SID: Hello. Welcome. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. In the late 1800’s, the great aunt of my guest, her name was Marie Woodworth Etter, she rocked the Christian world, but she also rocked the secular world with the most amazing gifts, and my guest has inherited that mantle. Now when she was 25 years of age, Jesus came to her and said, “There is coming a day when you will be a prophet like Samuel. Not one of your words will fall to the ground without them coming to pass. But it will be in your latter years.” And guess what? That’s now. You know Glenda, I’ve been reading about your great aunt and I am in awe of her. This was in the late 1800’s. Women weren’t, it wasn’t acceptable to preach, but, and this was in the day before Internet and all the media we have today. Twenty-five thousand, upwards of 25,000 would gather for her meetings. She got the attention of the secular world because she would go into trances and she would be preaching like this and get frozen. Sometimes up to three days and three nights she would not move. So the press thought she’s faking it. So they would take pins, and they would stick the pin in her and she wouldn’t budge because she was having an encounter in Heaven or perhaps being translated to another part of the world. In fact, the most skeptical reporters, you know what would happen to them? They would fall over in the spirit and be unconscious for hours. I mean, that’s, these days, Glenda, are these days coming back?
GLENDA: They are, even greater.
SID: Okay. I am in awe over the gift God has entrusted to you, a prophecy. Tell me a few prophecies that you’ve had in the past that have come to pass.
GLENDA: Okay. I was in a church and on a Sunday evening, God stopped me, prophecy came on me and I prophesied that Reagan was going to be shot that week, but he would not die. And so I had everybody stand up and pray for him. And before the week was out, he was shot, and I got revivals out of that.
SID: Now what about Berlin?
GLENDA: Berlin Wall, I prophesied that it was coming down. I prophesied the Gulf War and that it would end soon. And I prophesied the Iraq War and that it would be called those names exactly as they were called. And God said this war is not going to end easily because America, her pride, she took glory for the Gulf War and He said, God said, “They gave ME no glory. They did not look unto me. So it’s not going to be over until I say it’s over and many are going to be killed.”
SID: And before the election with President Obama…
GLENDA: Yes.
SID: What did God tell you?
GLENDA: That Obama, in ’07, he showed me, I didn’t even know who he was. And He told me Obama was going to be our president. And then when the next election, I prophesied he was going to win again. And of course you know, many didn’t believe it. And the major prophets prophesied the other man, Mitt Romney. But God told me, “I don’t care what anybody says. It’s going to be Obama.” And of course we know Obama is in the White House.
SID: Okay. I’m going to stretch you right now. Are you ready to be stretched? I’m ready to be stretched because Glenda’s father, I mean, he knew the ministry of her great aunt. And he was a butcher by day and a preacher by night, and one day, horrible mistake, he sliced his finger off. He ran to the doctor and what did he say to the doctor?
GLENDA: “I want you to sew my finger back on.” And the doctor said, “Absolutely not.” He said, “If I do, gangrene will set in and you’ll lose your whole arm.”
Man: I don’t care. I want you to sew it back on now.
GLENDA: And he made him sign papers because my dad was so persistent about it being sewn on.
SID: They didn’t want liability problems back then, too. Okay.
GLENDA: No. Yes, it was in the ’50s. And so he was in a revival at night and he was in a lot of pain and red streaks started going up his arm. And so my mom said, “Maybe you should have not had it sewn on.” And he goes, “No, I serve God. He’s the great physician and I know I’m going to get a miracle.” And my dad looked for miracles all the time. And when we went to church, I was eight years old, was going to the revival that night. And I got in the back seat with my brother and sister, and I could feel faith in the air.
Man: God has provided for you and God will be in your life, and God will heal you tonight.
GLENDA: And his finger flew off, and immediately a brand new one appeared in its place.
SID: Did you see this with your eyes?
GLENDA: I did.
SID: You had to stretch your faith to see a finger grow out. I mean, that, but then when, it gets better. But believe it or not, it gets better.
GLENDA: Yes.
SID: The finger that was, you know, it just went, and it hit someone in a wheelchair. What was wrong with this person?
GLENDA: They were a paraplegic and it hit them, and they were healed instantly.
SID: How do you know?
GLENDA: I saw it.
SID: They got up?
GLENDA: Yes. Yes. And the caretakers were there that took care of this man, and they knew, and one of them accepted the Lord. And he ran all over the place.
SID: A paraplegic gets hit by a finger and runs all over. I’ll tell you what, eye has not seen and ear has not heard all that God has in store for you right now. We’ll be right back.
GLENDA: Amen.

Sid: My guest by way of telephone at her hotel room in Wichita, Kansas is Rebecca Park Totilo. I am interviewing her on her most recent book “His Majesty Requests” An Invitation to the Royal Wedding of the Lamb. The heart of this book Rebecca is something that so few Christians understand. You took the ancient Jewish Wedding and showed how many of the statements and things that Jesus did in the New Testament you can’t even understand if you didn’t understand the customs of the day of the Wedding. Now the reason the Wedding is so important is because of the subtitle of the book. “It’s an Invitation to the Royal Wedding of the Lamb.” And how can you prepare to be the Bride for the great Wedding Supper of the Lamb if you don’t know the directions. And when people either hear you speak or read your book the main…my main prayer is to have intimacy with God. What happens with their intimacy with God as they understand these revelations?
Rebecca: Well, I’ve had people watch the presentation that I give showing the footage from weddings and they’re just crying. (Laughing) It’s just amazing I just tell people well you’re going to cry at weddings you know but this is much more than that because they’re realizing they’re finally seeing the picture of what He was trying to tell us. And this has been a lost picture for 1000’s of years because the believers have just grown so far away from their Hebrew roots of the faith. And I know that that’s what has happened to me is that I had become so disjointed from the scriptures. I knew the words but I couldn’t put a picture to it. And I had a Rabbi come up to me and tell me things about myself and he was able to just sort of bring things to life for me. And I went home and I started to study things and look through the eyes of a Hebrew. And so when I was doing my research for this book I did not rely on the Christian books as much as I was studying the Jewish writings and the books from the Jewish perspective. Because I knew I didn’t want to put a spin on things and make it fit our thinking but I wanted it to be authentic and true. And I even had Rabbis’ that work at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem do research for me in helping me to put this book together. And so I know that what I have been able to uncover and rediscover for people will bring it all to life for them.
Sid: Okay, well let’s take an example Jesus talked about He was preparing a mansion for us. Show me what understanding you got in that by understanding the ancient Jewish customs.
Rebecca: Well at the betrothal ceremony the bridegroom would leave the bride’s home and he would return to go back to his father’s house for several months to prepare for the Wedding Day. And so he would actually stand up to make an announcement to his bride just before leaving and he would say “I go and prepare a place for you and when it is ready I will return for you.” And so during this time of separation he’s gone home and he’s building a bridal chamber for his bride. Now of course he would probably just throw it together real fast if it was up to him but the father has to give the final inspection to it to make sure it’s ready before he’s allowed to go back and get his bride. And so that is exactly what we read in scriptures that remember when they asked Jesus about His return and when He’d be back? He said “Only the Father knew.” And that’s because the Father is going to have to give the final approval to the bridal chamber that He’s actually preparing for His bride. And so you remember that He was comforting His disciples with these same words. He said “For us not to let our hearts be troubled because in His Father’s house there were many mansions and if it wasn’t so He wouldn’t have told us that.” And so He was saying “I go to prepare a place for you.” So He was reaffirming us that once this place was ready this bridal chamber he was going to return for us.
Sid: What about in ancient times there was a price paid for the bride.
Rebecca: Right.
Sid: Tell me how that ties in.
Rebecca: And you know actually that this is a custom that still continues in some form in some cultures. But of course if anyone seen the movie “Fiddler on the Roof” they’ll remember (Laughing) the two fathers sitting down together having a drink and hackling over the price for the daughter. And so you would see that of course it was really God who had set a standard of righteousness for the bride. I know when I came across this I thought “I don’t know if I like this or not because I don’t want to be treated like a head of cattle here you know you’re just going to pay for me and I’m your property.” But it was because of the custom of the pagans the cultures around them that God was trying to set up a price of value upon a woman. And that you just sort of just placed a value of integrity upon her and so we know that in ancient time that they actually have it in scriptures where there is a price for the bride. And Jesus of course fulfilled this, He paid the bride price for us with dying on the cross and that was the ultimate price that He paid. And you know even in His dying words “It is finished” He was actually speaking to His bride because the word finished in Hebrew shares the same root word for bride which is Challah. And so he was actually sharing this with his bride saying that He had paid the final price. And that’s so beautiful it just means so much more to me now knowing that He was thinking about us when He was on the cross.
Sid: And you know what I’m thinking about right now I’m thinking about in Christianity where the Jewishness has been squeezed out.
Rebecca: Oh, yes.
Sid: And we have things like Easter or Resurrection Sunday and we really don’t even. If there’s a Passover Seder it’s a onetime thing and its demonstration and it’s more of a show. But you saw the whole bridegroom pumping the question connected with what is known as the Last Supper in the Passover Seder.
Rebecca: Right. That’s so right.
Sid: Tell me about that.
Rebecca: You know that’s what sort of got me started on this search too was realizing that I was telling you earlier about the Rabbi that spoke to me. One of the things that he addressed in me was the customs of the church and the Christmas and the Easter and the Halloween Harvest Parties and things like that and how far those were from the Biblical feast that God had ordered.
Sid: Can you picture when see I believe that we’re at the cutting edge of the greatest revival among Jewish people in history. And Rabbis’ are going to have revelations of Jesus, come into the congregation and become that one new man the Jew and Gentile. But…and the Gentile believer is going to bring that New Covenant understanding. And the Jewish believer especially these Rabbis’ are going to bring this richness that has been taken out. And I believe somehow those two coming together are going to ignite the greatest revival the world has ever seen. But go on I just couldn’t miss putting that in there but go ahead.
Rebecca: Well, in Judaism the perspective Israeli bridegroom would pop the question by pouring a cup of wine for his beloved and then he would wait for her response to see if she would accept it. You see if she would sip from the Kiddush cup this was showing her willingness to enter into the covenant of marriage. And what she actually was saying yes to this proposal. And so they were sharing a breit cup which is a cup of covenant. And so we see Yeshua at the Passover dinner doing the same thing with his disciples. He took…after the supper He took the breit cup and he was sealing the marriage covenant with His bride. He lifted his cup up with His right hand and He prayed the Jewish prayer over it and then he of course blessed the Father for His beautiful creation and for His choice fruit. And he said “Drink ye all of this for this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” And so he was actually proposing to them and if they drank they of course accepted His proposal. And so each time we take Holy Communion and share in this cup we are actually entering into a covenant if you will of betrothal with Jesus as Messiah. And each time again as we take this communion we are reaffirming our vows to Him and that we are betrothed to Him; and so we have to remain faithful to stay pure and ready for Him at any time.
Sid: And then you point out in your book from John 19:30 “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar He said ‘It is finished.’ And He bowed His head and gave up the Spirit.” What did that mean from the Hebrew?
Rebecca: Well, it’s very interesting that the word “It is finished.” Actually shares the same Hebrew root word as the bride which is challah. And so with His dying words He was actually speaking to His bride and telling her that bride price had been paid in full and that it was complete now and paid in full and he was reassuring her that everything was taken care of now.
Sid: And you know Mishpochah you may say “Why do I have to understand this?” Because the greatest intimacy in the natural is a marriage and the greatest intimacy in the supernatural is a marriage. And you’re in preparation to be a bride but if you don’t understand the instructions from our Messiah it’s very difficult. And as you explained Rebecca there are two types of virgins. One that had the oil and one that’s just interested in their own things.
Rebecca: That’s right there’s a distinction made in the scriptures showing us that there are those that will go into the marriage supper, those that were made ready and those that weren’t. And you see the Bible talks about the parable of the 10 virgins and that 10 of course is minyan which is a legal congregation for the Jewish believers who understand that. And so I believe that the story of the 10 virgins is actually a representation of the believers a congregation of the church if you will. And that those were all representative of us. You see the virgin there were all called and invited and could qualify if you will to be the bride. But yet not all were ready and so some of those that were you know that tried to get in could not enter in because the Lord said “I never knew you.” You see that the Lord was not saying that He did recognize them it was just that they were not known by Him. They had not had that intimate time with Him.
Sid: Is…when people read your book or hear this teaching what happens to their intimacy with the Lord.
Rebecca: Well, it begins to really I think shake the foundations because it’s actually an awakening for them. It’s almost like becoming born again because you begin to see things…
Sid: Woops we’re out of time.

Sid: Glenda I asked you when we ran out of time yesterday some things God’s shown you about nations for the future; just tell me one thing.
Glenda: Nations are going to get an opportunity to accept Jesus. The gospels going to be more powerful signs and wonders being used in the Middle East and around the world, but it’s going to take signs and wonders the Lord showed me there’s no other way. Because the Lord is going… He wants to be lifted up. He said “If I be lifted up from the earth I’ll draw all men to me.” And the Lord told me it’s only going come through signs and wonders.
Sid: Well do you believe that He’s expanding our ministry so rapidly especially in the Middle East is because that’s what we equip Christians to do?
Glenda: That’s right, that’s right just like the Lord showed me last night when I was praying for today He said that “If they would read that book of my aunts and believe every world of it anointing will fall on them and they will be able to do something’s in that book. Even greater things Jesus said that we would do.” I believe your ministry is about to do greater works like Jesus said and that’s what he’s raised up you up for these last days.
Sid: You know if you had an experience, well it’s something that I don’t think you really wanted but you knew that God wanted you to have this experience for the last days and that was in 1979. You had a visit to hell.
Glenda: Yes.
Sid: Tell me some of the things you observed.
Glenda: Well, an angel came and took me to hell and I wasn’t… he didn’t tell me he was taking me to hell, he just took my hand and we were all at once over this real dark river. And when we got out in the middle we fell, I started going down, down, down. And when I got… I saw the mouth of hell. And I started descending down with him and I wouldn’t let go of him I was so terrified I couldn’t hardly stand the smell of it. And I asked him “Where are we?” And he said “We are in the center, the belly of earth, and that was the Jordan River we crossed. People that aren’t ready for heaven and are going to hell when they get out there they fall and devils take them down to the bottomless pit. When you get down there there’s no floor under you and you see that it’s bottomless but yet you like in midair and the smell was so bad I couldn’t stand it. And the first person I saw was a famous singer that had just died.
Sid: Who was that?
Glenda: Elvis Presley.
Sid: In hell?
Glenda: In hell and I told the angel, the angel spoke to me real sharply and said real sharply, “Why do you marvel at him?” And I said “Because I know him and I said I’m sorry I know of him.” And I said “Everybody said he went to heaven.” And he said “Well, you know the truth now and you must tell people.” And I said “They will not believe me!” And he said “It doesn’t matter if people believe you still have a commandment to do.” And then I saw, and he was tormented, and he looked exactly as he did on earth, he looked the same age when he died and everything. And the angel let me know that when you die up here when you’re going to hell you remain that same look in hell, it’s totally opposite of heaven. Then I saw like lava coming down through the middle and it was burning people and it was so hot and I heard an explosion and the angel told me said “Every time a volcano explodes its hell enlarging her mouth to receive the people.” And so that lava kept coming and burning them and they’re not even in the lake of fire yet. But that lava burns them, and oh it stinks down there. I’d seen rich people, I saw Hitler, I just seen people that were famous up here and rich people, and I’d seen presidents and a…
Sid: Tell me one president that you saw?
Glenda: One of the Presidents I saw if I’m able to speak it God says speak it was Kennedy.
Sid: Hm.
Glenda: And I just started weeping and weeping and weeping, and they were a lot of them were cursing God because they were down there. And I saw people that were rapist and I knew that they were rapist because I have discernment and I could tell. Not far from the rapist was the one he raped and murdered. And people will say “Well, there in a better place,” but if they’re not ready to go they both go there. And the rapist was so wanting what fed his flesh was even greater the temptation and he couldn’t do anything about it. There was dope addicts and they wanted dope, more dope screaming out for it and they could not get it. The angel told me the one that could deliver all of them they denied so they have to go through eternity like this. If you die with a talent and you’re in hell you’re going to… Elvis was singing “Amazing Grace” there was no anointing on it and nobody was asking wanting him to do requests of his song. Everything in hell is what they were called to do. I saw preachers preaching and they had no anointing, and they didn’t want to preach but they had to preach; “the gifts and calling of God is without repentance.” I sat down I do not ever want to come down here again and I was just crying and crying and it was so real Sid…
Sid: Glenda, I have to ask you this “Were they in constant torment 24-7 the people?”
Glenda: Yes, and it’ll never stop ever and there were congregations stopping their ears because of preachers, pastors, evangelists that went down there had to preach the truth. And for the first time these congregations they didn’t want to hear the truth but they’re going to have to hear it through eternity. And angel told me I said “Why are they preaching down here?” And I’ve had people tell me “Oh, there’s no preaching in hell.” I said and I asked Jesus and He said “Tell them I went there and preached.” And He had to preach to the fallen angels. And He’s got preachers preaching and then He reminded me of David. “David said “If I cannot get away from God, if I descend into hell He’s there.” Well God’s not there but His word being preached because God is going to… if you don’t want Him up here you’re going to hear about Him all through eternity.
Sid: But there is no hope when someone is in hell.
Glenda: No, no and I don’t care what ministers or churches try to say that they can buy you out of hell or they can do this. You don’t have to believe me but ask God to show you hell and I know that He will. And when the angel finally brought me back I was crying. And I said “Why did I have to go there?” And he said “Because the Lord wanted to teach you and give you love and love wants to win souls.” And so I started crying and I couldn’t tell anybody about my visit for a longtime. I saw people with cancer there was no medicine for them, no pain killers nothing and they smell so bad they couldn’t even stand themselves. And they have to be like that through eternity. I saw tormentors like Jesus said in the word, “Go turn them, cast them out into outer darkness and turn them over to their tormentors.” And I saw devils biting people, just taking hunks of their flesh and it would come back and they would bleed and they would scream blood curdling screams that no Hollywood people could ever imitate it. Oh it was horrible…
Sid: Oh Glenda I’m sorry we’re out of time right now. But I want you tell about your experience of going to heaven tomorrow and the revelation God gave you in reference to faith. Now God has given her revelations on how to hear God’s voice….

Sid: Sid Roth back with Apostle Guillermo Maldonado and Guillermo there’s a subject not too many people talk about but it’s so important and that is “Why people have hardened hearts? What is a hardened heart, what’s the evidence of a hardened heart?
Guillermo: Sid the hardened heart is a heart that doesn’t hear, that doesn’t perceive, doesn’t sense, and doesn’t feel in the Spirit realm on spiritual matters. In other words, a hardened heart is a person that can be in the presence of God everybody else is being touched and crying and weeping but that person is totally doesn’t perceive the presence, doesn’t perceive and I’m been in services and I ministered to people and I see people under the power healed and delivered and those people don’t feel anything. And one of the example in the Bible is Jacob when he was running from his brother and he said “He had an encounter with the presence of God and at the end he goes the presence of God was here and I didn’t know it.” In other words is it possible to be where the presence is and not feel it? Yes, it’s possible, when? When your heart is hardened and why the heart is hardened and those people that don’t know what the heart is in very simple terms if your listeners if a heart is the seat of the presence of God it’s where God lives. If you don’t know Jesus well God is not the center, your heart is not the center. But if you know Jesus any time you recognize that Jesus is the Lord and Savior Jesus comes into your heart. God has 2 thrones one in heaven and one on earth. In heaven is where he lives but on earth it’s by the Holy Spirit lives in our heart and our spirit.
Sid: So you’re not talking about a physical heart you’re talking about the Spirit of God’s resting place in our own spirit or the Bible uses the term heart.
Guillermo: Yeah, in other words its synonym the Bible where it talks about heart they want to talk about Spirit it’s the same thing. The man we’re spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body.
Sid: But there are so many people that are Spirit-filled they speak in tongues, they love Jesus but they have this hardened heart what can they do about it?
Guillermo: Yeah because it’s not about any denomination any person a Spirit-filled person can have a hardened heart. And let me tell you the causes of it because many people can have it and they say “Well I don’t have it.” Well first of all the Bible talks about Hebrews that a continuous sin hardened the heart. Two…
Sid: No no no let me interject something. There are so many Christians today addicted to pornography; I said Christians I’m not saying non-believers. There’s so many Christians addicted and you know what they don’t see anything wrong with it. I don’t understand it, I don’t get it Guillermo!
Guillermo: And yeah the thing is Sid when you don’t call sin sin and you call it issue like a lot of people in church call it today you will not repent you will not see anything wrong with it; that’s the reason we must speak truth. When we speak truth and we preach against sin we are going to lead the people and where conviction of the Spirit will come. So what we do is one of the things that hardened the heart is continued sin. If you are doing pornography continually well, that will harden your heart. 2nd: is holding an offense, offenses what I mean it’s an offense. Well offenses people get offended for anything and the moment a hardened heart will eventually when you get offended your heart is hardened. 3: emotional wounds and 4: disobeying the voice of God.
Sid: Excuse me what do you mean by emotional wounds?
Guillermo: Okay emotional wounds like unforgiveness, rejection, guilt, there’s some people that for example they been hurt for so long that the heart develops like callouses and in such a way that for them that emotional unforgiveness, guilt, rejection is so part of them that their heart is totally covered with flesh and that’s the reason they need a circumcision of the heart. So and that’s one of the things that brings a hardened heart. And 4th I would say disobeying the voice of God. The moment many believers that are listening to me and God has spoken to you about something specifically sow a seed or speak to a person about Jesus anything and you have disobeyed and you notice that God is not speaking to you any more he said “Why?” Because you have disobeyed God and your heart become God when you disobeyed His voice. And lastly is #5 which is unbelief. There’s so many times people struggling with unbelief and the Bible calls it an evil heart of unbelief. And this will causes the people of Israel they did not get into the promise land because they’re heart was hardened with unbelief. So unbelief will harden your heart. So if we see the conscious of it and so why? And some people say there are some of the things that harden my heart so the question is what are the findings of a hardened heart, if you know, if you’re listening to me now and you’re saying “Pastor I don’t feel the presence, I feel like I lost the fire for God, I lost the passion for souls, I lost the passion for prayer, there’s something that is off in me maybe my heart. I’ve been in the services where the presence of God and I don’t feel anything and other people are crying and weeping, I’m going to tell you, I’m going to tell you exactly…
Sid: Let me throw a couple more symptoms that are coming to mind “I don’t read the Bible anymore because I’ve read it for so many years I don’t get anything out of it anymore,” that’s a hardened heart.
Guillermo: Yeah there you go that’s what I’m saying when you go up to the scriptures in so many areas so if you listening to me can you tell me Apostle can you give me some signs in a hardened heart. If you have it a hardened heart doesn’t feel God’s presence that’s one of the signs. And I’ll just give you one of the examples in the Bible where Jacob did not feel the presence of God. So in number 2: A hardened heart doesn’t allow faith to flow. When a person’s heart is hardened faith is not flowing. Number 3: A hardened heart moves from commitment to wishful thinking. In other words one of the first signs of a hardened heart is that they pull their commitment in what they’re doing for God in tithing and bringing an offering to God they stop giving and if they serving they stop serving, they pulling their commitment and their family and their finances in. And you see because a lot of people don’t give in church today Sid because they’ve been burned out because they told them and they used that money and they never used the money where they told them and they said “No, I’m not going to give to God.” What are they saying “Your heart is getting hardened because you saw somebody abuse your trust, somebody had promised something and didn’t do what they promised.” So Number 4: A hardened heart rebels against God. What I’m saying rebels against God is you see a person who has a hardened heart you will see him give you 20 excuses why not to go and congregate and attend church. He will give you 10 excuses for not to give and he will blame somebody else. And I will say that indifference and a critical spirit are one of the signs of a hardened heart. When a person is indifference to the presence there is indifference to the word and preaching and is very dangerous.
Sid: Okay you have stepped on the toes of a number of our listeners right now what do they do about it.
Guillermo: Yes, it is very very important to say Sid that we must give solution when the Bible… there’s consequences when if we keep that hardness of heart, that’s the reason we must do something about it. And first of all the Bible promises that if you don’t change the hardened heart calamity will come suddenly in your life. That’s what the scripture said and brokenness sometimes without remedy. What I’m saying by that we must do something and this is very important in what I’m going to get to. The cure for the hardened heart is the circumcision of the heart. What do you mean the circumcision of the heart? We must allow we must renounce our trust in our fallen nature and begin to trust completely in the divine grace of God.
Sid: That sounds like a definition of faith.
Guillermo: Yes, that’s what it is we must get to God and say “God my heart is hardened and we of course Sid we must repent and of course there’s another word that we don’t used today and we don’t use the word repentance because we think “Well, I’m not going to do that.” Well, we must repent because unforgiveness is a sin, pornography is a sin, if there is something in our life we must repent of that sin and the moment we repent we have to allow God and say “I want you to circumcise my heart, I want You to take the areas where I have resisted God.” Because a hardened heart resists God and we have God I want You to do whatever You need to do and surrender the areas where my heart is hardened. And from that moment on I can see the Spirit of God following on many people right now where the heart is being circumcised. And you will see if you allow me you tell me when I can pray for the people.
Sid: Right now you can.
Guillermo: Okay, there’s people that are listening to me now that are saying “I know I’ve got those signs of a hardened heart and I really want to be changed. I don’t want to continue that way because a hardened heart can take you the worse places. So number one let me pray. Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ there’s many people they’re good Christians, they speak in tongues, their filled with the Spirit but they don’t feel the presence, they don’t want to read the Bible, they don’t want to follow God, they don’t want to seek God and right now I pray for your power and your presence to come in their heart. And Father I lead them into repentance if you see any area of your life you say “Pastor I really, I know that sin can harden your heart and right now I release that conviction Holy Spirit release that conviction in the hearts of them to repent and to renounce of their sin.” And right now Lord circumcise their heart bring the change in the people and now as a result Jesus release signs, miracles in their body, finances, right now I declare that your body is healed if you were sick because your heart changed. Right now you are healed arthritis people with arthritis are being healed, people with mental condition are being delivered, schizophrenia are being delivered because you changed your heart in Jesus mighty name be delivered, changed by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Sid: Amen. Tell me about where you were teaching on this subject and there were 250 healings and deliverances in one meeting.
Guillermo: Yes, the state of the heart will be the state of your life. What do I mean by that? If your heart is corrupted your life will be corrupted. If your life are full of forgiveness your heart is forgiveness have forgiveness you will have forgiveness in your life. So if you don’t like the state of your life you need to change your heart. So one time the Lord said to me “I’m going to show you how sickness and diseases and oppression in the mind of My people are connected to the state of the heart. So I called the people and I start talking about offenses and unforgiveness and I said “I’m going to lead you in a prayer of repentance because people don’t believe on forgiveness. Well doctor said it’s not sin, its sin the violation of the law of God. God said “If you don’t forgive I don’t forgive you.” So I lead the people into forgiveness whoever hurt them and the moment they forgave the miracles, the healing on the people. I mean you’re talking about arthritis, diabetes, heart condition they ran about 250 people I saw it and they said “Oh, the moment I forgave I was healed.” And many people never connect the condition of the heart with the condition of the finances. Many people said “When you prayed I got a breakthrough in my finances.” And so I’m talking to the listeners right now and your complaining about your finances, your marriage and you say “Pastor I don’t know what it is,” check your heart if your heart is hardened you won’t be able to have a breakthrough. What’s the reason for this program? To tell you yes, you can do it, yes we can pray, yes God but you must recognize the areas that you need to change and let the Holy Spirit fall on your and change your heart.
Sid: You know someone said, a smart man, “A definition of insanity keep doing things the same way and except different results.” Well rather than walking in a big circle the way my Jewish people did in the wilderness for 40 years when you were 1 week away from the promise land. I’m going to tell you something this brand new book by Guillermo Maldonado “Supernatural Transformation” subtitled “Change Your Heart into God’s Heart.” There are prayers he teaches in the book but then he has prayers for you to pray and these are supernatural prayers that will give you that brand new beginning that fresh start. And then the 2 CD’s Guillermo the presence of God is so strong on the series that is called “A Broken Heart Surrender to God.” Are you seeing transformation going on in your congregation when you’ve taught on these areas?
Guillermo: Not only that Sid is that I’ve seen it all over the world remember my books are all over the world. I can see people that when they read the first chapter they started weeping and crying. And that moment they had an encounter with the presence of God and their life will change. And you know there’s something that the listeners need to listen to this what I’m going to say “Change is not change until there’s a change.” And I can see 100’s of people that have told me “I just read 2 chapters and the moment I read 3rd chapter something happened to my heart I was totally changed.” Like I said “The reason I put supernatural transformation is because information is supernatural it has to be done circumcised by the Holy Spirit. Areas in our life that we’ve been struggling for so long trying to do the same thing and we don’t see any change; but the moment you read this book it will tell you how to do it and I always lead the people into the area of being activated and being led into a prayer where they can be set free and you can be one of those persons.
Sid: And I have to tell you God’s raised up Guillermo to teach on every aspect of the Bible and they’re outstanding teachings but as far as I’m concerned this is the most important teaching he has ever done….

Sid: As regular listeners know I interviewed several months ago Hal Lindsey. I normally do not ask guest to come back as quickly as I did with Hal but I recently got a hold of his video “Evidence of the End Time.” And he has put together the last days scenario in such an articulate fashion putting things together that very few people have seen at all but the whole thing put together. Hal Lindsey tell me why you did this particular teaching video?
Hal: Well I just felt that things are coming together in such a rapid fashion. Things that I’ve seen that the exact scenario that I’ve seen in prophecy for over 40 years; that it was time to really put these things together all in one place and try to show people that though we don’t know the day or the hour which means the exact time we are commanded to know the generation or the general time. And I really believe that we’re in it and rapidly moving toward the events that will lead to the second coming of Christ.
Sid: Now you talk a lot about Daniel and what he had to say in Daniel 12 about what would happen about understanding the Bible would you explain that?
Hal: Yeah, Daniel probably received more volume of prophecy than any other single man in the Bible. And toward the end of life and when he had received what was would be the last installment God gave him he was confounded. He appealed to God to show him the meaning of all of the things he had been revealed to; that had been revealed to him. And God told him to go his way and in verse 9 he said… in verse 8 Daniel said “As for me I heard but I couldn’t understand so I said ‘My Lord what would be the outcome of these events?’” And He said “Go your way Daniel because these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time, many will be purged and purified and refined but the wicked will not understand, but those that have insight will understand” (Because I believe he’s talking about the believer with a gift and the Holy Spirit showing him). He uses a Hebrew verb concealed and concealed and filled up that really would mean today encrypt or encode these things until the end time. You know I studied that and I remember I was writing kind of a commentary on the book of Revelation that I call “A New World Coming.” And I begged God I said “Lord there are many symbols in the book of Revelation that are not explained anywhere else in the Bible as some of them are.” I said “Help me to understand these things.” And so as I was mulling this over the words of Daniel came to me and I realized that there were some things in the book of Revelation that would not be understood until the time they began to unravel. And then the Holy Spirit caused me to think of the times the Apostle John said over and over and over “I looked and I saw and I heard.” In fact, I saw that at the beginning of every new revelation that God got in the book of Revelation he used the Greek words “I looked, I saw and I heard” that indicated that he was an eyewitness of what he was about to reveal. In fact, Jesus commanded him in the first chapter “Write only what you saw and heard.” So how could a 1st Century man be a witness to events that haven’t happened yet?” And then I realized God must have time traveled him up to the end time and let him actually see the horrific events particularly those that had to do with global war and had him witness that. So how could a 1st century man describe something in lets say the 21st century and all of the marvels of science and technology? How could he explain an inter-continental ballistic missile? How could he describe a nuclear explosion? How could he describe the modern things that we have in warfare? He would have to say “I looked and I saw and it looked like and use a vocabulary of the 1st century to try to describe what’s going on today. And I believe that’s exactly what’s happening today. In fact, this is what’s going on with many of the prophets the symbols they used, the way that they saw to describe them where in terms of phenomenon with which they were familiar in there times.
Sid: You know you made a statement to me before we went on the air you said “You know Sid I do my live show on television on a one day delayed basis and that’s a problem because one day things are happening so rapidly it creates a problem for me.
Hal: Isn’t that amazing! But that’s what’s happening things are happening so fast.
Sid: So listen, are you going to be alive in these last time events that you talk about in your video?
Hal: Well if I have my life expediency my father died when he was 95, and I’m now 74. If I live my normal projected life expediency I certainly believe I’ll be alive when all of this comes to being fulfilled.
Sid: I mean after devoting and I’m reminded from the last time I interviewed you is that as a young child you were on your Aunts knee so to speak, and rather than watching cartoons to kind of keep you busy she did something very unique she read the book of revelation to you. But I believe that she was planting seed inside of you for such a time as this.
Hal: I know that all of my relatives could not understand why she did this she must have read the book of revelation to me over and over maybe 50 – 60 times. My mother said that even though I was extremely young I would sit there with rapt attention. (Laughing)
Sid: Hm.
Hal: Of course I didn’t become a believer until I was 25 years old so I believe she did plant seeds that never were taken away.
Sid: Well, I was a little slower I didn’t become a believer until I was 30 years old. But you know as you’re saying that I’m reminded in the book of Revelations that “Blessed is he who… (what does it say) who hears these words.”
Hal: Hm, hm.
Sid: So you were being blessed at such a young age. (Laughing)
Hal: Yeah, I didn’t know it my parents.
Sid: Well, you know when the thing that amazing me Hal is not how we see things today the thing that amazes me is before Israel was a modern day nation saints of old would read the scriptures and they would say “I know that Israel will be restored and the Jews will return there.” You know it’s easy to say that today when we read it, but there were people that read those scriptures and believed that God was going to do it literally even though it looked impossible.
Hal: Yes they were. Beginning at the end of the 1700’s there was a revival actually taking prophecy literally. And that’s when understanding of prophecy really began. But it wasn’t until I did a video called the “Late Great 20th Century” in which I showed that it clearly that it was the 20th century where prophesy came into its own. Where for the first time really great scholars began to study prophesy and take it literally and see it unfolding. But the real key was when Israel became a nation again that’s when everything started to rumble and fit together.
Sid: It’s almost like the time clock really started going really fast the moment Israel became a nation.
Hal: A fast track started with their becoming a nation it really did.
Sid: Alright out of curiosity there seems to be a lot of confusion on this issue, but based on your study of scripture who is a Jew?
Hal: I believe that it’s a term that’s kind of generally thrown around today, but I believe as the Bible understands it it’s the true descendants physically of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And I would say that a Jew really embraces all of the descendants of the 12 tribes.
Sid: Based on my understanding of scripture for sure. And Israel being a modern day nation and the connection between the USA and Israel how important is that for the USA?
Hal: You know I think personally that one of the reasons we’ve survived some awful mistakes in foreign policy and we’ve been preserved in a miraculous way is because we have been a haven for the Jew. We’ve been a place where they could be protected I think that plus the fact that we’re a missionary base for the world is probably the only reason we still survive.
Sid: Well in your opinion will the United States continue to be a friend of Israel? Will the United States continue to be a safe haven for Jews?
Hal: Well, there’s something very disturbing to me that I saw early in my study of prophecy and that is as you study the spheres of political power that will exist just shortly before the return of Christ. The leader of the west is not the United States or any power like that. The leader of the west would revive, form the Roman Empire. And so I believe that this is something of somehow the United States is going to have to fall.
Sid: Well, you know my spin on that Hal is that we violated every commandment that God has and maybe a few extra. And the only hair that’s holding the blessings of God is our connection with Israel.
Hal: I really believe that. I think that if we turn our back on Israel and there are indications that this is taking place, we turn our back on Israel this thing in the name of being even handed to forget justice I believe the United States will fall.
Sid: I’m sorry we’re out of time.
