Viewers should consult a subject matter professional regarding any such matters.0:58 Perry Stone is with us again from his lovely studio over in Tennessee. How are you, sir?1:04 Well, right now, I look like I'm in the heavens. You know? I've got a beautiful backdrop behind me. But, thank you for having me on. My voice is a little raspy. We just got back from 6 services with a partners meeting in1:16 Texas. And, Texas is doing pretty well right now with the the moving of the holy spirit and the word going forth in that state. And I know that where you're from as well that God is continuing1:27 to, you know, pour out his spirit and do what he promised, the church, the body of Christ for the last days. But thank you for having me on. And I'd you asked me if there were some questions that I had that you would
1:39 like to ask me, and I told you, you just ask whatever you feel is on your heart or and and and I guess the sky's is the limit. You know? We're just we're ready to share with whatever the lord puts on you.
1:51 Well, I know that, and I know the last time we had you on, we talked a lot about your growing up and how you got in the ministry, what, you know, family and all that. And so we invite people you know, they can go back
2:01 and watch and learn all that. What I wanted to talk to you today about was a couple of things. 1st of all, is obviously 1 of the most popular topics that we have on any episode of the podcast is about the end times,
2:13 things with the rapture. Yes. You know, obviously, Armageddon. We wanna talk a little bit about that. But you you have been really experiencing in meetings and specifically some really miraculously,
2:25 obvious healing moments. And so talk a little bit about what you've been seeing in in some of these meetings. I know there's a big team meeting coming up in October that people could come to. So Yes. Talk to our viewers
2:36 about that. Anniversary of ministry. Yeah. 50 years of ministry, in October. Let me say this that my father, Fred Stone, came up and was called to preach during the healing revival. Brother Roberts, I
2:48 think, began in 19 48. Dad's ministry was right about 19 49. He was converted to the Lord in a revival that went on 3.5 years every night in 2 different churches
3:00 in McDowell County, West Virginia. And dad, of course, followed brother Robert's ministry, Thea Jones, another minister that was a dynamic healing ministry in his day, and
3:12 he read their books. And T. L. Osborne was 1 of his favorite individuals. And he read a book called T. L. Osborne, about miracles. And he fasted 3 days, and dad saw his 1st
3:23 miracle as a single young teenage preacher where a man that had a blind eye was instantly healed in a small church in Kentucky. And from that moment on, god gave him the gift.
3:35 Now my dad passed away and went to be with the lord at age 78. Dad told me, he said, there'll come a time, son, if you'll pray and seek the lord, although you focus on prophecy and god has given you that
3:47 gift, you will begin to see at the time of the end and the time of the end being, of course, the time prior to the return of the lord. We do not know when that is, how long that will be, how long this great revival god
3:59 is sending will send will last as far as until that event of the what we call the rapture. But he said you're going to start seeing miracles 1 day. And we have seen in our lifetime, miss Thacker
4:11 from Pulaski, Virginia who the doctors had lasered in her her her an a tumor. They were working on a getting a tumor on the edge of her eye. He took her optic nerve out, which you cannot replace the optic
4:23 nerve. And in Pulaski, Virginia, November of 19 81, the old timers still remember it. We prayed for her, and God restored her optic nerve and healed her. That was that was the greatest miracle I think I ever saw. In
4:34 that same church, just a few years ago, a girl that had a disease that affected her eyes, her name was Pamela. I I I went to youth camp with her when we were just kids. I think it was like 1 in
4:46 100000000 people come down with this, and she was completely blind. I stood in the lobby, about 2 foot away from her and just stared at her, and she just looked off in the distance. She couldn't even see me.
4:58 3 nights later on a Sunday night in the same church, again, a few years ago, god gave me a vision of someone being healed in a blue dress, and that wasn't even her dress she had on. I saw this on a
5:10 Friday. And Sunday night, when I told the vision, she didn't wear a dress because I told the vision. She just showed up in a blue dress that she borrowed from somebody. She didn't even know what color she had on.
5:22 Her mother had to tell her there's a beautiful blue oh, yeah. I remember that dress. And, I'd had the vision on Friday when make a long story short, totally blind. God completely healed her. We have seen from time to
5:34 time what we call the gifts of healing and working of miracles, which are a part of my heritage of my past. My uncle Rufus Dunford had a brain tumor in 19 33, had 0.333
5:46 grade education, was healed while going in the in the backyard in a little garden that the family had and getting potatoes for for dinner. And he told me in 19
5:57 76 that a wind came out of nowhere, overwhelmed him, laid him on his back, healed him of the brain tumor completely in 19 33, and gave him the gift of diverse tongues. Now I'd never met
6:09 anyone that had this gift to this level. He could go up to people in Warr, West Virginia, Beckley, Bartley, West Virginia, that entire the Coalfield area of the 19 forties and fifties
6:21 and and actually in the sixties, and he could talk to people in 7 different languages fluently. He could speak the language, carry on a conversation. My dad was with him when he did this,
6:33 and he could speak Greek. He could speak Latin. He could speak, several well, I don't wanna go into all the languages because if dad were here, he could name them exactly, but there were 7. And he prayed for me
6:45 before he died. I was 18 years of age, and he asked god to give me that anointing. And so my point is we come from a rich heritage of men who believed in all 9 gifts of the spirit,
6:57 men who operated from time to time if I were to take 50 years of their ministry at 1 time or another in all 9 gifts of the spirit. And so recently, I'm I'm at age 67 now. I have felt this is
7:09 amazing. I'm beginning to feel the the holy spirit on me right now just talking about this. But I had began to see an operation of the holy spirit in a level that we saw in the earlier days of our ministry.
7:21 And the Lord began to share with me. He said, Perry, you allowed the cares of ministry, not the cares of life, but the cares of ministry, which is the writing the books, doing the study Bible that took 7 years to
7:33 complete, the magazine, and I do all of that. I personally do that myself because I want it to be the the the voice of the lord and the words I've heard. And now that we have
7:44 completed all of this outreach, we still write books. We have another 1 coming out, soon. We still do this, but I concentrate on messages and books now, print primarily. But every day, I'm spending
7:56 time totally with the lord, and that has changed things. And I wanna encourage any minister watching me to understand this fact. Everything you're dealing with right now is changeable through prayer,
8:08 but it cannot be a god bless my meal, lay me down to sleep 1 minute of speaking to the to the lord. It has to be at least an hour a day
8:20 of separation and intercession if you want to carry the anointing that your predecessors had and you want to see the gifts stirred up. The point and I know I'm answering a brief question
8:32 rather long, but I wanna make some points to the ministers and the body of Christ as we go along. So recently, we have seen, and even my office manager, Charlie, travels with me.
8:44 A lot of times, my wife is able to go as well to the meetings, but they have said, Perry, something happened and shifted just a few months ago because we're having very heavy words of knowledge come
8:56 forth that we know nothing about the person. We know nothing they've been through, and we can look at them by the spirit and tell them the details. But then, here's the point. The word of knowledge by itself
9:08 is a good thing, but the word of knowledge is for the purpose of solving a so a problem for someone. It is to reveal coming danger. Here's danger. Prepare for this. Here is
9:19 this. Do this. It is it is a word of knowledge always has connected with an act or an action, where when you hear it, you must respond to it or you must act upon it.
9:32 And so we've seen this happen, and we had a man the other night, and this was so beautiful. For 3 weeks, he had had a headache that he thought he had a brain tumor. And he went to the doctors, and they said, we we don't
9:43 know what's wrong with you. You definitely have a problem. And on Friday night, as the word of knowledge came forth, he was instantly I mean, I don't mean 5 minutes. It took 10 minutes. Instantly healed. And for 3
9:55 days, he, you know, he was a security guy. He was walking around with me. He was stunned. He was, like, in awe. He said, this is absolutely amazing. I know God heals. I know God answers prayer before it to happen this
10:07 quick. Yeah. You know? And isn't it isn't it amazing, like, they're praying for Peter in the book of Acts to come out of jail? Peter gets out of jail, knocks on the door, and they don't believe it's really him. They
10:17 believe it's his angels. So why why is it that we do have faith? We do. You do. We all do. That that God will answer, but when he answers, we're like in shock. It's just amazing to us sometimes.
10:29 But the gifts the gifts of the spirit, the true gifts, not the hokey pokey, you know, crazy stuff that a few people have got caught caught up in. I'm talking about the real Pentecostal
10:42 charismatic gifts that our forefathers saw have never changed. All God is looking for is time with him, fasting and prayer, and the gift it's not that the gifts are restored because they've
10:54 never been lost. It is they are not being used. They're not being coveted. They're not being tapped into the way Paul taught. But God is going to do this because God wants his name glorified.
11:06 And you know as well as I do brother that now with social media and videos that people are are just attacking ministers and preachers and teachers and churches and that does not edify
11:18 anybody, that does not build up the body of Christ, that does not glorify the name of the lord. It's just an attack to get people to watch what they're putting out. And
11:30 it is time for the body of Christ to get real with god, to get alone with God, and come out of our prayer closet with the power and the anointing of the holy spirit so that
11:41 after we preach, God will confirm his word as the Bible says with signs and wonders and miracles. And we have a generation of young people coming up. Many of them love the Lord.
11:53 The ones we do, we know love the Lord. They love the Lord. My daughter, 25 years of age, my son is 36, love Jesus and they are hungry to see a God that is real, that
12:05 will work, and will confirm his word. And that's why so many young people today in this generation are into the occult, the supernatural, the witchcraft, the new age is because they they there's manifestations that
12:17 are in that false religion. There is no truth in it. It's all fake. It's all false. But they because of the manifestation or the feeling they get, they're attracted to it. We've got to get the feeling,
12:29 I'm gonna call it the quickening of the spirit back in our churches, back in our ministries, back in the preaching of God's word to where men and women will know that when they leave
12:40 church, they can say, like Jacob said, the Lord was here but I knew it not. Jacob had a visitation said, wow, God was here and I didn't know I was about to walk into the ladder of heaven.
12:53 I had no clue. I I had a dream, but I didn't know. Man, the lord was in this place. And I want people to leave churches saying, the lord was in this place. Hallelujah. Amen.
13:04 So I wanna ask you because I think that, you know, 1 of the things that I sometimes see from different people, they'll ask about, well, like you said, the gifts have never gone away. They're just not being utilized or
13:14 we're seeing maybe a propensity by some churches to to kind of, you know, step aside from that a little bit. We know that signs and wonders were a sign to the unbeliever. You know, Jesus that's
13:26 how Jesus
13:27 would That's right.
13:28 Show people who he was.
13:29 Sure. That's
13:30 right. Do you think that in this age we're in where we're seeing such a a rise of, like you said, things with, you know, young people being in the occult, we're also seeing a a a real rise in false
13:42 religion, specifically 1 from the middle part of, the the world. And Yeah. We're seeing it here in the United States, marches, all of that. The
Reviving the Gifts Through Prayer
13:54 signs and wonders of these miraculous miraculous events, do you feel like that is part of god's plan to say, look. There's only 1 true God, and it's
14:05 Jehovah. Yeah.
14:08 Well, I had a friend of mine many years ago that was challenged by an an actual church of Satan to come to a house in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at midnight, and he he was a former boxer. He was a bold
14:19 man, but he said when I got in that taxi to drop me off, I thought, E. L. Terry, you've lost your mind. And when they got in the room, they said, we're gonna make this table levitate. No strings. He said, look around.
14:30 There's no strings. Well, he started binding it in his mind, and they could do nothing. They were powerless. And this was the head of in Milwaukee, the satanic group. And so he said he said, I'm an
14:42 idiot for coming here. I shouldn't even be in this place. You all are a bunch of devil worshipers and you're worshiping a loser, but I'm gonna stand and pray and God's gonna come down. He start standing up and praying
14:52 and praying in the holy spirit. The table went up into the air, almost to the ceiling, flipped upside down and came down right in the middle of the people. And they were screaming and scattering. And I said,
15:04 Eel, what did you do? He said, I got out and went went out there as fast as I can. And the miracle was, this is before the days of cell phones, there were no pay phones in the area, and he thought, God, they're gonna
15:15 kill me. How am I gonna get out of here? So he's in the street, it's dark, and here comes the car. The car slows down. It's the taxi that let him off. And he said, sir, how did you know to pick me up? And he said, well,
15:26 we got your call that, if to this address to come and get you. He said, I never called you. Well, the taxi driver was mad because he thought he was gonna fuss at him for picking him up and not pay him. And they went back
15:37 to the place where the taxi headquarters was and they had no record of that call coming there and them calling that man. So 2 miracles happened. He demonstrated God's power and then God
15:49 supernaturally picked him back up, took him back where he needed to be. That is what I'm telling you this generation in the body of Christ has to pray and seek
16:01 God and see the power of God come. Now we have to understand something, that there's always been and I get I get amused maybe cessationist or,
16:12 people that do not believe the gifts are are active today and they blame everything. Let me say let me let me reword that. They claim that every manifestation in a charismatic Pentecostal
16:24 church has to be demonic. I'd like to ask those ministers, why is it that you want to give Satan glory for having power and God no credit
16:36 because he has none. And how in the world do we give Satan all of this? Oh, Satan speaks in tongues and Satan can perform a miracle and Satan can on all of that. Yes.
16:49 Janus and Janbrez produced a fake a a snake that was real, but Moses' rod swallowed their snake. And what we need to understand is there's so much unbelief that has
17:01 been propagated into nominations by theologians, by YouTubers, by social media, by extreme, cessationist who all they do and you can see I I
17:12 never click on anybody that attacks a minister friend I know. I will go to those 3 little dots down there and hit it and say, do not recommend this channel. I am not listening to foolishness, nonsense,
17:24 and defilement of my spirit of things that are fake. I mean, the other day, I'm looking and it comes up as a feed 20 bodies found in Perry Stone's office. I said, hey, Pam, that's my wife, come in here.
17:36 Have you seen those bodies? I didn't know there was any. Then I saw another 1 that I was supposed to be put in jail and handcuffed. Never happened. Trust me. Never happened. Never has happened. A traffic
17:48 ticket's the biggest thing I've ever got. Never been in trouble with the law. But these are people that lie. They make up stories. They put fake people out there to get you to click and get attention and get a few It's
17:59 it's clickbait. Pennies from it. It's total clickbait. Don't ignore that. You defy your spirit, you kill your faith, you become full of unbelief toward people who are anointed of God and I'm
18:11 a tell I feel the holy ghost right now and I wanna tell somebody something. When you begin to your children begin to see you take all these different men, some are word of faith, some are Pentecostal, some are
18:22 charismatic, some are spirit filled Baptist men and you see these cessationists attacking attacking attacking, you click on, you're talking about it in front of your kids and grandkids. The lord spoke to me and said, you
18:34 need to warn parents and grandparents that they are opening the door for their children to be lost. They are turning their children away from the very people that in the future
18:46 their children would listen to and come to the knowledge of salvation, faith, and the holy spirit. And, oh, it stirred me up. I'd I was so grieved in my spirit to realize, years
18:58 ago I was preaching. And this this particular grandparents were not of the denomination that I was preaching in. They had a young grandson, he was about 16, that was depressed.
19:10 And they asked a friend of his said, well, you talk to him. I said, I'd be glad to. Tell him to come and meet me at the church. That young man, 16, went to his grandparents and said, I'm gonna meet Perry Stone. Oh, you
19:21 can't do that. He doesn't believe like us. We're not gonna let you go there and talk to him. You know what he did the next that night? He committed suicide and killed himself. He was so depressed that he felt a little
19:33 bit of hope that someone might be able to talk to him and his belligerent, unbelieving grandparents are responsible and have the blood on their hands of their own grandson because they didn't
19:45 agree with the theology of Perry Stone. And I'm telling you, parents, grandparents, listen to this Tennessee preacher. Stop stop defiling your spirit.
19:57 Stop defiling it with people who have vain imaginations, with men and women who are do nothing but attack, attack, attack and these people don't even believe like you believe, they don't believe in the power of God, they
20:08 don't believe in the holy spirit, they glorify the name of Satan by giving Satan credit for doing all these works and God is powerless with his hands tied that can do nothing and they limit the holy
20:20 1 of Israel which in Psalm 78 is considered a sin in the scripture and I wanna tell you get away from that, get back in the word of God, get back on your knees in prayer and start start telling
20:32 your children and grandchildren God is real and we're gonna go to some meetings and we're gonna go to some places where he has the freedom to do I feel something in my spirit. Brother, I feel like I could lay hands on
20:43 you right now if you were here. I feel some I do. I feel so much of the presence of the Lord. Because I think that the church needs a self correction, the body of Christ needs a self correction
20:55 to refocus away from the nonsense that is out there all globally. You know, YouTube has and I'm not picking on YouTube because there are some good things on there, but it has 16000000000
21:07 videos and it has uninfluences. By the way, that is not a 5 fold ministry listed in the book of Ephesians. It is not. Influencer. Okay. It's not there. It's not even in the Bible. Okay? Your
21:19 influencing should be with the gospel and that is it. Okay? Yes. I'm on my hobby horse right now in case you didn't know it. But I want to tell people, we have to have miracles. There are too many people with cancer
21:30 in the body of Christ. There are too many people with sicknesses in the body of Christ. There are too many saints of God, good people that are battling oppression and they're battling depression and it's the
21:42 spiritual atmosphere that we're in in the nation. Lord, if you watch the secular news every night, you'd wanna you know, you'd wanna knock yourself in the head and just knock yourself out for about a year and wake up
21:54 later because all they have is depression, all they have is fear, all they have is fear mongering to draw you in to their their their system, to draw
22:06 you in as a follower of them. I'm saying it's time that whatsoever things are just and holy and pure and righteous and those things that build you up and edify you. It's time to get into those things
22:18 and pour that word of God into your spirit so that you will have joy, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And the enemy is trying to steal those 3 things from us and sometimes
22:30 we're allowing him to do it. So I'm I'm just you can tell I'm fired up. I've been preaching a lot lately, and I'm I'm I'm just fired up as new evangelists.
22:38 What you Hallelujah. Talking about prayer and and getting with the lord and not just doing, you know, a little bless me, bless my 4 no more kind of prayer is Yeah. If you're I feel like
22:50 and I I felt convicted this myself. I've I've all but completely quit watching the news. I feel like if you're watching the news
22:58 Honestly, I have too. Yes. Yes.
22:59 And you're spending a ton of time on social media, and it is more than you're spending in prayer and the word, then you are following right into, I believe, a trap that the enemy to get you just
23:11 distracted with the cares of life.
23:13 Yep. Can I tell you what it is? It's idolatry in a different form. It's not a metal or wooden object that you stare at for 30 minutes and meditate on.
23:25 It is an actual screen with chips in it that mesmerizes you for hours and consumes you for hours. I know of people who I have been
23:37 told will spend all day. They don't work they don't work a regular job. 6 to 8 hours a day on the Internet. Now, folks, what would happen to you if you'd say, I'm shutting everything
23:48 down. I'm going to a lake house. I'm going to on a when in a camper and I'm gonna sit out there and I'm gonna pray till I get in the spirit of prayer. John said, I was in the spirit on the lord's day
24:00 and God revealed the whole book of revelation to him. What would happen? And sometimes, I will get in the spirit of prayer and I have learned. I used to my office knows this. When my door is shut because in
24:12 my office, my brother works in my office, my sister is my assistant, Charlie Ellis has been with me 36 years, but they know. I will tell them, do not pick up my phone and say, do not bother me for the next 2 hours. And
24:23 they know, don't come up. I mean, if somebody has an accident, come and tell me we'll go to the accident. But if there's not an absolute emergency, you leave me alone because if I get in the spirit of
24:35 prayer, I do not wanna be distracted. And we and I know we've got, you know, kids have soccer, football, basketball, baseball, cheerleading, music. It is a different time. Both parents are
24:47 now working. But folks, there comes a time and let me tell you something. Well, I can't make the time. Yes. You can make the time. Shut off social media, shut off everything and just say, you know what, I
24:59 wanna clear my mind on a Saturday for it. You can do it on a Saturday. Do it on a Sunday afternoon. Y'all leave me alone. I gotta have 2 hours with just me and the Lord. You'll be shocked at how God will purge the junk
25:11 out of your spirit. He will purge your mind by the washing of the water of the word. He will quicken your spirit by the quickening power of the Holy Ghost. Mhmm. And you'll come out you'll come out of there like my
25:21 mentor T. L. Lowry used to do. He'd say, where is that devil? He'd he'd say, I I wanna grab 1 by this by the neck and another 1 by the neck and I wanna crack their skulls together.
25:33 He'd come out of prayer and fasting for a 40 day fasting. He wanted to he wanted to pray for everybody in the building. That's the kind of fire and zeal Well that we need back in the in the in the body of Christ. We
25:45 really do. We need that so desperately right now.
25:47 Well, in in you're right because when you spend time with the lord, when you spend time with Jesus, you you can't not be changed.
25:56 Well and, yeah, let me let me tell you quick about a minute, a story about me. When I was, about 17, 18 years of age, I came across a book that changed my life. It was the book on the covenant by Kenneth Hagin. I didn't
26:07 know that we had a covenant with God. I thought we were just sinners saved going to heaven 1 day. So that 1 book really changed my life. But here's what happened. I became I I don't remember what caused this, but I
26:18 became enamored with demonic spirits. Who were they? How do they work? So at age 18, I began to have, honestly, really weird demonic manifestations that went on for
26:30 months. Not not every every week or every night, but it got to be once a week, twice a week, voices, seeing things in hoods, not dreams. I'm talking about seeing them and it really troubled me. So I went to
26:42 my other mentor, reverend Floyd Lahahn, who I mean, he had he he he God healed him when someone laid a Bible on him. So when he prayed with people, his entire ministry, he would use a bible.
26:54 He would just touch people with the bible. He had great results throughout his ministry. Anyway and Floyd looked at me and he said, Perry that's how he talked. He said, Perry, listen to me.
27:06 He said, your mama wants me to talk to you because my mom was his secretary at a church office. You're spending too much time talking about demons. And here's what he told me. He
27:18 said, if you talk about the devil, he'll show up. But if you talk about Jesus, that's how he said it. But if you talk about Jesus, he'll show up. And then I thought about
27:30 that and that's when, at age 18, I decided to study at least 6 to 8 hours, sometimes 10 hours a day every day, pray, prepare messages, and preach. And that's when our
27:41 revivals went 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 8 weeks, 11 weeks, every night over here on the East Coast. Some of the greatest revivals with hundreds saved and filled with the holy spirit. Tennessee, Tennessee, La Follette,
27:53 Tennessee, Pulaski, Virginia. I'm talking hundreds. Entire towns being moved. You know, we had 1 1 with Jensen a few few years ago. Thousands were saved and filled with the holy spirit. Florence, Kentucky, 7 Hills
28:04 Church, the same thing happened in about, with 4 services on Sunday and we went through Friday. Overflow crowds packed to capacity, young people on the platform. God still does this. He
28:16 still sends revival where people are hungry. He still performs miracles. The gifts are still active. We have to want them. Yeah. Paul said it this way, covet earnestly the best
28:27 gifts. And that that word covet to Christians has a negative connotations because we're not to covet, but it's it is it is better rendered have a strong desire for the best gift.
28:39 And the best gift is what is needed at that moment. If someone is sick, you need the gifts of healing. If someone needs an answer to prayer, you may need the gift of working of miracles, but they all come through the
28:51 holy spirit. We have to get back. Here's the point. We're either gonna have churches where we go on a Sunday morning for 1 hour, have the music, 25 minute message, clap our hands, and
29:03 go home. I'll see you next week. Some people are happy with that. Too many are happy with that. Or Yeah. We're going to say, we're gonna come to God's house, and we're gonna have the old the old timers used to
29:15 say we're gonna have church, and we're gonna have a move of the holy spirit. We're gonna have a move to where we're gonna pray with people. We're gonna we're gonna see people saved. We're gonna see them filled with the
29:25 spirit. We're gonna see your needs met. And I wanna tell you and I wanna say this as an evangelist that has watched entire towns, small towns, where the entire town that seemed like was coming out to the meeting. And I'm
29:36 talking about the revivals that we've had for the past 50 years or so. I will tell you that that you might think that the holy spirit will scare people away or you might think the spiritual manifestations, they
29:48 don't understand them so we don't want them. They don't understand them because they haven't seen them. That you know, the Bible says tongues are assigned to the unbeliever. If you're not gonna allow the holy spirit toShow more
