Sid Roth - I Saw 2 Demonic Generals No One Talks About
Sid Roth: Hello, Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world, where it's naturally supernatural. My guest, Steve Foss, heard a choir of angels singing for 40 minutes! It began a search for him in which he literally reached into the invisible world, and obtained supernatural wisdom, wisdom that's going to change your life forever. Steve, you came from a broken home: you started drugs at a young age.
Steve Foss: Uh 15-years old: and got heavier and heavier into drugs, using many drugs, and heavy heavy drinking, and literally my life was spiraling out of control. I was I was literally on my way to death and got close to death many times.
Sid Roth: So you were on the verge of a nervous breakdown...
Steve Foss: Yeah.
Sid Roth: And someone invites you to what you think is a dance club...
Steve Foss: Right.
Sid Roth: But it really wasn't. What was it?
Steve Foss: It was a Holy Ghost service. It was a revival service. All they told me is that they have a live band and they dance, show I show up in my dancing clothes and everything. And I get to this college university in this slanted lecture hall and they have a band, but there's no dance floor, and I thought, "Well where do they dance"? And then the music started playing, and they started dancing everywhere! And I was raised in Catholic church: I'd never seen anything like that before. And then they got to the slow songs, and the guy who brought me, he got down on his knees, and he began to lift his hands: he began to weep before the presence of God. And I'd not, I literally was freaked out, and I said, "Lord, get me outa here"!
Sid Roth: I was just going to say, why did you stay?
Steve Foss: Well actually they were smart. They stuck me in the middle, and they put big people on either end of the row so I couldn't get out! And so, then the preacher started preaching, and he started quoting scriptures, one word after another, one scripture after another, and it was hitting me in my spirit. He got to the end: he said, "If you want to give your life to Jesus, raise your hand". There's 300 students in the room, and about 4 raised their hand, but I stuck my hands under my legs: there was no way I was going to go forward. And he called them forward: and the first guy that went forward, he was what we call a "Nerd", you know, and he had uh the broken glasses, and pimples everywhere, and he just looked like, you know. And when he went down there, I could understand, my thinking was, "I understand why he wants God".
Sid Roth: He needed that.
Steve Foss: That's right: "He needed God".
Sid Roth: Right.
Steve Foss: And two other people went down there: they were "Normal" people. The fourth guy that went down was a uh one of the football players: good-looking guy, perfect body, dressed like he had money, so I thought, "He has money, he has talent, he's got the looks, he's got the women obviously. H-he's got everything: what does he need".
Sid Roth: So he's not faking anything.
Steve Foss: No! "What does he need God for? I mean the nerd, I understand. You know, who's going to love him. But what does this guy need God for"? And they went down forward, and the preacher had them all pray a prayer, giving their life to Jesus. He went and prayed for the nerd guy first, and he fell to the ground: and I had never seen anything like this. I literally stood up and said, "No way! The dude passed out"! He prayed for the next two people: they fell down. I don't understand what's going on. He goes to the football prayer: I'm thinking, "There's no way this guy's going to fall down". When he starts to pray for him, he doesn't fall down: he begins to cry, like a little baby.
Sid Roth: A football player?
Steve Foss: Yeah!
Sid Roth: A "Macho man"?
Steve Foss: That's right. And that's exactly what hit me: "Guys like this do not cry about God in front of 300 of their fellow students", and I thought, "Man, this must be real"! Soon as I did that, my heart began to race: my hands began to shake: a numbness started going up and down my arms and up and down my legs. People said, "What happened to you"? I said, "I got mugged by the Holy Ghost". And I literally felt a very still, small voice whispering, "Give your life to Jesus". And I heard another voice screaming in this side of my, saying, "No! Keep doing your drugs". For 40 minutes I wrestled, 40 minutes I fought, as they continued to pray for people. And then finally, I bowed my head and closed my eyes, and said, "God, if this is really you, if this is not phony or fake, if this is really you, have that preacher call me out of the audience". Sid, within 30 seconds, 300 students, that preacher looked right out to me: he looked me right in the eye, and he said, "Brother, the Lord wants you down here".
Sid Roth: Uh, you weren't in the front row, either!
Steve Foss: I was waaay up in the back!
Sid Roth: How could that happen?
Steve Foss: I didn't know! I didn't know about the gifts of the spirit. It was supernatural! And I went down there: I mean I didn't even ask the big people to move. I climbed over rows of chairs to get down there. He said, "Do you want to give your life to Jesus"?, and I started crying: I said, "I'm scared"! He calmed me down and he asked me again: I said, "Yes". I gave my life to Jesus. He laid his hands on me: he prayed for me. He said, "Jesus, fill him right now"! And when he said "Now", it was like a lightning bolt from heaven came down, hit me in my stomach: it exploded through my body. The next thing I know, I'm on the floor, sid: I can't get up. I'm physically pinned to the floor for 40 minutes.
Sid Roth: Steve, you're not exaggerating?
Steve Foss: No! I had done all kinds of drugs: I had done lsd, and why did you stay down for 40 minutes?
Steve Foss: I couldn't get up: I was physically held to the floor.
Sid Roth: Now could someone have yelled, "There's a fire in the house"? Could...
Steve Foss: I couldn't get up: I couldn't. It was like I was under a giant waterfall, pulsating, but it was pure love and power, pouring through my body. I heard what sounded like a choir of millions of angels, singing an indescribable song.
Sid Roth: How beautiful was it?
Steve Foss: It was, I don't know if you've ever been to a choir or an orchestra: they hit that one note that sends chills down your spine. Imagine a choir of millions hitting that perfect note, for 40 minutes non-stop. That doesn't even begin to get close to describe the beauty, the majesty, the glory of it. And I literally felt the bodily presence of Jesus come and hover over my body. When I sat up 40 minutes later, Sid, I was now crying tears of joy. I was instantaneously delivered from 5 years of drug addiction. Never had a withdrawal, and...
Sid Roth: No desire?
Steve Foss: No desire. Not only did he deliver me from the addiction, the desire was gone. I've never even wanted to touch a drug since that day.
Sid Roth: And then two days later, you receive a purpose for your life.
Steve Foss: I two days later, had another incredible encounter. And after I got up, I'm on my knees, two days in the Lord, on my knees, worshipping God in the service: and the Lord spoke to me, and he said, "I've called you to preach my gospel". And he literally showed me all my dreams before me, and I said, "Yes Lord, I will": and I saw those dreams go off. And right there, Sid, raised in a Catholic church knowing nothing about this, right there, uh God gloriously baptized me in the Holy Spirit, and I began to speak in a heavenly language, a prayer language! It just began to flow out of me!
Sid Roth: Supernatural wisdom, that Steve obtained from heaven: that once you get this wisdom, the power that is keeping you captive in various areas of your life, it'll be broken forever. Don't go away. We'll be right back after this word.
Sid Roth: Hello, Sid Roth here with Steve foss. And Steve, you were talking to a high school Bible study, but these were students that had no experience in the supernatural at all: uh and you had a couple of visions that I want you to tell me about. Take it from there.
Steve Foss: Uh, I was praying for this: I spoke two weeks in a row, and before the second week I was praying, because I really wanted God to show up in power. And in this, I had two visions. The first vision, I saw one of the young, I saw a young man, sitting in the crowd. I saw exactly where he was sitting, exactly how he was dressed, and I saw myself call him up in the vision, and began to speak over him and prophesy over him, that God had called him to be a preacher of the gospel. And then I prayed for him: the power of God hit him. Well Sid, when I went to the meeting the next day, that young man, who I'd never met before, was sitting exactly where I saw him, wearing exactly... D: dressed the same way?
Steve Foss: Dressed the same exact same way. So I called him up, and I said, "God gave me a word for you: that you are called to be a preacher": he began to cry. He said, "Last night I told my mother, for the very first time, 'i feel I'm supposed to be a preacher'".
Sid Roth: Well that astounded him, but it must have astounded you too!
Steve Foss: Well they were all, yeah! They were all doing, and everybody was amazed. And I'm sitting back: and so then I want to pray for him. And I'm standing near him, but I didn't touch him! And I sat there, and I called someone to help me out, and I turned to him and I said, "Lord", and this is a precious Baptist brother. Did you put your hands on him?
Steve Foss: I was 5 feet away from him!
Sid Roth: Huh!
Steve Foss: I just spoke the word, and power of God hit him, and he fell to the ground. And all 70 of those students, their eyes just turned: they went and jaws dropped: they couldn't believe what was happening. But it was the second vision that changed my life.
Sid Roth: And I have to tell you, I've read your book, "Satan's dirty little secret", and this is going to change your destiny. There are some areas of your life that you're in bondage, that you're going to be free. Some of you have never tasted this freedom before. Tell me about the vision.
Steve Foss: Well I was praying for these students, and I was going into spiritual warfare, binding the spirits you would expect to find on a high school campus: drugs, and...
Sid Roth: Sure.
Steve Foss: Violence, and these other rage. And as I was praying, I kept feeling like I was hitting something in the spirit, like it wasn't breaking. And all of a sudden, my eyes were opened. And I was standing like on a field across from the school campus, and I could see, coming up from either side of the campus, were these two giant tentacles, and they wrapped together at the top. Then connected to the tentacles were all these smaller spirits, and they had names on them: rage, and violence, and perversion, and all these different spirits. So I thought to myself, "A-ha, I see you"!, so I started to pray after them. And after I prayed, a-and I would go after them and bind them, they literally got Buffeted back like a leaf in the wind.
Sid Roth: So if you could get rid of them...
Steve Foss: Yes!
Sid Roth: Then you could have freedom on the campus!
Steve Foss: Absolutely! Because I knew that's what was holding the young people captive! And they would be blown back like a leaf in a mighty wind: but as soon as I stopped praying, they strengthened back up, because they each had two legs, tied into these tentacles. And I said, "Lord", I realized they were getting their strength from what they were connected to, I said, "Lord, what are those tentacles"?, and he said, "They are the two demon spirits that every spirit gets its strength from".
Sid Roth: Now I've never heard anyone say that before.
Steve Foss: And I hadn't either! And I said, "Well Lord, what are they"?, but because I didn't see any names on them. Sid, I continued to pray and pray, 30, 40, 50 minutes, I don't know how long, "God, show me! God, show me"!, when all of a sudden, and I'm having the vision the entire time, I can see beneath the surface. And I saw their roots, and I saw their names: "Insecurity", and "Inferiority". I didn't even really know what "Inferiority" meant, so I had to go in a dictionary and look it up. And "Inferiority" literally means "The feeling of being lower in position or stature or value". And then God spoke to me, and he said, "These are the same two demon spirits that attacked eve in the Garden of Eden", and I said, "Now Lord, I've read that story many times. I didn't see it in there". But God began to show me...
Sid Roth: But you're telling me, if we can get rid of insecurities and inferiority, all those other demons that are trying to hang on to people will have nothing to hang on to.
Steve Foss: They have nothing to hang onto, because their initial, the doorway they get in is through these two things: our insecurities, and inferiorities. You see, Adam and Eve had total strength against the enemy. The enemy came and attacked them through eve, deceived eve, on the tree, the serpent. The first thing he did was attack her security. He questioned the validity of truthfulness of God's word. See, everything eve knew to be true was based on the Word of God, that what God had said was true! Her whole security is based on that truth! When he said, "Hey, no no no: God's lying to you", in essence, she became, in feeling, insecure! Now she wasn't truly insecure: she only felt insecure. And then he hit her with the second of the dynamic duo of these two spirits: he hit her with inferiority. He said, "Eve, God knows when you eat of it you will be like God, knowing good and evil". But that was a lie, because in Genesis chapter 1 and chapter 2, "God said man" was already "Created in his image". What he was saying is "Eve, not only is God lying to you: you're not who you think you are. You are less valuable than you think you are. You are inferior". The moment she felt insecure, and she felt inferior, she had to grab for something to give her a sense of security and value: he offered her a fruit. Now, up until that point, she hadn't lost her value: she hadn't lost her security: but when she grabbed the substitute and ate of that fruit, then she lost her security with God, they were "Driven from the garden", and she lost her value. They were no longer "In the image of God". The Bible says when Adam and Eve had a child, it was after their own image, and no longer the image God.
Sid Roth: And they had to clothe themself. I've often wondered about that. What does that mean to you?
Steve Foss: Well they were exposed. All of a sudden, the glory, they were covered with the glory of God: they were in the image of God, covered with the glory of God: they lost that when they grabbed the substitute. And Sid, this is the same strategy that the enemy uses upon us all the time: to make us feel insecure, to make us feel inferior, so we grab for something to give our sense of self a sense of value.
Sid Roth: Isn't this what all advertising, what Hollywood operates under?
Steve Foss: Absolutely!
Sid Roth: They take advantage of the deception that has hit us!
Steve Foss: "You're not valuable enough", "Attractive enough", "Unless you wear these clothes", "Unless you wear this perfume". "You're not valuable enough", "You're not attractive enough", "You can't have security in life, unless you drive this car", "Unless you go in this kind of house".
Sid Roth: Wait, wait, wait till you find out what happens to young people, when they get set free of these 2 spirits that control everything else that- that gives them literally the power of the evil control that controls theirs lives. We'll be right back don't go away
Sid Roth: Hello, Sid Roth here with Steve foss, and I am so excited that God has given you this insight, because when God identified these two demonic spirits that give power, to every other problem that people have. Uh it's making such a difference! Uh now you work a lot with teens, and I want to find out. Oh, if I had only understood this as a teenager! But I understand it now, and I'm not going to give them any power.
Steve Foss: It's why, and there's a lot of parents, right now, wondering, "Why is my teen acting up so much"? Insecurity and inferiority. "Why did they join a gang"? Because they felt insecurity and inferior. So what does the gang give them? A sense of false security and a sense of value: "I am a crip", "I am a blood", "I'm a this", "I'm a that". "Why did they get a part of this extreme group"? "Gothic", or "Punk", or whatever, because they're trying to get a sense of value, of belonging. They're trying to shore-up an insecurity and inferiority that is rooted in the lack of the Revelation of who God has made them.
Sid Roth: But of course you don't have to be a teenager...
Steve Foss: No.
Sid Roth: To have insecurity and inferiority.
Steve Foss: Oh absolutely: it affects every part of life, you know. It's the root of why marriages fall apart. And the fighting back into her, the wife doesn't feel like the husband values her. What is she feeling? Insecure. She's feeling inferior. See, and when when we stand in a place that we are secure in our relationship with God, and we are secure and valuable because of who he has made us, we no longer need other people to provide that for us.
Sid Roth: You know, another thing that excites me so much is your work with young people.
Steve Foss: Yeah.
Sid Roth: I understand you have meetings in which you might teach for 5, 6, 7, 8 hours: how do you get teenagers to sit that long?
Steve Foss: When the Revelation of God is there, when the power and presence of God is there, the manifestations are so strong: young people crying out to God, seeking God. When they truly, we don't need to entertain them, Sid. We need to bring them the power and the presence of God: a real encounter with the real Jesus, not just words: because when they see God, this is what the Bible teaches, when they see God, they begin to see who God has called them to be, and that lifts them out of this bondage, so that they're not subject to the strategy of the enemy in insecurity and inferiority. But you know, one of the areas too, in this area of insecurity and inferiority, that we see manifested right today: it allows the enemy to set us up. The whole economic collapse that's coming: the whole one world government system that's coming: the entrance of why so many, we're going to surrender our freedoms, are going to be...
Sid Roth: Those two spirits...
Steve Foss: Those are those two spirits.
Sid Roth: Will be the antichrist system!
Steve Foss: That's right.
Sid Roth: It's, I mean I saw it when I read your book.
Steve Foss: We see it happening right now. Why are people willing to give up so many of their freedoms right now? Because they feel insecure about the economy: it may, they feel inferior. They feel like "I won't be able to have retirement", "I won't be able to take care of my kids", "I won't be able to do this", so they're beginning to grab for anything, and that's where the enemy's able to flood in, instead of understanding that God is our source, and God is our protector, and God is our provider. You know, God showed...
Sid Roth: But speaking about that whole one world government thing God has given you insight into the administration. For instance, the bush administration.
Steve Foss: Yeah.
Sid Roth: He gave you some supernatural words. Tell me about that.
Steve Foss: Well the Lord spoke to me in January of 2000, before bush was even the nominee. He said that George w. Bush was going to be the next president of the United States. He said it was going to be the hardest fought election in modern American history: and we all remember "The hanging chads".
Sid Roth: We'll never forget.
Steve Foss: Yeah.
Sid Roth: You know.
Steve Foss: And then he said, and he said during the bush administration, there would be a season of unprecedented wealth creation, which we all remember the housing boom and the stock market boom. He said at the end, the economy will collapse. And then he showed me about an incredible evil that will come in the government, in the government of the United States, following the bush administration: and that there would be an incredible assault against Christianity, and against our Christian freedoms, and an incredible release of evil that will come upon America. And we're already seeing that happening, right now!
Sid Roth: Now when you say "Evil", what do you mean?
Steve Foss: Well, you know there's evil is rooted in deception. One of the great deceptions is when we begin to "Call [that which is] Good evil", and "[that which is] Evil good": and we see that happening right now. The terminology is being changed: to stand up and a law that's being passed right now, or in the congress right now, is that if a preacher stands up and says a certain sin, homosexuality or pedophile is a sin, that's correct. But now the law that's being passed is going to say no, that's evil: that's evil to identify that as sin: it's a "Hate crime". It's trying to switch everything around: that if you stand up and preach righteousness, you're evil. Even in the church, Sid, we see this. If someone starts preaching, "Let's live for God and live holy", you're now accused of being "Religious". We're calling, we're in a day where good is being called evil, and evil is being called good. It's "Good" to be involved in perversion: it's "Good" to uh have no restraints: it's "Good" to not honor God: we're calling those things "Good"!
Sid Roth: The only answer is knowing the security that comes in knowing who you are in Jesus, and you get that point so, you pound it so home in your book. But you were speaking before young people, and there was a 4-angel vision you had.
Steve Foss: Oh!
Sid Roth: Tell me about that.
Steve Foss: It was an amazing vision: and I'm only going to talk about the first two. But the first angel that showed up: I had this vision, and then two weeks later was at a youth camp: and these 4 angels showed up! The first angel that showed up, he had a banner on him that said, "Purity". And God had spoken to me that he had come to bring holiness back to the church. He had a shield that was made of the most amazing silver, outlined with a gold that was so bright, it was like on fire, and as sword with the same silver and gold. He said, "The shield is come, to shield my people's minds from the vile thoughts of the enemy: and the sword has come to pierce their hearts with the deepest of conviction". Well when that angel came into the youth camp, spontaneously young people started screaming out to God, confessing their sins, "God, forgive me! God, God, I've sinned against you! God, I've done this". I mean some of the most horrible sins you could imagine, they started confessing them publicly! This went on that whole morning, and all evening services. Then the next morning while I was ministering, the next angel walked in, and he had a banner that said, "Power". And as he walked on the platform, the power of God started hitting these young people. And I saw in his hands like these giant balls of blue light white, the glory of God, and it was strange! He blew on them, and like the little specks would fly out and touch young people in the stomach. And as soon as it touched, they began to shake uncontrollably!
Sid Roth: Now was this group uh particularly a spirit-filled group that understood gifts?
Steve Foss: They came from a Pentecostal background, but they were not, most of them had never even been slain in the spirit or spoke in tongues!
Sid Roth: Hm.
Steve Foss: They'd never seen anything like this, nor had I talked about it. So well they weren't worked-up in some psychological, you know, uh mindset: this starts spontaneously happening. Within 15 minutes, 70% of this youth camp, adults and youth, were shaking uncontrollably under the power of God: it went on for hours and hours. And there was a large chunk of them that shook under the power God, Sid, for three days non-stop.
Sid Roth: You know, they will never forget that. Just out of curiosity, do you know if there are any long-term effects that this encounter with God has?
Steve Foss: So many of the ones that I talked to are in ministry today! They all talk about how that day changed and transformed their life. We have just started a brand-new church in Dallas: and I had someone come down and visit one of our first church services, that came down specifically because they were in that you the camp. And she came down, and started going into full-time children's ministry right now. She said, "That was the camp that transformed my life, when I had that encounter with the power and the presence of God". And that's what God wants to do. You know, and there's some parents right now that are struggling for their teen. Now my teen: my teen's battled insecurity, and grabbing onto all these other things. We're going to break that thing, that devil in the name of Jesus.
Sid Roth: Very quickly.
Steve Foss: Right now, in the name of Jesus, I bind the spirit of insecurity and inferiority off of your child's life, in Jesus' name. And God, give them a supernatural encounter with your presence that'll change their lives. Sid, this is what we're seeing God do all over the world.
Sid Roth: Do you remember the two voices that Steve heard? One voice saying go forward, the other voice saying don't: you have those two voices right now. Who are you going to choose? Choose God! God's for you! God will help you. Tell Jesus you're sorry for every bad thing you've ever done your whole life. Believe that that blood washes away your sins, and then raise your hands up, and say, "I make Jesus my Lord. Jesus is my Lord", out loud!
