Sid Roth welcomes Gary Wood

Do angels exist? Are healing miracles real? Is there life after death? Can people get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance? Sid Roth has spent twenty-five years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of “It’s Supernatural.”

 

SID: Hello, Sid Roth. Welcome to my world, where it’s naturally supernatural. You probably couldn’t wait to get here. I know I couldn’t wait to get here. My guest, Gary Wood, all the way back in 1966, was in an automobile accident, and he died. You know, the thing Gary that is so amazing to me is you’re a singer, we’ve been talking, and according to your book – we see the x-rays- you don’t have a larynx, you don’t have a voice box, your vocal cords are cut. How can you be talking?

 

GARY: It’s only a miracle. It is supernatural.

 

SID: Has any doctor said you’re not supposed to be talking?

 

GARY: Absolutely. They said that, they came in and told me that right after the accident. They told me the next day after the accident happened “You will never sing again, let alone speak.” And I was 18 years of age, so my whole world literally came to an abrupt end, because I wasn’t going to have any possible way of being able to communicate from that day forth.

 

SID: Ok. But you had the ride of all rides, you went to heaven. And in heaven, there are a number of places that intrigue me that we’ve spoken about previously. But the one that intrigues me no end is the library. Tell me about that.

 

GARY: Well, in heaven you’re not going to be floating around on a cloud and strumming a harp, you’re going to continue to learn. I saw volumes and volumes and volumes of books there. I saw prayer requests, I saw spiritual growth, I saw souls that we had won to the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

SID: Why do you suppose He keeps those records?

 

GARY: Well, I believe because it’s vitally important to Him. I believe He really is concerned, to the magnitude that I saw a man come down and receive Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. And the Bible talks about a host of witnesses that look over and see, and they were watching and observing, and they went in heaven and found this man’s mother who was already there, and they began to say to her “Rejoice, rejoice! Your son is coming home.” The angels, who of course don’t understand about salvation, they’re just our ministering ears of the household of faith, they just had to kind of stand in amazement and awe and watch as people rejoiced over someone being born into the kingdom of God. And then, Sid, I actually saw there’s a set of books that the Bible calls “the books.” From the moment you’re born to the moment you die, every thought, every deed, every intent is written in the books. Well, I saw when you receive Jesus Christ as Messiah, when you accept Him, the angel takes a red cloth, wipes away all the transgressions that are in what is called “the books.” Your name is transferred over

to a book called the Lamb’s book of life. I saw it.

 

SID: Did you see your name?

 

GARY: I saw my name written in the Lamb’s book of life. I was adopted, and so it was amazing to me that my adopted name, when I accepted Jesus as my Savior, was written in the Lamb’s book of life. And it said “Paid in full by the precious red blood of Jesus.”

 

SID: Now you know what? You have to be mashuga to want to go on your own righteousness

and your own good deeds. That’s what I was taught as a Jew. I was taught as long as my good deeds outweighed my bad deeds, I would end up at this place called heaven, but we didn’t even think about it. And the truth of the matter is, we didn’t even think. Now Gary, Jesus said to you there were ten – this is back in ’66 – there were ten things that had to happen before He returned.

What were some of those things?

 

GARY: Let me just tell you real quickly, one of them of course is the re-gathering of the Jews to Israel.

 

SID: He told you that?

 

GARY: Yes sir. First of all, it was the rebirth of Israel. I saw that and heard that, about the rebirth of Israel, and then the re-gathering of Jews back to their homeland. The sign of the scoffer. Peter talks about people scoffing. Knowledge explosion. There’s never been knowledge known to mankind like the day and age in which we’re living. Nuclear weapons are invented now. He showed me international TV. Sid, you understand that, because right now we’re going all over the world. My father couldn’t dream of that, he couldn’t even think of something other than a little black and white TV set. Deception is running rampant around America. Pestilences, earthquakes. I heard on the news, there’s a new disease right now that just killed a young man just this week, and they’re saying there’s no immunity for it. There’s no cure for it. The news said last night it could literally be more devastating than AIDS. And then Jesus said “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man.”

 

SID: Question. The ten things that He said had to happen before He returns, how many have not happened?

 

GARY: All of them have happened. Every one of them have happened.

 

SID: Do you believe, not based on your opinion but based on what God told you, He will come in your lifetime?

 

GARY: I absolutely believe that. I believe it strongly.

 

SID: What did He say?

 

GARY: He told me to prepare people for heaven, and that He would return in my lifetime. I saw the trumpets sitting on the golden stand. My assignment on this earth is to tell people that there’s a heaven, and it’s a real, literal place, and you want to go there.

 

SID: Ok, now I know that’s your assignment, but you wrote a book called “A Place Called Heaven”, and I have your daughter’s book “Angel.” Talk about childlike faith, wow. Why did you write this book?

 

GARY: Well, I wrote it in simplicity to let people have the opportunity to know that God has a plan for them in the future.

 

SID: Did He ask you to write this?

 

GARY: Yes He did. In heaven, He told me “There’s a book to write, there’s a missionary journey to take, there’s a message to proclaim.”

 

SID: What did He say would happen to people who read this book?

 

GARY: He said when people read this book, they will be saved, healed, and delivered, and that means set free.

 

SID: Have you heard of people healed that have read this?

 

GARY: Absolutely. Just the other night, there was a woman who came to our services and she had a rotor cup that was torn, and instantly God healed it. We have a lot of areas with problems in the back where people are healed supernaturally. God told me to do something very phenomenal, Sid, He told me if I would put my foot on peoples’ backs and release my faith, He would do chiropractic adjustments.

 

SID: When you put your foot on peoples’ backs?…

 

GARY: I put my foot on their back…

 

SID: Let me tell you, see, it gets wilder. Don’t go away, we’ll be right back.
