Sid: The devil has been trying so hard to separate Jews and Christians, but devil it’s too late because there is a move of God’s Spirit that is removing the spiritual scales from the eyes of Jewish people. What Paul describes the glorious church because it is so explosive with the Spirit of God and the glory of God. I mean when you walk into a gather of believers and when people hear me say church they think building. No it doesn’t matter. This is God’s house; no no no God’s house is we’re believers gathered together. God’s house is in the believers not in the building. When these believers come together; when that glorious church is restored. When the Jewish olive tree comes back in that tree is going to get so healthy that people will walk into the gathering of believers whether it’s in your house or it’s in the cathedral it doesn’t matter. The Spirit of God, the glory of God will be just so leased that everyone will be healed; they’ll repent to sins. And then we’ll have what the Bible says and not the best we can do until we have what the Bible says. I want what the Bible says; nothing more, nothing less. Jesus said, “You will do the same works that I’ve done and even greater.” I have a man on the telephone I’m talking to him at his home at Alexandria, Louisiana. His name is Dr. David Remedious; David is a Vascular Surgeon but very different than most surgeons. He’s one that hears God’s voice. He’s one that operates in the gift of visions where he literally will be speaking to someone and have an open vision of how to solve their problem through surgery or perhaps another method. On yesterday’s broadcast David you were talking about one of your patients, Dee Sap and will you continue.
David: That is correct we were in the emergency room and of course we decide; she has a surgery abdomen wound and we have to take her to surgery. Her husband and I; her husband is a minister and myself we just prayed and we just asked God to just intervene and for God to send His angels literally ministering spirits. That’s exactly what I said “Lord send Your angels and ministering spirits into that operating room.” Of course I pray that all the time before (chuckling) but little did I know that was what was about to occur at that point in time. And so I took her into the operating room and when I opened up her abdomen I was very surprised her gallbladder was gangrenous; this tumor in the transverse colon had totally obstructed her bowel, and the sekum was about to explode; so it was a very tenuous situation. So at that point obviously what I would do because we’re dealing with infection. This is just principals of surgery; these are just things that we’ve got to do. This is very serious by the way; so I don’t want to make light of any of this. This is extremely serious this is human life on the balance so to me obviously because of my professional training; because of the oath that I’ve taken and there’s a great sense of sobriety over my, if I even tell this story. But I began to operate and obviously I would just take out the gallbladder and I would take out the colon; I’d take out the right part of the colon the right hemicolectomy obviously ileostomy and a colostomy and obviously as a surgical principal you’re not supposed to put the bowel back together because we had infection in the area.
Sid: Now did you prepare her ahead of time that that’s what you’ll do?
David: There was no way of repairing the bowel because she was totally obstructed. So that’s just the way….
Sid: Did you mention to her that she might need… or you
David: Oh yeah about a colostomy yes.
Sid: That’s a very radical thing it’ll be a total change of her life.
David: Yes, correct and so as I’m doing that it was so clear that the Lord, the Spirit. First of all there was a very… for one of the dramatic times in my career and I’m not in church and all of sudden the presence of God invades the operating suite. So I’m very intensely operating I’m concentrating on what I’m doing. And all of a sudden this wonderful incredible awesome presence just shows up in that operating room. I’m going “This is awesome I recognize the presence of God” and I look around and look at the people and obviously my assistant is handing me the instruments and circling nurse is doing her thing and everything is going normal.
Sid: I have seen you in person when the power of God comes on you and you start shaking. Oi vey if you’re a surgeon that’s shaking. (Laughing)
David: (Laughing) Well, it’s amazing when the anointing comes on me when I’m operating my movements like at a church setting it’s become very very precise. The concentration become extremely intense and so it’s sort of like; I don’t know it’s such preciseness that comes. There’s an incredible tangible anointing and obviously losing control would not be of help in an operating room. So God knows exactly how to direct our movements. So I become very focused so I looked around me and it was so clear to me that the voice that I saw myself putting that colon and putting it back, sewing it back together. And closing the skin; see I was supposed to have left the skin open. And that’s just a normal basic thing that one would do as a surgeon. And so I’m sitting there and I’m just thinking this and why would I be thinking this and why would I be thinking that. I’m supposed to leave an ileostomy and colostomy and so for the second time it was so strong that so strong impression I’m trying to think logically. “Well, that’s not right.” I can’t be doing this and after the second time I just said out loud “I need another opinion.” So I asked a colleague of mine to come in. A very wonderful surgeon came in and he looked. And I said “What would you do so so?” And he said “Well I would be ileostomy and a colostomy and I would leave the skin open.” And I said “Well, that’s what I was planning on doing too.”
Sid: That’s the standard procedure
David: Well of course, of course and by the way I’m not in any way making light of this because this is such serious and somber. You understand this is very very serious and forget about license and forget about a title this is not even about this; this about a human being and their life. And so I want everyone this is not just “Well, I just saw a vision and I just did it.” Oh, no to me I was faced really with a most incredible, awesome sense of responsibility. This is the way I am trained I’m trained to save lives and that’s my passion. But this was one of those moments when both seemed to come in apparent contradiction to each other. What do you do at that point? What do you do? Well, before me was a decision of “Well, if I obey what I’m feeling in my heart obviously I’m putting this person’s life in jeopardy and that’s you know no physician out there wants to do that. And I’m not about to and I wouldn’t do that either because that’s very very serious and so.
Sid: And so if there were 100 vascular surgeons how many would approach this the way you approached it?
David: What I ended up doing no I don’t think none of them.
Sid: Okay, go ahead.
David: And that’s why literally God was asking me taking me out of my totally out of comfort zone and asking me to trust Him totally with what He was doing. And obviously I was thinking; this is not an easy decision. I had a group of people around me and after that surgeon walked out of the room the third time He said just go ahead and do it. So I said “Lord I do trust You and I do know Your voice.” And He did not come out for me to hear the voice of the Lord at that point but He had begun when I was a youngster in New York City. So I learned to trust Him and you know I want the people listening to me to understand that this is not; this is very serious and I did it and…
Sid: But wait a second David with what is going to happen of planet earth we need to hear His voice to save our lives based on. Look when that tsunami hit if you could have heard God you would have run up to a high mountain with enough time.
David: Right that is correct and that same voice that protected my life numerous times when I was younger now was there to save someone else’s life. But at the same time everything that I had worked for all these years with so much sacrifice was also being put on the line. So does that make sense; it was sort of like it was a very very… I was stepping back and I said “Okay, I know what He’s done I’m going to obey and I’m going to trust Him.”
Sid: I have to ask you a quick question this was a couple that was suing you over land; did it occur to you if you missed it the land suit would be nothing compared to what would have happened? Oh, absolutely and that’s what made it even more dramatic to me because I went “Lord, are you serious?” There was all these thoughts going through my mind but knew where my heart and I did it I closed. I put the bowel together, I closed the skin.
Sid: David, hold that thought we’ll pick up here on tomorrow’s broadcast.
