Our Guest Warren Marcus

SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Warren Marcus. And as the rabbis always say to me, are both of your parents Jewish? Warren, are both of your parents Jewish?

WARREN: Definitely. Both of my parents are Jewish. And as far as I know, all the generations were all Jewish.

SID: Warren had an outstanding career on Madison Avenue as a film producer, filmmaker, and then you blink your eyes a few times and he’s working 700 Club, Jerry Falwell, Sid Roth. What’s a nice Jewish guy working for all these Christian organizations?

WARREN: I really believe God really has for every single person, Ephesians the book of Ephesians says that, “He foreknew us before the foundation of the world and has actually a calling and destiny for every one of us. But we need to step into that destiny.” And so for me, I mean God sought me, because I was five years old. I’m playing with my friend outside and there’s this lightning and thunderstorm starts. And he says, “I’m going home. Lightning, it could kill you.” Then next thing, about 15 feet away, a flash of lightning hits right on the ground. Well, I got up and I started crying. I ran into the house, and my agnostic Jewish sister picks me up. She says, “What’s wrong?” And I said, “It’s lightning. It could kill me.” So she looks at me, “Lightning. It won’t hurt you. God will protect you.”

WARREN: So, I never heard you know God? And she goes, “You can’t see him. He’s invisible. He lives in a place called heaven, but yet he’s everywhere.” So I thought, “Is he in my bedroom at night when it’s dark?” she goes “Yes, he’s there too.” So I got more frightened of this unseen entity named God than the lightning and thunder. And I was in that room at night. It was dark, and I was so petrified. And I finally fell asleep and, Sid, I had a dream that I was in heaven, lightning and thunder. I was frightened. And then in a distance, I saw the clouds parting in a circular fashion and the most beautiful golden light. I didn’t realize, but it was the Shekinah Glory of God that I was seeing.

Our Guest Dale Mast

SID: Dale, you say identity is supernatural. What do you mean?

DALE: Well, David was overlooked by his father, that’s the natural, yet chosen by God, that’s the supernatural, but David didn’t know it until there was a supernatural event where Samuel poured oil over his head and changed the way he thought about his future.

SID: And this has to do with identity shift.

DALE: And identity purpose. It’s very important that we understand that there are many identity shifts in each person’s life. I started off as a youth leader, a worship leader, then I was an elder, then I was actually a pastor. And Bishop Bill Hamon looked at me and said, “You think you’re a pastor that prophesies but God says you’re a prophet who pastors.” And God just turned my… He took off my baseball cap of pastor, he put on a prophet mantle, and I started acting as a prophet who happened to pastor, and that’s where I had my greatest fruit.

SID: Now, look, you had the gift of prophecy, you knew you were a prophet, so you never had any doubt about your destiny.

DALE: No, I was prophesying for years and I really did not have the identity of a prophet. I saw it as a gift. And then I saw myself as a prophet, and I would say this, “I’m a prophet but not to the nations.” And one time I heard God’s voice and He said, “Will you stop saying that?”

DALE: Two years later I was in Burma, there was a pastor there, I took a ring off my finger and I put it on his, and I said, “I call you as a Joseph to your nation.” He told me the testimony, he laughed, but after I left a tsunami went through Burma and Myanmar and actually wiped out the nation. It was very destructive. And in it, he remembered the word, not one of his 8,000 members died, he said, “I ought do something for the community.” This is before social media. And it got out somehow what he was doing and over the next six months millions of dollars came to him to get food, and they actually opened up Buddhist temples for him to feed the people. And the Buddhists came to them and said, “If it would have been the Christians, we wouldn’t have helped you. Why are you helping us?” He said, “I never thought I’d be Joseph but what you prophesied come to pass.”

Our Guest Dr. Jennifer Miskov

SID: Jennifer, one more quick story about Azusa Street. I can’t hear enough about what God did in that. It started with a one-eyed African American pastor and a few African Americans and spread worldwide. Tell me one more, quick.

JENNIFER: So I was just doing some tent meetings in Kentucky a few months ago in a place where the Cane Ridge Revival and the Great Awakening was birthed. And I’m sharing about the revival history of Kentucky. And then I decided to add the story of Azusa Street on top of those stories. And as soon as I did that, a guy watching starts to shake like he’s getting electrocuted. People start coming to the front, not even being invited, lay down prostrate and there’s mud. They’re literally on their knees and on their face-

SID: I heard it was raining there.

JENNIFER: … in the mud because they wanted more of God. And these are Christians who are like, “I’m all in,” consecrating themselves. I’ve never seen that. I was marked and moved and it inspired even me just to see their hunger. It was incredible.

SID: How important is fasting in most of the great moves of God in the history of the world? How important?

JENNIFER: Well, I don’t know if you knew this, but Azusa Street Revival was birthed when William J. Seymour and a few of his friends were on a 10 day fast. And that is crazy because a century later, we are still living in the momentum of a 10 day fast that a small group of people went on. That’s incredible.

SID: Tell me some others that you know about.

JENNIFER: Most revivals have been marked by hunger and the way you get hungry is you fast. And so I’m sure you can probably trace most, any revival. Evan Roberts would pray and fast for 13 years for a move of God, until he finally saw a move of God in 1904. And he realized what he was praying his whole life for had finally come when, I think a handful of people got saved.

SID: I understand that one of the people that mentored you, one of the true heroes of the faith, Heidi Baker, what happened when she fasted?

JENNIFER: Oh, she was on, I believe, a five day fast. As a teenager, when God called her to Africa, England and Asia, she got her life defining call on a fast early in her life. And she’s since we know the nation of Mozambique has absolutely changed because she’s given her life to them. And that came from being on a fast.

SID: Fasting is so misunderstood, Jennifer.

JENNIFER: Yeah.
