Jodie and Ben Hughes were leaders and hosts of the Pineapple Revival—a powerful Holy Spirit outpouring in Australia. But during its days, Jodie found herself in the midst of an intense personal struggle, including a major battle for her health. Weighing a mere 80 pounds, Jodie came out of her adversity and the principles she learned were tested and proven.
My guest’s sickness,
it got so bad, the only option
was to remove her
entire bowel, parts of
her stomach and have
her live the rest of
her life on a feeding tube.
Then an angel showed up.
Next.
[Applause]
SR: I have Jodie Hughes here,
and she’s been a guest
before with her husband,
and they were involved
in Australia in something
called the Pineapple Revival
because it had a big
pineapple out in front
of the building they were in.
They saw thousands,
I mean, thousands of
people healed and
saved and speaking in
tongues, and they
saw everything,
and in the midst of this
– No one knew it except
perhaps Jodie’s family,
but she battled horrific
sickness for 30 years.
JH: Yeah. Yeah.
A long time.
SR: And in the
midst of that sickness,
you learned about
the King’s Decree.
JH: Yes.
SR: Tell me about this.
JH: Yeah.
SR: What is the King’s
Decree, by the way?
JH: The King’s Decree is
releasing the Word of the
Lord from your own mouth,
but it’s more than that.
I believe that we
are the King’s Decree,
that we carry the
authority on the Earth to
release the Word of God
and that God has called
us, anointed us and
appointed us to be the
literal King’s Decree
on the Earth, and
it’s our mouth that
God is asking us to open
and decree and release
what He’s saying from Heaven.
SR: And, you know,
with our mentality,
it’s hard to believe that.
JH: Yeah.
SR: We can believe that if
someone is one television.
JH: Yeah.
SR: But are you saying
that everyone watching us
right now has been
given the trust from
God Almighty to be a living
King’s Decree on this Earth?
JH: Absolutely.
Matthew 18:18 says, “What
you bind on Earth shall be
bound in Heaven, and what
you release on Earth shall
be released in Heaven,”
and that’s not saying you
with the microphone, you
with a television show,
you who, you know, is
your favorite mentor.
It’s saying, “You.”
Every single one of us
who believes in Jesus,
our voice must bind on the
Earth and must release on
the Earth because we
are His representatives,
His ambassadors on Earth.
[Applause]
SR: And you learned
about the King’s Decree
and you learned a
lot about healing
in 30 years of battling.
Tell me about
how bad it got.
JH: Yeah. It was really bad.
SR: Thirty years
is a long time.
JH: It’s a long time.
SR: And why didn’t you just
say, “I give up. I guess I’m
going to be like this the
rest of my life”?
JH: There was a
knowing in my heart,
what God was saying, that
God was decreeing healing,
that God is the God of
Resurrection Life and
there were hard
moments indeed,
but there was a faith
in my heart that God has
spoken a different Word,
and there were moments
where I would literally
get up in my hospital
room, and I would get up,
and I’d have tubes coming
out of me everywhere.
It would be quite
funny to watch. But
I would go –
SR: I don’t know.
I think I would’ve cried.
JH: I was crying many times,
but I’d go into the bathroom,
and I’d march around, and
I’d hold on my promises
and the Word of God,
and when I saw march,
I mean shuffle, and
I would have tears,
but I’d be speaking
out, and I’d be saying,
“God, You are the God
of Resurrection Life.
You’re the God
of healing.”
You know, Psalm 44:4
says, “My God and my
King decrees victories for
Israel,
for God’s people, for Jacob,”
some of the
translations say, and I’d say,
“Well, Jacob limped.
I’m limping. There’s
been a cost, God,
but I am decreeing that
You’re the God who
decrees victories,”
and I’d march
around and around.
SR: You know, I think the
key is that God looked at
you and said, “I think I
can trust this woman.”
JH: Yeah. I think there’s
something about
perseverance, Sid.
SR: Yeah.
JH: There’s something
about being the one who
continues to knock, the
one who continues to ask,
the one who
continues to believe,
and faith is believing in
what we’ve not seen yet,
and so there is something
about knowing that
I may not have seen
it fully yet,
but I believe that I’ve
seen it in the Spirit,
and I’m going to keep
asking until I’ve seen it
in the natural.
SR: Tell me
how bad it got.
JH: Well, there were
many complications.
I was diagnosed with an
incurable bowel disease.
I was also allergic
to the medication.
I had a couple of
operations that went
wrong, made things even
worse. There was
irreparable damage.
SR: In the meantime,
you and your husband are
seeing thousands and
thousands of people healed.
JH: Yes. We’ve been
in ministry forever,
and we would always
have the manifestation
of healing.
We would always have
supernatural miracles
taking place, and I would
see that to an extend in
my life, but largely, I
was getting worse and
worse, and so I was
leaning in and pressing in
because I would often
pray, too.
I would be like, “God, if
You can do it for them,
You’re doing it for
me,” but at the same time,
I believed every time we
saw a miracle in front of
our eyes that this was
warfare for my miracle,
too, because I was like,
“The longer You keep me
unwell, God, we’re going
to see more and more and
more healed in
the name of Jesus.”
[Applause] SR: So, I’m
taking your [Indistinct].
JH: Yeah.
SR: It’s unbearable.
They take you to
the hospital again.
JH: Yeah.
SR: Take it from there.
JH: Yeah.
I end up in hospital
because at this point,
I was down to
about 80 pounds.
SR: Wow.
JH: I was really unable
to eat at this point.
SR: Eighty pounds?
JH: Yeah. I was skin and
bones and very weak,
and my spirit was alive.
We’d been in the
midst of revival,
so my spirit was alive,
but my body was broken,
and at this point, I was
even struggling to drink
water, and so I knew
I needed to go to
the hospital, and
so we arrived.
They immediately stuck
me into see the doctors.
The doctors came in, and
they said again to me,
“Jodie, we have no medical
hope for you other than to
remove your entire bowel,
half your stomach and feed
you through a tube for the
rest of your life,”
and it’s in those
moments, Sid,
that you discover what
you really believe in.
It’s in those
moments that you go,
“Am I going to let this
word sink into my heart,
or do I believe what
God has said to me?
Do I believe what
He’s saying to me now?”
And I remember something
in my spirit just going,
“No. This is not what the
Lord has promised me.
This is not my days,” and
I remember just crying out
to Him, but my body
was really broken.
At one point, they stuck
me in a wheelchair
because I didn’t even
have strength. My muscles
had eaten away, and I didn’t
have strength to stand.
I can clearly
remember one day,
I said to my husband,
Ben, “Take me down to the
hospital chapel,” and
we prayed together,
and my prayer had been and
was in that moment –
It was very specific.
I was, “God, open up the
books of Heaven where You
have written down my
promises and my days.
Open them up, and
You read them out.
You read them out from the
throne room because
You are not a man
that You can lie,
and when You
read them out,
I know that things shift
on the Earth,” and
I would say over and over,
“God, you are still the
God of Lazarus.”
[Applause]
JH: “It doesn’t matter
how hopelessly
circumstances look. You
are the God of Lazarus,
and you are the God of
Resurrection Power.”
SR: Yeah.
JH: “So my body
needs to change.”
SR: Lazarus in the Bible
literally died, and Jesus –
JH: Yeah.
SR: – Jesus, well, took
a few days to get there.
JH: Yeah.
SR: So, they said he stank.
JH: Yeah.
SR: But he came back to life,
and so you –
JH: That gave me hope.
SR: You said, “God, you’re
the God of Lazarus.”
JH: I did say that, and it
gave me hope because I was
like, “His circumstances
were beyond hope,” and so
it gave me hope that my
circumstances were not
beyond the hope of Jesus.
But I was feeling
terrible in that moment,
and I knew in myself,
“God, this is desperate.
I need a miracle now,”
and I said to my husband,
“We need people
to prayer. We need
people to stand with us,”
and I am a fighter.
I’m naturally a fighter,
but even in myself,
I was like, “I need some
people to stand with me
right now.” And Ben
put out an online
prayer call, and
within an hour, there
were thousands praying.
It was incredible.
I knew God was raising
up an army for us in that
moment, and I started
to feel hope arise,
and I started to feel a
shift in the atmosphere.
That’s the only way
I can describe it,
lying in my bed,
unable to move,
and the atmosphere
started to feel electric,
and I can feel that even
right now as I’m saying it.
SR: I have found that when
people share when God has
touched them in
a profound way,
the same presence comes
right out on the audience
or those watching by TV.
JH: Yeah.
SR: And you’re
the audience, too.
JH: Yeah. Well, there
was an electricity,
and in that moment, I
received a word from a
dear friend of
ours, Isaiah 43,
but there’s one verse
in that where it says,
“You’ll walk through the fire,
but you won’t be burned,” and he
didn’t know that
one of the things that was going
on in my body was
that I’d had an
allergic reaction again.
My insides felt like
they were on fire.
SR: Mm.
JH: And as soon as I
received that word,
faith landed in my heart,
and within a moment,
the fire sensation that
I had in my body left,
and then faith started
to rise even higher.
[Applause]
JH: I was like, “God,
You’re doing something.
Things are shifting.
I decree that you’re the
God of Lazarus still,” and
I noticed that I could
start to move around a
little bit, but all of a sudden,
Sid, all of a sudden, as
I was lying in my bed,
I looked over in the corner
of my hospital room,
and I saw an angel
drop into the hospital room.
My eyes were open.
It was like the angel
was superimposed
over the natural,
but I wasn’t asleep.
I was awake,
and I could see this
angel standing there,
and in a moment,
I just became emotional,
and I was like, “God,
You remembered me.
God, You remembered
me.” Even in Isaiah 43,
it says, “You’ve
called me by name,”
and I kept crying
out, and I was like,
“God, You’ve open up the
book in Heaven.
I know you’re reading my
promises right now,” and
I’m looking at this angel,
and I could see very
clearly this angel had
a clipboard and a pen.
And as you know in
supernatural encounters,
they’re supernatural
because I somehow knew on
this clipboard was
all my promises,
that God had
opened them up,
and He’d sent an angel
from the very throne room
– SR: To let you
know He was reading.
JH: To let you know He was
reading them right then,
and the atmosphere
was thick and electric,
and I could feel the glory
of the Lord and the hope
of the Lord and His
faith and His love,
and I’m watching
this angel, and
this angel, you know,
I’m watching it pick up
the pen and mark off
promise after promise
after promise, and I’m
feeling things start to
shift in my body. I can
feel things shifting again
as I’m saying this right now.
I know you who are
listening right now – God
is reading out promises
from Heaven right now in
our lives, and things
are beginning to shift!
Amen! And I’m lying
there, and, you know,
I’ve often called this
angel a ticked-off angel
because in Australia, we
say tick off inside of
check off or mark off.
SR: I’m glad
you translated.
JH: Yes.
But this angel, at first,
had a stern look on its
face, and even as I
was looking at it,
and the presence of
the Lord was so thick,
I was like, “Why is
the angel ticked off,
looking so serious?”
And then as the angel
started to tick off a few
more promises, I realized
that affliction was
leaving my body, and
torment was leaving my
body, and pain was
leaving my body,
and the angel’s demeanor
started to change,
and there was this sense
of peace that came over
this angel, different,
and I knew in that moment,
the angel had not been
stern or ticked off with me.
The angel was ticked off
with the enemy who had
kept my body in affliction
and torment for
so many years, and
again I’m watching,
and I’m seeing
the angel again,
and, you know,
it’s hard to explain,
but in that moment, there
were just tears dripping
my eyes as I’m crying out
again and again and again,
“God, You’ve
remembered me.
You’re the God of
Lazarus still!”
And there were
more ticks and ticks,
and I understood in this
vision that God had not
forgotten a single promise
that was written over my life.
He had not forgotten
there was an order to it.
There was an
alignment to it.
I knew that there were way
more promises on that –
They just went on and on
and on in that moment.
SR: That meant you
were going to live a
long, long, long,
long, long time.
JH: Yes. Amen. Amen.
[Applause]
JH: And I could feel
health being returned
to my body, and anyone
who’s walked a long
journey, they understand
that there’s a sense of
sickness in you, and
I felt that leaving,
and there was a
sense of knowing,
“I’m getting well.
I’m getting well,” and I
heard the Holy Spirit say
to me, “You can
rest now, Jodie.”
Well, I woke up the
very next morning in the
hospital room to a
nurse standing next to me,
and I looked, and
everything felt different.
I felt different.
I looked in the corner,
and I was like,
“The angel is not there.”
I couldn’t see the angel.
SR: Mm-hmm.
JH: But I knew the
angel was still at work.
I knew God was still at
work, and the nurse
was taking all my
observations, and
she said, “Wow. You’re
doing well,” and there
was this look of
shock on the nurse.
SR: I can picture that.
JH: Yes, and I
am thinking, “Yes.
Thank you, Jesus.
I am doing well.”
I knew I was
doing a lot better.
Well, that day, I was able
to – They allowed me to
try and eat some food, and
I’d not been able to eat,
and I was able to eat,
so then they gave me
something else to
eat, and I was starving,
and I was able to
eat. I was able to drink.
I was able to
get up, and, yes,
I was weak, but I
was walking, and I
was, you know, walking
around in the room.
Well, that same day,
the very next day,
the night before
there was no hope.
Doctors had no
hope for me.
The very next day, they
released me from hospital,
but this is what’s
incredible about it.
The doctor’s name who
signed my release form
from hospital was
called Dr. Lazarus!
[Applause]
SR: All right.
When we return, Jodie is
going to pray the Lazarus
comeback, which will
activate healing in

“It’s Supernatural!”
[Applause]
SR: Jodie, I mean,
when you found out the
doctor’s name was Lazarus,
you must have gone wild.
JH: Come on!
[Laughs]
SR: What did Lazarus have
to think about your health?
JH: I just knew it was a
smile from Heaven
and God saying, “I’ve
heard your prayer, Jodie.
You’re coming out of the grave.
You’re coming
out of the tomb.”
SR: So, what does the
Lazarus comeback mean
to those that are watching?
Look at them and tell them.
JH: Wow. The Lazarus comeback:
Let me tell you this.
[Music] John 11:11 says this,
“Our friend, Lazarus, has
fallen asleep, but I am
going there to wake him up.”
Lazarus’ story was
beyond hope, and yet,
Jesus came and brought
him out of the tomb,
and that’s what Lazarus
comeback miracles are.
When there is no
hope, Jesus is our hope.
Resurrection power is our hope,
and comeback stories are
popping in your life
even now. Ha-ha! [Applause]
SR: Jodie, as you know,
throughout the world –
JH: Yeah.
SR: – fear on even
God’s children,
on even believers is almost
too much to take
for many people, but you have
a statement called,
“Fear is not your prophet.”
Explain that.
JH: Yeah. Well, with such a
long health journey,
there were many times I
would find myself dwelling
on what fear
was saying to me.
I didn’t recognize it
all the time at first.
I would just find myself
thinking about my future
days and, you know,
listening to fear that I
didn’t have future days,
that it was worst-case
scenario, and I’d dwell
on it, and I was just –
I was actually having a
shower one day,
and I heard the Holy
Spirit say those
words to me. “Jodie,
fear is not your prophet,”
and in a moment,
it broke off fear, and
what I knew God was
saying to me was,
fear is not allowed to be
a directive
influence in how we think of
our future.
Fear is not allowed to prophesy
over our future.
Fear is not allowed to
tell us what tomorrow is
going to look like, and
it broke something in
my heart where I
knew God was saying,
“Stop letting fear
prophesy tomorrow to
you, Jodie,” and so when
I would feel fear come
against me, I’d laugh,
and I’d go, “No.
Actually, God is
saying the exact opposite.
My future is
full of health.
My future is full of
the blessings of God.
My future is
full of great days,
and every last promise
that God has given me,
that is what
my future is.”
SR: Jodie, while you
were fighting all of this,
these problems
you were having,
especially you spent a lot
of time in the bathroom,
and rather than
to self-pity,
you had a booming
ministry in bathrooms.
JH: I did.
SR: Tell me about one.
JH: I still do.
I would say that the place
of my attack would become
a place of victory, and
I was determined that
miracles would break out.
If the enemy was going to
send me to the bathroom,
miracles would break out.
I remember one
time in a Walmart,
and I could hear a lady
swearing her head off in
the bathroom, and I
originally was – I was bit
annoyed at her, but then
the compassion of God
came on me, and so
when I saw her,
I said, “Sounds like
you’re having a hard day.
Can I bless you?”
And as I stood in a
Walmart bathroom,
I started to pray
for her and bless her.
She started crying. I
started speaking
God’s hope over her, and
within a few moments,
she was giving her
life back to Jesus.
[Applause]
SR: We must pray
right now. Repeat
after me. Mean it to the
best of your ability.
Jesus. Say that loud.
Jesus, I make you my
Savior and my Lord.
I’m so sorry for my past.
I believe that Your
blood washes that away,
and I have a new start.
I want to know You.
I don’t want to
just know about You.
I want to know You!
Be my Savior and Lord.
Amen.
And while you
were watching,
God had a bonus for you.
Someone’s wrist has
just been healed.
Would you pray, Jodie?
JH: Sure.
Jesus, we thank You right
now that You are touching
people’s hearts, that
You’re touching people’s
hearts with the ability to
recalibrate with the fire
of God, with the
holiness of God,
and right now, I
speak a grace over you.
I can hear God saying,
“Let my people go,” and
that starts right now
with the letting go of the
captives in our own heart.
Jesus, we ask for the
grace to lay down every
offense, to lay down every
just unforgiveness and
bitterness that we have
held against the body,
that we’ve held
against others, Father,
and I ask right now for a
recalibration of
our hearts to the Kingdom
temperature of hot,
that we would be hot,
boiling hot after Your
Kingdom, Father,
after You, Jesus.
Lord, I just ask for a
grace right now to know
that you have called us,
anointed us and appointed
us for this season of viral
revival, Father, and that
You are touching Your
people right now.
Jesus, I just decree
healings right now in the
name of Jesus, that
every just affliction and
disease is being
broken off right now.
I speak a Lazarus-style
comeback of Your words and
Your promises and every
last word that God has
spoken over your life.
I decree Resurrection
Power even now, ha,
and that you are
called to thrive in
this season. There’s
an anointing coming on
your voice right now. [Music]
Many of you have felt a
muzzle over your voice.
I just break that off right
now in the Name of Jesus.
You walk in authority.
You walk in fire, and I
release His fire over you,
ha, even now in
the Name of Jesus.
SR: Well, all I
have to say is, “Ha!”
JH: Ha-ha!
[Applause]
