SID: I mean, there are people with, that are, I’m going to let Randy tell you about it. Tell me a few people with schizophrenia or mental problems that were instantly healed.
RANDY: It was like a goliath taunting Israel’s army because I had a young man with schizophrenia in my church. We were seeing a lot of physical healing, but we weren’t seeing any mental healing. And I said, according to Psalms 2:3, it says, “Praise the Lord O my soul, forget not all his benefit who forgives us all of sin and heals all our diseases.” So I said, “Lord, it says all, it doesn’t just say just physical. That includes mental illness as well as physical.” So we worked and prayed for that. There was a man, he heard the Lord speak to him and he goes and gets his daughter who he doesn’t bring her because she was paranoid schizophrenic. She had obsessive compulsive disorder and anorexia. And when he brought her, a friend of mine, an engineer by trade was starting a new church there, reached over and just said, “I bless you in Jesus’ name,” and she fell out. And then that night when she went home she heard the Lord speak to her and say, “I anoint your head with oil,” and she did, “I anoint your whole body with oil,” and she did. She was knocked to the floor and stuck to the floor like electricity going through her body until morning. And when she got up she was mentally normal and healthy.
Girl: Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
SID: All right, you think that’s something. Tell me about the woman with severe schizophrenia and what the doctor had to say about this, the psychiatrist.
RANDY: So I was telling that story on a bus about our teams in Brazil. And one of the persons on the team is a psychiatrist, and he said, “Come here.” He said, “You don’t have any idea how miraculous that story is.” He said, “My field is mental illness. I am a psychiatrist and for me to capture for you how miraculous healing of someone with schizophrenia is, if I was a normal doctor or a surgeon, it would be like telling you that somebody had their arm or leg cut off and it grew back. That’s how miraculous schizophrenia is.”
SID: And it’s just that simple with God.
RANDY: Yeah.
SID: I want to take you by way of video camera right into some of Randy’s meetings. You want to see this. Someone’s holding a person’s glass eye and then you see where that glass eye belonged in the socket. It’s not there anymore because there’s an eye there. Do you want to see this? Okay. I know you want to see it. Let’s roll it.
[begin video]
RANDY: Twenty years ago she lost this eye. You can see the pupil had been formed in the back of the white. The eye was very small, it wasn’t formed. It was something way back in the back, and she had a glass eye over it to make it stick out and look normal. She had this instead of an eye there and now she doesn’t need it. This was in the socket, how far back it went. And now, look at that.
Woman 1: I had multiple sclerosis. I’ve been diagnosed for ten years now. I came here in a wheelchair, wheelchair-bound. And Randy was speaking and just different people for healing. And all of a sudden, I just felt all this happening like electric current going through my legs. It was God was doing a miracle in my body.
RANDY: What was your problem? What were you healed of?
Woman 2: A metal plate sticking out of my arm for years, and in front of everyone, and I watched it as we were praying instantly, it went back and it was gone!
[applause, cheers]
Woman 3: That’s my foot, my crooked foot. That was my crooked foot. Woo!
[applause, cheers]
Woman 4: I had been missing the part of the bone in my hip for about three years now. I have had severe pain when I’m running and I haven’t been able to move my hip in a certain direction for three years. And now I can.
[applause, cheers]
Woman 4: I couldn’t do that for three years.
RANDY: Hallelujah!
[end video]
SID: Wow, I have to applaud on that one, too. Randy, you are finding so many people that have metal in their body and pain from that metal, and the pain disappears. But this is ridiculous. You did research on people that have pain because they had metal and all the pain went out the window. How many did you research and verify?
RANDY: Well I know that since 2009, there’s been around 1400 healings that dealt with chronic pain or loss of range of motion due to surgically implanted material, which is, my thesis was on this for my doctoral dissertation at the Methodist seminary. During that year, I studied it for a year though, we had hundreds that we studied on five continents and there was, you know, hundreds were healed.
SID: And you know what I love? Randy has doctors that travel with him and he documents, how many have you documented miracles, period, on video?
RANDY: Well when I got ready to come here to you, one of the questions was, have you seen any new healings since you were here last? So I sent you 106 pages of single space that’s just the transcription of videos, people giving their testimony on video.
SID: I think that answers the question pretty good. So what happens when you’re having, God is using, you’re running all over the world and the doctor says, you have to stop flying. Why did he say that?
RANDY: I had classic travelers’ back and three pinched, three herniated discs, two pinched nerves and severe pain. I was on Percocet and lots of heavy narcotics and they told me if I got better by physical therapy alone I’d be a poster child, that they thought I’d have to have surgery after—
SID: I tell you what, hold that thought. When we come back, do you think God is going to put up with this man not being able to fly all over the world and represent his Kingdom? Of course not. We’ll find out what happened when we come back.
