SID: Hello. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. I have been so looking forward to this show, because my guest is from England. She’s a businesswoman. She opens up shops, but they’re very unusual shops. They have signs in the window: “We pray for miracles. We interpret dreams.” Who’s ever heard of such a shop like this? And large numbers of non-believers of the Messiah go into her shop. And God must be so pleased. For the first time we got down the four walls and we’re doing what we’re created to do. Better than 90 percent of these non-believers get miracles and healings when they walk into the shop and then they are open to a presentation that there’s only one way to know God, and that’s through the Jewish rabbi, Jesus. So Alice, I love what God is doing in your life. I love the fact that you’re in the marketplace, you’re starting businesses. And I’ve seen the picture of the sign in one of your businesses, and the sign says, it’s like in chalkboard, and it says: “Free! Healings, miracles, dream interpretation.” Do many non-believers take advantage of this?
ALISS: I’m surprised by the number of people that come in that just walking down the street, they’re doing their shopping, they’re coming as tourists, they’re visiting Chester, and they see the sign. They come in asking about free miracles.
SID: Well you know, it didn’t just happen. What I find is many that operated in the gift of miracles, there was a price to pay. Alice, you tell me that you cried out for 12 years. What do you mean by that?
ALISS: Well I read the scriptures. I read the miracles that Jesus did. I read that he told us that we could do the same and even greater things. And I read about past revivalists that were doing this stuff, and I thought, I want to do that. I just believe the Bible and I want to do it. But I would pray for people and I didn’t see miracles happening. And people would say, just give up, you’ve been trying too long.
SID: Not just people. There’s a little voice in your head that says, not for me. I identify that voice right now. It’s the devil. Go ahead.
ALISS: Yeah. But I just said, no, I believe what the Word of God says. So I’m going to continue.
SID: But 12 years is a long time.
ALISS: Twelve long years. I would be up in the night. I was praying. I was crying, I was fasting. I mean, people, you know, I prayed. People would get worse. Some people died. I mean, it was a nightmare.
SID: Okay. You open your shop. You have that nice sign in the window. Tell me one of the first miracles that happened.
ALISS: Well, to start with, we opened a café and it was in a housing estate with lots of crime and drugs. And this teenager comes in and the police have warned us about him. Out of the whole neighborhood of 18,000 people, we’re warned about this one young guy. And he comes in. He gives a false name.
SID: Can you picture that? The one person they’re warned about, she’s warned by the police about, wanders into their shop. I’m sorry. Go ahead.
ALISS: Yeah. You know, it was just as soon as we opened our café. He comes in and we just happen to be talking about words of knowledge. So we say, “Would you like a word of knowledge?” So we tell him something that he was doing the day before where he got into trouble. And he’s like, “How do you know that?” And I said to him, “Well…”
SID: If I was the police department, I’d hire her.
ALISS: So I said to him, I said, “Because God was there and God just told me what you did.” And he was like, “God was there!” I mean, he was so scared. The color drained from his face. But he had a broken ankle because he had been climbing onto a roof of a house.
SID: Why was he climbing on the roof?
ALISS: Well you know, he was trying to break in the house.
SID: Okay.
ALISS: And he fell off the roof, broke his ankle. And a lot of these people, they won’t to to hospital because the police would find out. So he said, we said to him, “Can we pray for your ankle and Jesus will heal it.” He says, “Yeah, whatever.” So we pray for his ankle. Instantly, the bones reconstructed and went back together and he was healed, and that was the first of the many miracles that we’ve had.
SID: Tell me, because this is outrageous what you’re about really, totally outrageous. I want Alice to tell me about a man by the name of Terry [name].
ALISS: That’s one of my favorite stories. This guy comes into our café and we’re talking to him about miracles. And he says, “Oh, I need a miracle.” So he explained. He said, “Five years ago,” he said, “I was climbing through a broken window.” And I would like to say, “What were you doing climbing through a broken window?”
SID: You get a lot of people like that. Have you noticed?
ALISS: We do. But we love them. God loves them so much. And he was climbing through the window and the bits of glass on the frame of the windowpane, you know, the frame, went into his fingers. And he didn’t go to hospital. So all these years later, the glass was still there. I could see marks. It was hard. His friend said, “I’ve tried with a knife to get the glass out,” it sounds disgusting, “and it wouldn’t come out.” So I said to him, I said, “Jesus will get the glass out.” So I grabbed his hands.
SID: Now when you said that, did you really believe that?
ALISS: Yeah.
SID: Okay.
ALISS: Why not? The thing is, you see, Jesus, when he died on the cross 2000 years ago, he’s done it all, so we just got to take it. So I just grabbed his hands and I said, “In the name of Jesus, I command all the glass to come out of his body.” Well he goes home. He comes back into the café the next day. He says, “You’ll never guess what happened in the night. I’ve been up all night,” he said. “Bits of glass have been coming out of my fingers on their own.” He didn’t even go to bed. He just pulled them out. It didn’t hurt. The glass was coming out. But he said, “The funny thing is,” he said, “for 30 years I’ve had a problem with my foot.” And he’d had this pain in his foot. Couldn’t walk properly. There was a hole like that in the sole of every pair of shoes he had for 30 years. And he said, “As the glass is coming out of my fingers in the night,” he thinks, “what is going on with my foot?” He looks down. He sees a tiny piece of glass.
SID: Is that what was making the hole in his shoes?
ALISS: Yeah. Nobody knew. You see, he didn’t know. I didn’t know. But the glass comes out of his foot. What I didn’t know is that there was glass there. But I’d said, “In the name of Jesus, every bit of glass come out of his body.” I didn’t say his fingers. And “At the name of Jesus, every knee is going to bow,” including glass in somebody’s foot. It had to come out.
SID: Do you know what that reminds me of? Do you remember when Jesus said, “Lazarus, come forth,” and Lazarus rose from the dead? If Jesus had said, “Dead, come forth,” oy vey. We’ll be right back.
