DAVID: Well somehow we had a strategy that [CHUCKLES] worked. I’ll tell you later after the show what we did. But they let us rent it out, right there, and people came in, and it was awesome! And so I’m talking, and I’m like, “Holy Spirit, show up please! I need something here.” And I’m just talking, and they’re listening, and I’m – and I, you know, you need the supernatural to show up be besides just show praying for them. And I give some testimonies about bald heads growing hair, cancer being healed – just the things I’ve seen – and I just tell them, “Check your body; if something like that’s happened, let me know during this speech.” As I’m talking, a man starts to scream and holler and make a big commotion, and I thought, “Oh, getting persecution here maybe”.
SID:
[CHUCKLES]
DAVID:
And I said, “Sir, what’s the problem?”, and he goes, “My hair!
I’m growing hair on the top of my head!” And his wife was there, checking
it. And he had hair that was not there; he was completely bald. And, you know,
Jewish – little short Jewish – round Jewish guy.
SID:
But you had said he – see, and this is how I understand the glory operates!
When the glory shows up, and combines with the Word of God, everything happens
quick!
DAVID:
Yeah! It’s really fast! And then another lady, a Jewish lady was with a walker;
she couldn’t’ walk without a walker. She screams, “WHOO!” And all of
a sudden –
SID:
[LAUGHS]
DAVID:
she throws the walker, and she starts walking by herself! And I’m looking, and
I – and I’m not – and I p I’m on the stage, so I said, “Why don’t you come
up!”, so I’m trying to help her up. She goes, ” Excuse me young man,
I can get up by myself!”
SID:
[LAUGHS]
DAVID:
Very Jewish older lady!
SID:
Yeah!
DAVID:
So, “Okay!”, so she gets up by herself on the stage, and everyone’s
like, “!”, so the whole crowd was just like, “Wow!” And –
and there was no praise and worship, there was no NOTHING, because we couldn’t’
do it in there. We just raw, just glory show up, like you do, and God showed
up! And then they all got saved! Whoever wasn’t a Believer was a Believer that night.
SID: just out of curiosity – and maybe you can’t
answer this – but I really, I’m – I want to press you on this, David. I’ve been to your meetings. The glory shows
up, [VIDEO BEGINS]
SID:
people lose weight supernaturally. I mean I was at one meeting where each night
a guy would come, and he’d say, “See! My belt, belt”, and it’s
continuing!
DAVID:
[CHUCKLES]
SID:
“My belt buckle is on – I’m on another notch!” [VIDEO ENDS]
SID: [CHUCKLES] I’m on another notch!” And I
saw another woman. She had gray hair – because she was seated right in front of
me, [VIDEO BEGINS] and I was watching her – and I watched the gray hair turn
brown!
DAVID:
[LAUGHS]
SID: but i-it’s got to do with your love for God,
which then he shows up big with the glory. [VIDEO ENDS] But, tell me how YOU
got into this. How did it start with you ?
DAVID:
The signs and wonders?
SID:
The glory!
DAVID:
The glory, yeah. Well, after that 6 – so first, Israel, you know.
SID:
Um hm.
DAVID:
I went to Israel; then God touched me; I was crying, and God said, “Now it
begins in a 5 year a revival.” And after the 5th year, after the end of
the 6-month revival in Paris, I started getting hungry again for something even
greater, but I didn’t know what I was LOOKING for, and I started reading Acts
chapter 4!
SID:
excuse me; he just gave you a clue! And don’t miss it! He “got
hungry”. Now, hunger – to that degree was coming from God. But do you know
something? You can start it! And in fact, a lot of things start in the natural,
and end up in the supernatural. Okay; you were “hungry”, and then
what happened?
DAVID:
Well, I was hungry in the middle of a 6-monty revival, so you would think that
was the climax of my ministry.
SID:
Yeah!
DAVID:
But towards the middle of it, I start feeling empty inside, like there was
something greater than the present revival I was in! And the Lord said,
“If you pull out of this revival, and seek My face, I’ll put you into a
greater glory”! So I had to sacrifice the present move of God, being known
as the guy that brought – and I said, “I don’t care about being known. I
want – there’s got to be more than” – and this is awesome what we saw, but
I’m not comparing it to what other ministries are doing. I’m looking at the
Bible – Peter’s shadow’s healing the sick, signs and wonders, multitudes
getting saved – and I said, “Okay”, so I quit the revival. I pulled
out after 6 months, which w-was the time to leave, I think. And then God said to me, “Seek My face”;
I did.
SID:
Stop. What – what does that mean? What does “seeking His face” – what
did that mean? What did YOU do to seek His face?
DAVID:
I did everything I knew to do.
SID:
huh.
DAVID:
So I fasted and prayed for like 21 days; I felt God told me to do it; I didn’t’
want to. I felt – then I was still hungry. I would pray, worship, repent of
anything I could think of.
SID:
Um hm.
DAVID:
And then, at the end of that – it was a few months period, I just said,
“Lord, if you don’t bring this new glory, I don’t want it; I’m not going
to preach anymore.” I was like that desperate. I HAVE to have something,
because I’ve tasted so much now.
SID:
I-I’ve heard men of God say, “God, either show up, or kill me! Take me to
Heaven!”
DAVID:
Well I was almost like that; –
SID:
I’ve –
DAVID:
“I’m going to go up to Heaven”, and
SID:
Yeah!
DAVID:
or, “or you come down”, but I just –
SID:
Or,
DAVID:
because I’m not – I’ve heard –
SID:
I’ve heard some people say, “I’m going into my bedroom, and I’m going to
stay here” –
DAVID:
Yeah.
SID:
“till God shows up.”
DAVID:
Well it’s – basically it was –
SID:
That was the desperation of you .
