SID: I’m curious now. You’ve really got my curiosity on your son. Were you praying specifically that he would be set free at the same time as you prayed for yourself?
BILL: I never mentioned him in the court case.
SID: And he wasn’t present?
BILL: He wasn’t present.
SID: Boy, we serve a good God.
BILL: Oh, I’ll tell you what, glory to God.
SID: I want you to understand this and understand it well, it might not be your lack of faith that is blocking healing and many of your other prayers. It could be the mystery of iniquity. Most do not even know about this mystery. I guess that’s why it’s called the mystery in the Bible. Next.
We’ll be right back to It’s Supernatural.

We now return to It’s Supernatural.
SID: Bill, what is the mystery of iniquity?
BILL: 2 Thessalonians Chapter Two, verse seven, has this little phrase in it talking about the mystery of iniquity. The word mystery there just simply means that which has been hidden or covered. That word actually is found quite a bit in the new Testament, even with regarding to the mystery of redemption before it was unveiled after Christ was risen. But in this instance, the devil is trying to hide the iniquity so that he can maintain the legal rights it’s providing to him, that there are three specific scriptures in the New Testament that tell us that we need to purify, purge and cleanse ourselves. Now, our spirits were taken care of by the born again experience, and God cleaned our spirit up, we couldn’t do that. But, you’ve got to renew your mind and then you have to go to work on taking care of what is in your physical body, the passions of the flesh, because your physical body is actually called, in the New Testament, corrupt and defiled.
So, the defilement is these things that are in our bloodline history that many times we’re completely unaware of, that fuel the fire of these behaviors that people have a hard time after they’re born again, being able to bring it under control. People that are addicted to all kinds of things, pornography and getting caught up in all kind of devious sexual activity, alcoholism, drug addiction, whatever is particularly addictive in its type of how it operates.
SID: But you teach even health conditions, like you’ve been praying and praying for high blood pressure to be normalized and everything you do, even the medicine, it’s not even working. You had high blood pressure.
BILL: Yes, I did.
SID: Tell me about that.
BILL: It hasn’t been all that long ago, Sid, that at the beginning of this year of 2020, I had an attack of high blood pressure that lasted… It hit me, it actually began to hit me on a Sunday morning just before I was getting ready to go to church to preach. I pushed through all of that and went and preached anyway. When I came back home from church, my blood pressure was up in the 160, 161 over the high hundred and teens, like 116 to 118. That’s dangerous territory. And it was staying in that realm all night long, Sunday night into Monday morning. And Lori was praying for me—
SID: That’s your wife.
BILL: Yeah, my wife Lori, she was praying for me and checking my blood pressure every 30 minutes because if it got too high, we were going to have to go to the hospital. But that Monday morning, my son-in-law Kelsey came over, the Lord had given him a couple of scriptures that he shared with me, which did actually speak to me some important things that I needed to know. But then, we felt impressed again, to go to the Courts of Heaven. And we just stepped over by faith, we didn’t feel anything or hear anything. We just by faith stepped over. And I asked the Lord, as the righteous judge, I don’t know what I’m dealing with here, but I have a sense that this is not something that is just a sickness, it’s tied to iniquity.
