SID: Okay, Stephanie, you said there is great importance on what the world calls pizza dreams or crazy dreams. Tell me why.
STEPHANIE: Well, many times people will write off their dreams immediately ’cause they’ll say, “Well, that was just too crazy. It couldn’t mean anything and God’s not talking to me. God wouldn’t say that to me.” But many times I believe that He allows a dream to attach to an emotion that we have, and an emotion can be fear, even. There’s a Scripture in Job that talks about, “I will wake you in the night with terrors of the night,” but the Lord will allow us to experience an emotion when we have a dream that will help us to remember a dream. There’s many times I would not remember my dream if it wasn’t attached to something, either a startling thing happening or fear or even weeping or even laughter. I’ve had several dreams that make me laugh and that the Lord allows that so we’ll remember.
SID: You had a dream about some cows.
STEPHANIE: Right.
SID: Tell me about that.
STEPHANIE: Okay. I had this dream one night that I was going very quickly down a river. It was a fast-moving stream. It had banks on either side. It was going way fast. I was swimming as fast as I could with the current. I was going downhill with this. I kept thinking, “I’m swimming away from something.” As I’m doing this, I get to a place where I can turn around and look and I realize there’s a cow behind me.” I thought, “Oh my goodness”-
SID: That’s the crazy dream.
STEPHANIE: That’s a crazy dream. Well, this alerts everything in my brain to think, “I need to get away from this cow.” I’m going faster and faster, but then I turn around again and I look and he’s laughing. He was about a one-year-old calf laughing. I’m going as fast as I can and I’m thinking, “He’s laughing,” but then all of a sudden, laughter overtakes me because I’m thinking, “This is the funniest situation I’ve ever been in in my life.” I’m still trying to get away from him because I’m thinking he’ll crush me. I get to a place where it’s a little bit still in the stream and I jump out on the bank. I get out on the bank and then I go up the bank a little bit and then I jump over a fence and I turn around thinking, “Okay, now I’m safe.” But no, the cow not only had gotten out of the water the same place, here he comes and he jumps over the fence behind me, and he’s still laughing.
SID: This is getting crazier and crazier.
STEPHANIE: But immediately in my spirit, I heard “cash cow.” I woke up to that thinking, “Oh my goodness, I have a cash cow,” which to me represented- I didn’t use that in my vernacular. I knew it came from God because I don’t say “cash cow.” I didn’t use that terminology at that time. But what that did in my life is it made me so confident about the provision of Heaven. We as the church need to get to be the very best at understanding our dreams and visions, things in the night hour, because the Lord said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will dream dreams. Your old men”– He reverses that at another time. We will have visions. If that’s going to be happening, I want to be the very best. I don’t want anybody on my watch going to a psychic or somebody else to get their dream interpreted. I want to be the church that says, “I know what your dream means.”
SID: Why would you want that cheap counterfeit when you could go to God Himself and get your dream?
STEPHANIE: Yes.
SID: You talk about writing down dreams.
STEPHANIE: Yes.
SID: Why is that so important?
STEPHANIE: Well, the details of a dream will just fly out of your memory. It’s quite shocking. It’s almost like manna from Heaven. Remember how manna from Heaven just disappeared? It’s almost the same with a dream. It just disappears. God has been so merciful to me because one time I did have a dream that I knew was from the Lord and I got up and got into the emergency of my day and forgot the dream completely. That day I repented before the Lord. I said, “Lord, please forgive me. I did not write down that dream and I know you had a message.” You know what? I dreamed the exact same dream again that night. It was so merciful of the Lord. I felt so good.
STEPHANIE: One other thing that I am really working on getting better at right now, too, ’cause I only sleep four or five hours a night anyway, is when I wake up with a dream I will just rehearse that dream over and over. Sometimes I can really retain that dream. I’m just working to get better at it. We’re practicing. We’re all practicing. That’s what we as the church need to know, that we can practice these things and learn to get better and help each other get better at this.
SID: Now, what about someone that says, “I never dream” or “I never remember my dreams?” You’re going to be shocked when she says, “Have I got a word for you from God.” We’ll be right back.
BILL: All right. And what did He do for you?
WOMAN #7: It’s not for me. I was the one that asked if I could in the session. I have a very good friend who has very bad bladder cancer and she spent a month at Mass General and she’s home now for a couple of weeks and then she’s goes back for another month of treatment. And I prayed, you know I stood in the session for her, and the two sweet young boys right over there, 14, prayed, and also Barbara next to me. I felt a heat just pouring in my body. So I feel that’s for her.
BILL: All right. All right! All right.
WOMAN #7: I praise God for it.
BILL: Amen to that! Amen.
AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]
BILL: One more. What did Jesus do?
MAN #2: 20% loss of hearing in my right ear and it’s open now! Plus my back and all my neck and all down here. God’s just done a good job!
BILL: Yeah! Thank You, Jesus! That’s wonderful! Just give thanks to the Lord. Come on! Thank You, Lord!
AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]
SID: A wise man once said people look for the spectacular and miss the supernatural. Let me repeat that. People look for the spectacular and miss the supernatural! This is what I know. I know that a seed, a good seed was just planted in everyone at home and everyone here!
AUDIENCE: Yes!
SID: And I know that if the miracle did not manifest as long as you do not dig out that seed, do not say I didn’t feel what some of those other people felt, that seed will grow! And if you keep watering it with the Word of God, every time you take communion, you should do it at least, I don’t know, how often do you take your medicine? Three times a day? Do communion three times a day! And by the way there’s a particular prescription in the Bible that we don’t even need Medicare for. It says “a merry heart is good medicine!”
AUDIENCE: That’s right! Amen! It is!
SID: So laugh every day!
AUDIENCE: Yes! [laughing]
SID: Laugh! And if you want to find out who to laugh at it’s the devil! Laugh at the devil every day!
AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]
SID: We’re coming into such a time of a manifestation of miracles that I know people will be coming in this studio, whether they’re in wheelchairs, whether there’s a missing limb, I mean this is all going to be normal very, very soon! So why not contend for normal right now?
AUDIENCE: That’s right! Yes!
SID: Right now!
AUDIENCE: Amen!
SID: In Yeshua’s name! Amen!
AUDIENCE: Amen! [APPLAUSE]
BECKY: You can believe in Jesus as your savior without believing in him as your healer. You need to learn how to believe him as your source for your healing. Just like you believed in him for your redemption, for your salvation. So that you could have eternal life. And some people out there, and I know you’ve heard this. Well, let’s talk about it. Some people, many Christians, I’ll say many Christians believe that healing is not for today. We’ll be healed when we’re in heaven. And I say, “no, you’re wrong. There is no sickness and disease in heaven to be healed from. The enemy is not allowed there. We’ve got to get our thinking straight. We’ve got to get back to the Bible; believe in the basic simple gospel. That Jesus is for us, he’s not against us, and he gave everything he had, so that we could be healed and made whole, in Spirit, soul, and in body. Amen? You say, well, “sister so-in-so, or brother so-in-so, or a good friend, or whatever, whoever. I know they were believing, and they were standing on the Word. Let me teach you some things. You know for one, we’ve all lost someone. Right? You know, we can’t undo the past, but we can start moving forward in the revelation knowledge of the truth about healing. He wants that. He desires that. You say, “Well, why did they die?” There are a couple main reasons why people die in these situations. One, they’re not taught about healing. They don’t have the true revelation about healing. To other areas that really stand in the way of some on being healed, is the power of the spoken Word. I teach people this way. If you say that you’re just a poor man, and you continue to say, “I’m just a poor man.” Do you know what you’re going to be? A poor man. The Bible teaches us; Proverbs 18:21. There’s the power of life and death in your tongue. Whatever you say is eventually going to produce. And what your living in today, is because of Words spoken. And you say, “Well, I’m only joking.” Well learn to joke in a way that doesn’t curse yourself. Whatever, your speaking is producing. The Lord really deals with me on this one. It’s what I do, right? It’s my calling. And I get into all these situations with people. And it’s like, they say, “Well, we’re believing, we’re believing. Okay, are you taking the steps? Because not only do your Words have to be right, filled with life, and healing, and strength. All of those things on a constant basis, I know what I am talking about. Our young son, he’s now 14. He’s our adopted son, and we received him when he was 1 day old. When he was 1 month old, he died from sudden infant death syndrome. I know what I’m talking about. I put this into practice. We raised him from the dead because his heart and his lungs were pumping dry, and they built up so much pressure on the inside of him. They didn’t just stop, they exploded; and exploded into little pieces and they came up out, out of his nose with his blood. And he had been pronounced dead. We also had to believe that for a recreated heart. Because his heart, there’s no way he could survive, even though we raised him back from the dead. This all happened in a hospital. This is true. And I wasn’t even there when I raised him from the dead. I was praying in my room, in the Spirit; in the Holy Spirit. And God said, “Now!”
AUDIENCE: [claps]
BECKY: And I didn’t know that he had been pronounced dead even. He spoke to me in an audible voice, and He said, “Now, Becky! Now you come against the Spirit of death over Marcos now!” I didn’t question it, I just immediately heard myself say because I had been praying in the Spirit. And I said, “I renounce this Spirit of death.” See, I’m teaching you that again. I renounced the Spirit of death. I release the Spirit of life into Marcos now.” And then God spoke to me audibly, and He said, “Now, Becky.” Do you hear how He kept saying, “Now, now, now?” He said, “Now Becky, speak to Marcos’ spirit directly.” Now no one had ever taught me that. It was something I learned when He was teaching me about how to walk in healing. And so I heard myself, I didn’t question it. And I never practiced it before. It was just like it came out of my mouth because I was praying in the power of the Holy Spirit. And I said, “Marcos.” Now, he’s dead. Nobody’s working on him anymore. It’s the most, impossible situation. It would be one thing to revive him, but his heart and his lungs had been exploded, and they’re coming up out of him.
DONNA: What does that mean? That He wants to change their situation!
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: He came to heal the brokenhearted;
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: He came to set the captives free.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: Not just be concerned about them, but CLAPS HANDS do something about their situation. And in order to do that, He had to have that mantle that anointing.
LARRY: Yeah; yeah.
DONNA: and that’s what we covet.
LARRY: That’s awesome. Well in the next segment, we’re actually going to talk about the difference between spiritual authority, and anointing, and how you can actually cultivate a lifestyle of the anointing being SATURATED in the presence of God and then ACTIVATING the AUTHORITY that Jesus has already given you. I am just so excited, because again what Donna is sharing, these are things that she gleaned from her dad, R.W. Schambach. And she was mentioning T.L. T.L. Osborn; I start thinking.[PHOTO BEGINS] of people like Kathryn Kuhlman, and that great ERA of healing evangelists. And you know what? The wonderful thing is. [PHOTO ENDS] that they were wonderful people, and we look up to them; but I believe so much of their lives, and so much of what they learned, is transferrable to you, and to me. And they actually set an example for us of how for us o-our lives today, to be SATURATED in the presence of God, and operate in that same spiritual authority that Jesus has given us. So d- w-we’ll see you when we get back, and we will learn about how to actually start FLOWING in these things, in the anointing and authority.
[MUSIC]: WILL BE BACK AFTER THIS
[MUSIC] BACK TO SOMETHING MORE
LARRY: Welcome back to Something More. CLAPS I am here with Donna Schambach, who is the daughter of evangelist R.W. Schambach. We were just talking about cultivating a lifestyle and an atmosphere of the anointing, and here’s the interesting thing: The reality is, as you walk through life whether you’re going into work every day or going to the gym, I believe the Lord wants to use you to shift the atmosphere where you go, because the superior presence of God lives inside of you. Just think about that for a moment. Yeah. yeah, there’s a lot of spiritual static around you; yes, there are principalities and powers, and demons and forces and all those things; but the reality is, Greater is He who is living inside of you than he who is in this world. And in order for you to cultivate a lifestyle where you actually see the atmosphere change around you, you need to know how in your OWN life to cultivate a lifestyle, being soaked and saturated in the anointing. So Donna, just from what you have learned from your father, I mean because you were you really called yourself an apprentice.
DONNA: Absolutely.
LARRY: or student of the anointing. More than even just being a student of your father, you’re seeing the anointing of God rest upon him with power. What were some of the things that he did in his life to create that environment around him, and how are these transferrable to just everyday people like us?
DONNA: Well, I would say number one, he was a man of the Word.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: You know every time he opened his mouth, it was The Bible says, so that Word became the authority that he knew. You know, Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world; how many times did he say that.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: He talked about the violent taking things by force, laying hold of the Kingdom of God.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: and so his confession was very strong. But unless we have the Word on the inside of us, unless we’re spending time in the Word, we’re not going to know it; it’s not going to speak to our need, and the Holy Spirit doesn’t really have anything to work with.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: We’ve got to have that grounding in the Word.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: The other thing, though, that I’ve observed in him, that I see rare in in preachers, to be honest with you and that I covet in my own life he had what I call the emotion of the Holy Spirit.
LARRY: Mm!
DONNA: and that’s compassion.
LARRY: Yeah.
And so then after I became a believer in the Messiah I wanted that supernatural language. So I went to a meeting and someone prayed for me, and they said, well speak in that supernatural language. And I, you know, no one told me that maybe I can’t. I’m glad I didn’t know anything. I was almost like a little child. You know, that’s the way you’re supposed to be. And I started speaking in a supernatural language. But then immediately a little voice in my head said, you’re making it up. Now none of you ever had that problem. Well that little voice I’m sure is talking to many people. And so I stopped. I mean, I love God. I don’t want to make something up. And one day I was with a rabbi that received Jesus, an orthodox rabbi, and he began, he said, he called me over because I had met him before. He said, “Sid, come over here. This woman wants prayer.” This woman was pregnant and the doctor said had a stillborn baby. Now I’m a brand new believer. You’re asking me to pray for a dead person to come back to life? I didn’t know what to pray. And so all of a sudden I started praying in my supernatural language that I doubted was really from God. And after we finished praying she left. And the rabbi said to me, “Sid, where did you learn that ancient form of Aramaic?” I barely speak Hebrew. I did my Bar Mitzvah in Hebrew. And when he said that he not only said it was an ancient form of Aramaic, he told me what I was praying, because he knew that language. And he said, “You prayed that the child, the Spirit of the child is with God the Father and be at rest.” I said that. Now no way I could have said that with my mind. And after that point I never doubted that that language was real. You see, when you pray in supernatural languages, you do what I did, a mind bypass, which means you’re not dropping down, not from your mind, you’re dropping down to your Spirit. And you’re not praying from your mind, you’re praying from, your Spirit. Now since your mind doesn’t know what you’re doing, your mind will argue with you. So you say, mind, be still. I’m putting my Spirit in charge. And so when you pray in that supernatural language there is no doubt, none. None whatsoever. You’re praying with perfect faith. How would you like every prayer you pray with, not 99.9 percent, because that doesn’t span in the faith arena; 100 percent, pure faith every time you pray in that supernatural language. And not only is it 100 percent; see, you’re dealing with the tip of the iceberg when you see someone with a problem. Ninety-five percent of that iceberg you can’t see with the natural eye. That’s true today. You’re making decisions, you’re praying for people on that little bit of the iceberg, the tip that you see, but the action is in the invisible world. What if the Holy Spirit knew everything that would make things right. You don’t know that, but God knows that, and you could pray by the Holy Spirit, perfect prayers, in perfect faith. Do you realize what a weapon that is? Do you realize why someone doesn’t want you to do this? Do you realize why the church, and I hate to say this, even where they believe in tongues has demoted it to the back of the church, and in some churches out of the church? Well it is controversial, yes. It drives the devil crazy.
Audience: (claps)
SID: Of course it’s controversial. Let me tell you something. By the time I finish teaching you. While I’m teaching, some of you are, not be able to stop praying tongues. It’s going to break out within you. But when I come back I’m going to tell you what you’re doing when you’re praying in tongues. And I can tell you this, I’m back. Do you know what I mean by I’m back? It’s not that I’m backslidden. I’ve never been backslidden, and praise God, because of His mercy. I’ve never been backslidden since I’ve been a believer. But I’m back. Here’s how I’m back. I used to pray one hour a day, in the early days in my walk with the Lord. And then I got too busy. Because I didn’t even realize the magnitude of what I was doing. But I’m back. I’m back. I’m praying, one hour a day. And I’ll be right back. How would you like all, get that, A-L-L, all things to work together for good in your life? Well God says that.
