SID: So you are being blessed. You didn’t know it at the time and she is being blessed, but that was a step by the way of radical obedience. But this next step, tell me about the pulpit’s story.
ROB: Oh my goodness. I’ll never forget this. I was young and I kept declaring to God, I want to be used mightily. I want to be used mightily. I want to be used. I’ll be faithful. I’ll be obedient. Until God puts you in a circumstance that makes you uncomfortable, sometimes your level of obedience changes. And I’ll never forget. I’m in the state of Washington ministering at this Samoan church. Boy, and I’ll never forget. The Lord said these words. I was preaching and he said, prophesy that the pulpit is teetering and it’s falling. And he said, throw it down right now. And I said, Lord, I can’t do that.
ROB: People will look at me like I’m crazy. And I remember Sid, hearing the Holy Spirit challenged me to do it. And I simply said, I’m afraid, and I can’t. And so I remember going into my room, weeping and crying and praying saying, God, give me another chance. He said, Rob, you can’t fear men. You’ve got to fear me. And so the next day where I’m ministering and the power of God falls, and I grabbed hold of that pulpit and the Lord says prophesy. And I grabbed this pulpit and I began to violently shake it. The pulpit is teetering. The pulpit is teetering. The pulpit is teetering. And it now lies flat as a dead man. When I threw down the pulpit, it’s plexiglass, the head of the pulpit pops off. And at that very moment, you think I’m done. I now reach and I grab a pitcher of water and I began to splash it all over the altar and all over the pulpit.
ROB: And I began to prophesy, and I said, the spirit of the Lord is bringing a refreshing. This altar, the river of God is going to flow. I’m bringing healing to this land. There will be a rising of a new man. And I’m bringing for change into this house. I pour this water all over. I splash people in the front row. The whole pulpit is soaked and so is the altar. And at the end of the service, of course, they had a little meeting and I was invited. And so the pastor said these words. He said, how do I know this is God? Just then one of his older elders came to him and said, pastor, can I have a word with you? And he says, yes. And he invites them in. And this elder says, man of God, when you threw down the pulpit, he said, I was going to go run and tackle you and tell you, this is not God, and drag you out. He said, but God opened my eyes.
ROB: He said, I saw chains falling off our church. He said, I saw spirits and strongholds that have held us stuck in bondage, being broken. I saw unclean things leaving and I saw the presence of God shine when you splashed the water. And he says, this pastor, is a word of God. I saw it. And right then right there, they received the word. We prayed. Not only did the power and the spirit of revival breakout, the meetings get extended. And that chains and bondages were removed, and the power of God was being demonstrated.
