Sid Roth - I Thought This Spirit Was from God, UNTIL This Happened
Sid Roth: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest, Robin Harfouche, was trained as an infant to be a leader in the new age religion. She didn’t even know what the word «New age» was. But at age of 5 you were able to tell what people were thinking. Did you think this was strange or did you think this was normal?
Robin Harfouche: Well I was told by my parents actually that, you know, I was an unusual child, and I knew from about 4-years old that I had been gifted with what my mom called «The veil». My great-grandmother was into witchcraft and so they prey down on the generations that there would be a child born with the veil, which is esp, extrasensory perception.
Sid Roth: Well you know what I find interesting, on one side of your family there were witches, but on the other side there were Pentecostal Christians. So it was almost like a tug of war…
Robin Harfouche: Yes.
Sid Roth: That was going on your life. I’ll bet you suffered the repercussion of that tug of war.
Robin Harfouche: I really had no idea, of course, that that was going on. That was an invisible war going on. I didn’t know about it. But I thought that what I had been given or born with was a special gift from God and that that was what my heart was filled with, was being able to express that, help people with that.
Sid Roth: Okay. So let’s fast forward. You’re 18 and you have an encounter with, I don’t know, I know it was a spirit, but I don’t know what you thought it was. But tell me about it.
Robin Harfouche: Well I was 18. I was going to a university to get a major in writing, and I was walking down the street in the middle of the day and I heard a whistle behind me, and I turned around and I saw probably a 9- to 13-foot tall, it looked like an angel. And it spoke to me and I could tell no one else could hear it. And it told me that it had been watching me since I was born and that I was chosen to be a mouthpiece or a prophet for a new religion called the new age. And so from then, you know, I was completely led by this spirit guide.
Sid Roth: And you were led to become a dancer, and you actually got on a top television show. Tell me what that was.
Robin Harfouche: Solid gold.
Sid Roth: You became a dancer but in a supernatural fashion. Someone that gets there has been training their whole life, but this spirit guide was kind of grooming you to be a top star. And then you’re at a friend’s house. Get this, she’s at a friend’s house and she gets a phone call and what did this man say to you?
Robin Harfouche: Well it was really odd. I was at my girlfriend’s house and I get this, she got the call actually, and the man asked for me. So I get on the phone and he said, «Your name was on the top of my phone sheet to call today». And it just had my name and it said «Dancer/actress». And he said, «Who are you and how did you get on my list, because nobody gets on my list». Because he was a major Grammy-award winner producer/director. And so I said, «Well I don’t know how you got my number. I don’t even know how you knew I was here. I don’t know how that number got there». And then he paused and he said, «I really think it’s God. We need to meet». And so I went to his office immediately.
Sid Roth: Okay. And he had this long meeting with you and then he hooks you up with an agent that was Marilyn’s Monroe’s agent, and dean Martin’s agent, and Michael Jackson. And, I mean, and you were ready to explode as a superstar. But he sees a spirit with you. What does he say?
Robin Harfouche: Well the manager that this director/producer hooked me up with, when I went into his office the director told me, you know, if he gives you five minutes, you know, that’s incredible because he’s like a power man, you know, in Hollywood. And I was in there three and half hours. And when we began to speak he said, «You have this spirit guide». And I said yes. And by this time the spirit guide had revealed itself to me as Marilyn Monroe.
Sid Roth: I bet it was that same spirit that was connected with the Marilyn Monroe.
Robin Harfouche: Well he was her manager.
Sid Roth: Right.
Robin Harfouche: So he was the vice-president of the largest theatrical agency in the world.
Sid Roth: But then he progresses with mentoring in the new age…
Robin Harfouche: Yes.
Sid Roth: Because he wants you to be a spokeswoman for this new religion.
Robin Harfouche: Yes.
Sid Roth: He sent you to a place called, like a place where you learn how to channel. That’s where you have a spirit come inside of you and the spirit speaks through you. But you saw something awful. What did you see?
Robin Harfouche: Well, you know, he also managed Shirley MacLaine and she was like kind of a mentor to me. And so they said, you need to go to mill valley. There will be 24 psychics there and there will be one woman who has, you know, channels, a spiritual teacher and you need to go there to be trained to channel. And this lady walked in. She looked completely normal, you know, like somebody who next door would make you brownies, you know, a really sweet looking lady. And when she began to speak, a deep guttural male voice came out. Now up until that point through everything I had studied, you know, edgar cayce and all the different clairvoyants and things like that, I had never encountered anything like that, and so to me, it freaked me out.
Sid Roth: I understand.
Robin Harfouche: It reminded of like «The exorcist» or something like that. And so I just got so frightened. I went back to Hollywood and I went in and told my manager, «Look, you know, I’m cool with the dancing, acting and singing, but I’m not gonna do this new age deal».
Sid Roth: And what did he say?
Robin Harfouche: He said, «Well you have to do it». He said, «You have no choice, you know, that’s what your destiny is. You know, you have to be able to teach this and so you have to learn to do it».
Sid Roth: Listen, I can imagine her being upset over seeing something take control over another woman to the point where the voice is, Robin would have lost who she was. She could not do it and she turned him down, and when she did these spirits tried to take her life. Be right back after this word. We’ll be right back to «It’s supernatural»!
Sid Roth: Hello. Sid Roth here with Robin Harfouche, and Robin has been groomed from a very young age to be a leader of the new age religion. Her manager, in fact, was the manager of Shirley MacLaine. So she goes to a special school in teaching on how to channel where a spirit guide comes into her. She sees a woman speaking with a man’s voice. She gets freaked out. She realizes she’s going to lose total control of whoever she is, and she doesn’t want this. She breaks from this manager. She goes to work as a waitress at Sonny bono’s restaurant and, if I understood right, you heard like a voice direct you to go by a door. Explain that.
Robin Harfouche: Yeah. Well I was in Sonny bono’s restaurant when it was in Hollywood. And I had gone to this table and there were some famous actors there and they knew who I was. They knew I was a dancer. And so they made some kind of remarks to me, and I was upset about it. So I went in the kitchen and I told this other sweet girl, I said, «You bring the drinks to the table 'cause I don’t want to do it». And I was leaning against the wall and I heard my spirit guide say, «Are you gonna let them get over on you, you know, you can’t let this happen. You have to be confrontive. You have to be aggressive». So I just ran from the kitchen to the bar area. And when I took the drink tray out of this girl’s hands, which kind of startled her, this 150-pound utility door stuck on its hinges on the bottom, 25-feet high, came down and hit me in the back of the skull. And that was the last thing I remember. And, I don’t know, six weeks later I woke up in cedar Sinai hospital in L.A.
Sid Roth: Okay. What was the prognosis for you?
Robin Harfouche: After months of therapy and rehab I was in a wheelchair. I was told by 23 doctors that I would never walk again, that I would live my life in a wheelchair. I mean, it was just death, you know.
Sid Roth: You’re a dancer. You’re ready to bust into Johnny Carson. You were gonna be on his show, I believe.
Robin Harfouche: Yeah.
Sid Roth: It’s all ready to happen for you, and now you’re confined to a wheelchair. You’ll never be able to function as a dancer or anything like that. So you’re really in despair and she decides to take her life, and she gets a phone call. Robin, it’s almost like a movie.
Robin Harfouche: I know. I know. But I was in my apartment and a lot of people know where the Hollywood sign is 'cause they show it all the time. My apartment was right down from that, and then three blocks straight down from my apartment there was Hollywood Presbyterian church. It’s a very large church. And I got this phone call from a friend of mine who was a Jewish guy who had gotten born-again at the Presbyterian church. But he was a bass player in a rock-n-roll band called the knack, and they had a hit, and I was dating the drummer at that time, even though, you know, I’m in a wheelchair. But I had been six months in the wheelchair. And so I had decided that day that I would take an overdose of drugs and just go to sleep because I didn’t believe, you know, I just thought life ended. And so he called me and he said, «Will you go to church with me tonight»? And it’s so weird, Sid, because, I’m like the last person you would ask to go to church.
Sid Roth: But not only, forget that. You were ready to commit suicide. What do you want to go to church for? Why did you go? Why, why, why?
Robin Harfouche: I don’t know. I really don’t know. I mean, I think it’s like what you said, that on one side of my family there were people that were praying for me that knew God and on the other side there were people that were praying for me that were on the dark side.
Sid Roth: Okay. Really supernaturally, it’s a long story. You’ll find out later more about that. She gets to this church and what happened?
Robin Harfouche: Well, you know, I got to the church. I left my wheelchair back at the apartment. It was like I was kind of in this supernatural bubble. And these people saw me. So they helped me and they literally, you know, carried me into the sanctuary. And when I got just to the doors of the sanctuary I felt like a power come all over my body. And then I got super hot. I had just started dripping wet. And then I started crying from somewhere, you know, like super deep that I didn’t even know existed, you know. And they sat me down in the meeting. And my friend, you know, he’s such a great guy, but he had never seen anybody touched or gone through that kind of a thing, he said, «Robin, are you in terrible pain? Do you want me to take you home»? And I couldn’t even speak, you know. And so when they called for the preacher, which I had never been in a church in my life. So the preacher said, «Do you want to know God and that Jesus is the way to God»? I knew that that was why I had been brought there because my whole life I had been looking for God. And I had studied everything trying to find him. But I had a Revelation in my heart that Jesus is God. And so they helped me up towards the front and the preacher that was there who was team-ministering along with Christian Harfouche, he just went like that, like waved at me, and he said, «Jesus is healing you». And I fell backwards onto the ground. And this woman came and wrapped her arms around me because I was crying and shaking, and I was dripping wet, and this fire kind of heat was all over me. I had never experienced anything like that. I had never seen anything like that. I wasn’t scared, but this woman grabbed me, put her arms around me and kind of rocked me gently back and forth, and she said, «It’s okay, baby. It’s just Jesus. Just let him do what he’s gonna do. You’re gonna be all right». She just stayed with that. And about 45 minutes later I got up off the ground. Now I had been in pain 24 hours a day and my body above my waist didn’t move. I was like an arthritic victim. Everything was stuck. Instantaneously, there was no pain in my body. You know, I was on a lot of medication that day. I was instantaneously straight, which the doctors said could have killed me, you know, that kind of going from being on all this medication to being on nothing. And then I knew that Jesus was God. I knew that I had been used for 28 years of my life. I knew that everything that I thought was God, thought would help people, thought would make you more positive about life and all that was just a counterfeit, you know, an illusion of the reality.
Sid Roth: You know what’s so wonderful? Someone that has experienced that side which they thought was God, they thought was good, and then found out they were deceived, and then had an encounter with God. I mean, 23 doctors said she’d never walk again. She was going to commit suicide. There was no hope. And all the pain was gone and she’s able to be carried in to the church and walk out on her own totally healed! She ends up marrying that preacher and moves in the supernatural power of God like few people I know. Don’t go away. We’ll be right back after this word. We’ll be right back to «It’s supernatural»!
Sid Roth: Hello. Sid Roth here with Robin Harfouche. Well Robin was groomed from an infant to be a leader of the new age. They called it a religion, the new age religion. Sort of like Shirley MacLaine was a spokeswoman, Robin was being groomed by the manager of Shirley MacLaine to be a spokeswoman for the new age. But when she said no, the spirits tried to kill her and she, on the worst day of her life, after she was confined to a wheelchair and the doctors said there was no hope for her, she went to this church. She had an experience with the Lord. Walked in a lifetime cripple, she would spend the rest of her life in that wheelchair, and walked out totally normal. Married the preacher, as she likes to say. And one day after she had been mentored for a while, and discipled and learned the difference between the counterfeit power and the real thing, I like the real McCoy, I like the real thing, she had a vision. Her husband comes into the room. And what did your husband Christian see?
Robin Harfouche: Well it was like a cloud. You know, it’s like really intense, like a cloud you’d see in the sky if you’re flying an airplane. You couldn’t see through it. He couldn’t see through it. And I was caught up in a vision.
Sid Roth: And he sat down and started just like a scribe writing down what you were reporting.
Robin Harfouche: Yes.
Sid Roth: Where were you taken?
Robin Harfouche: Well I was caught up to heaven and but somehow I was able to speak what I was saying even though I was there. I mean, it was heaven underneath my feet, heaven all around me, heaven in front of me.
Sid Roth: I mean, the experience you had is so amazing. It’s breathtaking, literally. But according to my notes, this was in, what year did this occur?
Robin Harfouche: I was healed in '85 and I was taken to heaven in '86.
Sid Roth: Okay. You saw something that’s ready to happen now. What did you see?
Robin Harfouche: Jesus took me to this incredibly gigantic, I would say worship center and I saw people dancing and praising the Lord. And then I saw balconies that went up as high as you could imagine and people praising the Lord. And then when I stood there Jesus said, «I’m tuning you in to the worship and prayer of heaven,» and he said, «In the last revival», the final move of God, because the Lord cares for people to know him. And the final move of God, he said, «There will be times where earth and heaven will come together so that worship and that prayer that you heard will meet the worship and prayer of earth. And when it comes together there will be people that are in cots that will just get up. There will be people who have amputated limbs that will grow out, that have been born blind, maybe without eyes and he’ll replace their eyes, because,» he said, «Satan, the enemy has been able to counterfeit all of my gifts» or all the things that he gives us that are supernatural, «Up until that move, which will be creative». And he said, «He [satan] cannot create. That’s the one thing he cannot do».
Sid Roth: When will this move start?
Robin Harfouche: I believe we’re in the beginnings of it.
Sid Roth: Listen, I’m seeing some of these happen in your ministry, for instance, the woman with the steel rod and the boy that was born deaf and mute, and the woman with the lump. Let’s take a look at that now.
Sid Roth: I’m just tingling with the Holy Spirit watching those. But Robin, in heaven, was instructed by Jesus how to get rid of the spirit of pain. Would you pray right now?
Robin Harfouche: Yes. We have the right, in the name of Jesus, which is above every other name, that’s what the Lord told me in heaven, I bind the spirit of pain right now off of your body and I command it to leave you and be gone in the name of Jesus, which is above every other name. Now what you need to do is you need to begin to move whatever direction you couldn’t move, go that way and you will find out right now that the Holy Spirit is right where you’re at. There’s no distance with the realm of the spirit and Jesus has already healed you. And you need to let us know. You need to speak it out of your mouth.
