Sid: My guest Nasir Siddiki is red hot for the Messiah, I mean coming from a Moslem background and in a hospital dying, over hearing the doctors saying that he has no chance, Jesus came into his bedroom and the healing process began. And he has seen so many miracles in his own family and among other people and he wants to see other people healed. And you and I were discussing about Kenneth Hagen and how he got so many people healed; would you repeat that to me.
Nasir: Well, what he would do when he had his healing and all faith crusades he would teach the word Monday morning, Monday night, Tuesday same thing, Wednesday, Thursday same thing and he would tell people, “You must sit under the word, I’m not just going to pray for you I’m going to give you the word.”
Sid: Now, people don’t want that, people want just lay your hands on me. That’s all I want, stop the music, music, stop the worship, stop the teaching.
Nasir: Yes, and then only those that attended those teaching sessions would he lay hands on on Friday the last night and he had every single person healed. They would get up out of wheel chairs; they would leave their walkers on the platform.
Sid: Did you see this with your own eyes?
Nasir: Yes, I saw it with my own eyes and not only did they get healed, but what was the exciting thing was that they had so much word in them that they kept their healing.
Sid: And isn’t that what happened to you and your wife Anita?
Nasir: Yes, that’s exactly what happened, symptoms of shingles tried to get back on me, symptoms of MS tried to get back on my wife but we were grounded in the word, we listened to the word twenty four hours a day.
Sid: But wait a second now, let’s take your wife for example she was, if I understood you right, she was completely paralyzed!
Nasir: Yes.
Sid: From the neck down, and it was on her right side but it was…
Nasir: It was on her right side and she lost her eyesight and her hands and her feet were twisted.
Sid: So I image she couldn’t walk, she couldn’t get to the bathroom. Did you have to carry her around?
Nasir: I had to carry her; we had to have someone come in constantly at the house to take care of her 24 hours a day.
Sid: But can you image, when those symptoms tried to come back on Anita and I mean I could picture her having a picture in her head of the way she was and it had to be a fight! How strong was she?
Nasir: Well, at the beginning all she was thinking about was what the doctor said that she would lose her organs and that she would have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. But then as she listened to the word, listened to the word on those tapes and those CDs constantly she realized that Jesus carried every sickness and every disease and she didn’t need to; then she started having thoughts of playing tennis! A crippled, blind, paralyzed and your thinking about playing tennis, why, because she put her trust…
Sid: She must have known that she’d be healed because you don’t think about playing tennis when you are in that condition. But actually my question was when those symptoms came back she still must have had pictures in her head of the way she was?
Nasir: Yes.
Sid: How did she deal with that?
Nasir: Because of the word in her she realized that the symptoms of MS were not the sickness of MS.
Sid: Say that again because I think that some people missed it.
Nasir: She realized that the symptoms of multiple sclerosis were not the sickness of multiple sclerosis. And once she came to that revelation she dealt with the symptoms so she didn’t have deal with the sickness.
Sid: But how many people are healed because of the strong anointing and a word of knowledge and then those symptoms come back as they try to do with you as they try to do with your wife and they don’t know what to do?
Nasir: And what happens is they are fooled in their mind to think that the sickness is back when it was just the symptoms that were back and then they start saying well, “I guess I didn’t get healed or I guess the sickness is back” and that opens the door for the entire sickness to come back.
Sid: How important in your opinion is worship? I look at Benny Hinn and I say to myself when I observe him, “The worship is almost his key for the anointing which then gets people healed.”
Nasir: Yes.
Sid: So how important is worship in this whole process of receiving your healing?
Nasir: The worship is really important to receive the anointing for the healing. But the word is what’s going to make you keep your healing.
Sid: So you really need both.
Nasir: Yes, you need the anointing and you need the word, the anointing will heal you, but the word will keep you healed.
Sid: Have you, now to me any healing is a miracle, but have you ever seen what are known as the Messianic miracles, someone being risen from the dead?
Nasir: Yes Sid, what happened was, I was living in Tulsa I got a call that my brother Aasif was in London, England and was in Westminster Hospital, and the call that I got was from my sister that he had died and we started praying. Because you got to remember that I came from a Muslim background so my brother was a Muslim and so we started praying and standing on the scriptures, and as we were praying the Holy Spirit said, “You and your household shall be saved!” And so we prayed, prayed, prayed the next thing I heard his body came back to life in the morgue and they brought him back to intensive care. I got on a plane, flew over to England and there he was with wires and tubes all over him. That was just a miracle of God, laid hands on him and after several days he came out of the coma and he started to share. And he said, “I died” and I said, “Aasif, I know you died, I saw the report, the doctors told me you died, but how do you know that you died?” And he started describing Sid, what he saw.
Sid: What did he see?
Nasir: He had left his body, he was looking down, he saw his body on a stretcher, he saw the doctors around him trying to revive his heart. He had overdosed on morphine, his heart had stopped and when they could not revive his heart he saw this with his own eyes, that they put a sheet over him, put him in the elevator and took him down to the morgue which was in the basement of that hospital and left him there. And the next thing he saw he was falling in a very very dark hole.
Sid: Because he was Muslim and did not know the Lord at that time.
Nasir: Exactly, and he was going down, down, down and he would look to either side and there were creatures, ugly creatures and he was even terrified to describe them because you could see that fear in his eyes. And as he was going further and further down, finally he looked up and there he saw a cross. I said, “What do you mean a cross?” He says, “You know the cross, you know the cross that Jesus was on? And I said, “Yes, yes yes, you saw Jesus on the cross. He said, “No, I saw myself on the cross, what does this mean?” Well the Lord prompted me to share the scriptures with him, “That the wages of sin are death, we all deserve to be on the cross because we’ve all sinned, unless we accept what Jesus did which was to take all of our sins when He went to the cross. And as I started to describe that, my brother gave his life to the Lord.
Sid: Now, I don’t think that your brother would have given his life to the Lord if he hadn’t experienced that miracle.
Nasir: Yes.
Sid: And that’s what we were talking about on yesterday’s broadcast. We’re coming into a very very challenging time for the world, but isn’t that going to be God’s greatest opportunity for evangelism? And I believe that if others can do what you can do, we can make an impact on the Kingdom of Heaven. Is there any doubt in your mind, are you someone special? Do you have special gifts from God?
Nasir: No, no, no I’m just an Ex-Moslem that got hungry for Jesus and hungry for the word and kept studying the word, and I’m still studying the word today. Because I know that Heaven and Earth will pass but His word will never pass and it has just as much power today to work in our lives as it had when Jesus walked the Earth.
Sid: And someone says to you right now, yes but I prayed and prayed and it’s been years and I’m not healed!
Nasir: Yes, the key was not just praying, the key was building your faith by hearing the word.
Sid: How many people miss that and say, “Well God you have the ability to heal me, why aren’t you doing it?”
Nasir: Because the scripture says that “Without faith it is impossible to please God.”
Sid: And they’d say, “Well I believe.”
Nasir: Yes, you can tell what someone believes by their thoughts, their words, and their actions. And you can see them talking about their sickness all day and then claiming they believe in healing.
Sid: So it sounds to me like that’s what James was talking about when he talked about being double minded.
Nasir: Absolutely, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” So when you listen to someone’s words, you soon get an idea of what they believe.
Sid: What do you believe? What do you believe if those symptoms come upon you, are you ready for it? Now is the time to prepare, now’s the time to get a foundation, why don’t you start fresh right now, because “Let every man be a liar, but God’s word is true.”
