SID: So Ryan, one night you’re minding your own business. You go to sleep and you end up in heaven. What happened?
RYAN: It was awesome. Again, whether, like Paul said, in the body, out of the body, everybody says it, because nobody really knows. And in the middle of the night I found myself up in heaven. Now, when I begin to tell this story, I feel it now, I feel the presence of the Lord just flow out of me. I feel the rivers, man. I feel … whoo, and let me tell you, there’s nothing like that in the sphere of heaven, Sid. and when I was-
SID: By the way, I don’t know about you at home or in the studio audience, but it is flowing like a river.
RYAN: I’m serious. The first thing that happened to me when I was in heaven is, the Lord gave me a good length of time. Because he had to talk to me about something, but he gave me a length of time to enjoy the atmosphere of heaven. And again, like being in revival, because I was in that atmosphere in heaven, you get spoiled, because that’s all you want, is what is in heaven. And it’s hard to explain, but it was so electric and so full of joy and love and life at the same time, it’s the glory. When the glory is on me sometimes, I feel that, that atmosphere of heaven, so I know that the glory is the atmosphere of heaven. And I feel that glory in meetings.
I turned a corner in this huge house in heaven, and I met Jesus. And Jesus said to me “I want to show you something.” And so we walked together, and he was on my right, and we looked to the left at this massive room. And there was a huge pile of jewels, crowns, rubies, necklaces, all jewels, all beautiful. And we looked at that together. It was about eight feet high, about eight feet wide. And then our eyes turned together. We looked at another one, same thing. And then another one, same thing. And then we looked over here, and I noticed that there was a smaller pile, about a quarter of the size of the rest of it.
He told me “That’s your love reward right there, compared to these.” He goes “I want you to work on your love reward.”.
SID: I bet you were surprised.
RYAN: I was, I was really surprised. Not hurt, because when Jesus corrects you, he doesn’t bring hurt, he disciplines out of love. And when Jesus showed me that, I remember thinking “I’m going to do whatever I can when this is done to go back and love.”.
SID: One of the things you do that I do admire is you have a friend that’s a police officer, and you ride with him many times. Tell me about the time that there was this young man that was having a fight with his mother.
RYAN: Such a sad story. He was a teenager and not saved. And the police officer went to his car, and I just began to minister to him. And Sid, I have nothing in common with him in the natural. Nothing, except for that we both didn’t have a father. And I said “Holy Spirit, show me something about this man.” And we began to talk, and he said this statement to me, “I’ve never had a good day in my life.” A teenager saying that, “I never had a good day in my life.” And so the Lord told me that the calling on his life is for the creative arts and music. And so I told him about his destiny, and he began to change right before my eyes, because hope was coming in. And anybody can do this. When you carry the presence, you can do this. So I began to talk to him about Jesus and the love that Jesus has for him. And the police officer walked back in, who loves the Lord, walked back in. As I was praying the prayer over him to be saved, we both literally witnessed his eyes go from dark to light and he became born again just like that. Everything changed.
And then I found out later, the police officer told me, when his mom came home, because that’s why we were there, because of a big fight. They hugged each other and just … Just one life can change so many others because we’re carriers of the presence of God. And you don’t have to be a minister. You don’t have to be a pastor, a preacher, apostle. Anybody can do this. I have a friend who for years struggled with her identity because everybody said she had to be in the ministry, she had to be in the ministry, she had to be in the ministry. So we prayed for her and prophesied over Janet. She goes to our church, and she finally realized “You know what? I’m just going to do what God called me to do.” So she became a nurse. And the testimonies that we hear of her bringing the presence of God to emergency room are incredible. In fact, she’s the second person to ever touch a newborn as it comes out of the womb, and she’s doing this, [speaking tongues].
SID: That’s my kind of nurse.
RYAN: Here you go, Momma.
SID: I’m glad she didn’t go into ministry.
RYAN: I’m glad, she’s in the ministry.
SID: Ryan, the presence of God is sky high. I want you to release that to the people that are watching in the studio and at home. Now I want to get in on it.
RYAN: Yeah, I do too too, trust me.
SID: Right now it’s strong.
RYAN: So just lift up your hands wherever you are, if you can, everybody watching, everybody in the studio audience. And Father, I’m asking you for a personal favor, that that atmosphere that I felt in heaven, that glory, there it is. Whew. That glory just comes on everybody watching right now. Whatever you’re going through, it’s just for a moment, the Bible says. Do not lose heart. Now invite the presence of God. Invite the glory. Everybody in the studio audience, just receive that presence. I know you are. At home, you are healed right now because the presence of the Lord is there. You are set free.
I see somebody with drug addiction right now. You’re being set free. You’re being set free of that drug addiction. I see it. I see it. Just lift up your hands and write this ministry, and you tell them that “Jesus set me free of my drug addiction.” Lord, I pray, whatever they’re going through, that you fill them with your glory. Fill them right now with the atmosphere of heaven in Jesus’ name, Jesus’ name.
I see somebody with a plate in their head and it’s causing you, your self-esteem has sunk real low because you don’t articulate things correctly. And the Lord is healing you right now. He’s healing you right now in Jesus’ name. I see a woman. You’re away from God right now, and Jesus is touching you right now. You have a renewed hope. That’s what it is. I see a renewed hope, and Jesus is touching you, and you’re going to be on fire, and you’re going to do everything that God has called you to do, in Jesus’ name.
SID: And I don’t have anything more to say but amen. So be it.
