Our Guest Todd Smith
SID: A great, great miracle occurs wherever Todd prays, or wherever Todd especially is near water. Do you remember when I said to you, because I was observing what was happening at your church, how would you like to baptize people in the Jordan River? What went on inside of you?
TODD: It just exploded, because I know this is the exact spot where Jesus was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended upon him. The heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him.
SID: But if people aren’t here, would you do it? Will that fire and glory and miracle working power hit them at home when you pray?
TODD: Absolutely. Absolutely.
SID: I mean, you go to church. It’s not just his church, it’s not just the Jordan River, it’s God has such a passion for you to fulfill your destiny. And that’s what I… really, they need your prayer to fulfill their destiny. But to wet our appetite, with so many major miracles that are going on at your church, what is your all time favorite, if I forced you to it, of miracles you’ve seen recently?
TODD: Sid we have this stack high of miracles.
SID: I know, but tell me one.
TODD: That is very difficult. It happened recently, a pastor out of Louisiana, I’ll just call his first name Larry. He comes to our church, he heard what God was doing. The fire of God is falling. The fire is in the water. People are getting touched by the power of the Holy Spirit. He comes, and he has the lower 12 inches of his back… the lower 12 inches of his back, he has no cartilage. For seven years he’s taking hydrocodone, the highest dosage a person can handle per day.
SID: That’s for pain.
TODD: For pain. Just tolerance. He comes to our church, he hears that the fire of God is in the water, the presence of the Lord. He gets baptized, and he drives 10 hours home back to Louisiana and he realizes, “I have no back pain.” He gets up the next morning, and his habit is to take a pill so he can get out of bed. He says, “Honey, I’m not going to take any pain pill medicine today.” And he gets up and he realizes there’s no pain in his back.
SID: Wait, that’s impossible with all that spine missing.
TODD: All of it… the cartilage is not… it’s bone upon bone. And he gets up and he says, “Honey I have zero pain.” And what God did in his life for the last five weeks since he’s been baptized at that moment, he has had zero pain. And the beautiful thing Sid, he has no withdrawal symptoms from taking five pills a day of hydrocodone for seven years. No withdrawal symptoms. Jesus completely healed his back.
SID: I’m going to tell you something. That is normal. That is what God wants you to be doing. But before I release Todd to pray for you, I want to pray a prayer that you have your own experiential knowledge of God, because whether you know it or not, Jesus said this is eternal life. And in the original language of the New Testament Greek, it says that you might have your own experiential knowledge with God and so few of you have had that. Say this prayer to the best of your ability. Believe it. Out loud, very important, right now. And I don’t want anyone to keep their mouth like this. This is it. This is what you’ve always wanted. This is what you were created for.
Repeat after me out loud, “Dear Jesus.” Say it out loud, “Dear Jesus, I’m a sinner. Against you, and you alone, have I sinned. And I’m so sorry. I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins, and I’m clean. So good to feel clean. And now that I’m clean, I boldly proclaim, Jesus you’re my Lord and Savior. Lord Jesus come inside of me, take over my life. I make you Lord of my life.” I want you now to see a little bit of what just happened in the Jordan River.
TODD: Father we love you. Thank you for what you’re going to do here at the Jordan River, the very place where your son Jesus, our Savior was baptized. He set the example for us for emersion. I thank you Lord that we’re going to be cleansed, we’re going to be purified, we’re going to be healed emotionally, physically. Lord, you’re going to heal fractures in our souls today. That you’re going to purify us. We expect the very same thing that happened to you to happen to us, the Holy Spirit descending upon us. We thank you that you’re going to baptize us with Holy Spirit fire, fire, fire in these waters right here Father. The same thing you’re doing in Dawsonville, Georgia, you’re going to do right here in Israel in the Jordan River. We rejoice and bless you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
SID: Todd, they don’t need to be in Israel for the fire to hit. Although this is the best place I know to get the fire of God. But pray right now for the people at home. I want the same fire that hit Jesus, that hit Todd, that hit me, to hit you.
TODD: Right now, whatever’s going on in your body, I believe that Jesus wants to heal you. He wants to touch you. And as Sid said, you don’t have to be here. You don’t have to come to Dawsonville. The fire of the Lord can come upon you right where you are. I want to pray for you right now. But in fact, before I pray, put your hand on the part of your body that is hurting, wherever you’re struggling. It may be emotional issues, it may be arthritic issues, it may be a cancer in your body. But as I pray, I’m believing that the presence of Jesus is going to fill your room and he’s going to heal your body supernaturally.
So Jesus, I thank you right now, that you’re releasing your healing power, the anointing, into homes all over the world. I thank you Lord right now, that cancer is being annihilated. Those cells in people’s bodies, Lord, they are literally dying at the root. We release your healing power, we release Lord, the strength and might of God into their lives. We thank you, that you’re right now taking care Father, of tumors that are shrinking in people’s bodies, on their side. And I see one right now on their neck that is shrinking in Jesus’ name. I believe right now Father, that your kingdom is being released all across this world, and moving supernaturally, unprecedented miracles in their lives right now.
SID: Pray for the fire.
TODD: Father, I pray also for the fire of the Holy Spirit. Many of you need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit right now. Pray this after me, say Jesus.
SID: Jesus.
TODD: Fill me.
SID: Fill me.
TODD: With the Holy Spirit and fire.
SID: With the Holy Spirit and fire.
TODD: Come upon me now.
SID: Come upon me now.
TODD: In Jesus’ name.
SID: In Jesus’ name.
TODD: Amen.
