Our Guest Richard Mull

RICHARD:  I’m trying to minister to his spirit but he’s [Philip] is screaming bloody murder, staring me in the face. Later I process what’s going on in his head, ‘Dad, why are you singing, these people are hurting me, get off of me’-

AUDIENCE:  [LAUGHTER]

RICHARD: I don’t know-but my desire is to just minister to his spirit. Little did I know that about 36 or 48 hours later I would be pulling him off my chest laying him on a table and saying, ‘He’s gone.’ Because of the medicines that they had forced us while we were there to give him against our better judgment. I think [advice that was] against the Holy Spirit. Trust the voice of the spirit of God more than you trust any doctor.

AUDIENCE:  Yes. Amen.

RICHARD:  We had grounds for a legal suit and everything, but the Lord said, ‘Do you want him healed or do you want to fund your ministry? I said, ‘I want my son.’ And for the next ten weeks, after God raised him from the dead, I was in the hospital every night and I would stay there and every night I’d get down close to him. And he’s in a drug induced coma, he doesn’t react to hardly anything, I think there were times that he saw angels cause all of a sudden his face would light up and he turned his head and look across the room and I was [thinking], ‘What are you seeing, I wish I could see what you’re seeing – because he’d been forty minutes with Jesus. But I’d get down there and I’d start singing to him. Nurses would come in and I’d sing under my breath but they’d [say], ‘I want to hear’ and I’d sing a little bit louder-

RICHARD: [SINGING] ‘Don’t you know the Father loves you?  Don’t you know how much He cares? Don’t you know He’s thinking of you? Don’t you know He sees you there? He sees right in to every part of you. He sees right in the very heart of you. He loves you like no other could. He loves you like no other would. He sees the hurt, the pain that you’ve been through. And He longs to comfort and rescue you. He loves you like no other could. He loves you like no other would’-    

RICHARD: There he [Philip] was hopeless, helpless according to man’s idea he’d never come out of a coma, he would never talk again, he would never do anything. We never believed that. Stood there over him, prayed over him when he was helpless. I wish I could have taken his place, but I couldn’t. God wants you to know that His love for you, my love for my son, singing over him is a dim reflection, it is nothing compared to his love for you! 

RICHARD: [READS JOHN 3:16]

RICHARD: John was called The Beloved. He grasped the Father’s love. And he writes about it in John. Throughout the Book of John he writes about the Father’s love. Throughout First John he writes-he says, ‘God is love.’ He says it time and time again. God is love. It’s who He is, it’s His character, it’s His DNA. I can’t paint a picture for you of the Father’s love no matter how good I have been, no matter what stories I could tell you about how much I love my kids and how I show it, it is a dim reflection of His love for you. When we’re transformed by that love it does something.

RICHARD:  [READS 1 JOHN 4:16]

RICHARD: He who fears, he who has anxiety, he who has stress has not been made perfect in the Father’s love because anxiety, worry, fear cannot exist when we absolutely are certain that He has got us in his hands then there is nothing that can touch us. And it leaves our head and hits our spirit we got nothing to fear, we got nothing to worry about because my Daddy is a big Daddy, my Daddy can take on any daddy around-

AUDIENCE REACTS

RICHARD: He can take on any devil. There’s places where God has taken me where if I had known where I was going before I got there I wouldn’t have gone. I was in the Volta region of Ghana, and people in Ghana don’t go to the Volta region of Ghana. I was in a village that worships the serpents. It’s the war God of the country, and many consider it the war God of the continent. I didn’t know that. I didn’t know what brought me to [Afiife ??] I didn’t know it was such a cursed town. You can’t drink the water or you’ll die. And-I didn’t realize that its 95 percent idol worshippers. I can’t tell you all the practices because it would defile you mentally to know some of the things that they’d do. But they were cursing me with death curses. Well I’m thankful that I didn’t know that at the beginning. I’ve got these people in robes and they’re doing stuff and I don’t know what they were doing, I’m just preaching, and the pastors [tell me], ‘Everybody in the village is talking about the crusades,’ and I thought, ‘Yeah, because they’ve got the speakers facing out, like you can’t not talk about it, you know, cause everybody hears what’s going on.’ And he then says], ‘You know, when the guys that are wearing these robes are doing this,’ [as if I haven’t noticed] ‘Well, most people die when they do that-they do a lot of rituals before they do that type of witchcraft, and-people usually die-‘  

AUDIENCE:  [LAUGHS]

RICHARD: Okay-.And he said, ‘Oh, but don’t worry. Everybody in town says your witchcraft is more powerful than their witchcraft.’
