Sid Roth - Jesus Taught Me the Warrior's Dance in Heaven
Hello, Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it's naturally supernatural. My guest went to Heaven and had the Warrior's Dance downloaded into her spirit. It's a totally different paradigm and revelation on defeating the devil. Are you ready to defeat the devil?
Sid Roth: I have my guest Ana Werner here and, Ana, you are so free in the Spirit. Well, I'll tell you something that excites me. There's such a misunderstanding, even when you hear the word, spiritual warfare.
Ana Werner: Yep.
Sid Roth: You take this whole realm of spiritual warfare into a whole new dimension. In fact, you call it dances even though it's not necessarily you're dancing, but you use the word dances. Why?
Ana Werner: Well, you know, when we think of spiritual warfare, I don't think we think of it in terms of that, right? We think of going into war as in, like, you know, we've got our combat boots on and our sword drawn. We're going to, like, take the enemy down! But here's the thing. I had this vision. I was taken up into Heaven, and I was going through a really hard season. And I was taken up, and when I was there, I had this bridal gown on, and I was wearing these really old worn-out tennis shoes. And I was running towards Jesus, and I was out of breath, which I think is how most of us feel when we're in warfare. We feel tired out, worn down, weary, you know, and Jesus, He looked at me and He said, "No, no, no, Ana". And He said, "Listen, take these," and I looked in His hands, and there's these beautiful ballerina-dancing slippers, and He said, "Put these on and worship". So I put on the slippers. I took my old sneakers off, put on the slippers, and then I started dancing, and as I danced and I worshiped there was, uh, different colors were released in the Throne Room there in Heaven, and I realized we have more power when we combat the enemy through victorious worship than the placement of being in the posture of defeat. That is not the correct posture to do war with the enemy.
Sid Roth: You have such a wonderful example. It was a difficult time. You were in Africa with your husband, and he was dying.
Ana Werner: He had gotten a blood infection. It was staph blood infection, and his stomach was bleeding, and he had a fever that was really high, and the doctor said to us, "You know, Ana," they pulled me aside and said, "If he doesn't get better and turn a course soon, you're going to have to go back to the states". So I went into the little kitchenette, and I prayed, and my prayer wasn't filled with faith. I said, "Dear God, what am I going to do"? I said, "God, show me what to do. Help me. Help me". And He said, "Ana, go in there and sing the Name of Jesus over Sam," my husband. So I went in the little room, and I said, "Sam, I'm going to sing the Name of Jesus over you. I know it doesn't make sense, but that's what I know to do". And he said, "Oh, oh". I said, "That's good enough. That's an okay". So I put my hand on his forehead that was boiling hot, and I sang. And I sang, "Jesus" and as I sang just the Name of Jesus, all I sang, the fever went down. It got cooler on his head. And I went, "Oh, it's working"! So then I put my hand on his chest, which was still boiling hot, and I sang the Name of Jesus, and then it broke there, and I kept going, you know, all the way down to his feet, and then finally the fever broke. He sat up in bed, and he said, "I'm hungry". I went, "Thank You, Jesus".
Sid Roth: I love your teaching of, and she breaks it, She calls these dances because you're from a, And I hope you got this because you are fighting from a position of a victor. One of your dances you call the "Dance of the Unoffended Heart". What is that?
Ana Werner: I had this vision where God took me up, and I saw all these horses running, and they were really wild and beautiful, but then I looked, and I saw there's this one horse that was really struggling. And so as I got closer, I looked, and I saw it had a muzzle over its mouth, and on the muzzle was written the word offense. And then I heard the Lord's voice say, "Offense blocks My flow of My spirit". And I thought, that's the first time I'd ever heard that. And then He showed me that, and then I got to, It's like He showed me, and then I was tested with it because we had a car that was gifted to us when we came back from overseas. We didn't have a vehicle, and someone gave us this beautiful car, and it was our present from God. And we were like, "Thank You, Jesus," and then it was stolen. It was stolen right out from our driveway in the middle of the night, and I'll never forget that moment. We woke up, and we realized it had been stolen, and we were crying, "God, what are we going to do"? And then we grabbed hands in the living room, and I heard the Lord's voice say, "I'm testing your response". And I'll never forget. We grabbed hands, and we said, "We're going to choose to not be offended, no matter what happens, God". But this is what I mean by the unoffended heart is, when God takes, if anything gets taken away that we'll say, "We love You, Jesus, no matter what. My faith in You is not going to be shaken no matter what comes. It won't be wavered. It won't be moved because I trust that You are good Daddy, and You still will take care of me no matter what it looks like right now".
Sid Roth: We're also dealing with something called lies from the enemy.
Ana Werner: Yeah.
Sid Roth: It's ... This affects being offended. It affects us even at the cellular level. You have been able to look into someones body's cells. What do you see happening?
Ana Werner: Yes, I was praying for a woman one day, and she came and asked for prayer, and she had a lot of things going on. Actually it was a cough/respiratory thing, back pain, joint pain. You name it, you know, she had a lot going on. But what happened is as I was praying, I saw this image. I saw a blood cell, and written across the blood cell, I saw the word trauma written like that, and so I said to her, I stopped, and I said, "You know, I'm just going to ask you something. I feel like the Lord showed me something. I could be wrong, but just tell me," and I said, "Did you go through some kind of trauma as a child when you were really young"? And she said, "Yes, yes". And I said, "You know, actually, the Lord showed me that, but what I see is that when that trauma happened, a lie came in that somewhere along the way that you believe that you're not good enough. And I believe this sickness, all this stuff you're experiencing, is all attached to that lie". She started crying. We ended up walking her through repenting for coming into agreement with the lie that, "I'm not good enough," and as she broke that off, then she was physically, completely, healed of everything that she came in there with. So this thing about lies is so important. When we're in warfare, like, I do this all the time. I actually, every day I ask the Lord, practically, I say, "Jesus, is there any lie that I'm believing right now that's not of You".
Sid Roth: Because when you can get rid of that lie, you use a phrase, and you're going to love this phrase, Ana refuses to be a landing strip for the devil.
Ana Werner: When Jesus, He prayed for that man to be, you know, and all the demons came out of the man, and then the demons asked Jesus, like, "Can we go into those pigs"? And when I look at that scripture, I see that demonic activity, it looks for somewhere to land. And so I'm like, "I am not going to be a landing strip for the enemy. I'm going to keep myself clean. I'm going to repent of sin if I have any sin in my life, first and foremost," and then I asked the Lord, "Is there a lie I'm believing that's not of You"? And if Holy Spirit brings it up, I say, "I break my agreement with that lie in Jesus Name. Now, God, show me truth," because we've got to get truth set back. You know, you pull out the lie. You've got something to put back in. "So what's the truth, God"? And then he shows me, and I say now, "This is mine, and I claim it". And I declare it over myself.
Sid Roth: You know, one of the greatest and one of the most overlooked weapons is the "Dance of Joy". Are you ready for joy? Next. Okay. Now you're going to love this next dance, and remember when she uses the word dance, it's literally a strategy from victory. You know, many of my guests provoke me to such jealousy, like Ana. I said, "Ana, do you ever see body parts hanging in the air that God wants to put into some of the people in the congregation"? And she said, "Oh, yeah. I've seen that. You know, yeah, isn't that normal"? Tell me about it in Washington D.C., that body part that you saw.
Ana Werner: We were praying, and then suddenly I looked up and I saw these kidneys fall from the sky. And so I grabbed them. Now this sounds weird, but I grabbed them.
Sid Roth: You see why she provokes me to jealousy?
Ana Werner: And so I held them and I say, "Who here needs kidneys"? And then slowly but surely, this woman came forth and she said oh, that's me. And I said, "I've got them. Can I pray for you to be healed from whatever is going on"? And she said, "Yes, yes, yes"! So I prayed, and I said, "In Jesus' Name, I pray for the creative miracle of new kidneys". And I just released them, and then she was completely healed, and how I know she was healed is she said, "God, I want to test this". So she went to drink gallons of water, which she could never hold her urine before without pain, and she was completely healed. It was amazing.
Sid Roth: One of my favorite dances is the "Dance of Joy". Tell me about that.
Ana Werner: I think joy is one of the most overlooked weapons we have against the enemy, and, you know, there's that scripture in Psalm 23 that says, "I sit at the banquet table in the presence of my enemies". And I think, man, and then in Psalms, also, in 16 it says, "In Your presence is fullness of joy". So, if we're going to sit at the banquet table where there's a feast before us, in the middle of our enemies and going through warfare, we can actually get full of joy. And when we get filled of, because His presence, we get filled of His presence. We get filled of joy. It actually shifts the atmosphere. I've seen this personally come. I've seen it in action because I pray for people sometimes, and, Sid, I have to tell them, "I'm not laughing at your situation. I'm just going to warn you. When I get full of His presence, I giggle. I just start laughing". I said, "Please don't be offended, but," Just like I'm laughing now, "Please don't be offended, but I just feel His goodness, and I know that He's going to heal you, so I just get full of joy". And what happens is then they get healed, and I'm like, "Praise God"! So this thing about joy is so important, but see, we don't think about warfare like that. We don't think how we could sit up at His banquet table. People ask me how do you, you know, how do you do that? How do you sit up at His banquet table? And I say, "You know, I know this seems simple, but I take the scripture and I take it and put it into action". It says, Philippians 4 :8, it says, "Meditate or dwell on the good things, the pure things, the righteous things". You know, I take that, and I sit, and I go, "Okay I think about Jesus. Jesus, You're good. I love You, God because you're Sovereign. Father, you're," So what happens as I'm doing that, I'm no longer thinking about what I'm going through. The hard things, the testing stuff I'm going through, I just think about Him, and as I think about Him, suddenly things start to get lighter, right? And it's like then you can find yourself right up feasting in His presence. The banquet table is all about feasting in the presence of God.
Sid Roth: Give me an example of the person paralyzed in Africa.
Ana Werner: My husband and me, we actually were on our way back to the states, and we ended up in South Africa, and we were visiting a church. And there was a man that was paralyzed there. He had partial movement in just his neck, about like that, but everything else was paralyzed, and he was in a wheelchair. And so I waited until the end of this service. This church, by the way, didn't move like in signs and wonders and believe in miracles, so I waited until the end, and I said, "Excuse me. Could we pray for you? Would that be okay"? And he said, "Yes, please, I've been waiting for somebody"! So, I said, "Oh, praise God"! So we started praying, and we prayed a long time, just to encourage everybody who works in healing ministry that says, "Why isn't it the instant miracle"? You know, it wasn't like the miracle came right away, okay? So we prayed.
Sid Roth: And I have noticed that a lot of people will pray once, and if it doesn't happen, they just kind of walk away, but Ana is saying, "No, this belongs to you. I'm going to hang around until it happens". That's what I hear you saying.
Ana Werner: Yes, and I do. I really do hang with people as they, you know, when I minister until they get their breakthrough, you know? So we were praying for him, and we're praying and quoting scripture and everything, and then I start laughing. Oh, it hits me. And I said, "I'm so sorry! Look I'm not laughing because you're paralyzed. I'm sorry"! And I have to apologize and said, "I'm just so full of the presence of God! I feel so happy"! And I'm like, "He loves you"! And I'm laughing. What happened is the presence just went on him. Like I could see. Now, as a Seer I can see when there's impartation, and it just fell. And he started, and then he's like, "Oh"! And he starts laughing, and he's like, "Oh"! And I'm like, "Your neck just moved! Did you see that"? And he goes, "Ah, it did"! So then, Jesus, I heard Holy Spirit say, "Ana, sing over him". And I'm like, oh, no. Like, I'm not a professional singer, you know? But I said, "Okay, um, excuse me. I'm going to sing over you now". And he said, "Okay, what? I guess, bring it. Whatever you got, bring it"! You know, he was open. So then I just started singing over him, and he got completely healed. He was completely healed.
Ana Werner: While this story, And it happened to be his birthday. Now we didn't know that, and so he went, got running out of his wheelchair into the church foyer and said, "I've been healed! I've been healed! Miracles of God are real! Miracles of God are real! And it's my birthday"! It was amazing!
Sid Roth: When we return, I'm going to ask Ana to sing, Jesus, over you, and, if you can bear it, I will sing His Hebrew name, Yeshua, and this one new man, Jew and Gentile, one in Messiah anointing. I believe it's going to release supernatural joy and miracles, and maybe Ana will see a few body parts for you. Be right back.
Sid Roth: Again, I'm here with Ana Werner. I believe that if you will sing to the people that are watching in their homes, in the studio audience, if you will sing just the song you've sang for your husband when he was so critical you, thought he was dying, or the doctors said that, you just sang, Jesus. If you would sing that over people, I believe they'll be healed. And then I will sing in Hebrew the same thing that you sing, and then I believe you'll start functioning in words of knowledge.
Ana Werner: I'm excited you're going to sing with me!
Sid Roth: Well, I, you haven't heard me yet, but that's okay.
Ana Werner: Okay, stand. Do me a favor.
Sid Roth: I can't believe I did this, by the way.
Ana Werner: Me neither. Uh, do me a favor and stand to your feet, please. Stand on your feet, really. I want you to just, just be in the posture of receiving. All right. Thank You, Lord. Father, I just thank You for Your fire that's falling in this place, God. Father, we pray, and we thank You for the freedom that we have in You. By Your stripes, we've been healed. "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Thank you, Holy Spirit".
Sid Roth: "Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua. You're King, you're Lord, Yeshua".
Ana Werner: Wow, thank You, Jesus. Now somebody that is either here in the audience, or you're watching this now, I just get this word of knowledge for you right now. I hear the Lord saying that when I spoke that word earlier about, I shared that story of a lady that had felt like she wasn't good enough. I saw that word, somewhere through the media, that that's for you. What that is, is you're actually up against a performance spirit where you feel like you've got to perform for your papa, daddy's love, and you are chronically ill. There's chronic illness, stuff that's going on in your body, and nobody can touch it. No doctor understands it. I see, like, autoimmune problems. I see chronic illness, like, respiratory infection that never goes away. It just comes back all your life, and no matter what you do, you can't get rid of this thing. In Jesus Name, right now, I pray for your breakthrough and your healing. Father, I command that performance spirit to now go. You're going to feel something lift off of you. Even in this very room, you're going to feel it lift off of you right now. Performance spirit has been broken, and say this with me. If you would trust me, just repeat after me. "I break my agreement, with the lie, that I'm not good enough, because I'm a son or daughter, of the King of Kings". Now look at me. He loves you just as you are. You don't have to be perfect. You're free. You're absolutely free. You're free. You have the victory over this, and your body has now been healed in Jesus Name. Now I just get this word, Sid, about this thing. When you get your healing and your freedom, it can't come back. Now when it tries, you can stand up in victory and say, "It, no, I've gotten my healing in the Name of Jesus, so you can not come back. The door has been closed". God is raising us up like that so that when we think, ah, because often people get their healing, right? Their breakthrough, and then the enemy tries to come back at us, and then we get discouraged, and we move right back to where we were before. But hey, listen, that's when it's time. We've got to rise up. No, that cannot come back in Jesus Name.
