I've never expected
the supernatural.

God, He doesn't do
things like this.

This was not part of
my way of thinking.

This isn't something that
I would even believe

if someone had told me.

We were in a desperate
place in our marriage.

Our marriage was
very, very difficult

and it was full of
hurt and disappointment.

to a place where I didn't know
if I even wanted to go on.

So when you went to the
church, what happened?

Well, God did a miracle
for us in that place.

And as she walked by me

I could smell that same
sensation that you smell

when you're in a dental office

and they start
drilling your teeth

So, what was the miracle
that happened to you?

God gave us gold teeth.

Hold on, did you hear that?

God gave us gold teeth.

I should probably stop it here
and explain a few things.

You're probably wondering
who these people are.

Well, I can assure you
they aren't crazy

In fact, that's Aunt Patsy.

And that's Uncle Bob.

Now I'm not the type of person

who just believes
everything he hears

but when your own family

who you've known your whole life
and you know is on the up-and-up

tells you that, well,

this happened to them in church?

Let's just say
it makes you start

to question a few things.

So I began to wonder

if God put gold teeth
in somebody's mouth,

what else was He up to?

I decided to travel the
world to find out.

And let me tell you

if you think this is weird,

it's about to get a
whole lot weirder

Everyone, no matter who
you are or what you believe

has a kind of grid
of understanding.

Usually this grid is based on
your experience or upbringing.

My grid was pretty simple.

God can do miracles
if He wants to

but I never saw any so
they must be pretty rare.

God was kind of like
an invisible friend

whose greatest hits
happened a long time ago.

Back then people needed
raw displays of power

because their theology wasn't as
sophisticated as ours is now.

There was one thing
that I was pretty sure of

No matter what God did,
He was very, very normal.

and He always
made perfect sense.

Being new to
all this miracle stuff

I figured the
best place to start

would be the one place
that I knew best:

church.

So I started taking
my camera to churches

where I heard
God was doing some...

well...interesting things.

I was already willing to accept
the whole gold teeth thing

because of my aunt and uncle,

even though I still thought
it was really stinking weird.

But apparently
God wanted to make sure

I got the point.

My teeth have been in
kind of a disastrous situation

The dentists are so expensive,
and I'm a senior

and I mean I really
needed some dental work.

And he did it for me.
-Wow

Let me see that flashlight.
He's got a flashlight.

Look at this.
If you can see it, let's see.

On the bottom. Look at that.

It didn't take long for
me to realize that gold teeth

were just
the tip of the iceberg.

But even though
so many people

were getting these things

I couldn't shake that
nagging question of "Why?"

Why teeth?

Why would a God who's so
normal do something so abnormal?

Well certainly it's a
sign and a wonder.

And when it
started happening here

I got in touch with unbelief
that I didn't know I had

I said, "Why would
God do this and this?"

You know,
people ask the question

If God's going to show up
and do miracles

why doesn't He heal
that lady in the wheelchair?

and forget about gold
teeth for somebody?

and it's an
unanswered question

I don't know why God does
what he does sometimes

but I do know we had
a lady in a wheelchair

get a gold tooth one time
and she was very very happy.

She didn't say
"I don't want this,

"I want my healing"

she just was really
honored and thrilled

that God did that for her.

But it wasn't just gold teeth.

Gold dust started
showing up too.

It's basically little
flecks of gold

that show up on
random people,

bibles, or whatever.

Or this guy, Joshua Mills

When he speaks

he literally gets
covered in gold dust

An intern told me

that when he picked him
up from the airport

he didn't have a speck on him.

and by the time
he got to the church

this is what he looked like.

One night at a church service
where I was filming,

Harold and Kaye Bayer,
you'll meet them soon,

are called forward
to receive prayer.

Now the prayer itself
was simply a prayer of blessing.

nothing fancy

just a "God loves you so
be blessed" kind of thing

while this is happening

they both get knocked out
by the power of God.

and once they go down,
the strangest thing happens.

Do you see it?

I didn't see it either,

until the people around
them started pointing.

Then I saw it.
right there,

right where it hadn't been
just 30 seconds earlier,

was a pile of gold dust.

The whole scene was
pretty amazing,

but also kinda weird

cause here we are
all witnessing an,

"it wasn't there a minute
ago and now it is"

miracle, but we're also
all craning our necks

trying to
catch a glimpse of

a man's...well...
you know...

Jeff Jansen, who was the
speaker that night

said it was a prophetic sign of
reproducing.

and while that's
probably true

I still think it's proof that

God's got a killer
sense of humor.

So let me introduce these two.

This is Harold and Kaye Bayer

the sweetest Lutheran couple
you'd ever wanna meet.

For the past 36 years
God's been giving them a gift

that they never asked for

but are more than
happy to receive.

Here's an eyewitness to
what happened to them

right before
I began filming.

We were seeing
how holy this was.

Harold was standing right
next to me, and...

I've been with him before
when this happens

and there's like a shift

You just feel this shift in the
atmosphere and it just...

spontaneously shows up
in his hand.

And it almost tosses him
because he's so overcome

by the power of God.

So what is it
that comes to them

quite literally
out of thin air?

This...Manna

That's right

the same manna God
provided the Israelites

when they were in the
desert for 40 years

It either shows up
in Harold's hands

or in his Bible.

always on the same page,
Revelation 2:17

"He who has an ear let him hear,

"what the Spirit
says to the churches,

"to him who overcomes,

"I will give some of
the hidden manna."

Now I never would
have believed this

if I hadn't seen it happen.

But I did see it happen

Twice.

And apparently

this stuff has some incredible
healing properties of its own.

Which makes sense, seeing as

it kept the Israelites
healthy for 40 years

and this is pretty much
all they ate.

Now this is Canon Andrew White

and you'll hear
more from him later

but for right now,
you need to know that

he's the official
Anglican priest

over the whole of Iraq

and he's intimately
involved in the

political and diplomatic process

between the Pentagon
and the Iraqi government.

During my interview with him,

he dropped this
little tidbit on me.

Huh...

Now I wonder why
I've never heard that

on the evening news?

One night,

when I was filming
at a church service

where the manna came,

my friend Nancy
walked past me

and said that there
was some kid outside

who was having
a serious problem

and an ambulance
had just shown up

to take him to the hospital.

She said she was going to
give him some manna

and see what happens.

This I had to see.

So I grab my camera

and walk through
the mass of people

to get outside where
the ambulance was.

There was Nancy

trying to talk the
paramedics into

letting her in
to see the kid.

They thought she was nuts,

but they let her see him

as long as I turned
off my camera.

Obviously, this wasn't
normal hospital procedure.

He didn't respond and I said,

"Richie I'm going to
give you some communion."

and put my hand on him,
prayed for him,

and then when I prayed for him,
he opened up his mouth

stuck out his tongue,
and I put it on his tongue

and he just took it, opened
up his eyes a little bit

and they said, "Ok, you
need to leave now."

Hey Cindy. Cindy!
This is his mom, Cindy.

What's wrong with him?

He had a complete mental
breakdown two weeks ago.

And he had to go in the
hospital for over a week.

What happened tonight then?

Tonight he had...

He didn't react so quickly.

He left after the worship

He said the same thing was
happening to his head

that he felt like he was
losing his thinking

and "What's wrong with me?"
and "I don't know."

But then,
when he was in there

his equilibrium became...

Later, when the night was over

and I was packing
up my stuff

Nancy told me she had
just received a call

and the kid was being released
from the hospital that moment.

He was absolutely
and totally fine.

Now as if gold teeth, gold
dust, and manna weren't enough

there was still one
thing left to come

That completely wrapped my
mind in a knot.

This.

What you're looking at are
50 carat gem stones

that have appeared
out of thin air.

These things are falling
all over the world.

Apparently, jewelers have
looked at some of these

and they can't seem to
figure out what they are.

The main problem they're having

is that they're
simply too perfect.

They contain no flaws.

They aren't cubic zirconium.
They aren't man made.

And they lack certain features
that most gem stones have.

Some are growing.

Others have multiplied
in front of people's eyes.

And some have fallen
already set in gold.

Now it's one thing to hear the
stories, but quite another

when I'm filming, and I get a
tap on my shoulder telling me

that some gem stones
just fell in the front.

So I grab my camera,
trample over people yet again,

And there they are.

Now I know what
you're thinking.

How do I know all these
people are telling the truth?

Well... I don't. But if
you look at it logically,

Everyone lying seems even
more irrational than if

they're actually
telling the truth.

I mean, why lie
about gold teeth?

Especially when most people
just think you're nuts.

Why would someone go around
sprinkling gold dust on

random unsuspecting people
or their bibles?

Why would these people
lie about manna?

The obvious answer is to
simply try and trick people.

But to what end?

No one's trying to sell
these gemstones.

No one's making money off of
gold teeth or gold dust.

It's something that helps us
get in touch with

the importance of
being childlike.

You know, unless you
become like little children

You cannot even enter
into the Kingdom of God.

And so, you know just
like Luke chapter 10 there,

we don't want to be
too sophisticated,

these things are hidden

from the wise and learned
and revealed to little children.

And I don't think you have
to throw your brains away

and be gullible and all that
kind of stuff, but I think

we're expected to have faith
in God and believe that

nothing's impossible with Him,
and we just say

well hey, heaven's streets
are paved with gold.

What's the big deal if
God puts gold in your mouth?

It's all in heaven, isn't it?

The gates of pearl,
and the jewels and gem stones

all through the walls
and you know, on and on.

Sometimes things that
happen are weird.

But one must remember
that the word weird

and the word normal

only make sense
within a framework.

It's only within a
paradigm or a grid

that the word
normal makes sense.

And it's only within
a paradigm or a grid

that the word
weird makes sense.

I think God
has been giving myself

and the people in our church,
a new normal.

Which means he's been
reshaping our paradigm.

He's been
giving us a new lens

by which to view
reality through,

and we're finding this
very very exciting

and very very moving,

and sometimes
difficult and challenging.

If we have
trouble with this stuff

it might just be because
it's way outside

our grid of understanding.

But that doesn't necessarily
make it not true.

If there was one thing
God was showing me in all this

it's that as far as grids go,

He doesn't really have one.

Now, the signs and
wonders that I had seen

obviously raised
certain questions.

If they were real,

and I had no reason
to believe that they weren't.

These people didn't
want anything,

they weren't asking for money.

They just wanted people
to know how amazing God is.

Then I had some adjusting to
do in my own personal theology.

I guess I always knew miracles
happened, but I always thought

they were simple, clean things

that didn't
challenge me in any way.

But then, when I look at
the life of Jesus,

He challenged everyone's
way of thinking,

especially the religious people.

But more than being willing
to accept a God who is

more unpredictable and, quite
frankly, more fun than

I had ever imagined
Him being, was the

nagging question that now
consumed my every thought.

Could there possibly be more
to this Christian life than

what I'd always known?

Could there be more to it
than simply going to church,

trying to be a good person, and
trying to talk people into

believing in Jesus?

Could the power of God
actually be expected of me?

Well we've been seeing
some great signs.

and how mighty are his wonders.

A sign will make you
wonder sometimes.

Jesus certainly didn't die,

and go through
all his suffering,

so we could do church.

Now let's face it,
he had more in mind

than us meeting once a
week and tithing.

Jesus made a very
profound statement,

many, but one in particular,
he said,

"You will do the same works
that I have done,

"and even greater."

Either he is a liar

or he's telling the truth.

What is not normal
in the North American church

and the western church,
is going to become normal.

Where ordinary people

openly display the
raw power of God.

So these miracles,
signs, and wonders

and stepping out in faith
and sharing with people

aren't for the "superstars"
but it's for the normal believer

it's for the average believer.

So this is Chris Overstreet
and he's talking about something

I kept running into
over and over again

with each person
I met on this journey.

We're called to power.

I realized I was now looking

for people who actually
act on what they believe:

that God is a God of power,

and He's called us
to live our lives accordingly.

Now this was
radical thinking for me

and it required a radical shift
in my perceptions of God.

I needed to see and hear
how this worked in real life.

I needed someone

to testify.

I believe He's about ready
to do something spectacular.

It's not going to be
a few select people

that have gifts of miracles
and gifts of healings.

It's going to be Messiah in us
the hope of glory.

I had a really bad sinus.

It was hurting me really bad,
and God just released...

released it while
we were just shouting

What happened?

Well last night
God healed my eyes.

About a year ago I took a trip
and when I came home

I wasn't able to turn my
neck the full way...

Or look behind me
on my left side,

and now I have
full range of motion.

Hi, my knee was broke
three years ago

and it healed incorrectly and
crooked and the doctor

said he couldn't even
fix it with surgery

but it's perfect I can kneel

Look at that!
The doctor said what?

He said he couldn't
even fix it with surgery.

I had chondromalacia
in both kneecaps

the cartilage is soft, it
hurts, it crackles when I walk

it hurts, I couldn't leave my
apartment for about six months.

And now God has healed me so
I can dance and leap and pray

and kneel and walk and run!

The rotator cuff in
my right arm is healed.

Did you feel something happen?

No! I couldn't do things.
If I did, it would hurt!

You couldn't do that?
-No!

Raise your hand up again.

Thank you Jesus for healing.

Hallelujah!

I've had two things happen.

First of all,
my jaw was out of place

and it went back in place.

-Did you feel it
click back in place?

Yes I could feel it click
and everything feels normal.

And then 14 years ago
this month, October 22

I had neck surgery and
it was quite extensive

And right after it I was in an
automobile accident and I've had

fourteen years
of chronic neck pain.

And it's gone!
I can move my neck!

Thank you Jesus!
Look at that!

I can't believe it!
It's unbelievable!

God is moving in power today

and rather than
trying to tell Him

how He should do it, and say,

"Look I'll accept this,
but on my terms."

Why not just say, "I'll
take this on any terms,

"so long as it's you Lord."

And let Him do it His way?

and so his way can be,

using flamboyant teenagers

who really don't know
all that much perhaps

but they're going for it
and God's using them.

And He loves to do that!

He loves to take
the least likely,

sometimes the least qualified,

he uses the foolish things,

according to
1 Corinthians Chapter 1

to confound the wise.

If anyone right now needs
healing in your body

for anything just come over here

Don't care about
what people think

If you need healing in
your body for anything

come over here right now.

I don't care if it's a bad back,
a sore shoulder,

allergies, your ankles,
your knees,

whatever it is,
don't be afraid.

God loves you so much.

This is Jason Westerfield.

I visited him at his home
in New Haven, CT

because I had heard
he was radical for Jesus

I wasn't prepared for
just how radical he was.

We went to the campus
of Yale University.

Our one goal?

To find people for God to heal.

It didn't take long.

Even though you're
waiting for disability

if you were to be healed in
your mind, would you be

more happy with that
than a few little bucks?

If I was what?

If you were well in your mind?

Would you be
more happy with that,

than getting a few bucks?
Even if it means

you couldn't get
money for disability?

Absolutely, and you know
what the thing is?

I'm on medication,

but we keep switching it

from medication,

to medication,

to medication.

Yeah cause they don't
know quite what it is.

So how do you know?

Do you want to be
well from that though?

Why? Do you have some
kind of an idea or..?

Yeah, I do.

Do you want to be well of that?

I saw it on you right
when you walked up.

You did, huh?

If you want to be well of that
I'll pray for you right now.

I'm on my knees every
morning and night.

Jesus Christ is my Lord
and Savior absolutely

but Satan has been
tormenting your mind

and causing you to go like this

and I'm just asking you,
do you want that to go?

Yeah

cause also it chokes you
up in your breathing

and sometimes your knee,
right here...

How do you know all that?

So just stand right there okay?

Father God in Jesus's name

I want to first
start with her head

Lord I just cover her in
your blood, she loves you.

Holy Spirit, I pray
your kingdom to come

Holy Spirit come upon her
right now in Jesus name

let the Kingdom of God
come upon her right now

I'll ask for a wind to
come in the natural

and start coming around her head

and I just pray for
full-blown deliverance

from all witchcraft,
curses, and everything

I speak blessing
over you right now

and I command healing
into your right knee

right now in Jesus name,
I command healing

underneath your kneecap
and strength

and all through the
back of your spine

all the way up and I
pray the blessing of God

right now I break the
power of the spirit

of infirmity, affliction,
and pain

I command it to go
in your sinuses

I pray for healing
right now to open up

In Jesus's name in your nose,

heaviness go, I pray
for the fire of God

begin to come now
in Jesus's name

see all the wind is
blowing around you now

and the pain in the lower
right side of your back

I pray for healing
in there right now...there it is

Go ahead and take a deep
breath and move around

Take a deep breath
and move around.

I could feel chills
when you did that

I felt chills

all over me and sinuses
you hit everything

every single thing wrong
with me you hit.

the sinuses, the knee,
the right knee,

the degenerative disc
disease, all of that.

God loves you and
what happened is

His Kingdom just came upon you.
by the power of the Holy Spirit.

and God just
brought salvation to you

you were forgiven,
but he just brought

deliverance and healing

so now God wants to
restore a joy to you,

and He even wants to establish
and reorder your equilibrium

and even your hearing so
it doesn't wobble...

Now keep in mind,
we just met this lady.

She walked up to us
looking for bus fare.

Jason prayed for her and
she walked away blessed.

Right after that, Jason
saw a guy on crutches.

Thank you Lord, there's
our man, come on dog.

Hey excuse me guys,
what happened?

I got hit by a car.

Oh did you? Is it your
back or your legs?

My leg.

I'll just be absolutely
honest with you, okay?

We were just with this
lady and praying for her

just like five seconds ago

and the Lord just healed
her hands and stuff.

healed her back and her knees

and I turned around
and I saw you,

and the Lord said,"Go
pray for him right now."

God loves you

and people have
been praying for you

Can I pray for you right now?

You wanna be better, right?

Yeah, which one is it?

My right leg.

Your right leg?

Yeah.

Where's it at?

My knee right here

And you wanna be better, right?

Yes sir.

Yeah you don't have to
do anything, just receive

like a gift on Christmas,
you just kinda take it in

I'm just gonna pray for
you right now, okay?

Father God in Jesus's name

I pray for complete
healing in Jesus's name

that he won't need the crutches

he won't need anything.

All pain go right now
in Jesus name.

let your grace come and your
Spirit come right now.

I command strength

and healing,
I command this to operate

and work and function
in the name of Jesus

loosen the spirit of
might in here right now

in Jesus name

More Lord, complete strength.

Go ahead and move it around.

What's going on?

It feels...
it's kinda the same, but...

Yeah? Let's pray again.

It's getting a little
looser in there?

Yeah

Yeah, cause something's
happening right now.

We'll just
keep praying for 100%.

Go ahead and try it now.

Start walking on it.

Just keep walking...there it is.

Thank you Lord

more strength, more
strength, more strength

More Lord,
thank you for my brother

God thank you for him

thank you for my brother.

Thank you for wholeness.
Thank you for health.

Thank you for life.

(laughing) That's cool isn't it?

How's it doing?

That's so cool, isn't it?

Thank you very much

Go like this..

on your toes..

(laughing)

What happened? What's going on?

He don't feel any pain
or nothing no more.

I'm coming right now,
this guy was praying for me.

Here let me see these a second.

Walk right to that crooked line
and come right back here.

You'll find it's better.

It's totally different.

Kinda move it like this.

How you doing?
What's going on with you?

Do you feel light?

Yeah

That's cool

It's hard to find any city
Jesus went to

where miracles didn't happen,
even the one that was noted

as being the
city of great unbelief,

even there, healings took place.

I was in the United States
about a year ago.

And there were
two small children

who wanted to heal the sick

and there was one lady,

and she said her heart,

it was pumping out
the bad stuff,

taking in the good stuff

and she was dying.

And I got these
two 8 year olds,

to just put their hand up
to the Lord Jesus and say,

"Can I have a brand new
heart for this lady?"

and they put their hands
straight on her chest,

and when they took
their hands away,

they had absolute perfect

fingerprints of gold dust
across this lady's chest.

She got healed of diabetes,

she got healed of back trouble,

she got healed of 59
pounds in weight.

She got a brand new heart.

She's in her sixties.

She went to the doctor
and the doctor said,

"I do not know
what has happened,

"but you've got the heart
of a 30 year old athlete,

that is very fit."

And it was just through two,

children of eight years old.

One of the most amazing miracles

we had ever
been involved in

or had ever witnessed

actually wasn't something
we even prayed for.

I was speaking on a Friday
night at the end of a conference

called the International
Healing Conference

and we had taken all
of the speakers

There was about six or
eight of us and some of the

leaders from the conference
and we formed this line

kind of like a gauntlet,
and we had all the people

about 1000-1200 people

come through the line, and we
just laid hands on them

prayed for them, just prayed
that God would release to them

the grace to
minister to the sick

to see people get well.

So as we're praying for people,

this young lady
goes through the line

that had her eyeball shot
out with a BB gun.

They had replaced the
front of the eye

with a piece of eye from a
cadaver, a dead person.

Then they took the eyeball,
they filled it with silicone,

and then they took a
blacked out contact lens,

put it over the center,

so it would have the
appearance of an eyeball

just in the daily
goings of life,

it wouldn't look odd.

And as she went
through the line,

when she got through she
thought she could see shadows

and light rays and,

and because of the
blacked out contact lens

she could see something
going on but wasn't sure.

When she went home, her mother
helped her remove the lens

and found out she had
a brand new eyeball.

One of the most
significant things

I've ever heard of or seen

John Wesley said
"Set yourself on fire,

"for all to come
and watch you burn."

and I think some of it is

creating a lifestyle
where we deliberately

set our cold,
broken, stony hearts

before the fire of His love.

Now when you make
a movie like this,

you begin to hear about things
happening around the world

that don't get discussed much
on popular news media.

For example, this place...

Bethel Church
in Redding, California

You've already heard a bit
from their pastor,

but I went out there
to check out

a school of ministry
they have

where the students' idea of
a good time is to go to the ER

on Friday nights to try and
pray for someone to be healed

before the doctor saw them.

These students were some
of the most radical people

I've ever met

About a couple of weeks ago,
I took my little brother out

on what we call a treasure hunt.
Which is where,

we'll pray beforehand
and we'll just say

Lord, we're going to go
specifically to a mall

or someplace out
in the public and we'll say

show us names of people,

what they look like,
maybe what we can pray for

so we did that, and then we
went into this mall,

and my brother had gotten a
clue to go into a

video game/role
playing game store

and so we kind of
found that one out

I had gotten this
picture of somebody

with this thing on their arm

where it wraps
over their finger,

and I had thought it was,

one of those things that girls
wear, where they pull the things

up over their arm, I don't
even know what that is.

And so we're in this store,
and then all of a sudden

this kid's in the background,
and he's playing whatever

this game, this role playing
chess game thing

and he has a cast on his hand,
so I'm like, well that's a good

place to start, so me and my
brother walked over to him

and sort of boldly
interrupted his game

and I wondered if his friend
that he's playing this game

with is going to get
all irritated or anything

and I just said,
Hey I noticed you had a cast,

What happened?
Was it an accident?

and he was like,
"I fell on my skateboard."

"I sprained my wrist
really badly."

And I said,
"Well, Jesus can heal you,

can we pray for you right now?

because we felt like we were
supposed to come in here

specifically to
pray for people."

And he said,"Okay."
and so he took his thing off

We asked him if we
could pray for his hand

and I just touched it
and I just said

In Jesus name I just
release healing power,

and Lord just thank you that
you died for our healing

and for our sins.

and then I said test it out,
and he's all...

"Yeah, it's better."

and I was like,"Well,
what do you mean it's better?"

Like, on a scale of 1-10,
zero being no change

and ten being like, fully fully
better, I'm like, where is it?

He's like, "It's like a ten."
and I was like, "It's a ten?"

And he's like, "Yeah!"

and I'm all,
"Dude! You just got healed!"

And then he was like, "I know!"

He was all like, he didn't know
how to respond almost.

We were on the streets,

and there was a man
that was begging

he was mute.

He was mute from birth.

And he was begging on the
streets of Skid Row in L.A.

A real rough part of town.

We begin to pray
for the guy and...

he was just, "uhh uhhh"
just kind of groaning and stuff

But we asked him and said,
"Say Jesus."

and he began to speak,
and we commanded him speak

and we commanded
healing to come,

and he began to speak

and his first words were "Jesus"

Just this past weekend I was
praying for someone's finger

that was completely crooked,

and it had no
feeling in the finger

and I put my hand on it

and I started releasing
the Kingdom of God

I started praying in
the name of Jesus

just healing power to flow,

and the guy's finger
popped right back in.

In my hand,

and he started crying and said

I haven't had feeling in my
finger for six years.

Not too long ago
I was out shopping

and I ended up
buying a drink at this place

where there was this girl

and I was talking to her

and I asked her if she
needed prayer for anything,

and she told me that
she had a dislocated shoulder

So I prayed for
her shoulder real quick

and I prayed that God would
show her how much He loved her

and I asked her
how she was doing

and she said there wasn't
any difference right then.

Prayed again and there actually
wasn't any difference then,

so I left...

wondering why the person
didn't get healed,

but that night
I talked to someone

who had talked to her later

and found out that that night
as she was lying in bed,

her shoulder instantly
snapped back into place

and it freaked
her out so much...

Now, as I sat there and listened
to story after story after story

Eight hours in all.

I began to wonder if what I
was hearing about was supposed

to be the average
Christian life.

I mean these kids were out
of their minds for God.

Had I been missing something
all these years?

I came out of
a background where

I had never even heard of
the Holy Spirit

until about four years ago.

Like, they just
didn't talk about it.

And now I
read through the Bible,

and they have whole books

on what people do
through the Holy Spirit.

How can you miss this?
It's right there,

you believe in Jesus, and
that's His book right there

If you don't believe that,
do you believe him?

I just thought I had
to do good things.

I thought that
I had to be super nice

to every single
person in the world

I thought that I
had to go to church

and I had to sing in the choir

I had to be a part of
the things that were happening.

It was all about what I did

and not about,

bringing Jesus home with me.

Like, he just wasn't at home.

You know, He just wasn't
in the grocery store.

He was just at church,
but my perspective of who He was

was that He's my God,
and He saved me,

but I didn't know anything about
hearing him speak to me

or seeing him move.

The miraculous should be
a common everyday thing in life

because if Jesus said to follow
Him and do the things He did

a lot of people look
at that as like

It's just to try to not
do bad things and to pray

it seems like
it's almost ignored

that Jesus did miracles
all the time

and He healed the sick
and He raised the dead

and then if
He said to follow me,

it would probably be
what He was saying is also

to do the same
miracles that He did

and to walk in the
same way He did,

and it should just be
a common thing in our life,

even though it's not seen
that way by most Christians.

And some people say,
oh Christianity is boring.

and I really feel it's because

they haven't seen
the full potential

of what a Christian can be.

The full gospel,

and really doing what Jesus
called us to do

How can it be boring? You know?

You see someone get out of
a wheelchair and you're like,

"Man, I'm bored"?

No! That doesn't happen!

The real reason why a lot of
people don't step out

and do the works
of Jesus Christ

is because they have not been
taught that they can do it.

They have not been
taught that the reality is

the same Spirit that rose
Christ Jesus from the grave

lives inside of them.

But the Holy Spirit
is imprisoned

in unbelieving believers

and the Holy Spirit
longs to get out.

To touch somebody,
to make impact.

One of the most impressive
things about these students

was their level of boldness.

They didn't care
how they looked,

they just wanted God
to touch people.

For example, it's Friday night
and these kids are all gonna

hit the streets for the Lord.

First they listen.

Then they write.

Then, they compare notes.

This was evangelism unlike
anything I've ever seen before.

We don't have an agenda.
We're not handing out tracts.

We're not soliciting people
to come to our group

or anything like that.

And so you're filled with
so many awkward moments

because you're like...

There's so much faith,
like you're just going...

but you don't exactly
know where you're going

you don't exactly know
who you're gonna meet

but then it's just like,
as you go, and you step out,

things just start connecting,
like the Holy Spirit just starts

connecting the dots, you know?

And then all of a sudden you
find yourself in this God moment

this encounter,

and healings break out
and salvations

Something happens
every time we pray.

Something is going to happen.

Sometimes it's invisible,

and sometimes it happens
after we have left.

So our job is just
to step out

and see what God is
up to and do it;

and just look into what
the Holy Spirit is up to.

Hey, dude, my word of knowledge,

I knew it was Coldstone
but it was just the word stone.

Look at the sign.

That's so funny.
I knew it was Coldstone,

but I only got the word
stone for location

because the sign's out.

That's so funny.

I do need prayer

For what?

And then she had to move
to her grandparents

and while living
there she got saved

and she's been saved the
last three months.

And she totally needed
a lot of encouragement

she tried to move in
back with her dad

her stepdad, but
he totally still had..

he didn't like her anymore

and didn't trust her

and we just totally got to
prophesy into her life

and everything we said
was right on

-Very cool.
-Yeah

And it's cool because
she had a green sweater,

and it's Starbucks
and it's Coldstone

and it was totally a
divine encounter.

-Awesome
-Yeah

It's good.

And there's two groups.

There's the group
that is seeing this happen

on a regular basis

and then we have
groups of people

that have never seen this

and it's just
hard for them to even believe

that this is still happening.

They've been raised in
such an environment

of skepticism and unbelief
that for them,

Nazareth would be an improvement

where Jesus just healed
a few sick people

I joked with our folks

at the beginning of the
healings breaking out

I said "Well, we've almost
arrived to the city of Nazareth,

"the city of unbelief"

cause we've got a few
sick people healed

I just tell people, listen

this thing is worth
paying any price for.

Go wherever you need to go,

Stop believing
that what you've seen

or haven't seen

doesn't exist just because
it didn't start with you

and didn't
start with your church.

Do whatever is necessary,
pay any price,

and go to where it's going,
and be willing to learn.

Don't go as the
skeptic to disprove

Say God,
"If it's in the book,

take me places
where it's happening."

And then pay any price to get
there and watch what happens.

My grandfather
used to say that God

is only as big as your head,

and he meant that
we often put limits

on how big or powerful
God really is

by our own issues.

It's funny,

but I always used to look at
something like this and think,

"That's great. I'm glad someone
is out there doing that."

and I would somehow
feel good about myself

even though
I didn't do anything.

But now I began to wonder...

Am I just called to
talk about God?

Or is there more being
asked of me here?

Could it possibly be
that my God is too small?

If we're in Christ,
all of us have the Holy Spirit.

All of us have Christ
living inside of us,

the hope of Glory

All of us have God

communing with us,
so there's no difference

in the kingdom between those

who go after the supernatural
and those who don't.

We all have the same resource.

We all have the same access.

We're all sons and daughters,
we're all children.

And therefore, we have access

and have been given the
same authority, as his children,

to release what's
in the kingdom.

My heart's desire is for people
to meet the God of miracles.

The purpose of the miracle is
to meet the God of miracles.

The miracle is just the means

to realize that God
in the invisible realm is real

is personal, and cares
about me as an individual.

That's the whole deal.

The supernatural should
be so natural.

That God created us to
be His very friend on earth.

in Him we move and live
and have our being

especially in Mozambique, Africa

because we don't have
entertainment,

like we don't have television,
we don't have malls,

we have absolutely
no outside input.

Like, the supernatural
becomes the entertainment

cause God is the most exciting,
captivating being in the world.

It's the normal Christian life,

and we're seeing that
miracles really are normal,

and Jesus was the most
normal Christian in the Bible

and he modeled for us
what life could be like.

Could it be true?

Could this be the
normal Christian life?

Why didn't anyone tell me?

My faith had been buried
in unbelief for years.

But now something was changing.

Something was
stirring inside of me.

Something that had laid dormant
for nearly my entire life.

Up to this point,

I had been dealing with
stories and miracles

from where I live, America.

It was only a
matter of time, then,

that I would begin to hear about

what was happening
beyond America's borders.

And the things I heard

were beyond
anything I could imagine.

A new world was
unfolding before me.

A world on fire for God.

One report that's been
really well documented

is the one of a monk

in Myanmar, which used
to be called Burma

who died and was dead
for three days

and they were getting
ready to cremate him

it was at the end of the funeral

and suddenly he sat
up in his casket

and he said this,

I'll read it so I can
get the words straight...

"It's all a lie."

"I saw our ancestors burning,

and being tortured
in some kind of fire."

"I also saw Buddha and
many other Buddhist holy men,"

"...and they were all
in a sea of fire."

"We must listen
to the Christians,

they are the only ones
who know the truth."

And this story has been

duplicated and handed
around all over

the country there.

And in fact it's a crime
to be in possession of

the tape of what he said.

He's seen hundreds of his
former fellow Buddhist monks

come to Christ simply
because of his testimony.

Remember this guy?

Hostage negotiator,
works closely with the Pentagon?

Well, he's also the
official Anglican Priest

over all of Iraq.

And he's seen God doing
some amazing things there.

He also has church
services in a few...

interesting places.

Now, if you think that's amazing

and are wondering why you
haven't heard that on the news,

listen to where he has his
American services in Baghdad:

I prayed over a
three year old child.

and he went straight
to pray for the sick.

I wouldn't have gone to all the
blind people in the meeting

but he did.

And he had 20 blind and almost
blind people totally healed.

And I've never seen that
through my prayers.

But he just went...

as a child,

"If Jesus is going
to heal people,

he might as well
heal the worst."

And he went
straight to the blind

and the glasses
that were this thick

It was amazing.

And it was an education as well.

Todd Bentley of
Fresh Fire Ministries

a healing evangelist,
was partnering with Iris

and they were going to do
this joint feeding program

and Iris wanted to feed Malawi
during a famine for 4 months,

and so I went on
this crusade with Todd

and in that meeting that night,

the Lord Himself came and
and He walked through the crowds

and everywhere that
Jesus walked, it's on tape,

people parted to the
right and the left

and they were instantly healed.

Did you hear what she said?

"It's on tape."

I was able to get
ahold of the footage...

and... well... here it is.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

And then, there's China.

Few places in
the world are seeing

the explosion of God's power

like the underground church
in China is experiencing.

And in the last 60 years,
China's communist government

has done its best to wipe
Christianity off the map.

But if you look
at church history

persecution only
made the church to grow.

So that Christians grew from
perhaps a million in 1949

to 100 million
right now in 2007.

And persecution was a reason,
but another reason

was because of the
work of the Holy Spirit.

And so it was mostly in
these house churches

what they used to call
"underground" churches

they're not really
physically underground,

sometimes they do meet in caves,

but they're just not registered,
they're not legal

But in the last two years,

the policy has really
changed in China.

Where they don't recognize them

but they don't
persecute them so much

Mostly they don't
persecute Christians

but they persecute preachers

people that're going around and
starting churches all the time.

Let me stop it here
and introduce this man.

This is Dennis Balcombe,

and he's been a missionary
in China for the last 40 years.

He obviously has some
exciting stories to tell,

but he actually offered me
something far more valuable.

He supplied me with a
treasure trove of footage

from deep in the heart of
the underground church in China.

What you are about to see...

is some of the rarest
footage on the planet.

In this church,
the people wake up at 4:30am

to come together for
two hours to pray and worship

They do this every day.

This church meets in the
only place they're safe.

A cave.

This church meets on a farm.

Far away from prying eyes.

Here's an example of an
underground church outreach.

The people sitting
are Christians.

The people who are
standing are not.

This particular preacher
was once crippled,

But was healed when
someone prayed for her.

She now preaches
the good news of Jesus

to anyone who will listen.

In this particular meeting

Over 1,000 people
became Christians.

This is a church service
attended by over 6,000 people.

And while that may
sound like a lot

You have to understand
this one church

has over 300,000 members.

This is often how churches
operate in China.

They start by getting
everyone's attention

using drama or music.

Then they pray for the sick.

This has become common practice
in the Chinese church

and for good reason.

As Dennis put it,

"I've seen AIDs patients
completely delivered recently."

"A lot of different healings.

"And the healings
and the miracles,"

"are one reason that
many people come to the Lord."

Here, Christians cast out demons
from an 18 year old girl.

She's now a preacher.

In Shanghai alone, there are
over 3,000 house churches

just like this one.

One thing Dennis
pointed out to me was that

most of the
underground churches in China

are actually led
by young people.

These kids have all come
out of the communist system

and they want
nothing to do with it.

They only want to
spread the love of Jesus

to everybody they meet.

This is a music school.

Well, that's the cover anyway.

It's really a training school

for students
who want to be pastors

The government
thinks they're simply

learning to play instruments.

One thing I quickly realized
about the Chinese church

is that it's a lot different
from the American one.

For one thing, they think
a four hour sermon is short.

More than that is how different
their services looked from ours

I mean, see for yourself what
happens when a desperate people

plug into a powerful God.

This is a Sunday school class.

What's the big deal
about that you ask?

None of these kids'
parents are Christians.

They send their kids here

so they will
learn to be good children.

Nearly all of these children

will eventually lead their
parents to the Lord.

In this church service

It's 120 degrees
inside the building.

The people meet for
twelve hours straight.

Dennis told me one story
about a time

he went to a very remote
village in China to preach.

He was led into a large room

where the people were
packed so closely together

that he had his back to the wall

and could reach out and
touch the row in front of him.

Everyone stood.
There was no room to sit.

He asked how long
he should preach for

and they told him,
"From 8:30 to 7:00 at night."

Then they asked him if it
wasn't too much trouble

could you come back tomorrow

and preach from
8:30 to 7:00 again?

And then, very sheepishly,

they asked again

"If you'd be so kind,"

"could you come back
the day after that?"

"and preach from 8:30 to 7:00?"

He asked how often
he should take breaks

and they told him not to stop.

"The people will wait."

Then he asked them what
he should preach on.

"Everything." They replied.

"from Genesis to Revelation."

And then it dawned on him.

These people had no Bibles.

Well, very common is
miracles of healing.

Like anywhere in church history.

But it's not particularly
in church services,

like we have
healing conferences.

It's when they're
out evangelizing.

There's miracles
of divine guidance.

There's miracles of nature,

like an example there's a field
where all of the crops are dry

except for the Christian field.

And their field
has beautiful crops

and they say when it rained,
the rain came on their field.

And in times of flood,

the Lord would protect
the villages of the Christians

when all of the other
villages were destroyed.

And I think if the
Western church would stand up

and really preach the gospel,
not get involved about abortion

and gay rights and these...

just preach Jesus Christ.

The devil doesn't want to
hear Jesus Christ preached,

They're not on
any social issue.

They don't even
talk about the government.

They might pray
for the government.

We don't have this thing about

You know, the nation is
going to be converted

The government's going
to be converted.

They simply preach the gospel.

And persecution comes when you
really preach the gospel

and tell people to repent
and turn to the Lord.

And I think that
it's the persecution

and the suffering that has
really made the church strong.

Back when I was
filming in churches...

I met someone who would
change my life forever.

Her name is Heidi Baker.

Heidi and her husband Rolland

invited me to come out to
their home in Mozambique

to see what God was up to.

Suddenly I was going to Africa.

And my whole world was once
again about to be rearranged.

This is Francis.

Francis was dead once.

But as you can see here,
he's now very much alive.

Before I'd even
reached Mozambique

I met Francis here,

who came to see me
at the airport in Johannesburg.

Iris Ministries, which is
where I was heading

has seen nearly 100 people
raised from the dead

in the last 7 years.

Francis is one of them.

Here is his story.

Somebody finds an old car,

and they get the
body to the hospital

and Supressa goes with them
they don't know what to do.

They get to the hospital.

and they killed him about 11:00

and about 12:15
Supressa is praying,

The whole entire
conference is praying.

They don't know what else to do,
the whole place is praying.

12:15 at night at the hospital

Francis starts to breath
and he comes back to life.

(cheers)

Now I originally thought that
was the end of the story.

But it's not. In fact,

it's not even the
best part of the story.

(clapping)

-Hallelujah

But he's in a...

He's just in a complete mess.

By now his eyes
are swollen shut,

his mouth is swollen shut.

He can't talk, he's just in
a total physical mess.

Looks like it's
going to take him,

just ages and ages to recover.

But he's alive.

There's a whole
gang of these guys

and the police later in the
morning finally finds 1 of them.

And they're so
proud of themselves,

they call the church
Come on down here,

press charges,
sign papers,

we'll get this guy
in jail right now.

But...

Last night,
when Francis came back to life,

just before they put
him out for the night.

he managed to croak out,
between his swollen lips

He managed to croak out
"Forgive them."

It's the only thing
he could say,

the only thing he did say
was just forgive them.

And that got back to the church.

So when the police
called to come down

to press charges
and sign papers

The whole church agrees
we're not going to do that.

We're just going to forgive him.

The police are really upset.

This is not how to handle
crime in South Africa.

And they keep demanding
that somebody come down

and press charges

but the entire church
with one voice said,"No."

we're not going to do that.

As soon as they
forgave this guy,

and told the police
absolutely no,

a phone call came
from the hospital

that Francis was totally
and completely healed.

(cheering)

Not a scratch on him,
not a bruise on him.

He could see and talk
perfectly normally.

There was 100%
nothing wrong with him.

There's no reason to keep him
overnight until Monday.

So they told the church
to come get your guy.

Right now.

Then he goes down
to get the guy out of jail

who killed him the night before.

Well, he did become a Christian.

And then he went
to bible school.

And today he can't stop
telling everyone he meets

about how God changed the
heart of a murderer,

through one act of forgiveness.
By a dead guy.

Mozambique

The poorest nation
in the world.

A 90% unemployment rate.

A history of war and violence.

A starving people.

And it is here

quite literally at
the end of the earth

where love shines brightest.

Seven thousand orphans.

twelve thousand mouths
to feed every day.

Nearly eight thousand churches
planted in the last seven years.

Thousands of people
miraculously healed.

Over eighty people
raised from the dead.

One woman in the dirt.

I first heard of Heidi Baker
from Bill Johnson.

During my interview with him,
he dropped this on me.

Whether it's in
Mozambique where

friends of ours there have
resurrections on a normal basis.

The healing of the blind,

I have a friend there
that goes to a village,

the way she presents the gospel

to a village that has never
heard the gospel before

She walks in and she says,
"Bring me your deaf."

And they bring all the deaf,

and she points to one
and she says

"Do you people know this man?"

Everyone says "Yes."

she says,"Is he deaf, do you
know for certain he's deaf?"

"Yes, he's deaf!"

She lays hands on him,
God opens the ears

And this city, this community,

this little village becomes
open to the gospel.

And village after village
the entire village is converted

Simply because
Jesus shows his love.

To where people are healed of
deafness and blindness, etc.

Now this takes some
serious spiritual guts.

Travel to a remote village...

Get the people to come
by singing and dancing...

Show the Jesus film...

For many, this is the first
movie they've ever seen

and they often yell warnings to
Jesus when he's on trial.

After that,

tell the people who Jesus is
and how much he loves them

then prove it by healing
the deaf and the blind.

I'd never seen anything like it.

I'd never even heard
of anything like it.

But here it was,
right in front of my eyes.

A woman from
Laguna Beach, California,

with a Ph.D. in
systematic theology

from King's College in London

bringing a boldness of
faith to a desperate people

that, quite frankly,
took my breath away.

A lot of people
I know are just

uneasy at the
thought of miracles

and at the thought of people
being raised from the dead

they really start squirming.

It's just so freaky
they just, it's just...

I don't even understand,

because I so love the
presence of God

that the closer He is,
the more at peace I am.

If you're not at peace with God,
you're not gonna be at peace

with a powerful miracle
next to you.

We have incredible miracles.

I'm thinking in
Portuguese, milagres.

We have amazing miracles here.

The deaf hear, and the blind
see, and the crippled walk,

and the dead are raised,
and the kids taught me

I mean, they're the ones
that pray for the sick.

We pray together, I mean,
I just get to go with them.

Children are... you have a nice
monkey with you now

Children are totally dependent.

They can't do it by themselves.

If we want to know
about the kingdom

we have to become like a child.

And be dependent and
know we can't do it.

Poor in spirit, child-like.

We have to know that
we depend on the Father

and we just like hold
His hand all the time.

All children believe that
God does miracles.

All children believe that
God can open deaf ears

and blind eyes and
take away cancer.

All children believe it

until an adult teaches them
that God can't do it.

So I call up little children
in the West

cause they're not ruined, yet.

Little children,
especially, aren't ruined

by unbelief and by materialism.

Little children have these pure
hearts and the Kingdom of God

breaks forth for them in
Korea, in Brazil, in America

Canada, Australia, Europe,
kids are seeing the power of God

I had started this journey
looking for people

who don't just talk
about what they believe,

but who act on what they believe

with a confidence in
a God who is big,

powerful,
and loves us all immeasurably.

And here were a
bunch of little kids

who perform miracles everyday
simply because they love God

and know that He loves them,

no playstations

no cartoons, no toys even

Just God. And look at
what is possible

when God becomes
your sole purpose in life.

♪♪♪

So we went to the bush.

We went to a Muslim village

that had never heard the
name of Jesus before.

A village of mudhuts
and dirty feet.

Where the women walked 10
hours to simply get water.

We danced, we sang,
we watched a film about Jesus

and Heidi preached.

Before the night began,
God told Heidi

not to pray for anyone until,

"the deaf woman came forward."
so she called for her

Over and over again
for 20 minutes.

She said later that if the
woman never came forward

we were all going home.

But then, out of
the darkness, she came.

This woman. This woman is deaf.

Her name is Alima,

and we've been waiting
to find one deaf person.

So we're going to
pray for her now.

You have just
witnessed a miracle.

An entire village testified
that this woman was deaf.

But now, she hears.

For the first time in her life,
she will hear her baby cry.

She will hear her child
speak her name.

And she will know
that God loves her.

There were many more miracles
that happened that week.

Including another
young deaf girl healed.

In Mozambique, when Heidi and
her children pray for the deaf

nearly every one is healed.

It's truly incredible to see.

I think I do, the
first thing I'd say is

I'm just one little
lady in the dirt.

I'm one little lady in
the dirt. Loving children...

Loving God one day at a time.

I'm not complicated.
I'm not special.

I just, I just feel
like God said love

and stop and love.

And He also told me
that everything you do

is holy unto Him.

So when I'm holding...

When I'm holding a child,
it's holy holy holy.

When I'm underwater in
worship it's holy holy holy.

When I'm walking
it's holy holy holy.

When I take another child

whose parents have died.
That's holy.

When I'm sweeping
the floor it's holy.

When I'm in a staff
meeting it's holy.

I believe that
the western church

has compartmentalized
things.

And the Lord says
let me into everything!

Everything we do is for Him.

So I don't just pray
five hours a day.

I pray every waking
moment of the day.

It's like breathing to me.

Praying and breathing
are the same thing.

So I say just abide in Him.

And the more you abide
in Him and you feel His love

and you let Him show
you who you are,

you're not an orphan,
no one's an orphan, you know?

Then you start feeling
this fullness

that comes from living
inside His heart.

And you're just happy.

We don't chase miracles,
they chase us.

We preach the straight gospel.

We like miracles
because we like God.

When you love somebody
you like what they do.

Miracles by themselves
don't thrill people with God.

It didn't always thrill people
with Jesus,

when he was on earth.

The fact is,
that a miracle by itself

does not accomplish
what God is after.

Miracles demonstrate
that God is real.

People can see
evidence that God is here

His fingerprint is on us

"The finger of God has
come upon you," as Jesus said

The kingdom of God has come
upon you. Now what do we do?

Now that we know
that God is real

Now that we know He's done this,

how do we respond?

He's in pain.

Many many years, his whole
body is in pain.

All of his chest down.

Shortly after my
visit to Mozambique,

I found myself in Paris.

With Africa and the
needs of the world

still ringing in my ears

I made my way into the
Cathedral of Notre Dame.

It was majestic
and incredible.

Exactly what you'd expect in
a monument to the glory of God.

I thought surely this place
is worthy of God's glory.

But then, on my way out...

I noticed something
behind one of the pillars.

and as soon as I saw it,
I knew.

This small, beat up box
gave God more glory

than all the stained
glass in the world.

This is an
orphanage in Bulgaria.

Cameras are normally
forbidden here.

And I quickly understood why.

Most of these children
were abandoned by their parents,

deemed too unlovely to keep.

But we had
accompanied some people

who wanted to show them
that they were loved.

It was both heartbreaking
and hopeful.

Terrible, yet beautiful.

I joined a team of people
from around the world

Led by this family.
Georgian, Winnie, and Yana Banov

who were traveling around
Eastern Europe

on a mission to love.

Their main target?

The most hated
people group in Europe.

Gypsies.

They have a reputation
of being thieves

and beggars and deceivers

they'll make a scam, they travel

come through with carnival stuff
and do something and then

before you know it, the whole
village has been robbed

and the gypsies are gone.

These are the stories
and the reputation has stuck

They're a very hated
people group.

In Europe they're a problem.

They're poorly educated.

They seem to live in congregated
areas, and we call them hoods

And we look at
the situation like this,

that we are no different.

Our hearts were no different
than the gypsies'.

Who isn't a liar?
Who isn't a thief?

Who isn't corrupt?
Who isn't a scoundrel?

We started in the
village of Kazanluk, Bulgaria.

Where we fed the people
their favorite meal

Sheep fat stew and watermelon.

There is more excitement
about watermelon than anything

I don't know why,

but, it's chaos when
it comes to watermelon.

Last year it was over there,
and we were stampeded.

Then we sang and danced
with them into the night.

They would quickly turn it
into a full on Gypsy party.

And that's the other thing
I quickly learned about Gypsies.

They like to dance.

A lot.

(singing)

It was also here
where I first encountered

what life was
really like for people

who are universally hated.

This is a typical
gypsy house.

Sometimes up to 12 people
will live in a room this size.

Most cannot work,
no one will hire them.

So their homes are literally
crumbling around them.

But while all of Europe
hates these people,

I quickly realized that God has
very different feelings for them

This guy couldn't even stand up,
he needed a new kidney.

Well, he just got one.

This woman had a tumor
the size of a baseball

on the back of her head

that just shrunk down to nothing

This just happened five minutes
before I began filming.

This woman was paralyzed
on the left side of her body.

She's not anymore.

This woman's child can't walk.

So she forced her way to
the front of the crowd.

Hoping for a miracle.

She got one.

But while the miracles were
amazing and everything...

they weren't the thing
that impressed me the most.

I mean, these people
were outcasts

Everybody hated them.

But once they experienced
the power of God

They were changed forever.

Like this place:

where the gypsies all
live in boxcars

and are surrounded by filth.

Where the children pick through
trash to find toys and food.

Where the village collectively

gives its best boxcar
to be its church.

I thought they were different,
but they're just like you or me.

I ask her,"Can we go inside?"

she said, "Just a second,
I need to clean something."

I looked at these people
and saw poverty and despair.

But they showed me
something different.

These gypsies who were once
thieves and scoundrels

had been transformed.

They had nothing, yet
they gave freely.

At one service
they scrounged together $140

to, in their words,
"help those in need"

They had also been changed
from the inside out.

This place is
forgotten from anybody

But God does not forget.

The majority of them accept
Jesus Christ as their savior.

The first testimony
from the government

that they come and tell us
that the crime came down.

Simple faith of God is here.

So many miracles happened that

year after year they
know that if we pray for them

God will do something.
I have so many testimonies

Every year they come.

In fact, we were here
in May, and...

I'll show you in a minute,
this lady,

she says,
"Remember me?"

You laid hands on my kidney
and my stones were gone.

I have no pain.

I go, "I don't remember,
but praise the Lord."

This in, this like in June.

So there's always fresh...

fresh testimonies that
pile up and just...

Makes everybody expect
that when we come

all kinds of things happen.

Besides the fact that
they have a church here

every single night.

That church where we ate

That's a building that has
its church services every night

for almost twelve years now.

Every night.

In the mornings they go
down there and pray

for us.

And at night, they just have a
glory time every night

Three to four hours every night.

For ten days I visited with the
gypsies of Turkey and Bulgaria.

The most hated people
group in Europe.

I had been traveling the world

looking for
displays of God's power

and I'd found them everywhere

The more I saw,
the more normal it became.

And once it became normal

I was finally able to
see the real truth.

This was a moment of
discovery for me.

Heidi Baker had
joined us in Turkey,

and here she was,
praying for a Muslim woman

to receive sight
in one of her eyes.

But she had to rely on the
interpreter to communicate.

While Heidi simply wanted to
love the woman and pray for her

the interpreter, who was
a Turkish pastor

wanted to convert
the woman first.

She doesn't accept
Jesus as her Lord

Well, at least
still pray for her

We'd like to pray for
her anyway.

We'd like to pray
for you anyway.

No problem, we'll pray for you.

We know, we know...

The struggle continued.

On one side, love with
no obligations

On the other, religion
with an agenda.

The difference couldn't
have been clearer.

I understand
-Heidi I'm telling her...

I'm telling her is that
Jesus did the healing

not the others.
-Yeah, because

tell her it's in the Koran
-But she doesn't believe me

-In the Koran?

But you are loved. You're loved.

Heidi, I'm telling her that,

Jesus is your savior,
your God is Jesus

and He's the one
who's going to save you,

he's the one
who's going to heal you

...but she keeps saying no,
Mohammed, Mohammed

So illiterate, so stupid.

...merciful Jesus.
You have to love them.

Because the only way to reach
them is to love them.

Keep loving, keep loving,
keep loving.

I know,
but it's only through love.

But it's only through love.

You have to love
them into the kingdom.

The truth is...

The power of God that
resides within us

isn't just there for us to
perform miracles.

Like Rolland Baker said,

Miracles demonstrate
that God is real,

but it's love,

love that is the greatest
power in the universe.

It's the reason Heidi can
do what she does.

It's why God puts
gold in our mouths

and throws jewels at our feet.

It's love that drives these
students out into their city.

It's love that opens
deaf ears and blind eyes.

It's love that raises the dead.

Love

It was always some
vague cliché to me

but now I was
beginning to see the wild,

overpowering,
extravagant reality

of God's finger
invading our lives.

God is calling all of us
to a life of power.

But that power can only come
through us humbling ourselves.

Setting aside our own
fears and unbelief

and proving to the
people around us

that God is real,

He's relevant

and He's not mad at you.

No matter who you are
or where you're at.

All these people taught me that.

They don't empty themselves
for a paycheck, or for fame

or even for their
own satisfaction.

They die to themselves to love
others because they realize

they can only keep what
they're willing to give away.

God, let the things that
are in heaven

become real here on earth.

Let your heaven
invade this earth.

And so, we know that in heaven
there'll be no illness.

There'll be no disease,
there'll be no strife,

there'll be no suffering.

When we're asking,

"Let your kingdom come
on Earth as it is in heaven,"

we're asking for those heavenly
things to be real here on earth.

And they serve as
manifestations of the Kingdom

Here and now.

The greatest sign as a believer
is love.

Their love level
and their faith level.

First, to love Jesus Christ
with everything inside of them.

Secondly, to be able to
love the people around them.

And it's the love of God
and the compassion of God

that even draws us out
to step out

and to be able to
do these things.

The second thing is faith.

Faith, to be able to believe God

and who He says He is

and to be able
to believe that

we can do
what he says we can do.

I want to say to the
western church

that the biggest miracle of all

is learning how to love.

And that, for me, seeing a child

transformed from
darkness and pain,

from being abused, beaten,
raped, thrown away

my biggest miracles are seeing
their lives change and find joy.

And I just want to say
to the Western church

that God is asking you to
stop for one person every day

and love them.
Don't complicate the gospel

the gospel is all about love.
It's good news.

It's about being
in love with God

and loving the one
in front of you.

Keep it simple.
He's beautiful.

The best example of this
happened at midnight

on the one year anniversary of
when I began this crazy journey.

I was with my friend,
Jason Westerfield

and we were heading home,

when a homeless man
approached us.

He was a stereotype.

He smelled,

wouldn't look us in the eye,
he had a limp

and he was asking for money.

Jason told him he'd give
him some money,

but first he wanted to
give him something better.

So first, he prayed
for the man's back

which he had been
complaining about.

Then, he prayed for his leg.

And I just sat there
and stared at this man.

He had no one. Owned nothing.

Was a homeless bum,
living on the streets.

What was happening
to him right now?

What was God going to do to
show him He loved this man?

And that's when I knew

beyond a shadow of a doubt,
this man was going to be healed.

Not through anything
Jason was doing.

or Heidi...

or Dennis...

or Bill...

or whoever.

But through the love that
God had for this man.

He wasn't homeless.
He was a prince.

He wasn't broken.
He was made whole.

Feels better?

Feels much better

Feels so much better.

Feels much better?
How you doing?

Good

This is William, look at you,
do you feel lighter?

Yeah

All the weights have gone,
and God healed you right there

and God's healed
your neck and back

You look better.
Your face looks normal now.

Yeah, thank you very much

God does work miracles.

He loves you, God set you up
tonight to be right here.

You thought you were coming for
silver and gold, some money

But the Lord said "Hey,

I got something better for you"
He'll give you that,

but He wanted to
bless you tonight.

You're His son, He loves you.

I appreciate everything.

God bless you,
have a good meal okay?

And as he walked away from us
no longer limping

but almost strutting

So happy that he forgot to get
the money he'd approached us for

For the first time I understood
the point of it all.

Why He puts His
fingerprint on our lives

It's proof that He's here.

Proof that he cares.

People that watch
our television show

and have chronic pains
and the pains disappear,

and heart conditions,
and everything you can imagine.

So we have
interactive television

And as a matter of fact,

do you want this
video to be interactive?

I'll pray for people right now.
And they'll be healed.

Ok, I can tell you I see someone
right now that has a headache.

and that headache,
it may seem like a little thing

but if you've had a headache,
it's not a little thing

That headache is gone in Jesus
name, that migraine is stopped.

And there's someone else
whose spine

if you will just
get out of your chair

and just start walking
and bend over

in Jesus name,

the pain is totally
gone and your spine is normal.

Backs are being healed and necks
just move your head, you'll see

The pain, the clicking,
it's gone in Jesus name.

In fact, the presence of God
is so strong right now

in the name of Jesus,

I'll use his Hebrew name,
In the name of Yeshua

In the name of Yeshua

be healed.

Now do something you
could not do before.

Now you either caught

a miracle, which is
an instant healing.

Or a healing, which is
a gradual miracle.

And you can only lose
if you give up.

Don't give up.

He doesn't control you,

like you're a puppet
on the end of the strings

He gives you a relationship.

That's His masterpiece.
