Our Guest Patricia Bootsma
SID: Okay, I know everyone can’t wait to find out what is science saying about speaking in supernatural languages or tongues?
PATRICIA: As I’ve studied this I found that Dr. Carl R. Peterson, for example, at Oral Roberts University did a study on the brain of those who speak in tongues, glossolalia, two secretions, chemical secretions are secreted in the human brain only in glossolalia, and they boost our immune system 35 to 40 percent.
SID: Seriously? I don’t know any vitamin that can make that claim. What else have they found?
PATRICIA: Yes. The New York Times even published an article. University of Pennsylvania did some studies. They had some monitors in the frontal lobe of the brain of five ladies who were speaking in tongues. And now normally, as I’m speaking to you, my frontal lobe of my brain is active, but for them, in speaking in tongues, it was not active, showing what they were saying, which was this isn’t just me talking, this is a supernatural language. One more I thought was interesting, a study in the U.K., a thousand people were surveyed and found those who spoke in tongues regularly were much more joyful, much more satisfied with their lives.
SID: How would you like to walk in peace? How would you like to walk in destiny? How would you like to block the devil out from interfering with your life? How would you like to have dreams in which you see the future? Tell me some people that we might have heard of that had dreams that literally changed the world.
PATRICIA: You know, God speaks through dreams. For example, Frederick Banting, in discovering insulin, that came in two dreams. How about Einstein, he had a dream about the theory of relativity. That’s how he got that. Niels Bohr with the discovery of the structure of the atom, those all came in dreams. And by the way, warning dreams, I would say this, after the Titanic sank, did you know that hundreds were saying that there were dreams or premonitions of this happening. As a matter of fact, for some of them they had cancelled passage on the ship, or for others like Eva Hart, for example, who was a survivor who said her mother had had a dream, but her father still wanted to go on the ship. But as soon as that bump came in the night and they were on the first lifeboat and saved because of her mother having a dream. So we can pay attention to dreams. I just want to add this. When you have a negative dream we need to also pray against it. It may be that God is just giving us second heaven revelation, what the enemy wants to do so that we can intercede and see it not happen. Let’s say that you’re having a dream about something like I mentioned, about something negative. You want to intercede against it or get revelation. For example, I will sometimes get dreams that are for the church. So it’s interesting. God is a revealer of secrets. He wants to give us secrets that also are for fruitfulness and for expanding the Kingdom of God. Just we need to pay attention.
SID: Okay. You, your husband now, your children are operating all this way. But you have a large, large congregation now. Do you find when you or your husband teach in these areas they can do the same as you?
PATRICIA: Yes, absolutely, I would say that. Again, it’s the Word of God. Jesus died to give us this. So some of it is believing that God has desired this for us and some of it is learning to just tune in. I kind of put it this way. Right now in this room there is cell phone waves, there’s TV waves. If we just have the right antenna we can pick it up. So we have the right antenna. It’s called the Holy Spirit. And so we just need to get in tune with our antenna. Do you know, I would really hate to get to Heaven and find out there was so much more that Jesus died to give me that I didn’t walk in. And I think that’s what God is saying to Christians here today, and listening today, is Jesus died to give us the tools to walk in the supernatural, to hear his voice, to dream his dreams, to understand mysteries and to live it out, and so why wouldn’t we want that.
SID: I believe you’re going to release destiny and gifting on people. Would you pray right now.
PATRICIA: Absolutely. Absolutely. Lord, we thank you for the Kabad, weightiness of your Glory coming right through the airways, right in this audience. Lord, the weightiness of your presence, we welcome you, we love you. Lord, we just say come in your Glory. And Lord, I thank you for helping us to get up and go on with the calling and the destiny that you have for us, full of faith. Lord, exercising, believing and saying yes, Lord, here am I, send me. So let your Glory come upon us, just like Moses said. If you don’t, it must be your presence that leads us and then I will go. So God, come with your presence. Come with your Glory. I even see right now just people getting healed, getting healed of things that have held them back from God’s calling in their lives. It’s like with that backache or that migraine headache that’s been so persistent. In Jesus’s name it’s broken now through the power of the blood of Jesus. I also see financial provision. You know, just tithe anyway. Give anyway. You give and see what God does. And another thing, resist the devil and he will flee from you. And there’s something about us standing up in our authority and saying, hey, I’m not going to have any more of this robbery. I want my calling. I want my destiny and I’m going to have it in Jesus’s name. Amen.
SID: Amen.
