re going to see. God gave me during my time Isaiah, Chapter 61, I’m 61 years old, Isaiah Chapter 61 and Verse Number 3, and he said, “What I’m going to do is I’m going to give you beauty for your ashes.” I want to say today that God is going to give some people some beauty for the ashes you’ve had in your life. And God gave me a whole thing about Job, because Job was sitting in an ash heap scraping himself. There are people that are right now, it looks like your world has turned to ashes, but God is about to resurrect you. Your best days are ahead of you. The same Jesus that got up from the dead is about to resurrect your life and it’s going to be the best days. It’s going to be Heaven on Earth for you people that will, believe me, many of you are being delivered right now by the power of Almighty God.
