Sid Roth - THIS is What a Heaven Portal Looks Like
My guest operates under the same shaft of Heavenly light or portal that Jesus walked under. He says it's available to all believers. Interested?
Sid Roth: Jerame Nelson, I want you to explain, what is this shaft of light, this portal that Jesus walked under? Explain it.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, in Matthew 16, 17 through 19, Peter had just confessed that Jesus was the Messiah. And Jesus tells Peter, He says, "Upon this rock, I'm going to build My church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it, because I've given you the keys of the kingdom that whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, what you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven". So Sid, what that is talking about is, through intimacy with God and revelation that comes from Him, we have the ability to shut the doors of Heaven on darkness and to open up the portals, or the gateways for Heaven to invade earth.
Sid Roth: As best you can, tell me what a portal looks like, feels like.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, basically if you look at Matthew, Chapter 3, Verse 16 through 17, it's where Jesus is baptized by John in the river. It's the greatest example, because it says that as Jesus came up out of the waters of the Jordan, it says, "The Heavens were opened onto Him," and it says that "the Spirit of God descended upon Him in the form of a dove, rested and remained on His life". It says that God, the Father, began to speak His approval and His love over Jesus". And it was from that moment on that Jesus was activated, He began to move in miracles, He began to move in signs, wonders. He began to hear the Voice of God and have encounters in the Supernatural. So when you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the Heavens will open over your lives, and all of those different things will be activated.
Sid Roth: Now this portal of light you've seen at meetings, tell me about the meeting in Peru.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, you know, we were actually doing a large healing campaign with tens of thousands of people. I was ministering on the stage, and I got to the very end where we started releasing miracles. And all of a sudden, a shaft of light, people could see it. It came down, it overshadowed this little boy that was on the right hand side. And this little boy was born with Cerebral Palsy. And when that shaft of light hit him, he was instantly healed of all of the effects of Cerebral Palsy; he was able to walk and talk, and move normally. His mother, she freaked out, because even his features changed in his face, in his body. It was a crazy, creative miracle.
Sid Roth: Let's take a look at what this portal looks like.
Jerame Nelson: You just got set free from the evil spirit!
Sid Roth: Now, how would you like to walk under an open Heaven? If there was only a how-to book on how to walk under an open Heaven, a portal from Heaven, Jerame... that's your new book!
Jerame Nelson: That's right.
Sid Roth: Tell us about it.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, you know, I believe that it's God's will that everyone would walk under an open Heaven. That's why I wrote the book. And you know what? I believe that just like Jesus saw the Heavens open over His life, and the manifestation of the Kingdom was in His life, it'll be in yours, too.
Sid Roth: And you were given supernaturally certain keys. Tell us a few of them, how you even got them.
Jerame Nelson: So several years ago, I had an angelic visitation, and I was given a set of keys. And as I got those keys, one of them was a key that said, "Isiah 22:22" on it. And as I began to look at that in the Word, I discovered that through intimacy with Jesus, we could hear God's voice and we could see the Heavens open and the manifestation of His glory come to the earth. And what's interesting is that if you look at Revelation 3:7, the glorified Jesus "Has the key of David in His hands," so if we want to see keys that will open up and shut, then we need to go to Jesus. And out of that place of intimacy, when He speaks, we'll see the manifestation happen.
Sid Roth: And you made the point earlier, it's for everyone.
Jerame Nelson: It's for everyone.
Sid Roth: It's not just you.
Jerame Nelson: That's right.
Sid Roth: It's for you. It's for everyone. You have been in a move of a portal of God, a revival, for five years.
Jerame Nelson: Yes, sir. Over 150 nations have come out, I mean, people have visited from all over the United States, every state in America has been represented. And we've seen thousands of miracles. We've even seen in our healing campaign since that time, traveling around, over a half a million decisions for Christ. And every miracle you could think of has happened. It's been amazing.
Sid Roth: Actually, you go even further. He says, every one of us that is a believer in the Messiah has a right to live under an open Heaven.
Jerame Nelson: That's right. You know, John, Chapter 1, when Jesus encounters Nathanael, it's very interesting. Philip introduces Nathanael to Jesus, and when Jesus sees him, He says, "There is an Israelite without guile". And you know, He says, "I saw you when you were under the fig tree," to Nathanael. And Nathanael says, "Wow, you really are the Messiah". And Jesus says to Nathanael, "You believe I'm the Messiah just because I gave you one word of knowledge"? He said, "Just wait hereafter and you're going to see the Heavens open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man". Really, what I believe He was saying is, you think that's impressive, Nathanael, wait until I die on the cross and I raise again from the dead, and I make My home in your heart and in believers' hearts, and the angels of God ascend and descend upon every person.
Sid Roth: Jesus Himself prayed for people at your meeting? Jesus prayed at his meeting.
Jerame Nelson: You know, I remember being in a meeting, and oftentimes I'll move in words of knowledge. I'll get supernatural information for people. And I got a word of knowledge that there was a woman in the meeting that two years ago had been in a car accident, and hit her face on the windshield, and had brain damage, and as a result needed a miracle. And so I called it out. A woman came forward. Sure enough, she had been in the car accident two years before, brain damage, had metal rods in her back and her legs. And I went to go lay hands on her. And as soon as I went to go lay hands on her, all of a sudden, in an open vision, I saw Jesus appear right beside her. And He looked at me, and He said, "This one's mine". And He laid hands on her. And when He laid hands on her, God did a creative miracle in her brain. And even, it was in front of 1500 people. She actually ran for the first time in two years, and it was impossible for her to do, because of the metal rods that were in her body.
Sid Roth: Mm-hmm?
Jerame Nelson: But also her motor skill functions, there was paralysis, there was things going on because of the crash. But when Jesus laid hands on her, she was instantly healed of all of it.
Sid Roth: You know, I read the Bible, you read the Bible, you read the Bible. But many of the things that are happening to you, very strong, or, as Jesus said, "You'll do the same works I've done, and even greater". Even greater. I mean, some of the things, but are you just a special person? I know you said it's for everyone. But are you just a special person that walks in this amazing, open Heaven? Is it really for everyone?
Jerame Nelson: Well, I believe it's for everybody who's hungry. And if you're willing to push in and you're willing to press into His presence and allow God to form Him identity in you, you know, He's called us to be sons and daughters of God. He's called us to be disciples. And as we live that out, then He has no problem with putting His power on your life, putting His glory in your life, and allowing you to see the supernatural. In fact, we just saw something really crazy about five months ago. I was driving home from the fire and glory outpouring, and as I was going home, I drove through a normal stoplight, and a drunk driver ran the red light, going about 50 miles an hour. I actually looked over like this; I could see his headlights come at my door. And I just yelled, "Jesus"! And when I did, the car went right through my car, physically. And I looked in the rearview mirror, and it almost hit the guy behind me. But that guy swerved out of the way. And I was so shook. And after that, I said, "God, what was that"? And He said, "That was Me saving you because you have way too many souls to win in your calling". And I said, "Well, where's that at in the Bible"? And He said, "Jerame, remember when they took Jesus by the scruff of his neck to throw Him off the pinnacle of the cliff," and He said, "He just walked right through Him"? He said, "I caused that car to go through you because I still have a calling on your life". And I'm telling you, Sid, if you have a calling, and you are fulfilling that calling, God will protect the anointing of God on your life at all costs.
Sid Roth: Did you catch that? He did one thing that caused something in the invisible world to be activated to save his life. He only did one thing. Do you know what he did? He cried out the name, "Jesus"!
Jerame Nelson: That's right.
Sid Roth: Now Jerame will teach you the major key in his life that released God's presence, and is available to you. Be right back.
Sid Roth: You know, I've been to many Resurrection Sunday services, but guess what? When Jerame had a Resurrection Sunday, people that died came back to life. What happened?
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, you know, we were doing a Resurrection Sunday service at the revival, and God had spoke to me right before the service, and He said, "I want you, the week before, to declare that power is going to come to raise the dead, and that even if someone died, bring the dead". And I'll never forget, because I was really excited, and I was halfway terrified, because I thought, wow, what if someone brings a dead person? So long story short, we get to the service, and no one brought anybody that was dead. So then I was disappointed. And at the very end of the meeting, you know, I decided, well, you know what, we're going to pray resurrection over everything we can; finances, people's bodies, whatever. I said, "If you have a need, just write it down on a card and bring it up". And this lady came up with a card, and she actually had a letter. She said, "I want you to pray for my friend in Egypt". Well, she forgot to tell me an important fact, that she had died just that day before. So I said to her, I said, "Well, let's pray. I release resurrection power, and we command this dead situation to come to life". And what was amazing is, that in Egypt, this woman rose from the dead, right when we made the decree.
Sid Roth: Well, you had something else go on. You had a woman from Lithuania that came because she heard about the move of God. What happened with her?
Jerame Nelson: That's right. One of the things about revival, or even walking and living under an open Heaven is that it's tangible, it's impartible. I want to encourage the ones that are watching, you can catch the anointing. So this girl came from Lithuania, stayed in San Diego for about two months, living under that open Heaven. And then when she went home to Lithuania, she thought to herself, "Well, what did I get"? You know, "Did I get the anointing"? Like, Jerame, like, what's going on there? And then she woke up, and God said, "Go into the alley". She went into the alley, and there was a man that was dead. And she just walked up to him, didn't really know what to do, but just said, "In Jesus' Name, I command you to live"! And the man raised from the dead.
Sid Roth: And Jerame has been given certain keys from Heaven. And one key most of us know about, but we haven't experienced to the degree that it's available. And this is the catalyst for almost everything; spiritual hunger. Comment on that.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah. You know, I was in Seoul, Korea, ministering to around 2,000 hungry Koreans, and God gave me a dream. And in that dream, He told me that hunger is the currency of Heaven. And He said to me that when people pray, and when they push in, it creates a vacuum for Heaven to invade earth, it opens up the Heavens. And I'll never forget in the first night of those meetings with those Koreans, there was 2,000 of them. And when they introduced me to speak, they said, "We want to do something real quick before you speak," and every person pointed their hand towards me, and they all prayed for 10 minutes. And all of a sudden, the Heavens opened, Sid. I'm telling you, 13 deaf ears in a row opened in that meeting. A woman paralyzed on a mat in the back of the meeting that had been paralyzed since a child, all of the bones began to crack. And she jumped up, she ran to the front. And, I mean, it was one of the craziest outbreaks of miracles that I've seen to date. And it was all because of that key of hunger, their hunger opened it up when they began to pray. So I want to encourage those of you watching, your prayers open the Heavens. When you begin to enter, see, when you begin to push in, it causes Heaven to open, even more than maybe it was before. So we can increase an open Heaven by intercession and prayer and hunger.
Sid Roth: Another key that Jerame talks about is the key, "think big". Give me an example in Malawi.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, we were in Malawi, Africa about a year ago. And I was ministering in a large healing campaign. We had about 70,000 people that night. And you know, what's interesting is, when you go to Africa, there's a lot of witchcraft, there's witch doctors, there's sorcery, there's all this different stuff in the dark supernatural. And the Lord spoke to me that night, and He said, "Jerame, one of the greatest keys to breaking the powers of darkness and opening the Heavens over regions of darkness is the Blood of Jesus". And He said this, He said, "Jerame, the blood speaks a better word". And He said, "If you're willing to plead the Blood of Jesus over this meeting," He said, "I will destroy every curse of witchcraft. I will destroy sickness off of people's bodies, and then I'll release My fire". And so I did. I stood up, and I even told the witch doctors, I said, "Listen, I want every witch doctor that can hear the sound of my voice", there was actually about 30 or 40 of them with their sticks, and I said, "I want you to hear this. You know the power of blood sacrifice. But here's the deal. The power is in the purity of the sacrifice". And I said, "Jesus Christ is the perfect lamb with the purest sacrifice there is. Therefore, we can cancel out your power of the curses you've released through the sacrifices that you've released of animals, and we release miracle power". And I'm telling you, demons came out of people by the masses. And at the end, I said to everybody, I said, "Who here either saw or physically felt a demonic spirit leave them"? And I'm telling you, over 30,000 people waved their hands. And if that's not crazy enough, then the Lord said, "Now release the fire". And He said, "Everyone who gets saved gets the baptism of the Holy Ghost tonight". So we released the baptism of the fire of the Holy Ghost that night. And it was amazing, Sid. Over 30,000 waved in testifying to receiving a supernatural language, right after being delivered of the demonic.
Sid Roth: You believe everything in the Bible, but this is off the charts. Tell me about that meeting you went to in a stadium where you were really supernaturally transported.
Jerame Nelson: I was involved in a stadium event on GOD TV, and they told me, "Do not be late to the meeting". You know, "You have to be there at this time to open the meeting up, and to introduce the speakers". So I went to a restaurant. Well, here's the problem, Sid, is that this stadium could hold probably 5, 6,000 people, but about 10,000 people showed up. So I found myself on the way back to the stadium behind about two miles of traffic. And it was, like, 6:54, and so I told my driver, "Just drive over the median, take the first exit you can". So he drove over the median, took the first exit he can, and then all of a sudden, we were at the back of the stadium. And I thought, wow, we must have found a secret entrance. And I jumped out and threw my jacket on, ran in the door, grabbed the microphone, and it was, like, go time. You know, 7:00, went on stage, opened up the meeting for the worship. And as soon as I got done, I walked to the pastor who helped organize it, and I said, "Thank God I found the secret entrance in the back," you know, "we got through all the traffic". And he said to me, "There's no secret entrance". He opened the back doors, and it was nothing but woods. So we got supernaturally transported. And what God told me was this, He said, "Son," He said, "I'll move Heaven and earth to get you to the right place at the right time".
Sid Roth: There wasn't even a road there. It was just woods?
Jerame Nelson: Yep. We were supernaturally transported right to the meeting. And here's the deal: Jesus wants to activate you in the supernatural. He wants to activate you in the presence. And I want to talk to you about the greatest key, and that's the key of intimacy in His presence. You know, every single day I pray a prayer, before I read the Word of God, before I spend time with God. It's out of Ephesians, Chapter 1, 17 through 19, and here's what happened, is, Paul prayed for the church of Ephesus to receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God, the Father. And then it says that He prayed that the eyes of their heart would be enlightened, that they would know the hope of Jesus, and they would know their inheritance in Him. And so every single day when I pray, I pray that prayer. Lord, I ask you to open the eyes of my heart, that I would see Your Word the way You see it. I ask you to open the eyes of my spirit, that I would see people the way You see things. And when I do that, it's opened up the realm of hearing His voice with clarity.
Sid Roth: I want you to pray over everyone for spiritual hunger, and for the fire and the glory.
Jerame Nelson: Father, I just thank you for those that are watching right now. And Lord, I pray You'd fill their homes with Your presence, God. And Lord, we do, we release the fire and the glory of God. We ask God that You would activate people to see, to hear, to know You more, that Father, You'd open the Heavens over their lives and over their families. Lord, we thank you right now for those that are watching this program that You would release the fire and the glory of Your presence. And Father, I thank you, Lord, for a tangible anointing that opens the Heavens, God, over every single person's lives, that Lord, people begin to hear from Heaven, that people begin to see in the Spirit. That Lord, that anointing of revival that we're hearing at fire and glory would be imparted and activated now. Father, I thank You, Lord, right now. And I pray that you would release an insatiable hunger to Your people, God, that Lord, they would seek Your heart, they would seek Your face. And Lord, I pray right now that You'd release the anointing of fire and glory, that God, You'd open up the Heavens over people's lives. And Lord, right now we release an activation to encounter Your Love, and to walk intimately with You in the Spirit, in Jesus' Name.
Sid Roth: This word portal is really getting around, and it's really just an opening in which Heaven comes almost in a direct light to earth. And if you can get under that portal, you can be healed. But, Jerame, you're under that portal. For the past five years, you have had people come from all over the world to get under the portal in your church. How many have been there and how many would you say have made professions of faith in the last five years between that and your campaigns in other countries?
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, we've seen over a half a million decisions for Christ in the last couple of years, and we've had a couple of hundred thousand visitors come through San Diego to get under that portal.
Sid Roth: And I think it's amazing the miracles that are taking place. But what you're saying is, the portable... what you're saying is the portal is portable. In other words, it may be in your church, but it's also all over you. Is this what you're trying to accomplish with your brand-new book to let people know they can walk in that same portal that you walk in?
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, you know, I wrote that book because just like it says Matthew, Chapter three, when Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan, the Bible says He came up out of the waters and the Heavens, opened over his life. And as I began to study that portion of scriptures out, I began to realize there are many benefits to living under an open Heaven. And so, listen, when He was baptized and came up out of the water, the heavens opened and the Spirit of God descended upon Him in the form of a dove, rested and remained. But also the Father began to speak. And it was really from that point that all the miracles began to break out. All the signs and wonders of the healing anointing came on Jesus's life and He was able to cast out demons. And so I really believe that you too can do that. Those that are watching and that God wants to open the heavens over your life and He wants to release Resurrection Power. And that book is designed to unleash this in your life. It's designed to be a blueprint through the stories and the testimonies and the lessons that I've learned from the Holy Spirit to impart that and activate that in your life.
Sid Roth: And you know what I find fascinating, though? It's a brand-new book. You've been teaching this for a number of years now. Tell me some of the feedback you've gotten when you teach how to operate under that open Heaven. That portal coming down of light, glory coming down from Heaven.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah. You know, it's amazing, actually, because we've been hosting revival for almost six years now in San Diego. And this material that is in this book is a lot of the stuff that I teach everywhere that I go. And we've actually seen several major spinoffs where other regions got hit with revival. It happened in London, England. It happened in also Canada. It happened in Seattle, Washington. And when we went and visited those places, the heavens opened over them and they went into extended meetings and they went into a time of healing and miracles and the portal of God, the glory of God, opening up over their region.
Sid Roth: What about individuals? Do you find the people walk out of that when they've been under your teaching, walk out of it and start operating in an open Heaven, In those portals?
Jerame Nelson: we've got hundreds of hundreds of testimonies of people that have been activated in the supernatural, whether that's seeing in the Spirit, angelic visitations, the miracle realm, even transportations and translations. I mean, a lot of what is being done at the outpouring is being translated into people's lives. But I believe that it's impartable.
Sid Roth: And now I just warned Jerame because he did three exclusive CD audio teachings called, "Living under an Open Heaven", and they were having a party in the recording studio. I am paying them money! Now, you make them, let them work! Don't you let that glory from the open heaven just make them a wreck! But seriously, explain what you did on these three CDs.
Jerame Nelson: So, those three CDs, I really just explain what an open Heaven is, what a portal is. I explain how to position yourself to actually get under the portal and to sustain that portal in your life. In fact, here's the way it works, is repentance opens the heavens, but obedience causes the heavens to stay open. And so I talked about a lifestyle of purity and intimacy and how that will unleash the miracle realm, resurrection power that will unleash the dreams and the visions of God, all of these different things, and so, those are benefits of living under an open Heaven.
Sid Roth: Brand-new book, "Portals of Revelation: Releasing the Kingdom of God Through Signs Wonders and Miracles," and his brand-new and exclusive Three CD audio teaching series, "Living under an Open Heaven". And you pray an impartation prayer in these three CDs. Explain that.
Jerame Nelson: Yeah, each CD ends with an impartation of the topic that we're teaching on. And listen, it was so potent that those that were in the other room while filming me- Sid was joking around. But listen, they were getting hit by the power of God. I was getting hit by the power of God. I felt like the heavens opened right there in the studio as we were teaching. And I believe that impartation is on these CDs and you can get it.
Sid Roth: This is a must have resource for you to walk under and open Heaven. All of Heaven is rooting for you to walk under that open Heaven!
