SID: Now, someone that I had the privilege of interviewing that’s now in heaven is Norvel Hayes. Norvel Hayes was known for miracles and he was known to have such power over the demonic for deliverance. Now, Elaine, you were soloist for him. You are a teacher. Tell me one or two quick nuggets he told you about the demonic world.
ELAINE: He always taught us, Sid, to have a voice of authority. You’re not afraid of the devil. You’re not afraid of –
SID: You know what? I hear that in your voice.
ELAINE: Oh yes.
SID: I hear it.
ELAINE: Yes, you do. Because he said, “If you act like you’re afraid or if you seem to be afraid, they will not obey you. And if you really are not connected, I mean, really know God, they know that you don’t know God. And they will not obey you unless you really know Jesus.” So he said, “Be not afraid. Do not have any worry at all if the devil’s going to go, because when you as a woman of God, Elaine, speak to them, they have to obey you. There’s no choice.”
SID: Now, how did you start in the deliverance ministry?
ELAINE: Just as you said when I was 27 and God asked me to preach and I didn’t want to do that. I was invited. It was just like God had it all planned out. I didn’t have anywhere to preach. I was a singer, but this Aglow group asked me to come. And I went. And as I was preaching that day on power and authority in the name of Jesus, there was a man stepped through the back door of the convention center.
And when he did, I saw an x-ray, just like a doctor’s x-ray and one was inflated and one was deflated. So the Lord, I shook my head, I’m not used to this kind of stuff.
SID: You have no para….
ELAINE: No, I thought my goodness, what’s going on with me? And so the room was filled with women and up comes this man, and I saw this x-ray. So I said, “Lord, what am I seeing?” He said, “If you will call him to the front, I will heal his lung.” And so I said, “Sir, this may sound funny to you. Please come to the front.” And he came to the front and I wanted some witnesses. So I called the president of the club, of the glow group and the all the secretary and treasurer. I said, “Ladies, God has just given me an x-ray, and this man’s going to get a new lung.” And all of a sudden they felt the wind blow into his chest. He raised both hands and they said, “I can breathe, I can breathe.” He said, “I only had one lung.” He was totally healed before our eyes.
SID: All right, I’ve got a question for you. What is going on with this young girl that doesn’t even want to be a speaker. To you, when that went on, what was going on? What emotions?
ELAINE: I just was in awe because I’d seen so many miracles and I had sought God. Not that I just wanted the miracle, but I wanted the closeness of the Lord.
SID: I want to take you back to your, in your mother’s womb. She’s pregnant. Six months pregnant. There was a prophecy over you. What was it?
ELAINE: Yes. My mother was sitting in the audience and a prophet of God came in and he said, “Ladies, stand up.” She stood up. He said, “The baby you’re carrying is going to sing and minister to multitudes.” And my mom, when I was born, usually a little baby will say da-da, mama. But my mother wouldn’t allow me to say that. She said, “No, no.” She showed me how she’d say, “I wouldn’t let you. I’d say no. Jesus. Jesus.” Because she had this word.
SID: Was that the first word you learned?
ELAINE: The very first that came out of my mouth was Jesus.
SID: One of the keys that God has shown you, and you know what, here’s the sad thing though. A lot of people that know this key and they’ve put it on a shelf and there are many that just don’t know anything about this key. It’s speaking an unknown tongue, supernatural languages. Give me one good reason why it’s important for me or for others to pray in tongues.
ELAINE: First Corinthians 14:2. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speak of not unto man, but unto God, for no man understandeth him. How be it in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
I want you to know the mysteries. So I started speaking in tongues five minutes a day. The next thing I know, miracles are happening. I’m singing before 10,000 a night. Things are changing and the Lord reminded me, I called you in, Jeremiah 1:5, before you were in your mother’s womb. I wrote the days of your book or your plans in a book. And so the mysteries are not for God. God knows everything. The Holy Spirit knows everything. Who are the mysteries for? The mysteries are what’s written in the book for my life.
SID: And unless it’s spoken out loud, it doesn’t manifest on earth.
ELAINE: No. And when you’re praying in tongues, you’re praying the perfect will of God.
SID: Elaine spoke in fundamental Baptist church and every one started speaking in tongues because the glory cloud showed up. Be right back.
