SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest Dr. Morris Cerullo has spent 70 years understanding miracles, understanding healing, equipping millions, literally millions all over the world to do everything he can do. But a few months back he got an incurable disease. But it was, I mean, when I saw the pictures it will make you sick. It was literally eating his flesh and he was in such bad shape that a man like this, it’s hard to believe, prayed with his wife, “God take me. I’m ready to go to Heaven.” He had what he calls the greatest miracle of his life and that’s why he’s my guest. But let me tell you this. This isn’t the exciting thing. The exciting thing is God spoke to him and said, “When you share what I just did for you, healings will occur everywhere.” Dr. Morris Cerullo, I have just really studied your life and you should have never survived. You had everything going. I mean, he’s raised in orphanages. He’s rejected. At age eight, you were ready to jump, to commit suicide. What stopped you?
MORRIS: I would have committed suicide in the orphanage, standing on the windowsill. I, when the presence of God came over that little boy, eight years old, something that you couldn’t explain, that he couldn’t explain because he never understood it before. But that presence caused him to back off from that windowsill and I just stood there paralyzed like gazing into the heavens. My life was saved.
SID: And then when you were a little older a nurse at this Jewish orphanage.
MORRIS: Yes, she was an angel of God.
SID: Yes. She ended up giving him a New Testament to read. But the staff found out about it and there was one day where they literally wanted you to renounce your belief in Jesus and they started beating you. Do you remember that day?
MORRIS: Yes. Of course. I never will forget that.
SID: How bad was it?
MORRIS: Well it happened frequently after the exposure that I was reading this New Testament under my covers.
SID: But you’re a Jew. You’re raised Jewish.
MORRIS: Yes.
SID: You’re a young boy and they say don’t do it. I mean, why didn’t you just say okay.
MORRIS: No. All I could do was look at them and say I know that it’s real, I know that it’s real and you cannot take it from me.
SID: And you walked out of the orphanage that day because—
MORRIS: At 14-and-a-half years of age.
SID: I mean, he knows one person in the city and doesn’t have money. He doesn’t even know where he’s working. Now I understand the weather was pretty bad.
MORRIS: It was a December blizzard night, snowing, wintery. And I stood on the street corner, Main Street in Clifton, New Jersey and when I looked up in the sky I prayed, “God, if this Jesus is real, let him be with me right now.” And on the street corner, 14-and-a-half-year-old orphan boy had the presence of two angels that came and took my hand, and led me for miles until I stood face to face with the woman that brought me the message of Jesus.
SID: And you had a heavenly encounter where you were literally taken out of your body and that’s when things really changed. Explain that.
MORRIS: Yes. This is a supernatural manifestation and as I was in prayer at an altar in the Assembly of God Church in Patterson, New Jersey, I was taken out of my body and I was brought up into some place in the heavens, but I saw a manifestation, a light that was so bright it lit up the entire heavens. And across the heavens was a multitude of people that no man could number. And that’s when the Lord brought me to the presence of God. And when I got up to the presence of God around my whole body the very Glory of God lit me up like a light, 15 years of age. When he walked away I saw two footprints in the sky. I looked into those footprints. I cannot describe to you what I saw, but I saw a vision of Hell, and when I did, I put my feet into those footprints. They were my exact size. And then the voice spoke and said to me, “You will rise, you will shine. The Glory of the Lord will be risen upon you.”
SID: You didn’t even know that was Scripture.
MORRIS: I didn’t. From Isaiah.
SID: I’m sure of it. You know, I’m going to fast forward. You’re in Bible school and you had—
MORRIS: You’re making you cry.
SID: I’m not making you cry. But I’ll tell you what, I have to ask you this question. You’re in Bible school, you’re a pretty good athlete, you’re playing baseball, you’re pitching …
MORRIS: You don’t have to go there.
SID: I’m going there.
MORRIS: Softball.
SID: So it’s not like that, it’s like that. Okay. And the ball comes back to you like a bullet and hits you.
MORRIS: I didn’t have enough time to turn a little bit. It smacked my face.
SID: Someone didn’t like you. They wanted to get you out of this earth back then.
MORRIS: Broke my jaw. My jaw hanged down. I went and had the necessary medical treatment. They put a brace on my neck and—
SID: But get this, he’s supposed to speak in a church. He had accepted and as I understand, you were wrapped in cloth like that.
MORRIS: Yes.
SID: And you had pretty bad pain.
MORRIS: Right.
SID: And he’s all wrapped in this bandage. He’s supposed to speak. Everyone is sure he’s going to cancel.
MORRIS: I’m sure I’m going to make a fool of myself.
SID: So why did you do it?
MORRIS: Because I told everybody in the school, I said, “When I step up there God is going to heal me.”
SID: Yes, but you couldn’t even talk normal.
MORRIS: Well I talked enough to say those words and the whole 40 or 50 of the student body filled that little church. I got to the entrance of the church and I said, “God, this is your moment.” And I tore the brace off. Now remember, I’m about 16 or 17 now. Tore the brace off and walked into the church, my jaw hanging down, pain. I sat on the front where the pastor was sitting and he introduces me as if to say we got a crazy boy here.
SID: Why didn’t you just run out the back door?
MORRIS: No, because I believed. I knew. See, I had a walk with God. That was, very few people in the world had ever had and I knew him. I saw him. I stood up to speak. I opened the Bible, the first chapter of John, “In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God.” The moment I spoke the first word, my jaw snapped in place. I was totally healed.
SID: Now the room was packed with students from the Bible school. Did they see this?
MORRIS: They saw it. It started a revival.
SID: Literally, he is here on borrowed time. He should not be here. He’s defied the doctors. He defied himself. He defied his wife. He was ready to throw in the towel. We’ll talk about that in a little while. I know you’ll be back. I know there’s going to be, he’s probably witnessed more miracles than any man alive and I believe you’re about ready to be a miracle. Be right back.
