SID: You know, Julie was telling me the great Jewish historian Josephus had a commentary about David, and we always hear about him playing the harp and it soothed Saul. But what did Josephus say?
JULIE: He said David most likely also sang over Saul, the Torah or any Hebrew Scriptures that he would have had at the time.
SID: Now, you have told me about a woman that fascinates me. Her name is Eli. Maybe we can show a before picture of Eli right now. Tell that story.
JULIE: This is Eli Rose and this was, I don’t know, five, six, seven years ago. And Eli ran, was homeless since the age of 12, was sex trafficked, ran with one of the hardest groups in L.A. And she was getting ready to end her life. And as God would have it, she came to Santa Maria, California to literally say goodbye to her family. They brought her to the healing rooms, Apostolic Center in Santa Maria, and during worship, the Lord gave Rick Taylor, he’s the director, a word of knowledge saying, “Someone wants to take their life.” He got up during worship and he said, “Someone is here and you’re thinking of taking your life.” And he said, “Please don’t. Please don’t. The Lord has already started to heal you.” And the people that brought her were saying, “That’s you! That’s you!” That night, Eli Rose gave her life to the Lord and she had already been to the doctor. She had full blown AIDS. She had a very bad heart. They already said, you’re not able to have children. Just because of drug use she was in and out of prison. And she gave her life to the Lord. She, literally, she went into a year of treatment, but she said every day she sang and rapped the Bible, specifically the Psalms. And then I met her a little after that and we began to sing the Scripture. And we have an after picture because she credits singing the scriptures with her healing, with her healing.
SID: She doesn’t look like the same person.
JULIE: She doesn’t. She doesn’t. And she credits singing the Word every single day with her healing. And let me tell you this. They took her back to the doctors and they have all the doctoral information. She has no sign of HIV. She was totally healed of HIV. She has a heart that is like a youth and she is married with a little girl named Kennedy.
SID: You told me she couldn’t have a child.
JULIE: I know. But this is the power of singing the Word. This is the key. It’s not about, oh, but I don’t know how to make up a melody. You don’t have to. It’s the power of that singing. [singing] You can sing on the same note. [talking] It’s just that tool called song that we need to keep in our tool belt, and every person can have the healing that Eli Rose had.
SID: Now why is it that when we sing the scriptures, actually when we sing anything, science tells us we retain the melody, we retain the words like [singing] A, B, C, D, E, F, G. [talking] You know the song, melody and they learn the alphabet easier. Why is it from a scientific viewpoint we remember the scriptures better, we remember the melodies and then we get deep, deep revelation of the scriptures when we sing them. What does science tell us?
JULIE: What it’s telling us it’s because your brain is actually functioning as one. And when we sing there’s actually endorphins in our body that are actually released, the same ones that were released if we’re working out. And they’re actually using medical studies now and they’re finding that if people will sing that they actually can be healed of depression. Medical science is actually, in some hospitals, they’re giving people the option. Like you can have a drug for minor surgery or we will give you these headphones and you can listen to music. And they’re finding that the people that listen and meditated on the music, their bodies responded better to minor surgery.
SID: How much greater if it’s the scriptures when you are singing. Wow. Tell me quickly, the deaf person.
JULIE: Well actually, I was with Chuck Pierce and I gave my whole teaching on singing the scriptures. And a guy came up and he started releasing a tongue, and I didn’t think much about it. And then another person came up and I realized that it was the deaf community were coming up. And Chuck Pierce said, “Do you realize what is happening? Singing the scriptures, the deaf community, now they want to release their sound.” And then another lady came up on stage and she said, the first guy that came up, they had never done it before. It was just a month ago. And she said, “My husband was the first man that came up when he released his tongue.” And she said, “When he began to sing,” she said, “all of a sudden my ears started popping and I started hearing explosions in it, and then I can begin to hear.” And that’s when Chuck Pierce said, “Do you realize what is happening! The deaf community are releasing their sound and there’s healing being released.”
SID: What is going to happen when I turn you loose at the piano when we come back, and you sing, because I requested it and God confirmed it with you, Isaiah 53, about physical healing. What’s going to happen?
JULIE: Well people are going to healed.
SID: We’ll be right back.
