JOAN: I’ve never heard of you. I’ve done catering here for 50 years or 40 years or 30 years and I’ve never heard of you! And I said, “Nobody else has either!”
Audience: [laughter]
JOAN: “And that’s perfectly alright.” He said, “Do you do catering all over?” I said, “Well, I’ve started here. Did you like that?” He said, “Yes, I loved that.” He said, “Would you cater for us?” “Yes, absolutely, I would cater for you!” One of Æem was named Mrs. Layman. She was about 92 years old and Mr. Firestone decided he was going to give her a going away party. I thought she was going to Honolulu, Hawaii. No, they expect her to die in a few months.
Audience: Mmm.
JOAN: So they wanted to say goodbye! [laughs] Well she didn’t die in a few months. I took her a long, long time!
Audience: [laughter]
JOAN: And we got to share Jesus and it was absolutely unbelievably – now how could God almighty and why would He take me out of this little Italian family? Food was scarce many times. Little or no education. And I’ve been around the world! I still do not have a bank account! [laughs]
Audience: [laughter]
JOAN: I still don’t have any more education and here we are together on the Sid Roth program and it’s beaming the Gospel around the world!
Audience: [clapping] Whooo! Wooo!
JOAN: And somebody listening to our voice is going to get healed!
Audience: Whooo! Whooo! [clapping]
JOAN: Going to get saved! Hallelujah! From today’s program, we will hear, we will hear testimonies from all over the world saying “I was sick. I was deaf. I could only read her lips.”
Audience: Whooo! Glory! Amen!
JOAN: I could not hear. I could not walk. So you know what, Sid? I would like for you too if the girls can, or the guys can record these next few after this program comes on the air and let’s see what the testimonies are. Let’s see! I am an Italian woman from St. Louis, Missouri with no money! No education! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! And look at us now! We’re going around the world!
Audience: [clapping]
JOAN: And you’re going with me cause everybody’s going to see your face too! [singing] “Oh, nothing is impossible, when you put your trust in God!” How many days did I hear that? How many years did I listen to that voice? And one day I got, real sick. One day the doctors told my husband and I that I wouldn’t live. And I was to spend the rest of my days happy and delightful and not cry and make the bed whenever you can and make his meal whenever. But God turned that around! God turned that around! And there were weeks and months that I could not get out of bed and I could not stand on my own and I could not see on my own. I could not do on my own. Do you know God had put me together with the neatest husband in the whole wide world? And do you know what just happened not five minutes – I guess it was maybe two minutes before I walked in here? You’ll never guess! You’ll never guess! My husband was in love with a lady named Linda. Absolutely. And I was Linda’s best friend so I knew Frank because of that. Oh my gosh, he would come to me and he would say, “How am I going to get her to go out with me? What am I going to do? How am I going to do this? I love her! I’m in love with her! I’m not going to live if she doesn’t love me back!” Well, I tried to talk to Linda and I tried to talk to him and guess who got him?
Audience: [laughter]
JOAN: [laughs]
Audience: [clapping]
JOAN: And you’re never going to guess what just happened! As I was walking out of the dressing room into here I got a phone call and I thought “Oh, it’s probably Frank. I’d better – hi.” She said, “Joan? You’re not going to remember me probably. But I’m Linda Marx.”
Audience: [laughter]
JOAN: Can you believe! Can you believe! This is the Supernatural program, right?
Audience: [clapping and laughter]
JOAN: I said “Linda! Oh my gosh! Linda! I can’t wait to tell Frank! Oh, I can’t wait to tell him.”
Audience: [laughter]
