Sid: My guest Eddie James is red hot for the Messiah. Now I have to ask you this question Eddie “Your assistant told us that you spend,” because we do a lot of vetting of guests most people don’t realize it but we do. “You spend up to 8 hours a day with the Lord.” Why do you do that?
Eddie: Well, ultimately because I love Him I just love the Word, I love prayer, I love talking of His goodness, and I really mean that when I say that. I am fascinated with the person of Jesus Christ with the presence of the Holy Spirit. It’s really some people you know do this because they want to be anointed for ministry or be ready to reach out to people. Which I believe in all of that but I just love, I just…It sounds so cliché but if you fall in love with the person of Jesus you fall in love with His presence there is no other place. That Psalm 27 for reality that says one thing “That I desire that which I will seek after that I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life to behold His beauty inquire in His temple” is truly real in my soul, that’s real to me. That I can speak of His word, I can dig into His word all day and find that could be my fun. You know I used to spend some time at IHOP and Misty Edwards she would spend 18 hours with God and Mike Bickel asked her “Why do you do that go watch a movie, go do something else.” She said “This is indulgence. If I have to choose between going to have fun over there and being on my keyboard worshipping God I’d rather do that.” And that’s the core value of my soul; there isn’t a Facebook, or Twitter, or a movie that would fascinate me more than any level…
Sid: Yeah Eddie your just normal; unfortunately we want the whole world to be normal they’re not. But I have to ask you this question you have bumped into angels that put out fires, tell me about that.
Eddie: Okay now this is crazy; about two or three months ago it was September we were headed from Charleston, Maine to Pennsylvania to do some ministry with the young people that I minister with. The back of our bus caught on fire. So it’s in the middle of the night about 1:00 in the morning we’re in the middle of nowhere and we calmly bring everybody off the bus. I have no fire extinguisher obviously aboard and I didn’t know what to do we just filled the bus up what are we going to do? So as we’re praying about this saying “Lord make away.” This guy just drives up out of nowhere just drives up and just drives up in this diesel looking thing just pulls over to side; get’s out, goes to the bus and puts out the fire and get’s in his truck and continues on. Now what freaks me out about this is he didn’t say “Hi” he didn’t say “You guys okay, I’ve come to help I saw a fire over here; it was all I could do.” He didn’t say “Are you all good?” He just get’s out of his vehicle, goes and puts it out and gets back into his vehicle. As while he was doing that everybody that’s with me had this strange but powerful peace just descending over our hearts; get’s back into our hearts get’s into that truck and drives off. Everybody said “That was an angel there was no way that that could have happened; that was nothing but God that came and took care of that,” and that was wild.
Sid: Okay I want everyone listening to us right now if you are in a position for your miracle we’re going to play some Eddie James music in a second and when we finish I want you to let out the greatest shout you have every been capable of and the walls of Jericho they came down when the Jewish people shouted. The prison in your life whatever it is it could be sickness, it could be poverty it could be children and drugs, it could be homosexuality, whatever that is that you want a breakthrough on when you shout watch what God can do for you. Eddie tell me very, very briefly about the song “Ruach.”
Eddie: Ruach is based on Joshua the 6th where when they let up that shout, it was really a shout of victory over the enemy that when I looked up the word shout it had the word there as a connected to the word shout, meaning the shout of victory over the enemy. And you find that same idea when David slays Goliath and the armies of God that had been hiding. Comes out from hiding and begins to shout a victory shout over the Philistine army. And as you were just setting that song up I got this vision of an elderly lady grandson whose 18 years old, she’s believing for his salvation and deliverance from drugs. And I just saw her shouting and her grandson walks into house bows his knee to Jesus Christ. I just feel like I need to release that. At first I was little shout with that but God said I believe the elderly grandmother going to see her 18 year old grandson come to know Jesus as she by faith begins to lift up her shout.
Sid: Eddie and I will shout with you and it’s going to be so many miracles “Ruah.”
Eddie: “Ruach”
