Meet Beatty Carmichael: The Man Behind the Prayer of Freedom

Keith Haney: 00:00:59

My guest today is BD Carmichael. He is the author of the book the Prayer of Freedom.

He actually has a way of praying for healing where God actually answers those prayers around 87% of the time.

While this process has seen God heal over 700 people, everything from relationship conflicts to all kinds of chronic pain, anxiety, glaucoma, and more, most people think that God doesn't answer prayers for healing because they've never seen him do it for them. But Beedy has found that with the right approach, God does it almost every time.

So if you struggle with relationship conflicts, chronic pain, migraines, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and more, you're in for a big treat with today's guest, Beedy as he shares the root causes of most of these issues and a simple four step approach to praying to get lasting freedom from them. Today we welcome him to the podcast. Well, Beedi, welcome to the podcast. How are you doing today?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:01:57

I am doing great. And how are you doing?

Keith Haney: 00:01:59

I'm phenomenal. It's great day. Sun's shining so not as hot as it was yesterday. So we're thankful for the beautiful weather.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:02:08

I love it.

Keith Haney: 00:02:09

So I'm going to ask you my favorite question and that is what's the best piece of advice you ever received?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:02:16

Best piece of advice I ever received. Now I can, I can tell a lot of good advices, but the best one is the, is the one probably.

I remember years back I was having some really difficult times in my business and I was coaching with a retired business owner and I felt at that time that I was not capable to really run a business well. And his comment was basically, you know, never, never underestimate yourself because from his perspective, he saw me as being really qualified.

He believed in me, he knew my family, he knew what I was capable of. And it was just kind of that advice that said, you know, don't discount yourself so quickly and believe in yourself.

And that was a real turning point for me.

Keith Haney: 00:03:11

I love that advice. That's really neat.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:03:14

Yeah.

Keith Haney: 00:03:16

I'm also curious as you think about your journey.

We've all had a interesting journey and there have been people who pop into, in and out of our lives along the way who are some people that served as a mentor or inspiration for you along your journey.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:03:29

You know, it's going to be real interesting because this journey I had several people along the way that led me to where we are today with the prayer freedom. But probably real integral. But man was a man named Frank Barker. He was our pastor for 40 years.

And, and I remember back Again, I had a lot of challenges in my business, and the Lord used it to teach me what faith was all about for things that were going to happen in the future. But I was struggling this. This one day, and I would take a day of prayer once a month out to just go spend time with the Lord.

And on this particular day, I was really challenged with what was happening. So I called Frank and he answered. And I was asking him. And background on Frank is he's very humble.

Mega Church grew 5,000 members and just a tremendous organization. I said, frank, did you ever, you know, did you intend to grow a huge church? He said, no.

He said, I just kept focusing on serving the Lord and whatever he wanted to do is fine with me. And it was so comforting, you know, just that, that you don't necessarily set the goal of where you want to be.

You faithfully serve the Lord and allow him to guide you where he wants you to be. And that was real instrumental in my life as I started to move into what I'll call the supernatural healing side of things.

My church, after his pastorate, we picked up another pastor. And the church is basically a cessationist church.

So what that generally means is God can do miraculous healing, but he doesn't do it because one person prayed for it. Okay? The supernatural gifts had ceased. And when God started to heal people through me, I realized later, oh, that was a gift of healing.

Because seeing 30 to 90% of people being healed, I went to my pastor. He knew nothing about. He said, well, you know, Satan can heal too, so it must be Satan. And so I've never met this man.

I mean, I've shaken his hand, but I don't know him. A guy named Bill Johnson out of Bethel Church in Washington. But he wrote a book that was tied to healing.

And during this time in my life, it was real important because God was started to heal people. But I didn't understand it.

My church said it stopped and I needed to go outside of the cocoon that my church denomination had built up that doesn't talk about any of these things and go to some place where this stuff is believed not to see what man said, but to see what scripture man is interpreting in hell.

And so going through his book, I then picked out those passages, went back to the Bible and started to read with a new set of eyes to say, no preconceived conditions on what this is supposed to say. Let me see what it says. And sure enough, it said that basically God's will was to heal and that he does it through his people.

And that was really a life changing moment for me because it helped start to bring some, some awareness and some understanding of what I was experiencing that my church rejected and that I had no background or foundation to understand. So those two people kind of stand out as very key pillars for me in my journey.

Keith Haney: 00:07:17

Wow, what a powerful story and testimony. So tell us a little bit about what led you to write the Prayer of Freedom.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:07:25

Well, to be honest, I didn't want to write it. I had to ask the Lord three times because I have a business I was trying to run and to write a book is a 100% commitment.

And so I asked him three separate times and each time his words were identical. He said, set my people free. So after three times I said, okay, abandon the business, don't focus on it and write the book.

But that's the end of the story. The beginning of the story leads up it was probably almost seven years in the making.

And so my church background, as I mentioned, very is legalistic cessationist. God places on my heart a desire to pray for people, for healing.

I didn't know what to do with that desire, but I realized that I couldn't pray for healing unless I knew it was God's will to heal. Because my church says, lord, please heal this person if it be your will, because you may have brought the sickness upon him to teach him something.

And I knew that to pray by faith, he had to have conviction and belief in your heart that that was what God wanted. Okay, so it took me six months to really understand the scriptures at a perspective of does God really want to heal people?

Before I could actually go out and faithfully try to pray for healing. And God made it easy on me because a lot of people who want to go out and pray for healing, I didn't want to go out to pray for healing.

It's like God put it in my heart that I had to go out and do it.

nths of study, it was October: 2016

God took me into deliverance and he started showing me the pattern that mostly that pretty much all the healings I was seeing through a gift of healing was a spiritual entity leaving that was causing that problem. Then he took away my gift and directed me to. To teach people how to pray using a pattern of authority that we find throughout the Bible.

And so progressively he led me down this path to uncovering what his Bible has been saying all along. But most people don't understand it. And so when he told me to set to write a book, I didn't want to because my.

My ministry that I was doing and praying for people and, and setting them free through God's gifting was a part time ministry. And God had different plans and he wanted me. Wanted to thrust me into a full time focus of this. And writing the book was the beginning stage of that.

So that's probably a longer story than a short answer. But that's how I came to write the book, to set his people free.

Because he'd been teaching me along the way what is the spiritual roots of sickness and issues in lives and how to release people from it so they can follow his pattern and get released.

Keith Haney: 00:11:00

So you mentioned that in my research about you that about 87% of the time people are healed through the prayer method. So what is the method that you've used to get such results?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:11:13

Yeah, and let me quantify that 87% because this is interesting and then I'll tell you that. So I teach as a volunteer at an addiction recovery center here in Birmingham. It's one of the largest ones in America. It houses 500 women.

It's a Christ focused recovery center called the Lovelady Center. And at the time I was writing the book, I was teaching three classes and I wanted to measure how effective this prayer was.

Because for me, when I'm guiding people through it and then I'm engaging with them and supporting prayer, I saw basically 100% success rate.

So I knew that I carry probably more authority in the spiritual realm than the average person, especially someone like in an addiction recovery center. Just because of my walk with the Lord has been longer and more intimate. So I wanted to measure how effective this was. So I created a list.

I call it an issue guide for your video folks.

I'm holding it up, but this is an example of one where a person would list all of the issues that they got going on in their lives and then they would grade it on a 0 to 10, 10 being worse before the prayer and then after going through this process. And these are issues like voices in their head.

Heaviness, bipolar disorder 1 and 2, depression, anxiety, arthritis in the back and arthritis in the hips and in the knees, Restless leg syndrome, copd, addiction to Drugs, pornography, sex, alcohol, things of that sort. So it was a complete list. And then they went through this process.

One of the things I mentioned is I identified a process and so the process is a worksheet in the back of the book. And I just gave them the worksheet and the prayer process and let them do it on their own.

87% of the women who went through that process saw everything on their list go to zero. That is the 87% success rate. There's a couple of few exceptions that they had one thing that did not go to zero, but it dropped by 2/3.

What I'm seeing, generally speaking, is probably 90% is a good. But 87% is what I was able to statistically measure.

And the process is this Scriptures as very clearly that there's a con, there's consequence for sin and there's restoration for repentance. We see this at a broad scale with God. Continue to tell Israel, repent and turn back to me, or you'll be destroyed. I will divorce you. He says.

And every issue that Israel had had to do with their unrepentant sin. But we see it more specifically to on individuals.

Deuteronomy: 28:58

So chronic illness, chronic pain, I'll bring on you all the disasters as well, and everything other things that are not even written in this book. So he's making very clear, if you sin against me, then these issues are going to happen to you individually.

If we fast forward to Psalm 32, this is after David had murdered Uriah. He'd committed adultery with Bathsheba, and the Lord was disciplining him. That's what he says in the NLT version of this.

The short paraphrase of Psalm 32 says, When I refuse to confess my sin done, God's hand of discipline was on me. My body wasted away, my bones ached, and I was without any strength or energy and couldn't even get out of my bed.

And then when I confessed, God restored me. As we move to the New Testament, John 5, we see the same pattern.

And this is the time when a lot of times as we read through the Scriptures, we come across this one item and we couldn't. And I never understood the significance of this. But this is the layman at The Pool of Bethesda. He's been lame for 38 years. And.

And in that lameness, he was unable to move himself to the pool. And Jesus says, well, just get up. Take up your bed and go home. Go walk. So he did. And Jesus finds him later that day in the temple.

And this is what he says. Go and sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you. So Jesus is tying his sickness and lameness directly to sin.

But then we say that, well, we're under the New Covenant. And in the New Covenant, I'm covered by Jesus's blood, all my sins are forgiven, everything's been restored. I'm born again.

And so these things were part of the Old Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant Law, but not the New Covenant Law, okay? And what they're missing is this isn't part of the Mosaic covenant or any covenants. This is a spiritual law that.

That is the foundation of all that God does. And it happens long before the Mosaic covenant. And we see this illustrated in 1st Corinthians 11.

Paul is correcting the Corinthian church for lots of sins.

And one of the sins happens during the time of the Lord's Supper Back then, unlike the way we do it today, we take a wafer and a little bit of juice or a little bit of wine. Back then, the Lord's supper is you would actually have a meal, okay?

And he was saying that the rich people were not discerning the body of Christ and they were creating disunity and division because the rich people brought all of their food and wine, and the poor people had nothing, and the rich people ate and feasted and got drunk and nothing for the poor people. And this is how Paul ends up this passage in First Corinthians 11.

He said, this is why some of you are weak, others are sick, and others of you have already died. He ties it directly to sin then. And this is now answering your question. I'm building that up because I wanted you to see this pattern.

James 5:14 through 16, speaking to believers in the New Covenant Church. And he says, if any of you are sick, let him call for the elders, and they will anoint you and pray over you. But this is how he ends it. James 5:16.

Confess your sins, and you shall be healed. So the whole process of what I'm doing is what I learned in deliverance. The way you cast a demon out of someone, the way I do it, did it.

I no longer do it. Because this. This is much more effective, is you would interrogate the demon, find out what's his legal right to be in that person.

And that legal right is 100% at the time, an unrepentant sin. You would get the person to repent of the sin, and then you can easily get the demon out. And that's the pattern that I started to see with this.

So the simple pattern of the prayer freedom is repenting of sins that God brings to your attention that could be the source of your issue.

And the work sheet that I do in the back of my book, like when I teach at the addiction recovery center, I find there are 18 different categories of where we have unrepentant sin. So I simply give them my.

A copy of my book and give them time to go through the worksheet and make a list of all the sins that God brings to their mind in each of those categories. And then there's a structured approach to how to pray and repent on that is either repenting or breaking or renouncing.

There's different things, so there's a. A process. But when they go through that, they're seeing their addictions disappear, Their mental illnesses disappear.

They're getting off their mental. Their psychiatric meds because of this, they're seeing allergies and sickness go. They're seeing chronic pain leave.

it calms down. Because James: 10:10

And the only way we have the abundant life is by following his primary command to repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And when we get rid of the darkness in our life by doing that, then the abundance starts to take over. I don't.

That was a long explanation, but hopefully that helps.

Keith Haney: 00:20:21

No, it does. And I know in our theology, we talk about the fact that, you know, sin does have consequences.

And you talked about that too, about when I would pray, we would do the same thing about, you know, if it's God's will, because we really don't know what God's desire is for every individual. And so I appreciate kind of tying in some of those. Those scriptures to. To the work that you do.

I am curious because it's not something that's a part of most of our churches, this idea of healing. And we've seen, I would say, healing gone wrong and a lot of televangelist stuff.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:20:58

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Keith Haney: 00:21:00

So as someone who's hearing this going, yeah, you know, I'm Skeptical. What do you. What do you say to the person who's going to. Yeah, you know, I've seen that guy get out of the wheelchair.

Then, you know, later on he was in the back driving his car to the meeting. Anyway, so how do you. How do you put that into perspective, what people have seen and what you're doing?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:21:21

Yeah. So to answer that question, I got to take you on a deeper journey into how this works spiritually. Can I do that?

Keith Haney: 00:21:30

Sure.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:21:31

Okay, great. I want to talk about demon deliverance for a moment. And what causes this. If you look through scripture, God's kingdom is built off of laws.

You see this? He's the judge. He sits on his throne. You see it in Hebrews 12 that he says that the whole gathering is in Mount Zion, okay?

And in Mount Zion, Mount Zion is the spiritual capital, God's kingdom, where Jerusalem is the physical capital of God's people. And it's the capital city where the laws are created and the laws are executed on. Okay? You. You see this pattern of legal ism within God's kingdom.

And this is especially true with Satan. So you see in j. In Job one, Satan comes to God at the gathering of the sons of God. And God is about to entice Satan. Watch this.

He says, so what do you think about my servant Job? He is a blameless and upright man. And Satan replies, well, he only loves you because you won't let me have him.

You put a hedge around him and won't let me touch him. But let me touch him and he'll curse you. Watch this. How in the world did God put a hedge around Job to protect him from Satan?

See, Satan wanted to attack Job, but Satan had no legal authority to attack him. Fast forward to Revelation 12. It says that Satan is the accuser of the brethren.

So if we look at this from a legal lens, the legal lens is that Satan is the attorney general of God's kingdom. He's the chief prosecutor. His only power is to prosecute and convict of sin. And if convict of sin, then he has authority.

Let's fast forward and let me share one more thing. So there's a lot of things going on here and I wanted direct you on it. So in the Old Testament, the way you got rid of sin is you sacrificed.

This is once a year, you have the atoning sacrifice for the nation. And you would sin and you would bring a sacrifice and blood was shed.

This is why Jesus, his blood is shed once eternally, forever, because it is always existing and it does away with our Sin, but there's still consequence of our sin in the earthly realm. My son, Beatty Jr. Came to Christ about age 5, about age 19 or 20. He is really deeply, intimately with the Lord.

And the Lord said, I wanted to show you something. Said, so God took my son into the heavenly courtroom.

And as my son starts to explain this situation, he said, up on the right, he saw God the Father as judge. On the daisy. On his left was a demon spirit. And that demon spirit was accusing my son of sins one after another after another, another.

I said, well, hold on, I understand that demons always lie. Were those real sins? And he said, oh, yes, every single one of them were 100. Correct. He said, demons lie to you and me. They don't lie to God.

And so what you, what he was having is that demon was a. An assistant prosecuting attorney accusing my son under the new covenant of sins that were not repented of.

And then the Lord told my son, plead the blood of Jesus. So my son said, father God, I plead the blood of Jesus. And instantly the demon disappeared.

In other words, we've heard the song, you know, Jesus blood washes away my sins, right? Well, what happens is when we plead the blood of Jesus, we're applying that over those individual sins.

So if we think in a human courtroom, we have multiple indictments that were prosecuted against, we have to defend against each one. What I'm saying in Scripture is that every sin that we do is a different indictment.

And so we have to repent for the sins individually, not to say Jesus, I repent of my sin now for salvation that works. I'm talking about getting rid of torments in the earthly realm. So by establishing.

So repentance for us is applying the blood of Jesus over those sins. No. Now let's go back to Job and finish this understanding of how this works. The reason Job had a hedge of protection around him.

This is where we get the term, you know, a hedge of protection. Most people say, I'm going to pray a hedge of protection over you. Technically, biblically, that's wrong.

You can petition a hedge of protection, but you can't simply just pray it out. The way you get a hedge of protection is you eliminate Satan's ability to accuse you of sin. The way you do that is by repenting.

What happened with Job? God says, have you considered my servant Job, who is blameless and upright? So, Keith, real quick question. If Job was blameless, what does that mean?

Keith Haney: 00:27:02

Well, some would, would say that he was. He was perfect. But we know that's not possible because none of us are possible. I mean perfect. The only one that was perfect was Jesus, right?

So it would have to be that he had no unrepentant sin, that.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:27:20

Bingo.

Keith Haney: 00:27:21

That he's. That he's could be accused of, right?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:27:24

So he had, so he had no sin to be accused of. It doesn't mean he never sinned, but.

Keith Haney: 00:27:30

It means that he's going to clarify. Yeah, right. He said he never had. He said just then he hadn't repented it. Right?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:27:36

And we see that in Job 1, verses 4 and 5, we see the pattern. It says that when his kids would have a birthday party, they invite everyone together.

And after the feast, Job would sacrifice on behalf of each of his children in case his children curse God in their heart. So if we know if Job is doing that for his children, he's doing it for him.

And because he is constantly repenting, sacrifice is the modern day version of repentance. Now this is my inference through scriptures, right? That if he's doing it for his children, I infer that he does it for himself.

And that is why he is blameless because his sin has been washed away temporarily with the blood of the lambs or whatever the animals are. But he's applying that on an ongoing basis. So then how we, how we answer the question about someone gets healed and then they're unhealed, right?

I actually, in my ministry, going out to Walmart, I actually put together a video. How do you stay healed after God heals you? Which sounds like a crazy thing, but it all makes sense when you understand these spiritual laws.

So now let me get to deliverance. So with deliverance, a demon spirit has to have a legal right to torment you. That legal right is always and sin an unrepented sin. Okay?

But that sin is, can be very overt. You say a curse and you curse yourself, an occult type of curse, or you commit adultery, or you do some sort of grave sin.

But it can also be in your thinking. So watch this. I was ministering to a 73 year old missionary.

She'd been on the mission field for 50 years and she was in a wheelchair, had been in a wheelchair for 11 years because of an excruciating pain in the ball of her right foot. And first attempt was gift of healing in Jesus name, pain. Get out. And it went from an eight to a zero.

She could get out of the wheelchair and walk around, no pain. Wow. First time in 11 years. This was a Saturday. She goes to church on Sunday. Everyone's praising Jesus, right?

Jesus healed her By Wednesday she was back in the wheelchair. I said, okay, this is a spirit.

Anytime someone has the, is healed and, and let me, for my doctor friends or my critic, my, like my, my church friends say, well, I want to see a doctor's, you know, diagnosis that they're healed. Let me define healing. All symptoms of the issue have disappeared.

Okay, so if she could not walk because there was pain and now she can walk because there's no pain, then something changed. I call that, that's my term for healing. So came back and I said, okay, this is a spirit, so now we have to change tactic.

And I got back on the phone with her, she was down in Orlando. And I said, I think this is a spirit. So let me ask you the basic questions on delivering people from a demon spirit.

Have you ever had sex outside of marriage? No. Do you have unforgiveness for anyone? No. Do. Have you ever played in the occult, Ouija board, seance, anything like that? No.

Have you ever taken secret O's? No. Have you ever done this and this, you know, and she was clean, nothing there. And then she said, God, just put on my mind.

I took the secret oath in High School, 50 some odd years earlier, she said, I was involved with a group called Rainbow Girls. And part of the initiation was, is you take a secret oath and Rainbow Girls is the, is the youth version of Eastern Star.

Eastern Star is a women's version of Freemasonry. And it's not that those organizations are bad or the people are bad, but the oaths that you take actually have, they have curse ability.

And because in things like one of the oaths, like a sacred CEO says, you know, if I reveal any of these secrets, then you can slit my throat, pluck out my eye, rip open my chest and pull out my beating heart. These are things that we say out loud and we think this is funny, but actually it is. It's very bad from God's perspective and it's an open door.

And so whatever was she said back then in high school, she repented of that. So I said, I think that's it. Let's try it. So I said, spirit, it was an eight. Again, in pain. I said, in Jesus name, get out. And it went down to three.

But it wouldn't budge. You know, it, it still had a right to be there. So then I led France Hill into a repentance prayer. Lord, I repent of taking oaths.

This oath with the secret society in high school, that was it. And so now spirit, get out and poof. It was gone. So now she's healed the second time. But watch this. This is the point I want to bring you into.

I'm texting her, how's it going? Three weeks later, she's back in the wheelchair. And I go, that doesn't make sense. So I go to the Lord and I say, God, what happened?

And the Lord said, something happened from the time the spirit left to the time that it came back that gave it a legal right to be there. And I said, what was it? And he didn't tell me, but he placed in my heart what I felt. I knew what was going on.

So I called Franchise back up and I said, franchil, I think I know what's going on, but let's test it out. Let's see if this is right. And I said, what's the pain level? It was back at an 8 or 10. So using my gift of healing, when I had it, God took it away.

But using the gift of healing at that time, I said, in Jesus name, Spirit of pain, get out now. And it went down to a three. And again, it wouldn't budge below a three.

And I said, franchise, what I think is going on is unbeknownst to you, you allowed this back in because you've been in a wheelchair for 11 years and you've created, most likely an identity of being in pain and being in a wheelchair. But God says that by his stripes you have been healed.

And so your identity is a sin because it's contrary to God's truth that he has spoken, that he has given you. So when you believe something contrary to his truth, then that's contrary to God. So let's repent of your identity of being in pain.

So she said, oh, God, I forgive, you know, forgive me for my identity. So, no, no, no, it's not forgive, it's repent. It's a legal process. So I just guided her to say, God, I forget.

I repent of my identity of being in pain. Then I said, spirit, get out. And instantly it left. I checked back with her three months later. This was during Christmas time. Say, how are you doing?

She said, oh, it's great. Haven't been in the wheelchair the whole time. I've been standing at the kitchen sink in the kid's house and doing dishes and meals. Great.

Then in January, I text her, how's it going? She said, I'm back in the wheelchair. I text her back, have you repented? 30 minutes later she says, it's gone.

So what happens a lot of times when people are healed and then it returns is because that person frequently does one of two things. Ultimately, they give the spirit a right to be. To be back there. So it could be.

If the spirit was cast out like I did with Franchial the first time, it was just the force of my authority in Christ that pushed it out. And after it left, it said, wait, hold on. I still have a legal right to be there. I don't have to be out.

So it comes back because it has a legal right. The second time, we break the legal right. And it goes. But then Franchil says, you know, this feels so awkward.

I can't believe that I'm out of a wheelchair. This is wrong, because, I mean, I really should be in the wheelchair. And that thinking in her mind is called a word curse.

In the deliverance world, it's where you give agreement to something contrary to God. And that agreement contrary to God allows a spirit now to use that as a legal right to fulfill that. So now the spirit comes back.

You see this a lot with addictions. A lot of times people breaking. They can't really break addiction because addiction is a spirit, is a demonic thing.

And a lot of times when they say, I can't stop shooting up, I can't stop, then that agreement that they can't stop becomes a legal right for the spirit to stay in. So there's these real subtle things that we do in our lives that we don't even know that we're doing.

Keith Haney: 00:36:44

Touching something. You asked the. You said it was a nun, right?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:36:48

A missionary.

Keith Haney: 00:36:49

A missionary. You asked her the question. I know there's probably a lot of people heard that and probably stopped like I did.

You asked the question about, do you ever have sex outside of marriage? I mean, in our culture, that's so common. Why did you ask that question? And what does that particular question identify with you?

I'm just kind of curious.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:37:08

No, no, no. Okay. So keep in mind. Okay. Everything is based on a legal right. A legal right is an unrepentant sin.

There are three types of spirits that come in, generally speaking, right? One is an amplifying spirit. It's a. It's a one to one ratio, meaning if I blow up in anger at someone, it opens up the door.

A legal right for a spirit of anger to come in and amplify anger in my life. See, all a demon is. This is real interesting, Keith. All a demon is is a person of sin. That's how it's. It's a person of sin. And an amp and.

And A lot of times they'll be, and they're different types of this. But a spirit of anger is simply a sin of anger. They don't make you angry.

They simply take the anger that you already have and amplify it to where you can't resist it. Okay, so normal things that wouldn't get you upset, some breaks in front of you, okay, that guy's a jerk, but what big deal.

But once that spirit of anger comes and that person breaks in front of you and you just go live it, you just can't, you know, you're you, something grabs you and you're always angry, then you're always angry and then something happens and you get afraid. Almost hurt my throat doing that. Sorry. You know, now you have the spirit of fear because you get really afraid and now you're anxious on everything.

And usually with anxiety there are other things that come in. Now you get depressed or you get a spiritual spirit of depression. Then maybe you start to do drugs and now you got a spirit of addiction.

Okay, so all these are 1:1 to 1 ratios. And they're usually not all the time. They're usually doors that you open up personally.

Sometimes the legal right is through an unholy spiritual connection between you and someone else. I call it an unholy soul tie. This is mostly verified.

While there's a, there is inference to this concept within the Bible, much of what I've learned has been empirical data where I've tested and I've proven this to be true. It may not be in the Bible light. You know, I'm sitting in an air conditioned room while it's 90 degrees outside air conditioning is non biblical.

Right? But it's true. Okay, so just because it's not specific, specifically listed in the Bible doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

So this unholy soul tie to like I could, like if I blow up in anger, it could simply be the spirit of anger comes into me because I sinned in anger. But if you really tick me off, then the spirit could come in through an unholy soul tie through you.

Not that you have a spirit of anger, but he was using you as a pawn. And because I responded to that spirit of anger through you, that connection, that spiritual connection is where I have to repent.

Not only repent of my anger, but I have to break a soul tie with you. Now to sexual sin, when a sexual sin is one of the biggest issues in Christianity. This is why I think it was called the Jerusalem Council.

I may have the term Wrong.

But when all the Gentiles were coming to Christ, this is in Acts, and they said, we need to teach them what to do, but we don't want to put them under all 613 Jewish laws. So what are the most important things?

And so, with the Holy Spirit's guidance, they came up with essentially two category of things, blood and sexual. In other words, don't eat a strangled animal, don't eat an animal with blood, and don't eat an animal that's been sacrificed.

And refrain from sexual immorality. It was so important. That was the only thing they said. Here's the issue with sex outside of marriage.

There's a concept of marriage, and we think of marriage in human terms. But marriage is actually a spiritual term that anytime a man and a woman, or homosexual is even worse.

But anytime a man and woman come together spiritually, they become one with each other. All of mine is yours, all of yours is mine. God sees my wife and I as one because we are one, okay? And it's a covenantal thing.

But when you have sex outside of the covenant of marriage, it is sin. Anytime you commit sin with someone else, there's always an unholy soul tie connecting the two of you.

That is an open door for spiritual influence, negative spiritual influence. But when it's a sexual sin, it is a wild card.

Because if I sleep with a lady who has five different open doors, she's got anxiety, bipolar disorder, she's got addiction to drugs, depression, and anger issues, okay? Once I sleep with her, all of those open doors become my open doors too, giving those spirits a right to come in.

And without me getting upset at anyone, without me having. Doing drugs, without me being depressed or anything like that, I now can inherit all of that from her and she inherits whatever it is from me.

But then you expand that out, because what if she slept with three other guys before she slept with me? So her open doors have now been expanded to their. Because she's inherited their open doors.

And so it's a cesspool of opportunity for all kinds of issues to happen in your life that you wonder why it's going on.

But people will see this in the earthly realm because we sleep with someone and we start to say, you know, I'm picking up a lot of the same issues that they had. That's strange. Well, what's happening is the legal right in the spiritual realm through that sexual union.

That's why the top three things is sex outside of marriage, unforgiveness and the occult. Get rid of those things, handle those legal rights, you'll clear up almost everything that people have.

There are a lot of other little nuances throughout, but those are the three big ones and that's why that makes sense.

Keith Haney: 00:43:41

So that's cool. So I got to ask you this question. How's your book doing?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:43:46

It is doing great for those who get is kind of hard as a self published author to get the message out in large enough realms to get a lot of sales on it. So I'm still trudging through and pushing through and getting the message out.

Keith Haney: 00:44:05

That's awesome.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:44:06

So I will say one thing.

Keith Haney: 00:44:07

Go ahead.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:44:08

I got to say one thing about the book, though. You know, you can tell the efficacy of a method by what people do with it.

And the typical person, this is anecdotal, but the people I know that I've talked to who've gone through my book, either I've known them because they went through the book and they reached out to me, or they were a friend before.

The average person ends up buying three to five books and giving out to their closest friends and family because of the impact it's making in their lives so that you know it's. It's going somewhere because it's really making that impact.

Keith Haney: 00:44:44

That's awesome. So I love to ask my guest this question. What do you want your legacy to be?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:44:53

I want my legacy not to be in the earthly realm, but the heavenly realm that says I was faithful in yielding all of myself to the Lord and doing only what he directed me to do, doing it by faith, without regard to what I saw in the natural, as to whether I could or couldn't do it.

And that people are set free not because they know me or I'm famous, but because they follow God's word through either my direct teaching or the variations of it that hopefully will transcend out there. And that's the legacy I want.

Keith Haney: 00:45:29

That's great. So this is something that I did not send you.

This is something new in season six of the podcast and that is a surprise question that you have to answer. And you get to pick a number from 1 to 5 for your surprise question.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:45:43

3. It's holy 3.

Keith Haney: 00:45:47

Okay, here's a good one. Is a hot dog a sandwich? And if so, why.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:45:53

A hot dog is a sandwich? Because it's a piece of meat. If you call it that, in between two pieces of bread, you will make.

Keith Haney: 00:46:05

All the people in Chicago very happy with your response.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:46:08

Good.

Keith Haney: 00:46:59

Well, thanks so much for sharing as we kind of wrap up this session. What key takeaway you want to leave with the audience as we wrap up today?

Beatty Carmichael: 00:47:06

You know, the key takeaway is I have seen everything that doctor not everything doctors say is incurable, but I've seen so many things that happen to normal people throughout life that doctors say is incurable. I've seen blinded eyes open, I've seen deaf ears open, sleep apnea go where the guy gives away his CPAP machine.

People healed, type 2 diabetes, addictions, all kinds of mental illnesses, chronic pains, acute pain like especially from surgery wounds and stuff. And a lot of these people have been praying and praying and praying for years. God, please take this issue away. And he never does.

And many people lose hope because they say, I prayed for healing, God didn't heal. Well, sometimes we pray in petition rather than pray in the way God said to pray.

And I'm finding that those same people have been praying for years and have given up any hope that God's going to heal them. When they go through this process, 90% of the time they are healed.

Keith Haney: 00:48:06

Well, thank you so much and blessings on the work you do and thanks so much for coming on the podcast and sharing with us today.

Beatty Carmichael: 00:48:13

Well, thank you so much for having me on. It's been a real pleasure.
