Sid: My guest by way of telephone Jonathan Maracle I’m speaking to him on Ontario, Canada at the Tyendinaga Territory. He is a First Nations Man. On yesterday’s broadcast we found out that he was very popular in the world he wrote songs he sang he performed with such professionals as Peter Frampton and Rick Derringer, and co-wrote a song that was used on a television series “Highway to Heaven.” But he was at a real bottom, he wanted to commit suicide and since his father never stopped praying for him he just cried out “God I need help.” And at that moment even thought his dad hadn’t called him in 2 years hadn’t spoken with him he gets a phone call at that precise moment. And he goes and he visits his dad and long story short he sells out to the Kingdom of God. And your dad was a man that walked in the miraculous. He actually prayed for people that were dead that came back to life. What other miracles you recall your dad telling you about?
Jonathan: My dad told me about this young boy who came to one of his services and my dad was going down the row praying for people. As he came to, this was a healing service I guess, and they were all standing across the front and this young boy was in the crowd of the people standing at the front and when he came to him he looked down at him and the boy looked up at him and he had no color in his eyes it was just white he was totally completely blind from birth. And my dad said when he saw that he said it caught him and he said he had to regain his stance as he was going. He passed the little boy and he prayed on down the line and then he came back to the little boy and God had given him a word for the little boy and he said “Son he said “Tomorrow morning when the sun comes up you’re going to see the sun” and he prayed with him. The little boy went home that night and my father was in evangelistic meetings in the next city the next day and he had packed up and left. In the meeting the next day he was in the service and he was ministering and the back doors of the church swung open in the middle of the service and this young boy ran up and jumped into my father arms and he was completely healed he was fully able to see. And his mom and dad, his mom sat with him that morning she said that they sat on the porch of their house and they faced the east where the sun was going to come up and she said as soon as the sun peaked over the top the boy screamed I can see it, I can see it!” That was just one of many. We have pictures, there’s pictures that my mom my mom has at the house and I believe she has them somewhere put away of 13 different women who had their wombs removed that could not bare children that were desperate and wanted children. My father would pray for them and they would conceive children and so that was one of the.
Sid: Now that was quite a miracle you’re telling me 13 woman that had their wombs removed.
Jonathan: Thirteen woman not all of these woman had their wombs removed but some of them had wombs removed and others were just woman that never ever been able to conceive.
Sid: Hmm.
Jonathan: And they all these 13 were able to conceive.
Sid: Now your father not only prayed for a dead person that came to life a team of horses ran over him and he died what happened?
Jonathan: Well they took him to the hospital and he was pronounced dead by 2 doctors. He was in the morgue and then the nurse came into the morgue I guess was some people locally that were Christians my dad wasn’t a Christian at the time but there was some people locally that were praying for him knowing that this young man had just died and they were praying you know. I don’t know exactly why I just believed the hand of God was so strong on my father because of the things that God had for him to do in his life and so he…there was a nurse a nurse coming down and delivering another body into the morgue and she looked over and she thought she saw my father move and she took her compact out from her purse and she put it underneath his nose and a mist came on the compact and she went out of their running really quick and went up and told the doctor and she had literally stand and convince the doctor that he needed to come back down and check and when they did they saw that he was alive. They brought him out and he actually walked out of the hospital the next day and he read his obituary in the newspaper.
Sid: Jonathan I want to take you back to February 8, 1999 you’re on an airplane and you’re dad is addressing a public group about a dump they wanted to put on your Territory. Members of the Parliament in Canada there and he actually gave a salvation message they gave him a standing ovation and then he died. You didn’t know any of this you’re on the airplane what happened?
Jonathan: Well I’m on the airplane flying into a northern community called Fort Hope to minister to the Ojibway people. My bass player was sitting beside me on the plane and for no reason at all it seemed all of the sudden I was having this supernatural thing take place where I felt as if there was courageousness, boldness, just a feeling of strength and ability to do whatever God wanted me to do. It was like totally it was almost like when you watch television and you see some superhero change that’s what it felt like to me. And I looked at my bass player and I said “I don’t know what’s going on here I said I feel like I’m some kind of hero or something.” And he looked at me like I was absolutely crazy. So I looked at him and I said “If this plane was to crash I wouldn’t be hurt” I said I would be saving the survivors helping the survivors.” And then we went on without me understanding what it was all about we landed we got on the snowmobile and we had to ride by snowmobile on to the village from the landing strip. and I get in there it was like 15 of Ojibway leaders of that community. I was there to minister to them and to encourage them to walk with God in their faith. As I was ministering the phone rang and it was my wife and she told me my father had had a heart attack. I’m thinking to myself that it didn’t bother me really at all because I knew how strong my dad was he was 85 but he had just written his driver’s test and passed it with 100%. Was always out praying for everybody else and he’s drive 500 miles and preach and drive home so I didn’t really have a worry about that I knew that he was going to overcome it. But as soon as I told the group we began to pray for my dad and God gave me a vision that my dad had died and that he was in his cassette and that there was a funeral I saw him in his funeral. And I’m going “No I don’t receive this and I cast it down.” Then we began to pray again and this vision came right back and then the phone rang and my wife said “John your dad’s died.” Well needless…I didn’t understand this at the time but my brothers had told my wife who wasn’t there who didn’t know told my wife that my wife had a heart attack when he actually died because they knew how far away I was and they didn’t want me to be impacted so they wanted to break it to me gently. And so my wife said “He had a heart attack but God showed me he had died.” And then she called back and she said “He had died and it was sometime later before I put 2 and 2 together and realized that at the moment my father died was when I had that supernatural experience on the plane. And every since that time there has been an exponential increase in the anointing and a courageousness and ability to go into places. The prophetic word over our ministry and over myself has been that I am the tip of an arrow and that when the arrow hits it breaks through and it penetrates in the light of the gospel shines from the tip on the other side of the wall where that the enemy has built. Then that Body of Christ is the shaft of that arrow and that arrow is going to be pushed through and it’s going to bring light to those darkened places.
Sid: Speaking about light you have one song on your CD I mean it’s so diverse you have Native American music, you have Hebrew music, tell me about the song “Fly.”
Jonathan: Well “Fly” the eagle is such an important symbol and bird to our people. The eagle represents the Holy Spirit, represents the Spirit that carries the message to the people the Holy Spirit. And our people revered and honored the eagle as a symbol of that. And the eagle also was the bird that would always when every other animal would run away from a storm, men goes to their homes and the bears go to their dens but the eagle he faces the storm and he lights and he flies directly into the storm. And the very winds that would take that eagle and dash it down kill him on the ground are the winds that come up underneath his wings and take him above the storm.
Sid: It’s time for you to go above the storm. It’s time for you to fly!
