SID: Had scales on her whole face—
JOE: Her face, her nose. She went to the doctor, her hematologist, and she did a blood sample. And they called her back two days later and said, “Emma, the blood sample came back and we’ve labeled the blood wrong so we need you to come back.” She goes back two days later, they take her blood again. The next night at eight o’clock at night the hematologist calls and says, “Emma, we didn’t label your blood wrong, you’re totally healed and the diabetes you had is totally eradicated.” She went on to do a one-year case study in the medical field in Dallas, Texas, and they determined after one year she was the first person, medically documented, healed long-term of the type of diabetes she had.
SID: I’m going to tell you something, I get the feeling that you believe, you absolutely believe with every fiber of your body that when you pray for someone they’re going to be healed. You absolutely believe with every fiber of your body that they are going to feel the presence of God. Am I right?
JOE: Absolutely, I’d believe that, yes.
SID: There’s not that much doubt?
JOE: I would say that when I pray for someone it’s not always about what you feel or sense, the word of God trumps emotion, the word of God trumps senses. The word of God says in Mark 16, “If you believe,” I want to say it to the audience, “If you believe you shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” So we don’t base what we do on an emotion or a feeling but what on God says and that’s how I try to live my life.
SID: Tell me about the Buddhist woman.
JOE: Absolutely. Well, I finished the service one particular night, walked into a sandwich shop and there was a Buddhist behind the counter. Now, I believe the Bible, there’s one way to heaven and it’s through Jesus. It’s not Muhammad, it’s not Buddha, it’s not any other religion, it’s Jesus Christ. And I just asked her, I didn’t go through the book of Romans, I just said, “Have you ever felt the power of God?” She said, “No.” I said, “Would you like to?” She said, “Yes.” I just gently put my hand on her, it’s not boisterous and flamboyant, it’s just a gentle touch on her shoulder. And I just said, “Lord, I pray that the fire of the Holy Spirit would fall right now in Jesus’ name.”
Sid, you’ll never guess what happened next, she gave me my sandwich. And so I’m walking out the door and I get about a foot from the door, I’m about to put my hand on it and I hear somebody shouting behind me, “Sir, there’s something on me.” She shouted again, “Sir, there’s something on me.” She said, “I don’t know what it is.” God is my witness, I spun around, I said, “The name above Buddha, Islam and the devil,” I said, “It’s Jesus Christ.” When I said the name above every name I watched her double over under the power of God. She began to hyperventilate. It would be hard for a Hollywood actor to depict what was happening to her. You say, “What’d you do next?” I’m glad you asked. I jumped the counter. The sandwich-making dude was like, “You can’t get back here,” but he’s like, “Does anybody want a ham and cheese, I’m getting out of the way.”
