SID: Robert Henderson, I don’t know about you, but if my wife had come to me with a dream like that, that would have put the fear of God within me. How would you react?
ROBERT: Well yes, that’s exactly what it did. I mean, whatever she said to me that the Lord had said, “Tell Robert that if he does not pray for them correctly they will die.” It actually, it did put the fear of God in me, but it also kind of frustrated me because I was like, well what do I do with that? I mean, I’m doing the best I know how. I’m praying for these people, we’re seeing people healed, but we were seeing some others that were not healed, and I knew God was addressing that.
SID: Okay. So you were really seeking God and he gave you a revelation of God in three dimensions of prayer.
ROBERT: Yes.
SID: Explain that.
ROBERT: Yes. In the Book of Luke, Jesus, whenever his disciples asked him, in Luke 11, to teach them to pray, he actually in the Book of Luke, Luke 11, he gave them two dimensions and then in Luke 18, added the third dimension. He first said, “When you approach God, approach him as Father.” He said that they should say, “Our Father which art in Heaven.” And then he said, in Luke 11, Verse 5-8, “In which you are having a friend.” So the second realm is approach God as friend, but then the third realm is in Luke 18, where he said that there was a judge, an unjust judge that a widow came before. And the Bible is not saying that God is an unjust judge we have to convince. The whole issue is if this widow could get a verdict from an unjust judge, how much more can we get a verdict from God our righteous judge. And so that’s the third dimension of prayer, stepping into the courts of Heaven, where we begin to deal with every legal issue that’s stopping us from getting the full benefit of what Jesus paid for.
SID: You explain that one of the biggest hindrances is the devil has legal rights against us. Explain that.
ROBERT: Yes. That is the biggest thing, is that the enemy uses legal things in our own personal life, but also in our bloodlines, that he uses issues that become legal things that are used to resist God’s purposes in our life. Peter addresses, in First Peter 5:8, when he said, “Be sober, be vigilant for your adversary…” That’s the Greek word “antidikos” and it means one who brings a lawsuit. So the enemy is occupying a legal position building a case so he can bring a lawsuit, so the Bible says he can devour. You see, he can only devour when he’s discovered a legal right. And in the realm of healing when the enemy is devouring us with sickness and disease, it’s because he has discovered quite often something legal that’s giving him the right to do that.
SID: Tell me about your friend that had the tumor.
ROBERT: Yes. My friend was suffering from a pituitary gland tumor and I think he had been in the condition for at least six weeks. And every ten minutes this intense pain would wash over him. The doctors could not get the pain relieved. They had him on medicine, all sorts of things. We had prayed a couple of times, but nothing had changed. And all of a sudden he called me and he said, “Would you please pray for me again.” And I, at this point, and he’s African-American, I said, “Okay, we need to deal with issues in your bloodline.” And I said, “Because in Africa, at every city gate there is an altar that dedicates that city to demon powers and dedicates the inhabitants of that city, and your ancestors would have lived in one of the cities. So we need to come before the courts and we need to ask that from the courts there would be annulling of those covenants that were made in your bloodline that dedicated you and your bloodline to the devil. And so I led him through this prayer and through this process.” He got up that night and went to the couch area in the living room and he prayed one more time. He said, “Lord, please heal me.” He found himself awake the next morning with no pain, completely healed, all the issue gone because we had dealt with the legal right the enemy had used to afflict him with that sickness.
SID: And you find people with stage 4 cancer that when you find the legal right and get rid of it then it’s a given.
ROBERT: Absolutely. I was just in a conference and a lady walked up to me and said to me, she said, “I just need to tell you.” She hadn’t even read my new book. She just said, “I just took the principles that you have spoken of and I went before the courts in behalf of my mother and over a process of time dealt with legal issues that the enemy was using.” And then she said, “My mother is now completely healed of stage 4 cancer, completely free from it.”
SID: You know, another one of the holds the devil has over people is words you have spoken or words that have been spoken about you. Did you know you can get rid of those, I mean, right now? We’ll be right back
