SID: Sid Roth here with Steve Solomon. So what happens when a Jewish guy that’s deeply involved in mysticism, the occult, new age, trying to find what were you trying to find, what were you searching for Steve?

STEVE: You know there had to be more to life than just what I was living, there was something out there and I had, there was something drawing me to something, there had to be something more.

SID: All right , you asked two questions, repeat the questions and tell me what happened. Steve, okay, “Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, are you real, are you out there?” “Is Jesus Christ who he says he is?” Suddenly, remember now for months I had been trying to find a supernatural experience, trying to have something happen, and nothing worked. Suddenly when I asked those two questions simultaneously, I know now what it was, I felt myself lifted out of my body, I felt myself, I know now my soul lifted out, and I saw simultaneously, now the room is dark, all the lights are out, a ball of fire, it looked just like the setting sun, amber in color, real bright, and a right hand came out from the center of this fire across the room, probably about forty feet away, across the room, touched me on my head, pushed my head straight back, and then I heard an audible voice and He said, “Yes I am, what you are doing is wrong, stop and follow Me.”

SID: Well did you just say, ignore it or what did you do with this.

STEVE: No, I was stunned. Two things, I didn’t know who to tell, I knew that I asked if God was alive, the God of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, my forefathers, and is Jesus Christ is who he says he is. I got one, “Yes I am, stop what you are doing, and follow me.” I totally stopped what I was doing, all the trying to meditate and all that stuff, I totally stopped, I went home, I didn’t tell anyone because, number one I didn’t know of any Jews who believed in Jesus of Nazareth as being the Son of God, I knew none. I never heard of this that any Jews did believe. And my wife had purchased a Bible when we were going through our marital problems, she had purchased a Bible and so secretly I would take her Bible and start reading the Bible, Old and New Testament behind her back for a few weeks and it was phenomenal. The words just like they were alive, they came off the page. You know I was raised you know and we in Massachusetts there were Jewish sections and Irish sections, and my Irish friends were named John and Matthew you see, and Mark, I thought those were Irish names, you know. They are Jewish names. You know guys in the New Testament like Matthew, you know, Mark, John, all these guys were Jews, and the word of God came alive to me Sid. I read everything, it was phenomenal.

SID: Well did you leave your wife anyway?

STEVE: No, I started preaching to my wife a couple of weeks later. I said you know Sid How did she take this?

STEVE: Not good at first, I said Diane we need to start living for the Lord, and she said, and she said to herself, what does this Jew know about my Jesus anyway? And so she found out that I knew more than what she, you know I told her, I have had an experience with Jesus, she came back to the Lord and the first thing the Lord did, the first thing, he gave us a phenomenal love for each other which stays even to this day and it has been thirty eight years.

SID: A funny story wit your mother-in-law, tell me that?

STEVE: Well, you know my mother-in-law, you know she went to the Four Square Church in Orlando, that’s where Diane got saved, in Orlando, and my mother-in-law was a life-long charter member of that church, she got saved after Diane went to that church as a child with a neighbor, now listen, and once in a while she would say, now Steve, Jesus is your Messiah, and it just wouldn’t mean anything to me, you know, and then she would turn to Diane and go, now Diane you know better, you are a backslider and you know better, but the first person I publicly told other than my wife, we would have dinner at my mother-in-laws house all the time, and then one night we left, I walked back into the door and said Ma I want to tell you something and she goes what? I said Jesus is who you say he is. And I turned around and walked out and she was stunned. And she came to find out that I was; that I had really had an experience with God.

SID: Talk about people being happy, can you imagine how happy his mother-in-law was, how happy his wife is now, how happy he is, how happy his children are, I mean his whole life was transformed, you want to know what happy is? The happiest music I have ever heard is on this CD, River Walk DNA, and there is a song, it is my favorite, it is called River of Life, do you like that?

STEVE: I love it.

SID: Because wherever the river goes, There is healing, let’s hear a selection.

SID: Hello, Sid Roth, welcome to my world where it is naturally supernatural. Are we going to have a show today. It started with a letter, let me read it to you. Dear Sid, last night I purchased a live CD made at my church, River Walk Fellowship in Ft. Worth, Texas. I brought it home and started listening to it. Out of the blue I plainly heard, “send this to Sid Roth.” I don’t know why but I am sending you this CD. What is really amazing is many times while worshipping I have seen things like trap doors in the ceiling opening up like the pen was pulled with the door falling open and what looked like a ladder of DNA falling out of the ceiling to the floor, and I heard, “You can come up if you want.” So I did. I saw these ladders of DNA falling all over the building; I saw many people, not angels, ascending and descending. I did this myself many times getting revelation about many things but mostly about Jesus. He loves to take our hands and dance with us; he has no worries about anything and just smiles and dances. He set me free with this. This letter goes on Steve Solomon, about people are frozen to the floor; they are having the most amazing visitations. You have a type of music and there is a Hebrew word, pronounce this word shigionath, what does that mean?

STEVE: Well it is from Habakkuk 3:1 and it is a prayer of Habakkuk set to shigionath. And the Hebrew means to “set the loud, enthusiastic, triumphal music” and it has got a dual meaning, “to cry aloud against sin.” Well before we get to some of this music, and this music is so supernatural, this is happening to so many people at his congregation, it is kind of a “in your face” music you know, call I call it that?

STEVE: It’s exactly, that’s what the Lord told me to do eight years ago, get the music in their face.

SID: Tell me about your Jewish background, you grandfather founded a synagogue.

STEVE: Yes, my mother’s father, they were founders of a conservative synagogue in Boston, Mass, and then my parents in the early 19 – well the mid-1950’s started a reform synagogue in Framingham, Massachusetts, Temple Beth Am, and so I was raised, born to a Jewish family, and raised in the Jewish faith, Bar Mitzvahed at age 13.

SID: But when you were very young you had a heavenly visitation, tell me about that.

STEVE: Sid, we lived on 6 Ruth Drive, in Framingham, Mass.

SID: Sounds Jewish to me.

STEVE: It sounds Jewish; it is a real Jewish area, 6 Ruth Drive, and one night I went to bed and I remember I was six years of age, and while I was sleeping I went, and a six-year-old doesn’t know these kind of things, now looking back I figured it out, but I heard first of all a voice calling my name three times, Steven, Steven, Steven. And I was in like a big room with big columns like a mansion, and I would look around and I heard my voice, and I said to myself, that’s not my Dad and a voice would say, “that’s the voice of your Father.” And I said “That’s not my Dad he is in the next room, it doesn’t sound like him.” And the voice said again, “That’s the voice of your Father.” And I didn’t understand what that was but I remembered it all my life until when Jesus appeared to me in 1974 when I was 24 years of age.

SID: Let’s take you back just a little bit; you are married, you are successful, what did you have, did you have your own band?

STEVE: Yeah, we worked in the Disney World area, I graduated University of Central Florida in 1972 with a 4 year degree, but I was making more money working in the bands and we were real successful in the Orlando, Disney area.

SID: So your wife is pregnant, she is expecting and you decided to leave her?

STEVE: Well isn’t that crazy?

SID: Yeah.

STEVE: That’s what she said. It is really crazy. It’s one thing to… People fall out of love, that happens, but to not pay attention to your children, not care about them, something is wrong. And what was wrong was that a guy in the band got invoked in transcendental meditation and I didn’t go to all the courses, id didn’t want to pay all that money so I just bought the books on it so I started, because I was looking for something Sid, something, there was something about life, I was 23, 24 years of age, making a lot of money, successful, we owned our own home, but there was something missing in my life. And I started looking, and I wanted to find what that was. And the more I got into the study of the eastern religion and the occult kind of stuff; I just became a different person. And we decided, Diane was expecting the baby in November of 1974, we decided that summer that when the baby came we would just leave and go our separate ways. She turned to me one day, now Diane was saved when she was four years of age, and was filled with the Spirit of God, and she said to me one day but she was backslidden, she said she had to backslid to meet me, she said get those books out of my house or I am going to burn them and send them back to hell where they came from. Well as a Jew I didn’t –

SID: So did you burn them?

STEVE: No, but I put them in the back of my car, you know I didn’t believe, I put them in the back of my car, I put them in the trunk of my car, I got them out of the house. And I remember that specifically.

SID: You had a very defining moment where you were by yourself and something, just like when you were a little child something very supernatural happened, tell me about this.

STEVE: Here is what happened, the band was playing at the Royal Plaza Hotel, typically after the nine o’clock set I would go into a banquet room and try to meditate, turn the lights out, and I was still trying to meditate and get in touch with God, and nothing ever happened. All the thing I read, I had not one supernatural experience. I was looking for something supernatural, and this one night sitting in the chair in this dark room, no lights on, here is the prayer I prayed, here is what I said. I said, “Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, are you real, are you out there?” And then for some strange reason I went on and I said, “Is Jesus Christ who he says he is?” Suddenly…

SID: Why did you say that?

STEVE: I don’t know.

SID: I mean that is not what a nice Jewish boy does that is ready to leave his wife and almost baby.

STEVE: No, just the sovereign providential God had a plan for my life regardless of what I wanted to do with my life, he was intervening in my life.

SID: Okay, so you asked this question.

STEVE: I asked this question.

SID: And the question again?

STEVE: “Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, are you real, are you out there?”

SID: Right, a fair question.

STEVE: Yeah that’s a good question. “Is Jesus Christ who he says he is?”

SID: Hold that thought. We are going to be right back after this word.

SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Matt Sorger, and Matt you have got to tell me about the time you bumped into two angels.

MATT: Well Sid, this was right before we started traveling in our prophetic healing ministry. The Lord had commissioned two angels to my life and ministry, to help me do what God had called me to do. I was a pastor at the time; it was on a Monday morning, we were counting the Sunday morning offering. Right in the middle of it God speaks to me and says, “Get up and start to dance right now.”

SID: what has that got to do with counting the offering?

MATT: It has nothing to do with counting the offering. It has nothing, and my natural mind says this doesn’t make sense, but it came from down in here where the Holy Spirit lives and it was rising up and God said, “You have to do this.” So I pushed the money aside, stood up in the middle of the room started dancing around just in worship to God and as I did, there were two secretaries also sitting in the room. Now originally when they saw me do this they started laughing, until the glory cloud came in to the room.

SID: Could you feel it, could you see it?

MATT: It was a tangible, such a strong tangible substance of the presence of God, I didn’t physically see it but you could physically feel it all around. It came into the room, came over me, when it came over on top of me my body hit the floor, I was thrown to the ground physically, my spirit was caught up in to visions, this visitation lasted the whole day, eventually I was able to sit up on the floor, by this time that glory had covered the whole room and as it came over the two secretaries, literally threw them out of their chairs onto the floor, they had no choice.

SID: So it wasn’t just you that had the experience?

MATT: It wasn’t just me, the whole room came under the influence of this glory, it was the glory of God. And as I was sitting on the floor and they are, the ladies are laying on the floor as well, I start to feel these waves of God’s glory going over my head, and suddenly my spiritual vision is open, and God allows me to see into the invisible realm, and I sense behind me an angel standing right behind me, and I would sense it’s wings enfold around me and every time it would a wave of glory would go over my head crash on the two ladies and their bodies would physically bounce off of the floor as the glory of God would hit them. And as I am feeling these waves, suddenly I become aware of the second angel standing over to my right side, and angelic presence there, two angels there now in the room, one behind me and one over to my right, and the voice of God speaks so clearly to me and says, “Matt, the angel standing behind you is an angel of revival, and the angel standing to your right is an angel of miracles, and I commission them today into your life and ministry, they will travel with you, they will go with you wherever you go to help you do what I have called you to do.” And that was just a few months before we started really praying for the sick and seeing outbreaks of the Holy Spirit happen.

SID: Tell me about that person with MS.

MATT: Oh this was phenomenal; this lady had come to one of our services, she had such a severe case of MS she was hospitalized, almost completely paralyzed by it, she came into the service that night and she said to her children, “Tonight is my night for a miracle.” And as she was in the worship time before any person was even involved in this, she was lifting up her hands and worshipping God.

SID: You know something Matt, the atmosphere is changing here in the studio.

MATT: Feel that? It is.

SID: Have your angels shown up?

MATT: I think so, I feel it, yeah. She lifted up her hands see because people are getting faith to receive healing, as she was in worship, had nothing to do with me, God was already performing the miracle she was feeling a tingling on the back of her head, then God speaks to me, “Matt, I am going to heal women with chronic fatigue and MS in their bodies. I call it out, the lady comes forward. God says to me, “Bring her on the platform because that is where I am.” As she stood on the platform the glory of God overshadowed her body without anybody touching her, it was not man, it was God doing this, Holy Spirit touched her, her body fell backwards under the power of God and as she is laying on the floor the back of her head goes on fire, she feels this burning heat and she actually feels the hand reach into the back of her head and she could feel the inside of her head, her brain moving around on the inside, when she gets off the floor every trace of MS is completely gone out of her body. Totally healed, heaviness gone, pain gone, every symptom gone, and I saw –

SID: Is this unusual for someone to feel surgery going on inside of them?

MATT: I think this was an extreme, this was an extreme healing that God, an extreme miracle that God was doing. Because this woman had a severe, sever case of MS. And it was very supernatural. I saw her two years later still totally healed, better than before, new haircut, new clothes, new job, she said to me, “Matt when God healed me he not only healed me physically, he gave me a new job, gave my life a complete makeover.”

SID: Tell me about that woman with the mitro-valve problem.

MATT: The mitro, we had prayed for another lady at one of our conferences in New York where we host our Glory, Signs and Wonders, it was in that conference that the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “There is a woman with a heart condition, with the beating, and there was some specific things that God had given me about a heart condition, called it out, this woman comes forward to receive, she is standing at the altar, the power of God hits her, and then late she testifies of a total healing that happened in her heart.

SID: Well listen there is power in hearing this testimony and many that have heart problems are going to be healed right now, let’s go to the clip.

He laid his hands on me and I just went down under the power of the Lord. Receive that healing right there, receive that healing right there. (Tongues of the Holy Spirit) There it is. Thank you for a perfect rhythm in the heart, perfect rhythm in the heart, perfect rhythm. And then when he was beginning to preach again he told people they could go back to their seat but those who were still resting in the spirit could stay on the floor, I tried to get up and I couldn’t get off the floor, my hands and arms and legs would move and my head would pull up but my body was stuck to the floor so I just figured well God is not finished with me yet and I stayed there. And later on I did get up and I was a bit drunk in the Spirit, when I got up I was staggering. I had a very powerful encounter with the Lord at that time. So I was healed and I haven’t had symptoms since then.

SID: Sid Roth again with Matt Sorger and something has occurred during that video, the two angels that accompany Matt, tell me if I am wrong but I believe they are here right now.

MATT: They are here; I feel the glory and presence of God moving into this place.

SID: Pray, pray, pray now.

MATT: If you need healing in your body the power of God is here to heal you right now. Actually get up off of your seat, place your hand on the television screen, this anointing is tangible and transferable and there is actually angelic assignments being released through the airwaves right now. I can see even angels of the Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit coming into your living room, someone is watching from your kitchen right now, you have a television in your kitchen, the power of God is coming into your kitchen right now and you are being completely overwhelmed by the Spirit of God. I take authority in Jesus Name over that sickness in your body, there is somebody right now you are being healed of a tumor in your spine, in your lower back area there is a tumor that has been there in the back area, it is dissolving out of your back right now in Jesus Name. I take authority over the airwaves of every sickness, infirmity and oppression from the enemy in Jesus Name, loose healing into your body, I command sickness to go, pain to go, in the Name of Jesus. Father let that glory, Father I pray for a transferable glory to touch every person watching right now and that they would not only be healed but they would know who Jesus Christ is in their lives personally as their healer and savior and Lord, in Jesus Name. Father God I thank you for it right now in the Name of Jesus, every bit of sickness and pain and disease it leaves your body, back conditions, heart conditions, MS, multiple schorosis, chronic fatigue, women with chronic fatigue and MS in your body, fibramyaliga, we rebuke that out of your body, in Jesus Name, I command the fibramyalgia to leave, I command back conditions to be healed in the Name of Jesus I just say receive your miracle even if I don’t call it out God’s power is here to heal you.

SID: Matt, something just happened, someone’s ears just popped, you now can hear, and someone’s back has just been healed, and in your nose, you had difficulty breathing, allergies, clear in Jesus Name. Make Jesus your Lord; tell him you are sorry for your sins, ask him to live inside of you, be a minch, be real, make Jesus your Lord.

SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Matt Sorger, and Matt as a fourteen-year old boy saw a great miracle. His mother had an incurable illness, medicine, doctors, could not cure here and so as a last resort she tried God, had a major miracles, and Matt saw this. His whole life was transformed, he committed his life to God, but you did something very unusual, you would go into your room every night and listen to worship music. Why did you do that?

MATT: You now I think when Jesus made himself real to me something happened in my heart where I became very hungry for God very quickly.

SID: Did anyone tell you to go in your room and listen to did you have a lot of CD’s?

MATT: No, I had maybe one or two to start with, I had you know my little worship tape that I had gotten and I had some of the songs that they would play in church, and I just remember as a young person, Holy Spirit drawing me and feeling this supernatural pull to just get alone with God. So I would go in my bedroom, I would shut the door, I would put the worship music on and I would start to sing the worship songs and I would pray and I would feel nothing, I thought God where are you.

SID: So you stopped this probably after a week.

MATT: No.

SID: No!

MATT: No I pressed in even more I said God -

SID: This isn’t a natural thing Matt.

MATT: I was, you know what it was, it was supernatural hunger because I would experience God in a church meeting but then when I was alone I wouldn’t feel him, but I wanted to. I wanted to be as close as I could be. So I would just, every day I would sing, I would worship, and I remember I did this every day for about four months. This was when I was a teenager, every day for about four months for hours I would go in my room and worship, worship, worship, worship, worship, worship. And then one day and I remember it like a picture in my mind, I am standing there with my hands lifted up and it was like heaven opened up over me, I was singing a song I had sung a million times before, heaven opened up over me, the glory of God came into my room, the manifest tangible presence of God in the air around, I could physically feel him came over my body, filled the whole room around me, and it was like something in the spirit realm broke open, and from that moment forward I would say I entered into a relationship, an intimacy, with the reality of the person of the Holy Spirit.

SID: Now you told me that all you have to do is say the name Jesus and you are immediately in his presence.

MATT: Yeah, and that’s what began to happen, I became so open in the spirit that I would close my eyes and I would whisper the name of Jesus and as soon as my focus would go on him, I would feel the presence of the Holy Spirit come down over me and around me.

SID: Now you also told me you saw the miracle of your mother and you started praying for people and you didn’t see many results.

MATT: At first I didn’t see anything and that frustrated me, I would be praying for somebody, no healing, no change, and I was saying Lord God there has got to be – the same power that healed my mom when we first got saved, it is real, so we should be seeing it every day now still. And I remember the part of this process of pressing in after God was having a desire to be so close to him and then out of it suddenly things started to change, I remember I would pray for people and nothing would happen, but then all of a sudden it was like the glory, or the spirit of God, the glory was just overflowing in my life to the point where now it would start to touch other people outside of me. So I guess it increased to the point where you know it overflowed and then I would pray for somebody miracles started happening, and people started getting set free and I remember the first time somebody fell on the floor and people watching and they would be like why do people fall over, you know, what are you pushing them over? Let me tell you I was a teenage kid, I would gently put my hand on somebody and when that anointing started to flow and somebody fell on the floor it shocked me just as much as it surprised them. And I remember thinking wow, what is that? Cause it was new for me to see that kind of manifestation.

SID: Listen some of the miracles that are occurring under Matt’s just praying for people is phenomenal, tell me about that person without an ear and without an eardrum, you realize they can’t any doctor would tell you no eardrum, no ear, they are not going to hear, what happened?

MATT: Well over the last five years I would say, we have been seeing these miracles happen, probably thousands of them now, and there was in one service God said he was going to open up deaf ears. So we just started to pray in mass, Lord open up the deaf ears. And the Spirit of God started moving around this place, there was maybe a thousand people there, Holy Spirit started moving around and they brought, my team brought this young twelve-year-old girl up on the platform, cute little girl, long brown hair, as they pulled her hair back I could see she had no ears on the side of her head, just two little holes, and they said to me Matt, this young girl born with no ears, no eardrums, she is deaf from childbirth, she cannot hear. And suddenly the power of God came on her.

SID: Stop for one second. Did you kind of say, “Oh God, what’s going on,” did you inside?

MATT: when you look at it in the natural you know it is impossible, but at that moment I was in the spirit, I was not seeing with my natural eyes, I was looking with the eyes of the Spirit of God, and when you look with the eyes of the Spirit of God the impossible becomes possible, all the limitations are broken off. And there was a gift of faith operating in me at that moment, so I looked at this young girl and the power of God came on her, and instantly she started hearing a
popping on the inside of her head and both of her ears and her, the Lord reached in to her head and recreated eardrums on the inside of her head, popped her hearing open and she heard for the first time in her life.

SID: God has also give you an extraordinary gift of teaching and transferring of the anointing, which goes on in these CD’s we are making available, “Operating In Creative Miracles.” Are people operating in creative miracles that get this teaching?

MATT: Yes, and you know what, the awesome thing about the anointing it is tangible, transferable, people can catch it, and what happens is.

SID: Listen, you are going to catch a miracle in this next segment because I am going to turn Matt loose and Matt is going to turn the Holy Spirit loose, and guess what, you are going to – your goose is going to be cooked. Literally, if you don’t make Jesus your Lord because there is no other way, there is no, you want the real thing, then you must reach out to Jesus, you know I am talking to you, don’t go away.
