SID: Hello Sid Roth your investigative reporter here with Peter Wyns. I don’t know about you but I remember as a young boy, focusing on a subject: what happens when you die? And I started to try to visualize what it be like if I was dead. Now you picture a little eight year old kid, six year old kid, trying to visualize this. The thoughts were so gross and the thoughts were so objectionable, I did the only logical thing that I could think of; I blocked it from my mind. Now I come from a Jewish background, and in Judaism we do talk about life after death; however no one ever talked to me about that. On this show you are going to understand what happens when someone dies; perhaps some of you for the very first time. My guest is Peter Wyns. I have been so looking forward to meeting him, because I knew his grandfather. Now your grandfather was a very unique man; because he not only was a scholar, but he had great intimacy with the Spirit of God. Tell me about Derek Prince’s scholarship.
PETER: Yes Derek Prince was trained in Eaten, in Cambridge, in England, he was from a very aristocratic English background, he got to the place where he could speak Latin and Greek as a young teenager, and nine languages he spoke.
SID: As a teenager; he must have absolutely brilliant.
PETER: He really was he studied philosophy and logic and this all happened before he became a Christian, which happened while he was a soldier in the war, in the Second World War.
SID: Now Peter, one of the things that impressed me about your grandfather was that they lived in Israel, with his wife Lydia and they adopted how many children?
PETER: They adopted at that time eight and then one African baby later; there were nine girls in all that they adopted and my mother was wonderful.
SID: You think that you have problems how would you like nine adopted children living in Israel for starters. Now Peter there is a very interesting story about your mother, tell me about her.
PETER: My mother was a little Jewish baby, Magdalene Miriam Cats was her birth name and when she was five days old, for some reason, obvious trauma that we don’t know about; her father was a Rabbi, left her at the doorstep of Lydia Christianson who became Lydia Prince. Basically he threw this baby into Lydia’s arms and Lydia; who was caring for already four little girls; took her in and took her clothes off. The skin peeled off of my mother, the little baby at the time,
SID: She hadn’t been taken care of.
PETER: She hadn’t been taken care of, exactly. And there was her birth certificate stuck there with her clothes, and Lydia nursed her back to life. And then my mother grew there with all of those other girls; there was eighty that they cared for during those years; and then when she was fifteen years of age, 1948 Israel became a nation and she was there.
SID: Now that was such an historical moment, but now I want to fast forward with the son, you. You would think that, your father was a minister, your grandfather was this great, renowned scholar; with that type of heritage, that you would follow God and be a good, what we call a mench, be a good human being. But at a young age you had a crisis, and I want to take you to, you were on a bus, and something very supernatural happened to you.
PETER: Yes, I was really rebellious towards God, my family, my dad who was a Christian preacher; and I hated the whole thought of church, and everything associated with it. But God was getting after me and on that bus he spoke to me in my heart. I knew He was saying, before you get off of this bus, you are going to have to make a choice; whether you are going to follow me or go the way of your own independence; the way of the world you might say. And on that bus, I knew enough because I had been raised in a Christian home, that before you can really get anywhere with God, you’ve got to give him your life. And so on the bus, with nobody else there that I knew, I bowed my head, said a prayer, asked the Lord to forgive me of all of my sins and wrong doings, and to wash me and cleanse me. And I received what he did for me on the cross, of Calvary when he paid for my sins. And that moment on the bus I had a marvelous supernatural experience that changed the agenda of my life.
SID: But you made a deal; tell me about the deal.
PETER: I did, I was fourteen and I don’t know if I would recommend this for everybody but I said, God I don’t know if you are real,
SID: You just gave him your life what do you mean you don’t know if he is real?
PETER: Well just before I gave him my life, I said God I don’t know if you are real; and if you are I would be a fool not to follow you. So I said I am going to give you my life for one week; and if during one week you prove yourself to me, that you exist beyond my feelings and emotions; then I will serve you in any way that you want for the rest of my life. And so then, I gave my life to the Lord, and with this condition that it was a one-week give, conditional upon give proving Himself to me.
SID: And it is so phenomenal what happened at the end of this week we will pick up right here when we come back I mean there is an amazing miracle that is going to take place.
