Sid: My guest by way of telephone is Debra Alderman; I’m speaking to her at her office Stafford, TX a suburb of Houston, Texas. I’m interviewing her on a visitation that she had from the Lord in which He equipped her literally to a ban overnight soul winner. She has written a book called “You Can Be an Overnight Soul Winner” which pacts an anointing; a transferable anointing. And remember the word of God says “He who wins souls is wise.” Debra you said something a little earlier in the week that sparked a major interest on my part; you talked about such a key word compassion. Now when you were in West Africa that’s when this really broke on you; tell me about that.
Debra: Well, the first time I went to Africa Sid I didn’t really realize that when I was there in Africa that Jesus was really changing my life. And whenever I came back home after I returned home from Africa I just kept myself locked up in my house for 24 hours. Because I was just weeping uncontrollably because the African people had such an impact on my life. Because they love Jesus so much; they’re so on fire for God and the very first time that I left my house and went to a Wal-Mart Store a young man ended up having his life totally touched and transformed because of that fresh anointing that God had placed on my life on foreign soil.
Sid: And now we haven’t said this all week but it would be helpful; I’m going to do a little role playing. I’m unsaved and the Holy Spirit has just told you to walk up to me what would you say?
Debra: Normally I would just come up and say “You know, you may not understand this but I just want you to know how special you are today and how much Jesus Christ loves you.”
Sid: Well, thank you goodbye.
Debra: (Laughing) And I would say “You have a good day.”
Sid: “Oh, you wouldn’t run after me?”
Debra: Most of the time I don’t because the way that I pray Sid is I asked God to put hungry sinners in my pathway.
Sid: How often does this happen?
Debra: It happens almost on a daily basis.
Sid: Now could this happen for everyone that’s listening to us right now that knows the Lord?
Debra: Absolutely and you know Sid the most encouraging story in the entire Bible to me is in John Chapter 4 the woman at the well. And if a woman who had 5 husbands who was living with a man that she was not married to could have her life so changed by one touch from Jesus that she went and called the whole city to turn out Samaria and to hear Jesus. And the Bible says that many believed on Him that day. If God could change the woman at the well then God can change any of us at any time Sid and God can use a normal person to be a soul winner.
Sid: Now I don’t want to go in much detail on this but part of soul winning as I understand the Bible is signs and wonders to grab attention. Do you have sign and wonders and if so what?
Debra: Oh, absolutely and every believer should have signs and wonders.
Sid: I mean that was the norm for the first believers but somehow with the seeker sensitive mentality and the entertainment sport mentality we’ve kind of lost the supernatural of God.
Debra: Well, that is so true and but I just believe Sid that God is wanting every believer to you know get back to the Bible and just I’m reminded that there is so many things I could share but just one quick thing. A teenager in a Midwestern state came to one of our retreats and said “She’d been diagnosed with AIDS.” We prayed and we believed God for a miracle and a year later I saw that same girl and she was absolutely had no trace or the HIV or the AIDS disease in her bloodstream. And so that is a testimony; miracles are a testimony. We see Jesus opening up deaf ears; opening up blind eyes. I mean God is a miracle working God.
Sid: Now one of the keys in your book when you talk about is having your own personal intimacy with God.
Debra: That’s it.
Sid: What’s the best advice you could give us to have this intimacy?
Debra: The best advice that I can give Sid is for every single believer to spend time with God every day.
Sid: When someone spends time give some suggestions; what do you do?
Debra: Well what you do is you can buy all types of devotions that you can read a scripture a day; that’s a great start especially for a new believer. And read your Bible and just pray. And praying is talking directly to God just like you were sitting in a room talking with your best friend. And that is what I started out doing when I first got saved. That is what I continue to do today; you know if you’re a Mom with small children God knows where you’re at maybe you only have 2 or 3 minutes to spend with God. If you’re a single living by yourself you may have more time than that.
Sid: Debra the anointing of God is starting to really increase right now; I want you to pray what you receive from the Messiah will be freely given to those that are hungering and thirsting to fulfill their destiny. And if God moves you into words of knowledge of healing wonderful. And or anything else He wants you to pray.
Debra: Father right now in Jesus Name Father I want to thank You for every man, every woman; every child; every teenager that desires to win souls for Your kingdom. And Father today I thank You for a special anointing of the special Holy Spirit that will come upon their lives. And Father, I thank You for Divine appointments that they’ll have in their schools, that they’ll have in their neighborhoods; at the grocery stores, at the gas stations; on their jobs. Father everywhere where they go I thank You that they will literally have Divine appointments and that they will be bold to share the gospel to share the love of Jesus with every single person that they come into contact with. And Father I thank You today that I take authority over spirit of fear. I just thank You my Father that they’ll be no fear operating in their lives but they’ll operate in the boldness of Jesus. They’ll operate in the boldness of the Holy Spirit witnessing and winning souls across the land. And Father we’re thankful for that today in Jesus Name. And right now I just want to speak to those of you that possibly you have a broken-heart, possibly the enemy the devil has lied to you saying that your life has no purpose; that your life has no meaning you’ll never be used by God in a big way. Well right now in the Name of Jesus I just take authority over all of those lies. And I say “You will step into your purpose; you will step into your God dream; you will step into your God destiny; God is raising you up your life has great purpose; great value; great meaning and God wants to use you today to win souls to pray your entire family into the kingdom of God.” Right now in Jesus Name I just thank You my Father that wives are seeing their husbands saved, husbands are seeing their wives saved. I thank You My Father that Your seeing their children on fire; they’re seeing their parents saved; their grandparents saved. And Father I thank You that there’s no one to hard or too difficult for your to turn around and turn into the Kingdom of God. And Father we give You the glory for that today. And Father I thank You that every person can be an overnight soul winner. And that Father that You are using us and anointing every single one of us to reach out and to touch that we come into contact with. And Father I thank You that we are winning souls for Your glory in Jesus Name.
Sid: Debra, what would you say to the one listening to us right now that is so crushed that they’re contemplating suicide.
Debra: I would say to you today that don’t you dare do it your life has value; your life has purpose. And I want to say to you today I’ve been in your shoes; I’ve nearly commited suicide when I was a 15 year old teenager over some goofy boy that broke off a relationship with me. And it doesn’t matter how dark things may look right now Jesus loves you and He can turn this situation around. There is hope for your life; God wants to turn this around. In fact he wants to spare your life and He wants to use you to touch other people’s lives and to impact them in such a way that they’ll not commit suicide that they’ll grab a hold of that anointing that God’s placed on your life and that you’ll be able to share your experience and help someone else out with that.
Sid: Debra, very briefly July of ’92 when Jesus walked into your living room what did He say to you?
Debra: He said “Debra, I called you to be a soul winner and from this day forward the anointing that I’ve placed on your life is about to intensify.” And Sid that’s exactly what God has done for me and what God wants to do for every person who so desires the anointing to win souls.
Sid: What kind of feedback in reference to that are you getting from your book “You Can be an Overnight Soul Winner” as far as the anointing they receive that’s transferable?
Debra: I’ve had people say “I’ve read the book and as soon as I’ve closed the book I’ve got down down on my face before God; I just begin to cry out before the Lord.” I’ve had people say to me Sid I could not stop weeping; I’ve left my home that day I immediately began to witness to people;Jesus immediately began to use me to win souls like never before.” So I know Sid that this anointing is transferable just like I read Aimee Semple McPherson’s book my life was changed. You can read “You Can be An Overnight Soul Winner” that their lives can be changed as well.
Sid: Debra, thank you so much for being my guest. Mishpochah I want you take Debra home with you.
