BRENDA: All forces of darkness and evil must cease and desist from any maneuver, any operation being attempted against this household. Our house is protected by the blood of Jesus and a divine hedge surrounds our property and the angels of the Most High stand guard. We live in safety and peace. Our house is a no fly zone to the devil. Hallelujah.

SID: I tell you what, when you decree what God says, God causes it to be on earth as it is in heaven. I want you to decree that you are a child of God, that Jesus lives inside of you, your sins are totally forgiven and that you are making Him Lord of your life and you have intimacy with Him. Repeat out loud right now, out loud with me, dear God…

Audience: Dear God…

SID: I’m a sinner.

Audience: … I’m a sinner.

SID: And I’m so sorry.

Audience: And I’m so sorry.

SID: I believe…

SID: Thank you that I’m your sheep.

Audience: Thank you that I’m your sheep.

SID: I hear your voice.

Audience: I hear your voice.

SID: Amen.

Audience: Amen.

SID: Brenda, pray whatever God is giving you right now.

BRENDA: Yes. And right now, I just feel led to speak this over your life, that you come to a place where you’re not dealing anymore with fear. And I want to stretch my hands towards you as you’re watching that fear is dispelled over your life, that anything that has been trying to make you afraid. And maybe it is family related. Maybe it’s something out in the culture, things that are happening. There is not a lot of good news out there, if you look on the media or if you look on the TV screens, but if you just look at God’s Word, there is good news. And I just want to break that fear over you right now. I look at you and I say, don’t be afraid.

In fact, right now, I want to decree that the angels that are there, that are in your house, come on, they’re in your house, they’re assigned to you, so I just decree that the angels of the Lord are surrounding you right now. Come on, you can sense them. I know you can. That they’re around your home. They’re around your family. And they’re standing watch to ensure that you don’t experience any tragedy or harm.

In fact, mama, quit worrying about how your children are going to turn out, quit worrying and being up at night fretting. God’s up. He’s got them taken care of. He’s in whatever city they’re in. He’s at the school with them. He’s there.

And I prophesy that you are under the charge, your family, the guard of the heavenly host. They are keeping your family secure. No member of your family can be harmed or injured. I put that out in the Spirit right now. And I say, there is a hedge of protection because of the angels, the host. I say, host go and protect every family. And I say that the house, your perimeter, all your property, your possessions, everything you own cannot even be attacked by a thief, an attacker, a burglar, a plunderer. They can’t access your dwelling because the angels are standing there with swords drawn. And my word to you today is, do not fear. All shall be well for you and for your family, in Jesus’ name. Hallelujah.

JAMIE: That’s fascinating! Now when you’re talking about the imagination.

SHAWN: Yes.

SHAWN: Is it for you almost like a wind that you catch in a sail or is it something that you sit in silence for? Or how does it begin when you start receiving a download in your imagination?

JAMIE: Well, first of all, you must clear all thoughts. You must take captive of all thoughts and one thing to do is you must – again it goes back to being silent – silencing your soul so your spirit man can begin to really open up and really be able to articulate the things that it’s trying to say. Cause see we have a lot of traffic up here.

JAMIE: Yeah.

SHAWN: So sometimes we have to make sure that the traffic has died down before we can actually clear the highway.

JAMIE: Totally.

SHAWN: So the Lord can just come in and really talk to us and bring us to the next level of the other side of the bridge where He’s trying to get us.

JAMIE: So you’re in the middle of receiving this download. You’ve silenced your brain.

SHAWN: Yes. [laughing]

JAMIE: You know your mind is under your control.

SHAWN: Correct.

JAMIE: Right.

SHAWN: Correct. Correct.

JAMIE: And so then in that moment you’re yielded to the Holy Spirit.

SHAWN: You’re yielded to the Holy Spirit.

JAMIE: And He starts to speak to you.

SHAWN: Yes. Well, the thing is, again the Bible tells us to take every thought captive anything that tries to exalt itself above the knowledge of God. First of all, we have to know what is the knowledge of God. Once we understand what is His knowledge, what is He saying we can know what other thoughts are not His knowledge.   

JAMIE: Wow! That is KEY!

SHAWN: And that’s the key to us understanding so reading our word will help us know that hey this thought is not of God. This thought is of the flesh. So I can begin to really understand what’s His voice versus what’s my voice. You know again like I said before it’s a still small voice, not a loud racing voice!

JAMIE: Wow!

SHAWN: So that’s how we got to be able to determine that it’s Him versus us! 

JAMIE: See that is – someone asked me that same question last night.

SHAWN: Yes.

JAMIE: They said how do you know whether it’s God speaking to you or just your own thoughts? 

SHAWN: Right. Right.

JAMIE: And I said well – or even the devils! 

SHAWN: Yeah. Yeah.

JAMIE:  You know even the devils. Right?

SHAWN: Yes. Yes. Yes.

JAMIE: I mean when you hear a thought and you know it’s the devil but it’s like disguised.

SHAWN: Right.

JAMIE: How do you discern that?

SHAWN: Well, first of all, this is how I learned. Several times in the scripture God will call someone and He’ll say their name two or three times. Moses, Moses. Abraham, Abraham. The Bible says out of the mouth of two or three witnesses My word is established.

JAMIE: Whoooh!

ART: And there’s a difference between Your communion with the Father and mine right now. If I’d have been walking in the same kind of faith I’d have seen Your results! So teach me to be like You! And over and over and over He shows me these little things that’s He’s like here’s what you could have done better. I like to compare it to it’s almost like a dad teaching His son to ride a bike. When I started in healing ministry I’m praying for people to get healed and it was like 95% everybody’s getting healed. You know? And then all of a sudden around November it just stopped! All the results stopped! I’m like what do I do? Like did – was I wrong? I thought this was for every believer. Maybe it was a gift and it lifted. Like did I sin? What happened? So I went to the Lord. I’m like God why isn’t it working? Why is nobody getting healed? It’s been like a week and everybody I’ve ministered to – nothing! And He said well up until now you’ve been asking Me to do what I told you to do. Which in Matthew10:8 He commanded heal the sick. He didn’t say ask My Father to heal the sick! 

JAMIE: Umm. Uh-huh!

ART: So I said oh! All right. So I stopped saying God please heal this person and I started saying be healed in Jesus’ name! And all the result came back! And then it was like – so it was almost like dad’s running alongside the bike and I’m going like I’m riding a two-wheeler. This is great and then he’s like all right, watch what you’re doing and he let’s go and boom! Right? And then he picks me up and he says all right. This time son hold that handlebar steady. Right? And the next time you know handlebar’s steady but next time – no one showed me how to stop this thing and I smack into a house. It’s like over the last 6 years I’ve had moment – more than 6 years now but I’ve had moment after moment of like the results shut down. I go to the Lord what do You want to teach me this time? And as soon as He teaches me I apply that and the results pick up again! So I never have this idea that I’ve arrived like just because healings are happening it’s not cause I’ve figured everything out. It’s because Dad’s running alongside the bike. And then He wants to grow me and mature me into sonship cause what can God do with a fully realized son? Jesus was just the tip of the iceberg! He said greater works than these will you do because I’m going to the Father!   

JAMIE: Wow! This in incredible! Art, I appreciate your honesty! Look, we’re going to be right back. I’m going to ask Art how he stays motivated in his ministry [music begins] so that he can continue to press on for greater levels of glory, greater accuracy in healing! Stay tuned because you’re going to want to hear this!
