Our Guest Larry Sparks

LARRY: Well, I got to ask you though, because in the show we’ve been talking about what God has done in the past. We’ve been talking about how God opened up the door for radio and TV, or now we’re talking about where are things going? And one of the indicators of where God is taking you is METV. How in the world did you get this major on air television network, correct me if I’m wrong, with a potential viewership of half a billion people? That’s amazing.

SID: I take no credit. I can’t tell you that. That’s a good title for a book. I take no credit. I actually am smart too. Do you know, you take credit for what God does, you are history. But I wouldn’t want to. God’s too good. I get a phone call one day from a friend of mine, he’s a prophet. You know him, Keith Ellis. And he said, “Sid, I just had a dream. I saw you pulling up a for sale sign, holding it, and the sign had four letters on it. I don’t know what it means. Maybe it’ll mean something to you. It says METV.” I said, “I know what that is.” And he hung up and I hung up. I immediately called the owners of Middle East Television that covers every home in Israel, the entire Middle East, parts of Africa, parts of Asia. Half a billion people. And I knew I’d have no amount of money to buy it. I didn’t even think it was for sale. They just put it up for sale. And they said, “If you’d like to bid on it, we have several people bidding on it.” I’m thinking, “I have no chance at all.”

SID: So I put in a ridiculous bid. I mean, ridiculously low, and they accepted, and the rest is history. God knew. And now we broadcast to every home that turns to our station on any platform they have in Israel. If they’re cable, if they’re satellite, anything throughout the entire Middle East. There is no limit to what God wants to do. If you say hineni, that’s a Hebrew word. It means … Abraham said it. Hineni. Here am I, God. Here am I.

LARRY: It’s amazing. We’ll Sid, you’re about, in September, to turn 80. And I think of Moses. Moses when he had his burning bush encounter with God was 80. And I think of so many of our prophet friends right now who are talking about a new era is upon us. Not just a new day, not just a new season. I even see you, Sid, with METV, and now into the days ahead, you’re stepping into a new era. What do you see is on the future? What do you believe God is doing in the days ahead?

SID: I believe that God is turning up his presence. His [kavod]. His glory of God. And as he turns this up, we will begin to see things that no generation has ever seen. We will begin to see what Jesus said. He said, “You will do the same works I have done, and even greater.” God knew he could trust me when I was a brand new believer, praying all this that we’re talking about into … If you had told me, I would be the owner of a television network, a major television network covering every home in Israel and the Middle East. I’d say you were meshuga. You know what that means?

LARRY: Crazy?

SID: You got it. Crazy.

LARRY: Wow. Well, and the reality is where we’re going, where you’re going, we have never been there before. And I would encourage you, it’s time to expect the new. And Sid will pray for your own experiential knowledge with God and release the global glory. That same greater glory that is on him. Sid is going to release that on you in our bonus segment.
