SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Theresa Griffith Hurlbert, and I am amazed at the gifting that God has given you. She plays twelve flutes, different types, this is one right here that she is going to play over me and she says that it is like, not her, that after you got recovered from the big mess you were involved in physically, emotionally, everything, you said to me you wanted to go into a studio without any music, that’s a scary proposition.
THERESA: Very scary.
SID: No rehearsal.
THERESA: No… you don’t know your first note, you don’t know your second note or any notes after that. You know what key your are in, but you jump off the cliff, this is the way I describe, you can’t look over the cliff or you will be too afraid to jump, so I jump off without looking and then when I do I feel like I am free floating in the air and it is just totally addictive, highest high I have ever had.
SID: But you have to have had a lot of trepidation the first time, is God going to show up?
THERESA: I sure did, absolutely, the first CD every song I was concerned, oh that was a beautiful song but will He come back, you know, and then after the whole CD was finished I was hooked, I will never you know, have to do a song that is prepared again because the beauty of the pianist and myself playing the same thing at the same time, how could she know where I was going, how did we do exactly the same thing at the same time, just so miraculous.
SID: Now a representative of the top echelon of, I guess it’s called the National Flute Association, was remarking on one of your techniques, explain.
THERESA: It’s called the double-tonguing technique, I was last year fluting every band I was ever in, I use that to encourage people in their destiny, and I just knew that God is the expert in everything, every field in the world and so I asked Him to download to me how to play the flute, He gave me dreams, visions, and I began to practice what He told me to do and it sounded good to me but I didn’t realized it was anything special until she told me that it was one of the fastest in the world, she said it is faster than Jean Parron or James Galway, and I was amazed, I had no idea.
SID: I have to believe that angels are ministering to you so to speak as you blow your flute, and play your flute, have you ever seen angels?
THERESA: I have seen them and felt them, I was in Australia one time and had just gone through a very painful experience and my body was breaking down again, my face was blistered, on both sides and I was so weak I just gripped the microphone and I closed my eyes and is said God, all I can do is just open my mouth and pray and sing to you, and as I did I opened my eyes and in this empty, black balcony were like 24 or so angels, and I heard the Lord speak to me in an Irish accent at that moment and say, “We got you covered.” Because I am Irish and Scottish so he’s very humorous sometimes you know.
SID: And tell me what you saw again, this sounds wonderful to me.
THERESA: Well I saw beings of light in the balcony and I saw them for a moment and then they were gone, and it was in that moment that God spoke to me and said got you covered you know. And I have heard of other people seeing these beams of light you know before, but I had never seen them. I had been touched where an angel will grip my arm and I’ll think well my sleeve is too tight and then I’ll look and there is no sleeve.
SID: What are some of the conditions people are being healed of?
THERESA: Well sometimes when people come up to sit in the seat of honor I’ll get a message about them, but I won’t understand what the message is, only they understand so one time I said to a young man, “I feel that you are going to have a spiritual, the ability to hear in the spirit realm,” well little did I know that he had ringing in the ears for ten years and it stopped right then, another lady I said that God has given you spiritual sight, you may have new sight, and the whole audience went AHHHHHHH – all her friends, and I’m going wow, what did that mean? Well she had a tumor behind the eye and it disappeared at that moment, she was going to have to have surgery. We have had people get up out of wheel chairs and run. Back problems, cancer, chronic fatigue, all kinds of things.
SID: Schools are actually using your music; explain.
THERESA: Yes, public schools in the special education department are using it for nap time and reading time for autism, ADD, ADHD, and mother’s are telling me that their children are choosing the music to go to sleep with at night because it is the only thing that brings them peace.
SID: How about people with just plain insomnia?
THERESA: Lot of letters we are getting about insomnia, people are saying that even the pain that affects the sleep you know, like fibromyalgia, it reduces the pain and helps them sleep for the first time and it even lowers the heart rate and the blood pressure.
SID: Now you told me that you felt you really needed help, with all the instruments you bring, with all that you put out, you need a helpmate, and what happened?
THERESA: Well, I actually was crashing a year ago and I said to God I can’t go on and do this by myself anymore, I have to have a helpmate, I have to have someone that is suitable for me, that will help me and he said I agree with you, and he said I want you to make a list of what you’d like, and I was so super-spiritual, I said I’ve never wanted to do that and he said I want you to do that because I want to show off for you and not only for you but it will bring hope to everyone who hears this story. So he said I don’t want you to stop with just spiritual things either, so I wrote a list of forty things and some of those that, you know, the spiritual things he needs to be prophetic and a musician, even someone who can act because we will be doing movies together and someone who can speak poetic love talk to me everyday, to heal the wounds from the past, and I even said I want a gourmet health food cook and…
SID: Now you are not making it easy on God, are you?
THERESA: No.
SID: Even the age.
THERESA: I said 39, because I wanted him to be able to redeem my prime that I thought was robbed from me; and this ministry is so difficult he better be 39 or he is not going to make it.
SID: Okay we are going to find out how God answered that prayer and Theresa is going to play her flute over me, don’t go away we’ll be right back after this word.
