SID: I know you’re on the edge of your seat. What did Jesus say is the most supernatural gift that every believer can enter into, but most of his children don’t realize how important it is and don’t do it enough? What did he tell you?
KEVIN: He told me that beyond anything else you could do on this earth, it would be the only thing that he would want you to do is yield to the spirit of God, and that that would bring forth that utterance which they call speaking in tongues. He said, “If you will pray in the spirit and bring out the depths and the mysteries of God out into this realm,” that the spiritual realm would become so close to me that I’d begin to operate in the spiritual realm here on earth.
SID: The council room in heaven. Explain that to me.
KEVIN: I was surprised at how intricate and organized heaven is, and I was really intrigued by God’s order. He has a government. It’s called the Kingdom of God. He has books that are written about every individual person and they are available to the angels that are assigned to each person. Those angels look at those books. They’re briefed. Decisions are made on who would influence of group of people, and those angels go to work in bringing the truth to those people and helping them to get other people involved and walking in the spirit with God.
SID: What you explain to me is that we all have free will, but they work out a strategy in heaven to get you in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing, and it’s got a lot to do with us yielding. How do you understand that?
KEVIN: I found that the most serious asset or liability that we have is our own will. I know that God loves us, but he has to get that across to us. We have to have revelation from the spirit of God, and many people don’t have the revelation of God’s love and his concern for us or his plan for us, but these books are full of pages that Jesus said some of them will never be opened, because people don’t yield to the spirit and they don’t give their will over. There is a walking in the spirit that requires you to hand your life over and carry your own cross, and Jesus wanted everyone to know this, that there is power available, but it’s going to be by you losing and him gaining you.
SID: Is Jesus sad that most believers have all these wonderful, amazing exploits that God has for them, and it’s all written, and he’s doing everything he can to get you to do it, and you’re not doing it. I bet he’s pretty sad over that.
KEVIN: Yes. Even at one point I remember this, he had an individual, I don’t know who it was, but he had them stand in as an example. He reached out his hand and this yellow, beautiful gold substance came out of his hand, and he prayed over the person. It bounced off of them and bounced back onto him and us, and he turned to me and he had tears in his eyes and he said, “See, they won’t let me bless them.”
KEVIN: He said, “You’ve got to teach people to receive from me. I want to bless them.” I want to bless them.
SID: How do we receive from him?
KEVIN: It’s the turning over of your will to the Almighty God. The revelation of Jesus Christ has to do with the fact that he actually stood on a spot … I’ve stood on that spot. I saw that spot he stood on and he created the universe. He is in command. He is not weak. He’s not worried. He’s not concerned. He didn’t even ask me for my opinion on anything the whole time.
SID: Really? Tell me about, and this is so amazing, just a little bit of the revelations that he showed you how powerful prayer is.
KEVIN: Instantly he said, “I’m going to show you how powerful your prayers are, Kevin,” and he took me and we went to a place in the United States that I recognized as New Mexico, and I was standing on this mountain right above the missile range out there, the test facility. I recognized it, because I fly over it a lot. As we were standing there, he said, “Start praying, Kevin, in the spirit.”
KEVIN: I yielded and started praying in the spirit, and as I did, he pointed and he said, “Now watch.”
KEVIN: And I saw the explosion. It looked like the atomic bomb detonation that had gone off in the forties. It started to explode and this big plume went straight up into the air and it was all red and powerful, and the Lord said, “Most Christians are looking for the spectacular. They look at this cloud, but the supernatural is the shock wave that’s traveling along the ground.”
KEVIN: I saw this shock wave go out about thirty miles, and it was knocking everything over, and he said, “See, Kevin, when you pray, your prayers are effective, and it’s moving mountains out of the way and you should never give up. You should always pray.”
SID: Why do people give up so easily?
KEVIN: I realize that people were looking for a sign of some sort, a manifestation that it was working. I, also, knew that there was demonic activity that would stop people from praying. They would actually feel depressed and it wouldn’t even be them. They would have chemical imbalances in their body, but it was from the outside, and they were being influenced to think that there was a problem and they would stop praying. There were things that would happen that would stop them from praying, and the Lord said, “You should never give up praying, because you will get your answer.”
SID: Probably, to me anyway, one of the most exciting things that Kevin came back with is what the Bible says, “You shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Most believers haven’t received this fire. Do you realize that when you have this fire the devil can’t come near you.
KEVIN: Amen.
SID: He’s afraid of you. Is there anyone, anyone that wants this fire?
KEVIN: Amen.
SID: We’ll be right back.
