SID: So my friend, young kid, is traveling with William Freeman. He’s seeing miracles. Cancer, you can’t even stand in this man’s presence. So he said, I’m going to do the same thing, “I’m going to seek God.” And you spent hours seeking God and what happened?
DON: The initial action of bowing on my knees, praying after hours, nothing seen was happening. And I got up and sat on the altar, opened my Bible to Philippians, Chapter 2, where the Bible says, “God has highly exalted Jesus and given him the name above every name in Heaven, Earth and Hell.” And I, the revelation of the power of Jesus’ name became awesome to me. And it was the greatest name of things in Heaven and Earth and under the earth, and I was just ready and primed to meet someone who could fill that category.
SID: In other words, what happened is God was beginning to show him that he didn’t need a visitation from an angel. He just needed to believe God’s Word. So he began believing God’s Word. And you pray for a nine-year-old boy who had a brain tumor.
DON: Right. Yes, this happened in Joplin, Missouri, where Grandma Davis called me. She said, “I know you have been with Brother Freeman and I believe you can come and pray for my grandson. He’s coming this weekend. He’ll be with us and all his father is bringing in. And we want you to come and pray for this boy. He’s given up to die, no hope.” And it was just like a fire in my belly. I had to go and minister to that boy, to use His authority that I received in this revelation. And I laid my hands on the boy, cursed the brain tumor in Jesus’ name and commanded it to depart. There was no obvious or immediate change by any appearance. But when the parents took their son back to the Barnes Hospital in St. Louis for a new examination, they found out that the brain tumors were all gone. And that was a testimony that stood the test of time, for the boy grew up and became a father and it was a wonderful result. Well that was just the beginning of my ministering.
SID: Tell me about the man…. Now get this, he prayed for a man that had his kneecap removed. Tell me about him.
DON: Yes. His name, he came up in the prayer line, hobbling, and I asked him, “What do you want?” He said he want to be prayed for. And I said, “What’s your name?” He said, “Lucky Metz.” And I said, “Lucky, you haven’t been very lucky, have you?” And he explained to me, 22 years before he had been in an accident and his kneecap had to be removed surgically. For 22 years, he had no kneecap. And so I said, “Well the first thing to take care of, are you a born-again Christian?” And he said, “No, I’m not.” And I said, “I’d like to encourage you to receive Jesus.” I said, “You can go to Heaven without a kneecap, but you can never enter there without a relationship to Jesus Christ.” And he responded. And I led him a sinners prayer and he received Christ by faith. And I said, “Now the same Lord who has saved your soul has been your great physician.” So I laid hands upon that place where the kneecap had been and in Jesus’ name spoke what I call a creative miracle in his name, the wonderful name of Jesus. And when he lifted up his left leg he had a new kneecap…totally created a kneecap.
SID: Now that is normal. That is what it’s supposed to be. Now Don, do you believe that anyone that understands the Word of God in reference to healing can do the same things that you do?
DON: I think anyone who will have confidence in the authority of Jesus’ name, just like Peter and John did at the gate, and the scripture says, “In his name, through faith, in his name has made this man strong whom you see and know. Yea the faith which is by him has given this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” If anyone will embrace the six specific scriptures in John 14, 15, 16, where Jesus gave authority for us to speak his name, and thank God, that name itself is the great healer and the device of God, as it were, to minister miracles. And he said these signs shall follow, not just the apostles or the preachers, the evangelists, but these signs shall follow the believers. In my name they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” And I’ve seen that demonstrated many times for years over and over, thousands of times, I’m sure over the span of all these years. But any believer who will simply take the authority. And the disciples prayed when they met together, “Lord, grant to us your service that with all boldness we make speak your word by stretching forth to heal and the signs and wonders may be done in Jesus’ name.” What an awesome prayer I prayed almost every day of my life since that time the revelation came. And what was the result of that? The Bible says that, “When they had prayed they were filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak the Word of God with boldness.” That is what I believe any person who will let the Lord give them that holy boldness and dare to speak the name of Jesus with authority. It’s the authority of his name is what brings the healings and miracles.
SID: What caused you to realize this truth? Something, it exploded in you. You believe that more than anything else. What caused that belief in you?
DON: It was just the working of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the great teacher of the body, and I embraced that truth and it just burned in my spirit now. I’ve gone to India 24 times, as well as God has sent me to 56 nations. And every nation I’ve gone it’s been the same result. I always prepare my heart by the Word of God in the name of Jesus. And I know that when I step out and minister to the masses of people, usually the crowds are tens of thousands in India, and in the mass crowds impossible to lay hands on them all. So I simply speak the authority of Jesus’ name. I mean, it’s with such confidence. It’s his name above every name.
SID: You know the authority of the name of Jesus is not only so you can pray for other people, but it’s also so you can be totally whole. And God spoke to me that, two things. Number one, when we come back I’m going to have Don Gossett pray a prayer of faith for you. You’ve never heard a prayer of faith like he’s going to pray for you, and you’re going to be healed. But he also told me the second thing that many of you that have pains in your bones, arthritis, any type of pain in your bones throughout your whole body, the healing river of Jesus is moving on you right now.
