Caption transcript for Close Encounters with Yeshua: “Interview with Gary Bayer” (10/10)
- 00:01 David Hart, welcome to Zola Levitt Presents.
- 00:04 And I'm Kirsten Hart.
- 00:05 I've got to be honest, I'm a little sad.
- 00:08 This is the last program in our new series "Close Encounters with Yeshua".
- 00:12 But today is the most powerful encounter I have ever heard.
- 00:18 That's right.
- 00:19 You cannot miss today's program.
- 00:21 Please stay with us.
- 00:31 It was not long ago our first encounter
- 00:33 on the waters of the Galilee.
- 00:35 My hand is completely restored.
- 00:38 He said, Your faith has saved you.
- 00:41 I've heard Yeshua speak in our synagogue.
- 00:44 He talked about the Kingdom of God.
- 00:47 Then He showed us His wounds in His hands and His feet.
- 00:50 I believe He really is a King.
- 01:04 Shalom Havarim, welcome friends to our program.
- 01:06 I'm Myles Weiss.
- 01:07 And I'm Katharine Weiss.
- 01:09 And we have a very special program today.
- 01:11 It is "Close Encounters with Yeshua"
- 01:13 and we're talking about modern day miracles.
- 01:16 The Bible talks about being the same yesterday today and forever.
- 01:21 Just as he was able to remove our sins he's able to give us his healing.
- 01:26 Yeah, it's a controversial issue today about healing.
- 01:29 But we're looking towards the "Healer" primarily.
- 01:32 And this is a special, dear to our hearts, program
- 01:35 because of our dear friends Gary and Cindy Bayer in Israel.
- 01:38 These are lovers of Israel.
- 01:39 They reside there.
- 01:41 They have been there for many years.
- 01:42 And they actually bring people to Israel
- 01:45 to help them connect their creativity to the Land.
- 01:48 They have a "Writer's Gathering Jerusalem"
- 01:50 program where they actually bring in and
- 01:53 help writers and creative types
- 01:55 to interact with Israel so that
- 01:57 it influences the creative work that they're doing
- 01:59 whether it's novels or poetry or movie making, script writing.
- 02:03 And it's just an incredible creative atmosphere that's around them.
- 02:06 Well part of that story includes the fact that Gary got ill.
- 02:12 And what happened to him in this time
- 02:15 was so miraculous to see the growth of faith in
- 02:18 him and Cindy and the community around them,
- 02:21 how it touched our lives.
- 02:22 We know he's a dear friend of our producer Ken Berg.
- 02:25 Ken prays for him every day.
- 02:26 And we were able to stand with them during this really difficult time.
- 02:29 Right
- 02:30 It was really momentous to be with him.
- 02:32 Right, you know one of my favorite Scriptures
- 02:34 is Psalm 103,
- 02:43 So we're to press in for what God has for us.
- 02:47 Sadly to say, not always have I seen my
- 02:50 friends touched or healed like I'd like
- 02:52 but we still are called to ask, seek and knock.
- 02:55 And it's God's sovereignty that will open or close that door.
- 03:00 And I'm so grateful that he has opened that door of healing for Gary.
- 03:03 There's been a sustaining that goes beyond natural remission.
- 03:06 There's something supernatural that took place,
- 03:09 that is taking place in Gary's life.
- 03:11 And we know that eventually we all die
- 03:13 whether we go by rapture, we go by natural death,
- 03:16 we go from disease or accident.
- 03:17 We all have a short time here on this earth.
- 03:20 But it's something to see an interaction
- 03:22 between someone who you love and the God that they love.
- 03:25 And boy, did we see that with
- 03:26 Gary and Cindy the way pressed in, in prayer.
- 03:29 They pressed in to receive healing for this illness.
- 03:34 And it was very convicting on a certain level
- 03:37 because we hadn't seen such faith like that
- 03:39 since we traveled in the nations,
- 03:40 since we were in Africa and India and Russia and around the world.
- 03:43 And it was just a wonderful time to be with them and
- 03:46 to hear their story.
- 03:48 So we wanted to bring part of that story to you today because
- 03:50 we want you to be encouraged in your faith.
- 03:52 We want you to be encouraged in the things that you're reaching for.
- 03:55 So let's go to the beginning of my interview with Gary Bayer.
- 04:02 Gary, thank you for being with us today.
- 04:04 I would love you to tell our viewers
- 04:05 a little bit about the journey you've been on.
- 04:07 I know it's been a difficult season.
- 04:08 Many people have been praying for you,
- 04:10 including Katharine and myself.
- 04:12 Give us a little idea of the diagnosis and
- 04:14 the season that you've been in.
- 04:16 First, thanks for praying for me.
- 04:19 We underestimate the value of the prayers of the saints.
- 04:23 They really lift you.
- 04:25 Especially in dark times you feel that.
- 04:28 Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
- 04:32 And by the time that they found it, it created a tumor outside the prostate
- 04:37 and so for 3 months they said, "You were not a candidate for surgery."
- 04:43 "You were too far along."
- 04:44 So for 3 months they radiated me.
- 04:47 They fried me up all through the middle.
- 04:50 And actually, at the end of those 3 months things looked pretty good
- 04:54 although some of the lymph nodes had been fried out.
- 04:57 But within a couple of months it re-flared.
- 04:59 And it had re-flared into my lymphatic system and started going everywhere.
- 05:02 They found it up here.
- 05:04 And thus began a season of chemo-therapy ,
- 05:08 of serious chemo-therapy which quite frankly I didn't want to do.
- 05:13 I even told my wife, I said, "I just can't. It's like poison going in me."
- 05:20 And so we really were praying about it.
- 05:22 And I told my doctor, I said, "You know we believe in a God of miracles."
- 05:26 My doctor is a wonderful Aussie, Jewish, Israeli, Secular doctor.
- 05:33 And he was watching our journey.
- 05:35 And I said, "You know, we believe in a God of miracles."
- 05:38 "We'll get back to you about this."
- 05:40 By day 3 I really felt the LORD say, "I want you to take this step."
- 05:45 Which sort of surprised me cause I said,
- 05:46 "But you know this like dumping poison in me?"
- 05:49 And He said, "Will you let me choose how I want to heal you?"
- 05:54 WOW
- 05:54 And I thought "Well I liked that."
- 05:56 "At least I heard 'heal' in that sentence."
- 05:59 But I'm a visual guy and I told the LORD,
- 06:01 I said, "I need some visual image."
- 06:03 And He said, "I'll give you an image."
- 06:05 He said, "When you go into."
- 06:07 what we affectionately called the "chemo lounge"
- 06:09 because there are lots of lazy boy chairs.
- 06:11 About 40 people in there getting their drips.
- 06:14 And He said, "When they hook you up to that drip line,"
- 06:16 "that's My Blood coming through that line to you."
- 06:20 WOW.
- 06:21 And that just so flipped our way
- 06:22 of looking at it upside down.
- 06:25 And it actually made the chemo day the best day of the week.
- 06:30 I mean when people said, "Well how's it going?"
- 06:32 I said, "Well it's actually the joy day.
- 06:33 I know that sounds really strange
- 06:35 but we watched God just do amazing things during that time.
- 06:39 So what you first thought of as poison
- 06:41 became an avenue for life,
- 06:42 a resurrection life.
- 06:44 It really did, it really did.
- 06:47 And then there's this story you've told me
- 06:50 about a visitation.
- 06:52 Yeah.
- 06:53 And I approach this with sacred caution.
- 06:55 But I would like you to tell our viewers
- 06:57 what happened to you in the CT scan.
- 07:00 Well.ummm there came a time,
- 07:05 a point in this journey about now 4 months ago
- 07:09 And the cancer had metastasized.
- 07:13 It had jumped to my liver.
- 07:16 And I was in a lot of pain.
- 07:18 I started breathing with difficulty and a little disoriented.
- 07:23 My wife got me into the emergency room here
- 07:26 in Jerusalem at Shaare Zedek Hospital .
- 07:28 My wonderful doctor met me there.
- 07:31 And within a very short time they took pictures
- 07:35 and the next morning he came to my bedside
- 07:39 and he grabbed a hold of my hand and my wife's hand.
- 07:41 And he leaned in close and he said,
- 07:44 "You better gather your children."
- 07:48 And that kinda rocks you.
- 07:51 And he said, "The CG scan shows that 3/4ths of your liver,"
- 07:57 "75% is just riddled with cancer."
- 08:00 "One of the tumors is about the size of a golf ball."
- 08:03 "It's now shut your right kidney down."
- 08:06 "And your whole middle is full of black spots, full of cancer spots."
- 08:11 And he said, "We're gonna sort of do major chemo on you."
- 08:16 "Just full blast."
- 08:18 "And we'll do it for 3 days in a row,"
- 08:19 "then take 3 weeks off; another 3 days in a row,"
- 08:22 "another 3 weeks off, another 3 days in a row."
- 08:24 So he was blasting me as hard as he could.
- 08:27 And he was giving me his very best.
- 08:30 It was a surprise when he grabbed my hand and my wife's hand
- 08:35 and he leaned in real close and he said,
- 08:37 "Would you pray for us?"
- 08:39 And I'm thinking, "What a privilege to pray for my doctor!"
- 08:44 But the battle began
- 08:45 and it was a rough,
- 08:47 really a rough 3 months,
- 08:48 up and down and up and down.
- 08:50 And at the end of those 3 months
- 08:52 he said, "We'll give you 2 weeks of rest"
- 08:54 "and then we're going to do pictures again."
- 08:56 "Another CT-PET Scan this time."
- 08:58 Which is like a deep tissue scan
- 09:00 that they can see very clearly within you.
- 09:02 And so the day arrived for the scan.
- 09:05 And it was hitting 100 degrees in Jerusalem.
- 09:08 And I had a windbreaker on and we were sitting
- 09:11 in the waiting room getting ready to have the scan.
- 09:15 And I was so cold that my wife was like
- 09:19 wrapping herself around me to keep me warm.
- 09:22 And a little Russian Tech guy came out and he said,
- 09:25 "You know we're gonna put you in the isolation room"
- 09:29 "and you drink a little liquid and then we take pictures."
- 09:34 I said, "Okay."
- 09:35 And my wife said, "You know he's really cold. Can he have a blanket?"
- 09:38 The guy gets me a blanket, wraps me up
- 09:40 and in a little bit he says, "Okay go into the room."
- 09:42 And I kind of moved along like a little Indian tent moving into the room.
- 09:49 I sat in there.
- 09:50 They bring me this big jug of liquid.
- 09:52 It's a clear liquid.
- 09:53 And he says, "You drink every 10 minutes full glass."
- 09:57 So I'm sitting there and thankfully I had my phone and my wife had her phone.
- 10:02 And she's just been a wonderful champion to me in this journey,
- 10:05 along with the prayers of the saints.
- 10:07 And she started texting me saying,
- 10:09 "Remember all the words that the LORD"
- 10:10 "has given you that He's your Healer."
- 10:12 And she happened to be sitting in front of a picture.
- 10:16 The 23rd Psalm had become very special to us.
- 10:20 You know, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death"
- 10:23 "I will be with you."
- 10:25 And so she texted me all of a sudden a picture.
- 10:29 and it was right in front of her.
- 10:31 It was the 23rd of August that we were having this done.
- 10:38 And she said, "Look at this picture."
- 10:40 And it was right in front.
- 10:41 It was like a picture of the 23rd Psalm.
- 10:43 She said it was beautiful.
- 10:44 You know, green valleys, streams.
- 10:46 She said, "Remember. remember what the Lord has told you."
- 10:51 We're beginning to build the story here with Gary.
- 10:54 And his connection with his wife in this is so precious and profound.
- 10:58 I think about as you're watching this, try to
- 11:01 remember that these are very grounded people.
- 11:04 These are very practical, earthy, down to the point kind of people.
- 11:07 They're not wild or speculative about
- 11:11 Christianity, about their faith at all.
- 11:13 And so it becomes more profound as you see this connection,
- 11:16 this spiritual connection between them.
- 11:19 I love Gary's fight for his life.
- 11:23 And you hear God's heart reaching out to his wife Cindy
- 11:27 and her texting to remind him about Psalm 23.
- 11:32 Though we walk through the valley
- 11:33 of the shadow of death
- 11:35 we will fear no evil
- 11:36 because the Lord is with us.
- 11:38 No matter what we're facing he wants to be
- 11:40 with us, he wants to bring that provision.
- 11:42 It says that "healing is the children's bread."
- 11:46 So he wants to sustain us,
- 11:48 he wants to give us hope and faith
- 11:51 to see that which we can't see in the natural realm.
- 11:54 That's good.
- 11:55 And so we want this show to be an encouragement
- 11:57 for all of us to reach for more of God.
- 11:59 And you're going to see as we go on
- 12:01 how what comes in to view for Gary
- 12:03 is not only the healing he's reaching for but The Healer.
- 12:07 So, we'll be back after this with more interview with Gary Bayer.
- 12:13 Our resource this week...
- 12:15 The Series "Close Encounters with Yeshua" on DVD

- 12:41 Close Encounters with Yeshua.
- 12:48 Shalom friends!
- 12:49 Myles and I are so grateful to be able
- 12:51 to bring you timely messages that are
- 12:53 informative about what is happening in Israel.
- 12:56 Not only what's happening in the nation
- 12:58 but what's happening with the people of God,
- 13:00 the people of "The Book".
- 13:02 You know, now more ever
- 13:04 we need to invest in things that matter.
- 13:06 We need to invest in things that will last for eternity.
- 13:09 And we believe that messages like this
- 13:12 will go before us as we sow into Him.
- 13:14 So please stand with us
- 13:16 as we continue this journey of faith.
- 13:18 Thank you
- 13:21 If you're thinking about visiting the Holy Land
- 13:23 come on a Zola Tour!
- 13:25 Where the Scriptures come to life as you
- 13:27 get teaching from a Messianic perspective.
- 13:30 Our Spring Tour goes to Israel and Petra.
- 13:33 In the Fall you can add a cruise of Greece and Ephesus.
- 13:37 Come to Israel!
- 13:39 See the Jewish roots of your faith.
- 13:52 You know, Gary and Cindy have chosen to live in Israel
- 13:56 and they have wedded themselves to the Land and to the people.
- 13:59 They love my Jewish people.
- 14:01 I'm so grateful to them for that.
- 14:02 And Arab people.
- 14:03 And the Arab people as well.
- 14:05 And they are just lovers of people.
- 14:07 And what we're seeing in this story
- 14:09 is not just the reach for the healing
- 14:12 but the encounter that's growing where
- 14:14 Gary's faith for his own healing is part of it,
- 14:18 but his awareness of the presence of God is going to grow and grow.
- 14:24 So let's continue with our interview with Gary Bayer.
- 14:30 And so I started trying
- 14:31 to encourage myself,
- 14:32 encourage my spirit.
- 14:33 And then some Canadian friends that had been
- 14:35 praying for us since I first got the diagnosis,
- 14:37 found out that I was in isolation.
- 14:39 They were in Jerusalem,
- 14:40 they're texting me:
- 14:42 "Remember Jehoshaphat, and the mighty armies coming against them."
- 14:45 "And Jehoshaphat was told by the Lord,"
- 14:47 "This is not your battle, it's Mine."
- 14:49 "You just stand."
- 14:51 I was so weak I thought,
- 14:52 "Well I don't know if I can stand up"
- 14:53 "but I can sit!"
- 14:55 And so I was sitting there and then they texted and said,
- 14:58 "I just see the Host of Heaven around you."
- 15:00 So I'm looking around and then I hear over the intercom
- 15:03 the little Russian Tech guy, "You drink the juice."
- 15:05 I say, "I'm drinking the juice."
- 15:09 And then they texted me again, they said,
- 15:12 "I just see the Lord standing right to your right."
- 15:14 I look up and nothing but a gray wall, a gray ceiling and.
- 15:19 But I started thinking, "You know, You said You'd never leave me,"
- 15:22 "You'll never forsake me, so I know You're here."
- 15:25 And I said, "Do you have a Word for me?"
- 15:27 And I felt hearing the Lord say,
- 15:29 "Yes, you hold on to Me, don't hold on to medicine."
- 15:33 And when I heard that, the way I interpreted that in my mind
- 15:36 because this was a moment of truth.
- 15:39 These pictures were medically speaking,
- 15:41 these pictures were gonna show me whether I'm better or I'm not.
- 15:46 And when the Lord said, "You hold on to Me and not medicine."
- 15:48 The way I interpreted it was,
- 15:50 "Be prepared, what you're going to see is not good"
- 15:54 "but you hold on to Me."
- 15:55 And so then that little Tech guy says,
- 15:58 "You go to the toilet."
- 15:59 So I get up and go to the toilet.
- 16:01 I come back, I drink some more.
- 16:03 And then he says, "Go to the door."
- 16:05 So I make my way to the door in my little blanket,
- 16:08 the door opens and there's this big room
- 16:12 where they have the scanner in there.
- 16:13 And it's cold.
- 16:15 I mean you could cure meat in there.
- 16:18 And the tech guy says, "Take your clothes off."
- 16:22 I thought, "Geez, I'm freezing already."
- 16:25 So I stripped down.
- 16:26 He puts me on this little bed-like,
- 16:29 and the scanner's a big round.
- 16:31 It looks like a doughnut, big round thing with a hole,
- 16:34 and the bed moves in and out of the doughnut.
- 16:37 And he said, "Don't move. Put your arms up here"
- 16:41 "and I'll put stuff on your arm and make you warm."
- 16:43 And I thought,"Well, that'll be good I could use a little warmth."
- 16:47 And then he says, "You'll be in here 18 minutes."
- 16:50 I said, "Okay."
- 16:52 And he starts to leave the room and he says,
- 16:53 "Would you like the blanket?"
- 16:55 I said, "That'd be a real good idea."
- 16:57 So he puts the blanket over me and he says,
- 16:59 "Good Luck!" and he leaves the room.
- 17:02 Door closes and the big doughnut starts to spin around.
- 17:07 It starts spinning and I feel the bed start to move
- 17:10 and I'm thinking, "Okay Lord, I'm in Your hands."
- 17:16 "My times are in Your hands."
- 17:19 And You said, "Hold on to Me."
- 17:21 So into the doughnut I went
- 17:23 and out of the doughnut I came,
- 17:27 went back into the hole again and suddenly.
- 17:30 [Gary holds back tears]
- 17:34 To my right I see an Angel.
- 17:39 I've never seen an Angel before.
- 17:42 And I'm thinking.
- 17:44 I'm looking and I'm thinking.
- 17:47 You know, I've been on drugs for 2 years and
- 17:49 maybe I'm just hallucinating, you know?
- 17:52 But it doesn't go away.
- 17:54 And it's like this brilliant, brilliant white.
- 17:58 And I couldn't see the face very clearly
- 18:01 but just glowing white.
- 18:03 And then I sensed all of a sudden another Angel on my left.
- 18:11 I couldn't really see this one.
- 18:13 This one I could clearly see.
- 18:16 And I don't know if you've been a Boy Scout or something like that
- 18:19 and you learn what they call "a fireman's carry"
- 18:21 where they lock their arms underneath the victim
- 18:23 and they pick the victim up.
- 18:25 I felt they slid their arms under me and just kinda picked me up.
- 18:32 And then this one leaned over me
- 18:34 and he started blowing over my middle like
- 18:37 [Gary demonstrates].
- 18:39 And it's like you could see their breath almost, just moving over me.
- 18:44 And then, in their breath I started to see what looked like flakes,
- 18:50 was like snowflakes only they were gold.
- 18:53 These flakes were just like pure gold flakes
- 18:57 just starting to fly around over me.
- 18:59 And then they lifted me and they moved me forward
- 19:04 like I'm now looking at me as they're holding me.
- 19:09 And I could see these flakes just flurrying around me and
- 19:12 over me and through me
- 19:14 and then I remembered that picture.
- 19:16 Because I kept thinking,
- 19:17 "What are these golden flakes for?"
- 19:18 And at the same time I keep blinking
- 19:20 thinking, "Am I just wanting to see this?
- 19:22 Is it going to go away?
- 19:24 But it doesn't go away.
- 19:27 And I remembered the picture from before, like 9 weeks before
- 19:33 where I saw all of these like black spots in me.
- 19:36 And I thought, "Maybe these gold flakes are like hitting these spots"
- 19:40 "and like, you know, taking them out."
- 19:42 And so I tried to super-impose that picture over what I was seeing.
- 19:47 And I could see those gold flakes flying in,
- 19:49 around and through me by these black spots.
- 19:52 And then suddenly I looked up
- 19:56 and there..in vivid color. vivid color.
- 20:04 is the Lord.
- 20:06 And He's like a.
- 20:09 like there's a white mist around Him
- 20:11 and He's sitting but He's leaning towards me
- 20:15 and He exudes power and strength.
- 20:19 His hair is like dark
- 20:20 and His face is strong and like sunburn all almost.
- 20:24 And He's got a blue like robe on,
- 20:27 deep blue, trimmed in crimson.
- 20:29 And everything exudes strength and power.
- 20:33 And He leans toward me and He stretches out His arm.
- 20:36 And His arm is dark and strong.
- 20:39 His hand is strong.
- 20:41 His hand is like so strong
- 20:44 and just reaching straight toward my middle.
- 20:47 And I looked down to where He is pointing
- 20:50 and I couldn't see anything
- 20:51 accept like gold and light.
- 20:54 All I could see was gold and light.
- 20:57 And then, I looked up at the Lord...
- 21:00 and He's gone.
- 21:02 Just everything's gone.
- 21:05 No Angels, no Lord.
- 21:08 And the doughnut just starts slowing down
- 21:12 and I hear the little Russian tech guy go,
- 21:14 "It's finished, you finished."
- 21:18 And he pulls me out of the hole of this scanner and he says, "Get dressed."
- 21:27 I got dressed.
- 21:30 He unhooked me, I went out and I sat with my wife
- 21:34 and I said, "I think I've seen a vision."
- 21:39 "I think I've seen the Lord."
- 21:44 But it was so far out of my box, you know?
- 21:48 I've never seen anything like that.
- 21:52 So, uhh.
- 21:54 [Gary stops to cry]
- 22:01 Uhh, we went up to the doctor's office
- 22:04 and I couldn't share this with the doctor.
- 22:08 But I kept thinking.
- 22:09 And it seemed like it took the doctor forever to read my pictures
- 22:12 cause it goes up into the computer and he's looking.
- 22:15 And the little secretary said,
- 22:16 "He's studying your pictures."
- 22:18 And then I started remembering what the Lord said about,
- 22:22 "You hang on to me."
- 22:24 "Don't hang on to medicine."
- 22:28 And eventually the doctor came out
- 22:30 and he said, "Come in to my office."
- 22:33 We sit down.
- 22:34 He just got back from vacation.
- 22:35 He's sort a chatting and I'm thinking,
- 22:37 "Just tell me...Tell me what you see."
- 22:39 Cause I was preparing myself thinking you know,
- 22:41 "What am I going to tell my kids?
- 22:43 How am I gonna.?
- 22:45 And suddenly he leaned forward and he said,
- 22:47 "You know, I've been studying your pictures."
- 22:49 He said, "You know where you were 3 months ago?"
- 22:51 You were on the edge!"
- 22:53 I said, "Yeah, I know."
- 22:55 And he said, "75% of your liver was not working."
- 22:59 And he said, "Today..."
- 23:01 75% of your liver is working!"
- 23:06 "This is a dramatic improvement!"
- 23:09 He just kept saying "dramatic improvement".
- 23:14 And then he showed me on the screen, he says,
- 23:17 "You know the lump you had here?"
- 23:20 "It's shrunk by half."
- 23:22 "All of the cancer in your middle behind your belly has shrunk dramatically!"
- 23:27 [Gary pauses]
- 23:31 That's the encounter.
- 23:33 And here you are.
- 23:34 I don't think I've ever meant
- 23:36 it more deeply to say,
- 23:37 thank you for being with us.
- 23:39 It is very welcome.
- 23:41 Thanks for letting me share my story.
- 23:44 Thank you for letting me share a glimpse.
- 23:50 He's real.
- 23:52 He is sooooo real.
- 23:57 Thanks Myles, thank you.
- 23:59 Thank you.
- 24:03 Honestly, that was the most amazing
- 24:06 encounter with Yeshua I have ever heard in my life.
- 24:11 What Gary shared changed our lives.
- 24:14 And our view of what's to come.
- 24:18 The interview with Gary was filmed this past November.
- 24:23 I don't even know how to say this
- 24:25 Just a few weeks ago January 6, 2017,
- 24:29 Gary passed into Heaven.
- 24:32 He walked into the arms of that strong Yeshua.
- 24:36 I'm so thankful for songs that
- 24:38 help all of us deal with things like we just saw.
- 24:44 This song is a musical tribute to Gary's family
- 24:47 that I have the privilege of singing, right now for you.
