8
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.039
At the end of the day, it's not about what
9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.399
you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what
10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.000
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,
11
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.600
who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.
12
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.640

Beati, welcome to the show. Well, thank you, it's good
16
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.119
to be here. Doctor doug Hey, I appreciate it. Now,
17
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.520
where are you from? Where are you living? And then Birmingham, Alabama?
18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.799
So that's the Southeastern US for our outside of the US,
19
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.159
like you people.
20
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.920
Okay, Yeah, it's it's fun. It's fun to be traveling
21
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:12.799
and do all those things.
22
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:14.239
So I'd love for you.
23
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.719
You have an interesting journey and background, and I'd love
24
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.879
for you to share with the audience that background and
25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.000
that journey that you yeah, that brought you to this point.
26
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:31.719
So the interesting part is I didn't realize this was
27
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.719
all that interesting until you know, sometimes you don't realize
28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.879
the important steps in life until you look backwards and
29
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.519
realize how formulative they were. So I was born into
30
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.680
a line of seven generations of medical doctors, and so
31
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:50.640
one after another for almost two hundred years, and they
32
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.920
all became like general surgeons in the early years. But
33
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.400
my dad was a critical care physician. He was a
34
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.719
vascular surgeon, so when the crowded artery burst or got clogged,
35
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.480
it was critical and I thought I was going to
36
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.760
go into medicine. But I started to really think long
37
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.240
and hard about it and decided that the life my
38
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.759
dad lived wasn't a life I wanted. He was average
39
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.039
eighty hours a week. So I ended up going into business.
40
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.199
I've been a business owner doing marketing for the last
41
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.879
thirty plus years. And then, as we're talking a little
42
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.680
bit more with our story, about nine years ago, I
43
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.840
got this really urge in hard to pursue trying to
44
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.520
bring healing to people. And it wasn't until later that
45
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.520
I realized, you know, that's the same thing my family
46
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.919
line has been doing for years. They were doing it
47
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.199
through medicine, and now I'm doing it through spiritual loves
48
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.439
and prayer and getting actually more significant results than most
49
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.240
of them were getting. So it's really kind of a
50
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.560
cold story, but it started over two hundred years ago
51
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.120
with some lineage that made me this direction.
52
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.680
Wow, and as you talk about what is that background
53
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.560
that bring about the prayer concept of how to heal, well.
54
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.360
It actually happened. I don't know if you've ever experienced this,
55
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.080
but like when I met my wife, I knew by
56
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.800
the second date I was going to marry here. In fact,
57
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.479
I actually told her on the second date, I'm going
58
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.319
to marry you someday. And sometimes we come across things
59
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.120
in life that when something hits us, it just there's
60
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.280
something that resonates deep inside your being that says this
61
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.400
is it. And that's what happened with me. It was
62
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.639
about nine years ago. I was watching a video on
63
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.800
Netflix and it was almost like a reality show. I
64
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.919
mean it won't have scripted but just some guy going
65
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.240
along with a video camera walking along with different people
66
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.120
at different times, and they're just out in the public
67
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.159
markets place praying for people. And when they pray, you
68
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.280
would see that whatever they were praying for got healed.
69
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:51.840
If they're limping, they no longer limped. If they're in
70
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.919
a wheelchair, they diet, get up and no longer need
71
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.240
a wheelchair and things that sort. And it really gripped me,
72
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.360
and it gripped me more than I really realize how
73
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.800
powerful it was. But it was like I couldn't get
74
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.039
enough of watching that, and it was a trilogy set
75
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.719
of videos and I just ate them up, and something
76
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.000
deep inside my heart said, I want this, And you know,
77
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.120
it's like I've always desire to help people. You know,
78
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.199
if you come from a line of medical doctors, then
79
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.680
their whole focus is to help people because that's their
80
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.279
heart's desire. And this was kind of awakened, this desire
81
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.240
to move into healing. But I wasn't in medicine, but
82
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.639
I saw this happening through prayer, and so I started
83
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.319
to pursue it. I remember, so I came from a
84
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.120
legalistic church background, and they it's legalistic means eye for
85
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.759
an eye, tooth for tooth. If you've got bad things
86
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.040
going on, then it's your fault, right, you know. And
87
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.680
the other part of the legalistic is we whenever my
88
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.879
church would pray for anyone, they would always say, Lord,
89
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.439
please heal this person, if it be your will. You know,
90
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.879
twenty year old with cancer, Please tell this person, if
91
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.160
it be your will, And our understanding was it may
92
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.519
be God's will that you'd be sick. And so with
93
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.560
that as the background, what startled me so much as
94
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.040
I watch these people being healed on the videos was
95
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.519
everyone was being healed, or at least every clip that
96
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.600
they were showing. There were probably people that weren't getting
97
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.040
hell right. But it startled me because I always thought
98
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.040
that maybe God's will was for certain people to be
99
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.839
sick or be injured and stay that way. But what
100
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.040
I was watching was different, and when this deep desire
101
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.199
of mind was bubbling up in my heart to say,
102
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.920
I want that. One thing I did learn from my
103
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.680
church or during my time at church, was that if
104
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.079
you're going to pray and ask God to do something,
105
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.759
you had to pray by faith, which means you had
106
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.360
to believe that He was going to do it. And
107
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.160
I didn't believe that God was wanting to heal people.
108
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.079
So this was the biggest challenge that I had moving
109
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.240
into this timeframe, is does God really want people to
110
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.279
be healed? Because my church, it was a big megachurch
111
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:17.000
with a great reputation for biblical accuracy, I guess you
112
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.240
could call it that, and yet they didn't believe that
113
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.519
it was God's will to heal. I mean, maybe, but
114
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.680
sometimes his will was for someone to be sick. So
115
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.439
I ended up spending six months just for me studying
116
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.199
the Bible, but more than anything else, studying these scriptures
117
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:38.199
on who God is, and finally came to the conclusion
118
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.879
that it looks like it was God's will to heal
119
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.879
consistently and that he never turned anyone away that came
120
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.480
to him for healing, at least in the scriptures of Jesus.
121
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.839
So six months later, and it was October of twenty sixteen.
122
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.000
I remember because I was on a weekend convention trip,
123
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.600
and I decided that Saturday, at a lunch break, you know,
124
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.920
I think it's time I'm just going to go out
125
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.079
and try to pray for people. So I went out
126
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.360
to the grocery stores, went out to gas stations, and
127
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.040
went out to Walmart, and just found anyone that looked
128
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.680
like they were in pain, and I started prayed for them,
129
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:18.240
and six out of eighteen, so one third, were instantly held.
130
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.480
I mean crazy things like you've been in the medical world,
131
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.480
like RSD. Are you familiar with what RSD is? Okay?
132
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.199
I didn't know either. So this lady I walked up
133
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.759
to her in Walmart and she had on a white
134
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.759
blouse and a black compression sleeve on her arm. And
135
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.160
I understood enough about compression sleeves. It must be something painful.
136
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.199
So I said, hey, can I pray for you? You
137
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.720
look like you're in pain. She said, you can pray,
138
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.600
but don't touch me. Don't touch it it hurts. I
139
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.480
have RSD, and I thought, oh, okay, Like I wasn't
140
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.680
going to tell her. I had no clue what RSD was.
141
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.480
I find out later. Well, first I finished the story,
142
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.720
so I prayed for her, and all of the pain
143
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.480
instantly left. I mean, now she was touching her arm,
144
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.399
she would let me touch it, no pain anywhere. I
145
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.720
didn't think much about it because I didn't know what
146
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.879
RSD was. I get back home and I tell Dad, Hey, Dad,
147
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.920
I prayed for this lady with RSD. And the pain
148
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:19.120
instantly left. What is RSD? And he said RSD is
149
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:24.000
a neurological disease that causes significant pain. The only way
150
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.800
to control it is with prescription painkillers. That it's incurable.
151
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.159
If that left, that was a miracle, I remember, dad
152
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.600
to this day. Yeah. And so I started just to
153
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:40.519
pray for people, seeing things like degenerative discs go away.
154
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.080
Usually it was pain related, and for a while it
155
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.679
was about one out of three people that would be healed.
156
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.320
And then within about a year, as I was praying,
157
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.240
about nine out of ten people were being healed. And
158
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.000
I started to see things that you know, like glaucoma
159
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.720
and hernia's. And I remember this one day, she just
160
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.559
had a knee replacement surgery. This was Saturday. She had
161
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.559
it on Monday, so about five days earlier. And I
162
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.960
don't know if you've ever had like major surgery need replacement,
163
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.200
but it was extremely painful, all swollen, she couldn't stand
164
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.480
on it. She was at Walmart writing when the little
165
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.360
scooters for a handicap. So I prayed for her and said,
166
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.799
well check it out. She gets up, she walks around,
167
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.919
have her do deep knee bends, no pain. We connect
168
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.600
like a year or so later and say, hey, whatever
169
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.799
happened to that knee? She said out never had any
170
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.320
pain ever since. I mean just little things like that
171
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.039
that would just like blow your mind. But that got
172
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.120
me started on this journey that we're on the call
173
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.519
today for WOW.
174
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.039
And that's fascinating, and you know what's interesting to me?
175
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.559
And I want to I want to preface this because
176
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.840
obviously the audience that's listening to this, many will be Christian,
177
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.159
many will be of different religions, whether it's Islam or
178
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.960
Buddha or yes, you know, Jewish or whatever that happened
179
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:00.360
to be.
180
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.039
Are are you?
181
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:02.639
Are you?
182
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:03.080
Are you?
183
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.679
We limited in an anality to do that based on
184
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:07.879
a religious belief.
185
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.120
Well, so let me let me let me fast track
186
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.080
real quickly to come back to answer your question. Three
187
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.440
years ago, I lost my gift of healing. So I
188
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.720
pray for people and nothing really happens anymore, and I
189
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.240
was asking God, so now, you know, so let's let's
190
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.200
talk about different religions and even agnostic or atheist. What
191
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.279
I'm what I'm doing now that I wrote a book
192
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.679
about called The Prayer of Freedom, is I did? I
193
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.879
discovered some spiritual laws they are at play, and these
194
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.200
laws work regardless of your belief system. See for me,
195
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.120
when I was praying, I believe that it was a
196
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:49.679
gift from God. And every religion has their own person
197
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.639
of God, and it's all the same God. Right, whether
198
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.360
you're Muslim, whether you're Hindu, Well, you got lots of
199
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.159
guys if you're Hindu. But usually I think there's like
200
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.080
a main one if you're a Christian or Jew, or
201
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:04.120
you just know that there's some being out there. He
202
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.159
goes by any name that you want to call him.
203
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:11.960
So what happened is when I started praying for people
204
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.600
and I lost it. You know, I'd go out and
205
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.519
pray for people, a nine out of ten would be healed,
206
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.840
and then one out of ten or less. I asked him,
207
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.039
said what happened? He said, I took your gift away.
208
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.240
I said why because he said, now I want you
209
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.480
to understand. I want you to learn how to do
210
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.240
it through He used the word authority, and I understood
211
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.320
based on some other things I was happening during those
212
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.360
years what that meant. But what I started to do
213
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.159
is I started to realize that most of the sicknesses
214
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.000
and issues that we have in our lives have a
215
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.600
spiritual route somewhere at the base of it. We see
216
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.000
this in all religions. Most religions believe that if you're
217
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.279
a good person, good things will happen to you. If
218
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.879
you're a bad person, bad things will happen. And it's
219
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.639
personified if that's the right word in karma, which you know,
220
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.639
part of Hindu religion, and karma says if you do
221
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.159
bad things, bad things will happen. If you do good things,
222
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.639
good things will happen. And what's interesting, doctor Doug, is
223
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.480
we see this in life, and we see this correlation,
224
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.960
but we've never been able to pinpoint it and specifically
225
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.320
utilize it to bring healing. And that's what I started
226
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.159
to do. I started to test, you know, as a scientist,
227
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.879
because medical doctors many years back, we're all scientists. As
228
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.919
a marketer, you're testing everything. So I just brought that
229
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:37.039
scientific testing modality into this and I started testing different
230
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.840
things and in a very short time, without me praying
231
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:45.159
at all, but just leading that person a process how
232
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.720
to pray, I started to see the same numbers be
233
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.440
instantly or relatively instantly healed, which is about ninety percent.
234
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.840
I started teaching at an addiction recovery center. Do you
235
00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.960
know anything about addicts? Do you know any drug addicts,
236
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.080
for alcoholics or.
237
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.399
Anything like that. Yeah, I have a good friend that
238
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.440
was and is no longer.
239
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:09.799
Praise the Lord, Yes, praise God right? Whoever read that
