Tommy ODell

Sid: I have Tommy O’Dell on the telephone I’m talking to him at his office at Tulsa, Oklahoma by way of telephone. Tommy’s grandfather many of you have heard of T.L. Osborn.  And T.L. he’s not as well-known as a lot of people that have been on television a lot because he’s invested with the down and outers in the third world countries.  And Tommy how many people and conservatively would you say your granddad has led to the Lord?

Tommy:  Oh it’s impossible. I mean Elizabeth and I have seen millions and he’s been going for sixty years.  I’ve been going for twenty-five so he’s seen I guess tens of millions pray to receive Jesus and we’re talking about face to face.  He’s had campaigns where the attendance of the campaign by the end was 500,000 people just a sea of people that you can’t even find the end of.

Sid: It’s hard to believe you could even have a speaker that people could hear him with that many people

Tommy:  Well, you take those crazy old horn speakers and just take them as far and bury them as far into the crowd as you can.

Sid: Well, you know all about that because what’s the most you have ever had at a meeting?

Tommy: The largest crowd that we’ve ever seen is 150,000 a night. So by the end of it there’s a lot more than 150,000 that came in one attendance.  

Sid: I want you to take a few minutes and I want you to speak the way you might be speaking to people in Ghana.  Just a few minutes build our faith and at that precise moment I want you to pray for a release of miracles. Just before you do that why should someone get a hold of your grandfather’s book that was out of print that was going back that had such an impact on your life called “Proof of God’s Love?”

Tommy:  It changed my life, I read the book, I actually had supernatural manifestation of the power that knocked me to the ground and filled me with a current like electricity. The message of that book was life changing; it’ll fill you with a confidence that God can use you to experience the supernatural.  You know everything God does to you He wants to do through you; that’s the mystery of the gospel “Christ in you the hope of glory.”

Sid: And your grandfather brings that out in such a beautiful fashion. I mean I knew this but just reading it just thrusts me into a new point….We’re calling it a Genesis 12:3 love gift, God promises “I God will bless those who bless the Jewish people.” And my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Jewish people to know the Messiah, that’s the purpose of this entire ministry is so that the Jew can get saved to link arms with the Gentile Christians and become One New Man to reach the world.  Tommy why are people going to be healed at this moment right now?

Tommy:  Because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever; the way that He was in Bible days; when he opened the eyes of blind Bartimaeus who cried out as Jesus was passing he cried out Jesus was passing out he cried out, “Jesus Son of David have mercy on me.”  All those around Bartimaeus told him, old man He doesn’t have time for you shut up.”  But he kept crying even louder he said “Jesus Son of David, have mercy on me.” And then Jesus stopped and said “Bring him to me.”  Immediately Bartimaeus did something very significant he stood up and threw off his shawl that defined him as a blind man.  In Bible days the blind would wear a specific kind of shawl like today maybe a blind man would wear dark glasses. He threw that off because he believed he was going to be healed.  And they brought him to Jesus, “What do you want me to do for you,” you have to ask in faith like Bartimaeus did.  The man responded to Jesus “Lord I want to see.”  Jesus smiled and said, “Receive sight your faith has saved you.”  He could see everything and he rejoiced.  I’ve seen those kind of miracles all around the world for 25 years.  I was recently in Brazil with my son Jesse, there was a man there probably about 55 years old and totally blind.  He came to that darkness but when we prayed in the Name of Jesus, the same Jesus that healed blind Bartimaeus who has never changed who is not dead but has risen from the dead who bore our sickness and pain on the cross of Calvary.  Now listen, if He bore our pain we don’t have to bare them, it he bore our sins why did He do that.  He did it because so we could be forgiven, if he bore our sickness why did He do that?  The Bible says He bore them, the same verb exactly.  He bore them so that so that we could be healed.  So that man believed that when the power of God came on him instantly his eyes were opened, he wept for joy and shouted for joy.  There was a young man also, this was recently when I was in Paula, Brazil there was a young man who was born with one leg a good deal shorter than the other leg and it left him crippled.  He always had to hobble and hop on that leg which was five inches shorter than the other.  But the power of God went through him in the Name of Jesus, think about this, if He’s not risen from the dead our faith is useless He can’t heal anybody. If He’s risen from the dead, that proves that the gospel is true; it really has come to that issue, is He risen or is He not risen?  If Jesus is risen He’s done something that no founder of any major religion has ever done come back from the dead to prove that what He preaches is true.  The reason that we pray and see miracles is because Jesus is indeed risen from the dead.  If he was not risen, prayer in His Name would not do anything.  But in His Name we can command spirits of infirmity to go, we can command sicknesses to die and they’ll die, we can demand blind eyes to open and they will.  A young man believed in the name of Jesus.  Faith is the key, if you believe the Bible says “All things are possible to you.”  And I’m going to pray for you in just a minute because I believe that your faith level is high right now.  This young man believed and the power went through his leg and instantly his leg grew out normal and oh he shouted “Look at me! This leg is healed this proves that Jesus is risen from the dead.”  There was a man in one of our campaigns blinded by a spitting cobra, he was walking in the jungle a cobra reared up in his path and spit in his eyes and by the time he made it home he was totally blind; fifteen years totally blind. They took him to a specialist a surgeon performed surgery and they didn’t help him at all.  But when they led him by the hand to the campaign we prayed in the Name of Jesus.  The Name of Jesus of the risen One who died for our sins, who bore our curse, who came to this world to reveal the nature of the living God.  You know people all around the world they don’t know what God is like, they worship gods who have the heads of beasts.

Sid: Tommy there is such a presence of God I tell you Mishpochah the healing anointing is flowing I believe that if you pray right now that anyone that reaches out into that flow is going to be healed.

Tommy:  Brothers and sisters lift your hands right now and say “My hands.”

Sid: My hands.”

Tommy: Are the hands of a believer.

Sid: Are the hands of a believer.

Tommy:  The Bible says.

Sid: The Bible says.

Tommy:  Believers shall lay hands on the sick.

Sid: Believers shall lay hands on the sick.

Tommy:  And they shall recover.

Sid: And they shall recover.

Tommy:  Now right hand lay your hand where ever you suffer, if it’s blindness on your eyes, ears, what your legs or your back.  A tumor, cancer, it just matter to me, just put it on your heart.  I’m praying for you right now.  In the name of Jesus I come in faith, I extend my faith into the spirit realm, and I come right now against every sickness, every disease, every spirit of infirmity, every work of the enemy.  Blindness, cancer, deafness, epilepsy, AIDs, heart disease, diabetes, every sickness and every disease that I didn’t mention I command it in the name of Jesus to be eradicated to go from you right now in Jesus Name.  Father God I pray that Your healing fire that the same fire that poured through my body when I was delivered from drug addiction would flow through the bodies of these believers.  Flow through them Lord, let your healing flow through their arms and legs, their eyes, their ears.  Heal them now Lord Jesus touch them right where they are; let Your healing power take away their pains. Thank You Jesus that by Your stripes they are healed. Your word says “Whatever we ask in faith you will do it when we ask in the Name of Jesus.”  Now I command your body to be made whole, your eyes to see clearly. Open up your eyes to see, open up your eyes now look in faith at what you couldn’t focus on.  Hear in Jesus Name; stop up your good ear and hear with the one that was deaf.  If you couldn’t move your hand move it now, if your leg was stiff extend your leg now and extend your knee, bend your back, feel that tumor, exam yourself. In the Name of Jesus I command the body to be made whole.

Sid: There is such a presence of God. Now you either caught a healing or many of you caught a miracle; many of you caught miracles.  That’s an instant healing some of you are catching a gradual healing,  if you will hold on to the word of God tenaciously; I like the way Tommy you talk about it it’s a surrender to the devils’ lies or you surrender to the words of God that are forever.  One is forever, the other is temporary.  I’m taking the temporary; You see He sent His word and healed you it’s called win or win.
