Sid Roth welcomes Mark Pool

SID:  Hello, Sid Roth your investigative reporter here with Mark Pool, and Mark, you are provoking me to jealously.  You realize the Bible says that the Gentile Christian is to provoke the Jew to jealously.  You are doing an excellent job.  You see, I mean this is not fair, I protest, this is not fair.  You see a ticker-tape over people and just state what is going on in their life.  Have you always had this ability?

MARK:  Well Sid, actually since birth I feel like it has just always been there, but you’ve always noticed.  You know you have provoked me to jealously in the fact that you’re a completed Jewish person.  I have always had a revelation wanting to know more of your Father.  So I think it is a two fold street, but yes.

SID:  Well, you know one of my favorite subjects to talk about is called the one new man, when there is a special presence and call and destiny in God on the physical Jew.  There is a special destiny, and presence and call of God on the Gentile Christian.  Now when those two presences merge together, it’s called the one new man.  And when those two anointings, if you will, come together, Paul calls it life from the dead in Romans eleven, an explosion.  But I want to know more about you right now.  I want to go back to your mom.  Your mom had experiences with a number of famous evangelists, but one in particular, William Branham.  Did he over pray over her?

MARK:  Absolutely, and my mother absolutely carried, I believe, this mantle of signs, wonders, miracles and the prophetic.

SID:  Tell me something you remember seeing with your mother?

MARK:  I remember seeing my mother pray over me about issues that nobody could have known except God told her.  So I could absolutely hide from nothing.

SID:  Now before you were born, what did God tell her about you?

MARK:  She waited until I was twelve, because she didn’t want to play the Holy Spirit roll.  She actually wanted the Lord to direct my steps, and as I walked forward and surrendered my life to the ministry she told me that next day, she said, the Lord spoke to me the only time in my life audibly when he said his name shall be called Mark and he will be a prophetic voice to the nations.

SID:  Now, why Mark?

MARK:  I think it’s because she and I both agreed together that Mark was the first gospel, because he was expedient to get the gospel written.  And she said I feel like God was telling you to be expedient to be obedient and get the word of God out to the nations.

SID:  But there was a point in your life where you heard God’s voice, you were telling me about it yesterday.  And it was to go see your mother, but you figured, she was in a nursing home at this point. I can go anytime, so tell me about that.

MARK:  Yes, I was traveling towards the eastern part of Texas from Dallas. And I knew I would pass the nursing home and I wanted to go to a meeting, and the Lord said, You must go now.  So I tried to argue a little bit with God as I do sometimes but he said now.  And as I walked in, she was writhing in pain.  She had been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer.  So as I walked in the room, she had just been praying that my son, the minister, would come in and pray over me.

SID:  You almost missed that.

MARK:  Almost missed it.  Close.

SID:  So you walk in the room.

MARK:  Walked in the room and I said, Mother can I just pray for you right at this moment, and she said, please do son.  So I began to pray the spirit of, I felt God just come into the room, like the Spirit of His presence was there. And she said I don’t feel anymore pain.  Actually I feel like God has actually healed me right now, at this moment.  And so at that moment I began to realize that this was a special moment God ordained.  And she asked me a question; she said Son, what can I do for you?  And naturally you know a son is like, I don’t need anything Mother.  We’ve just had a wonderful time in the Lord, I’ll just go on to my meeting and we’ll see you later.  And the Holy Spirit prompted me and said, ask her now for the double portion of that prophetic mantle.  And so I asked her.  And she said, Son, I’ve been waiting to know who wanted this, and now I know it is you.  Come kneel down by my bed.  And as I knelt down by her bed, I actually pulled my shoes off.  I felt like it was in the days of, maybe Abraham, Isaac, and so forth; you know it was a very special moment in my life.  I get emotional about it.  But she laid her little hands upon my head, and she says, Lord I transfer, even double he has asked for, for this prophetic mantle.  You know I’ve tried to carry it forth in my life, it’s so hard.  It has been so difficult, and even though I haven’t finished it Lord, let him carry this mantle and let it be your voice to the nations.  As you can imagine, it was very emotional, mother and son, and I walked away from that place that day, transformed.  I’d like to say it’s all been wonderful, but from that moment on actually it was more of a crushing.

SID:  Why is it that we humans can’t just follow God without the crushing; but then the answer is Jesus?

MARK:  That’s it.

SID:  There would have been no salvation for us if Jesus wasn’t crushed.

MARK:  Exactly.  See we couldn’t do it.  And I think the more strong-willed a person is, as an apostle, a prophet, or a five-fold ministry gift.  A lot of high “D”, a lot of get it done is in you.  But that won’t really bring the anointing.

SID:  You know it’s like these television shows we’re doing today.  A lot of things were going wrong, and I’m sitting back here getting so frustrated because my guests are so wonderful and what God’s done in their life is so wonderful and one of my guest reminded me, he said, Sid, don’t you think the Holy Spirit is no charge.  And by the way, he is so in charge he just healed you right now.  There is someone with a neck problem, if you will move your head you will see that that pain is gone and the presence of God.  You know Mark, the presence of God is moving right down the spine, and people are being healed, the backs are being healed right now, and there are people that so want to have an encounter with the living God, I believe you are going to.  Because He wants it more than you do.  Now Mark, tell me about one person that the tickertape was moving on and what God told you about that person and what you said.

MARK:  I can remember specifically in Little Rock, Arkansas.  I had been there in ministry and had paused for a Benny Hinn Crusade actually, and I walked outside ant the Lord said go to the bus station.  Well, you know when you are wanting to relax that is not the place you go, you’d rather go to your hotel room.  And so I argued again with the Lord a little bit and went over to the bus station with a couple of ministers to grab a cup of coffee.  We were a little bit weary in the middle of the day and standing by the coffee machine and the Lord says “Don’t get your coffee, deal with the young man getting the coffee.”  I said “Lord I don’t know him.”  He goes, “But I do.”  So I walked over and I said, “Young man can I ask you something, can I share with you something that God has just given me?”  And he goes, “Excuse me, what?”  And I said, “Well I see you are running from the Lord and you are headed into a drug deal and if you go on that drug deal you are going to probably lose your life; actually the Lord told me to tell you that you would.  That it is serious with God in your life right now.  You have a praying grandmother on her knees at this moment, and you have a wife that loves the Lord more than ever.  She’s on her knees right now.  And it has moved the heart of God to bring an intersection to your life; you’ll have to make a decision now.”  He said, “My God you’re with the F.B.I.” He said, “You all found me.”  I said, “No, God found you, prayer found you.”  He began to weep.  I said “Let’s just cut through the chase.  It looks pretty serious to me.  How about let’s pray.”  And we grabbed each other’s hand, just led him through a simple prayer of salvation.  The man received Jesus. He said, “I’m canceling my ticket.  I’m not going to that drug deal.  I’m headed to my little grandmother on up here in Arkansas and I’m going to tell her, there was a crazy man, sent from God, no doubt from your prayers, and I’m a changed human.”

SID:  I’ll tell you what there need to be more crazy men around.  Don’t go away, we’re going to find out when Mark died, and had a heavenly visitation.  Be right back after this word.
