Sid: Hello.
Sid Roth here.
Welcome to my world where it’s
naturally supernatural.
My guest is considered by many
the father of the modern day
prophetic movement, and I found
out one of his secrets.
He had an audience with Michael
the archangel who instructed him
strategies to win every battle.
And I can tell you, I’m going to
ask him on the air to do an
amazing strategy that most
people don’t know
is in the Bible.
And when he does this angels go
on assignment.
Do you know what it is?
It’s the shout!
[Applause]
Dr. Bill Hammond, you have been
a general of the prophetic for
some six decades.
You were about 16 years old, you
became a believer and then you
went to church and you had quite
an encounter
with the Holy Spirit.
Tell me about it.
Bill Hammond: Well it wasn’t
really a church.
It was Russian Armenia
in the country.
Sid: I’ve read about Russian
Armenia.
What is that?
Bill Hammond: Russian Armenia,
there was no electricity out
there and you go out there, and
you cut down some little
saplings, and they put them
around there,
put the brush over the top, hang
kerosene lanterns up.
Sid: That’s good for Daniel
Boone.
I like electricity.
Bill Hammond: And they put
bridge boards across the blocks
and some saw dust down by the
altar there.
You’ve heard about going down
the Old Sawdust Trail?
Sid: Yes.
Bill Hammond: That’s what that
is.
Well I went down there to the
Old Sawdust Trail and that’s
where that bridge work was done.
And I had never been church in
my life.
I didn’t know anything about God
or anything,
but I saw a vision of Jesus
hanging on the cross and he
looked at me and he said, “I
died for you,
will you live for me?”
All this time I’m see this in
the Spirit and pretty soon a
little brother comes and starts
pushing me on the shoulder and
says, “Yes, that’s it, brother,
that’s it.”
I’m wondering in my natural
mind,
what is he talking about.
He said, “Just turn loose.”
So I turned loose to the altar.
Then he said, “Hang on back
over there”.
Then he said, “Just talk it out.
The Lord said talk.”
I listened to myself and I was
talking a language that wasn’t
Oklahoman lingo.
You know, it wasn’t English, and
I spoke in tongues for about 45
minutes, and that was in 1950,
and I’ve been doing it now for
67 years.
Sid: Well a few years later
you’re in a Bible school and all
of a sudden God spoke to you and
you had
a four-hour experience with God.
What happened?
Bill Hammond: I went from
Portland down to Salem to preach
at night and after the preaching
we all went to the altar and
started praying.
And all of a sudden the Holy
Spirit spoke to me and said,
“Get comfortable.
I’ve got something new for you.”
So I crossed my legs like an old
Indian chief,
and I’m real comfortable, and
for the next four hours,
I’ll use modern terminology from
computers today that they didn’t
have then.
But it was in modern
terminology,
my spirit uploaded to God and
God’s Spirit downloaded to me.
I would speak for about five
minutes in a more Spanish or
Italian, or French language, and
it would go appealing,
requesting, I’d go
[speaking in tongues].
It would go about five minutes
then stop just like that.
Then I’d switch and God would
download again,
and it would be in a German,
Russian type language.
[speaking in tongues].
I could sense what I was saying,
but I didn’t understand it.
You could sense what people are
talking and hear us,
and he was instructing me.
And that went on off and on
about five minutes
for four hours.
Three months later, the Bible
College split right down the
middle, five teachers left.
All these students were very
confused,
they didn’t know what to do.
And I was praying, seeking God,
and God told me,
he said, “Bill, don’t worry
about it.
I’ll put it in modern
terminology.
While you prayed for four hours,
I pre-programmed your spirit and
your mind.
You cannot fail.
You won’t make the wrong
decision.
I’ve already pre-programmed you.
You just go with the flow.
I’m going to direct.
I’ll call circumstances and
providential happenings
and you’ll be moved right into
my time and purpose.
You are already pre-programmed.
You can’t miss it.
Sid: I like that.
How about you?
You’re pre-programmed and can’t
miss it.
Another you said interested me.
Right from the get-go you were
speaking more than one language.
Bill Hammond: Yes.
Sid: Whereas most believers that
speak in supernatural languages,
they stay with one language
their whole life.
Bill Hammond: I have a language
when I go to warfare that I
speak, and I’m just talking to
God,
I’m talking another language,
when I’m interceding,
another language, when I’m
worshiping,
another language.
Sid: I’m intrigued with the
angel,
Archangel Michael.
You had a private audience with
him.
How come I didn’t?
Bill Hammond: Well because of my
calling to be,
for the last 20 years I’ve led
people in warfare to destroy the
works of the devil.
And in ’92 to 2001, I traveled
all over the Pacific Rim
nations, led them into warfare
to stop the devil’s plans for
World War III.
So I was operating like a
general and I’m with the Lord,
and God gave me a four-point
vision.
I’ve had about five or six
visions in my whole lifetime.
I’m not a person to give in to
bettin time.
I’m a more practical prophetic.
But in this vision the Lord led
me up this path.
It seemed like I was out here
watching all this happen.
And the Lord came up and he
says,
“General Michael, this is one of
my generals of the Army of the
Saints on Earth.”
Then he says, “General Hammond,
this is General Michael,
the head of my Army of Angels.”
And he says, “You’re going to
co-labor together to accomplish
my work and destroy the powers
of darkness and defeat the
armies of wicked spirits.”
I was out here just kind of
watching,
I was kind of from behind
watching,
and we were just talking like
you and I would talk,
strategizing, and going there,
and he thought,
and now I’m using those
strategies around the world.
The greatest corporate weapon
that the church has is the shout
of faith, and it goes off in the
spirit realm like
an atomic bomb does.
Sid: Would you do me a favor?
Bill Hammond: Yes.
Sid: Would you look in the
camera and give
a shout of faith.
I want to see what it’s like.
Bill Hammond: What I do?
Okay.
Hallelujah!
Amen.
Sid: My goodness that was a
shout.
What’s going on in the spirit
realm when you do that?
Bill Hammond: When we do that
it’s what’s called
prophetic acts of faith.
When you do it here, see we
fight,
we’re a natural people, but we
do a spiritual warfare,
and we’re seated and
have no places of crime.
But whatever we do here angels
do in the spirit realm.
We shout, they warfare, and they
wait for our shout and for our
obedience, and they do it.
And so as we’re shouting Michael
told me,
he said, “If you’re ever in
trouble give a call and
I’ll be right there.”
Sid: Okay, Desert Storm, you did
all this intercession
as Michael taught you.
What were the results?
Bill Hammond: We can cancel
anything the devil plans.
We the church can cancel and
stop it.
He told me, he said, “You’ve won
the war.
You’ve confused the situation
you’ve stopped their activity
and there’s not going to be a
third world war now.
Sid: Okay, now when we come
back,
how would you like to hear
scientific evidence of the value
in speaking in supernatural
languages?
Be right back.
[Applause]
[Applause]
Sid: Dr. Hammond, you teach on
the three greatest gifts that
humanity has received.
Explain.
Bill Hammond: Yes.
Once a person realizes that God
so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten son that
whosever would have everlasting
life, so God’s gift to the world
was his only begotten son.
Out of all of his wisdom and
resources the only way to redeem
mankind was through the
sacrifice of the blood of Jesus
Christ on the cross.
So he gave that gift.
Then Jesus said, “I’ve come to
do thy will,
O Lord.”
He came at the will of the
Father,
gave his life on the cross
because he came to save sinners,
because he had to have sinners
to make saints.
And so Jesus came and died on
the cross,
purchased the church with his
blood,
then he wanted to send his gift
of the Holy Spirit back to the
church to convert and convince,
and to mature and equip the
church with the gifts of the
Spirit,
and all of that.
Then when Jesus went back he
sent the Holy Spirit and the
Holy Spirit wanted to give his
gift to the individual believer.
But he searched all of Heaven,
all of God’s treasures,
all that God had to offer in
Heaven,
and God had agreed the greatest
and best gift he could possibly
give the individual believer was
your own spirit language,
where God is a spirit and the
worshiper must worship
in spirit and truth.
So when you receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit,
which is your spirit language,
that’s the gift,
evangelicals get upset because
they think we’re saying you
don’t have the Holy Spirit until
you talk in tongues.
Now I was born of the Spirit, so
I had the Holy Spirit,
but I didn’t have the Holy
Spirit’s gift.
See, it’s a gift of the Holy
Spirit,
like the gift of God is eternal
life.
The gift of the Holy Spirit is
your spirit language and that
spirit language has many, many,
many benefits that 90 percent of
Christians don’t use.
Sid: You know what I found that
as you pray more and more in
tongues, the Holy Spirit gives
you more and more reasons
and benefits.
Bill Hammond: Yes.
Sid: Tell me the latest one he’s
given you.
Bill Hammond: The latest one he
gave me was that the speaking in
tongues does the same thing for
our spirit person as your heart
does for your natural person.
Your heart beats and puts blood
throughout all your veins and
that life-giving blood is what
keeps you going.
Well speaking in tongues floods
and pumps the Holy Spirit
presence throughout your whole
spirit,
soul and body.
And Oral Roberts University did
research and found that it
increases your immunity system
35 percent.
Sid: Imagine what my immune
system would be if I prayed
without ceasing, which is my
goal.
Give me just some bullet points,
benefits of speaking in tongues.
Bill Hammond: There are so many.
It activates the spirit of
wisdom and revelation.
It empowers you for ministry and
so many benefits of healing of
your brain and mind, builds your
faith.
The only two ways I know it
builds your faith is the Word of
God and praying in tongues, and
that’s proven.
A psychiatrist received the
guest in a charismatic movement.
What praying in tongues, he
said,
clears out your subconscious and
your spirit prays out your
fears, your anxieties, your
traumas,
and loves and worships God, you
can’t do it
in the natural tongue.
And you’ve got your own built-in
psychiatrist.
You don’t have to go crazy.
Sid: Can I accomplish my full
destiny that God has for me if I
don’t pray in tongues?
Bill Hammond: It’s going to be
pretty hard.
Sid: I think it’s impossible.
Science has revealed the
benefits of praying in tongues.
Bill Hammond: It’s a language,
so it is
an intelligent language.
It’s a language of the spirit.
That’s the reason I call it your
spirit language,
because it is a language.
Paul said if I pray in tongues
in my spirit language,
my spirit praise, but my mind is
inactive.
He says it’s inactive.
And so they have tests in Penn
University,
and Dr. Newburgh there did some
tests and they put these
instruments on the frontal lobes
of some people praying,
evangelicals and nuns, and when
they did this really activated
right here in your frontal lobe.
And they gave it to a, put it on
Christian praying in tongues and
it went blank, no activity.
And that proves what Paul said.
If I pray in tongues, my spirit
prays,
but my natural mind, my frontal
lobe area is inactive,
and they proved that
scientifically.
Sid: To me, the acid test is the
results you see in people.
I know I have prayed in Filipino
language and led someone to know
the Messiah.
I don’t speak one word of the
Filipino language.
But get this, this doctor that I
led to the Lord said,
“You not only prayed in my
language,
did you know there’s over 20
different dialects in the
Philippines?
You prayed in my exact dialect.”
Why do you call speaking in the
supernatural language the father
and mother of all gifts?
Bill Hammond: Oh my, thank you
for asking that,
because that’s so important.
You know, so many people feel
like the only time they’re
supernatural is they’re healing
or you see an angel,
or you make a visit to Heaven.
But I try to tell people, look,
you’ve already experienced the
two greatest miracles in the
world.
I mean, when God created the
heavens and the earth
that was a miracle.
But when you receive born-again
experience and God washes away
all your sins and makes a new
creation out of you,
and that’s not just religious,
you literally become a new
creation in Christ.
All things pass away, all things
become new.
That’s the father of all
miracles,
the born-again experience.
Then the mother of all miracles
is what James said,
“No man can tame the tongue, but
God can.”
So when you receive your spirit
language and God tames your
tongue and speaks a language
through it,
that’s the mother of all
miracles.
And really, I try to
get and say, look,
you’ve already experienced
the father of all miracles and
the mother miracles, you
shouldn’t be,
the rest are your kids.
Your healing, your miracle, your
fulfillment,
financially, whatever the rest
is,
is small compared to that.
So if you’ve got the faith you
just got to exercise it.
Sid: All right, I am ready, I
know you’re ready to have a
million volts of power surge
through your body and help you
achieve your destiny.
We’ll be right back.
We now return to It’s
Supernatural.
[Applause]
Sid: Okay, I want a million
volts of power
to surge through me.
Tell me how.
Bill Hammond: Now people
listening to that might say
that’s impossible, but it’s not.
You’ve got your own built-in
power plant within you when you
receive your Holy Spirit
language.
Let me tell you how it works.
Early in the 1950s, when my wife
and I were traveling in ministry
and we went, we stopped at
Hoover Dam.
And one of the main reasons for
building the dam
is to produce power.
Now that Hoover Dam produces
enough power for three states in
the north.
Sid: I’d say that’s a lot of
power.
Bill Hammond: That’s a lot of
power,
millions and millions of it.
But we’ve got our own
hydroelectric power plant,
only it’s a Holy Ghost power
plant,
and here’s what it is.
A dam has a reservoir, but it’s
not producing any power.
And certain things has to happen
for it produce power.
Now they built the dam in a
certain way.
They got overflow where water
flows over the dam below.
They have these cuts called
water gates.
They open that water gate and
there’s a big turbine like the
blades on a jet plane, and when
the water hits those curved
blades it’s turned on real fast,
and it turns into a gigantic
dynamo, and that dynamo is
described as a mechanical
instrument that produces
invisible
power called electricity.
Jesus said, “After you receive
the Holy Spirit
you shall have power.”
So you get the power to the
process.
So the water gate is our mouth.
The turbine is our tongue.
Jesus said, “Out of your inner
most being will flow innermost
living water.”
So this river of water that’s
been backed up,
God is flowing, when these
blades go real fast,
it turns and it generates
millions
of volts of electricity.
And so we have our own built-in
Holy Ghost power plant,
we can produce that power.
And a Christian never has an
excuse for him not to be full of
power, so he transforms to us
what we’re capable of receiving,
and then we manifest the gifts
of the Spirit,
healings, miracles, signs,
accomplishments.
And so for that to happen, not
just be filled with the Spirit,
you’ve got to open the water
gate,
your mouth, my spirit, the Holy
Spirit,
that produces love, joy, peace,
power,
faith, revelation.
It floods my whole being with
the presence of God and it
quickens you, it renews your
youth,
and gives you faith and power,
and anointing.
Sid: You teach that you pray at
the speed of light.
What do you mean by that?
Bill Hammond: Yes.
One of my ministers was praying
and he had this whole list he
wanted covered, and it went real
fast.
I said, “O Lord, I can’t pray
that fast.”
He says, “You don’t understand,
pray in tongues because God is
light and the light is in you,
and the Holy Spirit’s light,
when you pray in tongues, you
pray at the speed of light.
When you pray in your natural
language you pray
at the speed of sound.”
Sid: Tell me about how you get
information that has never been
programmed into your mind,
revelation that has never,
you’ve never even, it’s not even
been a blip on the radar,
and all of a sudden you have it.
There was an 11-year-old
autistic girl.
Bill Hammond: Yes.
This was unique.
The article came in the
newspaper and on the radio that
this autistic girl down in
Florida had wandered over to a
spot and she wandered out, and
rode her bicycle over to this
place, and wandered out into
this forestry area,
and over into the area.
And so they discovered her
bicycle where
she had gone in there.
[begin video]
Man: Yes, that’s
her bike.
That’s her bike.
Woman: It looks like it.
Man: Good, at least we’re
getting somewhere.
[end video]
Bill Hammond: And so
they had four teams searching
for her, professional church
teams in this thick area and one
of the most alligator-infested
areas.
Four days they looked for her,
couldn’t find her.
And one of the brothers of the
church named James was praying
in English for her, and he
started praying in tongues,
and he just felt in his spirit
that if he would go out there
and pray in tongues the Holy
Spirit would guide him.
Now God chose the right person
because he was a woodsman and he
was a military man.
He knew what gear to take.
He knew what water was there.
I mean, he went prepared.
He wasn’t a novice or just a
spooky spiritual or something.
I mean, he was a real person.
And he goes out there and he was
just being led in the Spirit.
Go here, go there, and finally
come to this little spot,
crossed over to this higher
place,
a little island there, and he
works his way through this thick
growth, and he finds her.
Now they can’t even see it.
They fly over with a helicopter,
he has to climb up a tree,
had toilet tissue and thread it
across so they can see.
Then they came down with a
hatchet,
a machete to get back there to
her.
But he just asked the Holy
Spirit,
God, you guide me.
And, Sid, the Holy Spirit
there is to direct
our impressions and sensitivity,
and for us to yield to it.
Some people call instinct or
anything.
But we have a Holy Spirit
impression.
He actually was led to the Lord
and saved
that little girl’s life.
Sid: Okay.
I’m sure the news media asked
him how he found her.
What did they say?
Bill Hammond: They said, “How
did you find her when four
professional teams couldn’t find
her?”
He said, “I just prayed in the
Holy Spirit language and he
impressed me, and I just
followed the leading that I
felt, and I found her.”
And they said that’s amazing.
That’s amazing.
Sid: In about 60 seconds, Bill,
I want you to pray for those
that are born from above
already,
who already know Jesus is the
Messiah and Lord that have never
spoken in tongues, to pray in
tongues right now.
Bill Hammond: Remember how you
got saved,
you just believed in the Lord
Jesus Christ
and he came into your heart.
Well it’s that simple.
You got to receive the Holy
Spirit.
The Bible says receive the Holy
Spirit.
He’s already made it available.
It’s already done for you.
It’s waiting for you and it’s a
simple act of faith.
You just believe God.
It’s hard to explain.
It’s like trying to explain how
the red blood of Jesus washed
away my black sins and makes me
white as snow,
but it works.
And what I do, I’m going to pray
for you right now,
and when I do, you just let your
lips and tongues just open your
mouth and don’t say Jesus,
hallelujah,
amen.
Just open your mouth and say,
“Lord,
I receive.”
Father God right now, just open
up,
in the name of Jesus, the
promise you the Holy Spirit,
receive the Holy Spirit’s gift
of your own spirit language now
in Jesus’ name.
Take a deep breath and now
[speaking in tongues].
That’s it.
Now let it flow.
Let it flow.
You receive him right now.
In Jesus’ name be filled with
the Holy Spirit.
You’re going to be able to speak
this language any time anywhere
you want to for the rest of your
life.
It’s your gift.
Receive it now in Jesus’ name.
Be filled, overflowing and grow
in the grace and knowledge of
Jesus Christ and fulfill your
destiny with the greatest gift
Jesus can give for the church,
and that’s your own spirit
language.
You’ve got it now.
Go for it.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
