Sid: My guest Judy Jacobs most of you have seen her on television and you recognize her as an anointed worship leader. But I have found out that God has gifted her in many areas and we’re going to explore it this week. Judy, I want to take you back to, well your childhood, well you’re the baby of 12 children and at 8 I understand you walked down a saw dust camp meeting trail and got saved. Now that’s a long time ago; do you have any remembrance of that day?
Judy: You know what, it seems like yesterday. I will never forget walking down that sawdust trail and that camp meeting long long time ago. I was a baby of 12; my sister who is year and couple of months older than I am she had gotten saved earlier in the week because my house was a stopover for missionaries and pastors and preachers because we lived on a farm and my mom loved to cook. She had a beautiful garden so she loved to cook and she loved to entertain especially pastors and missionaries that was her favorite. And so whenever they would come into town they would make their way to my Mom’s house because she would always cook these humungous meals for them. So my sister had given her heart to the Lord earlier that week and believe me I saw a difference in her life because she didn’t beat up on me as much anymore. (Laughing) Praise God, but I saw the difference in her and I thought “I want what she’s got.” I will never forget the preacher got up that night because I was determined I said “I’m going to church tonight and I’m already saved; I’m going to give my heart to God tonight.” And I kept waiting for the invitation; he never preached to sinners he preached to the church. And so when he go to the altar call he said “If you’re here and you want to receive the Lord or if you have a need come on down and we’re going to pray with you.” Well, I looked at my mom and I said “Mom, would you go down with me I want Jesus to come into my life.” We walked down that middle aisle of that Camp Meeting floor and I felt like all of the eyes were on me. But listen Sid, I will never forget how it felt; I will never forget and I know it’s was not always a feeling but as an 8 year old child I was overcome with my emotions. I will never forget that day, that night and I have never ever lost that feeling; I don’t want to ever get over my commitment of giving God my life. I don’t ever want to get over that feeling; I want to always remember what it was like when my sins were taken away. Even as an 8 year old I don’t ever want to get over it.
Sid: But now a lot of people wouldn’t even think this about you but you were super shy. You loved to sing but then when you would sing you would so shy you would break down crying. But at age 12 you were filled with the Spirit of God and everything changed. But you know a lot of people are filled with the Spirit of God but you were really filled. Explain what happened.
Judy: (Laughing) When I was 12 years old I got baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit and I mean it was powerful and it was real Sid. I remember them picking me up as a 12 year old; putting me in the car; I remember my mom getting me ready for bed.
Sid: Why did she have to do that?
Judy: Because I couldn’t walk.
Sid: Now did you just feel so good or you really could not walk?
Judy: No, no, no I could not walk; the glory of God… every time I’d get up and try to walk I would just fall down. And so you know; and of course the culture that I grew up in and the church that I grew up in was a very powerful church and that was my culture; I was in church all of my life. And so it was no big deal for the…
Sid: Now how long did you pray in tongues?
Judy: Three days, 3 days I couldn’t hardly eat, I couldn’t hardly sleep and I spoke in tongues. People would talk to me and I couldn’t talk; I could only talk in tongues.
Sid: Now were you a little afraid that you lost such control that you remember?
Judy: I had seen the power of God move on people’s lives before. My mom was like that; whenever she received the baptism she went for like a week she couldn’t talk. And so I had witnessed that in my mother, in my sisters, people in my church and you know I was around that all of my life Sid; I was surrounded by the glory of God and I was seeking the Lord; that was my whole entire life. My mom grounding us in prayer, my dad showing us how to pray. My dad would get up 3 or 4:00 in the morning brother to pray. I guess he thought that he had to cover all of his kids so he had to get up early in the morning.
Sid: (Laughing) Well he had a big family, 12. (Laughing)
Judy: He had to get up and start early. (Laughing) And so I was around that with the power of God. When the people would start shouting; I mean like shouting shouting their hair would pop like whips in those holiness days you know. That’s what I grew up in and so I was a very much accustomed to the power of God so I wasn’t afraid of it; this was a part of my life; this was a part of who I was; this was a part of my culture.
Sid: Well now I understand how you pack such a presence of God your heritage but you also paid a price. Now one of the songs you’re known for which I’ll never get tired of hearing “No God like Jehovah.” Do you remember the first time that you sang that?
Judy: I do. Jim Cernero, who is the minister there with Benny Hinn ministries for so many years; Jamie my husband told Jim about this song and he’s like I think Pastor Benny would really like this song and it’s very prophetic about the coming of the Lord. I’m telling you the place went unglued the power of God came. Pastor Benny said “Sing it again!”
Sid: You know I can just picture; I can just picture Pastor Benny saying that. Well, I say “Sing it again. No God Like Jehovah.”
Judy: No God Like Jehovah excerpt
Sid: Now Judy I’m very excited about your new book “You’re Anointed For This.” You share what you’ve learned over a lifetime the secrets about the personal anointing that you have and how everyone everyone had a personal anointing and how it involves their end-time assignment. One of the things that I like about your book is it’s not just teaching, but then you have very anointed prayer for the people and how to step by step walk into their anointing. You point out how anointing’s change.
