Our Guest Jodie Hughes
SID ROTH: Jodie, I mean, when you found out the doctor’s name was Lazarus, you must have gone wild. What did Lazarus have to think about your health?
JODIE: I just knew it was a smile from heaven and God’s saying, “I’ve heard your prayer, Jodie, you’re coming out of the grave. You’re coming out of the tomb.”
SID ROTH: What does the Lazarus comeback mean to those that are watching? Look at them and tell them.
JODIE: Wow, the Lazarus comeback. Let me tell you this. John 11:11 says this, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.” Lazarus’ story was beyond hope and yet Jesus came and brought him out of the tomb. That’s what Lazarus comeback miracles are. When there is no hope, Jesus is our hope, resurrection power is our hope, and comeback stories are popping in your life even now.
SID ROTH: Jodie, as you know, throughout the world, fear, even God’s children, even believers is … almost too much to take for many people, but you have a statement called, Fear is not your profit.” Explain that.
JODIE: Yeah. Well, with such a long health journey, there were many times I would find myself dwelling on what fear was saying to me. I didn’t recognize it all the time at first. I would just find myself thinking about my future days and listening to fear that I didn’t have future days, that it was worst case scenario, and I’d dwell on it.
I was actually having a shower one day and I heard the Holy Spirit say those words to me, “Jodie, fear is not your prophet.” And in a moment, it broke off fear and what I knew God was saying to me was fear is not allowed to be a directive influence in how we think of our future. Fear is not allowed to prophesy over our future. Fear is not allowed to tell us what tomorrow is going to look like. It broke something in my heart where I knew God was saying, “Stop letting fear prophesy tomorrow to you, Jodie.” So when I would feel fear come against me, I’d laugh and I’d go, “No, actually, God’s saying the exact opposite. My future is full of health. My future is full of the blessings of God. My future is full of great days and every last promise that God has given me. That is what my future is.”
SID ROTH: Jodie, while you were fighting all of these problems you were having, especially you spent a lot of time in the bathroom, and rather than a self-pity, you had a booming ministry in bathrooms.
JODIE: I did.
SID ROTH: Tell me about one.
JODIE: I still do. I would say that the place of my attack would become a place of victory. I was determined that miracles would break out. If the enemy was going to send me to the bathroom, miracles would break out. I remember one time in a Walmart and I could hear a lady swearing her head off in the bathroom. Originally, I was a bit annoyed at her, but then the compassion of God came on me. So when I saw her, I said, “Sounds like you’re having a hard day. Can I bless you?” And as I stood in a Walmart bathroom, I started to pray for her and bless her. She started crying, I started speaking God’s hope over her, and within a few moments, she was giving her life back to Jesus.
