Sid: On yesterday’s broadcast we found out something that should not happen to anyone Dr. Sandra’s Kennedy’s pet dog in an accident literally bit off part of her upper lip. She ran to the hospital that was nearby and the plastic surgeon said she will need a lot of surgeries and even with those surgeries she will always have a cleft lip and she will in fact never be able to smile. And that was the best they could hope for and she said “No.” Her faith rose up within her and she said “Just sew it together and I don’t want any of these surgeries.” She goes home and she’s got in 10 days a healing meeting; people coming from all over the world people having her teach how to be healed in 10 days. Okay, so you get home the next morning it sinks in what you’re dealing with; you get a hold of scriptures and what do you do with these scriptures?
Sandra: I begin to quote them; I begin to quote them and one of the first things I did Sid as I mentioned before was the doctor wanted me to look at a book of pictures of what supposedly I was dealing with; I refused to do it. I came home…
Sid: Excuse me; these pictures were these people after they had surgery what they looked like?
Sandra: Right, right.
Sid: Okay, why didn’t you want to look at it?
Sandra: I didn’t want to get that in my spirit; I did not want to process that in my spirit I did not want to see because the pictures I knew I refused to receive them. I knew what I was going to be looking at basically I did not want to put that in my mind. I did not want to put that in my soulish area I did not and so I refused to do it and I said “I will not look at that book.” And he said “Well, you might as well.” And I said “I won’t and nor will I ever have another surgery.” And I went home and of course the shock, the shock of seeing yourself plus how swollen I was.
Sid: I mean you must have looked I hate to put it this way but you must have looked like a monster.
Sandra: I did, I did and in fact it happened on a Tuesday night on the Sunday I came to church, the men’s choir was singing and a group of men on the stage burst out crying when I came in because it was so horrible looking. But I just refused to let hell put me down you know at that moment. And again I could only speak by taking the microphone and holding it to the side of my mouth and I would talk like this…
Sid: But Sandra why if you have a lot of Assistants that could have taken over everyone would have understood it was a freak accident. Why did you do that?
Sandra: It was a principal; it was making a liar out of my God. It was what I’d been preaching and standing on and if God couldn’t do it for me then He wasn’t going to do it for anyone else from my point of view. Everybody he doesn’t pick favorites and so I preached that God did this and there wasn’t anything too hard for God and I needed a miracle.
Sid: Okay but before you even started speaking you had about 10 days tell me what you did during those 10 days.
Sandra: Alright I went through my house and I called up the church because they had all kind of pictures of me and I said “Give me pictures of me smiling really big.” And I got a whole bunch of pictures and I put them all over the mirrors and all over the walls of my house along with healing scriptures so that everywhere I looked I’d see me with a beautiful smile. And I would put that in and I’d point to it and I would say “I will look that way again; I will look that way again.” Every time I would get in front of a mirror I would point to that lip and I would command it in the name of Jesus; I’d take my finger and I’d touch that lip an I’d command it to reform itself, reshape itself and to grow and to expand itself.
Sid: Now when you commanded it; what were you believing? We’re you believing 2000 years ago, I mean what was going on inside of Sandra when she was commanding?
Sandra: I was believing that it was going to happen then; I think that 2000 years ago at that time I wasn’t processing it even though that is the truth; He did do it for us 2000 years ago. I was processing expecting this move at the sound of His Name at the power of His word based on what He said I expected that lip to reform itself and to grow.
Sid: Now did you have any friends that would come to you and would say “I heard you told the doctor that you didn’t want to have this surgeries I think that you should reconsider.” Did that go on in your life at all?
Sandra: No none told me, matter a fact 3 were with me when I went to the hospital and they heard me tell him that. And I was so dogmatic about it and they just said “We’ll agree with you” is what they said; and I said “Okay, don’t say anything contradictory to me; don’t speak to me about it.”
Sid: Just out of curiosity you’re in a unique situation the people around you understood; what would you say to someone right now that’s in a horrific situation the people around them; their husbands, their wives, their children, their family they don’t understand how can they take such a bold position.
Sandra: Well, for instance these folks were basically my church members but my family did not understand and they suggested I go somewhere and get something done and so I just quite talking to them about it. What I said “If you can’t say something positive, if you can’t agree with me then just don’t say anything.” And I just refused to listen, they started on it and I just walked out and I kept saying “Just wait and see and see what God is going to do.”
Sid: Okay, 10 days pass and I assume that nothing as happened as you can see with your eyes and you got this Healing Explosion thing going on with people coming from all over to get healed. Tell me what it’s going to be seen by the first time when these people that have traveled long distances to sit under your teaching to find out how to be healed.
Sandra: Well, it was a very embarrassing moment because again we’re talking with black cat gut so to speak, I don’t know why he didn’t use a different kind of string, but I’ve got this black cat gut on my face.
Sid: Oh, pulling your mouth together where the hole was okay.
Sandra: Yeah, and pulling my face over; couldn’t talk plain; couldn’t speak there plain. I thought about canceling, to be honest I thought about canceling that healing explosion. Then I thought “How can I do that there are people coming they might not look as bad as I do but they’ve got things in their body that’s terrible a lot worse and many of them eaten up with cancer and many of them crippled and paralyzed and everything else. So I can’t cancel this I have to stand up and show them.” I’ll never forget when I walked down to begin that meeting because it was just horrible to look at. And I mean I remember saying okay take a minute and just look at me and get it over with. And again I’m saying take a minute and look at me that’s how it sounded. And I said “Just look at me I’m going to do this and get over the shock; my God is going to do this for me. And they kind of clapped their hands and got all excited to think I was going to do it you know. And I never will forget in that particular teaching I was teaching “I’m a Whosoever Going After My Whatsoever.” And in between my whatsoever you know it’s a mountain and you’re supposed to speak to the mountain and remove that mountain. And I began to when I got to that place I turned my back on the crowd this was the first part of the miracle that began to happen. I turned my back on the congregation and I said “It’s every man for himself.” And I began to speak and say I command you to move; command you. I began to tell my mountain which was that lip. And I began to tell how big my God was and I didn’t tell my God how big my problem was; I told that mountain how big my God was. And I said “My God is big; my God can do anything and I command this lip to move.” And just about at that moment I felt in my lip a little movement take place, it wasn’t big, it wasn’t a lot, but it was a little.
Sid: Out of curiosity did you “Oh, that was my imagination? Or “Oh that was just a nerve,” or did you say “I know that’s the beginning of my miracle?”
Sandra: Yeah for a second for a split for a split second and then I kind of stopped for a minute and then I kept on saying it because my speech changed.
Sid: I’ll tell you what hold that thought and we’ll pick up here on tomorrow’s broadcast. Briefly what do you mean by proving God it sounds kind of arrogant?
Sandra: Yeah it does as a matter of fact that when the Lord first spoke to me about it I thought “Can a person do this you know?” And then of course I found those scriptures in Isaiah that says “Come on talk to me bring to my remembrance, prove me justify your case and tell me where you standing.” And then I realized that God wants us to believe Him enough to come to Him and say “Hey, this is what You said; this what You said and I heard You and I’m agreeing on your word and I know that You can’t lie and I’m expecting You to do what You said in Your word what You will do.”
