Sid: My guest is red hot for the Messiah his name is Lloyd Phillips. And here he is he has this wonderful healing ministry, but he needs to be healed. He’s one of 66 different people that are written up in the book we’re featuring this week it’s called “Miracles Still Happen.” Inspiring real life stories of God’s supernatural intervention. Now Lloyd what was a matter with your knees?
Lloyd: Actually they had been causing me pain for quite a while and they had been deterioration in the knee cap both of them. I started to get concerned because over time even though I prayed and asked others to pray for me they didn’t seem to be improving, actually they were getting worse.
Sid: But you were in a meeting and 2 woman walk up to you and what did they say?
Lloyd: Well she came up to me and said “Have you got some pain in your legs?” And I said “Yes.” And she got all excited because she actually heard from the Lord and she started to walk away. (Laughing) And I said “Now come back here, what did I share with you when you receive something from God that means you’re being delegated authority so take action on that so you need to pray for me. And I said “I’m going to sit down here” and I asked the pastor who was right next to me and I said “You come pray also.” And I asked her you come pray for my legs. And I didn’t mention my knees but they are connected to the legs so I felt like that was close enough. And she called her friend over and they both also kneeled down there and they each laid their hands on me and began to pray. And as they prayed for my legs and the other sister she got a word of knowledge specifically about the knees. And as soon as she spoke that out and prayed for those knees they became almost like liquid like Jell-O when it’s shaking. And I said “Oh, my goodness, feel this.” And you could see it but you could really feel it by touching the kneecaps.
Sid: Did it hurt?
Lloyd: It didn’t hurt at all. It was exceptionally exciting because here was a situation I had been praying about for years personally. And even though we’d seen other people get healed this was a situation I had for myself. And here was a situation where other people that had received from me information and impartation were able to bring it back and when they prayed I received healing. And I was supernaturally healed that one time and it’s been fine ever since.
Sid: How long ago has that been?
Lloyd: That was in July of ’99.
Sid: Okay, thank you. I have on the telephone David White and his story is in the book we’re featuring this week “Miracles Still Happen.” David is a farmer, I’m tell you something, when I think of the teachings of the Messiah in the New Covenant it was an agricultural society. I believe that anyone in the farming profession can understand and get insights from the word of God better than most people. Well David you were in college and this actually just before you started college, and something minor happened during the summer. Tiny bumps began to develop on the right side of your neck just underneath your jaw and you didn’t think much of it did you?
David: No, not at all.
Sid: Well when did you begin to get a little concerned?
David: I got a little concerned after it wasn’t 2 or 3 of them but it was a lot of them when it got to an inch or two in diameter that’s when I started to worry.
Sid: Now I’ve had cold sores in the past and it’s a mess when I shave. I can imagine that became a mess when you shaved.
David: Oh, yeah. It got to the point that I really couldn’t shave with like a razor, you know like a Track II or something like that. I would use an electric razor because it was able to go over most of them. But at time it would still cut those off too.
Sid: Now did you go to someone, a doctor and get them to remove them, they can do these things today I understand.
David: I went to a doctor he had diagnosed what I had and there was so many of them that it was really kind of a moot point it would have really a whole scabbed area. You know that they weren’t to the point that they were these great big huge warts, they were a small tiny wart about the size of a pen.
Sid: But they got larger.
David: Not really, the area got larger that they were.
Sid: Oh, I see.
David: The wart itself actually was never a large wart.
Sid: Well why didn’t the doctor still scrape them off and it’s done?
David: Because even like when I would shave I would basically take them right off of the surface but they’d come back, within a couple of days they’d come back. But then they would never go beyond that.
Sid: Okay, you start college and you have an interesting roommate, a pastor’s son whose backslidden and one day you’re in the bathroom and he shows up and you say something to him that’s pretty shocking to me even as I read your story.
David: Yeah, we had been talking about the Lord for a few minutes and stuff and I just looked up at him and said “You see these warts on my neck, he says “Yeah, one of these days.” And I said “I don’t know when, but God’s going to heal me of these warts.” And I had my face you know soaped up and everything. And I took the water and I washed the soap off my face and the warts were gone.
Sid: Why did you even say that? What made you say that, I mean you’d been praying and praying and nothing happened. And so why would you say that to a guy that’s backslidden that’s going to be watching you.
David: You know it’s just one of those things you just said it and I don’t know if it was faith or just what but I just said it “One of these days God’s going to take these warts away, God’s going to heal me of them.” And it just happened to be at that moment.
Sid: And what did he say? What’s this backslidden pastor’s son have to say about that?
David: Well you know when the water came off my neck and I felt it I looked up and said “Ray you know these things are gone!” And he looked at me and his mouth dropped open and his eyes got wide and he just you know was kind of speechless. And you know so was I.
Sid: By the way, did he ever come back to the Lord?
David: Yeah, the last that I knew he was in California and that he was serving the Lord.
Sid: Well you’re being a farmer, you must have certain insights that I’d like to glean from you in reference to what the Messiah really meant when He was talking about healing. I mean you must have understood it better than most people. Tell me some insights that you have.
David: We really do sow what we reap. We can’t expect to sew things of the world and expect to get back things of God it doesn’t work that way. And everywhere you look whether it’s Old Testament, New Testament they sewed what they reaped. And people don’t understand that and I would encourage people that if you really want to understand something go plant a garden, plant some seeds, see what happens. You know some seeds you can put in the ground and in 6 to 8 weeks have a little harvest. Other seeds that you put into the ground like I do with winter wheat I’ll put it in in September- October but I won’t harvest that crop until August. So the difference the seeds that we sow have different time lengths until we reap them. In today’s society we are kind of a micro wave society, we want to be able to put it in the microwave and in 10 seconds or 20 seconds and it’s ready. But God doesn’t work that way in his word. And sometimes when you sow it may take a year to two or 10 years, but if you sow it will come back.
Sid: David, you hurt your shoulder in a tractor accident and you’ve been in pain.
David: I had my tractor stuck and it was in the winter and the ground was froze and I had reached down to dig out the front wheel and I went into too far and my body kept going forward but the shovel all of a sudden stopped but my hands didn’t let go of it so I tore my AC joint. And a couple of years went by but it was excruciating, I had to go to the doctor find out what it was. He ended up sticking about a 3 inch needle in between the joint because I had about a ¼ inch gap in the joint. He ended up putting cortisone in there. But I couldn’t sleep on my right side, I had to have a pillow and I slept on my back or my left side only. And I had prayed a number of times a lot of times that God would heal me, but He never did. And it was kind of interesting because in my spirit one night it was like “Why don’t you just thank me.” And so I quit asking because God isn’t hard of hearing and I did just start thanking Him for my healing. And as an end result over a period of oh about 4 or 5 months I just kept thanking Him for it. And all of a sudden I just noticed, wait a minute I’m sleeping on my right side. And to this day I can sleep on my right side and I sleep on my right side most of the time now. It doesn’t hurt, I can use it full motion, I can lift, do the things that I used to do before I did it.
Sid: David, if someone says to you “I don’t think God heals today.” What would you say to them?
David: I’d have to say that He does heal and I’m living proof I’ve had it twice.
Sid: Okay, Mishpochah not only is David living proof but there are 66 different inspiring real life stories of supernatural intervention of God in the lives of people.
