Sid: I want everyone everywhere mentored under Don Gossett because Don is a precious jewel but he spent the last sixty plus years learning from the best faith teachers on the planet and then he started operating just like them and I want you to get these gems. For instance Don have you seen or have you prayed for a dead person that has come back to life?
Don: Yes, more than once in the book “He’s the Miracle” I sure did account for what happened out in Indiana City way up North. They told me they know you don’t have large crowds here like you have down South in India where you’ve ministered to 10’s of thousands each night. But Sid about 500 people is about all we’ve had and that very first night the crowd was about a 1000 which pleased the missionaries. And their people were all seated of course on the ground and suddenly a man his wife both stood up and a lady walked over and poured water on the little boy. I was preaching on the blood of Jesus and I paused and “What’s going on?” So the husband and wife came forward with the little boy in their arms and in Hindi the father was wailing my child is dead, my child is dead that the interpreter he shared with me what he was saying. So that’s when I asked the people all to stand together and unite with us as we prayed a prayer of faith; the personal workers were around the couple with their little boy. After just a very comparative short time suddenly it came out over the victory shout that he’s breathing, he’s alive, he’s healed. One of the members of our team was a Dr. Daniel a Medical Doctor he confirmed what actually what had happened. Over 10 minutes the boy was dead and now he had life abundant; and the very next morning the mother brought the little boy to see my wife and me and he was very much alive, he was alert and ran of course he was. So that is one of…
Sid: Out of curiosity how did the crowd react when they saw that?
Don: The crowd reaction was amazing being a strong Hindu town the word spread just like wild fire that a boy was raised from the dead at the meeting and they came instead of a 1000 there were estimated over 10,000 that came forward. And I said to them “I know the reason you have come tonight because of this boy over here that was raised from the dead last night but I want you to know what’s most important is not his raising from the dead but Jesus Christ the Son of God who died on the cross of Calvary. That He was raised from the dead the third day and He’s alive forevermore. And now it you’ll receive Jesus Christ you can be saved; you can be born again. I asked them “How many of you are ready to make this act of confession of faith?” And normally in India because of the great prevalence of all kinds of gods and goddesses and idols they have, I will always ask them and give them a salvation invitation “I hereby renounce all my gods and goddesses and I will forsake all my idols; and I’ll receive Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord.” Soon after a prayer of something like that I’ve lead 1000’s of them in that way and I ask them “You know for sure you’ve received Christ and you know you’re now born again. In veritably there were hands that go up just in mass. That’s what was always so convincing is the miraculous working of God.
Sid: Okay I want to learn something right now Don. When you prayed for that dead baby tell me I want you to as best you can reconstruct it number 1 did the thought cross your mind “Uh oh! I’m going to pray for this dead child and he’s not going to come back to life;” did that thought cross your mind??
Don: You know in such an atmosphere of the level of faith and Hebrews and probably 2nd Corinthians 4:13 “We having the same Spirit of Faith according to as it was written I believed therefore I’ve spoken; we also believed therefore we speak.” And I knew the importance of the connection of believing and speaking, that’s the way faith functions. Basically you speak the word and then you simply act upon it with great confidence. Well that’s what really gripped my heart that praise God it will be the same as many other incidences the Lord is stretching for the hand. I wasn’t the healer it was all Jesus Christ and to Him is all the glory and honor.
Sid: Okay I want you if someone walked up to you this minute and put a two year old dead child in your lap I want you to tell me; I want you to actually pray for that child right now I want to know how you pray.
Don: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth the Son of the Living God I take authority and dominion over these spirits of infirmity that have invaded this little child’s life. In Jesus Name I speak forth the resurrection life of Jesus to permeate his body and life to come back into this body in Jesus Name. Then I would simply urge people with confidence to begin to give God thanks and praise in advance but also the manifestation is quite instantaneous and that’s what my result has been.
Sid: Now I know that you understand the power of worshiping God; where did you first learn that? Was it from William Freeman?
Don: No it was actually a personal visitation of Holy Spirit to my own heart and my hunger for the Lord. I was invited to go to meetings where there is a real outpouring of the Spirit. At that time it was called the Latter Rain Revival, a term that didn’t last very long; but it was characterized by real praise and worship. The people would stand for maybe an hour to praise the Lord and it became very convincing to my heart about the authority of the power to praise. I began to study the word diligently and it became such an awesome truth.
Sid: You know what I’ve noticed a ministry like say Benny Hinn, I think the greatest miracles happen because they worshiped in such a magnificent fashion and then the miracles happen. Have you noticed that?
Don: Yes absolutely it’s been a truth that God has really used to explode in the hearts of people not just by my ministry only but by many other ministries. It’s so significant it’s a forerunner of miracles.
Sid: I want to hear you praise God for about a couple of minutes; would you do that? And by the way I want you that are listening, I want you to begin to praise God after you hear how he does it and you start doing that every day. Would you just praise God Don the way you would normally do that?
Don: Lord Jesus I give you praise and thanks for You have said you inhabit the praises of your people; Lord I think You that I have the delight to praising You for a grace, salvation, deliverance and all these wonderful blessing; Lord I give you glory, I give you honor I give you praise. Thank you Lord that I’m a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation a peculiar people that I should show forth the praise of Him who has called me out of darkness into His marvelous light; and Lord I respond to You word by Him therefore let’s offer the sacrifice of praise to God continuously that’s the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His Name; Lord I offer the sacrifice of praise because of my adoration of You and Your great deliverance Your salvation. Praise You Jesus, praise you Jesus. And Sid on my daily broadcast all over the world this is what I’m most famous for if I can call it that, is I conclude a broadcast by saying “People let’s take our praise break and let’s say ‘Praise the Lord’ ten times.” Now the number ten becomes significant in a study of what is the value of it and the people everywhere that I minister they have joined me in simply an action of faith to say “Praise the Lord” and say it 10 times.”
Sid: Well, let’s do that right now.
Don: Alright “Praise the Lord.”
Sid: “Praise the Lord.”
Don: “Praise the Lord.”
Sid: “Praise the Lord.”
