Sid Roth welcomes Retha McPherson

Do angels exist? Are healing miracles real? Is there life after death? Can people get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance? Sid Roth has spent twenty-five years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of, “It’s Supernatural.”

 

SID: Hello Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it is naturally supernatural. My guest from South Africa, she was actually Mrs. South Africa, good marriage, wonderful children, wonderful career, everything is perfect. And one night her husband is driving the entire family and her whole life shattered, explain.

 

RETHA: Yes, it was a very bad car accident and after the accident we all fell out of the car and me and my husband tried to figure out where the children were and they weren’t in the car anymore. So I ran around in the dark night to find my children, and that was really the worst day of my life to realize they were not in the car anymore. We found the little one and he was first out of the car, and then he was explaining later to us, cause he only had a couple of bruises and cuts, that Jesus caught him. And the moment he said that I thought you know we taught our children nice, I didn’t take it serious, and then I found my son at the opposite of the highway on the other side of the highway.

 

SID: It was dark, how did you find him there?

 

RETHA: You know I was running round, everybody that stopped just called out his name, and he didn’t answer. And as I was running around, I asked the Lord, Lord you help me. And the next thing the Spirit of God just led me to the other side of the highway, my husband said to me he would never be there, he will never be there, it is too far. But I ran and I just fell over his body.

So I spoke to him but he was already in a coma so I thought he was dead.

 

SID: But you were also concerned that another car might hit you, it was coming toward you and it was night, what happened to you at that moment?

 

RETHA: While I was busy with him trying to figure out if he was alive or not, a car tried to  avoid the accident scene and all the people stopped, so he went in the bush and this was exactly where we were. So I jumped up because I realized this car is going to drive over us. And as I jumped up and I looked into the lights of the vehicle, a very strange thing happened to me, my whole body started shaking, but not like when you are cold, it’s like really, really shaking. And I was looking at the lights of this car and the next thing after the shaking the heat, it is like fire, I could tell where it went, it went right through my whole body, and after that, I could say it is here and then at my feet, and right after that the peace of the living God was with me. And to have peace in this worse situation…

 

SID: It’s almost impossible to imagine.

 

RETHA: But that is when the presence of God is there then you have that peace.

 

SID: And of course you son, you could see, was dead, but you found out later when you were having that peace, what was going on with your son?

 

RETHA: When I had this peace, he was in heaven. Jesus, what happened actually, then later on after he was in a coma for months, and he came out of the coma and couldn’t speak, the only thing he could do was write, and then he was explaining what he was writing to me, that night at that bad accident scene I looked into Jesus eyes, Messiah’s eyes, where he took him, picked him up and took him to heaven where he was in heaven the whole time and God was teaching him the word, the word of God is today in his heart.

 

SID: Did he know the word; did he know the Bible?

 

RETHA: Oh no, oh no not at all, I mean he was a normal, 12-year-old kid.

 

SID: So while he was in heaven the whole word was downloaded into him?

 

RETHA: Absolutely, today he can tell you any scripture. When he writes he can just download scriptures. And then in heaven the time, and he also said, “If you do not surrender me Mommy to Jesus, I would have been dead.” And so yeah…

 

SID: How did he know you surrendered him to Jesus?

 

RETHA: For me that was the strangest part because he could not, because he was in a coma in my eyes, but while he was on the machines and they told me that they would stop the machines I ran opposite, I stayed in a room, I ran into the room and did a strange thing in my eyes, I took my jacket and I pulled it over my face. And I didn’t know then, but today I know that it is like a prayer closet, and I called out to the Lord.

 

SID: We Jewish people used to take a talliet and put it, and some still do it today over our head, and that’s what Jesus did when he said, “Go into the closet,” he put the talliet or prayer shawl over his head.

 

RETHA: Yes, and then God spoke to me in an audible voice and he said to me, “Are you willing to surrender him to me?” And I really was not ready but God asked that from Abram and he asks it for all of us, because he was like an idol in my life, and God don’t want us to have idols, and he wants to be our first love, and that is why I needed to surrender him and that is why he could know that I surrendered him to Jesus. And he said to me in this letter, if you did not surrender me I would have been dead.

 

SID: Well you know the thing that is really hard for me to comprehend is when I look at your book, A Message From God, it says I want to dedicate this book to Duane and Anton in heaven, what is this all about?

 

RETHA: All the time while he was in heaven God showed him the whole place and the houses and the children and the babies and everything. And then he came back and one day he starts writing about the two children he saw in heaven, so he gave the addresses of the parents, and he was studying about birth children, how they are so happy in heaven that they do not want to come back. But the children are worried about the parents, have they ever surrendered their life to  Jesus? And he gave this little letter and said, “Your son is happy, he is healed, he is complete, but what about you? So I was really thinking this medicine is too strong, how can this be? And I just kept the letters separate.  And one day a friend visited us and he was writing because he couldn’t speak and said, “My mother is not obedient to God’s voice.” And is said, “What do you mean?”

And he said, “Those three letters.” So this friend of mine took these two letters…

 

SID: How could you find these two kids that he met in heaven?

 

RETHA: He gave the address, he says…

 

SID: He had the address?

 

RETHA: Yes!

 

SID: How could he know the address?

 

RETHA: It’s impossible.

 

SID: Hold that thought. Let me tell you something, this is amazing. And when you find out what Aldo is writing, messages from God, you’ll be, I mean this is so wonderful. Not many books will I read twice, but this is a book I want to read many times because it has got the life of God in here, intimacy with God, don’t go away, we’ll be right back.
