SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. Does God the Creator of the Universe control our destiny? We know that God has good plans for our future. We know this. But does he control our destiny? My guest says no. God has a part to play, but we have a part to play and he wants to show you what your part is for the good destiny God has planned for your life. Can I have him share? You know, it must be wonderful to have been raised in a home that was naturally supernatural. What was that like?
TIM: It was awesome. I am so blessed. My dad was an evangelist, but he also pastored churches and it was not unusual because of the emphasis he had on healing to have a lot of the healing evangelists. We had T.L. Osborn, Oral Roberts come to our house when I was a kid. Of course, I didn’t know, they were just ministers.
SID: With that heritage you were shocked one day by God. You’re speaking in a little tiny church and God tells you to give a message that you know, because you have that great heritage, the people couldn’t relate to.
TIM: Oh no. He began to download of information about governing, authority and power, and releasing. And the pastor that asked me to come to share, he was having a special event and that wasn’t what it was about. So I decided I would inform the Lord about it and, “Lord, that’s not what they need to hear and they won’t understand.” And he said, “They’ll understand what I help them to understand and you just declare what I say.” He said, “I’ll help them to understand.” And I began to see that no matter what I was going to share, Holy Spirit was going to communicate, but he was asking me. In fact, he said to me, “I need you to sow this into the region because it’s been requested of my people and I want to grow it there.” And I’m like, can you do that?
SID: You are a natural teacher and you know what people can receive and how to do it.
TIM: Sure.
SID: But what I’m hearing is God says I just need you to show up. Your telling him doesn’t mean a thing. I’m going to make it happen.
TIM: I don’t know how many times I’ve preached a sermon, people come up and say, “That’s exactly what I needed to hear.” And that’s exactly what I didn’t say. I wasn’t talking about that because Holy Spirit knows how to communicate. And today even as we’re communicating he will be giving a message to the people that are hearing it.
SID: And the whole concept, in fact, the whole title of messages you’ve been giving for a long time is planting the heavens. Where did you get this from?
TIM: Well Isaiah 51 and Verse 16, God says, “I will give you my words that you may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth.” And I began to see that’s what God did in the beginning. He planted the heavens with his words and he declared it eight times in the first chapter of Genesis that words are like seeds. The seeds are in what he created. And I began to see how God through his Word planted. He planted the sun, the moon and the stars. He planted the heavens. In other words, the condition of the heavens and the condition of the earth was dependent upon a Word from God. Holy Spirit hovered until he heard the Word from God. Darkness did not dispel until there was a Word from God. The disorder, it was continuously chaotic until there was a Word of God. And God began to show me that if you will decree my Word darkness can leave regions. Darkness can leave light. And you can plant my Word into a situation and it will grow to fullness. You can sow God’s Word into your, plant it into your children, into your vocation and it will cause it come into order. It will produce a creative force that brings it into being.
SID: Is the opposite of that also true? You can plant what you see with your eyes, the negative, and it will also grow?
TIM: Jesus said, “By your words you are justified. By your words you are condemned.” You sentence yourself to live the life that you speak. So if you speak negative words you’re sentencing yourself. In effect, you’re cursing your life.
SID: How does this play out in your own family? Tell me about how it played out with your daughter.
TIM: My daughter leads our praise and worship. And she had one child naturally, a little girl, and then she became pregnant again, but she miscarried. And then she became pregnant again and miscarried. Then she miscarried again, five miscarriages. We were doing a major conference at our church and Rachel leads our praise and worship, and she found out the week of the conference that she was pregnant again. And of course fear comes. This is, she’s had five miscarriages, and she told her husband that she was pregnant, and she told me and my wife. And she came to do the conference, frankly, troubled. One of the ladies at the conference came up and said, “I have a word for your daughter. Could you, would it be okay?” She knew nothing. She said, “The Lord says there is life in you and you will dance the dance of life.” That prophetic word sowed, planted inside of her, and faith came alive, and she began to decree over herself every day. My mind will not cast its fruit before its time. I’m not going to miscarriage. The fruit of the womb is my reward. God’s Word says that life is abundant in me. And of course the rest of us were declaring this baby is going to be healthy, it’s going to go to full term. And we began to decree the Word of the Lord. And of course, nine months later, according to the Word of the Lord, a very healthy little boy was born. She was able to dance the dance of life.
SID: So when we come back I want to find out about the vision you had how angels of commotion are now becoming angels of alignment getting people in place for the greatest move of God’s spirit in history.
TIM: Yes.
SID: Be right back.
