- 00:01 ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ Joshua Colson: Hey, everybody.
- 00:22 I'm Joshua. Caleb Colson: And I'm Caleb.
- 00:23 Joshua: And we are legitimately brothers.
- 00:24 Caleb: Yes, we are.
- 00:26 And we're going to speak to another brother in the faith
- 00:28 today, Mel Bond from Mel Bond Ministries.
- 00:31 He's a longtime friend of ours.
- 00:32 This man has been given an amazing call from God.
- 00:35 He's a Native American believer with possible Jewish roots.
- 00:39 And the Lord has given him this understanding of sharing his
- 00:43 love through supernatural signs, healings, and wonders.
- 00:47 Joshua: And we understand that everybody gets all "Agh" when
- 00:49 you're gonna talk about healing and signs and wonders because
- 00:52 there's been a lot of fraudulent activity in this respect.
- 00:55 But that doesn't mean that God is not able and still performs
- 00:59 these things.
- 01:00 We've both seen it in our lives, we've traveled the world for 20
- 01:02 years, seen it in third world countries countless times.
- 01:05 Mel Bond is a student of the Word.
- 01:07 He's nearly memorized the entire New Testament and he refuses to
- 01:10 preach anything unless it's verified in the Word at least
- 01:12 three times.
- 01:14 So he says that the power of unlocking supernatural
- 01:17 manifestations is through God's love.
- 01:20 Let's check out what he has to say.
- 01:23 Mel Bond: And what's wrong with his son?
- 01:24 male: [speaking foreign language]
- 01:29 male: He cannot speak. Mel: He cannot speak?
- 01:32 male: He cannot hear also.
- 01:34 Mel: In Jesus's name--
- 01:35 male: [speaking foreign language]
- 01:37 Mel: --I take authority--
- 01:39 male: [speaking foreign language]
- 01:41 Mel: --over deafness.
- 01:42 male: [speaking foreign language]
- 01:44 Mel: You leave this boy now, in Jesus's name.
- 01:47 male: [speaking foreign language]
- 01:50 I take authority over you.
- 01:52 male: [speaking foreign language]
- 01:54 I command you to leave...
- 02:00 Hallelujah.
- 02:01 male: Hallelujah.
- 02:12 Mel: I guess I really started in the ministry, 1968, teaching
- 02:16 Sunday School classes with little children, and progressed.
- 02:20 By 1972 that, you know, Donna and I had gone to Central Bible
- 02:24 College and started pastoring a church.
- 02:28 We've been pastoring and then predominantly, I guess being--
- 02:32 my dad was born on the Indian reservation.
- 02:35 And so I was raised real poor.
- 02:37 I had a heart for underprivileged people.
- 02:39 So I've spent most of my ministry life going to third
- 02:43 world countries doing crusades.
- 02:45 So I've been about 35 different third world countries.
- 02:48 Some of them I've been to 10 or 15 times.
- 02:51 And so now, we've been pastoring pretty focused strongly with
- 02:59 pastoring for maybe the last 10, 12 years.
- 03:03 And now we're going back to crusades.
- 03:06 Joshua: Going back to where it all began.
- 03:08 Mel: Yeah, because I believe with all of my heart, we're on
- 03:12 the verge of the greatest move of God that has ever hit
- 03:15 planet Earth.
- 03:16 And I believe God wants me to be involved in that.
- 03:20 Caleb: That--that's a big thing to believe.
- 03:22 I know we believe it as well and we're anticipating it and some
- 03:25 people might say that's not scriptural.
- 03:27 I believe it's scriptural.
- 03:29 Where--why do you believe this?
- 03:30 Mel: Because it's in the Bible.
- 03:32 Caleb: That's right, it is in the Bible.
- 03:33 Joshua: Look how simple that is.
- 03:35 Easy, in the Bible.
- 03:36 Mel: Hebrews chapter 2, verse 3 and 4, the Bible says: "How
- 03:40 shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, God bearing
- 03:43 witness both with signs and wonders, and gifts of the
- 03:46 Holy Ghost."
- 03:47 That word "escape" in the Greek, it's--most full gospel
- 03:53 theologians use that word, the Greek word, and they
- 03:57 coined "Rapture."
- 03:58 And in the Greek, it says this for escape: to vanish, to be
- 04:02 taken up into the clouds, Rapture.
- 04:05 I have put my life in the Word of God.
- 04:11 And so I see from a scriptural standpoint that for 2000 years,
- 04:18 the body of Christ has been waiting on God to produce
- 04:21 the Rapture.
- 04:22 And for 2000 years, God's waiting on us.
- 04:25 He's waiting on us.
- 04:26 Caleb: This gospel of the kingdom will be preached as a
- 04:28 witness to all nations and then the end will come.
- 04:31 And we haven't done that yet, so he hasn't come yet.
- 04:33 Mel: So there's not gonna be an escape if there's not the
- 04:37 ministry of signs and wonders.
- 04:39 And in the Greek for signs, the word "signs" in that passage, as
- 04:43 well as all the passages in the Bible, in reference to the last
- 04:48 days signs and wonders, that it says, "Supernatural miracles in
- 04:53 the senses realm, proving that Jesus Christ is Lord."
- 04:56 And then I like the wonders because I'm Native American.
- 04:59 And we are very spiritually minded, big thinkers,
- 05:04 big imaginations.
- 05:05 Caleb: So are Jews.
- 05:07 Mel: Yeah, Jews and Native Americans are probably Jewish
- 05:11 also, as we talked about.
- 05:13 But I wanna finish that wonders, God bearing witness, signs
- 05:17 and wonders.
- 05:18 Wonders in the Greek, I love this.
- 05:20 It says, "Supernatural miracles in the imagination realm proving
- 05:23 that Jesus Christ is Lord."
- 05:25 Caleb: Right, and you told me some of that.
- 05:27 You've talked with different members of tribes and they have
- 05:30 done studies to show that the origination of Native Americans,
- 05:34 even their set-ups of family groups, clans, tribes, and
- 05:36 everything, was from the original Hebrew roots.
- 05:39 And that y'all came, y'all migrated over after the
- 05:44 dispersion and everything.
- 05:46 And so that's, yeah, everybody goes back to Noah's sons.
- 05:50 But there's something to that, you know, that's inherently that
- 05:54 y'all are looking for that manifestation of the power
- 05:57 of God.
- 05:58 And Yeshua said--Jesus said with that Great Commission
- 06:02 before he went up, he said, "These signs will follow those
- 06:05 who believe: that in My name you're gonna cast out devils,
- 06:09 you're gonna heal the sick, you will speak with new tongues.
- 06:11 You know, you will take up serpents and drink deadly poison
- 06:14 and not be harmed."
- 06:15 And how come we haven't seen that in a while?
- 06:18 It's almost been we've seen pockets of revivals here
- 06:22 and there.
- 06:23 You know, the Jesus Movement was kind of worldwide.
- 06:26 But what's been going on the past few decades?
- 06:29 Mel: I really believe with all of my heart that God's waiting
- 06:35 on his people to get rooted and grounded in his
- 06:42 unconditional love.
- 06:43 It was in October of 1984 and I went to bed at night.
- 06:49 As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was in heaven, I seen
- 06:52 Jesus and to make a long story short, I'm gonna get right to
- 06:56 the point.
- 06:57 Caleb: I wanna hear more about Jesus.
- 06:58 Mel: But he looked at me and he told me, he says, "The greatest
- 07:01 move of God that has ever hit planet Earth is gonna happen and
- 07:05 the foundation will be my unconditional love."
- 07:09 And so, people really do not know about God's
- 07:14 unconditional love.
- 07:16 And that, to me, that's the foundation that has to
- 07:19 take place.
- 07:20 Okay, Ephesians 5:27, the Bible says: "He's coming again for a
- 07:26 glorious church," right?
- 07:28 In the Greek, that word "glorious," it's doxa, and it
- 07:32 says: "the reputation of God."
- 07:35 So he's not coming again until there's a people and it's gonna
- 07:39 have to be a good-sized group of people that has the reputation
- 07:43 of God.
- 07:44 I mean, in holiness and in God's power.
- 07:48 I mean, doing the works of Jesus and greater, like Jesus said in
- 07:51 John 14, verse 12 through 14.
- 07:53 He says we're to do the works of Jesus and then greater.
- 07:58 And I like what Dr. P.C. Nelson said.
- 08:00 He was the number one Greek scholar in the world in,
- 08:02 like, 1940?
- 08:05 And he said that verse, John chapter 14, verse 12 through 14,
- 08:08 Jesus said this twice.
- 08:10 Anytime somebody says something twice, it's pretty important.
- 08:14 And he said, "If you ask anything in My name, I will
- 08:16 do it."
- 08:18 And as we all know that our Bibles today, Jesus did not
- 08:21 speak Elizabethan English, you know.
- 08:24 Caleb: Thou saith much.
- 08:25 Mel: Yes, yes, so Dr. P.C. Nelson says, and I've been to
- 08:28 35 different third world countries and sometimes
- 08:33 you're speaking and I'll say maybe just a couple sentences
- 08:36 and they speak a whole paragraph.
- 08:39 And the reason is most languages, we don't have words
- 08:43 that can have a single word that can exchange and mean the
- 08:48 same thing.
- 08:49 And so sometimes you have to use a lot of words to explain.
- 08:53 And when they translate it into our Bibles, they tried to find
- 08:56 words that would be an equal exchange.
- 08:59 But he said, Dr. P.C. Nelson said, they didn't do justice.
- 09:03 He said the strongest English assertion we've got is that
- 09:08 "I will do it."
- 09:09 But he says in the Greek, he says, this is what it
- 09:12 really says.
- 09:14 Jesus said, "If you ask anything in my name, if it doesn't exist,
- 09:17 I'll make it for you."
- 09:19 And I've seen that, you know.
- 09:21 One of the best times I had 12 different ministries from the
- 09:24 United States go with me to Nicaragua.
- 09:27 And we were doing signs and wonders, miracle services,
- 09:31 praying for the sick and so forth.
- 09:33 And so I--we had a big platform in the middle of Town Square,
- 09:36 there's maybe 4000 people there.
- 09:39 And so I bring people on the platform because the Bible says,
- 09:44 1 Corinthians 2 says: "I don't come with excellency of speech,
- 09:47 but with demonstration and power," and that's what's
- 09:50 needed today.
- 09:51 We've got more -isms and schisms than ever before.
- 09:54 But we need demonstration and power because a picture tells a
- 09:59 thousand words.
- 10:01 And so, I bring the people up on the platform and demonstrate
- 10:04 the miracles.
- 10:05 I brought up the blinded people.
- 10:06 There was five or six people totally blind, they received
- 10:08 their sight.
- 10:10 Then a little lady came up, brought up her little daughter
- 10:13 on the platform and little daughter about 7 years of age
- 10:16 and she was born with no eyeballs.
- 10:18 She just had white glistening substance in the sockets.
- 10:24 No, no--nothing that resembled an eyeball.
- 10:26 So we prayed for her and there was, like, two little--I didn't
- 10:30 see it because I had my eyes closed.
- 10:33 If I had to do over again, I'd keep my eyes open.
- 10:36 But there was pastors that validated that they seen this.
- 10:40 They said there was two white tornadoes as I prayed over
- 10:43 each eye.
- 10:44 And when the tornadoes were gone, when I stopped praying,
- 10:47 she had two beautiful brown eyes and Jesus meant what he said.
- 10:51 Caleb: That's a restorative miracle.
- 10:52 Mel: If it doesn't exist, he says, "I will make it for you."
- 10:55 That's the God that we serve.
- 10:56 Caleb: And he told us to speak these things into existence.
- 10:59 He made the all--the whole world by speaking it, "Let it
- 11:02 be," and he made it.
- 11:03 And we have that power living inside of us.
- 11:05 Joshua: Well, it's incredible.
- 11:06 And I wanna go back to something you said earlier because I know
- 11:08 people are asking at home.
- 11:10 Okay, if this exists, how come we're not seeing?
- 11:12 Why is this not in my church?
- 11:14 Now, Caleb and I are very blessed and we've talked about
- 11:15 this before.
- 11:17 We were raised in ministries and in services where we saw these
- 11:20 things firsthand.
- 11:21 So we never actually had to have the faith aspect of it because
- 11:24 it was happening right in front of us.
- 11:25 And we just believed because that's what we saw.
- 11:28 But you said a key word, I think earlier, you said holiness.
- 11:31 And I believe that that's one of the ingredients that
- 11:34 we're missing.
- 11:35 We have a lot of--but talk about holiness and what you
- 11:37 think that that plays a factor in for seeing the moves of God.
- 11:40 Mel: Well, I think holiness because the Bible says in Romans
- 11:45 1, it says that God ordained Jesus with the miracle-working
- 11:50 power according to the spirit of holiness.
- 11:52 And that's a lost piece of information, much less
- 11:57 doctrine today.
- 11:59 But I believe all of that will take place.
- 12:02 Ephesians 5:27: "He's coming for a glorious church," reputation
- 12:07 of God.
- 12:08 So, and then he said right in the same book, how we can become
- 12:12 the glorious church.
- 12:14 Ephesians 3:19, he says, If you will know the love of--and so I
- 12:19 see this, it's a commandment from God.
- 12:22 But because I know God, I've been to his house.
- 12:27 Joshua: That is the coolest statement I've heard that--
- 12:29 Mel: I know him. He's a loving, wonderful God.
- 12:35 And so it's not a commandment, it's an invitation.
- 12:38 I want you to know how much I love you.
- 12:41 Ephesians 3:19, that "passes all knowledge, then you'll be filled
- 12:45 with the fullness of God."
- 12:46 If we're filled with the fullness of God, man, we're
- 12:49 gonna be holy people.
- 12:51 And then you're gonna be the glorious church.
- 12:54 You'll be that glorious church.
- 12:57 And that's a foundation that God has put in my heart so strong is
- 13:02 that people needs to know the love of God, for them,
- 13:08 experience it, know it in their mind, know it in their heart,
- 13:11 that passes all knowledge.
- 13:13 And if you know the love of God that passes all knowledge,
- 13:16 Ephesians 3:19, you'll be filled with the fullness of God.
- 13:19 And then Ephesians 3:20, then you're--"He's able to do
- 13:24 exceedingly abundantly above all that we're able to ask
- 13:28 or think."
- 13:29 And that word "think" is imagine.
- 13:31 Imagine, according to the power that works in us.
- 13:34 Well, what's the power we're talking about?
- 13:36 The next--the verse prior to that, knowing the love of God.
- 13:39 The love of God is the power of God.
- 13:42 Mel: In Jesus's name, I just take authority
- 13:46 over that condition in her ankle.
- 13:48 You have to leave, in Jesus's name.
- 13:52 [audience applauding]
- 14:06 Joshua: Words literally cannot describe the feeling of God's
- 14:10 love that emanates from this general of the faith.
- 14:12 Being in his presence is what I most closely resemble to being
- 14:16 in the presence of God because it just pours off of him.
- 14:18 He's a humble man.
- 14:20 Mel doesn't like to speak about everything that he's
- 14:22 experienced, but he has been visited by Yeshua over 30 times
- 14:25 and he says this should not be an unusual expectation for the
- 14:29 believer, but we should expect that level of intimacy with
- 14:32 the Father.
- 14:33 Caleb: That's right.
- 14:34 God wants to make his presence known, his power known, to
- 14:36 every individual.
- 14:38 And Mel likes to teach about that how through faith and love,
- 14:41 we can unlock that supernatural power.
- 14:43 But now we're gonna go back to Mel as he teaches about this
- 14:45 last days' move of God and how it's supposed to be accompanied
- 14:48 by signs and wonders and healings.
- 14:51 You don't wanna miss this.
- 14:54 ♪♪♪
- 15:02 ♪♪♪
- 15:12 Mel: And that's what's gonna cause the ministry of signs
- 15:15 and wonders.
- 15:17 Jesus didn't go around healing the sick, trying to prove
- 15:21 he's God.
- 15:22 The Bible says in the book of Hebrews that he hurts when we
- 15:26 hurt, even if you have a sorrow or disappointment, he
- 15:30 feels that.
- 15:31 That--one of the greatest miracles I've seen was several
- 15:34 years ago.
- 15:35 My goodness, I think it was about 19--mid '80s, anyway.
- 15:38 And there was a couple come to our church and they had
- 15:41 a daughter.
- 15:42 She's in the children's hospital down in Saint Louis.
- 15:45 So they asked me if I'd go down there and pray for her.
- 15:47 So I did.
- 15:48 When I went in there, I'll never forget this as long as I live.
- 15:50 Man, it just changed me and I remember her little bed was
- 15:54 right over here.
- 15:56 And so she wasn't--didn't look too bad, you know, she
- 16:00 looked okay.
- 16:01 She just was sick and had some severe issues.
- 16:05 But, you know, she could talk and say--then I seen a little
- 16:07 baby over here.
- 16:09 It couldn't have been more than, maybe, I don't know, maybe 4
- 16:12 months old.
- 16:13 But--and so his name was Philip.
- 16:15 He had his head shaved and his body was swollen and he had
- 16:20 tubes and, you know, going all in his body, all over the place
- 16:27 and his body looked horrible.
- 16:29 It was--wasn't--it was gray.
- 16:32 And I looked at little Philip and he looked like a corpse and
- 16:37 they just had breathing machines and everything.
- 16:39 And so I asked the nurse, I says, "What's wrong with him?"
- 16:43 And I think she said it was some kind of meningitis.
- 16:45 It's been so long ago.
- 16:47 And so I said, "Well, do you think the parents would mind if
- 16:52 I pray for him?"
- 16:53 And they said, "I know the parents, they'd love for you to
- 16:56 pray for him."
- 16:58 And I'll never forget this.
- 17:00 I laid my hand, my left hand, on little Philip and, man, it
- 17:04 just hurt.
- 17:05 It hurt so bad.
- 17:06 I just started crying.
- 17:08 I was shaking.
- 17:09 I'm thinking if anybody needs to be healed, little Philip, he's
- 17:13 never done anything.
- 17:15 Such an innocent little boy.
- 17:18 And I was just shaking like this.
- 17:20 And then I--then I had a vision.
- 17:21 I seen Jesus stand on the left side of me and Jesus was shaking
- 17:26 so much more than me.
- 17:27 And he says, "Mel," he says, "if you think you hurt, you don't
- 17:31 hurt nothing like I do.
- 17:33 I hurt supernaturally."
- 17:35 And he says, "But I can't do anything for anybody until I can
- 17:38 find somebody that will allow my unconditional love, that they'll
- 17:44 hurt when they hurt."
- 17:47 And he says--and he just--and then he disappeared, and then
- 17:51 little Philip didn't look any different.
- 17:53 But I come back next week and I--to see if--little Philip.
- 17:57 And the--and I looked, and I said--and his bed was empty.
- 18:01 And I--and it just kind of crushed me.
- 18:03 I thought, "Oh, no, where's little Philip?"
- 18:04 I asked the nurse and she says, "Well, I'll show you."
- 18:07 He's sitting up in a high chair, eating.
- 18:10 And when I seen him, his little fingers was already rotted off.
- 18:13 They were just a piece of scab.
- 18:15 His toes were the same way, and his fingers were growing back,
- 18:19 and he was sitting in a little high chair.
- 18:22 It's the love of God is the power of God.
- 18:26 We need--we need services to where that we're not trying to--
- 18:31 and I wish I could just blank my face.
- 18:33 I don't want to be seen, I want him to be seen.
- 18:37 But we need services to where that we don't need any more
- 18:40 spiritual celebrities.
- 18:42 We need people that hurts when other people hurts.
- 18:48 And that's the force of God flowing through.
- 18:53 He's look--he needs some vessels that will hurt when
- 18:57 other people hurts.
- 18:59 And it's--we're on the verge of seeing the greatest miracles.
- 19:05 I mean, the Bible says, "And if we neglect so great a salvation
- 19:10 signs and wonders, there'll be no--there'll be no Rapture."
- 19:15 In Matthew chapter 15, there was, like, 5000 men, not
- 19:20 counting the women or the children.
- 19:22 And so there was easily 15,000, maybe 30,000 people.
- 19:26 They followed Jesus for the main reason, they were sick,
- 19:30 diseased, they followed him.
- 19:32 And the Bible says Jesus was moved with compassion.
- 19:36 Compassion was the driving force that put him on the cross.
- 19:41 And it says, "He healed them all."
- 19:44 And then it said, and it used a different word in the Greek.
- 19:47 It says, "All of the maimed," in the Greek, those missing bodily
- 19:52 parts, "All of the maimed were instantly made whole."
- 19:56 People missing arms and legs, they grew out.
- 20:01 Nothing too big for our God.
- 20:03 He spoke the world into existence with the power of
- 20:06 his Word.
- 20:07 He hasn't changed.
- 20:09 And so, to me, that's one of the greatest.
- 20:12 And I've got a book written, "The Doctrine of
- 20:15 Recreative Miracles."
- 20:17 There's over 100 verses of the New Testament where it shows
- 20:21 that the doctrine of recreation is just as real as salvation.
- 20:27 In fact, if there is no--if there is no recreation, there's
- 20:32 no salvation, because the word "salvation" from Genesis to
- 20:35 Revelation, even though in the Old Testament, it's a
- 20:37 different--it's Hebrew words and New Testament, Greek.
- 20:40 And--but they have the same meaning and one of the words for
- 20:43 salvation means healing, means prosper, but it also
- 20:46 means wholeness.
- 20:48 So if somebody comes knocking on our door, Joshua, knocks on your
- 20:52 door this afternoon, and says, "Joshua, I heard you're a man
- 20:57 of God.
- 20:58 I'm gonna go to hell.
- 20:59 Can you tell me how I can get-- be saved, so I don't go
- 21:02 to hell?"
- 21:04 You say, "Let's just pray."
- 21:05 Romans 10:9 and 10, and they get saved, not 5 minutes later,
- 21:12 instantly, they're saved.
- 21:14 They have--they're a new creation.
- 21:17 When somebody knocks on your door and they say, "Well, my
- 21:21 arm, I lost it in a motorcycle accident 10 years ago.
- 21:26 Can you help me?
- 21:27 I need some salvation," same word.
- 21:30 But we've been indoctrinated with manmade doctrines and we've
- 21:35 put God--we've made him too little.
- 21:39 And people, there's may-- hopefully, people that are
- 21:43 watching me that they don't turn it off, but there'll be some
- 21:46 people says I'm an extremist, and I am.
- 21:50 I'm proud of it.
- 21:53 Jesus was extremist.
- 21:55 I extremely believe that God's an Almighty God, that he's the
- 22:00 same yesterday, today, and forever.
- 22:02 And as I studied the book of Joel chapter 2, it talks about
- 22:05 how that all the miracles that has ever existed, they're gonna
- 22:09 exist in this last days' move of God.
- 22:12 And it says in the first month, all the miracles that has ever
- 22:16 existed will take place in the first month.
- 22:20 And after the--and that's us doing--we do what we can.
- 22:23 And then after that, then it-- then God says, "Okay, now it's
- 22:27 my turn.
- 22:28 Then I pour out my Spirit."
- 22:30 Caleb: And that's what Peter quoted on the Day of Shavuot,
- 22:33 on Pentecost.
- 22:34 Mel: Yes, so that means everything that took place in
- 22:37 the Old Testament-- all those miracles are gonna
- 22:41 happen the first month and I'm gonna be right there because
- 22:45 I'm extremist.
- 22:47 That means all the dead will rise.
- 22:53 That means masses of people missing bodily parts, they grow.
- 23:00 Moses separated the Red Sea.
- 23:03 We're gonna--we're gonna--if somebody else don't do it, I'm
- 23:06 gonna do it.
- 23:08 I come not with just excellency of--we've got more different
- 23:11 religions and isms and schisms than ever before.
- 23:14 But I tell you what, we don't have the signs and wonders.
- 23:17 Caleb: Yeah, we don't.
- 23:19 Mel: Our God, no other gods.
- 23:20 I remember when I went to India that they had 36,000 gods.
- 23:24 None of them could heal a mosquito with a headache.
- 23:27 And I had, when I went there, I challenged them all.
- 23:29 I said, "Well, let your God-- you go ahead and do your thing.
- 23:33 And then I'll let my--" and you know what?
- 23:35 In one service, we had 35,000 people and 50% were Muslims,
- 23:41 50% were Hindus.
- 23:43 When they seen the miracles, we brought them miracles.
- 23:45 And a little girl that was 16 years of age and she was--her
- 23:50 brother was a Punjabi.
- 23:52 I think that's how you pronounce it.
- 23:53 Punjabi. They uphold the law.
- 23:55 If you tell a lie in India back in those years, I don't know if
- 23:58 they still do it, then they just chop your head over--chop your
- 24:01 head off after the service.
- 24:03 And so I put up signs all over India or in that area, it was in
- 24:08 Hubballi and I says, "Bring in the blind, the deaf,
- 24:12 the crippled.
- 24:13 Bring in the dead, and my God will instantly heal them."
- 24:17 And I still have the banner. We've got it here someplace.
- 24:20 Maybe I'll pull it out for you if you'd like to see it.
- 24:23 But it's big.
- 24:24 It's 14--I put a--I put these banners all across the streets.
- 24:27 And then on the other side, I said, "If my God doesn't do it,
- 24:31 destroy me."
- 24:33 So the Punjabis, they come with their swords, gonna chop my
- 24:37 head off.
- 24:38 And that's the--and so the Punjabi brought his 16-year-old
- 24:42 sister and she's all deformed, never walked, blind, deaf, and
- 24:49 mentally handicapped and he had to carry her up.
- 24:52 She's like this...
- 24:54 But when God's power come on the scene and recreated her body,
- 25:00 I--then I asked the crowd, I says, "The God that I serve can
- 25:04 give a greater miracle than this for everybody here.
- 25:07 Is there anybody here that wants one?"
- 25:09 All 35,000 raised their hands.
- 25:12 Then I told them the simple story about Jesus.
- 25:14 And I says, "Now here's how you get it."
- 25:17 I told them the simple story.
- 25:18 I says, "Now how many wants to have this life eternal and have
- 25:23 abundant life?
- 25:25 It's greater than this miracle."
- 25:26 They raised both hands.
- 25:28 Thirty-five thousand Muslims and Hindus accept Jesus because I
- 25:33 come not with excellency of speech, but demonstration
- 25:37 of power.
- 25:38 So your faith will stand in the power, the love of God, and not
- 25:42 just words of man.
- 25:44 We need that as never before.
- 25:47 Joshua: In his true humble fashion, Mel off camera told us
- 25:50 the story of the first miracle that he experienced.
- 25:53 And after Yeshua visited him personally and commissioned him,
- 25:56 "Go and pray for these people," he went to Central America and
- 25:59 he had big flyers printed up that said, "Bring your sick,
- 26:03 bring your infirm, even bring your dead, and God is going to
- 26:06 heal them."
- 26:08 Now, he's never experienced miracles before, right?
- 26:09 So he begins preaching to a group of thousands that show up
- 26:12 to see these miracles.
- 26:13 And there's just lines and lines of the sick and infirm.
- 26:16 But suddenly as he's praying for people, these four men bring in
- 26:19 their dead mother who had died that day and drop her body right
- 26:23 in front of him.
- 26:24 And so in that moment, he has to rely on the faith that he says
- 26:27 he believes in and he lays hands on her and prays for her and
- 26:30 nothing appears to happen.
- 26:32 So he says, "I got to distract them somehow."
- 26:33 So he walks down the line to pray for other people, hoping
- 26:36 that they'll forget that nothing seemed to happen for
- 26:38 their mother.
- 26:40 And suddenly a few minutes later, a ruckus occurs
- 26:42 behind him.
- 26:43 He looks and she's been raised from the dead.
- 26:45 She is whooping and hollering, they're whooping and hollering.
- 26:48 And this was the beginning of the healing ministry that Yeshua
- 26:52 commissioned him, just like he's commissioned us, to go into all
- 26:55 the world to spread that good news.
- 26:57 Caleb: That's right, and Mel has pastored a church for the last
- 27:00 10 years in Missouri, but God called him to close down that
- 27:02 church to go back into the world to have these meetings and to
- 27:06 preach the gospel and to share his love with last days signs
- 27:10 and wonders, which is actually the title of his television
- 27:12 program, "Last Days Signs and Wonders."

- 27:18 Joshua: You can't have anything in life without faith.
- 27:19 In fact, faith without works is dead, is what the Bible says.
- 27:22 So whether you're believing for a special touch from Yeshua,
- 27:25 whether you're believing for finances, whether you're
- 27:27 believing for the dead to be raised, it requires you stepping
- 27:30 out in faith.
