Sid: We want everyone everywhere to have godly children and godly grandchildren and godly great-grandchildren because were coming into such a separation between light and darkness that our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren they’re not going to stand a chance unless you learn how to pray appropriately.  Now my guest Mike Shreve has been a guest several times on Messianic Vision. Mike is a prophetic evangelist for over 42 years a teacher; he’s written many books, but this one is going to be his most fruitful book ever.  Why do I say this, because I see what’s happening to this generation of young people, I see them not honoring parents, I see them walking away from the faith in droves; I see them getting involved in sorts of sin and this cannot be.  I had a dream in my dream Jesus said “He’s coming back soon” and that’s why the devils operating so furiously on our children and grandchild and that’s why this book “Sixty-five Promises From God for Your Child” just off the press you’ll be able to take a promise from God’s word; you’ll be able to have a revelation of that promises and then a prayer with a place that you insert the name of your children or grandchildren.  You can end up getting one book for each child and each grandchild and even great-grandchild and it won’t take you a lot of time they’re short prayers, but it will change their destiny.  And then the four CD’s your faith level you will not be just begging God to do something you will know it and you will say it and you’re going to have such confidence in your heart.  Now Mike when I interviewed you several years ago you told me something’s about President Obama even before he was President I believe tell me what God showed you about him.

Mike: Well, first of all God showed me that during his presidency there would be an increase of nuclear proliferation.  And the ironic thing about that is that his platform has been quite the opposite or at least that’s what he has…    

Sid: No he wants the US to totally get rid of our large military, have a small military to get rid of all of our armaments and nuclear weapons.  I mean that’s what he stands for and you heard the opposite.

Mike: Well, I heard that during his presidency that there would be an increase of the development of nuclear weapons…

Sid: And by the way we’re saying look at North Korea, look at Iran I mean look at all of the Muslim countries that Russia is supplying this technology to.  We’re definitely I mean  it’s so neat when someone said, and I’m sorry that this came true, but when someone gives a word before the fact and now we’re seeing it happen before our very eyes.

Mike: And it’s going to push the nations of the world on to a final stage of an ominous cloud of destruction and hovering over our planet.  But at the same time I believe God is going to raise up His final generation of believers out of the generation that we’re responsible for our children our sons and our daughters.  And I claim Psalm 112 verses 1 and 2 over my children that says “Blessed is the man who fears the Lord who delights greatly in his commandments his descendants will be mighty on the earth.”  Listen there’s a spiritual battle going on as well as the necessary parts coming into place for that final natural battle called Armageddon.  The world is in the throes of a terrible change right now and this generation of all generations has got to have a spiritual awakening. It will come not only for the adults but through children that are awakened to their spiritual potential. And God said our seed will be mighty upon the earth; I claim that I claim that for every parent that’s listening that’s concerned about their children right now.

Sid: Well, I have to tell you that when I find a prophet that prophesies in their dreams and their words come true I want to know what they see for the future.  Tell me about the dream you had in reference to the civil unrest.

Mike: Well, that was very simple God just woke me up and he spoke two words to me audibly and I heard the words “Civil unrest.” I knew that there would be great upheavals in our society and in our world.  He did not just confine it to the United States of America.

Sid: You know I’ve never seen such division in every arena of life as there is in the United States right now.

Mike:  And I believe it’s going to get far worse especially as the government tries to enforce oppressive rules on the people such as going too far with the limitation of guns.  I don’t believe our populous would stand for that because gun control preceded every major dictator that ever took hold of a society or a nation.  And then the gun control issue is always on the front burner and then following that is a horrible rising of a dictator to power.

Sid: Tell me about the dream you had involving New York City and even Japan.

Mike:  Well, that was a very disturbing dream; it came about a month after that terrible disaster that happened recently in Japan where there was an earthquake, a Tsunami and the nuclear incident.  And about a month later I received this dream where I saw New York City lift up above the ground and become translucent and then it rushed westward and hovered over the nation of Japan and then it came right down into the very area that was hit by that earthquake and merged with that area.  And I saw New York City devastated with the same level of devastation that took place there.  And I will prophecy that that will come to past thus saith the Lord, that will come to past; how far in the future I don’t know.

Sid: But you also saw some good things a spiritual awakening.

Mike:  Ah yes God’s also shown me that our nation will have a spiritual awakening and I would tend to believe that some of these destructive things may in the end work together for good because they’ll trigger that spiritual awakening.  Years ago when I was minded toward becoming a missionary in India the rest of my life, God gave me a dream where I saw the outline of the United States of America and I saw a little red dot in the heart of America explode into two blood red words that like liquid soaked into the whole map of America and there wasn’t one city or town that was untouched.  And those two words, one superimposed on the other, were Jesus Saves. And so I know bad things are happening and our culture looks like it’s descending into a cesspool but I also believe that God’s going to have that last word on this and God is going to bring us around and there will be another third great awakening in our nation.  And part of what will usher that in is prayer-fullness and intercession. And certainly a key aspect of that is interceding over our children.

Sid: The ones that are going to be affected are the ones that have had been totally bathed in prayer. I must say that you have made it so easy I have your brand new book literally just off the press, it’s titled “Sixty-five Promises From God for Your Child”  and the 4 powerful CD’s and you’ve made it so easy.  You’ve done the research of the promises; you then have written a teaching so that someone’s faith can explode with these promises.  And on the tapes you really expound on these things, then you’ve written a prayer that the parent or grandparent or great-grandparent will read out loud and you put a space where you can write that child, or grandchild, or great-grandchild’s name.  And what I picture is any parent, any grandparent, any great-great- grandparent that will get this book and start and just read.  It’s not going to take a lot of time, just say take three promises a day for each member of the children.  I mean right now what the Bible prophesied would happen is happening.  There’s children are being estranged from their parents, they’re going their own way, they’re not following God they’re going into perversion of all kinds.  And they’re not going to have a chance with what’s coming on planet earth unless you do your part and you know something, it’s so easy it would be a tragedy for you not to do this.  Mike how in the world this is so simple yet so brilliant, how did you develop this?

Mike: Well, God just awakened it within me when I was searching through His word to find promises I could pray over my children I began to notice these specific ones that dealt specifically with my offspring.  One I have not mentioned yet is Isaiah 43 verses 5-7 where God said “Fear not for I am with you I will bring your descendants from the east and gather you from the west I will say to the north give them up and to the south do not keep them back.”  And then God said “Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth.”  And what really hit me when I read that verse first God says, “I will bring your descendants out, I’ll call them forth from all points of the globe.”  But then He said “Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth.”  So God’s is saying “Whatever belongs to you belongs to me and if they’re your sons I consider them my sons, and if they’re your daughters I consider them my daughters.”  And then verse 7 he said “Everyone who is called by my Name whom I have created for my glory.”  And I confess that one over my children that they are not created for the world’s glory so that the world can use their talents and their gifts but they are created by God for His glory.  And that he is speaking over their lives.

Sid: Oops we’re out of time.

SID: Oy vey. You have a daughter against impossible odds. You couldn’t even have children. Mike Shreve and his wife have a daughter. She’s pregnant, and the doctor says “It looks to me like she’s going to have spina bifida and cretinism. Maybe you should consider something alternative.” Mike and his wife said “No way.” So, what did you do?

MIKE: As we walked out of the doctor’s office, my wife said that the Holy Spirit came upon her and God spoke to her and said we would have a daughter, and that she would be a dancer. She would dance for the Lord. So she held onto that word.

SID: Now that’s the opposite of what the doctor is saying. With spina bifida, she’s not going to be a dancer.

MIKE: Yeah, there’s no way she could’ve been a dancer. In fact, she probably would’ve been in a wheelchair and not been able to walk. So God said “Your daughter will be a dancer.” If that wasn’t enough, when we got to the car, she turned on the radio, and the first song that came on was that beautiful song “I Hope You Dance.” She took that as an absolute confirmation from God. When she went home, she was studying the Word, and just praying over this unborn child.

SID: But what do you do with a doctor’s report like that?

MIKE: Well, it was very disconcerting, but she began to pray Psalm 138:8. That verse says “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.” She laid hands on her stomach every day, and she would do two things. She would say “Child, you concern me, so I believe God is going to make you perfect.” Then she would sing that song over her, “I Hope You Dance.” That was kind of a ritual, not only once, but many times a day. Later on, when Destiny Hope… We named her Destiny Hope as a prophetic way of opposing what had been spoken over her. Instead of being hopeless, you have hope, and you have a destiny.

SID: You did what God says to do. He called things that are not as if they were.

MIKE: Yes, and I believe God gave us those names for her. We prayed very seriously about it.
Then when she was born, the doctor did not know, really, what my wife had been claiming for months. As she came forth from the womb, somewhat anxiously she said “Doctor, how does she look?” His words simply were “She’s perfect.” The very word she claimed over her for months was realized and fulfilled. Sid, we’ve had a battle of intercession over both of our children.

SID: Tell me about your daughter’s dancing.

MIKE: From a natural standpoint, she never would’ve danced had that been true, but then God gave her the miracle.

SID: You were singing that over her, your wife.

MIKE: From the age of 3 onwards, she had this natural proclivity toward dance. In fact, I would buy her these videos of kids singing Christian songs and dancing along with it, and it became her favorite thing to do. For hours, she would stand in front of the TV and mimic their gestures and movements. She could dance so well at an early age that at the age of 5, 6, and 7 she was dancing with Christian dance troops made up mostly of 16, 17, and 18 year olds, and could do just as well if not better than most of them, sometimes. God gave her that gift of dance, and that was a prophetic declaration over her. But you know, there’s a promise. We’re talking about the 65 promises God has given our offspring. Sid, I highlight one in the book that I want to read now
because it ties in so well with my daughter’s miracle.

SID: I’m glad it’s your book. I wouldn’t give you mine.

MIKE: It’s Psalm 139:13-16, where it says…

In other words, the spine was written. All the parts she needed in her body, God wrote it, as well as… God mapped out her destiny, and God was involved in her formation in the womb. I counsel parents, if you’re having a struggle during pregnancy, claim Psalm 139. That’s one of the 65 promises given to believers that your children will be fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderfully made! I believe that’s a promise we should claim boldly. Not just pleading with God, but boldly affirming His word.

SID: You know what I can envision? A mother or father, or grandmother or grandfather, takes this, writes their child or grandchild’s name in each prayer as you instruct. Then in the back, you have a little diary, the family vision statement, and personal confessions, and memorable happenings. Can you picture ten years from today, twenty years from today, giving this to that child?

MIKE: What an awesome gift. I encourage parents to get one for each child they have.

SID: And then, your son, speaking of your daughter dancing when she wasn’t supposed to even be able to walk, your son starts walking, but he’s walking on his toes.

MIKE: That’s right. He was a toe walker until he was about 7 or 8 years old. Constantly. He never walked flat footed. We were very concerned for him. We prayed, but we did not pray our way through to a miracle for all those years. For some reason, we just didn’t get to that level of fighting faith necessary to get a miracle. We took him to a hospital in Atlanta Georgia that’s especially geared toward helping young people of this problem area. The doctor told me what would probably have to be done is to clip the tendons in his heal. He said it’s a very chancy thing. It could grow back better and longer, where it wouldn’t be such a problem for him to walk. Then again, he could be immobilized the rest of his life from it.

SID: What a predicament! What would you do if you had such a predicament? Let’s find out what Mike did. Don’t go away, we’ll be right back after this word.

SID: Sid Roth here with David Tomberlin. David is a young man, he’s got everything in the world going for him, there’s no reason to be depressed, but he’s so depressed he’s suicidal. He goes into a building, a man prays for him. The power of God hits him, he falls on the floor, he begins speaking a language he’s never been instructed. He has no paradigm for what’s going on. He’s wondering why he’s laying there on the floor. What happened next, David?

DAVID: As I laid there on the floor, I began to have this sensation come over me. The best way I can describe it is it was as though there was a little person inside of me cleaning me out. I had all this heaviness inside my heart, and all of a sudden I felt a swirling in my stomach area, and then these three black things popped out of my body.

SID: Did you see it? Did you feel it?

DAVID: I saw it, in the sense of… I would say it’s more in my mind’s eye that I saw it, but I saw them very clearly. They were three black circles, and they came out of my mouth area, and they just went [pop, pop, pop], then floated back. Right after that, I immediately felt clean; I was no longer depressed, I was happy to be alive.

SID: Instantly?

DAVID: Immediately after that third thing left me. I almost threw up at this time as well. I don’t know if you’ve seen some of the horror movies, like the different deliverance movies…

SID: “The Exorcist.”

DAVID: Exorcism movies, yeah. I almost threw up, but I didn’t. They came out of me, and I immediately felt this peace and joy. As I laid there on the ground, I heard a voice speak to me. I felt this absolute peace, and the voice said “This is what heaven’s like.” Absolute fulfillment, absolute joy. To the degree that I was suicidal and depressed was the degree that I was absolutely fulfilled. It was as though I felt every cell in my body had achieved its ultimate purpose. This radiant joy overflowing. I was so happy and elated, the burden was lifted off me, but I had one problem: I was on the ground in church, and I don’t understand what’s going on. So I stand back up. As I stand back up, the youth leader there came up and said “Lift your hands and tell God you want everything He has for you.” I lifted my hands and said “God, I want everything You have for me.” I fell down again. I got up again, I fell down again. I could not stand under that power and presence of God. It was amazing.

SID: David, what was the love like that you experience?

DAVID: The word I would use is saturation. I was saturated in God’s love. I felt like a sponge that had been completely wrung out and then dipped in oil, or water, or honey, and that sponge completely filled up. I felt whole inside.

SID: You got rid of these three – let’s call it what it is – demons. Where do you think they came from?

DAVID: My belief is they came from immoral relationships I was in. Ungodly, premarital activity I was involved in. That’s just the sense that I get. That’s where I believe they came from.

SID: Ok. Something new happens to David. All of a sudden, he knows things about people that he never knew before. Tell me the first time this happened.

DAVID: The first time this happened, I remember it clearly. I was driving to my mechanic’s to get an oil change. I’m driving there, and I’m not thinking about anything, I’m just driving. Suddenly I hear a voice speak to me. I remember it like yesterday, and I’ll tell you word for word. He said “Your mechanic’s wife has something wrong with the back of her neck. You need to pray with your mechanic so that she can be healed.” That specific, word for word, just like that. My thought was “I’m just going to get my oil changed.” I’m not on some kind of…

SID: This isn’t a church service.

DAVID: This isn’t a mission trip, a church service. I’m going to change my oil. And frankly, many of us would be excited about that today, but I was a little nervous. In fact, I was so nervous that when I got there, I went to the restroom hoping that the mechanic would go on a lunch break so I wouldn’t have to deliver this word from God. So anyway, he was still there after I went to the restroom, so I just kind of approached him… How do you approach that? I’m in a mechanic’s shop, belts on the wall, cars are lifted up, and this guy’s like “Hey, what kind of oil do you want in your car.” I go “Listen, this is unusual, but does your wife have something wrong with the back of her neck? He goes “No. Why would you ask? Then he goes “Yes! How did you know that?” He was shocked, I was shocked. He goes “She just told me that this morning.” He had just found out, so he knew there was no way I could know.

SID: I could see how shocked you were. I mean forget him being shocked, you must’ve been shocked.

DAVID: It was hot potato. He was scared, I was scared. But there we were, in the midst of a God encounter.

SID: You know, this is called a word of knowledge. He knows things about people, and then God demonstrates His power. I’d like you to see how this word of knowledge operates. Let’s go to the screen and have this clip of a word of knowledge. Two of them.

DAVID: So it takes faith, every time we step out. It takes faith every time we step out. In fact, right now I keep hearing the letters “R, E, G.” I don’t know if that’s a first name, Reggie, I don’t know if it’s a last name. Is that right? Get up here man. See, I’m telling you! But you know what? I want to just confess to you. Every time I get a word of knowledge, in my heart I go “Oh, I’m not going to give that.” It’s the guy standing in front of me. God’s calling it out to prove a point. You understand that? But I have to have faith. I have to be willing to look dumb. Come on. Come here, Reggie. Father, in Jesus’ name… Man, miracles on you like crazy. Father, in Jesus’ mighty name… Take my hand. Father, I break it right now. I feel like there’s been an attack on your household. I see that family. Father, I bless the family right now. Lord, I just release courage to my brother right now. Do you guys get how ironic that “R, E, G” is standing right in front of “M, E”? Seriously. Do you see what I’m talking about though? It’s faith! You’ve got to step out. Who’s got the neck problem and you’ve got the pain right now? Neck problem. Come here. Father, in Jesus’ mighty name, I command the neck. Pain, go! Out of her neck right now! Begin to move it. Begin to move it, just in faith. Sometimes if we don’t think, just trust… Just trust. Pain, continue to go! Pain, continue to go! In Jesus’ mighty name. Thank You, Lord. More fire, more fire. More anointing. Healing anointing, be released. I’m releasing healing virtue by faith, in Jesus’ mighty name. Tell me what happened? Always tell the truth.

WOMAN: It’s still there.

DAVID: You’re still feeling pain right there? Ok, praise God for that, because this is an opportunity for God to do His thing. Father, in Jesus’ mighty name I break that pain right now in Jesus’ mighty name. Stay there for a second. I want to give you one more dose ma’am. I thank you for your honesty. This legitimizes what we’re doing. Some miracles happen immediately, some happen over time. We see it over and over again. I never get discouraged, because we pray in faith and trust God to do the work. Amen? Are you feeling something happening? What’s going on?

WOMAN: It’s getting better.

DAVID: It’s getting better. We’re going to stand in faith. How many of you want it to be all the way better? (applause)

DAVID: Loose that neck in Jesus’ mighty name. Man, I feel the anointing. Father, I thank You for the work that you’re doing. Neck, be healed. Oh! Be healed in Jesus’ mighty name. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord.

WOMAN: It’s gone!!!

DAVID: It’s gone! Come on!

SID: Most people have heard of God’s laws, spiritual laws for healing, and rightfully so, and spiritual laws for finances. All over the place, you hear this. But where do you hear about God’s spiritual laws for evangelism. Right here, right now, in the Bible. When God the Father wanted to reach the whole world, because God so loved the whole world, Jews and gentiles, He started with what people group? Abraham, the Jews. Am I right? All right. When Jesus wanted to reach the whole world, he started with one people group. He said, “I’ve only come for the lost sheep of the House of Israel,” as a starting point, as a seed. God planted a seed with Abraham. Jesus planted a seed with the Jewish people. How about the apostle to the gentiles, Paul? When Paul wanted to reach the gentiles, because that was his call, this is what he says in Romans 1:16: “I’m not ashamed of the Gospel because the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, to everyone who believes, to the Jew first.” He knew that if he planted that seed it would produce a harvest of gentile souls. This is what I have found. When I operate in the law of evangelism, wherever I go, if I will go to the Jew first it will open up a supernatural door to reach more gentiles than if I went to the gentile first. Makes no sense to the peanut brain, but makes lots of sense to God. Now the greatest revival the world has ever seen we haven’t had yet, because in Amos, Chapter 9, Verse 11 and 13, it’s described, and this is what God says: “In the last days I will raise up the Tabernacle of David”, and in the Hebrew, the word “tabernacle” is family or house of David. Who’s the family of David? The Jewish people. “In the last days I’m going to raise up the Jewish people to be mighty warriors for me, to be mighty evangelists of the Living God.” And then he explains in Amos, the 13^th Verse, “A revival like the world has never seen.” He says, “There will be so much fruit on the vine that by the time it comes to till the ground for the next year’s harvest, you won’t have picked all the fruit from the last year’s harvest.” The world has never seen a revival like this. The world needs a revival like this. When is it going to happen? When the tabernacle, when the family of David is restored to our God. Now even the return of Jesus is contingent on Jewish people coming to the Lord. Jesus said, “For I say to you,” in Matthew 23:39, “For I say to you, you shall see me no more until you say [Hebrew], blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” He’s talking to the Jewish people. I’m not going to return until you recognize me. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen all these scriptures one after another. But then I was speaking just a few days ago at a Bible study and I had a whole group of Liberty University students there. And one raised their hand and had a question. Well I take it back. He didn’t. I’m beginning to see things in the invisible world. I saw him raise a hand. He didn’t want to. So I went to this session here, there’s someone with a hand. And sure enough, he raised his hand and he said, “Sid,” and he quoted the scripture, Acts 18, Verse 6-8, when Paul had it up to here with his Jewish brethren, this is what he said: “But when they opposed him and blasphemed he shook his garments and said to them, ‘Your blood be upon your own heads. I’m clean. From now on I’m going to the gentiles.'” See, even Paul finished with the Jewish people. Wrong. Keep reading. The next verse says he moved into a house. You know where the house was? Next door to the synagogue. And you know what happened? The next thing happens, the president of the synagogue becomes a believer in Jesus. And you know the next thing that happened? Everyone else became a believer in Jesus. Have you ever been like that? I’m not going to do that any more and then you repent. Even the next chapter, that was Acts 18, Acts 19:8 says, and it’s talking about Paul, “He went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the Kingdom of God.” I’m so glad we have the Word of God. Now are Jewish people saved under the Old Covenant? Don’t they have a covenant with God? Of course we do. And the gifts of calling with God are without repentance. However, the Old Covenant is contingent on Leviticus 17, Verse 11, which says, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. For it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.” Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin. Well wait a second. What about just have an animal sacrifice. Well first of all, according to Leviticus, the first chapter, the third verse says the sacrifice has to be in the temple. And if you look lately, there’s no temple in Jerusalem. And Acts 4:12 cinches it. “Nor is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under Heaven given among men in which we must be saved but the name of Jesus.” Well do Jewish people not believe in Jesus? There’s an old Hasidic story about a Talmudic student who goes to his rabbi and says, “O Master, I love you.” The rabbi responds with a question: “Tell me, do you know what hurts me?” The young man is bewildered. He’s taken aback. “Why do you ask me such a confusing question when I just told you that I love you?” The rabbi shakes his head, “Because, my friend, if you do not know what hurts me how can you say you love me.” If you study the history of the Christian church, you will find that we don’t have a good history with Jewish people. There’s been misunderstandings on the Christian side and misunderstandings on the Jewish side. Everyone has heard that the Jewish people are the chosen people. But what are we chosen for? Three things. Isaiah 43:10 says, “You are my witnesses.” By the way, do you know where the word “Jew” comes from? A Hebrew word, which is “Yehuda”, which means “a praiser of God”. The Jewish people are called to be witnesses, praisers of God and super end time evangelists. Zachariah 8:23: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, in those days 10 men from every language of the nations,” that’s the gentles, “shall the grasp the sleeve, the fringes of a Jewish man saying, let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” And you have just been given enough truth to be on the right side of the fence in reference to what God is doing in the last days. And as I said earlier, I say again, if you have it wrong on God’s position on the Jew, someone’s neck has just been healed, someone’s hip has just been healed, someone’s back has just been healed. If you have any of those problems stand up and bend over. Stand up right now. Get your healing and keep it. Stand up right now. Come on. You at home, stand up right now. You’re getting your healing if you stand up and test it. Move your back, move your neck. You’ll see.
