Sid Roth welcomes Brian Adams

 

Sid:  My guest Dr. Brian Adams received a revelation from God and from this revelation that he received he has seen his healing ministry increase to upwards of 80% of the people get healed.  Now, previously he had a healing ministry but like most other people, but it went off the chart.  But then he found that this revelation from God literally gives him an open heaven in most of the arenas of life that he previously didn’t have.  Now, in the year 2000 Brian, God spoke to you and he gave you this revelation which has transformed every aspect of your ministry.  What did God say to you? 

 Brian:  Well, I had just coming out of a long fast that the Lord had instructed me to do and one day in prayer Sid I was just walking back and forth and enjoying the presence of God and He spoke and He said “Faith moves me Son but forgiveness releases my power.”

Sid:  So if someone were to pose the question to God, God I know that you have power.  I know that you paid the price 2,000 years ago for everyone of my needs that I have in this thing called life, but how do I get your power released in my life?  He just answered that question.

 Brian:  Amen.

Sid:  Repeat that again. 

Brian:  The Spirit of the Lord spoke to me Sid, he said “Faith moves me but forgiveness releases my power.”  He even prayed, he told us that he was teaching the disciples to pray.  Pray that His Kingdom would come and the way that His Kingdom comes is when like Jesus the Messiah, when He came he was one of the first people in human form that ever went around and began to forgive people.  They even said in Mark Chapter 2 verse 7: “Why does this man speak thus speak blasphemies?  Who can forgive sins but God only?”  Now Jesus was bringing God’s mentality to the planet.  He was bringing His way of doing things you know, because before, once a year the priest would go in and he would do an offering to forgive sins.  And from year to year, people was hiding their sins cause if they got caught they was going to be stoned, they would be killed.  There was no mercy but praise God, there’s mercy now. 

 Sid:  A, I find it very fascinating, your background of how you came to the Lord.  You should from a probability viewpoint the last thing in the world you should be is a Pastor.  I mean when you were a young kid, did you ever think that you would be connected with ministry? 

Brian:  When I was young if someone would have looked at me and said you’re going to be a man of God.  You’re going to be preaching the gospel, casting out devil, healing the sick, baffling the world; I’d looked at you and said, “What drug are you on?”

Sid:  But, speaking of drugs, you were raised in a Christian home but, you quickly became addicted to drugs yourself, became a dealer.  And you were diagnosed with things such as bipolar, and schizophrenia, but two years before you had your encounter with the Lord in 1983 you had an experience with your sixteen year old nephew, tell me about that.

 Brian:  Okay, his dad had died when he was about three years old; he was a Viet Nam Veteran.  Came back had really had some trauma while he was there like so many of the previous military men had had.  He committed suicide.  Now because there was not a man in his life, I became the man that protected him from bullies, he would come to Uncle Brian and say, help me and of course, I would help him.  He came to me one day when he was about sixteen years old now, he said, Uncle Brian, you got to help me.  And he was shaking, he was scared.  I said, “What’s a matter son.  My Dad’s been visiting me for a month and I haven’t told anybody.”  I’m like your Dad’s been visiting, son your Dad’s been dead since your three.  He’s been coming and showing up in military fatigues.  He’s been talking to me, asking me about my mother and asking me about my little brother and he said just the other day, he said, he appeared on the couch out of nowhere.  The TV came on, I saw rock and roll, I saw money, I saw women.  He said, I looked back and it wasn’t my Dad anymore, it was a demon and it said if you worship me and that’s just like Satan.  He wants to steal the worship from God, he said, I’ll give you all this.  Now he came running to me and said Uncle Brian, Uncle Brian, you got to help me.  Of course I was a heathen, a drug addict and a drug dealer but I was protecting him.  I said, you tell that little nasty devil if he shows back up come see Uncle Brian and I’ll take care of him.  Well, he left felling relieved.  I immediately, knowing that I’m a heathen headed to hell, there’s was no way I could deal with demonic powers.  I ran immediately to my mother’s house, who just happened to be having a Bible study and I told her about it and said it’s in your hands.  I left and went to town.  Went to the bar and I started doing cocaine, put some acid in and started drinking because I was scared now. Because, I know that my nephew would tell him he was going to come after me.  And that night as I…

Sid:  I mean that you had done a lot of dumb things but this one Brian, I think was the dumbest.

 Brian:  Sure, it was.  Yes sir it was and I went to my room and I locked the doors like that was going to keep the devil out and I lay down and all of the sudden this demonic presence came in.  The room became ice cold and the hair on every part of my body stood up.  Of course, I’m drunk, I’m on drugs and I don’t know what to do.  But some memory from inside of me I guess from being in churches at times.  As I pulled the comforter over my head, here I am an honorably discharged marine and I’m hiding from this devil.  I hollered, JESUS and even though I wasn’t saved, somehow, my mother’s prayers, whatever; this demon had to honor the Name of Jesus.  It just was phenomenal to me.

Sid:  And, as you know, as an unsaved Jewish man, that was the most striking thing that happened to me, when I had opened, ..You had opened yourself up to the demonic by this dumb thing you said to your nephew and by being in drugs.  I opened myself up to the demonic through occult New Age meditation courses and the Name of Jesus was stronger than the evil that was trying to smother me and even in my unsaved state I could see that.

Brian:  Humph, yes sir, yes sir.

Sid:  And that’s what happened to you.  You saw the power, but you proceeded on your downward spiral.  Amazingly, see when I saw that I immediately came to my senses and repented.  Why didn’t you?

 Brian:  Well, I guess I was dumber than a box of rocks.  I was burnt on drugs and you know, just an old country boy.  And being a marine and being a macho man I thought I could continue, but because I’d seen that there really was something to this name Jesus.  My brother and I were drug dealers, we became, I told him about it and he had some experiences and he became infatuated and I became infatuated.  Now we weren’t saved, but we became infatuated with Jesus and what we did at this time is we started going to Bible studies.  And we’d sit outside the bible study and we would smoke a joint, snort some cocaine and we’d would go inside and sit on the floor and Sid, they’d be talking, Jesus walked on the water.  And I was like, whoa this dude this is phenomenal.

Sid:  But you still, you’re on the downward spiral for the next two years and you reached to the point, you didn’t want to live anymore and you decided to take your life, what happened?

Brian:  Well, I didn’t know enough of the Bible really to help me but I just knew enough to know that, if I’m going to kill myself I said, I don’t know if I have to check in with God, if you make an appointment or you make a reservation or what exactly do you do.  So I had been on acid for all week and putting all the cocaine, actually there was thousands, this is no exaggeration, thousands of dollars of drugs was in me; smoking, snorting, drinking, rock heroine.  I had just finished a bottle of Jack Daniels.  I thought you got to go on a hill, I thought I heard Moses had to go on a hill so I thought you got to go on a hill to have an experience with God.  I drove my Monte Carlo right through a bob wire fence.  The fence post beating on the side of my car.  I get up to the top, I get out and I look up into the heavens and I said, if you’re real, I’m checking in with you before I check out.  And about that time…

Sid:  How did you even know to do that?

Brian:  I guess from my Momma, she taught me all the Bible stories.  I had grown up in a church that was just void of power.  They had the stories but I hadn’t been introduced to the power yet.

Sid:  Or when you were a little boy, your mother kept telling you, if you ever get in a situation you can’t handle, call on the name of JESUS. 

Brian:  You know Sid, there’s a lot of people and they got set free by going through the twelve step and that’s awesome and I’m excited that that’s worked for them..

Sid:  But, you had the one step.

Brian:  I did the one.  One step back, leaned my head back and I screamed at the top of my voice, Jesus.  And now, that was in desperation, you know the scriptures, whosoever, shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be delivered.  Instantly I was no longer high.  Instantly I was no longer…

Sid:  How much drugs did you have in you?

Brian:  Thousands and thousands of dollars.  I was trying to overdose and I just couldn’t do it.

Sid:  How could you be instantly sober?

Brian: Because, like that old someone, that I love so much.  He touched me.  Oh, glory to God and He spoke Sid and one of the first times that I ever heard God speak and He said son, you never have to get high again.

Sid:  How long did it take you to get off of your addiction from that moment?

Brian:  Instantly it was instantly. 

Sid: Instantly?

 Brian:  He must have known that I was just too much of a wimp, to weak or something. Ha ha. He was trying to get my mother out of His face; I’m not sure, because she was such a prayer woman. 

Sid:  Okay, look out time is slipping by but I am so…I just listened to your four CD series, “The Power of Forgiveness” that came from that word from God, that revelation and you have stretched that revelation to the point that where when people really understand the depths of the meaning of forgiveness, which you go into from the scriptures, from examples.  You pray a prayer of impartation for forgiveness.  But the thing that is so amazing to me is that as people walk in this supernatural realm it literally repels sickness, it repels demonic oppression, it repels rejection.  In fact the devil plain can’t touch you.  I urge you to get this series and allow it to be played.  You teach this to your children, your grand children everyone listening should do this.
