Doug Batchelor interviews Roger Morneau - A Trip Into The Supernatural

[Music] well I like to ask you to join me now in welcoming brother Roger J Morneau probably one of the most popular writers in our church to our platform Roger now we're going to start by explaining why we're having this interview in a sitting format and my job I think I ought to tell you right from the beginning so that you don't interpret that I'm being rude I am here to both interview and interrupt and the reason for that is roger has written five books now you have one wife three children twelve grandchildren and your ministry as a writer really began when you were 57 years of age right you didn't have any idea at that point that the Lord was going to begin a national international prayer ministry right and you're working on your sixth book right now and your seventh again we've got another one in your mind and that you're working in for you at the same time but there have been a number of rumors that have circulated when you first told me this I thought you were kidding and then someone called the central church and they said we heard brother Morneau's going to be there but you haven't heard he's dead and so we want to begin by dispelling that rumor but that I think maybe has grown from the truth that you have had some challenges with your health and that's why we are going to do this interview sitting down and if your health and strength permits you'll be able to visit the people tell us where are you at now when you're in your physical state well and outside of my heart situation I'm in perfect health I do not have an ache or a pain in my body and for those of you that have read my last book on prayer when you need incredible answers to prayers in Chapter one I talk about my being afflicted with pain my left hip my right shoulder was freezing on me the right heel of my foot I could not stand on and I had lower back pains real bad and beside I had eternal problems my doctor told me says well man I asked him is it hey what do you think of the old guy he says well I think what I thought of your heart just says you have a lot of other problems and but he says don't don't worry I have friends here surgeons they do beautiful jobs he'll fix your hip he'll fix you inside and just show you up man and you'd be like new and I went home that day I didn't like the idea so at night I was I was about 3 o'clock in the morning that's four years ago and my left hip was he hurting terrible and I talked to the Lord because it seemed that the Spirit of God impressed me deeply that the time had arrived in my life where I could ask the Lord for a very special help and I talked to our Heavenly Father and called him that I love this prayer ministry to exalt Christ as a mighty Redeemer that he is and the lives of people are being blessed and benefited by the Spirit of God where is it father I am to the point now but I have a hard time keeping my mind on what I'm talking about when I'm praying for people here in so much pain cuz of the pain and I say father would you honor me in a very special way by the power of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus that Paul talks about it in Romans 8:2 that that same great power raised of Lazarus from the dead be imparted to me through your Holy Spirit and to recreate my whole being to what I was about when I was fifty years ago now I see where the Lord let me take something about about faith and asking for the Lord's blessings don't ever ask only for a half favor go all the way because he is he is mighty God and he's able to do anything says it father I like you to do reconstruct me rebuild me for the Spirit of God the rest upon Tennessee Romans 8:11 says if the spirit the heard of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal body bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you mm-hmm so I took that literally and it's a father I'm so thrilled that you are willing to do this for me and I expected within three days I won't have an ache in my body now Ellen White says and Christ object lessons that God longs he longs have us recapture him by faith he longs to have us expect great things from him so I said father I want some with really great miracles here and do you know this was four years ago and in three days I had no more pain nowhere in my body but let me explain about my heart I said father about the heart please don't touch it please don't touch the heart don't don't make me all better because father I won't have a prayer ministry I won't have one I'll be flying all over creation telling people how nice it was to have had a prayer ministry if you have a frame and if it takes time you know you get to pray and with a bad heart yeah I get to rest a lot so I prayed a lot and I have you know me right now I have over 25,000 names on my prairies or I haven't seen my prayer tower you said that's right it looks like a World Trade Center and if I have like a seven-foot tower and that is full from top to bottom there's over 1,700 letters in there and then another thought was about half filled and it be Lord it did for me what I see so outside of the problem with your heart and your heart your doctor said last exam is working at about 40 percent well the doctor looked at me and he said how you doing my cardiologist said funny they're supposed to be something wrong with me no he says you know he said he should be the part of your heart that's dead and all that he says I'm concerned about it greatly you know see in 1984 December 1 1984 which is just 14 years ago I landed in the hospital in Niagara Falls Canada when hilda and I drove our mother from central New York where we were living tonight were Falls where she resided that I should reside at a time and on Sabbath morning ten o'clock I was taken into the emergency room in the hospital and the doctors said to my wife if he would have been 20 minutes later getting here he would have been dead husband so they find out no time at all they especially Sunday morning that the virus had damaged my heart in right at that time the doctor told me later there was the blood samples that he were tignous 8 o'clock in the morning was loaded with heart tissue which meant that the heart has started to deteriorate when I asked him on Tuesday that was your for Sabbath morning Tuesday I said to the doctor what is the possibility am I getting out of this place alive and you looked at me said you really want to know I said yes that's important it will help me know how to pray correctly mm-hmm and he looked at me and said you're a praying man happy for a lot of people I'll pray for you from now on you thinking carry me like you are you know and he was a little taken with that and he said well I'll tell you you'll take a miracle no he said you take more than a miracle to get you out of here alive it'll take many miracles I said thank you God and that was it now for those who have written my book your very first book on prayer incredible answers and travel nurses to prayer I have to start in here my experience indeed mr. care unit or the great in the hospital yeah let's go back to your conversion a little bit now your French Canadian by birth oh yes and during the World War two you were in the Navy you know now just coming out of the Navy some things happen well you got drawn into not passive but outright demonic association worship and the spiritualistic movement tell us a little about that so folks know where you've come from coming out of Merchant Navy I discovered there was thousands of enlisted

like you told me that the cameras okay that's right yeah you guys know that hold it for a little while and then we cut it down that's good okay well I'm trying I'm trying to do I want to be recognized people to see them dead yeah no I can see that you see my bushes here these guys not that you know so you a number of fascinating things happen that these seance yes and but finally you actually got to the place where one point you things were flying around the room and you were having demons and spirits were speaking to the group and making promises and I'm going to do very short look at the story here we go to one of these stances when Saturday night sorryi Saturday evening and that was a guest source it whatever you gonna call him medium that was speaking there and my friend says hey by the way there's big great man the bandleader famous band leaders gonna be there with his wife said we know one yeah I like need him not as the this man was belonged to a high caesarean society of spirit worshipers and what happened that the spirit had this spirit counselor that is one of Satan's our top angels had told the high priest of the society just about a year before that the great master wanted to bring two individuals in there a society that would be a tremendous asset to the group in Montreal and had given our names but the precept forgetting all about that and what happened is is that at this gorge he's a leader he was told by the by the angel you go with your wife to this seeing us you look like you're really enjoying yourself but you're there for one purpose to bring these guys into society and here's how are you gonna do it when your wife is engrossed with talking would be visiting medium mm-hmm and you see that these fellows wanna leave we tell your wife that you're going on to rest but she thinks I'm horrible dangerous but she lived right just a few houses away and the angel told him walk out at the same time with the two finalists and ask them if they're driving or taking the streets are so we walked out of there you know and George says hey listen you guys driving no she was with a mystery car two blocks away I jump in the car he had a nice big Lincoln anyone jumping Acharya says I'll Drive you there and only way they mean why don't you go to a fancy restaurant my son Catherine Street and we'll have a little some good food and I had a couple drinks and you telling me more about you which may be experiences see so okay wait after we're sitting there he says how long have you guys been involved in sorcery I said what yeah I don't have you guys been involved in sorcery so you know this the spirits the super-special did then they're not the spirits of the dead the demon spirits and they're deceiving everybody and there are the lowest ranking of any those on telling us a little bit more and invites us to their meetings for the following way know for the Wednesday evening and the following evening but you know by the time we left there you are so late that I said to myself this guy will never pick us up you know to Gorillaz this meeting but sure enough Wednesday evening give us a ring you know - well my friend lived about two blocks away from where I live but he picked us up right over there and introduce us to the this diversity secret society and I was very amazed because of the fact that they were all professionals mm-hmm merchants people of business people of great capacities wealthy people and there was number of medical doctors and attorneys now at this point you realize this society there were not just mediums doing seance as you knew that this was the underworld they had beautiful paintings life-size of angels that have appeared Satan's angels a dress in different garment of different ages and the ad materialized firstly had materialized on those forms then they were photographed and anyways the paintings at home and when I visited the worship promote the gods I was amazed to see there was over a hundred of those beautiful paintings all around the worship of the gods and they were all Satan's top-notch spirit counselors so they had these life-size paintings of demons that had once appeared right when they made paintings out of whoever saw me is my friend and I we couldn't believe it that you're having been born and raised a Catholic and you think of the devil you know being in the middle of the earth the fire you know covered with soot you know what though you know you look terrible yeah and then you find out this is it you know the great conflict has started in the courts of heaven and the demons are beautiful and that the angels sins there are beautiful beings bright beautiful beings he the high priest old made that where he was in Chicago visiting there there an angel appeared to him and he says the the brightness was so great that he could look upon Ponty being but chose his eyes and the spirit counselor the angel told him that the fellow that he had left in charge the other priests montreal was about to wreck everything that this the spirits had done to bring my friend and i to the society in that he ought to fall immediately and get this guy to change his mind he had not when George wanted and phoned him insisted that he would like to bring us he said no way he said if the high priest wants to have him have them here he's gonna have to be here herself and that'll be in the future now I remember reading that the spirits were offering different gifts and powers and at one point you received the power to get dreams about what horse to bet on oh yeah and you won the bookies finally told you to stop coming yeah because you won several days in a row is that right they told me that they were going to put a bullet in me so when I heard that I should the guy I won't come back here but every race that you bet on you one for so here's what happened the high priest told us my friend and I that the great master would very much like to have us initiated into society on the 31st of October I dare resort in the Laurentian Mountains northern montreal norrison again and that you know he wasn't even asked what the great master wanted us to do as a career but that it was going to be a tremendous important work that the two of us were gonna do well my friend says what do you want it to be to be initiated anytime but I said to the priest you know at a time here I didn't know very much I said my reverence you know I call the guy Trevor I understand how the great master he want us to benefit it now but somehow I don't feel that I want to be initiated this time what about maybe like in the spring of the year some minute he said well I'll tell you what I don't know it says you don't don't want to buck the good master the high master because the great master because it says it's very bad so the great master who is see okay just want to clarify that the great master is Satan the deciphering is a great master or Lucifer or Lucifer oh we don't call him Jesse diver if your friends but very few mm-hmm hey he said look I'm gonna do something for you guys especially for You Roger I'm gonna trade it didn't read master daddy he give you a gift what time till I can give three or four or five and choosing whatever you choose as well will be yours and I said well gonna be mighty nice if I had the gift of excetera Young's where I could see you know I feel her voice at the bookcase you know you play the horses how the book is you see all the name of the horses and enter the tracks Belmont or whatever the array of running you see and and to know which was gonna be a winner I said that big really could me with some nice money he said would probably work with the stock market to then yeah we probably would fit anything you know but he said he said that's yours you got and sure enough just a little bit later I had a dream and I dreamed that I went that I went to the bookie and on a Saturday morning and I saw the calendar date and everything and I saw the all the or sis running at three different races and the winner was the one that that Sean he was shiny shiny mm-hmm and that was one there he was twenty one to one this guy this horse was so bad and you know the phosphate thereof of wedding was so poor that he was paying twenty one to one it's not a word if you put a dollar down yet if it you get 21 he wins well that was a shining one I said boy then I said they said one in a you know quits I said to myself well you know in those days money was boys it was like you know scarce scarce so I said well I want to put two daughters on this guy you know some put two dollars on it and then he wins never did was first then I put I put $20 on the 21 to one horse and that one and then I got rid of everybody everybody said I can't believe it's some guy where no I think there is nothing there based on the counter you know because they they said this horse is totally worthless you shouldn't have been in this race and then he wins you know these guys I said boy so you know what happened when I came back that the following week oh yes I went out I left out of there with a bundle of money in my pocket I went down to the same cat in the street I went to one of the fine men's store and I bought myself a 200 dollar suit that's a lot of money back then those days in 1946 the bundling so anyway I can't pay the next week and the man of the cage says you're Roger I said yes as I was putting some money down he said the boss would really like see the bookie bus yeah I bought dinner already operation and

it's not necessary sir I won't come back so in the beginning he knew you had inside information he just didn't know how inside of welfare so the pressure mounted the pressure mounted to be needed and this wasn't October and I came home the only Wednesday evening and after the Hyper's had put a lot of pressure on me you know I went to bed but I couldn't sleep after a talk in the morning I'm silly a lame bed there and now this was a prayer mighty beautiful prayer very short and every starting governor's over spring but here listen to this I said if there's a God in heaven who cares for Phillip who cares for me help me I don't know how long I last stayed awake after that but the next thing I knew my alarm clock rang and I got up went to work something now something beautiful happened I am working in the embroidery factory you know was working my machine and they the three o'clock coffee break came in the afternoon I went down outside due to have my small and one of the bosses to see they were Jewish they're gone one of the boxes sitting hey Roger yeah when you come up coming to my office I want to talk to you okay try came back you'd be up and he said come on in close the door I said it myself with no words going on he never throws his door and missus wants to hire somebody you know had heard observe observe a fancy I said the world wars the problem where there's no problem punishes I where he says he you could call it problem probably you know you see you notice this guy that was here this morning that I could run shop I said yeah I said the black guy yeah well you want

world the earth and bless us the seven day know that he keeps it like a Jew is doing that you got a dog she was do so I said so what I want you to find out where they nomination he belongs to it's haunting me this thing since I would catch a hardly I could hardly sleep last night that I had find out where the nominee from this guy who belongs to but he said I'm not gonna start doing this kind of work he says you're my friend give me a favor find out from him sure no problem then he said I have him work on the machine next to you this is in the embroidery fire directory he said you're gonna have a lot of chances to talk to the guy but don't let him know that I'm the one that was to know what the nominees me belongs to okay don't worry so the good long story short my machine was breaking threads and I had to back it up and start over again and I got very very unhappy with the whole thing and I started to call the saints I was a Catholic then when I was a foreman cat like you know it's kind of the same side down from heaven and so the coffee break came at 10 o'clock went downstairs and I was telling me Cheryl I said have you ever seen anything that is taking place the boss comes over at just as the machine need avoid for 15-20 minutes thinking he's worked beautiful I get back to the machine the trade start breaking right away what it is said yeah any suggestions as well I'll tell you what says if I were you I would take it easy on the Lord I could hear you talking to the Saints I'm there the awhile ago but he said and he said I heard it him at the Lord and I thought he seemed that you asked my opinion I like can you take it easy on the Lord maybe things will go better there's my opening I should say mean I understand you quite a religious man what denomination you belong to you said him a seventh at Madison seven dead it's a 70 what 7 advantage then he explained what the name meant you know wow this is interested in interesting and I see some other questions and then for something go back upstairs I said to him I said look did you bring your lunch he says yeah what about us sitting on the on the loading dock and back the plays there and have all runs together and you tell me more about your religious convictions about his business of the Lord coming in you know resurrecting people and we creating the earth later on not of that and you know going to be just as pitted flying on a cloud in heaven if you're saving to God's kingdom now you really talk about it so we had a good hour of talking and in the afternoon about to applaud the spirit started to impress me it was in the month of October the windows are open about maybe four or five inches in the plane it was called cool and I was starting to perspire so I took my shirt and unbutton it and roll my sleeves and I was still the spare tire perspiring more I went to the men's room once I love how I logged at all I was being grabbed and choked and the pressure is so great that I stood over the over the toilet and the water was just pulling down it and I said to myself unless severals god help me the switch they gonna do me in and instantly just so you knew that you had demonic powers that were trying to choke you right then and we so had to me about know it was a final clock I told him us is what sweetheart you take what do you take the streetcar he says well I've taken about two blocks down here I said I want to walk with you listen hey if I went over to your house could you show me in the Bible you know the things that you were telling me today about your religious convictions oh yeah is that be like you said you don't think you said what about next weekend huh no no I said I mean this evening this evening oh it's not a good evening since I have a guide and supposed to come and buy my jazz records and he says you know I've already promised him put him off two or three times I said what I'm sorry but I surely would have liked dude just didn't divide with you he said what about tomorrow night and the night after I'd be too late my friend too late for ever too late and he said okay we heard that be at our home at seven o'clock and we'll be waiting for you now I get to his place and introduce because wife and then he says well I got to explain something to you Edison he said you know I'm not a something that matters actually I thought it was a certain event is because it's just beginning to ask me and I said it was listing for me to do I did have a lot of time to explain I'm not a bad past members of an Adventist Church I probably will do that eyes for too long because I'm just about making my decision and we got to the Sabbath but it is my wife Lisa renovators and he says she will give us you know she's not like the Bible studies the night after so here we do it yeah and she explained he had his little Bible says 28 Bible studies for busy people and on one sheet we should represent one study was about maybe 18 20 questions and then you look up the answer in the Bible so I said that's fine so we had a first Bible study the Word of God and then it's a tebah and I said to Cynthia and she's smiling I'll get it thank you remember is that if it was yesterday instead 51 years ago by I said Cynthia what's the next Bible study entitled oh it that's Daniel - I said yeah what is it about she told me a little bit I said let's have this Bible study right now no they said you know why not come back we didn't mean next weekend haha no I said tonight right now so several said okay let's edit so now it's 9 o'clock I said what a fantastic study how interesting I said wasn't it the third study guide was titled and she she looked at several and she said it is such-and-such I said fantastic let's have the study also I said what time you people go to bed or they said we would have been about 11 o'clock but I figured he said if there's a evening use beautiful I said we have time for another study I said let me explain you better pray real problem here he said you know our minister has been giving us lecture on how to give Bible studies effectively and he tells us that we should never give people more than to Bible studies per week and they should be like one maybe like on Monday or Tuesday Wednesday and you're the one like on Sunday nor sad there's minaret and he said you know we've already had I mean we have not three and you said before the Passover photo I said yeah I'm so glad you told me that Sarah about your minister I'll tell you what I promise I won't tell him anything I won't tell him that when I meet him that we had three or four Bible studies the first night that's forbidden we know that that's right you said your synagogue - go ahead Cindy God so send - you're hired another Bible study now it was 10 o'clock I said was it the fourth one he says I won't tell you the name the title I said well I think what I said I thought you people were really nice loving Christian that wanted to help a poor lost soul you know and here you are refusing to give me another Bible study I said hey I said hey I just think you can't you know figure this out he said what'd happen if we didn't study tonight I said to say what maybe be honest with you okay I cannot tell you the reason why I want all these Bible studies but if I am back here tomorrow night for the fifth Bible study it will have been a super miracle of God that I'm alive mm-hmm sir said you make it sound like a matter of life and death that's exactly what it is and I'll tell you later if things turn out good for me I was assure as I was sure that the sun's gonna rise tomorrow that the special won't do me in at night the high priests had told us about a couple of accidents that happened some of their members that I decided that well no no this is really not for me one guy you know he he thought I preached I think I'm gonna ask you to excuse me from this fellowship he says it's not for me the guy says wait a minute don't you back off on the great master because he'll cost you your life and you said haha that'll be the day he went away in the day he left that day from work and the spec counselor the angel appear to the high priests and said the man is going to die in a car accident is down the road and it's going to be decapitated and that's exactly what I have enjoyed so and you know I knew very well that the spirits were already well aware of what I was doing and I was not going to be around very long you knew that or at least you believed that if you went ahead and tried to leave this satanic society that you were done in for life yeah so that night I said goodbye didn't expect to see them again but the next morning I woke up you know and I was expecting some kind of an accident in the way home but I woke up the next morning man life hey you know she's beautiful my life and I had of course getting them to commit themselves to more Bible studies for Tuesday you see at least once that was the next day yesterday so the next day will help us there we had four more now I was sure that I was not going to see them on Wednesday I shook hands where Dennis as well if I'm still alive I'll be here tomorrow night for Bible study number four it be nine she we had twenty eight by us that is more than week seven days sir so what happened here I'm getting ideas for a new evangelistic series I really what happened here is that by Tuesday night I was so sure that I would not live any longer that I figured well it was nice to learn the truths truth about the Creator because the high priests always talk when you see they don't have food to God has gone they always referred to God is a creator always is the creator the great God is Lucifer the great master so don't give glory to God for anything he said that he's the creator and I said well that's it now Wednesday when I came back for those Bible studies I was so thrilled in my soul I didn't know how to pray but that was in my being an elation of such happiness toward the God who had is he that I didn't know his name but I knew that either God had cared as I said it has a garden haven't rest for me help me so we had two more Bible studies and those Bible studies did for me marvels by the time that the two other Bible studies were finished we had four more by the way two more after that but now I knew within myself that I had a great master also and that he was way better than the great master that I had been serving for a while amen and also I became very daring ID I determined right there and then that with the grace of the Lord Jesus and the power of God and His Holy Spirit I didn't have to worry about the high priest and about the bullets and about the capitation to accidents now let me interrupt you how long ago was this fifty one years ago and you did twenty-seven Bible studies in one week well you know you've already heard brother Morneau allude to it but the couple that gave him those Bible studies is here with us tonight would it be all right if we asked them to stand there H yeah is it Cecil and Cynthia would you please stand up and show the Bible studies [Applause] come up on that step on either side come up come up a little closer I mean you know snap Cecil is holding up this is the set of Bible studies that he gave Roger yeah 20 what's over fifty years ago yeah it's very 51 and isn't that incredible boy you needed a magnifying glass for these that's right then he was very fine I can no longer read them you can't read them anymore the too small oh praise the Lord that's I think remarkable how the Lord has preserved them and I'm sure that this couple really did not expect that those Bible studies they were giving we're going to resolve in a ministry that would be in essence touching the lives of hundreds of thousands of people yeah and so when you give a Bible study to one person never underestimate what the long-term influence of that is going to be isn't that wonderful so and I did this is about all I'm going to say about it but it's part of it on Wednesday night hey I'm when I got home I had a letter in my note on my dog my friend on Thursday night and Friday night also because he I was we were finishing our studies at 11 o'clock and took me an hour to get home and on the streetcar which meant I could only profit off he had been around tried to talk to me but he couldn't get a hold of me you know where I was and but on Saturday night he told me he said the high priest does inform me that the spirits are going to destroy you and there's a big price already been setting on your on your head see I need to talk to you please call me and I decided there was a there was a pay phone in the hallway downstairs in the foyer but I decided I better go to a restaurant on the street so I can talk privately and I called him up and he told me says I gotta talk to you man said your life is worth nothing he says you're not gonna live he says if you don't come back to the great master is tomorrow this mini lights chains and he came to visited me and he tried to convince me in in two hours time that I should come back to the society I said no no I'd be a loser mm-hmm what do you mean in you loser he says you be wealthy you'd be famous and you'd be doing a tremendous work that could benefit mankind I said I know exactly how saving benefits means on it and beside that I said I got a new master and he's super wealthy and beside that not only does he promise me gold and silver and abundance after the resurrection of his resurrection but he promises me a hundred million years of living plus and he's told me that this is going to be just the beginning of the good life so my friend look at me he said you're either crazy or you're telling an awesome truth and I said I'm not crazy but I'm telling you an awesome truth now I'll tell you why I cannot go and see your great master I'm the high priest mm-hmm because high priests have promised that he would make everything right wood wood wood with a great master and I'll tell you also the reason why I'm not afraid of bullets or threats of any type let me show you something I walked over to a table where my Bible I had read for my devotions that morning the experience of Sakai oh and Senator Kerry you know the great Syrian King a general may come up you know to Jerusalem and ride he and as a car brought the letter before the Lord told him exactly what he intended to do and the Lord says we'll take care of them and you know I think's 280,000 men would kill that instance or a hundred needed other yeah about 180,000 people died in their sleep you knew that the same way that Sennacherib was threatening Jerusalem and the life of Hezekiah and Hezekiah took the problem to the Lord and he protected Jerusalem and destroyed the enemy God would do that for you that's right and the Lord still does that today and now you've got a prayer ministry around the world one of the questions that comes in and we're going to dedicate the second half of our program in a little bit to questions that you are sending in but a very common question is your your prayer life seems so powerful and effective and folks are wondering what do you have that's different than the average person I was talking to Karen last night and I said I think after a person has seen the power of the devil it's so easy to believe in the reality of God and you know that it's real and I'm on in the same way you cannot be a real Christian without to some extent believing in the existence of the devil and there's a spiritual battle that's raging and you're aware of that so when you pray you know there's someone listening and faith is one of the most important elements you know I was in terrible needs of the blessing of God in my life because I knew that you know I had powerful enemies that were after me to destroy me so my relationship with Christ every day when I first opened my eyes was to raise him a mind to the Holy of Holies of the heavenly sanctuary and take four or five minutes and tell the Lord Jesus how happy I was that I'm alive and I've been doing this for 51 years and my relationship that Christ has grown because of the fact that he blessed my life in so many little ways and that's what amazed me most see we know that God can be great miracles but for God to make a lot of little miracles right alone to keep your life and to enable YouTube to keep the biblical side of creation now I'm gonna bring you back to one of those great miracles you touched on when you're in the ICU the intensive care unit with your heart problem you prayed for everybody on that floor and one man in particular had an unusual answer to prayer mr. Smith why don't you tell us about that answer to prayer real quick okay I was brought in there like I said before Sabbath morning 10 o'clock I was very very low after they had all you know wired me up they whatever needed to be done and then they told me don't know how I've could see me only to ten minutes every two hours I said that helps me a lot you know so great deal so anyway that Sunday evening I was still alive and I saw the ad that was 14 class ten units rooms with people in there was filled right up and because of great emergencies there was three beds right next to the nurse's station and I was one of those and I could hear what was going on between the nurses talking and the head nurse says I think I'm gonna have to call for more help the people were getting into crisis situations and an elderly man about 80 years of old next to me and our dad to have two nurses to keep just even from choking up and dying the nurses said to the young nurse you know you see we've got to do it that's what we're here for you know and then did a young nurse well you know she she they had to try to keep him breathing so cut a long story short but I listened I see all of these people here and all of a sudden the thought entered my mind that in 1946 the high priest had said that Satan and his angels love to see people die the see humans die especially in times of war and when they have great battles and a lot of people die they have a celebration of earth and those words came back to my mind like if it were yesterday and I said to myself as a lot of people who are not going to make it tonight and I raised my mind to the Lord because when I talk act I was just a little bit above a whisper you know how wasn't that low and strengthened as a matter fact he turned my head on my pillow I had to make a concentrated effort just to be able to look at the monitor that was going 228 times I made it between 228 and I started to pray I said Lord Jesus you know society said thank you these people here this night of the enemy and you know we're all gonna go to a grave sooner or later but I believe there's a lot of people who are not gonna make it here tonight and I'm afraid that they're not prepared to raise in the first resurrection and because of the fact that you've already paid the sacrifice for their salvation and that they're sacred their medicine your sacred divine blood is available to be repeated to them and in by in my asking for a special help see that's what's beautiful about being intercessor in this land at the enemy the plan the super plan between that well the rules of engagement of the warfare are such I get it to understand from what the spiritus priest had said it from what I read in the Bible and raised of Ellen White that God depends on us tremendously to ask for help for others inside of ourselves because when we do this then the Spirit of God and His angels can move into Satan's domain and legally take care of a lot bad situations but if we don't as for this help for ourselves or for others Satan and his angels says hey you have no business being here get back there right you're ours you know and as I was praying that the Lord would make these people better and get him out of here if it was not gonna be you know what in a few days you can come out of this hospital and give them a second chance you know to be able to to draw an eye to them mm-hm and I said lord I don't read these people's name but I'll tell you what I'm gonna pray that you will every day I'm gonna pray that their sins inequities be forgiven them and that you would appropriate to them the medicine your sacred blood shed on Calvary for their salvation and Lord I promise I'm going to be doing this for a long time and I said you get it you give them a chance even and things blew up wild it went wild it went terrible more people were having distresses and perplexes in difficulties and then the nurse cut over the loudspeakers as I need more nurses come and help and all of a sudden a man in unit 9 boniva mrs. Smith his heart stopped and when the heart stops anything takes place out of the nurse's station there is a buzzer or a light that can yeah I don't know ever weight loss but anyway the nurse the nurse said to all doctors please come and help and she who gave some kind of a : code blue at least here it isn't yeah so in a way that three doctors came rushing in right into the Dora's head through the day unit nine was right in front the door to him right - there - right in there they had their stator and the other in the unit their nurse had ran to get his the thing he work at this man for about ten minutes and one doctor came out he says he's gone you'll never bring him back and what happened I said to the Lord dear Jesus before I die I would very much appreciate that you would let me see the power of your resurrection at work by causing the heart of mr. Smith to be started up again and Lord that you make it well and that he be able to live a number of years because mrs. Smith is a cries all the time she heard that wasn't that a little the waiting room a mrs. Smith was there also and she had told him she said my wife said that I have a praying husband you know he can't she said fiddy have yer has been grateful for my husband so I said to the lord please let me see the power of your resurrection immediately a shout went out there was three nurses in there that room two doctors and that mrs. Smith told me four days later when I talked to her in her house the cardiac floor that the nurse had just pulled a sheet over her husband's head when he sat up in bed he sat up in bed and women even mrs. mrs. Smit chief if this is her I couldn't help it then just just ah whatever she did you know mm-hm so anyway that he said what say well all you people doing here well the dark mrs. Runyon and you were having any trouble your heart yeah oh he said I have a problem my heart because my heart is good but I needed some food I haven't eaten here in three days mrs. mrs. Smit I told Hilde that has been a decided he wanted to die so he didn't he didn't for three days and not even dragon didn't even train for three days you want to die because he had enough for this business with a heart you know so even if five years after that and I understand he became a Christian after that is that real and from what I gather yeah and their daughter for my gaff my Garret read my book activity supernatural so we still see resurrections don't we oh yeah God does that now what is your a lot of people here may want to know what is your favorite passage in the Bible do you have a favorite wine I'll tell you what I'm gonna have to have a little bit about my personal relationship with Christ okay order to explain this you see after I became a servant matters I was working in the shop and the unions were coming in and they were gonna force some people who work on Saturday because of some special arrangement that they had and I told the boss and you know I'm sorry but I have to quit this job the difficulties are getting too great for for me because you know they had to come to my place and I tried to bust the door down once and I had enough of that and that's before I was married it wasn't good try to get married hilda and I in 47 I decided that I was going to give her the plane which it is and going to sell now lady ginger my dad was a business mate had trucking the transport from New Brunswick to Montreal Quebec and in sales you know made a lot of money but I couldn't sell ice cream in July you know two hours of a Salesman so I said to me when I was growing up it's never in the world well I really and I said that to myself many times like you know once I got this thinking about this now I was looking for jobs in Montreal I said when I give this job up I better go into sales so I told the Lord Lord I need to be able to keep the biblical Sabbath of creation and either of your blessings in sales you lived control things so that down Sabbath I can go to church and thank you for the glorious experience of seeing your Holy Spirit work so that Roger moto can make a living in five days and be able to be in church on sabbath with his wife and the child will avoid the came up to year another year later after that 48 so the Lord started to work in my behalf I wasn't dead what you would call my boss said when she said you know you're a silent salesman because that was a Yellow Pages for about 20 years you know selling telephone directory advertising business because you can't put two people that spend tens of thousands of dollars on radio and TV and newspapers and magazines and billboards and all kinds of other things and when it comes time to list their names in the Yellow Pages all this this is all I need is a ball type everybody knows me you know and you can never sell them display advertising but I talked to the Lord throw into this business and said Lord you are able to create within our hearts of people a desire above anything else I've ever desired in their lives to buy big ads from Roger Moore know so that I can make money pay my tight you know help with some offerings and be able to to be in church on Saturday and everybody left aside and that's what the Lord did for me now how long did you do that how long were you a the last five years I was division Sales Manager for the Continental telephone systems in Northeast United States covering eight states I was in charge of people there but for 15 years I was salesman and you know for instance in Buffalo you took the 31st best salesman they had yellow pages and

Lord Jesus there's no one among those fat guys he's got a lot of money you probably never going to use it all yeah you know and some kid is gonna inherit this thing you know and blow it and you know all right now I need is a little part of it you know they're like 411 dollars a month is it so weird real hard it surprised me I always told alert us know you surprised me again Lord and your Holy Spirit create within the heart of this guy they desire to have that atom or anything else ever desire Kiba macho denied then I tell him I thank him before when he's done before is he and then all of a sudden the guy says look good job I'm gay I'm gonna decide this year I want it because I want it I can't give you a good reason why I want it but I want it he's that good enough for you two brothers walks away says do whatever he wants your money you know so I write a big ad you know where the guy had more information or some listings now I walk out of there with you know I display a and that's the wit of the Lord work from me over the years now you started telling me about your favorite scripture are we still heading there oh that's right yes yes we're in but now you see I have found this out by experience that the holiest we need the blessing of the Holy Spirit in our lives to be able to succeed in anything winter cake right mm-hmm everybody says that the mark prosperity which I complete accompanied everything place in Joseph's care was not the result of a direct miracle but it's in dust great care and energy were crowned with the divine blessing said that's where the success is so I want the divine blessing so I picked my Heavenly Father and I see if the father you know I need to be made wise intelligent harmless is a dog and his voice is servant and in this sealed business otherwise how I won't make it and I need your Holy Spirit to bless me and to make me smart you see enough to sell hey and of course I was directed to the reception of Christ violin white writing the regional writings and I have found by experience that if you acquaint yourself with what Christ has done for us to purchase our Redemption if you acquaint yourself with the mighty love that he had for us and if you acquaint yourself with its power your faith is gonna grow and it's a beautiful thing you know Jesus had gone out on evangelistic tour with his disciples and we told that he raised the dead they did so many things you know he a lot of people but when he came back to Nazareth that people in town says I can't believe that all these miracles that he did he's the son of Joseph and you know and it Mary and his brother and his sisters are really with us you know and the Bible says magic 13:58 he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief now I've studied this matter of unbelief in this matter of faith and I found that in the the Fallen nature of man we have in our nature a capacity to distress God and be very unbelieving that's what is natural for us to do faith is to build confidence our confidence in God how much confidence in God would you like to have well it's all built on the it's all to be founded power chapter of the Bible which I call the 27th chapter of magic and as I acquainted myself with that power chapter again that I saw the Lord worked marvelous miraculous ways and to see my faith increase the Lord could do greater things for me and to bless the lives of others I said this is it see Ellen White says that what is needed that this was at the turn of century she said what God's people need right now is to have a living faith and she explained she said the living faith is faith that will give you an increase of spiritual strength and will sons sustain in you and unfaltering trust in our Heavenly Father and the power of His Holy Spirit so that's the kind of fear of life so I said the Lord I need this kind of faith now I started to acquaint myself with these beautiful words and I would like to quote a few words from make each one you've memorized the twenty seventh chapter of Matthew what verses verses 24 through 54 okay that will take you from from pilot's judgment Hall and bring you to call Gordo where Christ expired on on the cross and you will hear their Centurion and his soldiers pagans say that truly this was the son of God then after I quote the verses if you want to out with you a little bit of Ellen White says that happened there okay okay now the Bible says that when Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing with the Jews but that rather he cobalt was me in other words riot had begun he took water and washed his hands before the multitude saying I am innocent of the blood of this just person see he do it then answered all the people and said his blood be on us and on our children then release Barabbas antonov and when he gets courage Jesus he delivered him to be crucified then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall and gathered unto Him the whole band of soldiers in this script him and put on him a scarlet robe and platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head and it read in his right hand and the about the knee before him and mocked him saying hail King of the Jews and his spin upon him and took their really it's more him on the head and I said that he had mock after they had done that they took their robot from him it put his own ribbon on him and led him away to crucify him and as they came out he found a man of Cyrene Simon buy named him to compel to bear his cross and when they were coming to a place called Gao Goro that is to say a place of is called they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with God and when he had this sedara he would not drink and they crucified him in part of his garments that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet he parted my garments among them and upon my vesture did they cast laws and sitting down the bottom there and her puppy's head was an inscription saying this is Jesus the King of the Jews then were there two t-squares a fight with him one on the right hand and another on the left and did it pass by reviled him wagging their heads and saying that a destroyer is a temple and buildest if in three days save thyself you've doubted me the son of God come down from the cross likewise also the chief priests Mars mock him saying if he is the son of God in general then we will believe now from his sixth hour there was darkness over all the lane to the ninth hour in about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice saying Eli Eli lama sabachthani that is to say my God my God why hast thou forsaken me some of them that stood there when they heard that said this man call it for he lights and straight away one of them rain and took a sponge and fill it with vinegar and put it on the reed and gave him to drink some of the others said let's see if Elias would come to Satan Jesus when he tried to get me the loud voice yielded up the ghost and behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake and the rocks rent and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and I cleared too many now what a Centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus saw the earthquake those things that were done they feared greatly saying truly this was the son of God that's it amen amen he praise the Lord you know that's where the power is that's where the power is it's in the cross and I'll tell you right now you recite that almost every day don't you everything every day she's me sometime I'm pressed for time like any other people I have people that are dying and need help and I got to get on the phone and I got a guy that to you know help encourage her over them so I tell people when I write everybody that I answer a letter to be by later tell them how we're going to prefer a loved one for someone I always mentions when it's been chapter of Matthew is the power chapter and there I tell them if you're pressed for time and you don't see the possibility of reading the entire 30 verses read at least the last ten and to doctors and people that have definite appointments they have to be you know in the operating room at 7 o'clock whatever it is I've had I've had their number of physicians write to me and see Mike my first experience I am sort of satisfied with myself and I can't believe myself really big in a way because of the fact that I sold myself to the benefit of mankind and I have to be there to help but how could I how could I help myself to to have a closer to commune with Christ and I right then if somebody's things I'm telling you here tonight and I have them follow me back and says man what a beautiful thing now they now actually what I tell my readers is this I'm going to give you a formula for successful victorious Christian letting that could not feel and if you do this now you're gonna have to read fair amount of verses every day from the Bible but if you do this for one year I can assure you that you will never be the same the reason being that you will be given an increase of spiritual strength as you do this thing and by the time that 365 days have gone by you have memorized yourself 30 beautiful verses on the life of Christ in our Redemption the crucifixion and you know something I have so many people riding bags three months later six months later or they say thank you thank you thank you okay they didn't Hey they just don't slow down they praise of God and you know and thank me and well I know that the power for revival is in the word the Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word and if the powerful revival is in the word what part of the word would be the most potent it would be the scenes of the cross and if a person could saturate themselves with that every day and I can see even though you have recite this in your private devotions and maybe when you visit with others it still moves you every time you say yes that's because it's not just the words you you know the person that was hanging on that cross before I quote these words before in front of people I have to pray because I used to cry all the time in the middle I used to braid on and cry that be okay but I fear Lord you know it's not going to benefit anybody just you know I cry so would you help me tonight as I quote my favorite verse of the Bible that your Holy Spirit is going to sustain me so that I can break down and cry well you know it's important that it moves you oh yeah if it's going to move up there have been some rumors circulating that you wish that you we already talked about the one about your being dead and we know you're very much alive now but some of the other rumors for instance I understand some people thought you no longer believe that the wicked will be cast into the lake of fire that's maybe you said I did say yeah I got this doctor that coming in 1993 hilda and I had you know the enjoyable experience of having five medical students from Walla Walla the University visit us in our home and these young people had read my books and they had under things and they were full of intense avid great intensity of desire to seek a closer walk with Christ and they taught me back I could help them and now they're all you know they'd all graduated and they're in practices and things and one doctor wrote me about a month ago and he told us how happy was that he admitted that that trip seven-hour tribute from Lamanna does know where I live and he said then he had but he felt sorry about what people are saying about me especially that this has been said that you do not no longer believe in the destruction of the wicked as the Bible says it will take place and you have also said that God will just put the wicked to sleep and that'll be it and if you have said these things would you give me the reasons why do you feel that way and I for an eleven is's it's just people trying to discredit your books it's very very boomers yeah and my my prayer ministry another yeah you know the devil is never more frightened and this is I think a spirit of prophecy quote then when God's people pray and if you're doing a work to encourage people through your ministry and through your books to get people praying that makes the devil tremble and you can expect that he'll circulate the rumors and cause problems to discredit for instance I understand some are saying that now you're perpetrating the philosophy of the New Age movement oh yes yes oh yeah that's a good one I got I got this letter from a lady who told me I am sending you this letter because of the fact that I feel that you should really be made aware of a problem that is taking place in the minds of some people that you are now shifting your emphasis to the New Age ideas and and and she's underlined in red this part of the letter where this lady says what is this now Roger Moore no you know he says that we should pray that God would surround us with a glorious heavenly atmosphere of light and peace and he says and she said I've never heard of anything like that being taught and administered so he's he drifting in on in and she had other points and all that so what is happening is this I had written in my book and I use a lot of spear prophecy writings Helen White says that for instance there's a an article in testimonies volume 8 where the serving the Lord in five pages it's entitled the power promised and she says God does not ask us to do in our own strength of word before us he has made divine provision for all emergencies to which our human resources are unequal he gives the Holy Spirit to help in every Street to strengthen our hope and assurance to eliminate our minds and purify our hearts Christ has made provision that his church shall be a transformed body element with the light of heaven possessing the glory of Emanuel and it is its purpose that every Christian shall be surrounded with a glorious heavenly atmosphere of light and peace so this lady you're just quoting the spirit paint that's right this lady here really had not read my book but somebody had told her about it probably and she said wow this is new ain't no no and she was the world in distress it's very easy for a person to leap upon the one ambiguous phrase and try and make something out of it you know we're just about out of time for this section and I'd like to remind all of our guests that are here tonight that we have we're providing in the second half however the Lord leads opportunity for you to ask questions via writing them on the card it's too hard to get audio microphones to everybody so if you have questions you've written down on those cards that we provided you may have personal prayer requests and brother Morneau's going to take these home and add them to his prayer list and I believe that he could go on all night and tell you the miracles of how God has turned things around in people's lives on his prayer list if you would like to write a question down for a second section and the pass them to the aisles we have Usher's that will bring them up to Mike who's our production assistant he'll bring them out we're going to give brother Morneau a brief break and let him take a deep breath and drink water and maybe we'll have Don come out and we'll sing a song so we could stand up stretch and breathe some of you may have to leave we hope that you're able to stay by because we think the miracles and some of the best reports are yet to come but at this time before we conclude this section if you have any questions write them on your card or a special prayer request for a brother Morneau and I'd like to ask if you could close this section by asking for the Lord's blessing on the people who are here those who are watching and then we can all have a revival in our lives would you please lead us in prayer our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ our great Redeemer we love you so because of the fact that you are our problem solver you have gone the way of Calvary and purchase our Redemption at such a great cost nor do we want to thank you for what you've done for us and we pray for a closer walk with thee a beautiful experience of seeing God's Holy Spirit your representative on do marvelous things to bring glory to the father to son in the Holy Spirit Nord less everyone here present and and he must saw a new beginning so to speak because you are soon to come Lord Jesus and we want to have live for you in mighty curious ways giving you the chance of the opportunity by the fate that you will impart to us to see your spirit to wonderful miracles of divine grace let us we pray to be Laurie the father son of the Holy Spirit and Holy Name Amen
