SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. There was a great man of God by the name of Smith Wigglesworth. He had some of the most outrageous miracles. For instance, fire would come out of his body and burn up disease. My next guest received an impartation from his great-granddaughter in which fire comes out of him to burn up disease. That’s good for him. It’s good for Smith Wigglesworth, but what about me? Am I Swiss cheese? What about you? He says he can pray that impartation on you. Anyone else besides me want it? You know, Jack Sheffield, one of my favorite chapters in the Jewish Scriptures is the prophet Ezekiel. He had to do some pretty wild things. But in the 47th chapter he talks about a river that God has given you a revelation on.

JACK: Yes.

SID: Tell me about this river. Where is it coming from?

JACK: It’s coming from the Throne of God, Sid.

SID: That’s a good place.

JACK: Jesus is out in the middle of this river and he’s beckoning Ezekiel to come out. He comes out ankle deep. He comes out waist deep. He comes out where Jesus is saying, “I want you to come out all the way and I want you to swim in this river of God.”

SID: Meaning you have to be totally dependent on God.

JACK: Absolutely.

SID: There’s no bottom. You’re just swimming. You have to swim by faith.

JACK: Yes. You’re emerged in his presence. You are inundated with him. You are absolutely overcome with his Spirit and he moves you, everything about that river moves you. It’s time for the body of Christ to come out of the shallows and into the deep waters with Jesus Christ. It’s time for the body of Christ to go swimming.

SID: You know, you have such a gentle spirit, but as a teenager it’s hard to believe, you were pretty rebel.

JACK: I was. My generation became disillusioned, angry, rebellious. We became self-destructive. We started doing things like drugs. We started, you know, rebelling against God. When my sister died at age 24 I shook my fist at God and I said, “I want nothing more to do with you.” And my life plummeted. It took six years for me to go into Hell, but I ended up tormented, demonized. I was hearing voices. I was suicidal.
SID: So how did you end up in the back yard of a strong Christian? Why don’t you even, how could that have happened?

JACK: Well she knew me from the time I was in junior high and she loved me, I knew that, and she heard about what was going on in my life. And somebody said, “That Jack Sheffield is going straight to Hell,” is what they said to her. And she said, “Not my Jack Sheffield. My Jack Sheffield is going to Heaven. I’m not going to let him go to Hell.”

SID: Not on my watch. So prays you into your back yard?

JACK: Yes. Yes.

SID: That’s rare.

JACK: The Holy Spirit said go out on the swing, somebody is coming tonight, and it was me. I just got in my car and drove to her house, had no real reason for doing it, except I believe the tractor beam of the Holy Spirit was drawing me in.

SID: How were you filled with the Holy Spirit?

JACK: Well Wanda, was her name that was praying for me, and she got me down on my knees in a ditch on Highway 98, right by the Brazos River, where I grew up in Richmond, Texas. And when I prayed the Sinner’s Prayer, liquid honey came down my being, just all, just drenched, golden honey just drenched all of that pain, all that fear, all that torment, all that doubt, all that shame, all that rage, all that anger, all that rebellion, washed it right out of my toes and I’m free.

SID: Is that the way they say it in Texas?

JACK: Right out of my toes.

SID: Okay. Now you’re in this service where everyone that needed healing got healed. Tell me about that experience.

JACK: Went to church where there was supernatural signs and wonders. A woman died during the sermon. Oh my God. And the preacher told me later on his sermon was not that bad. It really was not that bad.

SID: Not a good way to have a membership drive.

JACK: They pronounced her dead. The priest came down and fell on this woman, weeping, got like Elijah did over that little boy that was dead. The ambulance came in. They pronounced her dead. They put her on the gurney. They put a sheet over her. They were halfway to Ben Todd Morgue in Houston, Texas and the sheet sits up. And the driver sees it and she’s fine. She’s trying to get the sheet off of her, and then finally she’s saying, “Where are you all taking me?” And they said, “Anywhere you want to go. Where do you want to go?”

SID: Where’s a TV camera when I need it?

JACK: And she said the most wonderful thing. She said, “I didn’t get my Eucharist.” That’s the communion. “I want my Eucharist and so take me back to my church.” What do you think happened to that church when she walked in there? God tore that place up, absolutely tore it up.

SID: What’s it like to see everyone healed? Tell me about that service.

JACK: When we were praying over a group of people on a Sunday night in our church, I was having in my hands, and I looked up at my friend John Mark as we were praying for this lady and when I saw the golden light, I said to John, “I can’t even see your face. Do you see what I see?” And he said, “I see it.” And it was the golden Shekinah Glory of God that had saturated the whole front of that church. And I said something so strange, I said, “God is here. God is manifesting here. Ask what you will, but be careful what you ask. And this man standing next to me came to the healing service because he had kidney stones. The moment he asked he was instantly healed. His wife was over here and she said, “My son is very, very sick and I tried to call him and tell him that I’m going to be praying for him tonight. He’s been very, very sick, but his phone was broken. But I came here because I want you to pray for him.” And when she prayed they compared notes later and at the same moment that she prayed he sat up in the bed totally healed.

SID: And so that fire went over anyone that needed healing.

JACK: Everything.

SID: When we come back I want to know how that same fire that burned out disease on this famous healing evangelist, Smith Wigglesworth, came upon you. Be right back.
