Our Guest Kynan Bridges

SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest was on an airplane minding his own business and all of a sudden, he was taken up to Heaven, and the Messiah of Israel said to him, “Tell my people there is more, so much more.” And this more is all obtained from being in the presence of God, 24/7. Every promise of God that he’s made to you in the past, every promise that’s in the Bible, when God says this it’s true: all things are yours.

 

Is there a supernatural dimension, a world beyond the one we know? Is there life after death? Do angels exist? Can our dreams contain messages from Heaven? Can we tap into ancient secrets of the supernatural? Are healing miracles real? Sid Roth has spent over 35 years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid for this edition of It’s Supernatural.

 

SID: You know, Kynan, let’s whet their appetite. You’re in your congregation. The presence of God comes in. There’s a woman who was in an auto accident. What happened?

 

KYNAN: Well this was an amazing experience. There’s a lady that comes to this meeting that we have and literally we are worshiping God, we are lifting up our voice in worship and the presence of God invades the room, and it was an amazing experience. You could feel it. It was palpable. You can literally, people could almost touch the presence. And as we’re doing that, a woman comes in and the presence of God hits her, and when the presence hits her, she falls to the ground and she begins to cry out in what sounds like agony. She’s screaming as if something is burning on the inside of her, and this goes on for quite some time. Afterwards, they pick her up and they take her to her vehicle, literally in a drunken state. She’s almost drunken. And after that, two days later when I saw this woman, she had on workout gear. She had been working out. She had been running. She ran nine miles. And she comes to me, and she says, “I ran nine miles.” I said, “Okay.” She says, “You don’t understand. I was in a car accident about four or five years ago and it shattered almost all the bones in my lower body, and those bones had to be replaced with metal and all these kinds of things, and the doctors told me I would never walk, I would never run, I would never play sports, I would never wear high heels, all of the things.” And she said, “I just ran nine miles without any pain.” She brought me four pages of x-rays and the metal had been fused into bone. This was what we would call a creative miracle.

 

SID: Do you know what you saw? You saw just a foretaste of what is going to be normal.

 

KYNAN: Yes.

 

SID: Now, there are so many pastors that love God and they’re burned out, and they don’t even know it. You were one.

 

KYNAN: I was burnt out, Sid. I really was, honestly. And I didn’t even realize I was burnt out. I was just tired of church. I know that sounds bad. I was tired of church. I was frustrated with ministry, not seeing the results. And I got to a place where I was just so frustrated. And you get to a place where you’re going through the motions. You’re saying all the right things, but there’s no presence. And that’s where I was, honestly.

 

SID: That’s called religion.

 

KYNAN: That’s religion.

 

SID: At its stickiest.

 

KYNAN: It is. I like that, yes. So I got to this place where I began to cry out to God because when I was praying, nothing would happen. I didn’t feel anything. It just felt like a ritual. And one day, I was praying early in the morning. I’ll never forget it. I was praying behind my sofa. We had an extra room like an extra living room with another sofa there, and I was praying behind my sofa. And I was just really trying to toil and struggle to get a prayer through, and nothing was happening. So I cried out to God in desperation and I said, “Lord, just touch me.” And all of a sudden, I sensed someone standing behind me, and then the Lord opened my eyes in the Spirit, and I saw an angel. This angel took a bucket of water and he poured it on top of me. It was ice cold. I don’t know if you’ve ever felt ice cold water on your body.

 

SID: No, but I have seen coaches when they win championship games and I feel sorry for them.

 

KYNAN: It was like that. It was like a bucket of ice cold water was poured on top of my head. And immediately I jumped up. I began to shout, I began to pray in the Spirit, I began to run around and I felt the Glory of God, I felt the presence of God. It’s like I was supercharged, revitalized. It’s like somebody took a defibrillator and just shocked me back to life again. And all of a sudden, my prayers were so powerful, they had so much substance, and I said, “God, what happened?” And I said, “What’s the name of that angel?” And the angel spoke and said, “My name is Joy.”

 

SID: Wow. That is wonderful.

 

KYNAN: The Bible says, “The joy of the Lord is our strength.”

 

SID: You needed joy.

 

KYNAN: And when you get to that place, oh, I feel the presence now. When you get to that place of desperation where you want God, you want more, you don’t want a formula, you don’t want a ritual, you don’t want religion anymore, but you just want to know God, you want to touch God, you want to feel Heaven, that’s where I was, Sid. And I cried out, and Heaven heard my cry, and Heaven invaded the earth.

 

SID: You know, every true believer wants what you say.

 

KYNAN: Yes.

 

SID: But God showed you how. That’s why I ask these questions.

 

KYNAN: Yes.

 

SID: Okay. Talk to me. I want to get to that point. Tell me what to do.

KYNAN: One of the first keys is intimacy with the Holy Spirit. You know, Jesus said that “We shall know the truth and the truth will make us free.” Most people don’t even know what that verse of Scripture means. We think it means we’ll know more information and that information will liberate us. But that’s not what he’s talking about. He uses a Hebrew idiom, which is the word “knowledge” or “ginosko”. You remember when the Bible says in Genesis, “Adam knew Eve and she conceived.” That’s the same word Jesus is using. Speaking to this Jewish audience that knows what he means, he’s saying there is place called intimacy where we become filled with this intimate encounter with God and it causes us to become impregnated with the miraculous. Literally, we’re giving birth to something. And so when God says to know the truth, truth is a person. It’s not a concept. It’s not mental ascent. It’s not—

 

SID: It’s not rules and regulations.

 

KYNAN: It’s not rules and regulations. Jesus is the truth. Yeshua is the truth and to know him is eternal life.

 

SID: How many people know that we can know THE truth, the Messiah of Israel, in an experiential way and then be free? When we come back I want to find out about you’re on a plane coming back from England and God spoke to you after he went to a place that he wasn’t headed. He was headed back to America. He went to a new country. It was called Heaven. Be right back.
