my guests just like you they had read
the Bible they had heard about miracles
but they weren’t seeing much so they
thought maybe if I go to a foreign
country I’ll see Miracles Gary did you
really think you would see Miracles when
you went to Brazil I was hoping to I I
didn’t know because people had told me
about the Miracles and the signs and
wonders that was happening there and my
desire was to not just read about other
people’s experiences but I want to go
and see it
firsthand okay and Cath I assume that’s
what you wanted to so you’re there in
Brazil you’re sitting were you in the
front row no well actually I was about
to yes I
was all right you’re in the front row
and all of a sudden God tells you to do
something that doesn’t make too much
sense no I know I I had never
experienced uh the presence of God like
I was experiencing at that moment it was
so powerfully upon me and God spoke to
me and he said take your shoes off
you’re standing on Holy Ground and my
first reaction was you know I don’t want
to do that I had on nice clean socks it
was a dirty Dusty concrete floor and I
was really resisting what God was
wanting me to do and just a maybe a
minute later God spoke again it was like
this is a little more serious it was
like take your shoes off and I thought
uh-oh just like curios did you think
that first time was God or did you think
that was pizza well I thought it was God
I thought it was God but so often God
speaks to us and and we just let it pass
we don’t really take to heart what God’s
saying we don’t really respond in
obedience okay so he has to tell you two
times then what do you do the second
time well I thought hey this is God I
think I better do this and so I took my
shoes off and I was standing there uh
just in my socks now Kathy were you
watching this little um uh taking off
the shoes business actually I noticed
that that’s I was standing right beside
him so I noticed that that’s what he was
doing doing but there was such a heavy
sense of the presence of the Lord in the
building it was we were all caught up in
worship okay your shoes are off now what
well I was standing there just
worshiping God and uh tears were
starting to come down my cheeks because
it was so strong upon me because of that
obedience and taking my shoes off
because I believe that if I hadn’t done
it what followed would have never
happened I opened my eyes and on the
platform I saw there was dancers up
there I saw two dancers with three
angels dancing around them two more
dancers Three Angels dancing around them
over to the side there a bunch of
individual dancers they all had a very
large Angel arched over them moving all
around with them now had you seen Angels
like this before no there all the whole
it it just messes your whole Paradigm up
totally totally I mean I was shocked at
what I was saying and I just threw my
head back like that and I looked and
above the platform the whole area was
full of worshiping Angels they were they
were playing instruments they were
singing they were dancing it it look
like they were having a party now did
were they did they look like real people
or or were they like transparent well
they were transparent I could see it was
like I could see right through them they
flowing robes as they were dancing it
was the most beautiful site I didn’t
know what to do with it I thought man
because I had been asking God for an
experience like this and when it
happened I didn’t know how to Happ
I thought oh you know am I going crazy
or what is this it’s like it didn’t and
and so I just continued worshiping God
it was like whoa I mean this is off the
charts and I I kept I kept crying out
God I don’t understand all this but I
just want more of you God I want more of
your presence in my life and as I was as
I was saying that I felt myself getting
bigger and taller 15 feet tall it’s like
I turned into this giant and I was
looking down over the people and they
were all worshiping God and I thought
whoa you know this is really cool all of
a sudden I started going up I went all
the way up into the top of the tent now
this is all new for you is this kind of
scary oh it was really scary when I got
when I got to the top of the tent the
the church meets in a tent that seats
3,000 people so it’s a big tent I was in
the top of the tent looking down over
everybody and I was really afraid I
started resisting like I put the brakes
on and as I did that I started coming
back down and I realized oh man I made a
big mistake I I said God forgive me
forgive me up is better up is better for
sure and right then I switched
directions and I started right back up
and it was like Superman I went right
through the top of the tent way up into
the sky I could I was I had a bird’s eye
view of the whole city I could could see
the top of the tent it was glowing I
mean the presence of God was so brightly
shining from the top of the tent and a
hole opened up it’s like God gave me
Zoom Vision I could see right down
through the hole right down into the
tent people worshiping God now this time
I really got afraid because you know I’m
the kind of guy that likes to have
everything in a box you know I like to
have everything in control yes I was way
out of control I was way out of my box
and I started resisting again I had a
fear of the unknown I had a fear of the
supernatural though that’s what I wanted
I was still afraid of it as it was
happening okay so so you’re you’re
you’re up in the air are are you uh do
you see your wife no I didn’t I didn’t
see my
life as I was
resisting again what God was doing
because of fear I started to come back
down and I thought oh man I realized
that God will take us as far as we’re
willing to go you know I’m the one that
I think I’m the one that put the limits
on how far I went with him I honestly
believe that he would have taken me onto
the throne room had I not been resistant
like that so I came back I came I came
all the way back down inside the tent
and I raised my arms it’s like my arms
were a mile long it’s like they went way
up in the sky and I was looking up and I
was saying God forgive me God forgive me
I just want more you I want more of you
and as I was saying that as I was
looking up I saw Jesus coming down and
he had a a white robe on and his hands
were extended out like this and he came
all the way down and he took me by the
hands and he held me real tight as if to
say I’m not going to let you go and I
was I was completely overwhelmed and
overcome by his presence now all of a
sudden my left hand started to burn I’ll
tell you what hold that thought because
the next day so many people got healed
and I say to you many are going to be
healed that are watching right now we’ll
be right back we’ll be right back to its
Supernatural we now return to its
Supernatural hello Sid Roth here with
Gary and Kathy oats and Gary and Kathy
just want to see what the Bible says
they go to Brazil he takes his shoes off
in a meeting
because spirit of God told him to do it
it’s dirty he’s resisting had he not
done that then the next thing would have
happened he’d literally finds himself
out of his body he sees Angels he sees
Jesus uh he comes back into his body and
what happened next well oh you told me
your hands started burning yes my hands
were burning it’s like my left hand was
on fire and I didn’t feel like I could
take it any longer and it was right then
that Jesus let go of my hands and my
spirit came back into my body now
because my spirit had been in the
presence of the Lord like that when my
spirit came back into my body my body
like it exploded now Kathy what did he
say to you after that he couldn’t talk
what do you mean you couldn’t talk you
do a good job no I was listen I was
completely wasted I couldn’t I was
laying on the floor it’s like I was
nailed to the floor I couldn’t I could
hardly move I was crying and I was
saying God I don’t understand all this
stuff I just want more of you I felt so
little and so insignificant in the
presence of almighty God that it was it
was the most incredible awesome
experience I’d ever I’d ever had okay
next day fast forward what happened next
day uh I got to the meeting early uh the
power of God hit me I was on the front
row I hit the floor and again I could
not move and I was thinking what is
going on because I had difficulty
speaking that whole day I mean I
couldn’t even get words out of my mouth
it was the presence of God was on me
continuously during that time I was
weeping well I was on the floor and I
saw the worship team as they began to to
worship and all of a sudden everything
changed and God took me to a place I saw
a Gold Path gold steps another a PL gold
platform now you have to understand he’s
never had experiences like this before
this is more like the Bible than what is
what what is goes on with most religious
Christians so who do you want to choose
you want to choose what a a a a
phenomena that occurs that’s similar to
the Bible or would you like to uh take a
look at religion they I like the Bible
go ahead well I saw the gold platform
gold steps on top of the this top
platform I saw a very large Throne I
didn’t see anybody sitting on the throne
but to the right of the throne I saw
Jesus standing there he was wearing
different clothes this time and he had a
a scepter in his hand and from his waist
up the Brilliance of light coming from
him was overwhelming I could I could I
could bar to look at it and honestly
said I thought I was going to die in
fact I thought you know maybe I have
died and gone to heaven because it was
that real right then I came back into my
body and I was writhing in agony on the
floor I had a look of Terror on my face
I was screaming but no sound was coming
out of my mouth and Kathy saw me in that
condition right and and and she was
huling you know do something do
something to the other guys around me
and right it scared me and they said you
know turn well you think did you think
he was having a heart attack I I didn’t
know what was happening you have to
understand you know coming into a
foreign country
and then all of a sudden Gary I’ve never
I never known him to be afraid about
anything not one thing in his life he’s
always been positive courageous and to
see the terror on his face it was it was
petrifying to me okay what happened next
well I was they didn’t realize what was
happening to me the reason I had the
look of Terror on my face and was just
screaming and Agony was because I I was
so acutely aware of my sinfulness in the
presence of holy God that it just
brought Terror to me and I was crying
out God forgive me God forgive me and I
felt just the cleansing of God coming
over my life it was just like it’s just
like being thrown under a waterfall and
totally cleansed not just outwardly but
inwardly and on the inside again I we
don’t we don’t realize how far removed
we are from what God created us to be we
don’t realize I mean this isn’t a word
you hear here often sinful we don’t
realize how sinful we are unless God
puts his Spotlight on us right that’s
exactly right well my my my heart of
repentance was met with total
forgiveness from the father and I I was
on the floor this time for two hours I
couldn’t get up I couldn’t move I was
weeping when I when I tried to get up I
couldn’t walk out a couple of people had
to help me I ended up in the very back
of the uh of the church on the back row
sitting there and Kathy was asking me
you know what happened what happened and
I couldn’t even tell her because I
wanted to process all of this and I said
I’ll tell you later I’m okay but I was
shaking and vibrating so much in the
chair I could hardly sit in the chair so
they bring you up on the platform and
what type of Miracles were released when
you were there well I mean it was
amazing they had to carry me up on the
platform in a chair I couldn’t walk up
there myself he couldn’t talk I couldn’t
talk and uh I was with Randy Clark and
Randy at he came over to to tell ask me
to tell what was been happening I
couldn’t speak he had Kathy come up
Kathy told what I had told her and the
place came unglued it was like a tornado
just swept through the place people were
falling they were crying out people were
being sovereignly healed there was such
a strong manifest presence of God in the
place were many people healed oh all
over the place right after that once I
was finally able to talk this was a
little later on uh people came up for
prayer
I was able to stand up because only by
the grace of God and I began to pray for
people there was a long line every
person I prayed for was instantly healed
it was like there was a whole different
Dynamic listen Gary Kathy there there’s
the glory that same glory is in this
studio right now did you hear what he
just said every single person he prayed
for was healed don’t go away we’ll be
right back after these words we’ll be
right back to its Supernatural
we now return to its
Supernatural hello Sid Roth here with
Gary and Kathy oats and Kathy Gary had
this marvelous experience but you came
in along by being his wife uh and and
now I understand God has so opened your
eyes when you pray for people you
literally see an angel doing something
and then you do what you see that angel
doing to explain that I do um well it
started right after the situation with
Gary happened it was on that same trip
we were in a large Auditorium and all of
a sudden I started seeing Angels behind
people and it was a night when there was
a an anointing but not a real strong
anointing in the place like and so as I
began to pray for those very people that
I saw the Angels behind they got healed
one right after the other and I did what
I saw the angel do like if the angel
would blow on their head I would blow
isn’t that what Jesus said I only do
what I see my heav father doing that’s
right that’s a that’s a great position
to be in now Gary I have your book open
my eyes Lord which I’ve read tell me why
in your heart of hearts why you wrote
this well said I wrote that because I
wanted everybody to know that the
supernatural realm is available to
everyone you know what I experienced in
the heavens the Angelic
visitations everyone everyone every
person can receive the same thing it’s
available for every one of us and so I
wanted to lay it out there in a very
practical way that everybody could
understand all right tell me one person
that’s read this book and what has
happened to them that Pastor you were
talking about oh well he came to one of
our meetings and when I was talking
about this and he called me six weeks
later he said I was in your meeting I
left disappointed because nothing
happened and he said I’m the type of
Pastor he said I’ve got a big Library
you know I like like to study real
Theologian type guy and he said but I
did what you said I began to spend time
alone seeking the face of God and
experiencing his manifest presence every
day and he said Sunday I got up during
worship time the presence of God came
all over me he said I was trembling God
spoke to me and he said do you want to
see something I said yes he said God
open my eyes and I saw a parade of
angels coming at me he said every type
of Angel worshiping angel healing Angels
ministering Spirits Warrior angels and
he said I ended up on the floor I didn’t
even get to preach that day he said my
life has been radically changed as a
result of that prayer of impartation now
you have have the prayer and you have uh
the what what to do to get intimacy with
God but tell me step by step because um
Kathy you do it just just like Gary what
do you do to receive the presence of God
to soak in his glory tell tell me what
what you do daily well both of us I
think we spend time alone with the Lord
every day uh but it’s just a quiet time
there’s no music going it’s just this
sense of total peace where we begin to
entertain the presence of the Lord and
during that time we’re soaking in the
presence and as we uh consume his
presence so to speak then the Lord
begins to minister more and more
supernaturally it’s just it it’s a whole
new
world and but don’t you find it boring
just sitting still well no because when
you’re in that state God begins to speak
to you you hear his voice you uh
understand his presence sometimes I just
feel like I’m in the throne room with
the father and the Lord Jesus and we’re
having a strategy meeting and he begins
to show me things that he once done or
uh people that he once prayed for it’s
like there’s this intimacy we’re friends
friends just like I talked to you I
talked to him but you know Z one thing
when I first started doing this it was
really difficult I could not keep my
mind on the on anything my mind was
going a million directions and and it
took me forever but I persevered I I
stayed in there I just I I pressed in
for more of the presence of God I just
kept crying out God I just want more of
you more of your presence I used to pray
and ask God for God do this God do that
give me this give me that and I said
wait a minute I just want more of him
nothing else matters I just want more of
him and as I cried it out God I just
want more of you more of you more of you
and I pressed in for that I begin to
sense the Manifest presence of God not
just like on you know in a in a church
service or Sunday or whatever but every
day at home I started experiencing that
and that’s what that was the difference
now it doesn’t take any time at all it’s
like boom because of practicing his
presence mhm tell me very briefly about
that person with the tumor where you saw
fire coming into their head oh yeah this
was really interesting we were praying
for this man he was in his mid 70s he
had a brain tumor he had had surgery the
doctor said there’s nothing more we can
do for you they sent him home to die he
came to this church with his wife and
they asked us to go in the back and pray
with this man as we were praying for him
I saw a large Angel to my right bring
his wings out and put them around the
man and just it was it was a real tender
moment and as I was looking again at it
I couldn’t believe what I saw on the
other side of that angel was a smaller
Angel this Angel was blowing fire into
the man’s head it looked like a
blowtorch of fire and I stopped and I
said wait a minute I said are you are
you feeling anything is anything
happening right now and he said oh yes
my head my head it’s so hot my head is
like it’s on fire it’s burning up and I
was rejoicing he he said I’m Healed I’m
Healed and I said wow I said I want you
to go back to the doctor and have the
doctor to confirm the healing he said I
don’t have to I don’t have to I’m Healed
I know I’m Healed I said well I believe
you’re healed too listen when you know
it you know it but let me tell you
something just ordinary people once
their eyes are opened they’re seeing the
invisible world I want you to take a
look at this young girl that has just
