Sid Roth - I Saw Demons Guarding THIS in the Second Heaven
Sid Roth: Hello, Sid Roth welcoming you to my world, where it's naturally supernatural. I love the rarified air of heaven. I mean take a deep breath. My guest, Steven Brooks, was in Israel, and what was it, 6 golden angels showed up?
Steven Brooks: They came into the meeting Sid, yes they did.
Sid Roth: These six angels, since they were golden, that reflects a little bit about their nature. Financial miracles started breaking out. But before we get to that, I love to interview Steven, because he understands how vast the invisible world is. You've had some experiences you don't talk a lot about, but you've had some experiences in the supernatural realm, in the invisible world, where you've literally gone to great men or women of God that are teachers and they've taught you. Explain.
Steven Brooks: You're right, Sid. The spirit realm is much like the pacific ocean. It has tremendous depth, much of it is unexplored, and we're going to venture further out into the spirit and make greater discoveries. But there are those times when the Spirit of God can catch a person up into the realm of the spirit, and by the grace of God there can even be a visitation from the Lord, there could be communication with the angelic realm, and sometimes there's even communication with redeemed saints. We see that in Hebrews chapter 12, where the writer of Hebrews told us that we have come to mount Zion. We're not going to mount Zion, he said "You've come to mount Zion to a company of innumerable angels, angels beyond number, and also to the spirits of just men made perfect".
Sid Roth: Tell me one experience you had where you were taught things or received something from someone in the spirit realm.
Steven Brooks: One time the Lord caught me up into the heavenly realm and I met William Seymour, and I was allowed to talk with him. It was William Seymour who gave me...
Sid Roth: For those who aren't familiar with William Seymour, he was a one-eyed black man that God picked to lead what has since been called the Pentecostal revival. So you actually met him?
Steven Brooks: Yes.
Sid Roth: Did he have one eye when you saw him?
Steven Brooks: No, his eye was completely healed. He was a big black brother. Big shoulders. At first I didn't know who he was. He was dressed very nice. He looked like a prince. He began to give me a charge. He said "You must pray for the young children, particularly the children that suffer from down's syndrome, mental retardation. The Lord will heal these children". He gave me some further instruction about praying for the sick, and to minister to the sick in faith, expecting God to heal those who are prayed for. We had been seeing miracles take place along this line.
Sid Roth: Tell me about one child you prayed for.
Steven Brooks: It's interesting, because many times we have parents fly into our meetings from out of state or from long distances, bringing children into the meetings with great need. I was in a meeting recently in southern California and somebody flew in from Colorado, bringing their child that was suffering from autism. It was amazing. The husband and wife had so many obstacles and difficulties to overcome. The enemy was really trying to keep them from getting into those meetings, but they finally made it. They got up there and I was able to pray for their child. Then an angel of the Lord came into the meeting, and myself and several other people saw this angel. Came into the meeting and blew a mist over that young child. Immediately we couldn't tell any difference, but I'm getting responses back from parents that they're seeing slow progress of mental alertness. Things the children used to not be able to do, those things are beginning to happen now.
Sid Roth: Just out of curiosity, why did you see William Seymour? Why did he tell you to pray for children? What's the reason behind this?
Steven Brooks: If you study about azusa street and that great move of the spirit that happened there in that area of Los Angeles, California right around the turn of the century, the early 1900s. A great move of God broke out, and there were many children involved in those meetings. A lot of people can identify certain ministers as being involved with those meetings and great miracles happening. But the children were even praying for people and miracles were taking place. The shekinah glory that dwelt in that old horse stable where they had the meetings was so thick that the children could actually play hide and seek in the glory. They could get down into it, and you couldn't see a person when you got into it.
Sid Roth: I look so forward to the day that little children are going to be walking up to people that are blind and praying for them and getting their sight. Or cancer, and the cancer is going. You have to have faith like a little child, so it comes easy for a little child.
Steven Brooks: That's right. William Seymour also prophesied right around 1910 that 100 years from that time America would be visited again with a great outpouring of God's spirit. I believe it's about to break. We're already moving in these things.
Sid Roth: That's why you wrote your new book, "Standing on the shoulders of giants", because he talks about the same presence for miracles that were for other supernatural phenomena that were on many old timers. It's coming back now. Don't go away. We're going to be discussing mantles and how to receive them. There literally are angels waiting to put these mantles on you. Be right back. We'll be right back to "It's supernatural"!
Sid Roth: Hello, Sid Roth here with Steven Brooks. You said this is God's season for the miraculous: the increase in the miraculous. This is the prophecy this William Seymour had that 100 years from that date there would be a new outpouring of God's glory. Your book talks about something called a mantle. What is a mantle?
Steven Brooks: Back in the days of the Old Testament, we see many great prophets. We see people like Elijah, one of the greatest prophets Israel ever knew. As he was about to leave the earth and go to his reward, we see that he transferred that mantle to another person whose name was Elisha. If you read the miracles recorded in the Bible that Elijah did, you can count them up and see that in his ministry eight miracles took place that are very remarkable miracles. But Elisha asked for a double portion. He wanted twice the anointing that was on that great man of God. If you read the miracles that took place in his ministry, you'll see that 15 happened. Sometimes people say "He didn't get the double", but after Elisha died, you even see that one time some Israeli men were burying someone that died. They had to hurry up and rush to burial because some moabite raiders came on the scene and they quickly lowered this man into a tomb where Elisha was buried. When the dead man touched the bones, he was raised to life. That was number 16. He got the double. We're going to see a great increase on the anointing as these mantles are transferred.
Sid Roth: Is there going to be a large number of people getting these mantles, or just the superstars?
Steven Brooks: No, it's going to sweep across the church. The superstar thing, there's going to be a much greater leveling of the field, because we don't want people to be on pedestals. And that's the thing, if you study the great revivals of history, you see children moving in the miracle working power of God. You see housewives moving in miracle power, the plumbers, you see people moving in the callings that God has for them, and so I believe these anointings, these end time mantles are going to come up upon those who have hungry hearts and just want to do the Lord's business.
Sid Roth: Now one of the things that I know you operate in is the gift of words of knowledge, and I operate in words of knowledge also. For instance, in the first segment, we just didn't have time for me to release this, I heard that peoples' necks are being healed. If you'll move your head, you'll see the pain is gone. As a matter of fact, there was someone with breathing problems at one of your meetings, you had a word of knowledge. Let's take a look at this.
Steven Brooks: The Lord's healing sinuses right now. Allergies, sinuses are leaving right now. He's completely cleaning out your nose. All the wrong bacteria is leaving. Interpreter: he had a tumor inside his sinus, and now it disappeared. He can breathe. When God opened his nose, he can now breathe through both nostrils correctly.
Steven Brooks: I saw the Lord cleaning out nostrils. Hallelujah. Interpreter: at that time, the obstruction I had disappeared.
Steven Brooks: Glory. The Lord totally dissolved it.
Sid Roth: Wow, the presence of God was so strong on that, when that person was being healed. But this whole idea of anointings or mantles or giftings, it intrigues me so much, and that's why I love this book that you've written, because it puts someone in a position to receive these mantles. But you had supernatural insight into mantles in a night vision. Tell me about that.
Steven Brooks: I had a situation where I'd been seeking the Lord for a mantle. I read the great stories in the Bible about Elijah and Elisha receiving that mantle. I read about Moses and Joshua, how that anointing was transferred. We see Paul having spiritual children like Timothy, and I said "Lord, you must have a mantle for me. I'm hungry. I want more". And I began to cry out to the Lord, and two years went by. One day I said "Lord, I've been seeking for a mantle for two years. Honestly, I'm discouraged. Have you not answered my prayer"? That evening I went to bed and told the Lord "Lord, I'm discouraged. I feel like you never answered that prayer". I laid down that night, but late into the evening the Lord came and took me up into the heavenly realm, the spiritual atmosphere up above us, about 6 miles straight up. I was able to look. The Lord placed me behind a rock outcropping in the spirit realm, and I was able to look down into a valley, and I saw an enemy camp. I saw demonic beings Marching around the camp protecting something. Over the top of this camp I saw two huge demonic creatures flying. They looked like bats with wings, patrolling the airwaves, and they were guarding something. The demonic beings had enormous spears with sharp razor pointed tips. I was so wanting to see what they were protecting down there. As I was looking at that, wondering what it was, suddenly over my left shoulder two huge white angels swept down right over my shoulder and swept down into the enemy camp. They circled around the camp with tremendous speed and stirred all the evil spirits into a frenzy. And like a lightning bolt, like a blue angel jet fighter plane, those two angels took off with tremendous speed, and the whole enemy camp took off and followed those two angels.
Sid Roth: It was almost like a decoy situation.
Steven Brooks: I heard the voice of the Lord say "Go quickly. Those are my two decoy angels". It cleared out the entire camp. I ran down that valley as fast as I could, and I ran up, to my surprise, to a stack of clothing. It was stacked up 5 feet high, about 8 feet long. It looked like a rectangular block. I saw thousands upon thousands of pieces of clothing, hats, gloves, scarves, boots. In puzzlement, I said "Lord, what is this"? And the Lord said "These are unclaimed mantles. Many of my saints who have walked with me in times past have come home with me. Many times nobody ever claimed their mantle. There's also situations where mantles cannot be transferred, because there's nobody qualified to receive them at that time or in that generation".
Sid Roth: So the mantles you saw, are they available for people today?
Steven Brooks: They're available for ministers...
Sid Roth: How about you? You got a mantle there.
Steven Brooks: I somehow knew that my mantle was in there, and I somehow knew where it was at, because in the spirit realm knowledge flows very very quickly. I stuck my right hand into the center of the pile. I stuck it so far in the clothing came up to my shoulder and I grabbed it and yanked it out of the pile. It was the mantle of the Lord for me. I held it up, and it was a blue sweatshirt. You have to understand, blue is my favorite color. It represents the prophetic ministry and realm. The Lord's called me to the ministry of a prophet. And also I've always loved wearing sweatshirts. When I'm not ministering but when I'm traveling, I always want to dress comfortable, so for me that was my favorite thing to wear. So I pulled it over my head, pushed my arms through the sleeves, and it was an absolute perfect fit. Then the voice of the Lord spoke to me and said the name of the minister who used to wear it. He said "He was one of my trusted prophets". He told me where he used to live.
Sid Roth: Where?
Steven Brooks: Then he told me where he lived in church history. He said he lived right off the coast of Scotland, and named a small island.
Sid Roth: You got a hold of a book about this person, and what did you find out about him?
Steven Brooks: The Lord told me this man lived 1400 years ago. I found a book as I began to research that had traveled down through the Catholic church about the life of this man's ministry. Two weeks later after I'd received that mantle, the same types of things began to happen to me that I read happened to that man on a regular basis. I began having angelic visitations, words of knowledge began to flow with such detail that sometimes peoples' jaws would drop because the Lord gave such an accurate word that it would just grab their heart, then it was just an open door to minister to them.
Sid Roth: What was this man's name?
Steven Brooks: Saint Columba.
Sid Roth: I've heard of saint Columba. How would you like to receive that type of miracle healing ministry? How would you like to have that type of mantle come upon you? Well Steven prays corporately, and when people read his book, they come right into position to receive these mantles. Don't go away. We'll be right back after this word. We'll be right back to "It's Supernatural"!
Sid Roth: Sid Roth here with Steven Brooks. Steven, I'll have a lot of mail if you don't tell me. When you were in Israel, 6 golden angels appeared, and then financial miracles broke out. Explain that.
Steven Brooks: I was ministering in a conference in Israel. I was one of the speakers, and on Saturday night, as I was ministering I knew the angels of the Lord had come into the meeting and stood behind me on the platform. I called some people to stand up there and get close to that anointing, because they carry the glory and the anointing of the Lord Jesus. I knew financial miracles were going to break loose on the people, so I began to pray for people along the lines of breakthroughs for peoples' finances. The very next morning, I had a person tell me he was one of the people I'd prayed for that he had a financial miracle take place overnight once the angels had been released. He told me it was in the six figures. He told me how much it was. He'd receive a tremendous blessing from the Lord.
Sid Roth: Did anyone else see these 6 golden angels?
Steven Brooks: People were watching it by live webcast around the world, and people even emailed in from China. One lady emailed in from China, saying "When brother Brooks began to minister, I saw 6 golden angels walk up on the platform and stand behind him".
Sid Roth: Now just out of curiosity, did you tell everyone you saw those 6 angels?
Steven Brooks: No, I just said "The glory of the Lord is here. The Lord is going to help peoples' finances".
Sid Roth: So there's no way she could've known that unless she saw it herself.
Steven Brooks: That's correct. She saw into the spirit and knew what was taking place.
Sid Roth: Now I'm very intrigued on these mantles you've been talking about, that this is God's moment, because it's probably the last big push before the Messiah returns. You've had corporate meetings where people have received anointings and mantles. Explain that.
Steven Brooks: I've been in meetings before where the mantles will begin to fall. The anointings will begin to come upon people as the Spirit of God releases that. One time I was in a meeting with about 70 ministers. It was just for ministers. But through the rafters mantles began to fall upon people, and people would reach up to try to grab and receive them. I've been in other meetings where people...
Sid Roth: You have to help me. What do you mean, the mantles fell down? Were they doing it by faith, or could they see it?
Steven Brooks: The Lord opened up the eyes of many to see into the spirit realm. And many times even without seeing into the spirit realm, people are conscious of a tangible weight that came upon them. Came over their shoulder. Felt like a cloth. In the Old Testament, a mantle was a cloth or an animal skin that they wore, but in the New Testament it's the anointing, but it can still have a weight. People have said "Something came over my shoulder". Many times even a heat going along. They feel a heat, a weightiness come upon them and receive an anointing from the Lord, a fresh new mantle.
Sid Roth: I believe that if you pray for those watching right now, many of them are going to receive the mantle. But they really need your book, "Standing on the shoulders of giants". There's something about studying the Word of God on a particular subject and then having it manifest.
Steven Brooks: Yes. It's time for the release of these mantles. These anointings are coming upon this great end-time harvest that we're facing. We need these anointings to do the works God has assigned us to do.
Sid Roth: Is this the reason God told you to write this book?
Steven Brooks: He did. It's to prepare the church, because it's going to be all hands on deck. We're all going to be needed.
Sid Roth: It's such a big harvest that the people we have now in place can't even handle it.
Steven Brooks: We're going to need every adult and child involved in this great move of the spirit.
Sid Roth: If you would pray now.
Steven Brooks: Heavenly Father, I thank you for those that are watching today. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you that you have an anointing, you have a mantle to fit the calling and the walk that you have assigned to this person watching right now. Father, in the name of Jesus, I speak release of the mantle of the anointing that God has held in store just for you. Now put up your hands and receive, and take by faith the anointing and the mantle from heaven that God is now bestowing upon your life, and walk in it and do the works God has called you to do. Hallelujah.
Sid Roth: Of course we're doing this fairly far in advance, but last night at dinner your wife was telling me about a word you received from God about 2 well known ministers will die, and what that'll mean. Explain that.
Steven Brooks: There's going to be passing of great saints, but we're fixing to see a new Dawn arise, a new era of the church come in for the great end-time harvest. When this takes place, we're going to see the greatest anointing ever released upon the church. Greater than acts chapter 4, and the Book of Acts and those tremendous miracles. Greater than azusa street, greater than the '50s healing revival. We're going to see an anointing greater than that because he has saved "The best wine for last". We're going to walk in the mantles of some of the greatest saints that ever walked on the planet. Not only ministers but musicians are going to receive mantles, businessmen are going to receive mantles, teachers are going to receive mantles. They're going to fall like never before.
Sid Roth: The healing gift that you have, you really got that from a mantle from somebody in Scotland. What year did they live?
Steven Brooks: They lived about 1400 years ago, right around that timeframe. This individual was a contemporary with saint patrick. There were many celtic saints at that time moving in apostolic power.
Sid Roth: What were some of the miracles you might have read about that he moved in?
Steven Brooks: Same type of thing: miraculous healings, miracles of healing. We've seen people that have been in horrendous car accidents instantly healed, all the pain leave their back. We've had people with no discs in their back receive new discs.
Sid Roth: Tell me about in San Francisco, that pastor.
Steven Brooks: Yes, a very godly pastor in San Francisco has one of the most well known churches in San Francisco. I was at a conference in his church, and after I ministered the word I called for healing, those that need to receive healing. He was first in line, perhaps because he was already on the front row. I said "What do you need"? He said "I've come tonight in excruciating pain. I have a severe case of hemorrhoids". He was in so much pain and having so much bleeding that he was actually wearing an adult protective diaper to the meeting. Earlier that day he'd gone to a city council meeting and stood up to say a few things and the seat was covered with blood he'd been sitting in. He was in tremendous pain. But I prayed for him. The anointing flowed right into him. He was instantly healed on the spot and was able to get up and go to the bathroom pain free for the first time in three days.
Sid Roth: I'll tell you what, you may say that's not a major miracle, but for that man it was a major miracle. The presence of God is so strong right now for the release of miracles. The Bible says "If two or more agree on touching any one thing, in the name of Jesus it will be done". Steven and I agree in Jesus' name that if you'll put your hand on the part of your body that you need a healing in, if your heart put your hand on your heart, God' will give you a new heart. In the name of Jesus we agree that you are every bit whole. Miracles, miracles, miracles throughout your entire body. In Yeshua's name I pray, amen. Is there one word of knowledge God's given you?
Steven Brooks: The Lord is touching those necks and backs. I want to confirm that right now. Many of you that are watching you're feeling the heat come down your back right down your neck.
Sid Roth: And that heat is going throughout your whole body.
