SID: Not only is Tony Kemp now operating the same miracles as my guests, but you told me something. Right from the gate, I want to go there. You told me God wants to heal people right now.
TONY: Yes.
SID: Talk to them.
TONY: The Lord spoke to my heart that he was going to heal people today, and he is specifically going to heal people with back conditions. For the person that has an issue with the spine, you’re being healed by Yeshua right now. There’s a person who has metal in your back, there’s a person with rods, there was a person with metal in the leg, and it’s causing you pain and discomfort and you’re being healed by Yeshua right now. There are creative miracles. You’re going to discover that your pain is decreasing, you’re going to discover your pain is going to go away, and there’s going to be at two different kinds of miracles in regards to this metal miracle. The metal’s going to remain, but the pain will be gone and you’ll have perfect mobility. And in other cases, your metal is going to literally disappear. It’s going to be replaced with bone, and all your pain is going to be gone. Jesus is doing it for you right now.
SID: Tony, you were supposed to turn the tables on me. Are you going to do it?
TONY: I am going to turn the tables on you here.
SID: Watch this, everyone.
TONY: I’ve been on your program and number of times and you’ve always interviewed me, but I want to interview you. And what is a Jewish man? How did you come to know Jesus as your Messiah?
SID: I was looking for happiness.
Just trust me, you’re going to make money.
SID: I was successful in business but when I realized that I will not be a millionaire by age 30, depression and hopelessness set it. I even checked out the bar scene. After all, I was really young when I got married, but I’m convinced the bars are filled with the most hopeless loneliest people in the world. One day someone said, “I have a friend that took a new age course, and now he knows things that were never programmed in his mind. So, I took the course there and making a long story short, I was violating my own Jewish scriptures and didn’t know it.
SID: In the 18th chapter of the book of Deuteronomy, God says it’s an abomination to be involved with witchcraft, reincarnation, going to fortune tellers, being involved with psychics, seances, new age, and you suffer consequences. I did. I knew something. I knew there was something evil inside of me, and I wanted out. If you ever saw the movie or read the book, The Exorcist, I was living it. But what does a Jewish, what does even a Christian person do that’s like that? Most ministers on aren’t equipped to help you. I had nowhere to go.
SID: And so, I’d met some Christian friends who said, “If you would pray to God in the name of your Messiah Jesus, he’ll set you free. Well, you know, Tony, when someone is going down for the third time in the middle of the ocean, you don’t care who throws you a rope. Therefore, I prayed a very simple prayer, two-word prayer, Jesus, help! And I went to bed and I did not want to wake up, life was too hard. But I did wake up the next morning and there was a presence of God. It was thick, it was tangible. Today I know it’s the glory, the manifest presence of God. I can just tell you it came in my room, that demon that was inside of me, couldn’t take the heat, it left.
SID: I was separated from my wife for a year at that point, and I heard the audible voice of God for the first time in my life. He said, “I hate divorce, return to” — I didn’t know he was quoting Malachi. He was quoting Malachi. I found it in the Bible. I was so excited when I found it. He said, “I hate divorce, return to your wife and daughter.” And so, Joyce and I have been married for 53 years.
TONY: Amen.
SID: That’s the short story of how I became a believer in Jesus. Well, the glory of God touched your life and you heard the voice of the Lord. And because you had this supernatural encounter with God, you were given a hunger for the supernatural and a passion for the miraculous. Tell us a little bit about how that developed.
TONY: Well, I have to tell you, a lot of people judge me. First of all, you’re not supposed to judge me, according to the Bible. Second of all, a lot of people judge me and say, “Oh, he just is so crazy for miracles.” No. If you read the Bible, you will see there is a biblical way to get people saved. It’s called demonstrate the kingdom and earn the right to present the King. My passion is souls. He who wins souls is wise.
SID: I want you to know that I’m amazed, Tony, and you know this because you’re on my board, that I’ll go in front of 1000 Jewish people that know nothing about the Messiah and I’ll have a couple of words of knowledge, and 60, 70% of unsaved Jewish people say, “I’ve just been healed,” and I’m in more awe than they are. And then they will listen to an hour presentation from the Jewish scriptures as to why Jesus is the Messiah. That’s God’s way. I want to do things God’s way. Maybe things aren’t working because we’re not doing things God’s way. That’s why, I don’t mean to yell at you, but I’m excited. That’s why I am so fascinated with the supernatural. It earns a right for me to present the gospel.
TONY: Amen.
SID: When we come back, I’m going to turn in the tables back on Tony Kemp, and I’m going to find out about his face to face with God. Be right back.
