00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,240
at a certain point, a friend of mine said, you're starting to get a reputation as a prophet on

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,040
Facebook. You should call some churches in the area and you should tell them that you're a prophet

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:13,200
and that's how the Lord, maybe that's how the Lord's going to start your ministry.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,320
And I thought about it for a while. I was like, well, I know one minister that started that way

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,960
and the Lord said, it would be better for you to humble yourself and I promote you at the right

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:34,000
time than for you to promote yourself and I have to humble you.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,880
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out his spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring,

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360
where we contend for that promise outpouring, we equip for that outpouring,

9
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,440
so that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm Philip Buss.

10
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,480
And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast today. We have with us a very special guest,

11
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,600
Jeff Simons of Kingdom Awakening. And we're going to have a wonderful time talking about the things

12
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,240
that he is doing in contending for the outpouring and equipping for the outpouring and engaging in

13
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:17,920
it. Welcome to the podcast today. We're so glad that you're with us. But before we get started,

18
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,760
We've had some really wonderful feedback and we're grateful to each and everyone who has

21
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,440
life. So today we have with us Jeff Simons. And Jeff, thank you so much for joining us.

22
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,800
Jeff Simons Thanks for having me.

23
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:13,520
Sharon Buss Before we go too deep into what you're doing now, can you tell us a little bit about

24
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,520
what your upbringing was and how the Lord got ahold of you?

25
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:24,800
Jeff Simons Sure. So, growing up, I was raised in a Methodist home and in my teenage years,

26
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:32,560
I stepped away from the faith entirely, considered myself agnostic, and had a time where I was on

27
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,240
drugs and then off of drugs. And I was really just kind of frustrated. I got to that low point of,

28
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:46,960
God, if you're real, like, I want to know, I want to know the real thing. But I don't want to just

29
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,160
do religion. So I started to pray. And it was the first time I could really remember praying,

30
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,960
God, if you're real, I want to see it. The stuff in the Bible is incredible. I want to see it. I

31
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,480
want to be there. I want to do the stuff that's in the Bible. Fast forward about six months,

32
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:11,120
and I was at a conference where Bill Johnson and Heidi Baker were ministering and started having

33
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,320
open visions while I was there. By this point, I had surrendered my heart to the Lord, but was

34
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:23,120
still struggling with that belief. So, I'm having open visions and I'm closing my eyes. I still see

35
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,360
him. I open them. I still see him. And I had never seen anything of the Spirit before. There's people

36
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,760
that gold dust is appearing on people. I'm trying to like wrap my head around it all.

37
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,280
And I've never heard somebody speak in tongues. And I now know what they were doing was a fire

38
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,360
tunnel. And I'm going down this fire tunnel and I don't know what's happening. And, you know,

39
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,800
people are doing all kinds of different things and they're drunk in the Spirit, which I didn't

40
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,120
know what that was either. I just knew that when I went through this line, I got through it. I'm

41
00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:00,080
like, I feel drunk, but not in a bad way. I'm going to do that again. So, I went back for another

42
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,720
drink. And the second time through, I think it was Heidi that was at the end. I closed my eyes. I was

43
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,480
just focusing on God. And whoever it was at the end laid hands on me and I fell out and I couldn't

44
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,200
control myself. I'm speaking in tongues. And my brain is going, you can't, you don't know what

45
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:27,040
you're saying. And I could not physically stop my mouth from speaking in tongues. Yeah. So,

46
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,160
that's how it happened for me. And then during that conference, and I kind of mixed up the order as to

47
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,920
which that was at the end of the conference. I had two significant encounters that happened

48
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,600
prior to that. There was one night in particular where I went home and I was just worshiping.

49
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,360
And I was sitting on the mantle by the fireplace, just closing my eyes and worship. And then next

50
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,200
thing I know, I'm not by the fireplace anymore, I'm in heaven. And there's this light that's over

51
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,520
my head and I'm looking at it and it's like a shower. This light, liquid light is just raining

52
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,840
on me and I'm just laughing and laughing and laughing. And the substance was joy. It was like,

53
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:12,080
you could fill up a glass of joy and just drink it. And it occurs to me, I don't know how I got

54
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,000
here, but this is clearly heaven. If this is heaven, where's Jesus? And as soon as I thought,

55
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,720
where's Jesus? I'm in a different room and I'll see this long dinner table and I see Jesus at the

56
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,200
end and John and Paul and I knew all their names and more than anything else that I've ever wanted

57
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:37,600
in life. Like if you could imagine all of your desires balled up together, I was just craving.

58
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,680
I just want to sit close to Jesus. More than anything else, I just want to be close to Jesus.

59
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,440
I need to ask the Father, you know, that I could sit close to Jesus. And as soon as I thought it,

60
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,280
I was in the throne room and I was not looking around. I was kneeling, I was face down. It was

61
00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:00,880
a holy fear that was just in the atmosphere, not demonic fear, just a fear of you don't do just

62
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,960
whatever you think or whatever you want in this environment. And I asked God for it. And then after

63
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,560
I did, I could kind of feel myself coming back down to my body. I don't really know if my body

64
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,840
was with me or not. I came back and I was in my house in a different room. And I was saying,

65
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:26,160
I was just saying the name Jesus over and over and over. Jesus, and for about five or six days,

66
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,000
I could hear the Lord like I could hear a person. So, I would knew all kinds of stuff and I was

67
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,640
having visions and hearing the Lord with clarity. And when all the encounters stopped, I was praying

68
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,480
one day and I was praying for power. I'm like, God, I want more power. I want more power because

69
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,280
I'd never experienced the power of God until this moment. And the Holy Spirit said, pray for

70
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,440
character. And in my immaturity, I said, I don't want character, I want power.

71
00:06:53,440 --> 00:07:02,320
Marshall, just being honest with where I was at and the Holy Spirit just kept putting this pressure.

72
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,880
It was almost like the way I describe it is, it was like in the spirit, somebody was placing

73
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,400
boulders on me of you have got to pray for character. And he actually mentioned a certain

74
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,760
minister who said, you don't want to end up like him. You have to pray for character. Finally,

75
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,920
I said, fine. I pray that I would only have as much power as my character can handle.

76
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,600
Wow, that's a good prayer.

77
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,800
A great prayer. Next day, all of the encounters stopped.

78
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,560
Yeah, but I knew that it wasn't that God was withholding something from me. He gave me a

79
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:44,880
taste of something I was meant to mature into. So, that was the beginning of my walk back 16

80
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,520
years ago now.

81
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:52,400
Wow. So, you began to pray for character, then what did the Lord do?

82
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Gave me a whole bunch of trials.

83
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,160
You know, it's kind of important to really be honest about the journey.

84
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Yeah. I mean, we had a whole bunch of crazy things happen where I had people following

85
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:15,600
me at one point. I had just a lot of different experiences over time. It kept feeling like I'd

86
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,600
grow in a certain capacity in ministry and then I'd encounter more trials in that same area.

87
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,880
And I realized it was just this refinement process that we all have to lean into when

88
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,800
it comes to growing in the Lord. When we think we understand something, then subjecting ourselves

89
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,960
to the Lord and to other authority and being willing to receive correction in the process,

90
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,240
and that's how we grow.

91
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:48,320
It is. It absolutely is. We've been doing a number of podcasts about the importance of overcoming

92
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,600
the flesh by the Spirit, you know, learning to walk in the Spirit so you don't fulfill the desires

93
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,280
of the flesh. You know, we hammer on that a whole lot. So, it sounds like that's exactly what God

94
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,080
was doing with you.

95
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,360
Yeah. And I can't say that I've arrived at the place where,

96
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,840
aha, you know, I never have to deal with the flesh. You know, there's times where you fast

97
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,800
and you suppress it again or even as something that we mentioned briefly before of waiting on

98
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:21,680
the Lord. That's something that that process of being still in His presence, for me anyway,

99
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:27,280
it's a denial of the flesh. Your flesh wants always to do something. We tend to think of flesh in

100
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:35,200
terms of sexual immorality or something along those lines of alcohol, I don't know, things like that,

101
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:41,600
but it's not always that. Sometimes it's just activity. And that process of being still,

102
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:48,000
it's where the flesh finally starts to subside. And how long it takes depends on where you're

103
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,160
at in the flesh. If you've been fasting, it may take only a few minutes and you get still.

104
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,880
Yeah.

105
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,960
And if not, you could spend a whole day just waiting in His presence, which isn't bad. It just

106
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,800
there's that denial of self and letting the voice of the flesh get out of the way so that we can

107
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,560
really focus on what the Lord is saying.

108
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:11,440
Oh, that's so true. And to be honest, we're not very, I shouldn't say we're not very far,

109
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:17,600
but we're not there in terms of, we've gone through a lot of maturing process. We've lived

110
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:25,600
quite a lot more years than you have, but it's still a matter of making those choices every day

111
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:32,480
and many times a day. You just have to roll it back and say, wait a minute, flesh, uh-uh,

112
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,200
we're not going there. We're going to submit to the Holy Spirit.

113
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,440
One thing that has helped me, and I know it's the Holy Spirit that just did it. It wasn't that I

114
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,200
thought about it or learned to do it, but the Holy Spirit started doing it in me, that when I would

115
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:54,000
get some kind of accusation thoughts or thoughts that have no fruit, thoughts that are not from

116
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,960
the Spirit, thoughts that are just fleshly, not like thoughts necessarily, but like self-accusation

117
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:07,360
or accusing somebody else or whatever, instead of meditating on those thoughts or even fighting

118
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:14,240
them, I found myself speaking in tongues. And it was like, speaking in tongues, it was like, oh,

119
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,040
my spirit's saying, no, we're not going there.

120
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,800
Right. Yep. Absolutely.

121
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:27,920
This idea of just stopping and being quiet is probably one of the hardest things for just

122
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:34,080
active people in the ministry to just stop, stop being active, just hush.

123
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,720
Right.

124
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Just be quiet.

125
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Yep. Yeah. It's a challenge. And really, this is what I've found is it's a little bit of a

126
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:47,520
challenge on your identity, where if your identity is being drawn from your function in your ministry

127
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,920
or your calling, when the Lord says stop and be still, it's like, oh, I got to do something. We

128
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:59,440
feel like we have to do something to then earn a status with Him or being okay with Him instead of

129
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,000
just being still and just being with Him.

130
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,720
Mm hmm. Well, I think that's still fleshly thinking. It's a fleshly bet that makes you

131
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,880
think that you have to earn something somehow.

132
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:09,120
Right.

133
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,520
And you don't. We can do nothing without Him.

134
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Yeah. Yep.

135
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,240
So, why try stuff without Him?

136
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,360
Yeah. I'm with you.

137
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,240
I don't know. But we do.

138
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:18,720
Yeah.

139
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,840
We do. So, tell us how the Lord really called you into the ministry.

140
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:30,720
So, ever since I had that encounter, I really just wanted to, I wanted to be in ministry. And

141
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,520
started off with growing in the prophetic. I would just get on Facebook. There's a little

142
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Facebook group of about 200 that now has, I think, 25,000 that I would just get on and

143
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:49,760
prophesy over 10 strangers a day. And I wasn't trying to really even to develop a prophetic

144
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,200
gift. I just wanted to know that what I heard was the Lord, was the Lord. And if this is an

145
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,680
objective person, and I'm saying these are the things that I'm hearing from God, if they say,

146
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:04,320
no, one, it's a stranger, so it doesn't hurt my feelings. And two, I'm saying,

147
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:10,960
my feelings. And two is, it's, you know, you get that immediate feedback of this is God or it's

148
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,880
not. So, but at the end of a week, you've prophesied over 70 people. And, you know,

149
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,760
so it started on Facebook. And then at a certain point, a friend of mine said,

150
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,080
you're starting to get a reputation as a prophet on Facebook. You should call some churches in the

151
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,880
area and you should tell them that you're a prophet. And that's how the Lord, maybe that's

152
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,760
how the Lord's gonna start your ministry. And I'd thought about it for a while. I was like, well,

153
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,680
I know one minister that started that way. And the Lord said, it would be better for you to humble

154
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:45,920
yourself and I promote you at the right time than for you to promote yourself and I have to humble

155
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,720
you. Yeah.

156
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,680
Oh, you know, it's God when it sounds like that.

157
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:50,320
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

158
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,000
It's got that like, oh, you're right. That is much better.

159
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Yeah.

160
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,120
On the fly, something from God, you know.

161
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,680
Yeah, but it's done in such a way that there's wisdom in it.

162
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:07,120
Right. It also takes that, okay, I have this desire to be in ministry. That's something the

163
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,000
Lord put there. So, if He's giving me the desire, He has a plan to fulfill it and I don't know what

164
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,920
it is. So, fast forward two years of waiting, essentially. The Lord had told me I needed to

165
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,960
learn about deliverance and I went to a friend of mine's house church in Kansas City. And I

166
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,840
walked into this room and at church, their leadership was all going to receive inner

167
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,800
healing deliverance. And this little old lady who I'd never met said, you're the man from my dream.

168
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:43,120
And I said, what was your dream? You know, you don't know which way that's going. And she said,

169
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,960
in the dream, you were leading me and my church through these double doors and performing surgery

170
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,280
on us. And I said, well, where's your church? And her church was in Juarez, Mexico. So,

171
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,680
you know, that was how the ministry actually started. She invited me. I went with that house

172
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:01,600
church once and then the house church stopped meeting and me and the friend of mine that used

173
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,320
to lead that church, we still go, we started going again about every three months. So,

174
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,560
that's how Kingdom Awakening started was through the hosting pastor's dream. And the thing that I

175
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:18,240
love about it is I can't take credit for it. I can't say I couldn't make that happen. It

176
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,120
wasn't from my effort. It was the Lord did that. So, we tend to think of things in terms of,

177
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,880
you know, our ministry and your ministry and really they're just different responsibilities,

178
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:36,000
but it's all the Lord's ministry. And now I've had something, this is just something new that's

179
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,920
exciting. And in the last year, this has happened to me twice, where somebody has come up to me and

180
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:48,560
said, I've been ministering in, it's happened about India and once in the Philippines, where

181
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,800
somebody's been ministering in these regions for a long period of time. I have 60 churches in India.

182
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,040
And the other one was there's hundreds of churches in the Philippines. The Lord gave me this nation,

183
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:05,600
however many years ago. And the Lord told me that you're supposed to take up the responsibility for

184
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:13,680
it. It's just fun because you can't make it happen. You don't get to take credit. You just

185
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:20,640
say, yes, Lord, I'm going. So, it's just, it's fun. That's how things have been started and that's

186
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:28,160
just how we're being led by the Lord. Beautiful. Beautiful. So, tell us, when we were talking

187
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:35,200
earlier, you mentioned how you love prayer and you love intercession. What would you say about

188
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:43,440
your prayer life that has fed into what you do in evangelism? Well, one is when you're interceding

189
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:50,320
over either a specific trip or a place, you know, you start to build that spiritual connection there,

190
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,120
where you become acquainted with, one, you get acquainted with where the church is at spiritually,

191
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:01,680
you get acquainted with what kind of resistance they face. So, I feel like it kind of primes the

192
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:07,600
pump for those trips. I can't say that I've done this every time, but I have a general practice of,

193
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,960
especially if I'm doing any kind of crusade type evangelism, fasting is required beforehand,

194
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:19,520
not while you're there, but beforehand, fasting and prayer so that you are prepared to confront

195
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,560
some of those things that you're going to be dealing with when you're there. So, it's preparation.

196
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:31,520
It builds a unity in the spirit. And for me anyway, when I do missions, I generally feel

197
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:38,080
like I'm not the main person. Even if I'm the person preaching, it's like you feel like you're

198
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,040
stepping into the labors of somebody else. You know, the people that are the pastors that are

199
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,520
there that are confronting these realities day in, day out, the intercessors that are there that are

200
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:54,480
confronted with the realities of their culture and have to fight, you know, for family and depending

201
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,880
on where it is, all the different obstacles. There's a unity that gets built in the spirit

202
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,600
because I start to participate with their effort. And most of the time, you're really just the amen,

203
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,360
right? You know, they're already hearing from the Lord and you hear the same thing,

204
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,880
but because it comes from an outside voice, there's that recognition and that corporate

205
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,080
faith that gets released of, this is the Lord. So, it's just fun to participate in.

206
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,720
Angela Brown I love that. I love that.

207
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:27,360
You also mentioned to us that you've been doing some training in the nations. Tell us about that.

208
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:36,080
David Yeah, so this is back in 2018. In one week, I had 3000 friend requests on Facebook.

209
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:43,920
I didn't know what happened. I didn't know why. And it was mostly pastors and a lot of them in

210
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,800
Africa, some of them in the Middle East. I was just like, this is too many people. Like, I don't

211
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,080
know how to respond to all this. Like, what am I supposed to do, Lord? He said to plan a trip. So,

212
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:02,960
I planned a trip to Uganda, to Tanzania, and to Kenya. And when I was in Uganda, I saw so many

213
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,720
miracles. It was blind eyes and deaf ears and crippled people are getting up. But one of the

214
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,720
things that stood out was, went to this kind of remote area with the pastor that was hosting me.

215
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,040
He said, well, we're going to meet with some of the local pastors before you speak at the

216
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:26,240
conference. That's okay. And we spent what was close to three hours talking about why

217
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,960
biblically you are not divorced just because you moved to a different city,

218
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,040
and your wife is in one city and the pastor moves to a new city.

219
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:41,040
Tanner Iskra So, I was like, how are we spending so much time on this one subject?

220
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,640
There's got to be you guys have demons manifesting left and right and witches all over the place. And

221
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,520
we're talking about why this, you know, just because you move, it doesn't mean you're divorced.

222
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,920
And the hosting pastor explained to me, he said, these are some village believers and pastors. Most

223
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,800
of them want to get a believer that has, you know, been a Christian for a while to just become the

224
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:09,200
pastor, but they've never been trained. So, his idea, which I thought was a brilliant idea was

225
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:15,120
to put some online training for pastors, just make it available online. They can look at it on their

226
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:21,600
phone, just basic foundations of faith. Said, and once they've gone through your program,

227
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,640
then when you do an evangelistic crusade, we'll have one of them come from, that have gone through

228
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:33,120
your school and we'll plant them for planting the church in that area. So, we did that. I trained at

229
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:40,640
a missionary school here in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. And I took the footage from that,

230
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,440
put it online and made it available for the pastors. So, they went through the training course.

231
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,400
And I think we ended up with, it was a bunch, I forget how many, I want to say 30, 40 pastors

232
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,720
that had gone through that training, the first wave of training. And now we have a plan for

233
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:05,520
going back to Uganda. We're trying to plan a crusade event along the border of Uganda and Congo,

234
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,280
which to try to get to the more unreached villages and then plant a church there because my heart is,

235
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,480
I don't want to preach at a field where 15 other evangelists are preaching to the same crowd.

236
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,160
I'd rather preach to 10 people that haven't heard the gospel than to

237
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,520
2,000 that have heard the story before. And I'm not knocking ministries that do that. I'm just,

238
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:32,640
I think that there's times that we have a tendency to preach to the choir and we can over-emphasize

239
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:39,840
the numbers of attendees and the media looks great. But I think we can do it in a way that's

240
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,240
disingenuous, where we can make it look like all these salvations are happening when

241
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:51,200
50% of them were at church on the Sunday before. So, my heart is to get to the unreached when we do

242
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:51,520
those.

243
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Beautiful. I love your heart. That's fantastic. So, tell us a little bit about how you began

244
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:06,560
experiencing miracles in your ministry. Yeah, obviously, the Lord told you to humble yourself

245
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:12,000
and let Him work on your character. Then what happened? You know, obviously, you made some kind

246
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,680
of a shift somehow.

247
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,680
Yeah. So, at the time I was at Wellspring Church where Jack Deer was pastoring and he wrote,

248
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,280
surprised by the voice of God, surprised by the power of the Spirit. That was where I was

249
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:29,200
really trained and taught on the prophetic. From being there, I was just so hungry for

250
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,680
really for miracles. I wouldn't say I'm any less hungry for miracles now. It's just,

251
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,240
I feel like I have a more balanced approach to it where we can over-emphasize miracle,

252
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,040
miracle, miracle and forget, hey, you're supposed to be doing this stuff for love,

253
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,520
not just for the sake of seeing a miracle. Which was where I was coming from in the beginning.

254
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,800
But it wasn't enough for me to just do it when the church was open. So, I was on Facebook and

255
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,320
that wasn't enough. And when I saw, there was a clip that happened at that conference where I got

256
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,280
saved where the Bethel students were going out and praying for people. And I thought, well,

257
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,480
if they can do it, I can do it. So, that's what I did. I just, for my lunch break, I would skip

258
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,800
and go to the mall and just go pray for people and practice getting words of knowledge, practice

259
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:19,600
praying for the sick and seeing people get healed. And I met another friend who was also doing it in

260
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,560
a different place. We met at a healing conference and then he and I started going together. And then

261
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:30,560
a group from a nearby college came and joined. And next thing you know, we had a group of probably

262
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:36,960
20 to 30 of us that were regularly going out and doing, it started off really just practicing the

263
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,560
gifts in public. And then it became, okay, how do we share our faith with this? And then after we

264
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,880
incorporated that, you know, a lot of us were going to some of the churches in the Dallas area

265
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,960
and that started a couple of the evangelism ministries or the evangelism departments, I guess,

266
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,520
at different churches in the Dallas, Fort Worth area. So, that was when I first started seeing

267
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:03,920
some of those miracles that and deliverance was something that I was experiencing first in Mexico.

268
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:11,600
And it was, you know, sometimes when the Lord uses you despite your ignorance, it was one of those

269
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,480
scenarios where Cody Purcell is the deliverance minister that he and I do a lot of stuff together

270
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:26,000
in Mexico. And he really has a strong discernment gift where he can, he doesn't even need to see

271
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,480
somebody. He can just pray for a second. He'll know what spirit it is, how strong it is, how long

272
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,800
it's been there, which is super helpful. And when I went with him the first time to Mexico,

273
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:43,440
and his mentor was up and they said, okay, so they're kind of prepping the team before

274
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:49,040
we minister. They said, who's ready to lead a deliverance team? And nobody's responding.

275
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,640
And I was like, I'll figure it out. So, I just raised my hand. I had no idea what I was getting

276
00:24:52,640 --> 00:25:00,240
in for. And so, they get done preaching. The minister gets up, Dr. Reedy. He's here in

277
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:07,040
Fort Worth and he starts rebuking the spirits of witchcraft. And he tells him, if you know,

278
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,880
anybody here, if you start to feel anything when I'm rebuking witchcraft, I want you to come up

279
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:18,400
and get prayer from the deliverance teams. And he starts rebuking witchcraft. I'm like,

280
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,360
people really have this. Like, I have no understanding of it at the time.

281
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:30,960
And most of the church stands up. They all have witchcraft. And this sweet little mom comes up

282
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,080
to me and she says, my sisters and my mom and I all used to be in a coven and we were witches

283
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,840
together. And I feel something when he was praying. And I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

284
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,440
I'm like, I don't, you know, again, I have no training. I'm like, I'll figure it out.

285
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:55,920
So, I just take her hands and I'm like, Lord, what do I do? And I feel, and this is actually

286
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:01,280
the only time I've felt it like this, I feel the love of Jesus rising up within me. And it's like

287
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:06,800
a light that comes out of my face. And as soon as I have this feeling, she falls out and she's

288
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,320
sobbing and she's getting delivered. And I thought, hey, this deliverance thing, this isn't so hard.

289
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Like, you just need the love of Jesus to rise up and shoot out your face. And then people get

290
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:25,280
delivered. And then the Lord had to humble me. So, the very next person was a little 14-year-old

291
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,760
kid with the spirit of fear. And for the life of me, I could not get the thing out. And finally,

292
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:35,520
the speaker came over and in about 10 seconds, he cast that demon out. I was like, all right,

293
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,200
I still got some stuff to learn. So, that was my intro.

294
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:47,520
Wow. Wow. That's wild. And so, you got into the ministry of deliverance before you

295
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,800
were seeing healings or was that kind of simultaneous?

296
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:56,400
No, healing was probably first. That was because I would seen that at the mall and seen that when

297
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,080
I was out praying for people. And then the prophetic was building a lot on Facebook and deliverance was

298
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:08,400
learning how to cast out spirits. That was started off in Mexico and then practiced at

299
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,600
the church that we were part of and then as the need arose for doing inner healing deliverance.

300
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,280
And so, you just started praying for people and they just started getting healed?

301
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:18,480
Yeah. Yeah.

302
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,320
Just that simple.

303
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:20,560
Yeah.

304
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,840
I would say that some of the more, the most significant miracles to me personally were

305
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,360
when preaching the gospel. And I'll just share this story just because it still kind of messes with me

306
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:56,320
where I'm learning how to preach and minister miracles. So, this is kind of my beginning of preaching the gospel.

307
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:02,480
First time after I'm done preaching, I call people up and I just wanted to pray for people to be filled

308
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:08,800
with the gospel. And the next day, thought, okay, I'm doing what I'm told. And the reason I hadn't been,

309
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,000
the first time I had called out, first time I called out words of knowledge from the state,

310
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,800
but nobody came up. Now, they told me later that people were in their homes were getting healed

311
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,400
when I'm calling out words of knowledge, but they never came up to give the testimony.

312
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,120
So, the last night, the Lord said, call out the words of knowledge and bring them up on stage.

313
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,320
So, I'm calling out words of knowledge and I said, there's somebody here you fell,

314
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,320
you hit your head on concrete in the back of your head and you have pain in your neck in the back

315
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:40,000
of your head right now and nobody's coming up. I said it again, nobody's coming up.

316
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,640
Third time, and that up comes this lady with a bandage wrapped around her head and she's got

317
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,520
her daughter with her, which I didn't call out a word for her daughter. And she said,

318
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,000
yes, I was at a meeting the other day, I fell and hit my head on a curb and I've had pain in the back

319
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,600
of my head ever since. But I also want you to pray for my daughter. And her daughter, the best way I

320
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,800
could describe it is it looked like she had had a stroke where half of her face, the muscles weren't

321
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:11,120
quite right. Her eye wasn't symmetrical, you know, it was just, and she wasn't making any eye contact.

322
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:17,600
So, I prayed for the mom, the mom falls out, but now I don't know what to pray for this girl.

323
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,360
She just said, I want you to pray for my daughter. So, again, I'm not in this like,

324
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,800
I'm a professional minister, I know what's going on phase. I just kind of put my hands over her

325
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:33,280
whole head, which I'm sure was weird to her, but I'm like this. And I start to pray and I take my

326
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:39,360
hands off. And after I took my hands off, I watched her face, her eye moved into perfect place,

327
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,000
her muscles came into perfect alignment. And she looked at me and started laughing and I lost,

328
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,400
I'm laughing. The worship leader who's supposed to be leading worship, he's not leading worship

329
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,040
anymore. He's now giggling and laughing at the whole thing. And they told me later that she had

330
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:59,680
autism. And one of the symptoms was she couldn't make eye contact. And the first thing that she

331
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,920
did after she got healed was she looked in my eyes and laughed. So, that was-

332
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,760
Wow, that's huge.

333
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:06,720
That was significant.

334
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,320
That is so-

335
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,560
That's all. That's just awesome.

336
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,000
Yeah. Glory to God.

337
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:12,400
I know.

338
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,040
Thank you, Jesus.

339
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:13,600
Tell us some more.

340
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,440
We've seen, I think I've seen three different paralyzed people get up and walk.

341
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:25,680
Once was a woman who had, I don't know all the different terms, but something was in her spine

342
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:32,800
that had cut off stuff. So, she had no feeling. And she came in in a wheelchair for prayer and

343
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:39,120
her daughter was with her. And it started off with, we're praying and she could barely move

344
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,560
one of the toes on her feet. And she couldn't do that before. Okay. So, it's just barely wiggling.

345
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,800
We're just going to keep praying. And it was probably 30, 45 minutes, one from wiggling

346
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:55,280
the toe to moving the whole foot to moving her leg back and forth. And she got to walk out pushing

347
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:01,520
the wheelchair that she came in on. She's pushing it out. And it was just so much fun. We've seen-

348
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:01,920
Wow.

349
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:08,480
Blind eyes. We've seen open deaf ears. It was one of those things that taught me the importance.

350
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:14,240
We can kind of forget it that the gospel is the power of God. The signs and wonders follow the

351
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:19,760
preaching of the gospel. He's always going to confirm his word. And one of those questions of

352
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,600
why do we see more miracles when we do mission trips or overseas and things like that? I think

353
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:31,600
we're preaching the gospel. The gospel is the power of God. And when we're here, we are not

354
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,640
always preaching the gospel.

355
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,760
Yeah. So, do you still go out on the streets like you did at the first?

356
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:44,720
Not like I did at first. At first, I would say I was so excited by the miracles that

357
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:51,760
not all of my motives were to love people. It was, you know, I just wanted to see miracles.

358
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:57,040
And now I get to go, you know, I spent a period of time with a local church here as the director

359
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,480
of evangelism and teaching other people how to go out and to move in signs and wonders and

360
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:08,080
and have the gifts be the thing that bypass some of the arguments and the rational mind can kind

361
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,800
of get in the way of hearing the gospel. But if you have a word of knowledge, you bypass all of

362
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:19,040
those arguments and now they're listening. So, I did that for a few years. And now with my children

363
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:25,440
and my daughter who is 10 and has not been on a mission trip and has not been, I haven't given her

364
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:31,760
any kind of training. She just said, I want to go pray for people. Okay. So, when we do daddy dates,

365
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,640
we make sure we pray for people. And we just started this year, we take sticky notes, which

366
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:42,480
my wife is not a huge fan of this. And we take sticky notes and in the wall in our dining room,

367
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,680
there's no decorations on the wall. So, anybody that we pray for, we write their name and what we

368
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,800
prayed for them for and stick it on the wall. So, that is at the end of the year, which is not,

369
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,440
does not go with the decor at all. But the idea is by the end of the year, we're going to have a

370
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,840
wall of people that we've prayed for that we can continue to pray for.

371
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Oh, that's beautiful. That is beautiful. So, you're training up your children in the way that they

372
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:14,720
should go. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. Well, Jeff, would you pray for our listeners,

373
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,280
just as the Holy Spirit leads you? Absolutely. Heavenly Father would just come before you right

374
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:26,480
now. I thank you for everyone that is listening to this podcast. When I pray for their hearts,

375
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:32,640
I pray for their hearts to open up to you even more. Father, I pray that they'd be so compelled

376
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:39,520
by love that the idea of sharing their faith, that they would be driven by love, their love for you

377
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:45,200
first and foremost. God, I pray that you would take every listener into a deeper and deeper

378
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:52,400
relationship with you to hear your voice, to know your heart, to know your will. God, I pray that

379
00:33:52,400 --> 00:34:00,080
you would use them in powerful ways with signs and wonders following after their lives as they

380
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:07,680
continue to share the truth about who you are. Jesus, I pray that you would anoint each one,

381
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:14,160
each one with special encounters with you. Lord, give them dreams, give them visions,

382
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:19,360
give them direction. Lord, for the ministry that you call them to, for the things that you've

383
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:26,320
called them uniquely and specifically into, I bless them and I pray your grace and your favor

384
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:32,000
over each one. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen.

385
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,480
Wow, that was beautiful. So, Jeff, we know that you have a website. Can you tell us what that is?

386
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,160
It's KingdomAwaken.org or KingdomAwaken.com.

387
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,360
Okay. And you've written a book. Tell us about your book.

388
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:53,600
I have. So, the book is the Tactical Field Manual for the Army of God. And it actually started with,

389
00:34:53,600 --> 00:35:00,480
you can barely see it, this big red book back here. That book is a secular military history

390
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,040
book. I walked into Barnes and Noble one day and the Lord said, I want you to study military

391
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:13,520
history. And I thought, that's not really my thing. I said, but if there's a title of a book that

392
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,240
stands out in the military section, I'll know it's you if it has some kind of prophetic meaning.

393
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:25,520
And I saw that book and the book is called Invisible Armies. And then I'm still kind of

394
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,600
in that place where I'm like, Lord, what does this have to do with you and the kingdom? And

395
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:37,120
I had a friend with me. I said, give me a number between one and 500. And I heard 23. She said 23.

396
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:43,520
And I turned to page 23. And page 23 of a secular military history book is talking about the

397
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:50,400
fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy for the tearing down in Jerusalem of the temple. So, it's a

398
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:58,640
fulfillment of prophecy. And so, the Lord took me on this journey of understanding that our identity

399
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:05,600
is, we understand our identity as sons and daughters, but in many ways, we don't understand

400
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,400
our identity as soldiers. And that that's not something that we put on and take off. It's part

401
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:16,080
of who we are. That's the first. I'm actually working on the second book on leadership for

402
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,440
the army of the Lord.

403
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:23,760
wonderful. Wow, that sounds great. And you've got a podcast too. Tell us about your podcast.

404
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,920
Just started it. I just had these amazing guests on just a few minutes ago.

405
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:38,560
I was blessed to have you both on the podcast. Yeah, it's the Kingdom Awakening podcast. You can

406
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:44,720
find it on Spotify and YouTube and Apple podcasts. And I'm just asking people questions and learning

407
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:50,080
from the way that the Lord has led them and in the same way as y'all are with global outpouring.

408
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,480
Well, we're looking forward to partnering with you in some things in the future. I believe God's

409
00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:00,720
going to do some things that one of the things that just gets into my heart when we begin to

410
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:06,160
build a relationship is knowing that it's a relationship that's not just for a moment.

411
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:12,640
It's not just for here and now, for time, it's for return. So I can see that God is going to do

412
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:18,240
some things with Kingdom Awakening and global outpouring. And you told us something really

413
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:25,280
amazing when you were getting the name for your organization, you were praying into it back in

414
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:31,840
what year? This would have been 2012. Okay, what happened? We were looking for a name and looking

415
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,880
at different domains and trying to come up with names. And one of the potential names that was on

416
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:43,200
the list for the name of the ministry was global outpouring. That just, that just was, you know,

417
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:49,600
you know, you can tell that this is, there's a connection here. And, you know, you got to us

418
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:57,040
a few days ago and said, I was praying and the Lord brought you to my mind for a podcast. So

419
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:02,560
that's how we got started doing your podcast first. And I said, well, let us do a podcast with you

420
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:10,160
too. So we're looking forward to seeing what else the Lord has for us to do together in the future.
