Sid Roth | It’s Supernatural Television Shows

Well, first of all, let’s look at a sinner. This person gets under conviction for sin, and he has the leading of the Holy Spirit to receive Jesus as Messiah. That is a god encounter. When a person experiences what Sid Roth talk about in this new Bible, God talk being filled with the Holy Spirit. This is face to face with God because it improves and increases your intimacy with the Father and Jesus. When Sid Roth talk about divine healing, like Stephen Brooks literally takes scriptures in this Bible for categories of disease. It says if you apply these scriptures, you can be healed. Sandra Kennedy takes scriptures here.

To go on answering your question. A lot of times when we talk about face to face with God, we talk about dramatic dreams, visions, experiences with angels, seeing Jesus face to face. But when I talk about face to face with God, I’m talking about a father or a mother praying for their child, and all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit quickens them or makes them to become aware that something is going on with that child. God gives them a revelation. They go on a search and discovery and find that that’s true. Or maybe a person has two job options and they think about one job option and they’re disturbed. They think about the other and have a peace. This is face to face with God, according to Sid Roth

Our Guest Dr. Venner Alston

SID: Years ago I used to do a seminar, and in the seminar I would say God answers prayers three ways. It’s either yes, no or wait. It sounded good. Is it true, Venner?

VENNER: I do believe that God answers yes, no and not yet, and we have to know which is God’s answer. So sometimes it’s not yet and that’s where I began to talk in the book about the difference between wait and delay. So God always responds to prayer, but we just have to know what that answer is.

SID: What’s the difference between wait and delay?

VENNER: The difference between wait and delay is the yes that God has for you, there are other people connected to that yes. There are other people that God is aligning. There’s circumstances that God is aligning. Sometimes God is building patience in you. He’s developing the fruit of the spirit of patience on the inside of you and you have to know–

SID: Is that what’s been going on with all of us?

VENNER: Sometimes we’re just learning how to wait, but that comes to an end. There is a moment in time where the process of God is done. And so from that moment after God’s timing of wait and you’re not seeing the manifestation of what God said, that’s called delay and delay is illegal. Anytime you are experiencing delay, it is always illegal. Wait is God’s time and it’s legal and it happens in all of our lives because he’s a good, good Father and he’s developing us, but delay is what the enemy brings against us so that we will walk away discouraged, believing that God did not answer.

SID: I want you to pray to break the spirit of delay.

VENNER: I speak over you right now. I know by the spirit of God that there is a group of leaders that you have been pressing in. It feels like a group of pastors and something has happened in your city and your church hasn’t grown, your ministry hasn’t grown. And there’s a businessman, something horrific just happened to your business in the last seven days and you said, “I can’t wait another day for this to turn around.” I speak over you now and I say, “Businessman, this is not your first time, your first cycle of delay. You’ve been caught in this like a revolving door.” I speak over that now and I command the spirit of delay to loose your business and let you go. I speak over ministries. I speak over ministries that you’ve been waiting and you’ve been waiting. You would get 3 people in the front door and 10 would walk out the back door. I speak over that spirit of delay in your growth and I command now and I activate a supernatural cycle of evangelism and growth and manifestation in your ministry right now. I command the powers of delay to break in the name of Jesus, as a woman of God, as an apostolic voice to the body of Christ, you must obey me and I command you to break now in the name of Jesus.

SID: All right, that prayer just begs a question. Tell me about the demonic carpenters.

VENNER: Demonic carpenters is a construction of evil that what they do it’s like a demonic blacksmith and they construct circumstances in your life that are designed to keep you in like a maze because that’s what I see in the spirit realm. I see like a maze and I see men and women of God trying to navigate through all of this and never being able to exit on the other side to manifestation. Demonic carpenters construct these circumstances in our lives that are really designed to thwart us in the plan and the operation of God. And literally what happens is when you’re there, it’s like you’re in a holding pattern. A holding pattern. You’re not going forward, you’re not going backward, but you are not seeing the manifestation of what God has said to you and you don’t know how to break through. Well, God has given you tools. God has given you everything that you need to fight, to war and to win. You just need to know how to use your weapons. Next level teaches you how to use your weapons.

SID: What do you mean by the term retribution?

VENNER: Retribution is different than restoration. Over the years, I’ve heard this term in the body of Christ over and over and over and over. It’s time for restoration. It’s time for restoration. Well, when I looked up the word restoration, it simply means I get back what was taken from me. And I said, “Well, now, the Bible says that if you catch the thief, the thief has to repay up to seven fold.” So in the way that I understand these two terms, there’s a difference between restoration and retribution. Retribution is part of restoration and it is not fully manifested until you not only receive what was taken from you, but you receive interest on your loss.

SID: You’ve got so much wonderful teaching, but most people that are watching us don’t know about how complex this evil network has been set up. This web has been set up to prevent us from getting what God wants. Explain that, that demonic structure.

VENNER: You can see this operating, demonic principalities operate from that place of the second heavens. And so you can see what’s operating from region to region. You can go into some region and maybe what happens there is a lot of gambling, maybe a lot of those kinds of things. Or you going into other regions and there’s something else that’s operating there. And so what we find is that a part of the foundation of a ministry is healthy families. So, if the families are dysfunctional, if they’re divided one from another, then that in turn impacts the ministry that they’re connected to and everybody that they’re connected to. So God’s order and God’s heart is restoration of families.

And so if you look at Daniel 9, I love this passage of scripture, Daniel recognizes that a 70-year season has come to an end and he says, “You know, 70 years is ended. It’s time for that… That’s done. Something else is to start.” He begins to fast and pray. The Bible says he didn’t put on his usual garment. He began to fast. He began to pray. He didn’t eat, his diet changed, and he began to press in and seek the face of the Lord.

Well, when the angel shows up, he says to Daniel, “Don’t be afraid.” Because, see, when the angel comes in the room, there’s a manifestation. He’s shaken. He falls on his face. And the angel sets him up on his knees and says, “Daniel, don’t be afraid because from the day that you began to pray, from the day that you set your heart to seek the Lord, that God responded and I came because of your words. But on my way, there was a war in the second heaven. Michael had to come and engage and break through so that I could bring you this response now.”

Sometimes in our prayer, in our waiting, there’s warfare in the heavens and we have to know how to use the tools of fasting, prayer, worship, declaring the word of the Lord and having a resolve in our heart that I am not backing away until I see everything that God has promised me.

SID: I believe you. I believe you. You have to share this very briefly, comment on the finishing anointing.

VENNER: God has anointed us to finish. Paul said at the end of his life, he said, “I have fought a good fight. I have kept the faith. I have finished my course.” Jesus said it when he was on the cross, he said, “It is finished.” So there is an anointing upon us not just to start and not just to maintain the status quo, there’s an anointing on us to finish and not finish poorly. There is an anointing on us to finish, to finish well and to finish strong. And I believe when we learn how to use the weapons of our warfare accurately we then are not just engaged, we’re moving toward a finish. See, God had something in mind when he created Sid Roth. He said, “I need a television program that focuses on the supernatural, that will not veer to the left or to the right. That will begin to press in and believe me for the impossible so I’m going to create a Sid Roth.”

SID: You know what? You are wonderfully and fearfully made. There’s never been another you on the face of this earth. Be right back.
