    The following is my testimony about two dreams I had about Sid Roth in 2008, plus a word from the Lord about him in the summer of 2015.
    I apologize for making this so long but I didn't know of any other way to do it. First, a bit of background about myself (so that you'll know that this isn't a hoax): I accepted Jesus as my savior on April 28, 1970 at around 7:30 in the morning, then I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit about a half hour later. I was 23 years old then (I'm 71 years old now). I got saved in a little Pentecostal Church in San Clemente California during what was then referred to as "The Jesus Movement" outpouring of the Holy Spirit which was happening in California at that time (which also happened at Asbury Seminary that year, plus several other places). Not long after I got saved the Lord started leading me into fellowships with people who either had prophetic gifting or who were interested in prophetic ministry, so in the ensuing years along the way I became somewhat familiar with genuine New Testament prophetic ministry.
    In July of 1991 I moved to a mountainous rural area of North Alabama where there was no TV reception. By the time Satellite TV became available (which was about five or six years later) I had learned how to live without TV and movies, and I was aware of how much better off I was without them. So I haven't had TV in my house for 26 years. One night in April of 2008 I had two dreams about Sid Roth, but because I didn't have TV I didn't know who he was. In the first dream he was in what looked like a confrontation with an angel. They were fighting over what looked like some sort of metal electrical grid that was suspended in mid-air about five or six feet above the floor. The room was a very large room, at least as large as a typical high school gymnasium, with a stage at the far end of the room. It looked like it may have been a big basement room as the walls, ceiling, and floor were made of concrete, and there were square concrete support pillars here and there in the room. The ceiling looked to have been at least 20' high (flat ceiling), and as I recall there were no windows. There were no other people there besides Sid Roth and the angel. The grid looked to have been about 3' X 3' X 1' and with four rows of openings that looked to have been about 8" square. The grid was made out of a somewhat shiny metal like aluminum or stainless steel (it was very high-tech looking). The metal between the openings was about an inch thick. The grid was suspended in mid-air with nothing to support it (i.e. no strings, ropes, or wires holding it up). The front of it was covered with what looked like a sheer silk looking fabric that was tightly stretched over the face of the openings on the front of grid. The fabric was a very light greenish gray color. It was so thin that I could slightly see through it.
    The angel looked to have been close to nine feet tall and was wearing warrior's armor. He had on a black full-faced helmet (so I couldn't see his face), a black breastplate, a black girdle, black boots and shin guards, black forearm guards, black gloves, and he was wearing a long cape with vertical black and purple stripes that were about 12" wide, and he had a very large sword in his hand. He was white-skinned as I could see part of his neck, part of his lower abdomen, part of his forearms and biceps, the lower part of his thighs and his knees. The purple stripes of the cape he was wearing were very vivid, so much so that they looked more beautiful than any such thing in the real world. He was quite majestic looking to say the least. With his sword he kept stabbing at the openings in the grid and making holes in the sheer fabric, and every time he made a cut in the fabric over one of the openings in the grid Sid Roth would wave his hand over it and the cut in the fabric would close up as if nothing had gone through it. In my field of vision the angel was standing to the left of the grid and Sid Roth was standing to the right of it. Every time the angel stabbed through the sheer fabric there was an electrical zapping sound. Then as I said, as soon as he stabbed it and made a cut in the fabric Sid Roth would wave his hand over the grid and the cut in the fabric would disappear so that the fabric would be restored like new. While I was watching him do this I had the thought that he was some kind of magician or wizard.
    So the angel kept stabbing the grid and each time he did Sid Roth kept waving his hand over it and mending the cuts in the fabric. They went back and forth like that for several minutes. Sid Roth was wearing a light grayish beige suit that looked to have been two or three sizes too big for him. Even though he didn't look dirty I could tell there was something wrong about him. In a way he kind of looked like a street bum. So while I was looking at him doing his hand waving I heard an audible voice say "Sid Roth," and the dream ended, and I woke up. So I was lying there in the dark trying to think if I knew who Sid Roth was, and all I could think of was that maybe he was a rock star (rock and roll music star). Like I said, I hadn't had TV for a long time (seventeen years at that time) so I didn't know who he was. I thought about getting up and turning on my laptop and Googling his name but I was so tired I laid back down and went back to sleep.
    Then as soon as I went back to sleep I had another dream about him. In the second dream he was standing on a very large stage preaching to a very large audience. As he was preaching he kept pacing back and forth on the stage and waving his hands over the crowd. He was wearing the same light grayish beige suit that looked like it was two or three sizes too big for him (it made him look almost comical). I noticed that he did a lot of hand waving and I had the thought it gave him power of mind control over the crowd. I watched him doing this for what seemed like two or three minutes. Then while I was watching him I heard a voice say "Sid Roth" and the dream ended and I woke up. Then when I woke up the second time my curiosity was really going so I got up out of bed and got online and Goggled his name, and I was somewhat surprised to find out who he was and what he was about. At that time (2008) he was a big cohort of Todd Bentley who was soon thereafter exposed as being a false prophet. In the years since then I've seen Sid Roth on TV a few times while visiting friends who were watching one of his programs, and every time I saw him I remembered those two dreams and how they taught me to discern what he is and what he's about. Plus I've looked at him on CZcams several times lately, and each time I had a bad feeling about him (kind of an inner cringe sort of feeling, like a feeling of revulsion).
    Then one day in June of 2015 (about seven years later) I was out in my front yard picking up sticks and branches that had been blown out of trees by a violent storm a couple of nights before, and while I was picking up an armload of sticks, out of the blue the Lord spoke to me and said: "Sid Roth is pretty much the equivalent of a 21st century Simon Magus." Hearing that kind of blew my mind because he hadn't spoken to me like that in quite awhile, plus because I hadn't really thought about Sid Roth in years. I didn't know for sure who Simon Magus was, so I went in the house and got online and Googled his name and I was somewhat surprised to find out about who he was and what he was about. Basically he was a sorcerer who had the power of mind control over the whole city of Samaria during the time of the New Testament Apostles. At that time Samaria was one of the biggest cities in the middle-east region. In the Christian Bible, chapter 8 of The Book of Acts says this about him:
    But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city , used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying "This man is the great power of God." And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. (Acts 8:9-11, King James Version).
    As the story continues, Simon Magus saw the Apostles (Peter and John) doing miracles by the anointing of the Holy Spirit and he offered them money to give him that anointing, and Peter rebuked him saying:
    "Thy money perish with thee, because thou has thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part or lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this why wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive thou are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity." (Acts 8:18-23, King James Version).
    When he heard that he sort of half-heartedly repented (because he was a faker) (verse 24). He was all about self and money.
    So, in view of all that I've written here, I'd say it's reasonable to conclude that the Lord doesn't have a very high opinion of Sid Roth. I hope that whoever happens to read this will take heed to it and start discerning where Sid Roth is at spiritually. CZcams is awash with false prophets and false teachers these days, but I think Sid Roth is one of the worst ones as he exploits the goodness in the innocent people who come on his show, for his own self-aggrandizement. One thing many Christians fail to realize is that (generally speaking) the false teachers and false prophets are often very popular (some of them with huge followings) whereas the genuine teachers and prophets of the Lord tend to be ignored and/or unheard-of (you certainly won't find any of them posting videos on CZcams).
