Sid: Why settle for religion when you can have intimacy with the creator of the universe, there is not a close second. My guest in the studio her name is Juennine Fox, she’s from Houston, Texas. I found out on yesterday’s broadcast that her father was as heathen as a heathen could be. He was an absentee father, he was into the New Age and he was driving his car drunk with a couple of friends and he was ready to go off of a cliff and all of a sudden he realized this is it and he yelled “Jesus!” And supernaturally he got out of that car without a scratch, you said that it would crush like a coke-cola can. I mean the car itself and there was no explanation he gave his heart to God. He became a pastor, you became a PK’s kid.
Juennine: That’s right.
Sid: You were tired to people pestering you “When are you going to get saved.”
Juennine: Yes.
Sid: So you decided to fake it, you decided to go up say the prayer and now no one will ever bother you. She goes up and she has an encounter with Jesus and it totally transforms her life. She started studying to become an opera singer, she studied at the University of Michigan and famous opera singer in New York City was mentoring her. She was part of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir for 3 or 4 years, and one week she was so desperate for more of God she fasted sleep. She got up about 2:00 in the morning till 6 and she would just worship God on the seventh night what happened?
Juennine: On the 7th night around 6:00 in the morning almost time for me to go to work I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit fill my room. I looked at the wall and there was cloud. I actually saw a cloud come through the wall and it started coming toward me; it was kind of fearful because what would you do if you saw a cloud coming toward you? I knew that the Holy Spirit was there but I’ve never seen His manifest presence so revealed.
Sid: I’m reminded what my Jewish people did when on Mount Sinai saw the cloud the cloud and the thunder and they said “I don’t want to hear God’s voice anymore.”
Juennine: Right it is a fearful thing to be in the presence of a living God but He’s a holy God He’s a righteous God as well. And we’re just in awe of His glory and this cloud started to come toward me as it was a living presence. It had a mind of its own and it had a purpose and I started to move my feet toward the bed because I was getting scared I couldn’t go back any further on my bed. I’m wondering what was happening, where I mean I’m backed up against the bedpost and it started coming toward me and coming over my feet. And Sid as this cloud it was like a greenish, gray as it came over my feet my feet became hot red as if my feet were enclosed in cloves of fire and it started going over my legs. Every place where this cloud started moving on top of me I became hot until it reached my hands Sid. Because at this point by the time it came to my hands I knew that it was not going to hurt me I knew this was God, this was God. I was receiving an impartation, there was an anointing happening. And this cloud came over my hands and I turned my hands to look at them and my hands became blood red right in front of me. I literally saw my hands that were yellowish in complexion start to turn red like a lobster. You could see it becoming red and hot, hot, hot, hot, very very hot. And out of this cloud was a hand I actually felt a hand inside of the cloud take my hand as if Jesus Himself was putting His hand on my hand and He began to rub a balm a healing balm into my hand into the palm of my hand. His circular motion to my left hand and then to my right the hands of Jesus came out of that cloud and started to anoint my hands. And all of a sudden my Bible that was already open the pages started to turn without me turning them Sid. There was almost a wind, you know the Holy Spirit He’s also a wind, He’s a breath and the breath of God started to blow those pages and it turned to Luke chapter 10 and it says “Behold I’ve given you power to trend on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the evil one and nothing shall harm you.” And I knew God was saying I’m giving you a gift, I’m giving you a gift hear and I just started praising God, praising Him and then it kept going up. Going up, up, up over my breath, over my chest over my lips and He started to anoint my lips and the Lord spoke to me in my heart and He said “I’m anointing you to preach My word and I’m anointing you to preach my word and I’m anointing you to heal the sick.”
Sid: Well, out of curiosity do you remember the first person you prayed for after receiving that anointing?
Juennine: I do, I do. I was at church about two Sunday’s later and when the anointing came my hands got really hot I prayed for this woman, I didn’t really mean to pray for her but she just came up and complained. And she said “Ah, I have a terrible backache” and I was going to say “Well, I have some aspirin in my purse.” And the Holy Spirit quickened me “No, pray for her.” And I said “Well, can I pray for you?” Boom! Out of the power of the Holy Spirit this woman falls right there on the carpet in the sanctuary and I’d never saw anyone fall under the power ever in my life. I said “What was happening” I didn’t know if she was dead.
Sid: (Laughing)
Juennine: I was scared but she got up and she said “My back is healed.” And I said “Well, there is something to this, I was just amazed.”
Sid: And then and by the way even today are there times when your hands will get hot and you know that you’re supposed to pray for someone or do you operate through words of knowledge how does this gift of healing operate today?
Juennine: When this gift of healing first manifested it was that my hands got hot whenever God wanted me to pray for someone. As I started to exercise that gift it’s almost like when you become more mature in the Lord when God takes away some of the sign posts He takes those away because He wants you to lean more on Him by faith. So all of those guides and those you know all those aids He took them away and it was all by just obedience just Him speaking to my heart “Pray for someone, just compassion.”
Sid: Well, God took you on a journey you studied under David Wilkerson; you studied the word at the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, you studied with the Hunters; you studied with Billy Joe Daugherty and his Bible School. And you were just zooming with the Lord, how could you have backslid? How? I mean you know what you remind me of I have to tell you I read the Old Testament about my forefathers.
Juennine: Yes.
Sid: All the miracles they saw in Egypt and then before you know it they backslid. But how did you?
Juennine: Do you know they backslid because they knew His works, His wonders but they did know His ways.
Sid: And what is the difference?
Juennine: Well we can experience the wonderful anointing we can be healed we can experience God’s touch and miracles but those miracles don’t change us, they don’t teach us about God’s character and they don’t enable us to know Him more, they’re the result of His goodness you see.
Sid: You know in the 40’s there was a whole crop of evangelists and that were instantly raised up and they took their tents and they went all over the United States and they instantly had miracle gifts but most of them backslid because they weren’t mature in the Lord. And they knew nothing about walking in holiness.
Juennine: That’s right walking in holiness and walking obedience and mine was I backslid because I was not walking in obedience. My story is that after I came from Bible school I tried to preach and I got discouraged Sid I just faced what a lot of preacher’s face. Door slamming on you, your too young, you’re not ordained in the right denomination and I got discouraged. And I said in my heart Lord “I don’t know if I want to serve you anymore, this is too hard; I don’t know if I want to sacrifice two weeks a year for vacation time and work a full time job; I don’t want to have it the hard way you know.”
Sid: And then of course the devil saw fit to have a nice man enter get to know you he turned out to be Muslim.
Juennine: He turned out to be Muslim and because I had pulled away from God my heart had kind of steered away from him, I started going to a Russian computer programing school thinking that I was just going to stop ministry and do it a different way. And I met this computer programmer this teacher in my class and he started taking me out and talking about God and God’s grace had left me. I really had left God, God never really left me but I left God you see. I said, “I don’t want to serve you anymore I was bitter, I was angry because I thought I wasted my time, why did I go to Bible school things are not working out the way I want them to. And I started dating this man and he told me he wanted to marry me and take me back to Iraq. And when the grace of God leaves your life that’s when you’re really in trouble. And its by grace Sid that we’re sustained by the Holy Spirit.
Sid: Could you picture if you had followed him to Iraq what would happen to you now? But anyway, go on back.
Juennine: I was so backslidden that he said “Ah, I want to take you back to Iraq with me.” And I said “Oh, how wonderful.” You know but the Lord woke me up it was his grace that also kept me. And I really believe that when we are in God’s hands he will keep us. Nothing can snatch us out of the palm of God’s hand people were praying for me and Jesus is always standing at the right hand of the Father praying for us when we’re in times of need. And a woman was praying for me and I just woke up out of that slumber, all of a sudden I realized my goodness I’m backslidden. What am I doing dating a Muslim man getting ready to marry him, getting ready to go to his Mosque, what has happened to me?
Sid: It’s still, you know it’s hard for me to believe that someone who had seen all the things that you saw could have got in that situation. It shows you how diabolical the devil is but…
Juennine: It was hard for me to believe too Sid but I cried all night when I realized that I had forsaken Jesus, I felt like Peter.
Sid: Hold that thought we’ll pick up right here on tomorrow’s broadcast. Juennine has a special teaching CD it really is a key to breakthrough in your life you’ve heard, that’s not up not using it as a trite phrase, I’m using it as a mentor item, because when you understand how God can use your thought life or the devil can used your thought life, an your imagination and when you get these areas lined up according to the word of God you begin to hear God’s voice, you begin to be a vessel able to be used by God.
