SID: Hello, I’m here with Keith Miller. Keith was raised in a non-Christian, a nothing home. He had no foundation and no interest in Jesus. He found himself married and his wife critically ill. He’s driving his car. He thinks he’s alone, but he’s not. What happened?
KEITH: Well, I started praying because we had received bad news from my wife and that she had a disease that could not be cured. There was no cure for it. And at that time, I mean, my wife and my boys were the most important thing to me.
SID: So, why did you pray?
KEITH: You know, it’s kind of crazy. I didn’t know, really, a reason why, I just knew to pray, and I just said a simple prayer. I just went, “Hey God, how about healing my wife?”
SID: That’s simple?
KEITH: Yeah. But what happened next was amazing because I heard audibly, “Okay. I will.” And just…
SID: I bet you were scared.
KEITH: I actually slammed on the brakes, pulled over on the side of the highway, jumped out of my pickup, and looked around and went… I had an extended cab… I wanted to see if somebody was in the back. Nobody there, I was shaking, got back in, and then I heard this statement, “But where am I the rest of the time in your life?” And at that point, I just began to see my life, how hurt and bitter and empty I was, and then just began to cry and hadn’t cried in years and cried all the way home. Got home, called my wife, she was already at the doctor to go in for treatments. Called her at the doctor, got her on the phone. I say, “Babe, what’s going on?” She said, “You’re not going to believe it. They said it was a mistake. I’m just fine.” And so I right there hung up the phone, fell down on my knees, and said, “Okay, Jesus, I don’t know how to do this thing, but if you’re real, here I am. I give you my life.” And I got born again.
SID: …Shortly thereafter you got a little bit more.
KEITH: I did. I opened up the scripture, and one of the things I read about was somebody named Holy Spirit.
SID: Now, when you ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit, did you have any experience?
KEITH: I did. It was amazing. And it was so awesome. I didn’t raise my voice. I just talked in a soft whisper for three weeks after that, because it was such a profound encounter. I didn’t want to lose what I had received.
SID: So, in 1994.,.you’re minding your own business, watching television, and you saw something that really attracted you.
KEITH: I did, because during that time when I received the Holy Spirit, I had reoccurring visions, and one of the things, I kept seeing myself as praying for the sick. And I didn’t have any thing for that. I mean, I just saw myself praying for the sick. And these were just from the early days of when I’m raw, first born again. And so, several years passed and I had not seen that, and so I’m watching TV and I see this little boy. I’ll never forget, because this little boy said “They made fun of me at school. They laughed at me because I couldn’t run. But look, God just healed me,” and he went running across a platform and the mom was crying, the dad was crying, the minister was crying, and I was crying. I was going, “That’s what I want, right there, Lord.”
SID: And then shortly thereafter, you found yourself in the back of a church, and you had a God encounter.
KEITH: I did. It was amazing. I actually said, “Lord, I come for an impartation. I want the anointing.” And I had said, “I’m tired of people coming to the altar and leaving the same way they came. We see people respond, but they leave the same way they come. Something’s got to change. You promise us power in Acts 1:8. I want that power, precious Lord.” And all of a sudden I felt, first of all, somebody touched the back of my neck. I said, “What?” And I turned around, but I was in the last row. There was nobody behind me. So, I immediately closed my eyes, and all of a sudden, it just like a drenching of oil came upon me. And I knew the Lord had granted me the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
