Sid Roth welcomes Steven Brooks

SID: I protest, unfair, my guest, Steven Brooks, wakes up one evening, and not, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 5 angels are in a circle around him! How come you get 5? What is the deal? I’m Jewish, can’t I get something extra?

STEVEN: Well 5 represents grace, so perhaps there was that element of grace, not that I deserve it, but they were certainly there.

SID: And the thing that amazes me, you called them, they were angels that were behind men or women.

STEVEN: Ministered with men, ministered in those revivals.

SID: Why were they there? What was there purpose?

STEVEN: Well they came to talk to me, they said “we want to talk with you about the spirit of Holiness.” And for 30 minutes, they did most of the talking, I was allowed to ask a few questions, but for 30 minutes, they told me how important it is to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord with Holiness. That an individual has a responsibility to do there part.

SID: Is Holiness the way you dress? Is Holiness, an external thing? What were they telling you?

STEVEN: Sure, that is a good question, because when they talked with me, there wasn’t a trace of what we would call legalism, or you can’t do this or you can’t do that. Because in our heart we know the Holy Spirit will lead us to do things, that are pleasing to the Lord. But there is an element of doing things, there are certain things that you don’t want to put into your ears. There are certain things that you don’t want your eyes to see. You want to maintain purity as much as possible, because that also will attract the angels. An impure thought life, the angels pick up on that, In the spirit realm, they are able to see, what we are emanating, what’s radiating out of us.

SID: I have to ask you a question. What happens if someone watches TV, that is very violent, are we talking about something like that, or are we talking about something much deeper?

STEVEN: Yes, No those types of things bring a type of spiritual defilement, and the person may think, that doesn’t affect me, but in the spirit realm, those things are very easily distinguished. Angels can tell what a person is emanating, If you’re emanating the love of God, and that purity, they want to be around you. But if a person puts all kinds of garbage and filth inside of there mind, and inside of there thinking, evil spirits are able to tell what a person is emanating and they will be attracted to that. Impure thoughts, they will gather around that. Thoughts of self-centeredness, depression, that draws them. So there’s ways that we need to live, that are holy and pleasing to the Lord, to please the Lord, and to create and atmosphere that’s conducive to the Holy Spirit.

SID: What else did they do or tell you?

STEVEN: It was interesting, I was looking at one of the angels, and, I don’t know the man that he stood with and served during the revival, that he ministered in, but that angel appeared to me to be one of the most humble beings I have ever seen in my life, so I knew the man that he stood with, must have been extremely humble. So I asked that angel, I said “what was it like to have been in a full blown move of God’s Spirit during the revival that you ministered in?” And he said “Really, we didn’t have much to do with it, we gave all the glory to God, he carried the whole thing.” And that angel just deflected everything, right back on the Lord, and I knew that the man that he helped stand with in ministry must have been an extremely humble man. It kind of reminds me of what it said about Moses, in the book of Numbers, that he was the most humble man on the face of the earth. So there’s somebody today that actually is the most humble person on the face of the earth. So there are categories that God ranks, there are things that we can move into, there’s a race that’s going on, to be closest to the Lord, to be humble.

SID: Now man looks at someone on television someone that has a meeting with 10,000, 100,000 people in attendance, but I think God’s measurement is different then man’s.

STEVEN: It can be completely different, the way the Lord measures success. It’s really being obedient to the Lord and doing what he told you to do, whatever that might be, that’s where the reward is at, that’s where the anointing is at.

SID: Oh, you’ve got to tell me, you’ve experienced, what revival was like. Tell me that.

STEVEN: Right at the end, before they left, they asked me a question, they said “would you like to experience what it is like to be under that power of the Holy Spirit in a full blown move of Gods spirit, a Holy Ghost revival” is what they called it, they actually used what we would consider an old fashioned term. I said “yes!” I said “absolutely!” You know, It wasn’t time to go back to bed, But Sid, when I did that, each one of those angels, reached out with his right hand and extended his index finger, and they touched me with the very tip of their finger, very gently, and I fell out for 2 hours.

SID: What do you mean you fell out?

STEVEN: I was shocked. It was like I got hooked up to some kind of electric current, it just went all through my body, I lost all strength, I fell off the bed.

SID: did you hurt yourself?

STEVEN: I wasn’t bruised or anything, but I was shaking, tremendous shaking for 2 hours, and you know, my mind is still working the whole time this is going on, and I’m thinking, I’m going to wake up my wife, I’m going to wake up my daughter in the next room. because I had left the room to go into a separate room to pray. But it’s one of those things, you just yield to, It’s the Lord doing work. In the early American history, the Shakers and Quakers, that’s how they got those names, the Spirit of God just doing a shaking.

SID: But what was God literally, and maybe you don’t know, but what was God doing in you?

STEVEN: That’s a good question, he was doing a deeper work. He was shaking more of Steven Brooks out, so there could be more of God to fill me up. It’s just a deeper surrender to the Lord, it’s a deeper letting go, it’s a deeper saying “I’ll do anything and I really mean it, as much as I can possible and sincerely express that.” That’s what it is, just making more room for him.

SID: Now did these angels tell you, what’s coming next as far as revival, or no?

STEVEN: That’s one of the things, on that 40 day fast, The Lord talked with me also, on that 10th day, when he came to me, those angels, particularly at that time, those 5 angels, they didn’t speak to me. But the Lord did talk to me, about the next coming healing revival, which is going to be an awesome move of God’s Spirit. It’s already beginning slightly to break upon the church, So I’m one of the people, I’m not really waiting until it breaks to start moving in it, I’ve already been praying and God’s been doing incredible miracles with me.

SID: Listen, you told me some of the miracles, that are going to happen in the next move of God’s Spirit, and Steven Brooks is beginning to have a foretaste of this. Don’t go away, we’ll be back in just one moment.
