Sid: Well my guest is another Jewish Believer. She’s on staff with Messianic Vision, she’s the Co-Producer of Its Supernatural Television and she is also the Producer of Messianic Vision Radio. Her name, Janie DuVall and I asked her to be my guest today because our experiences are kind of parallel. I mean we both come from Jewish backgrounds and I know for me when I became a believer in the Messiah the Charismatic Movement was going on and Janie became a believer a few years later but the Charismatic Movement was still going on. And for me I didn’t know what it was like to be a believer and not be spirit filled because the two happened all together, so to speak. But Janie how about you?
Janie: Well, when I became a believer for the first few years I didn’t even know that there were churches that were born again because I got saved reading a book on bible prophecy. But I was still very intrigued in miracles into the supernatural and so we would read books on that, my father and I. But then the moment I walked into a church I heard people praying in supernatural languages. So right away I was just absolutely fascinated with that.
Sid: Well, for me I use to spend about an hour a day praying in supernatural languages and had I understood what I understand today, I would have put in about eight hours a day. I know that this sounds ridiculous but with what I know today, I missed it big time by not putting in a lot of hours of praying in supernatural languages. But I’m grateful for the hour a day I put in because I would not be in this ministry today had I not done that. But, Janie did you pray much in supernatural languages back then?
Janie: Well, you know when it first happened to me I was praying hours a day. But just like you as time went on it started getting less and less. So I think there are a lot of other people who have been things have been stolen from them because we haven’t been praying in the spirit more.
Sid: Well, you know when I interviewed Glenn Arekion he gave me some keys and I started studying these keys in the Bible and I don’t know what’s been going on with you because we haven’t conferred but I am once again praying in supernatural languages more than I have done in many, many years. How about you Janie?
Janie: Oh my goodness me too. You can’t just hear those reasons. I mean one reason, he just said was “All things work together for good” but he talked about the scriptures that came before that and it was really about praying in the Spirit and when..
Sid: Well, whoa, let’s just interject right there. I hear it quoted, Roman 8:28 “All things work together for good to those that know the Lord” and so that’s always quoted, however what they leave out is if you’re praying supernatural languages, big difference.
Janie: And I can totally understand that because now when I look back in my life and I see the times that I was praying in the Spirit more and more, I’d have supernatural things happen to me. Seeing an angel and different things and I would get answers to prayer way faster, so you’d think I would have kept on doing it for a long time but, something got side tracked.
Sid: Well I know exactly how it happened with me. When I started speaking and I started Full Gospel Businessmen as a brand new believer. There was the emphasis on the baptism on the Holy Spirit and speaking in supernatural languages. So I would share, I remember this I would share my testimony then, I would give an invitation for people to know the Messiah and then I would go directly to the baptism in the Holy Spirit and then I would pray for the sick. But as my healing ministry increased I had to trim something because the meeting was getting too long and what I trimmed was the baptism in the Holy Spirit. And it’s really diabolical as I look back at it now.
Janie: Well, there’s something going on right now because so many people we’ve been interviewing now for at least the past year, most of them have been saying the key to what’s been going on their life walking in the miraculous, seeing incredible prayers answered, seeing people healed, having supernatural provision. All of them have been saying, seeing angels the key is they all pray in the Spirit.
Sid: Well there was a major key, I mean I knew about Romans 8:28 and a lot of other things that Glen spoke about but I hadn’t heard them in a long time but there was one thing he said which opened up so much to me that I felt we had to spend a whole week to emphasis because this is what the Holy Spirit is doing in my life right now and I know that he is doing it in your life. And in Acts the 6th Chapter, verse 7 & 8 it says that as a result of the apostles’ action this is what happened , the Word of God spread and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem and a great many of the Jewish priest were obedient to the faith. And Steven full of faith and power did great wonderful signs that was normal and somehow we have had normal high jacked out of belief in the Messiah. Now, what did they do and that was Acts Chapter 6: 7 and 8 that caused the Word of God to spread, disciples multiplied, the Jewish Rabbis and Priests were becoming obedient to the faith. They were full of faith and power. What did they do? Well you go back a verse to Acts chapter 6:4 and if you read it in the Greek that was the key, Janie. If you read it in the Greek translation it changes everything.
Janie: Okay, I want to know what it says.
Sid: It says, But we will give ourselves continually to prayer. Now that is not in the Greek. It is in the English translation. But even the English is one you have to question. How can you give yourself continually to prayer, you’ll run out of words in English 24 7. But there must have been a prayer that you could give yourself continually to that caused all these great results and in the Greek translation this is what it literally says, but we will give ourselves continually to “the prayer”. There were different types of prayer but there was one which you were able to pray continually, nonstop and they called it, “the prayer”. And that’s why Paul said in 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 verse 17. I’m going to pray without ceasing and he admonishes us to pray without ceasing. Well Janie, if you did not pray in supernatural languages between you and me is there any way you could pray without ceasing.
Janie: Absolutely not, I would run out of words after a few minutes.
Sid: Especially, since you pray New York style you would run out of it even faster than me. You do it so much faster. Seriously speaking, somehow these first followers of the Messiah, when they went and moved in such awesome power it was because they knew how to pray “the prayer” continuously. I just wish I understood this, and then when I studied the great men and women of God and found the secret to their power, like the great Azusa Street Revival that birth the Pentecostal Movement. It was started by a one eyed uneducated black man by the name of William Seymour and what he used to do, I think it’s so fabulous, is he would put a bag over his head and he would pray in tongues and he wouldn’t remove the bag until God told him what to do. And he would sit there for hours. Could you picture you going to church this Sunday and your Pastor putting a bag over his head?
Janie: They would really think he’s crazy but you know what, there’s something really good now because it use to be if we would pray in the Spirit in our car before cell phones people would just think we were talking to ourselves and we’re crazy. But now we can pray in the Spirit in the car and people just think we are on a cell phone.
Sid: Oh, I do this in the gym all the time. And it’s like double duty but we put together a kit and I’m so excited, because you see, when I was a new believer I use to teach on being baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in unknown tongues. And I don’t know if it was the time I use to teach in but it was easy. Just about everyone, people that never prayed in tongues that were filled, see I believe you can be baptized in the Holy Spirit and never speak in unknown tongues. But if your baptized in the Holy Spirit you have the ability to speak in unknown tongues. Well, people that would go twenty years without speaking in unknown tongues would come to my meetings and they start speaking and I thought what if I try it again? So we used the church that Janie and I go to and we had a meeting and we invited people that would like to speak in supernatural languages they had never done it and we videotaped it professionally and Janie, it exceeded my expectations. You were in the audience. What do you think?
Janie: I was totally amazed. I couldn’t believe how many people went up from young to old, people who had known the Lord for a long time, some who didn’t and people who started praying tongues, who had a block, people who were even thinking I don’t even believe in this stuff. One woman came and didn’t even believe in speaking in tongues ended up going forward, praying in tongues and now tells everybody about it and wanting other people to do it. It was amazing, it was a break though with everyone.
Sid: So we’ve put a kit together which is mandatory for mentoring. If you speak in supernatural languages you’ll probably start speaking in multiple languages when you listen to this and if you don’t you will be able to speak in tongues. But even more important than that, you can just play this DVD and then we have two CDs of amazing people, some are in Heaven already telling the secrets of the supernatural and speaking in tongues. The two CDs and the one DVD is a kit.
