SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Tommy Welchel. And you’ve seen people on television where they’ve been prayed for, and they’ve been overcome by the presence of God. What would happen if this happened miles away because the power of God was so strong. It can’t say the evangelists pushed them down. Tommy, what would happen at Azusa Street? How far away was the train station?
TOMMY: Six blocks.
SID: Six blocks. What would happen at the train station from the Glory that was at Azusa Street?
TOMMY: People would come into Azusa Street. They would ride in the train and they’d get off and start walking on the platform, and falling out, speaking in tongues. Some of the innocent workers were close to them, it would happen to them, too. And David Garcia came by and saw it. He thought a disaster had happened. And he’d go up and exam them, and he’s realizing they’re just speaking in tongues.
SID: Let those disasters happen. Speaking of David Garcia, tell me about the time he prayed for the man with the hole in his stomach.
TOMMY: That was something else. He said he had a big handkerchief hanging down over his stomach and it didn’t smell too good. When he came up, he asked the man, “What is your problem?” He said, “Well,” he told him, he said, he picked up and looked under and he says, his entrails just hung out, hung down on his side. And he says, so he put the flap back down and started praying. And he could feel his hand going in. And all of a sudden, he says, there was no body. So he just grabbed it and pulled it back up. There wasn’t even a hole.
SID: It just closed up.
TOMMY: It closed up. His entrails went back into his stomach and it closed up.
SID: And you know what one of the things that impressed me, Tommy? A lot of people that God was using were young people, 17-year-olds, 18-year-olds.
TOMMY: Eleven year-olds.
SID: Eleven. Tell me about someone 11 years old.
TOMMY: Ralph Riggs. Ralph said one of his biggest miracles that he saw, an old drunk had come in off the street, stunk of alcohol, very giant of a man, about six-foot-four, maybe 250 pounds. Ralph didn’t like it. But then all of a sudden he got close and he realized the man was blind, stone blind. So he had more compassion for him. He says, “What did you come here for?” He says, “Well there are people telling me, people are just, people come in here and they get healed.” He said, “I want my eyes healed.” He said, “Okay, let’s pray.” He prayed for the man. His eyes got healed. Even the stench of alcohol left. And later on through the Midwest, he had great revivals with the Assemblies of God, even my hometown. He had established his church there.
SID: And you know what’s so wonderful? Not only did Tommy hear these miracles stories, but these elderly people retained their anointing.
TOMMY: Yes.
SID: So you actually saw miracles actually before your very eyes. Tell me one.
TOMMY: There was a couple that was brought from England. The child was a greyish color. He had some kind of blood disease. He wasn’t supposed to be alive. They brought him there and of course, they came up and said, “We want to see Sister Dundee.” I said, “Oh yeah, I’ll go get her.” And I got all excited.” So I ran up to Sister Dundee, literally dragging her over there. I said, “They got this sick child.” I said, “Give her the child.” She took the child and then she just prayed for him. She stood there and finally she just handed it back and said, “Okay, the child is healed.” Gave it back to them. She turned and walked on back and went into the church. And I sat there upset. I said, “I want to see the baby.” The woman brought the baby and she about dropped it. It looked normal. She prayed with it, and we had a good time.
SID: You know what I think is so wonderful? Tommy, sometimes when he prays for people, he then prays for the impartation and others pray. Tell me about a man in California, the 13-year-old girl.
TOMMY: A little girl. I really love this story because it was the revival that broke loose after I left. Her pastor, youth pastor, had hurt his leg in a football game, and he had it in a cast. Well when I was speaking, I had to come down and set in a certain area. And I said, “Now you people up there, you pray.” And I said, “I mean you young people as well as these older ones. You pray and if God tells you go preach and go pray for somebody, obey, go down and pray for them.” Well this little girl got up and she looked about 10, but she was 13. She walked down there, laid hands on this man and all of a sudden he started jerking and yelled, “Get the cast off.” They busted his cast off and he started dancing around the church. It took me a while to get that little girl over to me. Everybody was going crazy. And I said, “Sweetheart, how old are you?” She said, “Thirteen.” I said, “Did you know you could do this anywhere, any time?” She looked puzzled. She said, “Anywhere, any time?” I said, “Yes.” Sid, she went to her school and she was, they called her “the towel girl.” You see these little girls. Okay, the poor [unintelligible] got injured bad. They had him up on the gurney. She walked up to him and said, “I believe in Divine healing. I believe if I pray for you, you will be supernaturally healed. Would you like for me to pray for you?” She said he grunted out a “yes”. She laid hands and prayed for him. He got healed. He got up and the next play, it was him out there playing.
SID: Not only one time, two times, another player got healed. Pray for that impartation. Look into the camera and pray for the impartation.
TOMMY: I’m now praying for God to move in a supernatural way. Those saints laid their hands on me and imparted supernatural anointings on me, and now I’m going to do the same thing for you. I’m going to pray right now and ask God to come supernaturally upon you to receive supernatural gifts on you working this same anointing that was at Azusa Street, in Jesus’ name right now. Now listen. There is somebody out there that is laying on a couch and you’re very ill. Doctors say you’re not going to live. You’re a man. You’re going to live. Start saying, “I will live and not die.” Start getting up and you will be healed. Do it by faith now, in Jesus’ name.
SID: It’s time for that hundred-year prophecy to be on Planet Earth. Why not now? Why not you?
