Because of the greater
glory, my guest experienced one of the
most incredible and medically documented
miracles I've ever investigated. That same incredible,
miracle working, greater glory is here now. [Applause] SR: Well, I have just met my
guest, William McDowell. William? WM: Yes, Sid? SR: Do you carry
that presence of God, wherever you
go, all the time? WM: I try to live in a way
that honors Him that way. SR: I mean, wherever I,
when I've been with you all day, the presence
of God is all over you. WM: Mm-hmm. SR: One of my intercessors
said they saw a healing angel right behind you. Let's take you back to where
you were raised in church. But at age 10, your mom
went on a business trip, went to a church, very
different than the type of church that
she had gone to. WM: Yeah. SR: Tell me what
happened to her. WM: She had an encounter
with the Holy Spirit. She was filled with the Spirit
out there in California. She said, "We
have to go back." So, she actually, during
our spring break, and I was a young man. I was only 10 years old.
During spring break took me out to California. And one of the things
we experienced was the healing services, the
first time I had ever seen one of those. It was the first time I
had ever seen anyone, you know, fall
under the power of God. And as a 10-year-old, I
was a little scared of what I was witnessing
at the time. But she kept saying to
me, you know, I was a chronic asthmatic,
and dealt with asthma, and had been
hospitalized for it, and a number of things. She kept saying, "I
believe you're going to be healed, I believe you're
going to be healed." You know, "Please go
up, please go up." And I, of course, me, watching
people fall down on the floor, I'm scared to
death. But I went up. SR: You were an
obedient kid. I would have never gone
up! [Laughs] WM: Oh, scared out of my
mind, but obedient. I was raised well.
But I went up, and was prayed for, and the Lord
healed me of asthma. [Applause] I was also filled with
the Spirit on that same trip. SR: And then, this
hunger was there now, as a 10-year-old. WM: Yeah. SR: But then, a
little later, you get hold, several years later, you
get hold of a book that I read by Tommy Tenney
called "God Chasers." WM: Yes. Yes. SR: What happened
with the hunger level? WM: It increased
exponentially. A pastor friend
gave it to me, and said, "You need
to read this book." And I remember reading the
first couple of chapters. I remember at the time, I
read the first couple of chapters about, obviously
the encounter that led to the writing of
the book itself. And as I read that,
I closed that book, and I said, "God, I'm not
going to leave this room until I encounter You
this way." [Applause] I know, for me, it's
a little overwhelming, I sense His presence.
But for me, I stayed in that room
for three days, without eating, because I wanted
to encounter God. SR: You were desperate. WM: Yeah. Yeah. SR: But then in 2001,
you're so desperate for God's glory. And He
gives you a sign. What was that? WM: Saw that at church. And at this point, talking
about the move of God is my chief passion.
It's, I want to see it. I want to see
it in my life, I want to see it
in my generation. So, I'm talking with, SR: It's not old, because I
see fresh tears coming down, WM: Oh, it's fresh. SR: Your face. WM: It's fresh. So, I'm talking
about the move of God. Really, what I want to see,
in our generation. And as I'm talking
about it, I felt this strangest sensation I've
never felt in my life. I'm a man, clearly, even
I'm crying. SR: It takes a man to cry. WM: Yeah. I felt something like a
baby leap inside of me. I literally felt something
move inside of my belly. And it was the
weirdest thing ever, because I never felt
anything like that. And the person I was
talking to said; these are these exact words, "Dude, did you feel that?" And so, me, being a
little weirded out, I said, "Feel what?" He said, "Did your
baby just leap?" [Applause] WM: And, ah, yeah. SR: But about 15 years later, you felt this same,
exact birthing. WM: Fifteen years later. Yeah. So now, we've
planted our church, Deeper Fellowship
Church, in Orlando, Florida. And God's, you
know, He moves there. We experience His presence. But there was a particular
Sunday where I just, there was just this, the
best way I can describe it is unease. I just knew that God
wanted to do more, right before I was getting
ready to get up to speak, again.
And for the first time, 15 years later,
I feel that thing leap inside of me
again, that baby. And so, I try to get up
and explain to our people what just happened to me. And of course, I
know it sounds weird, but I, just like
now, I start weeping. And I could barely
talk beyond my tears. And my best friend, Caleb,
who happens to be our associate
preaching pastor, he shouted out, because
he knew the story before. He said, "It's happening!" And at that moment, I mean, I just began to weep. And at that moment, what
happened in our church, this was on May 22nd, 2016,
has totally changed everything about
the way we live, about the way
that we talk, about the way
that we walk. This was really the
beginning of an outpouring. People begin to literally
run to the front of our church, fall on
their face and weep. And we stayed
there for hours, weeping before the Lord.
[Music] And I remember my thought,
as a person who's hungry for God, I was thinking,
this is awesome. This is amazing. My thought as a
pastor at the time was, none of the visitors are
ever going to come back! [Applause] WM: Because this literally,
Sid, this is what I was thinking, really, I was
really thinking this, and this was a true thought. I said, "Okay, try to explain, how does a visitor
explain what happened?" So, I went, and
they did worship. And the pastor,
who is a man, got up and said
he felt a baby. And then he started
crying. [Laughs] But you know
what happened? I almost embarrassed,
glad that it was happening, but almost embarrassed
thinking about the unbeliever in the room. After hours, people are
still laid on the floor, but I did a soft dismissal,
just, you can go home if you feel so led. And the Holy Spirit
convicted me in that moment, because I remember it would
have been hard to explain the
outpouring in Acts two, except for the fact that
Peter got up and began to give prophetic
context to it. And immediately, three
thousand people moved from confusion to conversion
[Applause] because they basically said,
"I want in on that. Whatever that is
that's going on, I want in on that." So, I literally, I stood
up and I gave prophetic context to what
was happening. And I said, "If you're
still here after all of these hours and you
don't know the Lord, it's because you
want what's happening." And people literally
began to run to give their life to the Lord.
[Applause] WM: Yeah. What we've
seen as a result of this has been absolutely phenomenal. Hundreds and hundreds
of people being healed without there ever being
a healing service in our church, because
of His presence. When the Healer is present,
healing is available. [Applause] SR: I want you
to posture yourself for His presence. Are you ready to hear one
of the most incredible and medically documented
miracles I've ever investigated? Be right back.
[Applause] >> The supernatural
knows no bounds. >> [Music] We now return
to "It's Supernatural." SR: It all happened,
this amazing miracle, with a phone
call from Jason. WM: Yeah. On July 4th, I got a call
from my friend, Jason. He's really close, and a friend, I call him a brother. But he said, "I need
you to pray for my wife. I'm taking her
to the hospital. She really is experiencing
quite a bit of discomfort." They have 10 children.
[Sid laughs.] WM: Yeah, they're blessed. SR: All right, how many
children do you have? WM: I have five children. SR: Are you going for 10? WM: No! SR: I'm just saying,
[Laughs] WM: We're going to grow the
church one way or another! [Applause] He made this statement, he asked her, "What's
your pain level," and she said, "It's at a 10." He said, "Any woman who's
given birth to that many children and tells you
she's at a 10 level, get her to the hospital." And so, they go
to the hospital, and they believed
that at the time, she had spinal meningitis. So, they wanted to
transfer her to another hospital to better take
care of her and the baby that was inside of her. But as they were
transferring her, getting ready to put
her in the ambulance, one of the nurses
came to Jason and said, "Hey, can I walk
you to your car? I need to share
something with you," risking their job, really. But they said, "I know
that they think that your wife, they told they think
it's spinal meningitis. But what they're actually
looking for is an amoeba." An amoeba is a
microorganism that enters the body and
eats the brain. It's a very, SR: Eats the brain? WM: Eats the brain. It is a very
serious sickness, it's a very rare sickness. In fact, the news just
reported just recently, there's only been 145
cases of this particular amoeba in the history
of the United States, with only four people
who have lived. And so, they took her
to the other hospital. By the time
they get there, they have her in the
neuro-critical unit. He calls me
again, and he says, "We need to pray
that it's not this." And of course, around
midnight I get another call that she does
have an amoeba. They begin to ask;
how did she get it? She had gone to
a lake swimming. So, they said, "Was
anyone with you?" She said, "Well,
six of my children." So, they said, "Well,
how are the children?" Called home, all six
of the children were exhibiting the
same symptoms. And so, they rushed all
of them to the hospital. So now what
they are saying, they're expecting,
the life expectancy, obviously 97 percent of
the people who have ever gotten it pass away, and
they pass away anywhere between 24 hours
to five days. So, they were expecting
that all of them were going to pass away. They're now
saying, you know, CDC's involved, they're
talking about the news outlets are going to be
coming down to interview Jason, talk
about, you know, how this man lost his
whole family to an amoeba. What they wanted to do
was, they wanted to, they told her that we need to
deliver the baby that's in you, do an emergency C-section,
because the baby won't survive the amoeba, nor
would the baby survive the medicine that we need
to give you tomorrow, which they were going
to give her a powerful antibiotic that they
were hoping would work, they said it had a 3
percent chance of working. What they wanted to do
with her and also to the kids was, drill a hole
in their head, SR: Oh! WM: Place them in a
medically induced coma, try to lower their body
temperature in the hopes that they could
fight off this amoeba. But in between the time
that we received that news and the time that they
scheduled to do that, our church went into
a significant time of prayer. And I took the night watch. I stayed up all night. There was no way that
I could let that pass. And I remember
saying to the Lord, now, Jason is also a
great man of faith, so he was praying as
well for his own wife. And I remember
saying to the Lord, we had seen so many
miracles at that point. And I said, "God, if
You've given me the gift of healing at all,
please use it now." Because it was one of
those moments where what the enemy wanted to do
was roll seven caskets in our church and say, "After
all of these miracles, look what I did." But the Lord intervened. And 24 hours later,
without any medicine being administered, all seven
of them were healed. [Applause] SR: I know you said,
how few get healed. But within 24 hours? What did the doctor
say about that? WM: This is very,
very important, because I just saw this
on a major news outlet, just recently, where they
talked about the only four known people have
been healed of this. But there are more people,
in the history of the United States, there are
more people healed of this in our church
in one family, than in the combined
history of the United States of America!
[Applause] The doctors, the nurses
are absolutely amazed. Anytime the children go
back now, the whole hospital knew about it,
because this was about to be a national news story. So, they all look at
that family and say, "I remember that. I remember you." And here's the amazing thing, there was a lot of specialists, a lot of nurses, a lot of
doctors. How they were told that
they were cleared of the amoeba is, Jessica woke up. Jessica is the mom,
the wife who had it. She woke up, and sitting
on her bed was a nurse that had not been a part
of the process at all, a doctor that had not been
a part of the process at all. She opened up her eyes,
and the nurse looked at her and said, "Did
you hear the news?" And she said, "What news?" And she said, "No amoeba." And then from
that point forward, they never saw
that person again. [Applause] SR: Yeah. Well, hallelujah! I'm so glad
that he's normal. I wish the whole
world was normal! You want to see an example
of what's happening now? [Music] WM: In the last two
years, I've seen so many significant miracles,
that I can't even count them anymore. There's somewhere between
300 and 400 significant miracles that I've
seen happen with these two eyes. There's a lady in this room,
her name is Miss Pam. Where are you? Now, when you see
her walk up here, that might not mean
anything to you until I tell you that she
used to be paralyzed. [Applause] We are talking about the
evidence of the greatness of God! She's had a stroke
that paralyzed her. But today? [Applause] Somebody give our
great God, great praise! I'm here to announce
to the world, this one here [Music] He's still moving,
(He's still moving), He's still proving (He's still
proving), Just how great He is, (how great), How great
He is, He's still moving, (He's still moving), He's
still proving, (He's still proving), Just how great He
is, How great He is ♪ WM: So, Father, right now,

William McDowell's [Applause] SR: Now, one of the things
that I appreciate is something you said
to me. You say, "Sid, people don't come to
my church for miracles. People come to my
church because of the presence of God." WM: We've adopted a
mentality that He's not in our presence, we're in His. And that changes,
[Applause] that changes your disposition
and your posture, because we're not
done until He is. SR: Hey, it reminds me
of a song on your new CDs that we're
making available. WM: Yes, sir. SR: "Stay." WM: Yes, sir. SR: Tell me
about that song. WM: This song is so
deeply personal to me and to our church. I feel like it's our story wrapped
into a song. SR: Did you write it? WM: I did. And so, for us, we've,
it's a disposition that we have to say, we're
asking Him to stay. And so really, the song
encapsulates both what we've experience by
sitting in His presence, and then the cry if our
heart is that we don't ever want it to end, we
just want Him to stay. SR: Now let's go to
the worship service, and the very moment
that "Stay" was recorded. [Music] I'm testifying. I know what it's like, To
be in the presence of the Lord, And I know what
time is, Because time stood still, And bodies
were healed, Families would still, And bodies
were healed, Families would start, Because we stay here
In the presence of the Lord, And no one had to
say a word, Couldn't even make a sound, But I
give up everything, For this treasure I found,
I never want it to end, Please stay, I don't want
You to go, Because my heart Please stay, I don't want
You to go, Because my heart is burning in Your
presence Lord, And I want more, I
want more, I want more And I want more, I
want more, I want more (more) Jesus, I want
