Your Day Is Here
January 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Beverly Skipworth
Oh, My children, I say unto you tonight, this is the midnight hour. Arise, arise. Awake out of slumber. Your day is here. I say, your day is here, My children. Prepare yourself. Your day is here. Your day is here.
You say you will deny yourself and take up thy cross and follow Me. Are you truly willing, children? Are you willing to deny yourself of everything? Are you willing to deny yourself, My children? Are you willing?
Verily I say, you must take up your cross. You must follow Me. I say unto you, this is not an easy walk. But I will grant you grace, My children, grace and strength to take up your cross and follow Me and obey. For this is your day.
Shake yourself, for the day is far spent. I say to you, it is far spent. Work while it is light, for the darkness is drawing nearer and nearer, My children, the day of trials, troubles, Jacob’s troubles. I say unto you, troubles, children, troubles.
You must prepare yourself. You must put thy armor on. You must prepare yourself. You must hide My Word in your heart. You must be thoroughly filled with My Spirit and willing to obey Me. So walk in My footsteps, My children, for I shall lead thee if you will be sensitive to My voice and hear My voice. I will lead you. I will guide you. I will not lead you into a path where I have not been, and prepared for you to go in, my children Do not be afraid, for I walk with you. Do not be afraid.
I have called you with a special calling, for you are Mine. I have called you unto Me. You are specially chosen for Me, My children, to walk and to do My works in the last hour. I have place you here. It is I Who have place you here. You have not come on your own accord. This is Me speaking, children. It is I that has made you and placed you in this place.
Be ye thankful that I will dwell among you, My children. Let your heart be thankful, that the Lord, thy God, would dwell in your midst. Trim your lamps…
To Find the One
January 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Daniel Skipworth
As I was kneeling down praying, the Lord started speaking to me. He let me see a little vision. And I saw this cliff. There was three little lambs that were starting to walk right toward it. And they were right at the edge. And they were just fixing to fall off.
And the Lord told me, said, “Now is the time that I will go for them, that I will leave the ninety and nine, just to go find one, that I would reach for that lamb before he fell.” And He said that He had to wait until this time. He had to wait until they got right to the edge, so that they would have learned their lesson.
I couldn’t see a face. All I saw was like a Shepherd or something. He was walking toward the cliff, toward the lambs, and they were threatening to jump off. And it wasn’t just like, you know, they were just going to fall off. But it’s like they knew that He was coming for them. And that was when He decided to move towards them.
I Am the Great Shepherd
January 2, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given to Unknown Person, Read by Brother Shelley
For truly, I AM the Great Shepherd. (That was the theme of what God was speaking.) I have heard the bleating of the sheep as they are being torn apart by the devourer. But with holy vengeance will I go after the devourer. My anger has kindled and I will go forth as a Shepherd that would destroy anything that would come to harm His sheep, so shall I destroy. I believe, “That says the Lord”, don’t you?" Oh yes.

You can go free.
You can go free.
With My strong and mighty arm.
I will break through.”
With My strong and mighty arm.
I will break through.
The Sword of the Lord is Positioned for Battle
January 2, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
Did I not say, saith the Lord,
That the dragon could not withstand Me?
Did I not say that the dragon could not have power over Me, saith the Lord.
Did I not say that I would deliver even from the mouth of the dragon?
Trust Me this night, saith the Lord.
For I have not forgotten My Promise unto thee,
And I will surely deliver them out, saith the Lord.
Those that are Mine, that have been taken in the mouth of the dragon,
I will deliver. I will set free.
With My strong and mighty arm.
For the Lord would say unto thee,
My Sword is poised tonight for battle.
It is positioned for battle.
It is raised above My head for battle.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
With the Sword of the Lord I will bring My sheep forth.
(Hallelujah. Hallelujah…)
Breaking Forth
January 2, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
Do you believe God thinks? Oh, the Bible said, He had thoughts. I want to know what God is thinking about right now. I don’t only want to know what God was thinking about in the ‘50’s. I don’t only want to know what God is thinking about for eternity out there, but I have a desire to know what God is thinking about right here tonight.
Whatever day this is. January 2nd. Is it? 1999, at about 6:53, I want to know what God is saying. And about 6:53 on January 2nd, I hear the Lord saying, “Open your eyes and get ready to see the salvation of the Lord. For you have fought until you could not fight. You have labored until you could not labor. Now get ready to watch My arm, (hallelujah) as it comes to the rescue.”
Somebody say, “I’m depending on it, Lord. I’m depending on it. I fought every battle I’ve known how to fight. I’ve done everything I know to do, but my circumstances just won’t turn me loose. But I know in that hour that You come from the Glory-world, breaking through.” Hallelujah.
What is God breaking through?
He’s breaking through principalities. He’s breaking through powers. He’s breaking through spiritual wickedness in high places. Hallelujah. I appreciate the blessings of the Lord. I appreciate the blessings of the Lord, because I know they don’t come cheap.
Listen now, I know that every time God blesses me, every time He touches me by His Spirit, every time He lifts me a little higher, the hand of the Lord has to reach down through the principalities, through the powers, through the spiritual wickedness in high places, just to give me a touch.
I appreciate the effort of the Lord. Hallelujah. I appreciate the labor. I appreciate the effort. I appreciate what the Lord does to bring me a touch.
Somebody said, “What do you mean, He has to go through?”
Well, you don’t think that the principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places, you don’t think they just roll out of the way, do you? Oh no. But God has to break through every time He gives me a touch. Hallelujah.
You’re going to start appreciating them tears when you get them. You’re going to start appreciating that Glory, that strong feeling of the Lord that comes upon you when you realize that every demon in the underworld has aimed his guns on you, and he doesn’t want you to get a touch of God. He doesn’t want you do be encouraged. He doesn’t want you to feel any kind of a Presence from the Lord. And so he sends out all of these powers, all of these demon spirits that dwell in the atmosphere and in the air. He sends them out to block the Hand of God from breaking forth in your life. But I want you to know, God’s breaking forth anyhow.
On the Cutting Edge
January 3, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord spoke to me this morning sitting in the chair. And He said, “You’re getting ready to be on the cutting edge.” I said, “Lord, that’s where I want to be, right where it’s sharp.” Praise God.
You know, sometimes when you’re on the cutting edge it’s difficult. Because you’re part of the razor blade. How many of you know people don’t always like the razor blade? But I want to be there anyway. Praise the Lord.
You Are a Masterpiece
January 10, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Flo Hendrix
Can’t you recognize Me? I’m pleased with your worship. I can’t find many places this morning where they worship Me in Spirit and Truth. And I’m so pleased with you.
And I want to tell you something this morning. Be very careful and reverence this place, because My Name is here. Be very careful how you speak to each other, and treat each other, and don’t see each other. But look upon each other and look for My face.
I have visited you this morning because I want to tell you that I’m pleased with what’s ahead of you. I will give you the strength. I’m God, and all that I have spoken I will bring to pass. And the shepherd, he’s spoken so many things. And there’s been questions in your mind, “I haven’t seen it come to pass.”
Don’t see, but look in the days ahead. Follow him as you follow Me, because he’s on the right path. In these days ahead, I want you to hear Me good. I put you here for a reason, each and every one of you. You have a certain spot to stand in. You have a certain thing to do.
You may look at yourself and not see much, but hear Me, “You are a masterpiece. You are a masterpiece.” And when I say “Speak,” speak. Thou art Mine. I made you. I’m molding you. And thou art a masterpiece.
Receive the Pardon
January 17, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
I will have a people set free, saith the Lord.
I will have a people who are free, saith the Lord.
For I have redeemed thee.
And I have called thee by My Name, saith the Lord.
I will have a free people.
What would prevent you from being free, saith the Lord?
For I have borne it all at Calvary’s cross.
Yea, I have broken every spirit,
Yea, that would hold you, at Calvary’s cross.
Yea, I have loosed every chain that would bind you, at Calvary’s cross.
Yea, I have healed every disease and every infirmity, at Calvary’s cross.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee,
What would prevent thee from being free this night?
For I have made thee free.
And he whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
The Lord would say unto thee,
Go free. Go free. Go free, saith the Lord.
For freedom has already been purchased.
Yea, with My own blood have I purchased your pardon, saith the Lord.
And now I am waiting on you to receive that pardon.
I’m waiting on you to accept that freedom, saith the Lord.
Go free tonight.
There is nothing that should hinder you,
For I have freed you with My own life.
And I have freed you with My own blood.
Now take your authority, saith the Lord.
And take your freedom.
And go forth and praise Me with liberty.
And praise Me with freedom.
For I have made you free, saith the Lord.
Weapons of Mass Destruction
January 24, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
We who study prophecy know that even though Russia has fallen, and even though the communism of that land has crumbled, and they are now standing in bread lines, starving for the natural bread. But there is a greater hunger in Russia than the hunger for the natural crust of bread.
There is a people oppressed, who are just beginning to feel the stretching of their wings into something that’s greater than what Communism has promised them. They are hungry for the Living Bread, Jesus Christ, and they’re gathering by the hundreds and the thousands to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. But because the people are so poor, they are limited in what they can get and how they can travel and how they can come about.
But we know, those of us who study this, that there will come a solution to that problem. And that solution will not come from Christian people. That solution may not come from what we have known as Communism or Socialism. But we have heard prophetically in this day, that the solution to Russia’s problem will come from Romanism. How many of you know what I’m talking about?
We understand by the Word of God, they’re going to be bailed out of their trouble. It’s coming. And who’s going to bail them out, but that great “Mystery Babylon” that we read about in the Bible, that great country, nation, kingdom, and power of Babylon that will raise up in the last days.
And the very thrust of that does not come from government. It doesn’t come from Communism or Socialism, but it comes from the Roman Catholic Church. Anyone who studies the book of the Revelation in depth and Daniel, could not deny that it’s going to be from those coffers. It’s going to be from those banks, that Russia is bailed out.
And in doing so, they will re-gather their nuclear weapon, and they will re-gather all of their military power. And they’re going to join with China (we know that.) in that great final thrust from the North, down upon that little nation of Israel.
You look this morning like, “Well, one of these days, maybe 2030 or the year 2030, or maybe the year 2050, or maybe the year 2070, these things will come.” Some of you who are older, you’re beginning to realize your age. And you’re beginning to think, “I probably won’t live to see those things.”
But I want you to know, they’re closer upon us this morning than what we realize. The armies of the world are getting ready. They may look quiet. It may look like there’s nothing going on. But while America has been quietly doing away…
Over and over they go into peace agreement with blood-loving nations of the world. And because of these peace accords, America is dismantling her arms and she is doing away with her nuclear weapons, while those blood-thirsty nations are going underground and they’re hiding their bombs and their weapons of mass destruction, and they’re getting ready. And I’ve told you before, they’re not only going to strike Israel, but they’re coming for America.
Oh, yes. And America is doing away with the very weapons that they have to be able to overcome, because there is such a spirit upon this nation. She is the conqueror of the world. She is the greatest nation of the world. And no people would ever be able to come against her. But when hand joins hand, when blood-thirsty nation joins with blood-thirsty nation, you’ll be surprised what they’ll be able to accomplish in the end time.
They’re gathering together now. They’re making their bids now. They’re preparing their weapons now. And I want you to know, I’ve heard great government leaders say, “We do not believe that Saddam Hussain has weapons of mass destruction.” I don’t care what they say. I know where I was when the Spirit of the Lord moved down and said, “Saddam Hussain has enough weapons of mass destruction to destroy a third portion of the world.”
And somebody said, “Where are they?” I don’t know where they are. He may be hiding them in Russia for all I know. He’s been sending his cohorts to Siberia, and they’ve been making deals in Siberia with that great city.
Do you know there is a city in Siberia that’s inside of a mountain? And they’ve been working there for over fifty years, making uranium. They’re getting ready. And although Russia has dismantled her nuclear weapons, they say. They say, “we no longer have these nuclear bombs. And we could no longer do this destruction.”
But I want you to know, reporters have gone and visited and found out that in that city inside the mountain, every day they’re making a ton of uranium, every day. And you know why they say they can’t quit? They’ve been asked, “Why do you continue to make uranium?”
It’s in a secret compound. Only recently have they allowed the news media to even go in and see what’s going on. When those workers walked inside that city and the gate clicked behind them, they were no longer on record in Soviet Russia. They no longer had a family on the outside. They became a property of the government, never to be heard of again until now, things have begun to crumble and some are allowed visitors and different things now.
But they say, “We continue to make this uranium because it’s how we operate our power plant. And it’s very cold in Siberia, and we use the same generator to make uranium. We use the energy of that generator to keep our nation warm and our city warm and our people from freezing to death.
And America buys that. They just say, “Oh, okay. It’s alright for you to make uranium used in nuclear bombs. It’s alright for you to continue to make that, as long as you lock it away. We want you to stay nice and toasty warm.”
Do you understand what’s happening? And they’re storing that up. One of these days, those Arab nations are going to get a hold… In fact, they’re getting a hold of it now. There’s rumor right now that Saddam Hussain has already sent leaders into that place, and they’re bargaining, trying to buy more of that uranium.
Oh, I don’t find it hard to believe at all that the nations of the world are gathering together against Jerusalem. I don’t find it hard to believe that this is going to happen in my lifetime.
I want you to know, the day of playing around… You may not be interested in this this morning. But the day of playing around and the day of doing our own deal, doing our thing, living our own way, choosing and making our own choice, obeying God’s Word when it’s convenient, and when it’s not convenient, doing what we find to be convenient, that day better be over for us, for we’re entering the home stretch.
Hallelujah. We’re moving in (glory to the Lamb) to that final hour, to the consummation of the ages, to the moment of time that Zechariah saw, that hour that he prophesied about several thousand years ago, when the nations of the world would gather against Jerusalem.
And when it looks like that Jerusalem will be over-killed and destroyed and wiped away, there’s coming in the clouds of Glory a Mighty Conqueror. Hallelujah. He’s coming with the host of Heaven with Him, and He’s going to set right down on the Mount of Olives and declare, “Enough is enough! Devil, take your hands off of My people.” Oh, yes.
Some people refer to this as Armageddon. Some people refer to this as the war of the Apocalypse. Some people refer to this as World War Three. I don’t know what to call it. But I know that these Scriptures are true. And I know and believe with all of my heart that we will see those things. I believe there is a host of people gathered here this morning, that will be alive when these events take place.
I Am Calling Thee to Spring
January 31, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord is mighty in battle this morning. Yea, the Lord is mighty in battle. And yea, He has prepared Himself. Yea, the Lord hath prepared Himself for the battle. Yea, I am the Lord, thy God, and I am dressed even this day in the battle garments, saith the Lord.
Yea, it is not as regal as the priestly robe. And yea, it may not be as beautiful as the kingly robe. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am dressed this day in the array of battle. And yea, My Sword is in My hand. And yea, I am getting ready to take back that which belongeth unto Me, saith the Lord. For I am desirous toward My Bride.
Yea, the Lord, thy God, would say unto thee, I am longing for My Bride. Yea, and I have watched how the enemy has done everything that he could to keep her from making her appointment. Yea, but I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, I have waited for her, and I have seen the hour of our appointment drawing near. And it seems that the enemy would cause her to be late in the preparation for our meeting.
But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will go for her. Yea, I will go for thee even in battle, saith the Lord, and gather her, so that she could arise. Yea, arise, My fair one, saith the Lord. Arise, My fair one, and come away, for summer has ended, saith the Lord, and winter is passed. And yea, I am calling thee to spring.
Yea, I am calling thee to be young again, saith the Lord. I am calling thee to forget the old, the oldness of your flesh, the oldness of the thoughts of your mind, and I’m calling you to your springtime, saith the Lord. I am calling you to the prime of your life.
For the Lord would say unto thee, while the world is getting old, and while the servants of sin are getting older, My children are getting younger, saith the Lord, as they draw nearer to the meeting that I have ordained. Yea, saith the Lord, this is not a meeting that I have just made, saith the Lord. But it is a meeting that I have purposed in My heart from the foundation of the world, the hour that I would stand face-to-face with My Bride.
She’s been a long time in the making, said God. And for thousands of years armies have marched against her. They’ve caused her to be a martyr, saith the Lord. They’ve persecuted and killed My people. But yea, I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, soon I will tolerate it no more.
For I will loose the bands that hold her, saith God, and I will cause her to change clothes quickly, for that, that I’m about to do is a quick work. And there is no time for her to tarry, said the Lord. There is no time for her to linger. There is no time for her to wait. Come now, saith the Lord. Come, while the Spirit bids you. And I will dress thee in My Word, and I will anchor thee in My Truth, saith the Lord. And you will resist the howls of the enemy. And you will have strength, saith the Lord, for the mighty Conqueror reigneth this day. And I have called thee to reign with Me, saith the Lord. Little children, you will and must overcome, for I have overcome the world.
Prepare now, saith the Lord, for I am ready to smite the enemy that would hold you from our appointed meeting. I am ready to move him, saith the Lord, out of your way, if you will do your part. I am calling you to My Word. I am calling you to the simplicity of My Gospel. I am calling you back, saith the Lord. Back! Back! Back! For the only way to go forward is to go back. And the only way to go upward is to go down.
Humble yourself, saith the Lord, and lay low before Me, low in My Presence, low in My Holiness, low in My Righteousness. For when you have laid yourself low before Me, I will raise thee up with Words of Love, and I will strengthen thee and undergird thee, for this is an hour appointed of God. And yea, I know you have wondered, saith the Lord. I know you have wondered when your rescue would come. I know you have wondered if I would leave you, saith the Lord, in rags, if I would leave you as a prey to your enemy.
But the Lord would say unto thee, I have so purposed it in My heart, for the hour is appointed. And when that hour doth dawn, I, the Lord thy God, will raise thee up in a measure that thou hast never known.
Yea, the greatest poet has never written it, nor the greatest songwriter has ever sung it, nor the greatest preacher, he has never preached it. For I will do that which no human mind can fathom. I will call you into My mind. I will call you into My Spirit. I will call you into Me. For out of Me you have come. And yea, into Me you will return, so saith the Lord.
Rise Up, It Is I Who Has Called You
January 31, 1999 (Sunday Morning)

Death in the Pot
January 31, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
He gave me a vision in church last Tuesday night, while I was sitting here. And I’ve only mentioned it to two people, my wife and my mother. But I feel led to read it this morning before we pray, because I believe God’s about to do something. And I’m afraid if I don’t read it, you won’t realize that God is moving.
This was on Tuesday night. I saw a black caldron, or a wash pot, with a thick, dark smoke boiling out of it. I saw a black, gloved hand stirring the pot with a long, round-looking instrument of some sort.
A voice spoke out and said,” There is death in the pot. If they don’t stop stirring, death will bubble out and seize some of them.” I saw pale, drawn faces or heads boiling around in the pot. I recognized some of them to be my friends who have walked so close with me.
All-Consuming Fire
January 31, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And as I was sitting there tonight, I could see the Man of war that everyone was talking about. But to me He appeared in a garment of fire. I could see the licks of fire covering His garment. He was robed in a garment of fire. I believe tonight that He is that all consuming fire. His Word consumes.
I Don’t Want to Miss One Thing

I’ll wait on You, I’ll wait on You.
I don’t want to miss one thing
That You have for me.
I don’t want to miss one thing
That Your Spirit is doing.
I don’t want to miss one thing,
That Your Spirit is saying.

I’ll wait on You.
I don’t want to miss one thing,

I don’t want to miss one thing
That Your Spirit is doing.
I don’t want to miss one thing

I don’t want to miss one thing that Your Spirit is saying.
I’ll wait on You. (God, teach us to wait.)
I’ll wait on You.
I don’t want to miss one thing
That You have for me.
I Want to Reveal My Heart
February 7, 1999 (Thursday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see even now in the Spirit, strong and capable hands holding a heart. And it is not like a heart that I’ve seen in the body with valves. That’s the real heart, and we see that. But this heart is more like a Valentine’s heart. How many of you know what I’m talking about?
I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, because it comes from mythology. And I don’t celebrate anything like that. I don’t have to wait until the time of celebrating a false god to tell my wife I love her and do something special for her. So don’t get caught up in that trap. But how many of you know that red heart shape, where we think about a heart. We know the human heart doesn’t look like that, but we see that as a heart.
I can see strong and capable hands holding a big, red, valentine heart, like what we would call a valentine heart. And I see across the middle of that heart, I see a hinge. And I see that that heart is like a box.
And I see those strong, capable hands bending the hinge of that box and opening it up (Hallelujah), so that you and I might be able to draw near and take a peek inside. I hear the Lord saying (hallelujah), “I’m looking for a people that I can expose My heart to. I’m looking for a people that I can reveal my heart to. Let us praise and draw near to Him. Hallelujah. Lord, I want to be one of those…
How are you responding? I don’t even know if you’re responding to what the Lord just said. Are you responding tonight? Then lift up your hand and say, “Lord, I want to be one.” I didn’t hear anything. I couldn’t even tell if anyone was responding to what the Lord is saying.
God is saying, “I want to be able to reveal My heart to you.” I want it. I’m going to be looking to see if He holds His mind in His hand, because I want to be one that He reveals His mind to. Hallelujah. I’m going to be looking to see if He holds His Words in His hand, because I want to be one that He reveals and exposes His Words to. Hallelujah. Oh. (Tongues) Hallelujah. I’m going to praise Him. Hallelujah. I’m going to praise Him. Glory.
That is not complicated. That’s not complicated. He said, “I want to reveal My heart to You.” The only way that you’re going to be able to get close enough and intimate enough to know His true heart, you’re going to have to draw near to Him. And the only way to draw near to Him and near to His heart, is to allow Him to loose you into the Anointing and realm of being a worshiper.

Miracles
February 21, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Annabelle Weems
Tonight as we were singing, “You deserve the Glory,” we to that part that said, “You do miracles and there’s no one else like You.” And I could almost see in my mind’s eye, Jesus walking through the crowd and laying His hands on blinded eyes, and them being opened, and bringing healing to those who needed it. I just want to praise Him and thank Him.
I believe we’re going to see those things soon. We’re not just going to hear about them, we’re not just going to wish we had them only. But we’re going to see Him open eyes. Open and unstop the deaf ears and do mighty miracles in our midst. And I want to praise Him for His Presence.
Stoke the Fire
February 21, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain
Coming to church this morning, (I rode with Sister Annie to church…) But coming in… I don’t know if it was a vision or if it was in my mind’s eye, but I saw this huge bonfire. And there was a person, I think it was a man, sitting there. And it was dark. And lurking around were all these wolves. And it was like, as long as that person kept putting logs or whatever it was that made the flame so high, the wolves stayed back.
They were lurking and you could hear them there. They made their noises and their sounds. But as long as that fire was big… And fire puts out heat. And I believe that fire is the Holy Ghost. And I believe as long as we stoke that fire, we don’t have to fear the wolves. You know, they’re harmless. They’re harmless. They just try to fool us.
And the other thing I want to say is, what I saw this morning. Is that all right? I saw Brother Shelley. And I saw this honey being poured out on him. And the Lord said to me that that honey is the sweetness that will…” You know, “For all the…” What was the word I used? Bitter. And the Lord said that that honey was His comfort, and that this bitterness or whatever it was, was soon going to end. And I praise God. I love Him.
And it’s very hard for me to do those things, Brother Shelley. And I had to move. When I moved up front, I just kept moving on it. And then the Lord would help me to get up there. But I covet your prayers that the Lord would use me, and that I would let Him direct me. I love Him with all my heart, and I want to serve Him. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Pouring Out His Fragrance
February 21, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
As we were singing, I saw the Lord open, like it was vials. And He was pouring them out. And He said that’s our worship. There was such a sweet fragrance coming out. I could see it almost rising up as a smoke.
The Lord said, “Continue in worship, and He will bless us.” He will pour out His fragrance on us. He will pour out His Glory, if we will worship and praise Him. He’s worthy.
Mercy Rain
February 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see in the Spirit right now, those same drops of mercy falling in an amber light, just drops of rain falling around me. And the Lord spoke one time and said, “It’s mercy rain.” It’s golden, amber color, just dropping like little licks of fire, but dropping like rain.
Thank God for the mercy of the Lord. Thank God for the mercies of the Lord. Hallelujah. (Tongues) We praise You for the mercy rain, Lord. We praise You for mercy rain.
Filling the Earth with His Glory
February 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
As we were singing the song, “How great is the Lord,” I was pondering on how great the Lord is and how He has filled the heavens with His Glory. And as I saw that, I saw the Lord as He was setting the stars into the heavens.
And then I saw His Hands as He waved them. It was like flashes of light. He said, He was filling the earth with His Glory now. And it was that gold dust that was coming down. And it witnessed to my spirit that we will see it in this House also.
Children’s Revival
February 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Joyce Greeley
Even as the Lord Jesus laid His hands upon the heads of the children and blessed them in His day, even so, said the Lord, I will lay My hands upon your children in this day. And your children will be blessed.
You have heard of the children’s revival in faraway places, but you will see a children’s revival in your own midst, where I have not forgotten My chosen people. I have not forgotten their children.
Consuming Fire of the Lord
February 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
One, when we were… My mother kept the baby last night for us to have a meal with Tommy and Karen. And when we went to pick up the baby and come down the hill, I saw fire raise up over the hood of the vehicle. And a little fear gripped my heart. But then the Lord said, “It’s the consuming Fire of the Lord.” Hallelujah. I told my wife about the consuming Fire of the Lord.
Glory Mingled with the Consuming Fire
February 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And then while we were worshiping this morning, I saw a pitcher. A pitcher, not a picture. A pitcher, like what you would see in old paintings, with a broad handle like this that comes way down. And there was a liquid being poured out. But in the liquid, there was licks of fire.
I could see that the liquid was burning like lava. That’s the best way to describe it. I believe the Lord is pouring out His Glory this morning. But I believe it’s mingled with the consuming Fire of the Lord.
And my wife said, “Is it judgment?” And I said, “It can be.” But we all need the consuming Fire of the Lord. For the children of God, it wouldn’t be judgment. It would be a cleansing and a purifying that we desperately need. Let’s reach up to the Lord and ask Him to pour that Glory mingled with Fire into our lives this morning. Hallelujah.
Pouring out Your Glory…
The Glory Being Poured Out
February 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jan Salvador
When Jonathan started to sing, “Pouring out Your Glory,” it was like I could see big water pots in different places over the congregation. And God’s Glory was being poured out of those pots. And it was an endless supply. But I never thought of it as being like fire, but it was gold that was coming down.
The Sounds of Heaven
February 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jan Salvador
I don’t remember how Brother Shelley had said it at one point in one of the services, when he said that you had to tune in to the sounds of Heaven. And I could hear the angels singing. I could hear the praises going on. And I just want to thank the Lord for being able to hear the sounds of Heaven.
You deserve the Glory…
The Sword of the Lord
February 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
The Sword of the Lord is swift and mighty.
The Sword of the Lord is swift and mighty, poised for battle.
Yea, the Lord would say, “My Sword is poised for battle.
Raise it high. Raise it high, high above your heads.
The Sword of the Lord is swift and mighty.
Yea, I am cutting down. I am piercing through.
I am breaking forth. My Sword is swift and mighty.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
The Sword of the Lord is upon thee this night.
Yea, it is in the midst of thee to cut asunder, saith the Lord, to separate, saith God.
Yea, the Lord is here, and His Sword is piercing.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, it is sharper than any two-edged sword,
And it goes down, saith the Lord, into the thoughts and the intents of the heart.
Take My Sword. For the Lord would say unto thee,
It is not reserved for one chosen only,
But it is reserved for My Body, saith the Lord.
I give unto thee My Word. I give unto thee My Sword.
Raise it high above your head, saith the Lord,
And I will give you the strength to cut away all of the chains, saith the Lord,
All of the shackles, all of the fetters, all of the cages.
For the Sword of the Lord pierces flesh and bone.
Yea, and it pierces even those things that are man-made.
Yea, My Sword pierces through the steel bars,
Through the metal cages, saith the Lord.
Take up My Sword. Take up My Sword.
Take up My Sword, for it is in the midst of thee this night,
To loose and to deliver, to set free and send forth.
The Sword of the Lord is upon thee.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
Even as a king would take the sword
And place the blade upon the head,
Saith the Lord, of the one that was to be knighted,
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
I make you My knights. I make you My warriors.
Yea, I send you forth as soldiers, saith the Lord.
I will touch thee this night with the blade of the Sword of the Lord,
And send thee forth as warriors in the spirit world,
To defeat the works of darkness, to scatter, saith the Lord,
To scatter, saith the Lord, all of the enemies of your soul,
To expose, to uncover every one of his devices.
Take up My Sword, for it is sure and mighty, and it is upon thee this night.
Take up My Sword and be ready. Be ready, saith the Lord.
Be ready for the battle, for the battle is at hand.
But you will not fight with your own sword,
For I give you Mine, Mine. Take Mine!”
It pierces the darkness.
The Sword of the Lord pierces the darkness.
It cuts away the dark clouds.
The Wind Just Needs a Spark
February, 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Exhortation given by Megan Keno
The Lord has showed me, that like the fire, if there’s a little spark there, all it takes is a wind, and it flames up big. It just goes wild. It just takes the wind. It just takes the wind and it will go, if there’s a little spark there.
There has to be a spark though.
Taste & Eat
February 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
I saw golden drops of honey dropping down onto trees. And it was as I could hear Saul’s voice telling them soldiers not to eat the honey. But as the honey dipped down, I saw the soldiers start to tip their swords and to taste that honey, and to not be afraid because it was the strength… [Unclear Audio]
The Lord said to taste, to taste and eat, that He is good. What He is sending is from Him.
King Anointing a Knight
March 2, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jane Shelley
I was sitting here thinking that when Brother Shelley was prophesying Sunday night, how it touched my heart. And I had my eyes closed. And I was really concentrating (I thought) on what he was saying. But it was like it was playing out it my mind. And before he spoke about how a king would anoint a knight, with he touched the sword to his head, I saw it in my mind. And it just thrilled me.
And he asked… I was telling him on the way home, and he said, “Well, why didn’t you testify about it?” And I thought, “Well, I don’t know why I didn’t.” I was excited about it, and I know how it encourages people when you say things like that, but I just kind of held it into myself. But I want the Lord to know that I appreciate Him.
Golden Rain

There was two other people that confessed that they didn’t tell things that they seen, I’m going to too. Last Tuesday night I seen three spouts of rain coming down, golden rain. And it got so far down that it came out to the congregation from all three of them. And I praise the Lord.
The Arm of the Lord
March 2, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Brother Shelley
I was reading those sermons again. And I was making notes of them, and whatever, and editing, and moving things around. And all of a sudden while I was looking down on that page, that page just changed before me. It was no long a transcript, but it was like a video screen had opened up before me. And I saw again the Arm of the Lord.
But let me tell you what was happening this time. I saw the Arm of the Lord as He began to roll up the sleeve of that white garment. Hallelujah. Glory to God. I saw Him pull it up over His elbow like that, and when He did, He held up His arm. Mine don’t do it. Brother Mike’s will do it. See right there? Hold yours up, Brother Mike, and let me see. Mine don’t do it. Oh, hallelujah. Oh. Mine don’t bulge like His bulge.
But when he rolled up His sleeve and held it up like that… All I could see was His arm and His other hand, rolling up that garment. It wasn’t a sleeve like mine, but a flowing garment. When He got it rolled up, He just clenched His fist like that, and I could see the veins bulging out on His arm, all the way down to His elbow. And I heard a voice saying, “I am revealing to you My Strong and Mighty Arm.” Hallelujah.
Being Knighted
March 2, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I had the same experience Sister Shelley had over the same thing, but I didn’t testify about it either. It was very strange, but I thank God for it.

Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
For the Lord would say unto thee My people this day, it is My desire to pour out My Glory upon you. It is My desire to pour out My Glory. For it is My desire to fill you up to overflow you and let you pour out in My Glory.
Bring in the vessels, saith the Lord. Call in the vessels, for I will fill them if you will call them, saith the Lord. Yea, I will fill them up with My Glory. Yea, I will fill you and you shall fill them, for you shall overflow on others.
Yea, I will fill you up and you will call in the nations into My Glory. You will call into the nations, saith the Lord, and I will fill them. Yea I will fill them up with My Glory. I will fill them up.
And you shall build larger buildings. And I will fill them also, saith the Lord. For it is My desire to bring in My Bride. It is My desire to call them in. Yea, I will call them in this day, for this is the final day, the final ingathering. And yea, I will do it, so saith the Lord. Hallelujah
In Praise, We Wait Upon Thee
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
We wait upon Thee, oh God.
We wait and we wait upon Thee, oh Lord, in praise.
In worship and in adoration we wait on Thee.
Our hearts are lifted up to Thee.
We approach Thee in Your heavenlies.
We approach Thee with boldness this morning,
Lord, for You have crowned us with honor and favor. Hallelujah.
You have caused Your face to shine on us.
You have redeemed us with Your mighty hand. Hallelujah.
You have caused us to stretch forth in the Glories of the Lord.
You have caused us to stand in the open place. Hallelujah.
In the open place, where the Glories of the Lord are being poured out.
We exalt Thee. (Come on.) We exalt Thee. We magnify Thee, oh God.
We glory in Thee, oh Lord, our God and Maker.
Creator of heaven and earth. Creator of the Universe.
You’re God and You’re mighty.
You have engraved us in the palm of Your hand. Hallelujah.
Can a mother forget her suckling child?
Neither can the Lord forget them that are His. Hallelujah.
Remember me, Lord.
Our cry is the cry of the thief on the cross,
“Remember me, Lord. Remember me, Lord.” Hallelujah.
You have made the crooked paths straight.
You have made the high places to bow before our feet,
And we glory in Thee this morning.
We praise thee and exalt Thee, oh Living God. Living God.
(Tongues)
We exalt Thee.
We see the need of Your Presence.
We thank You for it.
The anthems of the heavens declare Your Goodness.
The anthems of the heavens declare Your Wisdom.
The anthems of the heavens declare Your Majesty.
For this we praise Thee in the beauty of Holiness.
May we come before Thee,
Lord, without the world hanging on us.
May we come before Thee with a pure heart and a clean mind.
May we come bearing and wearing the garments of praise,
for we have traded the garments of mourning.
We have laid aside the garments of heaviness.
We have been anointed with the garments of praise.
And we come before Thee with the garments of praise.
Let the budding of the trees declare new Life in thee.
Let the blooming of every flower sing an anthem unto Your mighty deeds.
(Hallelujah) Let every animal in the forest bow his head before Thee,
And acknowledge Thee in Your greatness, Lord.
And let us, Your children, be ever mindful of the tender leading of the Lord.
You said You did not desire to lead us with a strong rod.
But You desire to lead us with Your eye.
How can we be led with Your eye, Lord, if we can’t see you?
If we cannot see Your eye,
How will we know the message that Your eye declares?
Anoint us this morning with the eye salve of Your Spirit.
And let us see Thee, in Your Glory, in Your Glory.
The Glory & the Lifter of My Head

Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
You’re the Glory and the Lifter of my head.
You’re my strength and my shield.
My sword and my buckler.
You go before me to battle.
And Your Glory is my reward this morning.
It comes behind me to follow me in the battle.
Power Released by Praise
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Burgess & Interpretation given by Sister Carmen Lanier
[Unclear Audio] If you could see when they come from your heart, and they enter into My Throne room. If you could see the praises of your heart as they swirl around My Throne. Oh, if you could see the mighty unleashing of a power that will come forth as you praise Me.
As your praises are lifted up, you will see the awesomeness of My power as I unleash it. It has never been unleashed as it will be unleashed when you praise Me with a pure heart. When you enter into a perfect praise, what will be unleashed the world has never seen.
Oh, My children, praise Me. Praise Me with your heart, not with your lips, but praise Me. Enter in and give Me your all. Then you will see My Hand move.
God’s Glory Through the Clouds
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
And Sunday night when you were starting to anoint people, I saw the Heavens boiling. And it was like black clouds. And I’ve seen the clouds before, but I’ve never seen streaks of lightening come down. And as the lightening started to flash, at first, I thought I was seeing spiritual warfare. But I realized that what I was seeing was God’s glory.
Windows of Heaven
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Sister Jan Salvador
Last Tuesday when we were at service and we singing and praising and worshiping the Lord, I could see windows of heaven. And behind the windows were thousands and thousands of packages.

And they were ours to take.
Hunger After Me
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Lord said for me to tell you that some of you are not desperate for greater Glory. But the Lord would say unto thee this night, when you have finished walking through the dry place, when you have finished walking through the darkness, saith the Lord, you’ll scream unto Me for a touch of My Hand.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee in this hour, call on Me now and I will give you a taste of the things that I have prepared for you. But the Lord would say unto thee, if you cannot hunger for me now, prepare yourself for dark and dry valleys.
For the Lord would say unto thee, My people will hunger after Me in the last days, and I will give them bread from Heaven. They will thirst after Me and I will give them living water, saith the Lord. Call unto Me even this night, and I will visit you with a touch from My Hand.

It’s My desire to pull that Glory upon you. But greater things will come. This is only the beginning of the year, and dark days are coming, but don’t fear, My Bride.” Said, “Because My Glory will give you such a strength and power, that you can overcome the enemy.
Don’t fear, My Bride. Don’t fear, My Bride. I’ll be with you to the end. I promise that I will do it. Just yield to Me and keep yielding to Me, because I’m being pleased with your worship. But My Glory is only the beginning, what you see. For greater Glory will come upon you.”

All is being laid out. The wedding is ready. The wedding will soon be made ready. But prepare yourselves, My children, as you would prepare for a natural wedding, as you would give your all to prepare each and every thing, that it would be right. Make yourselves ready, My children. Make yourselves ready. Oh, make yourselves ready. Oh.
Gold Dust
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother David Omilian
Tuesday night as I was getting ready to come to church, I turned the light on in the room, and I looked down at my bed, and I noticed that the blanket was sparkling. So I looked really close, and it was covered in gold dust. And the first thought I had when I saw it is, “It must have come off my clothes somewhere from Virginia.”
So, I tried to think back, and the only time I had seen it on me the whole time I was there, was when I was anointed with it. And it didn’t even get on my clothes that evening. And I had a shower, so there’s no way that it came from Virginia. It was a few minutes afterwards I realized it was right in the same spot where I read my Bible and pray every night. And I want to thank the Lord for it.
Dressed in the Word
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
I saw Scripture falling all around me. I could see words, God’s Word falling all around me. And I didn’t understand it. And when you said, “Fire,” I thought, “Well, God’s Word is a Fire.” But I realized that He did tell us He would dress us in His Word. And to see the Glory of God come down, it’s living.
Coming Forth of the Bride
March 7, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
Tonight I didn’t completely obey the Lord. I kept hold off, because I didn’t understand why I was supposed to do it. But it was like the Lord was telling me to walk down the aisles like a flower girl, and to lay out the petals. And as I was debating how silly this was, could this be God telling me to do this, it was like He was saying He’s preparing the way for His Bride to come forth. And She is coming forth from all over. She is.
Heaven Opening Up

March 7, 1998 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshipping the Lord, while we were worshipping the Lord, I began to see in the Spirit something flowing down. But it startled me because it was mixed. I could see that I was not just one thing, but it was a mixed in color. And as I began to look closer at it, real dep at it, I could see that it was Oil, but it was mixed with Wine.
And the Lord said, “Tonight I’m pouring out the Oil and the Wine to restore the soul of man.” Hallelujah.
If you want your soul restored tonight, let God apply and pour in that Oil and Wine mingled together. Let’s praise Him for that.

It will be healing to his spirit. It will be strength to his bones. Yea, it will be healing to the afflictions and infirmities of his body. Yea, whosoever will minister unto the Lord, him will I favor, him will I honor, him will I strengthen and perfect, so saith the Lord.
Intercede
March 14, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
I’ve been feeling all this past week, just kind of weepy, and like I’m interceding, but I’m not sure about. And then tonight when we were standing here and we were praising the Lord, I felt like the Lord was saying that to intercede is like an ointment to a wound.
And it’s strength for that one that you intercede for. You may not even know who you’re interceding for, but when we do intercede, when we feel that, I just felt like the Lord was trying to tell me something a little new in my own life. But I just feel like intercession. And you’ve said that intercession, we need to intercede. And so, that’s jIust what I’ve been feeling.
Climbing Mount Zion
March 14, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Carmen Lanier
The words that came to my spirit were, “Think it not strange that there are battles up this side of Mount Zion. Think it not strange as you would enter into praise that all warfare would come against you. Think it not strange. The very enemy of your soul would try to hinder you from entering in.
You are climbing Mount Zion. Remember that it is a spiritual mountain that you are climbing. The enemy will hinder you from looking to Me, but do not stop. Do not stop your journey. Praise Me, and you will make progress. Praise Me, and you will make progress.

Why is it, saith the Lord, that many will not come in, yea, and you worry over your troubles, and over your trials and burdens, saith the Lord. The way has been made for you to stand in the manifest Presence of the Living God. Yea, enter in, saith the Lord. Do not be a spectator.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, do not choose the service in which you will enter in, and then not move forward in the next, saith the Lord, but come. The way has been made into the Holy of Holies. Yea, and you may stand in the Presence of My Shekinah Glory, saith the Lord. Come in. Remember My Word.

Prophecy given through Sister Annie Jones
Hear, My children. If you have a burden for souls, I will send you to the nations of the world. Be obedient to Me. I will knock at your heart, and let you know when I want you to go. And if I send you, I will take care of the finances.
For souls are out there, have to be delivered. And I promised that I will deliver My Bride from all over the world. So be of good cheer, My children, and pray and wait upon Me. For I do that what I have planned to do.
Families Going to the Nations of the World
March 16, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
“To the nations, to the nations. To the nations of the world.”
I saw the Lord doing something in the prophetic realm this evening. And I was reminded of a word that was given here just recently, concerning the year of the prophetic, and the year of the apostolic. And apostolic is the setting in order of the ministry, the church, the establishing of churches, the setting in order of places where people can worship in the Glory of the Lord.
And I see that beginning in the year 2000, this little church here, many brethren, brothers are going to the nations of the world in the year 2000, to establish contacts with many nations.
And then I see in years after that, I want to say the next year, but something keeps giving me 2002. I see families going, entire families. Something I never thought of. I see mothers, and fathers, and children going to visit the nations of the world. I see those going who aren’t even preachers, but going to encourage the nations of the world.
And when we see the scope of the world and the magnitude thereof, it is hard for us to see how we could make a difference. But we were chosen as forerunners. And we were chosen (on Sunday we heard) to be carriers of the Glory of the Lord, even as the Levites made the right choice, and they were chosen to carry the Ark, so have we been chosen to carry the Glory of God to the nations of the world.
Let us prepare in all things that we need to prepare in, so that in the coming year we can know where to go. And let us begin to believe now for a mighty releasing of finances, a mighty, mighty release of finances, so that when God gives the word, we can go without any hindrance of having to raise the funds.
Let’s believe. But I see it so plainly in the Spirit, brothers going first, setting the contacts. And I see a whirl… In fact, the Lord is giving me a word now, that just in that season… I don’t know if it’s in 2000 or into the 2002 that I saw.
I know that bothers some people, because you are expecting the rapture tomorrow. I’m expecting it too. But I know that God has an economy, and I know that He’s not coming one minute sooner than what He’s already planned to come. Amen. (Tongues)
But I even see myself with a suitcase. And I see myself making a trip, not only to the nations, but the Lord said, “All the way around the world. When you return, you will have flown around the world, from the East Coast, all the way back around to the West Coast. You’re going even,” He said, “to the islands of the sea.” Hallelujah.
The Lord said we’ll be hearing soon, even from some hungry souls, even down in the Hawaiian Islands. They’re very civilized islands, but we’ve never had contact in the ministry with anyone there. But God said, “Even in the near future, you’re going to have a call come for ministry. (Tongues)
Transported to Where We Are Needed
March 16, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Message in Tongues & Interpretation given through Sister Anne Tremain
[Unclear audio] Yes, as Philip of old was transported when he was needed, so can I transport you now. In this day can you be transported. I can do what I need to do to bring those people in, to satisfy their souls.
Don’t fear. Fear is torment. Don’t fear. Trust Me. I say unto thee this day, trust Me. I am your Heavenly Father. I can take you wherever I please. Trust Me, My children, trust Me.
Revival to Australia
March 16, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
As I was standing there we were singing tonight, “Let go and let God take you to the nations…” I couldn’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve looked at a world map, and specifically of the continent of Australia.
But I could see the shape of it. And God says, “I’m sending Revival to Australia.” Didn’t realize that it was cut up in a bunch of little nations, but He said, “I’m sending Revival to Australia.” And I believe it.
God Sees the Need
March 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Exhortation given by Betty Sister Omilian
I haven’t been in very many of Brother Branham’s meetings, but there is a Betty Martin from Edmonton, Betty and Henry. She said that, you know, these private like… A lot of people would go to Brother Branham and tell him their different problems and things. And she said, “I know,” she said, “That sometimes it almost looked like he was telling one person something different that another.
But God looked in the heart of each person, and God knew what they really needed.” And sometimes Brother Shelley might look like he’s doing something different, but I think if we’ll trust God and not weary in our hearts, that God will see the need and God will help us each one.
You Are My Glory
March 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother John Heisey
The Lord’s speaking tonight. The Lord’s saying, “Don’t you doubt in your heart that I don’t hear your prayers. Don’t you doubt that I don’t hear your praise. You’re looking for the Glory. You’re looking for My Glory. I say to each one of you, turn to your left, turn to your right, turn to the back, or turn to the front and look at My Glory.
You are My Glory. And how else could I pour anything out on the world except I pour My Glory out which is you. My people, accept it tonight. You are My Glory.” The Lord is saying. And I’d like to sing this song with it. I know the Lord will make a way for us…
Battle Within
March 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Sister Jane Shelley
I feel like the Lord spoke to me and said that when the battle has come from without, we’ve always bound together and fought with everything that was in us. And now this battle is within our own ranks. And we’ve got to bind together again with everything that we have and fight with every fiber of our being.
House of Deliverance
March 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
I just caught in the Spirit, the eyes of the Spirit. I feel like it’s concerning the meeting coming up as well as others, that God has chosen this as a House of Deliverance, a hospital of sorts.
But I saw a bunch of people already laying, of us, laying in hospital beds, that were supposed to be attending to those that were brought in for emergency care. God has already spoken to some that they’d be spiritual midwives. But we’re laying in the hospital bed. We’ve let things get a hold of us, put us in the bed, so to speak.
But God has wanted us to raise up in power and in His might, that we can attend to those that are coming in to be delivered and to receive strength and medicine from the Lord Jesus Christ.
He wants this to be a hospital. And He wants us to attend to those that are coming in to receive care. Oh, let us be about the Father’s business in whatever measure and capacity that He has called us to be. Hallelujah.
Heaven Is Open
March 27, 1999 (Saturday Morning)
Prophecy given through Unknown Person
For the Lord would say unto thee this morning, your praise and your worship has risen before Me, saith the Lord. Yea, it has risen before Me as an incense, saith God. Yea, as a vapor around the Throne, your worship has come before Me. And you are ever before My eyes this morning, saith the Lord.
And yea, I have caused an opening above thee, saith the Lord. Yea, even the Heavens are open unto thee, and My Glory is spilling upon thee, saith the Lord. Pour out your need before Me.
For the Lord would say unto thee, I will meet your need. If healing is what you need, the Lord would say unto thee, receive your healing right now. If encouragement is what you need, there is encouragement in My Glory. If deliverance is what you need, there is deliverance in My Glory.
Recognize Me, saith the Lord, and pull even in a spirit of unity. For the Lord would say unto thee, if you’ll come together in one mind and one accord, then nothing, saith the Lord, will be withheld from you. Nothing that you have need of, nothing that hoped for, nothing that you’ve prayed for will be withheld from you, saith the Lord, if you’ll come in unity right now, and receive from My Hand. For again I say, Heaven is open unto thee, and My blessings are spilling upon thee. Recognize Me, for I am in the midst, saith the Lord.
Incense Rising by Our Worship
March 27, 1999 (Saturday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
As we were singing that part, “We gave gathered in this place,” I could see people as priests before the Ark of the Covenant. And they had golden censors in their hand. I saw incense rising. And as it would rise, I saw golden drops of rain falling.
God said He would pour out His Glory on those who would worship Him and praise Him with pureness of heart.
We have gathered in this place…
The Glory Revealing the Answers
March 27, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Dream given to Sister Joyce Greeley
I dreamed that I was in the snack bar at a school. And it must have been a college, because the students weren’t children. They were young adults. And I was sitting there, and I looked, and I saw the gold on the tips of my fingers. And then I looked, and I saw it in the floor, kind of like little rivulets. And then it just began to multiply and become heaps.
And in my dream, the students were coming in, and they had small, black, little notebook-like things, that was their homework. But it seemed that they weren’t able to have done their homework, because they didn’t know the answers and they couldn’t find the answers.
And in my dream, we were scooping up the gold and dropping it into these books. And as we did, they got their answers. They knew their answers. And I didn’t feel any sneakiness about it, so I didn’t feel like it was a cheating sort of thing. And I felt like that it must be that it’s the Glory of the Lord that’s going to give us our answers.
And in my dream, when I looked in that open notebook after the gold had been piled into it, it didn’t look like gold anymore. It looked like meal, like cornmeal, or… Yeah, like a bread mixture, like a cornmeal. And I know that that would mean that it would be the shewbread, the Presence of the Lord.
I Am Made a Warrior
March 27, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
God was revealing to us, although we weren’t watching and seeing what was going on out there in the other religious world, God was still revealing to us many things, to keep us. And there is a kingdom… Read there in… Oh, please stay with me a few more tiny, mega moments.
The Prince of Persia withstood and tried to stop that angel who was sent from God to give Daniel the message. Oh, but the Lord, Michael, strong and mighty in battle, came forth from the Throne of God to loose up that angel and send him forth, drive back the Prince of Persia.
He was called “prince” because there are principalities and governments in the spirit world, in the angelic world, and in the demonic world. Archangels are high ruling and reigning angels. These princes and captains of evil, they have to be subdued.
So when I’m talking to you about subduing nations, I’m not necessarily talking to you about stopping Communism, or stopping this or stopping that in their national, literal form, or sense of government. But God is calling a Bride in the last days, who’ll be able to subdue the forces of evil that hang over a city, the forces of hell that hang over a neighborhood, the forces of hell that hang over a nation, the forces of hell that bind those we love.
And by the authority of the Holy Warrior, I believe God will give us the power to subdue even those spiritual wickedness in high places. And how will it be revealed to us? How will it be revealed? Through perfected praise.
So, don’t you tell me to quit dancing, and don’t you tell me to quit jumping, and don’t you tell me to quit praising the Lord. For it’s only in my praise that I’m going to be able to see God do what He said He was going to do. Hallelujah. Oh.
Someone say, “The Heavens are opened.” Someone say, “He is ministering…” Jesus. We’re talking about the Lord. Someone say, “He is ministering to us from under the cloud.” Somebody declare that right now, for the Word of the Lord is coming to pass even in this House right now. The Word of the Lord is coming to pass in this House right now.
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears. Let the weak say, “I am gibor.”
And the word “gibor” means “warrior or tyrant.” So when we read it, “Let the weak say I am strong,” that’s good. That blesses us. But in Hebrew it says something a little deeper than that. It said, “Let the weak say, ‘I am a warrior,’ or ‘I am a tyrant,’ or I am a conqueror.’” Hallelujah. Oh, I’m not just made strong. I’m made a warrior.
The Oil & Wine Restore My Soul
March 27, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
The Oil and Wine, the Oil and Wine,
The Oil and Wine is flowing down.
The Oil and Wine, the Oil and Wine,
The Oil and Wine is flowing down.
Repeat…
Restore my soul. Restore my soul,
The Oil and Wine to restore my soul.
Restore my soul, restore my soul.
The Oil and Wine to restore my soul.
It’s flowing down, it’s flowing down.
The Oil is wine is flowing down.
It’s flowing down. It’s flowing down.
It’s flowing down into my soul.
The Oil and Wine…. (Repeat)
The Oil and Wine, in ‘99,
The Oil and Wine in ‘99.
The Oil and Wine, the Oil and Wine,
The Oil and Wine in ‘99.
The Oil and Wine… (Repeat)
Restore my soul…
Revive my soul…
The Oil and Wine in ‘99…
Take Heed & Obey My Promises
March 27, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Message in Tongues & Interpretation given though Sister Annie Jones
Oh hear, My little Bride. Give heed to My Word tonight. The days are coming. I will show you more things. I will show you new things. Only through the ones who obey My Word, can receive what I have for them, because the days of Ananias and Sapphira are coming.
Hear, My little Bride. There are greater things in store for you if you just obey My Word and do My Word. I plead you over and over and over, but there’s still some of you go their own ways. There’s still some of you will do their own ways.
But I’ll give warnings tonight again, “Take heed, take heed, take heed.” The days are coming of Ananias and Sapphira. Take heed, My children, take heed. I am your God. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will never change.
Pray hard, My children. Might be coming times that you don’t feel like praying. Your pressing I know is hard on you, but I’ll be at your side. I am at your side. I will lead and guide you, My children. Just look on Me.
But do My Word. Do My Word. Obey My Word. Obey My commandments. And I will show you greater things to come. I will pour out My Glory upon you, My children. I will do that what I have promised.
Pouring Out the Oil & the Wine to Restore the Soul
March 27, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I began to see in the Spirit something flowing down. But it startled me because it was mixed. I could see that it was not just one thing, but it was mixed in color. And as I began to look closer at it, real deep at it, I could see that it was Oil, but it was mixed with Wine.
And the Lord said, “Tonight I’m pouring out the Oil and the Wine to restore the soul of man.” Hallelujah. If you want your soul restored tonight, let God apply and pour in that oil and wine mingled together. Let’s praise Him for that tonight.
Breaking the Ice & Entering the River
March 30, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I could see the River. In the Spirit, I could see the River, and I could see that the wintertime… You know, we’re coming to the spring. Winter is past. But I could see that there were some portions of the River that the enemy had tried to freeze over. And there was a large, thick slab of ice moving along the River.
But I could see the saints of God tonight as they began to dance on top of the ice. And it was causing that ice to crack. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Praise God. And as that ice began to crack, I could see the people of God going deep, submerging themselves in the water of the River. Hallelujah.
No longer rest on the top of the ice, but now in the River. And you know, I believe God’s telling us that we’re going to leave that place of being the “frozen chosen.” Hallelujah. Glory. And I believe the people of God are going to begin to flow in the River, not on top of the River. How many of you desire to be in the River? Hallelujah
Animals Wrestling, Representing the Nations
March 30, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
In the service on Sunday night, I saw two animals wrestling with one another. And I couldn’t recognize much, but finally I recognized that one of the animals was a bird, and that it was an eagle. It was wrestling with a furry, brown, furry-looking creature, that I couldn’t get close enough in the Spirit to recognize. They were wrestling together in a skirmish, just rolling. And I saw a blaze of fire, like would come across the sky like that, toward these two creatures. And when I looked, I saw the face of a dragon. And from the dragon that fire was coming.
And I don’t have the true, inspired interpretation of that, because I have not yet determined what the brown animal was. But the Lord revealed that the eagle was not prophetic. It was America. And so America was involved in the wrestling of this beast; which makes me think, just in my own thinking, that it’s referring to what’s going on with the NATO forces right now.
I believe that the dragon represented China. This is the year of the dragon. You might know that. And I believe it represented China. And when the fire went across toward these two animals…
I told my family on the way home what had happened, so it’s not something I’m just coming up with tonight. When the fire went across, the eagle began to withdraw, and I could see then… I’m concerned about China getting involved.
We received a call today, from the North Sea, on an island, from the North Sea, a sister who is there. And before our news agencies even reported it, she was able to tell us that Milosowicz was meeting with both German counselors and Russian counselors. Before the news media ever reported it, we had already received the phone call. And then the next newscast, they heard it. This sister was there, and she heard it direct. And she wanted us to pray, because the bombing is doing nothing, very little effect.
And the only reason why ground troops have not been sent in is, the slickness of our President. That’s the only reason why. Because it’s a very political thing right now, and people are so against what’s going on and what NATO is doing, that they’re protecting themselves politically. But the only way that anything is going to be accomplished, is for ground troops to go in, unless God just does it supernaturally.
I know that’s not a popular thing, and I know many of you may disagree. But this man is horrendous, what he’s doing. And they told us today that he has settled in on a valley. His armies have gathered on a mountain, and they’re shooting down into a valley where several hundred thousand ethnic Albanians are camped in tents.
They were ran out of their homes months ago, and they settled in this valley. And because of what NATO is doing, they’re standing on the mountain, shooting down and killing these people who have made their home in tents in this valley.
God is able to do something. There are souls there, and we must pray, because I feel the need for swiftness, lest China become involved. It’s serious. You may think it’s just a little skirmish, but this is serious business. Please pray with me that God will let His angels bring swift justice. And there are people there who have souls that need the Lord. I believe God could reap a harvest in that valley of murder. I believe the angels of the Lord could reap a harvest in that valley of murder.
Preparing for the Day of Deliverance
March 31, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the belly of hell shall belch forth those that are Mine, saith the Lord. For you have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you. And yea, you have not chosen those that are Mine, I have chosen them, saith the Lord. And I have allowed many of them to be swallowed up, even in the prison of hellish, yea, hellish chains. I have allowed many of them to be swallowed up in addictions, saith the Lord, in bondage.
But I have protected them there for a reason. Yea, I am preparing for the Day of Deliverance. The prison house of hell shall belch forth all that are Mine. Yea, for the wicked one cannot hold those that are in the mind of God. Yea, I say unto thee, I have seen them, as they have sat in the dead churches, as they have listened all to man’s traditions, saith the Lord.
And I have seen those of Mine that have been bound in sin. Some bound by religion, others bound by sin. But the Day of the Lord is swiftly approaching, and I will bring forth all that are Mine. Raise up, oh Zion, and rejoice in your King. For deliverance shall be upon spiritual Zion. So saith the Lord.
This Is the Ordained Hour
March 31, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophecy given though Brother Shelley
For the Lord shall spring forth speedily from Zion. Yea, and I, the Living God, shall place My Word in your mouth. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am getting ready to draw My people forth from the belly of the whale. Yea, for she has been swallowed up, saith the Lord. Yea, it was because of her own rebellion. Yea, and her own disobedience.
Yea, it was the fish that I prepared, but yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am getting ready to come forth from Zion, yea, from the spiritual City, from the spiritual habitation of the Living God. And I will bring forth My people, yea, those who are standing on Mount Zion, and those who are yet waiting, waiting in the belly of the whale. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, they are there because of their own choices.
But I, the Living God, will bring them forth, and I will place them with thee upon Mount Zion. And the final harvest of souls will speedily break forth, saith the Lord. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, the nations will shake, and spiritual kingdoms, yea, of the wicked one, will crumble.
For I am birthing a people, saith the Lord. Even as a child is brought forth from the womb of his mother, I shall bring forth My people, yea, from the womb that they have been hidden in, even in the belly of the whale. As I prepared a place for Jonah, yea, I have allowed many, because of their own choices, to find themselves locked in their own disobedience, in their own laziness, saith the Lord.
But as you praise Me on Mount Zion, and as you allow My Glory to come and move among you, I will give you the Voice of Resurrection, and you will call forth those others that I have chosen.
For I say unto thee, other sheep I have, that are not yet of the fold. But I will bring them forth, saith the Lord, because of your prayer, because of your praise, because of your obedience. Watch and wait, and prepare, for I will spring forth speedily from out of Zion, and visit My chosen, My elected, My predestinated, saith the Lord, and she will call forth the Glory of the Lord.
And the Glory of the Lord shall fill the earth, saith God, and only My Bride will fully walk in the Revelation of it. For I am preparing her for her future home, yea, the spiritual Jerusalem. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for the Day of the Lord is at hand. Hear My Voice, and prepare thyself, for this is surely the ordained hour, and I have surely chosen this place, saith the Lord, to prepare a portion of My people. Prepare ye the way of the Lord! (Tongues)
Shout with the Victory of the King
March 31, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Wait upon Me, saith the Lord, for all that you have need of. For yea, I will provide for thee, saith the Lord, all that is needed to do the work that I have called you to do. Yea, I will not only provide for you in the natural, saith the Lord, but I will provide for you in the spiritual. Yea, I will dress thee, saith the Lord, in the armor of God, and prepare thee for the final battle.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, there is a great stirring in the underworld, and the very forces of hell are nervous in this hour, for they know that something glorious is about to come forth. Yea, they know that My Kingdom is about to be established, saith the Lord. No man nor devil can stop My Kingdom, for I have purposed it for this day, saith the Lord.
Do not worry, but wait upon Me for all that you have need of. Earnestly and diligently seek Me, and I will add unto thee the portion that you are missing, and I will give unto thee the Anointing that you are lacking. And I will grant unto thee the wisdom that you are needful of, saith the Lord, if you earnestly and diligently seek Me. For I am seeking warriors, saith the Lord, those who will bear My cross to battle, those who will wave My Banner in the face of the enemy, and shout with the victory of The King.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, “Shout unto God with a voice of great triumph, for the Lord has conquered death, hell and the grave.” And I will have a people who will defeat the last enemy, even the last enemy, yea, which is death. I will have a people that will come forth in rapture and in resurrection, saith the Lord.
Intercede for the Nations
March 31, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Can you not hear My people calling? Can you not hear the nations, as they call to you? They’re calling for Revival. They’re calling for Glory. Oh, can you not see them, saith the Lord? Open your eyes. Open your eyes. There are many souls waiting, saith the Lord. There are many souls hanging in the balance.
Yea, intercede for them. Intercede, saith the Lord, and I will send My Glory. I will send you with My Glory. I will send you with Revival to the nations. Oh hear them, saith the Lord. Hear them, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah…
Star of David Dripping with Oil
March 31, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I saw in the Spirit the Star of David being submerged in a large pot, a silver pot of oil. The Star of David, submerged in a silver pot of oil. And when it was brought back up out of the oil, I could see the Oil of the Spirit dripping off the Star of David. And I saw a Fire from God, that came from right out of the heavens, and ignited this Star of David.
And because it was saturated in the Oil, it began to burn. And it burned. And when the Fire began to flicker around and the flames began to lick around the Star of David, I could see all the different colors of the Rainbow. And God said to my spirit, that we are releasing, by our praise and by our intercessory prayer, we’re releasing the Anointing of God toward the chosen of the Lord, toward the nation of Israel.
And the Lord said, “The time for Israel’s Revival is coming, even near.” And as we worship the Lord and move into the deeper realms of the Anointing, God said, “The eyes of the Bride will see Revival for the nation of Israel.” Hallelujah. The Star of David!! Thank You, Jesus.
Between the Wings of the Cherubim
April 1, 1999 (Thursday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
While we were singing, I keep seeing the angels before the Ark, over the Ark rather. And I keep seeing the Glory of the Lord, the Glory-Cloud, as it’s descending over the Ark. And the Lord said, “I will meet you there. I will meet you between the wings of the Cherubims. I will meet you in My Glory. If you will come, saith the Lord, if you will come with worship, I will meet you between the wings of the Cherubims. Yea, bring your offerings, brings your sacrifice, saith the Lord. Bring incense before the Ark, and yea, I will meet you in My Glory. So saith the Lord.
Know This, It’s Time
April 3, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord a little earlier in the service, I kept seeing in the Spirit the face of a watch. For some reason I knew it was a, not a clock but a watch. And the face of that watch appeared to be the… The luster of it appeared to be like “mother of pearl.” How many of you know what that looks like? The inside of the oyster, like the mother of pearl.
And I could see the numbers on the watch were standing out. They were raised, black numbers. And they were raised. And I was straining to see what time it was, and I was crying in the natural. I was crying. And in the spiritual, when I was looking, I was looking through those tears. And so I couldn’t see the time. I kept struggling to see the time. Silly me, I was wiping my eyes in the natural, because I was crying in the natural, thinking that would clear my spiritual vision to see the time. It didn’t work.
But I could see the luster of the watch, and I said, “Lord, what good will it do me if I don’t know what time it is?” And the Voice of the Lord spoke and He said, “Know this. It’s time.”
My question was, “What time is it?” And the Lord’s answer was, “Know this, it’s time.” We may not know what time it is, but the Lord said, “It’s time.” Hallelujah. It’s time for the Lord to have a people that He can work through, that He can trust, and that He can use for the nations. Hallelujah.
In the Presence of the Lord
April 4, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
When we’re standing in the Presence of the Lord,
There is peace and contentment evermore.
There is rest for the troubled soul.
There is healing to make you whole,
When we’re standing in the Presence of the Lord…
When we’re standing in the Presence of the Lord,
There is peace and contentment evermore.
There is rest for the weary soul.
There is healing to make you whole,
When we’re standing in the Presence of the Lord…
The Word is revealed in the Presence of the Lord.
The Word is revealed in the Presence of the Lord.
The mysteries, they are made plain, Jesus Christ ever the same.
The Word is revealed in the Presence of the Lord…
The Word is revealed in the Presence of the Lord.
The Word is revealed in the Presence of the Lord.
Every mystery is made plain; Jesus Christ is the same.
The Word is revealed in the Presence of the Lord…
Walk in My Ways
April 4, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Brother David Omilian & Interpretation given though Annie Jones
Oh hear, My little Bride. I have enjoyed your praising and your worshiping. I will pour out My Glory upon you, if you walk in My statute and in My Spirit. If you obey My Word and do My commandments, I will show you more than you ever have experienced before, because this is only the beginning, My children. You will see greater Glory coming upon you.
But just walk in My Word. Live that Word, My children. How much more can I show you? You have heard it over and over and over. I have used My servant to preach that Word. And I explained it in simplicity. If you just open your ears and your mind and your heart, I will fill you more and more and more. I love you, My children. I love you. Just walk My ways, and don’t do your own ways any more, but do My ways.
For I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And I’m your God. Don’t forget, My children, don’t forget. The days of Ananias and Sapphira are coming for those who reject My Word. I love you, My little Bride. I love you.
The Glory Falling
April 4, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I see Your Glory falling, I see Your Glory falling, I see Your Glory falling tonight… As we were singing, “The Heavens are open,” I could see clouds. And I saw golden rays of sun shining down. I saw the heavens opened, and the Glory of the Lord shining down like golden rain. Hallelujah.
The Twenty-Four Elders
April 6, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I just saw the same gems in a different light. I saw them on the crowns of the twenty-four elders. And I saw them fall down on their knees and cry, “Holy, holy. Be blessing and glory and honor and power and strength forever to the Lamb.” Hallelujah. Could we sing that again? Hallelujah.
Sifting Out the Gems
April 6, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I could see a vessel. And I don’t know what you call it, but everyone will know what I’m talking about. It’s the instrument that the miners would use in gold mining, the pan. But it is a screen underneath, so that it sifts out. (So I don’t know if you’d call it a sift, or what you’d call it.)
But I could see this pan shaking like this. And the whole pan was full of rocks, ugly rocks and mud, dirt, junk. But as the shaking motion back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, some was sloshing out the top. Some of the rocks were falling out of the top, and other things were sifting through. And so I saw a vessel of water come. And there was water poured into this sift, and that caused the mud to turn loose and rush out the bottom. And finally, there was more of this motion.
And as I saw in the Spirit, beautiful uncut gems. Large, beautiful gems began to appear, maybe twenty or more in that. And the Lord said, “See, it didn’t look like anything when I started shaking.” Glory to God. Just junk. (Ha, ha, ha, ha. Glory!) It looked just like something you would dig out of the back yard. It didn’t look like something that come out of a very promising river, you know, but just out of the… Just junk, muddy rocks.
But as some began to fall out and the water came, the vessel poured water, and it caused the dirt to turn loose. And in that, when God began to shake, there were some beautiful gems being exposed. They weren’t cut yet, but we know the Gem-Cutter, don’t we?
Let’s believe God’s going to reveal to us beautiful gems, precious things in the Spirit. And let’s believe that He who gives them to us and reveals them to us is able to cut them. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Thank You, Jesus.
Wrap in My Anointing
April 11, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given to Brother Shelley
For this is the hour of going forth. And this is the hour of raising up. And this is the hour of taking Me upon thee, saith the Lord. Even as a cloak, yea, even as a coat, even as an armor, saith the Lord. Yea, this is the hour of taking My Spirit upon thee, and wrapping in it, said God, and cocooning in My Anointing, until I have accomplished the great and mighty metamorphosis, the great and mighty changing of the mind of the flesh, destroying the works of flesh and exalting the work and the mind of the Spirit.
Take upon yourselves the Glory of the Lord, and wrap in My Anointing. And I will transport you into heavenly realms. And I will reveal to thee the nuggets of the Kingdom, saith the Lord. The little jewels of My Kingdom, the little Glories of My House I will drop into your spirit, and you will tell them to others, and others shall be blessed, saith the Lord.
Sacrifice for My Word
April 11, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Message in Tongues & Interpretation given through Sister Flo Hendrix
Hear Me! You better arise from your sleep, for the time draweth nigh. It’s time that you do the work that I’ve called you to do. You’ve been sleeping and you’ve been in a bed of ease, but it’s time you sacrificed for My Word.
I call upon You this day to do the work, and start the work that I’m calling you to do, because the signs are here of the time. Wars and rumors of wars, and the beginning of troubles. And I call upon you, I’ve set you aside to do a work for Me. It’s time that you rise from your sleep. It’s time that you stop the petty complaining about the things that’s happening to you.
“Somebody don’t love me. Somebody looked at me.” It’s time you stopped that. Stop petting this flesh and start to do the work that I’ve called you to do. It’s going to be a sacrifice but there will be a reward in the end.
Hear Me, My children, today. You start the work that God has called you to do. You’re special to Me. I’ve set you aside. I’ve let you go through many things that you be trained for this day. If you think that this world is not evil, go out and mix in it, and come back into this House. You will feel My very Presence.
This place is special to Me. Ye are the apple of My eye. I did not bring you this way today… It’s not just a happening, but I brought you. It’s not an accident that you’re here. I’ve brought you here. It’s not an accident that you went through the hard times of life that you went through. It’s not an accident.
I am God, and I call all things. I see you. You’ve been in a bed of ease, but it’s time you come out now, and do the work that I’ve called you to do. (Tongues) Hallelujah.
Wheel Within the Wheel
April 11, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see now the angels moving in the wheel. They’re moving in a circular motion, in the motion of the wheel as Ezekiel saw them. This wheel goes completely around the Throne of God, and Jesus is at the center of this angelic wheel. I was wondering, “Why are the angels moving in this wheeled-motion?” And now I see other ranks circling them. So there are three or four different circles going at one time. Wheels within wheels, as these angels are moving in a holy union around the Throne of God. And I’m wondering, “Why?”
And the Lord is speaking to me about that perfect order. And this movement around the Throne is typing out the perfect order of God, that’s getting ready to be revealed to His people. Because you’ve said, “I can’t live without knowing God’s perfect will,” and the Lord said, “I’m getting ready to reveal My perfect will and My perfect order. It’s coming from the Wheel in the wheel. Jesus, the Throne, is at the center of the wheel. “My will is being revealed from the Wheel within the wheel.”
Perfect order for your life and for the Body of Christ, and the ministry that I’ve raised up to reap the final harvest. So prepare yourself to receive the Divine Order and Perfect Will of God. It will come as a Revelation. Oh hallelujah. What a beautiful sight. Angels moving in and out in a circular motion. You’re the Wheel within the wheel, Lord. You’re the Center of the wheel. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
Divine Unity & Purpose
April 11, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see the heavens open this morning, and I see before the Throne of God. The angels are gathering together for holy warfare. The Voice of the Lord is saying to me that, “All that is happening in the heavens, is typing out in the heavens and being played out in the earth.”
And the Lord is saying to me that when the earth, and when the Bride of Christ that’s in the earth gets in holy rhythm and holy sync, holy pattern, divine order with the heavenlies, that God is going to put His final thoughts in action in the earth. And I can see the angels gathering in holy armor this morning, preparing for war.
The Lord is saying, “When the Bride begins to gather her armor together…” And I see that the angels are standing in such a divine order as I’ve seen them before, shoulder to shoulder in holy rank, with one mind, and one goal, and one purpose, and that is: to fulfill the will of God. And I’m reminded in the Spirit right now, that Jesus said, “I can do nothing, except it be revealed to Me by My Father.”
And even the ministry of Jesus, (The Lord is teaching me right now.) that even the ministry of Jesus in the earth could only be carried out by what was going on in the heavenlies. As the Spirit of the Father would reveal it to our Lord in the earth, it was being carried out. And even as it was so in that day, it is so in our day. We need to be doing that which is revealed to us from heavenly places.
The Lord is saying for me to declare this morning, “That when the Bride of Christ joins herself together, arrayed in the battle-gear of the Spirit that’s been provided by the Word of God, and we begin to stand shoulder to shoulder, the Lord said, ‘I will reveal unto thee the battle-plan’.”
You’re standing in the midst this morning, not knowing the plan for battle. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, an army doth not have need to know the plan of the battle, until the army is prepared for battle. Prepare yourself, even as heaven is preparing, and let the saints arise, even as the angels have risen together.
Then in that hour when you stand in “Divine Unity and Purpose,” I will reveal unto thee the final battle plan, the Final War of the Ages. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, let me whisper to you, that the victory is yours. It belongs to My children. Rise this morning and seek the will of heaven. Seek the mind of heaven, and I will reveal it unto thee, saith the Lord.
Walking in His Authority
April 11, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Carmen Lanier
I want to thank the Lord. And I feel like the Lord is telling me to speak something that He had spoke to me several months ago. I have to read part of it so I don’t get confused, because He spoke something else to me this morning.
On January 24 in the a.m. service, He spoke to me that He had walked through the dark corridors of the prisons throughout the ages, setting the prisoners free. And He told me that He was setting the battle, and He is placing all things in order, and that He possessed the key, and that the key was perfect love.
Well, all week long as I was praying for Cindy, I know that she lives in prison. She may walk, she may talk, but she lives in prison. And on Thursday morning it was like as I was praying, I saw rays of light shining down into the dungeon that she lived in.
And this morning before she got here as I was praying, the Lord showed me walking through the prison doors, or the corridors of time. And I realized as I was walking, and the demon forces of darkness that God overcame, I was walking in His authority. I smelled like the Lord. I wore the clothes that He put upon me and I did possess the key, and it’s… And I know that’s not just for me, but I know that the Bride of Christ will unlock the prisons that they live in, because of what He has done.
It’s Just About that Time
April 13, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And I began to see a vision. And I couldn’t see the end of it, but I saw a group of people passing through a labyrinth, like a maze. How many of you know what a labyrinth is, or a maze? I began to see a group of people passing in union, in a clump, in a group, a fairly large group, not a multitude, but a fairly large group passing through the entrance way of this labyrinth or this maze. And they were moving.
I could see down upon the maze. And I could see at the end, the Glory of the Lord was waiting. I just have to believe it was eternal life at the other end. All I know is, I could see a golden Light at the other end. I was able to see the beginning from the end, because I was looking down upon it. I was able to see some detours, you know.
You go into the restaurant sometimes, and they have a little place mat there for the kiddies. And they have a maze there. And you take your pencil or your pen… Probably some of you take it away from you children, so you can do it yourself. And you take your pencil or your pen and you trace through this maze from the beginning to the end. And if you do it quickly, then sometime you have to go back to out here in the main channel. You know what a maze is.
I could see that this group of people were moving along as a unit, as a group, as a clump together, for some season. Even when there was a turn, they were all making a turn. When there was a turn to the right, they were turning to the right. When there was a little corridor to the left, they were making a corridor to the left.
But the Spirit of God said, “It’s just about time.” And I thought, “My, that’s good. That’s positive. That’s spiritual, and a good sign.” But in actuality it was not a good sign at all. Because at that moment, that group that had been moving along as a unit, they began to disband. And several went this way, and several went that way, and several went the other way. And those who were moving along to go straight forward, they just seemed disoriented because of the disbursement of the group.
And I hadn’t thought of that. Never seen it, never read it, never imagined it until I was standing here. And believe me, brother, the atmosphere in praise and worship tonight was tense. And it was a real effort to see anything in the Spirit in this service tonight, because we may not have all come to worship God with all that we have. But I believe there was enough of us who did, that God wanted to speak. But I’m just telling you it was hard to see the mind of the Spirit.
And I asked the Lord as I began to see the disorientation of those who had been moving straight forward. I thought I would just tell it right then, but the Lord told me so sweet in my spirit, “Save it for the message hour.” And I believe there’s a reason for it.
I began to ask in my heart, “What is the time? What did that mean when a voice said, ‘It’s just about time,’ and all of a sudden there began to be a disbanding of the group, and some began to go this way.” And it even appeared that some of the corridors were leading downward, as though they were going down toward a basement. And it even appeared that some of them were slippery, because I saw some reaching to try to find a rail. But there was no rail there to help them down the way, down these little embankments. And here’s people going.
So in the Spirit, quickly, struggling to see, because I didn’t know at what moment it might lift from me, I was struggling quickly to see the whole maze or the whole labyrinth, to see what was going on. (And I hope I’m saying that word right. I’m not sure if I am or not.) But I think I’m saying it easy enough that you’ll understand what I mean. And I began to ask the Lord, “What do you mean, ‘it’s about time?’” And here’s what He said.
Now I’m going to say this to you tonight. And you can take it any way you want to take it. You can get mad and get quiet and get pouty and get ugly and get human and, you know. You can just manifest a Lanier spirit, or a Salvador spirit, or a Heisey spirit, or a Hendrix spirit, or a Greeley spirit. You can just do anything you want to do, brother, sister. But I’m going to tell you what the Lord said anyhow.
He said to me as I was standing there… This is where we are right now as a Body of believers. Because of the Anointing that’s been moving here in the last little while, because of the understanding that’s being revealed to those who have a hunger as some testified tonight…
I don’t think that it is by chance that in the last two weeks we’ve sold one-thousand dollars’ worth of tapes. Do you? I think people are hungry for what God is saying in this last moment of time.
But the Lord began to teach me. “This is where we are right now, because of what’s going on, the majority of us” And I don’t begin to know who is and who isn’t. I don’t begin to guess. I’m not asking the Lord to help me guess. It wouldn’t be good sometime for me to know. But I see us, as we have been moving along together. You can feel the unity in the service. You can feel the expectation. You can feel like that people really desire a change from God in their lives.
But the Lord so spoke to me and reminded me standing right here. This is not the first time that we have been in this kind of position in the last nine years. There have come other seasons of moving-together. I’m teaching you.
There have been other times. Maybe it was an unusual, powerful Anointing on the preaching of the Word for a season, and everybody got real excited about that. Or maybe it was a season where everyone who was prayed for was just falling out in the Spirit. Or maybe it was camp meeting. Or maybe it was this, or that, or the gifts were beginning.
Remember last year when the gifts began to flow and the visions began to flow with a new and a fresh Anointing? God was helping me to see tonight, there have been many times that as a Body we began to move in a bulge. We’ve been able to move together as a unit and as a group.
But there comes a certain time that one or the other of us begins to take our own little path. And one or the other of us begins to follow our own dream, or our own leading, or our own idea. And inadvertently, the unity, and that Anointing that pushes us forth together as a Body, it’s broken. Sometimes one, sometimes half a dozen, sometimes a third of the Body is now in the depths of despair. Their attitude is changed toward the man of God. Their attitude is changed toward the Word of God. Their attitude is changed toward the House of God.
And those who were moving so beautifully together, as the angels were moving together in a wheel around the Throne of God… God was not only revealing to Ezekiel a vision of a coming Savior. He was revealing to Ezekiel the unity of the “Last-day-Church.” God was revealing to the prophet Joel the unity of the “Last-day-Church” that would make up the last army of God. God was revealing to many of the prophets of the Old Testament, not only what they needed to know for their day, but He was letting them look into another dimension and see the unity that must come.
As someone said the other night, “And the key is perfect love.” Even now, even now in the Spirit, as I’m talking, some are moving. You see. I watch some of you. For seasons you’ll worship and you’ll praise God. For seasons you’ll clap your hands as though you enjoy what’s being said.
For seasons you will weep. For seasons you’ll sing. For seasons you’ll be on top of things. You’ll move about and lay hands on others. But without exception, there always comes that plateau that the Spirit of God spoke to us about some time ago, where people begin to be satisfied with where they are. And without exception, someone begins to move in another pull, in another direction.
And I heard the Spirit say tonight, “It’s just about time for somebody….”
I’m talking about everyone remaining in their little seat where they always sit. I’m talking about everybody doing just about the same thing, basically, that they’ve always done. But spiritually here, this one starts going down. This one is depressed. This one goes down into this time of rebellion. And that one is going off in that direction. And I believe that tonight the Lord has given me this Word for anyone who will hear.
“You don’t have to be caught in the corridor of discord. You don’t have to be caught in the corridor that would take you away from the unity of the Body. You don’t have to end up in the throes of depression this time. You don’t have to let the enemy lead you to your seat of critical spirit, or the seat of cynicism. You don’t have to let the devil do that to you tonight, if you’ll hear the Word of the Lord that is unto you right now, and you’ll say, “God, shake me right now in this very hour.”
The Glory of the Lord, A Veil for His Bride
April 18, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw it this morning. As I was standing on the platform, I saw the Glory of the Lord come down across my right shoulder, and down toward this pulpit. And when it landed on the pulpit, I looked and saw a beautiful wedding veil that was piled up here on the pulpit. And the train of that veil cascaded down.
I rubbed my eyes. I’ve seen things in the Spirit for twenty-four years and maybe longer, but I rubbed my eyes for a moment and adjusted my vision. And there it was again. I could still see that veil. I could see the train as it piled up on the floor. The Glory of the Lord became a veil for the Bride of Jesus Christ to wear.
She’s been through the storm. She’s been through the fire. She’s been through the flood. She’s known tribulation. But when she comes out of this old wilderness, she’s going to come out leaning on her Beloved. She’s going to come out with her head in His bosom. She’s going to come out smelling like the Holy Anointing Oil. That’s going to be her perfume.
For Thy Light Has Come
April 18, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
But I hear the Spirit saying even now, “Awake. Awake. Awake. Awake. Awake. Awake. Awake. Arise. Arise. Awake, and shake off the dust, for thy Light has come.” (Tongues)
Slip your hand to heaven. “For thy Light has come.” Somebody praise Him that your Light has come. Shake thyself. Arise from the dust, for thy Light has come.
The Earth Is Filled with The Glory of the Lord
April 25, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
As we were singing that song, I could hear the prophet Isaiah as he said, “I saw also the Lord seated upon a throne. He was high and lifted up and His train filled the temple. And the angels cried, ‘Holy, holy, holy.’ The earth is filled with the Glory of the Lord.” Hallelujah. He is holy. Hallelujah. Holy, You are holy…
Caught in the Sand Trap
April 25, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’ve seen in the Spirit tonight, several ones, several individuals in this service, laying on the beach. Four or five of you that are here this evening, I see you in the Spirit lying on what looks like a beach. And I know that everyone here has had probably an experience when you were small, in the sand, playing in the sand.
I remember taking my hand and laying it in the sand at the edge of the water, and letting the water come and rush over my hand. And the sand would deteriorate or vanish away. The impression of my hand would be left there. You’ve played those kinds of games in the sand.
But I saw some laying tonight on the edge of the water of a beach. And I could see the water in tides, coursing up over you. But it was only eating out from around you, and eroding. That’s the word. Eroding away the sand around you. And your hole was becoming deeper and deeper. Can anybody see that? I mean, at least by what I’m trying to describe?
Every time the course of the water would come up, the tide of the water would come up over you and then wash back away, it was only eroding the sand around you, causing your, your, the image, you know where your body was laying, the hole was becoming deeper and deeper. You were sinking in the sand.
And the Spirit of God said, “Because you did not put forth the effort to be in the flow, because you still refuse to let your life lead out in worship and praise, and because you refused to let the Spirit bring discipline to your daily life, because you refused to let God be your priority… Every time you sit in a service like this, the water courses over you, but all it’s doing is eroding out from under you, and you’re going deeper and deeper.”
And the Spirit of God… You know I don’t play golf. But I know there’s a term in the golf course called “the sand trap.” You get over in that place that’s cut out of the green, and it’s full of sand. And oh, they struggle to get that golf ball out of the sand. Because you hit with your force, but the sand keeps you from getting the momentum that you need, and it doesn’t go very far. And the Spirit of God is giving me that word, “sand trap,” tonight in the Spirit, as some of you allow the water to course…
I’m probably repeating myself, but I’m fearful that I’m not explaining it well enough. As the water would course over you, it causes you to go deeper and deeper in the sand trap. You’re losing that sensitiveness to the Spirit of God.
That’s the fearful part of the River. The River comes to bring life, but the same River that brings life can erode around you and cause you to fall deeper and deeper into that sand trap.
Someone needs to worship. Someone needs to call upon the Name of the Lord tonight, until God lifts you. I believe the only way out of the sand is to be lifted out. I don’t believe there’s any other way.
In fact, let me tell you what I feel now. I know that… Do you know some people can’t float? I know you think that anybody who gets in the water can float. But do you know there is an ingredient to floating?
You know how I put… I hope this isn’t bad. You know how I put myself to sleep when I can’t go to sleep? I relax from my feet up. I lay there and let my feet relax. I concentrate on my feet and legs relaxing. And I can feel that relaxation come all the way up, until… And I don’t know where it stops, because I’m asleep before it gets up here. You have to clear your mind. That’s not meditation of an evil kind or anything like that. That’s just what you have to do sometime when you’re tense. You’ve got so much on your mind, your muscles are…
And in order to float, you have to relax. That’s why some of you are sinking instead of floating, because you won’t just let go and let God. Let go and let God do what He wants to do in your life. We can’t be led of God until we surrender and relax. And you know, we’re fooling ourselves if we think we can lead other people or help other people, until we learn to relax ourselves. Let’s do everything we can tonight to enter into this service, so that we don’t go deeper.
Is there someone else could share something that would maybe make that word plainer or clearer, or something a little different that God’s putting in your spirit tonight? Someone said, “That’s kind of gloomy.” It doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t have to be if you’ll float. The only way you can get in that flow so the River can take you, the Spirit of God can take you, is to relax. Quit defending your way. Quit defending your way, and let God have His way.
Opportunity to Correct Your Course
April 27, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
“You’re a little bit out of line. Your priorities are just a little out of order. Your attitude is just a little hard. Your spirit is smelling a little sour, and I want to come and I don’t want to have to break you with a rod of iron. I just want to tap you back into line.
I’ve got a purpose in your life. I’ve got a desire that I want to carry out in you, and I’m giving you the opportunity,” the Lord says. “I’m giving you the opportunity to just correct your course, to see which direction you’re going in.”
A Day Marked for Deliverance
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister April Rains
I didn’t come forward before when they asked, because I thought the service was about to go in a different direction. But the last time they asked if anybody, if the Lord had dealt with them in any way, I heard the Lord say that this day was marked for deliverance.
Look to My Word
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Ruth Ann Heisey
[Unclear audio] …unto thee My people, don’t doubt. Resist any doubts or unbelief that come into your mind. Look to My Word, to what I have said, For I say unto thee, I have done great things. And I say unto thee, I desire to do large things if you will only ask, do large things in your life, My children.
For yea I say, I have poured out that great ointment of My Name at Calvary, and it’s working and alive today. And I say unto thee, ask largely, My children. Don’t doubt and un-believe. Oh, just resist everything. But just believe what I have spoken, and it’ll come to pass in your life.
For I have raised up a mighty church. And you have been called to be in My Bride, holy, pure and sanctified, and oh, just to be filled with the Holy Ghost is what I desire in your lives.
So yield unto me. Oh, just listen to the person that I have placed before you here, and it shall come to pass in your life, to stay away from the things of the world. They are not anything but death to you. Oh, just stay into the things that I have brought to you here into this great sanctuary that I have set aside for My Word to come to pass in this day. Oh, Jesus.
Fasten Your Eyes on Me
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Greeley
For about an hour, I’ve heard the Lord say, “Fasten your eyes on Me. You need a miracle? Fasten your eyes on Me. You need deliverance? Fasten your eyes on Me. Don’t look at your circumstances. Don’t look at your surroundings, but fasten your eyes on Me, and then you shall come out of your circumstances, like the man at the gate called beautiful, when he was grabbed by his arms and lifted to his feet, because of the Presence of the Lord.”
A Turning Point
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Joyce Greeley
The thing that has kept going over in my spirit as we were going around praying for others, was that today is the day of the turning point. And there’s something about a turning point. Everything’s different after that. It’s not ever the same again after you go through a turning point.
And I’m looking for great changes to go forth from this day forth. Also, when Sister Cindy was praying for me, as she was speaking in tongues, and in the middle of that she spoke to me in Spanish, just one word in Spanish. It’s a word that means so much. And I think the Lord is going to use her in a mighty way.
Because if He can use her that way with just one word for me, I believe that it’s a gift in her that’s going to grow and expand, and that she’s going to minister to people that she doesn’t know their language, but she’s going to minister to them in their language. And I think it’s a great and a wondrous thing that He’s getting ready to do.
Divine Order
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
But the Lord whispered in my heart. He said, “This may not be your order, but this is My divine order.” And oh, that’s what I… It brought me to my knees, because that’s what we’ve been asking the Lord for, is the revealing of His divine order. Hallelujah.
Opening of Prisons
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
When Chad was singing this morning, before we even got into the reading of the Scripture, the Lord spoke to me and said the prisons would be opened this day
Praise God. The opening of the Prisons. Hallelujah. Oh, you can do better than that clapping for Jesus. Come on. Prisons. Opening of the prisons. Prisons will be opened today…
For Such a Time as This
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Lord would say unto thee in this hour, “For such a time as this have gathered thee together under My wings,” saith the Lord, “and have I fed unto thee the heavenly manna of My Word. For such a time as this I have called thee to the Power of purification, saith the Lord, and I have desired to anoint thee with the ‘Oil of Myrrh.’ I have desired to anoint thee with the ‘Sweet Odors,’” saith the Lord, “that you might smell of the Goodness of the Lord God.
Yea, I say unto thee, the appointed time is upon thee, for thou hast found favor in My sight,” saith the Lord, “and you will stand in the Presence of The King, and I will lay upon thee the royal diadem, and give unto thee the Authority to finish the work. Yea, I say unto thee, the Word Foundation has been laid, but I will give unto thee the Authority to take My Word and to do the last work upon the earth, for this is the appointed time to reap the harvest of the Lord,” so saith the Lord. (Tongues) Oh, lift Him up.
Glory in the River
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
Have I not called thee into deeper places of worship?
And yea, you’ve come far, saith the Lord,
But there is more places in the River,
For it is a vast River, saith the Lord,
A River that cannot be passed over, saith God.
There is more, more, more.
And yea, the more you come into the River,
The more My Glory shall come to you, saith the Lord.
For the deeper you go in worship, the higher you go in My Glory.
And I’ve called thee to come to My Glory,
For it’s in My Glory that I change you.
It is in My Glory that you become more like Me.
Yea, you come in like yourself and you leave like Me.
So come into the River.
Come into the vastness of the River.
Come, saith the Lord.
Swim out into the deep places.
Do not be afraid of the River.
For yea, the current may be swift and strong.
But you shall not plunge beneath the waves,
But be carried by My Spirit into realms of My Glory, saith the Lord.
Missing Links
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see missing links being added to the chain. I see three or four places where the chain has been broken. But I see the Lord putting in beautiful links to the chain.
The Appointed Time
May 2, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I want you to know, Esther so beautifully types the Bride of Jesus Christ. How many of you already know that? You’ve already read the story; you’ve already been made familiar with the story.
But while I was away, in the middle of the night… I woke up one night, and God was dealing with me about Esther. I saw her in a vision, as I sat up in the bed. It was one of those unusual occasions when my wife and baby both were asleep. And I sat up in the bed, and I began to see a vision of little Esther. And I saw in a way that I had never seen her before.
I saw her as a plain little woman. I saw her as something not unusually attractive. I saw her as a kind of scrawny woman in appearance. I saw that her neck was real tall and skinny, kind of like a giraffe. I noticed that there were things in her countenance, her features, that were not unusually attractive.
And then I saw something happen to Esther. I saw something come down over her like rain, and it began to flow down over her. And I heard a voice say, “For such a time as this.” Then I heard a Voice behind me say, “The appointed time.” Hallelujah to God. And when I saw (Tongues)
The Lord would say unto thee in this hour, “For such a time as this have gathered thee together under My wings,” saith the Lord, and have I fed unto thee the heavenly manna of My Word. For such a time as this I have called thee to the Power of purification, saith the Lord, and I have desired to anoint thee with the “Oil of Myrrh.” I have desired to anoint thee with the “Sweet Odors,” saith the Lord, that you might smell of the Goodness of the Lord God.
Yea, I say unto thee, the appointed time is upon thee, for thou hast found favor in My sight, saith the Lord, and you will stand in the Presence of The King, and I will lay upon thee the royal diadem, and give unto thee the Authority to finish the work. Yea, I say unto thee, the Word Foundation has been laid, but I will give unto thee the Authority to take My Word and to do the last work upon the earth, for this is the appointed time to reap the harvest of the Lord, so saith the Lord. (Tongues) Oh, lift Him up.
In that vision, when I heard that voice behind me say, “The Appointed Time,” I saw that rain falling upon Esther. It was the Glory of the Lord coming down in little heavy drops. I could tell they were heavy drops.
Somebody said, “How could you tell they were heavy drops?” Because, as they hung suspended over her, I could see the weight of the drop stretching the tail. I don’t know if you know what I’m talking about or not, but I could see it coming in a tear-drop shape. It was like the shape of a tear drop, what we think a tear drop is shaped like. Rounded at the bottom, and kind of pointed at the top.
I could see those shapes of Glory rain coming down over this little plain looking woman, with a chiseled-out jaw, and a strong and prominent nose. And I could see, in the center of that drop, it was getting heavy, because the Glory of the Lord is bringing a heavy thing to us, a heavy Word, a full Word. Hallelujah. God’s doing a big thing, and a heavy thing in the midst of His people. Can you say amen?
But as that heavy rain of Glory began to fall down over her, I saw her in a way that I have never seen her before. Her neck was still tall. Her jaw was still chiseled sharp. Her nose was still prominent, but there was a Glory was emanating out of her, and I said, “She’s the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen in my life, for the Glory of the Lord has anointed her.”
“I know who that is. I know that’s the Bride of Jesus Christ. I know that she has been bathed in the Oil of Myrrh. I know the Lord lately has been bathing us in the sweet odors of His Presence, in the spices that are in the inclosed Garden of the Lord. Hallelujah. He’s been anointing us. Oh hallelujah.
That myrrh is “suffering.” It takes some suffering for your purification time to be extended. It takes some suffering. It takes some myrrh in your life. We know that already. But when that myrrh is finished six months… The number twelve is the number of “Divine Government.”
One of those sweet odors that Esther was anointed with… See, there is so much that you could preach there, but I can only get this one point. Hallelujah. One of those sweet odors that Esther was anointed with was Calamus. I spoke about calamus just briefly on Tuesday night, for calamus comes from a Hebrew words that speaks to us of Divine Order. And I want that Divine Order in my life.
And I believe God was telling me in that vision that it is the Appointed Time for Divine Order, because the number twelve speaks of Divine Government. Esther was six months with Oil of Myrrh, and six months with the sweet odors of the Lord before she could even come in. But, but the message is not this tonight. But if I could, I would preach this to you if I had time. I’ll just give you this little bit.
But I don’t want to speak on this tonight. I don’t believe that’s what I need to speak on. But I must just go and give you a little bit of what I’m thinking. How many of you know that it wasn’t just Esther, but it was all of the other kept women. That’s why the Word said, “concubines,” because they were kept women. They were women supported by the king, living in this place of the king, being purified to see who would come before him and be the queen. So the word “concubine” is there, not meaning prostitute, but meaning “kept woman,” a woman kept by the privileges and finances of the king.
How many of you understand in reading this verse that Esther was not the only one who was anointed with myrrh and sweet odors. They all were. They all went through that twelve months of purification. They all received the myrrh. They all received the sweet odor. And one by one, they all received their turn to stand before the king.
But I want you to know, when Esther stood before the king, it wasn’t the myrrh that spoke for her. It wasn’t the sweet odors that spoke through her, but it was the God who had come to live, who had come to take up His abode. It was the indwelling Spirit; it was the abiding Presence of the Lord that set Esther apart. We may all taste a little myrrh. We may all spend some time in the sweet odors of the Lord, but it’s only that abiding Presence of God, it’s only the Life of God in us that’s going to get us favor when we stand before The King.
I believe, anybody who is willing to taste the myrrh and taste the sweet odor can go before the king. I believe there are people of denominational walks, and all kinds of movements all over the world, that are gaining access to the Throne of God by spending time in the myrrh, and spending time in the sweet odor. But I want you to know, God’s got a people on the face of the earth that He has sowed, s-o-w-e-d, sowed His Zoe Life into them. He has placed His Life in them, and when they come before the King, the King will know His Life. He’ll recognize His seed. He’ll recognize those that are His, and we will find favor before Him. Hallelujah
Ripened Fruit
May 4, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, from behold, the Lord would say unto thee, even thy dead wood shall live again, saith the Lord. Even thy branch that has withered and dried, yea, the Lord would say unto thee, with My resurrection Power I will revive even the dead wood, saith the Lord. For yea, I the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, I am the same God that brought Life to the rod of Aaron.
And yea, his rod did bud and blossom and sent forth almonds, saith the Lord. And yea, even you, saith God, as dry bones shall live again, and yea, as dead, dry branches, saith the Lord, ye shall live again. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many dead branches I have cut off from the vine, for they were not of Me, saith the Lord. But many I have allowed to remain, for I left them there because they were Mine. And they were a part of Me. And even though they weren’t bearing fruit, I could not sever them, saith the Lord, because they were a part of Me.
Yea, I say unto thee, those dead branches shall live again. Yea, that dead wood shall live again. My Life shall flow forth even as the sap of a tree, saith the Lord. It shall flow forth from the midst of this place, and I shall rise up in Thee, saith the Lord, as the sap would rise up from the tap root.
Even through the trunk of the tree, and into the branches, My Glory shall rise up in thee, saith the Lord, and many shall live again. Look unto Me, saith the Lord. Behold My face, behold My Word, behold that which I’m doing in Your midst. For you shall live again. Oh, ye dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord. Oh, ye dead branches, hear the Word of the Lord. “Ye shall live. Ye shall live. Ye shall live and bring forth abundant fruit.”
Yea, even those who have refused My Life, yea, those who have refused My Life, saith the Lord, I have sought to revive Thee. I have sought to break the rebellion of Your spirit. I have sought to give thee restoration, and you would not, saith the Lord. You would not. Even you have stretched forth your hand toward Me, and not allowed My Life to flow through you.
And therefore, you have withered on the vine. You would not, saith the Lord, allow My Life to flow through you, because you knew that in order for My Life to flow through you, you would have to surrender your way and your will and your program. But the Lord would say unto thee, I have not severed thee, for I have looked upon thee even from the foundation of the world, and I have known that thou art Mine.
And even though, saith the Lord, I could have, I could have, I could have cut thee off, but yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have not. No, I have not severed thee, saith the Lord, for such a time as this you will live. I will come, saith the Lord, and live through you. My Life will flow through you, even though you have refused Me in the past.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will soften your heart. I will get your attention, saith the Lord. Yield unto Me, for therefore I shall give thee Life, and you shall blossom and bring forth. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, the ground underneath thee shall swell with the abundance of ripe fruit, for I shall come and gather it, saith the Lord, gather it unto Myself.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh. For even now, the air is filled with the aroma of ripened fruit. Ripened fruit. Ripened fruit, saith the Lord. It shall ripen upon you. It shall not rot upon you. It shall not fall forth until the season that I would call it. It shall ripen upon your branch, saith the Lord, and your leaves shall be green, and they shall shine forth with a touch of My Glory. Ye shall be fruitful and multiply, and your barns shall not be large enough to contain the abundance of fruit, so saith the Lord.
A Fruitful People
May 4, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Sister Ruth Ann Heisey
Oh, did I not tell thee that you may ask largely of Me? I have brought you into a large place, My family, My children, and I have planted you in My garden. I have planted you in My garden, and you will grow. You will yield and bear much fruit.
Oh. Just wait upon Me, My children and seek My Face. Lay aside those things that bother you, and hinder you, and keep you from coming to Me. Just lay those things aside, and dedicate yourself and your whole life to Me, and I will bring My Word to pass.
Brother Shelley:
I know that was the Lord, because He kept speaking to me, “Ye shall be a fruitful people, a fruitful people, a fruitful people.” Hallelujah. Glory to God. Thank You, Jesus. Hallelujah. Glory, glory, glory.
Sister Heisey:
Oh, I say unto thee, heretofore you have been under schoolmasters and teachers. But I say unto thee, My children, I set you free, then that you will walk and talk in Me and be delivered from all hindrances. Oh, you have been given the Tree of Life, and the fruit of Life shall be born in you, and you shall go forth in singing and song and merriment and joy. For you are in My Garden, children, anointed with that what I have placed inside of you.
Oh, for I have much to share with you, My children. I have much to share with you. Yea, while the world will go on into perdition and darkness, I say unto you, I have much to share with you. But just yield yourselves. Sanctify and cleanse your lives and walk and talk in Me, and I will bring it to pass.
Oh, I have anointed you with a great Anointing, that’s just been crushed out for you at Calvary. And it will bear its fruit in its season. Have I not spoken to you by great prophets that I sent to you in this day? And years ago, have I not spoken of these very things? And it will come to pass. The seed will come forth and bear fruit.
Tuning Fork
May 9, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
It seemed in the Spirit, as though I could see an old man with a tuning fork. He would strike the tuning fork, waiting for the pitch to resound, before tightening the string, like of an old violin or even a guitar.
It’s not what you interpret C to be. It’s not what you thing the key of G is. But there is a standard for C, and there is a standard for G. And we find these standards on the tuning fork or the pitch harp. It’s standard.
When I travel from church to church, I find out G on one piano is not G on another. And if you ask them, you say, “I think your G is a little high,” they’ll say, “It can’t be. It’s standard.” And yet everyone thinks their piano is tuned standard. But if you’re comfortable singing one song in G in one church, and you can’t reach it in G in another church, someone has forgotten what standard is.
It’s like time. I can set the clock on my automobile, and it can match the bank digital time. It can match the digital time down here on the Baptist Church today. But I can go by a few days later, and it might be a minute off. Every clock in my house has a different time on it. Go home and see if all of yours are the same. I’m ten minutes early by some clocks.
And you know what? There is a standard time. And it’s called Greenwich Mean Time. But who knows what that is? We’d have to contact them on the computer to know what time it really is, to found out what Greenwich Mean Time is. But we’re around the same time. We try to tune our clocks or set our clocks to keep the same time, but yet there is a real time. Do you believe that? There’s a real pitch.
And I believe in the Spirit as we were singing, “Tune me,” I could see the striking of the pitch, the little pitch fork. I could see the striking of the tuning fork. And I believe the Lord is saying, “That’s what I desire. I desire to tune you.” And remember when the tuning strings… When the strings are tuned, there’s a tightening.
Come Up Higher
May 11, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But I was just beginning to see a ladder let down out of the sky. It was a golden ladder. And I could see it being let down little by little. It sort of reminded me of the ladder that used to let down out of my grandmother’s hallway, to the attic. It folded up. How many of you have seen a folding ladder out of the attic? It sort of reminded me of that.
There used to be a little game… The pioneer children played with wood like that, flipped it down and it did like this. I could see this ladder unfolding like this, coming down. And I said, “Lord, it’s a golden ladder. I know where it leads.” But it stopped short of the earth. It didn’t touch the earth. It didn’t come all the way down. Listen to me. (Real soft). It didn’t come all the way down and touch the earth.
And in my mind, I could see people. I know people like this. I can just see them. I didn’t see it in a vision, but in my mind I could see this right now, people going… The ladder stops right here, but the bottom rung of the ladder’s up here. But I could just see people going like this, like Benjamin the other night trying to climb these steps. That top step was just a little too tall for him to lift his leg. He couldn’t quite get it high enough. And I could see people doing that.
And I heard a Voice saying, “Come up higher.” And I realized that the ladder wasn’t going to come down to my level. It wasn’t going to come down to the level of those people trying to take those little pitiful steps. But it was going to come so far, and you and I were going to have to meet the ladder. Come up higher. John heard that Voice, didn’t he? Come up higher.
And I was going to begin to sing, “There’s a ladder being let down from the sky. Come up higher. Come up higher.
If you’re expecting God to meet you on this plain, you’re going to be waiting. Because the Voice is not crying out in the Spirit in this hour, “I’ll meet you at the bottom.” He’s saying, “Come up higher. Come up higher. Come up higher, and I’ll show you a mystery. Come up higher, and I’ll show you a mystery.”
How many of you want to see a glorious revelation? Hear the Voice of the Lord saying, “Come up higher. Come up higher.”
A Covenant with You
May 16, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given though Sister Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Greeley
Think it not strange when fiery darts shall come against you. For I have already forewarned you that this would take place, saith the Lord. This is why I have made a covenant with you, and I have desired that you make a covenant with Me, that when the fiery darts should be hurled your way, that you have a covenant, One who will fight the battle for you, saith the Lord, that He will rise up and cut down the enemy, that you can just stand and watch the Hand of the Lord, the mighty Arm of the Lord revealed right before your eyes.
Warfare Over the Service
May 16, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Betty Pilkenton
Some time ago I testified about seeing the Angel of the Lord, and also those two priests. In every service that Brother Shelley has preached after that, I would see the three of them. The Angel of the Lord always came first and immediately took his position to Brother Shelley’s right shoulder, while he was still sitting down. The two priests would come until he started to preach.
Most of the time the priests stayed on the platform, but the Angel would either walk down with him, or else walk back and forth from the platform to the front seat of the congregation. I have seen Him raise His Hands in blessing toward the congregation, but I have also seen Him very stern, scanning the congregation.
This morning the minute Brother Greeley began to lead the song service, the Angel of the Lord came and stood up high on Brother Greeley’s left side. And a short time later, the two priests took the position on his right. They stayed with Brother Greeley the entire time he led the song service.
I don’t know what happened when Jonathan took the service. I had my eyes closed in worship, and I was dancing. I didn’t see them when I have my eyes closed.
The Man in Linen and the two priests were standing beside Brother Shelley when he took the pulpit. He sang the song, “Too Many Miles Behind Me.” And I could see two demons. And they were an orangey, brassy, cheap imitation of gold. And I could see the two demons turn and run in the opposite direction when he sang that song.
Right near the beginning when Brother Shelley began to preach, I saw six demons fall, drop down from the ceiling. One of them was very big, and he took his position right over the pulpit. And within me I felt that this could have been Satan himself. And the others scattered towards the congregation.
Immediately the Man in Linen and the two priests positioned themselves in the front, and stood before the front pews in the center, to shield the congregation from that big evil one. From time to time, I saw the priests disappear. At the same time, the large demon would disappear, At the same time the priests would reappear, and after a while the big demon would come back.
But each time, he was more faint. The last time he was hardly visible. It looked like the priests had drove the demon away. After Brother Shelley had called the people to the altar and he sat down, I saw the Man in Linen and the two priests. All three of them stood by his right shoulder, and the Man in Linen seemed to be speaking to him. A few moments later, Brother Shelley got up and told us what the Lord had spoken to him.
I just want you to know that there is a real warfare going on. And Satan means business. And he’s out to kill. I can only admonish the people to run for your lives, your spiritual lives. I have such a burden. I know that there was more that needed to go to the altar, and I just can’t hardly stand it. I don’t want to lose a one of you. I don’t want to lose a one of you. Oh Lord, help us all.
I Am Coming
May 23, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues & Interpretation given through Lucy Huckaby
Speak, Lord. Speak, Lord. Oh yes, God. Have Your way, Lord. (Tongues) Be free, Holy Spirit. Be free. Be free, oh God. Don’t let that Anointing lift, Lord. (Tongues) Oh, Jesus. Hallelujah.
Would you just whisper to the Lord and ask Him to give someone the interpretation? I know the Lord is wanting to speak. Hallelujah. Lord, speak through someone. Find a vessel, God. (Tongues)
Yea, I say unto you, My children, I am in thy midst. Yea, I say unto you, I will be coming soon, very soon, very soon. Yes, My children. Yea, I say unto you, I will be coming. Yea, I say unto you, get closer and closer to Me. Draw closer and closer and closer to Me.
There’s a narrow road to travel. Yea, I say unto thee, don’t look to the right or the left, but stay straight and come to Me. I will meet you in the Heavens, saith the Lord.
Hallelujah, hallelujah… Thank You for the promise of Your coming, Lord.
Enter from Within
May 23, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain
This morning I, when we were… No, I think I was laying out up here. I saw this rain coming down, and it was real large drops. When it hits the water, it makes it plup back up again. And it was… I had seen this same pool in a vision several years ago. And then this morning…
Do you remember that little baby pool you talked about? You set one when you were… That little thing came in.
And I said, “Lord, are you trying to tell me that that pool is for somebody to get in to.” He said, “Not bodily, but from here.” He said, “Tell them. Tell them that the pool is there. If they’ll enter in from within here, from within themselves, if they’ll just get in there, they can have what they ask.” I tried to tell it this morning and I didn’t know how, so I just did. Praise the Lord.
Winds of Change
May 25, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Winds of change, winds of change, winds of change. (Tongues) For the Lord would say unto thee this night, I will send winds of change, winds of change, saith the Lord. Yea, I will change circumstances that are before thee. I will change feelings that you cannot escape from. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, there are many of you who have feelings and thoughts that you cannot change.
Yea, you’ve tried to turn loose of them, saith the Lord. You don’t desire to have them. Yea, they are not from your heart, they are from your mind. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am getting ready to send winds of change. They that wait upon Me shall know My changes. Oh, they that tarry in My Presence, they shall know the changes of the Lord.
Knowest thou not that change begins in the inner man? And I will send the breath of My Spirit over thee, saith the Lord. I will change your mind. Oh, I will change your mind. I will change your inner feelings, saith the Lord, for I am sending winds of change.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am changing finances for thee, saith the Lord, with the winds of change. Oh, the Lord would say unto thee, the binding of your finances, saith the Lord, if you will allow Me to send winds of change upon the spirit man, if you will allow Me to take your thoughts and give you Mine, if you will allow Me to bring you closer under My Arm, saith the Lord, I will loose your finances, even as individuals, saith God. Yea, ye shall lend and not borrow, saith the Lord.
And yea, I will change, saith God, even the position that you stand in now. Yea, for the gap is wide, saith the Lord. But I will narrow the gap. I will narrow the distance between thee and Me, and I will cause thee to be drawn underneath My wings, for I will carry thee on the winds of change.
Release yourself unto Me. Release yourself. For yea the Lord would say unto thee, everything that concerneth thee, everything that touches thee, everything that is in your scope, saith the Lord, and in the spectrum of your looking, I will blow over it, saith God.
Yea, I will blow over your children. Yea, I will blow over your grandchildren, saith the Lord. Yea, I will blow over every part of this ministry, every outreach, said God. Hallelujah. Yea, I will blow over your job. And yea, I will blow over your home, saith the Lord, with winds of change. If you will allow Me tonight, I will blow upon thee.
For My breath brings the winds of change. I will blow over thee in the hardness of your heart. I will blow over thee in the rebellion of your mind. I will blow over thee in the brokenness of your spirit, and I will mend. I will deliver. I will blow over thee in the infirmity of your body. I will heal. I will restore with winds of change. With winds of change. Winds of change. Saith the Lord.
Heavenly Synchronization
May 30, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw a heavenly vision, just quickly like that. And I saw a row of angels, just as straight as an army of soldiers. And they were moving their arms and their legs in the cadence of that song, just the whole… As the beat of that song, the drum, the piano, and the bass, and the musicians, the organ, as that beat was carrying out and Jonathan was singing it, in the heavenly realm, I saw that row of angels, moving in the cadence of that song.
I believe God’s calling His Bride to move in the same realm and the same atmosphere of Heaven. I believe that spiritual songs are really songs that are being sung around the Throne, and God lets people tune in in another dimension and pick up those songs.
But what I got out of those angels moving… You should have seen them like fixed soldiers they were moving in the rhythm of that song. And what it helped me, and what it did for me and what it spoke to me was: We’re getting closer. You and I as a Body, we’re getting closer to that time that we can say, “We’re moving in heavenly synchronization. We’re moving in heavenly unity with what God is doing.”
The prophet of God tells us that the things that go on in the heavenlies are typed out in the earth. The things that are going on in the earth are typed out in the heavenlies. And the Bible certainly gives us that as an example. So the more and more that you and I can tap in by intercession, by praise, by true worship to what’s going on in that heavenly atmosphere, then the quicker you and I can be set in divine order for such a time as this.
Draw Me, My Beloved

So draw me unto You.

Draw me, my Beloved.
Let me look into Your face.
My Beloved is mine, and I am His.
Draw me close to You…
I Will Be Your Covering
May 30, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw the Lord. He was high and lifted above His Throne. The golden countenance of the Lord shined brighter than the sun. I saw His feet were brazen, as they had been burning in a fire. And I saw words dripping from His lips like honey.
And I heard His Voice when He said, “Come. I bid thee come. Come and behold the Glory of the Lord.” I heard His Voice when He said, “Come and partake, for the table is spread. And I give you My Body.” Hallelujah.
I see His arms stretched outward, as if to draw you in. And He said, “I have not forsaken thee, but thou has turned from Me, and thou hast grown cold. But with tender mercies, with great compassion, I would gather thee into My bosom in this hour, if you would yield of yourself.”
For the Lord bid thee come. For the Lord bid thee come. And yea, I will cover thee with My garment, saith the Lord. And I will hide your nakedness. I will be your covering. Even as My blood has covered your sin, the cloak of My righteousness shall cover thee.
Yea, I shall cover thee in the place of slipping. I shall cover thee in the place of mistake. I shall cover thee in the hour that thou hast been naked before Me. I will not allow you to stand and tremble naked in the cold, but I will cover thee with the cloak and the robe of My righteousness, if you’ll draw near unto Me and praise Me, saith the Lord.
I’m Stirring & I’m Tasting
May 30, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain
This morning when Brother Shelley was talking to us about our loved ones, I can’t remember all that you said, but as you were saying that, I saw a big, wooden spoon. And I asked the Lord, I said, “What is that for?” And then I saw a little vision of me stirring that pot, and then tasting. And I know that the wooden spoon doesn’t have a very deep bowl. There’s just enough in there for you to get a taste of it. You can’t serve with it, just taste.
And the Lord said, “I’m stirring. I’m stirring and I’m tasting.” And I was thinking about that coming to church this evening, and I thought, “Well, if He doesn’t keep that moving, or if I don’t keep that moving, it gets kind of scorched and gets kind of not right down there. And so I just… I’m thankful for what you said today. It just really helped me a lot.
And then there’s one other thing. Today I went home with Elfrieda. And we were resting. And I had been asleep. And then something happened. I saw all of these, it was like sparks, just flying out. And I yelled and Elfrieda didn’t hear me. But I saw these, it was like a real thick snow swirling around, but it was all light and bright like gold, but I’m not sure it was gold.
And then there was like this sparks also, that would come out and hit and then vanish. It’s like a man that is… When he touches the thing to the hot and it melts, what do you call that? Yea. It would… The sparks how they fly. That’s what I saw. I don’t know what it means. But it lasted for about 20 minutes. And I don’t understand it, but I know it’s God. And I believe Him. I love Him with all my heart. Bless the Lord.
The Harvest of the Backslides
June 1, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The time is coming, saith the Lord, that you will live this for Me, saith God. You will not live it to please another. But yea, the time is at hand that you will live it for Me. And yea, every sacrifice will be a sacrifice for Me. And yea, everything that you would deprive yourself of, you’ll deprive yourself of it for Me, and out of your great love for Me, saith the Lord.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, the hour is nigh upon thee that I will shake you, saith the Lord, with the glories of My deliverance. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will cause My face to shine upon this House of Deliverance. And you will know. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, the city, yea, even this city will look upon thee, saith the Lord, and know that I have favored thee.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will draw forth from this city, and yea, from its sister cities I will draw forth the hungry.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am married to the backslidden Israel, and yea, I am married to the backslidden Gentile. And the Lord would say unto thee, the harvest of backsliders is coming.
And yea, I say unto thee, I will draw them from this city. Those that have known the power of God, and even those who have seen My visitation in this work for years and years, they will once again be drawn, saith the Lord. And it will be noised abroad that I am visiting My people in this House, saith the Lord.
Hidden as a Treasure
June 1, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For yea, I have hidden thee, saith the Lord, as a treasure. Yea, I have seen thee. If anyone has seen thee, I have seen thee. And if anyone knows thee, I know you. And yea, I know your shortnesses, and I know your weaknesses, but I know that you’re Mine, and I’ve hidden thee for some years as a treasure.
But the Lord would say unto thee, I am getting ready to release the treasure maps. Oh, the Lord would say unto thee, I will release them, even in this city, and even in the surrounding area. I will point the way, saith the Lord, to where the treasure has been placed, and they will come. Be ready to receive them with love, for I will bring them forth, saith the Lord.
Do not be ashamed of that that I am doing. Do not be ashamed of the way that I have taught thee to praise and worship Me. For yea, I will use it to draw backsliders. Yea, many will come and say, “It has been a long time since I have seen people love the Lord as you people love Him.” And they will be drawn to Me, so saith the Lord.
Prayer for Jerusalem
June 1, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Join me in prayer right now for a covering for Jerusalem. As I was sitting there on my chair, the Lord said, “Pray for Jerusalem.” And I heard the voice of one weeping in the streets of Jerusalem. And the Lord said, “Pray for a covering.”
Would you pray with me right now? (Tongues) I lift my faith tonight toward the living God. Let Your grace cover Jerusalem, and protect her, oh God, from her adversaries. Oh Lord, protect her in the hour of weeping in the streets. May she know the peace of God.
Oh, keep her, Lord, until her hour dawns. Bless those, oh God, who bless her, and curse those who curse her, for she’s chosen, for out of Zion… (Tongues)
Prayer for Town in Kansas
June 1, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see a small town in Kansas tonight, that needs our prayers. We’re praying… I don’t even know it… I don’t know a thing about Kansas. I couldn’t tell you where it is, but I know the shape of the state. And we’re praying right now the mercies of God over that entire state, and we’re praying the mercies of God over a particular handful of people that are coming near to danger.
The Word of the Lord… Raise a standard, oh God, against the enemy. (Tongues) Oh. Cover them now, Lord. Cover them now, Lord. Hallelujah
Danger for a U.S. Ambassador
June 1, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
There is an ambassador of the United States in a foreign country who is coming under danger in the next little while. I don’t know. I know that we have seen some serious things in China, but I don’t particularly feel that it’s China. But it is an ambassador. He’s working in a United States embassy in a foreign field.
I see the gray of the stone that has made the embassy building and the grounds. I see the black iron gate and the black iron fence that surrounds the embassy. And I see danger to a U.S. ambassador.
And we pray that the angels of the Lord will watch over all of our men, all of our women who represent our great nation in the foreign fields of the world. Oh, let the angels of God cover them, that their lives would be protected in this serious hour that we live in right now. Hallelujah. Oh. Jesus.
Everyone in one mind and one accord. Let’s praise the Lord together, everybody that loves Him. If you love Him, lift your praise. Let God be exalted. Hallelujah.
Luggage Keys on the Clock/ For Such a Time as This
June 6, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Dream given to Brother Shelley
And I saw myself. I had spoken to my mother, and my wife were standing there and I had said to them, “I’m going away,” for something. I don’t remember in the dream why I was going away. But I said to my mother, “My wife and I, Stacey and I are going away, and the baby, and we’ll be back in a few days. And I want you to take care of these keys.” And I handed them to my mother.
And at the time I didn’t even see really what the keys were. I just handed them to her. And I said, “Put them in a safe place.” And then we went away. And when we came back, I looked for mother and I didn’t see her anywhere. And I said, “I really need those keys. I wonder where she would have hid them?”
And we began to look around for a safe place for the keys, and all of a sudden… Sitting on the mantel was a clock, and the clock was ticking. And I could hear the ticking of the clock, and I could see the second hand moving around the face of the clock. And hanging there on the (what do you call it?) the arm of the clock? Hand of the clock. Hanging there on one of the hands of the clock was this little key ring with these tiny little keys in them. And I said, “Oh. She’s hid them in the clock.”
And I remembered thinking, “Why, when the clock turns, have the little keys not fallen off the hands?” But for some reason they were secure there. And when I came out of that dream… I was pondering on it in the night. I woke up and was pondering on it. And I said, “What kind of little keys were they?” They were so tiny.
And a voice spoke to me and said, “They were luggage keys.” They were the little keys that you lock your luggage with. How many of you know how small they were? And I had asked mother to save them and to put them… And when I found them, they were on a clock. And the clock speaks of time. Doesn’t it? And keys speaks of opening and unlocking and discovering. Oh yes. And the clock speaks of timing.
No wonder the Lord said in the, in one of the services, the theme for campmeeting, “For such a time as this.”
And there the little keys were hanging on the clock. And when the hands were going around, the little keys were going with them. But, my mother had placed them there for a safe place, a safe keeping. And you know, you are safe when you walk in the timing of the Lord. I don’t know what all that means, but God does. Doesn’t He?
You may think that everything is hidden, but I want you to know, they complained and the Lord heard it. And the Bible speaks of them later in Paul’s writings in Corinthians, I believe. And it said, “They were like children who sat down to eat, but rose up to play.” And we’re like that.
Fire of Rebellion
June 6, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Dream given to Brother Shelley
I dreamed last night in the night two dreams. Several dreams, but two stand in my mind. One was, I was standing with a group of the young people from this church, and I heard them over… I wasn’t really standing with them, but near them, and I overheard them saying one to another, “I’m going to catch a movie this afternoon.”
And I walked over to where they were and I said, “Don’t you know that in this hour that we live in, and for many, many years it’s certainly been wrong for you to go to the movie houses like that. You compromise your testimony. You’ll lower your standard and you open yourself up to all kinds of spirits.
The scene changed and I saw a young girl, a young sister in our church. And this doesn’t seem to be her nature, so don’t try to figure out who it is. There was a group of young men, and I could name them right now. And I don’t even know that these young men would even do this. But I just tell you what I dreamed.
And then I saw this young sister. And there was going to be a wedding or a graduation, or something. I couldn’t tell. But it was, it was a happy event. And this young lady was getting there late. She wasn’t getting there early.
In fact, I was already having to leave to go to another engagement. And I was in the car, and my family, and we were rushing to get to some other engagement. And when this young lady arrived, she arrived and she had on a garment that was a dress that was off her shoulders.
Not only was it low, but it was, the actual dress came down lower than her shoulder. Do you know what I mean? It wasn’t, it wasn’t around here like this, but it was one of those gowns that comes down and wraps around their shoulder like a shawl.
And I said to my family, “I’m going to turn around and I’m going to go back. I’m not going to let her. I know that I can’t change her life. I can’t make her do what’s right. But I can at least let her know that it’s wrong.”
And I stopped and I grabbed that young girl by the arm and I looked her in the eye, and I began to talk to her. And the fire of rebellion was in her eyes. And the dream changed.
Fear Not the Day
June 6, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Betty Omilian
When thou awakest in the morning, fear not the day that is to come, for I am with thee. Commit that day unto Me, saith the Lord. Fear not, My children. Fear not, even though the day is not quite the way you wanted it. Keep trusting. It will get better.
I will be close to you, My children. It will get better. The days will get better, as your faith grows stronger. Trust in Me. Commit thy day unto the Lord. Commit thy way unto the Lord, and He will direct thy path. He will be with thee. He will not forsake thee.
Gathering & Brooding Over Us
June 6, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given through Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I saw the Lord standing over this congregation tonight. And He was calling to us, “As a hen would gather her chicks, so have I desired to gather thee, but you would not.” And I remembered the words in the Scripture where Jesus was standing over the city of Jerusalem, weeping, “Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft I would have gathered thee as a hen would her brood, but ye would not.”
And I could see the Lord standing, lifted up above this congregation tonight, calling unto us, “My children, My children, how often I would have gathered you, as a hen would her chicks, and ye would not.”
And I was reminded as I was sitting here pondering the words of the Lord, of the story that Brother Wetzel told when he was preaching somewhere in the north, staying on a farm. And a fire came in the night and burned the barn. They got him out of bed and he had a crippled leg from polio as a child, but he kind of limped. But he got down and began to help carry the buckets of water.
Some of the animals escaped, but some were burned. And he said he could smell the flesh of the animals as they burned. Finally, they got in bed as the dawn was breaking. Slept a little while, and he came back down to the site of the burnt barn, where the smoke was still rising from the embers.
And he said, “Lying there in the doorway was a little hen and she was charred, just a cage of bones.” And he said, “I wondered to myself. ‘Why would that little hen have stopped in the door, instead of escaping to safety’.” And he said, “I didn’t mean her any disrespect, but I took my boot and I kicked at the little frame of a hen. And out from beneath her…”
I heard this when I was seven years old, but I’ll never forget it. He said, “Out from beneath her came a little brood of young chicks.” And he said, “I realized why she wouldn’t go another step. She had died gathering her chicks under her wings and protecting them from the fire.”
And I saw the Lord standing in flowing garment, elevated just above our heads. Looking down from where the sign would be, “Holiness unto the Lord,” just over the pulpit. And He was calling to us, “Little children, little children, how often I would have gathered you as a hen would her brood or her chicks, and you would not.”
I don’t know about you, but I desire to be gathered. I thank God tonight for the drawing power of the Holy Ghost. And I thank Him that I can still feel Him drawing me and calling to me.
How many of you appreciate the call of the Lord and the drawing of the Lord? And Jesus is saying, “I’m drawing you. I’m calling you. Come hide under My wings. Come hide in My bosom. Come near unto Me, and I will give you rest and safety.”
Be gathered tonight. Be gathered unto the Lord. You might think you can get out of the fire quicker on your own. Maybe those little chicks could have felt like in their own they could have got out of the fire quicker, but they knew better than to try by themselves. And they ran to mother, because she had been the one to give them the worm. She’d been the one to feed them and care for them. And although they were close to safety they knew better than to try it by themselves. They ran to mother.
“Little children, I would have gathered you.” Be gathered unto the Lord. Tell Him right now, “I will, Lord. I will not refuse Your drawing. I will not despise your calling, but I will be drawn.” (Tongues) Draw me, Lord, right underneath Your wings. Draw us, Jesus.
There’s a Lifeline
June 6, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see in a vision as though someone were drowning, and someone has left the shore, rushing to them, to try to rescue them. But because of their thrashing about in the water and their panic and their fear, they can’t be rescued.
And it reminds me, as I see someone reaching out to try to rescue the drowning, it reminds me of stories that I’ve read, and you’ve read them too, where two people drown instead of one. Because the one who tried to rescue them, instead of yielding and relaxing and trying to be pulled by the rescuer, they thrashed in such a manner that they pulled the rescuer underneath the tow, and they both drowned.
I’m talking by the inspiration of the Spirit. Hear what I’m saying, would you please? Would you respect the Words of the Lord? Would you be rescued tonight? Would you be rescued tonight? The Spirit said, “There’s a lifeline.”
A little blond headed girl that I used to know in the Holiness Church, had about ten brothers and sisters. Her father was a Holiness preacher and a good friend of mine. He died with cancer many years ago. But she used to go with her family to my tent meetings all over the South. And she would sing a song at the piano that said, “Make room in the lifeboat. Make room in the lifeboat for me.”
And the Spirit of God said, “I’m making room in the lifeboat for you tonight. If you’ll let Me, I’ll rescue you and I’ll draw you to My side.” Let’s worship Him. Don’t let these words fall on deaf ears.
Lifting Out the Seed of Bitterness
June 13, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain
I just wanted to say what the Lord is doing for me. There’s a lot I’d like to say, but I don’t know how to say it. But you said to me, Brother Shelley, one night… I don’t remember just how it was, but you said that I would learn to trust. And I’m learning to trust. I am.
And I know at times that seed of bitterness tries to sweep over us at different times. Well, I know God is healing that seed. I saw Him lift out a seed. It’s been a few days, but I saw Him lift out a seed. And I know…
And then a while ago, this came to me too. That pillow, you talked about it the other day, the feathers that are, that go out, and that’s the damage that is done. But it just seemed like the Lord was saying, “Those, the ones that are right here, right here, those feathers that have been distributed are being plucked up, are being picked up.”
And I believe that tonight. I believe it with all my heart. Because He’s trying to use us here. I know He’s tried to use me, and I’ve hindered it at times, and I’ve asked the Lord to forgive me. And I mean to do what He wants me to do. With all my heart I want to do that. And He knows that.
And I pray for strength, and I pray for you all for strength. There’s those of us that are weak, and there’s those of us that are strong. But the Word says for the strong to lift up the weak. And we need to do that.
Pillar of Fire
June 13, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Candace Shaw shared by Brother Steve Shaw
When I left here this morning, on the way home my little ten-year-old said, “Daddy, “She said that… (This never happened before, but…) “I was looking at the platform, and the Pillar of Fire was just going real fast above everybody’s head, above the platform, (And I want to praise Him for that.) She said, for a long time. She said, “Finally, when it finally disappeared, it was like sparkles all over.”
Saturation
June 13, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
I’ve never been so aware of the Pillar of Fire. It was hanging over all of our heads. And as Brother Shelley and Brother Greeley and different ones were ministering, I saw it dripping things down. And the Lord spoke and said, “Saturation.”
Saturate us, Lord. That’s the filling of every fiber, every pocket, every cell–saturation. It’s the soaking up (hallelujah), the absorbing. God, let us be saturated. Oh, hallelujah.
I’ve thought of my granny often today. And that’s one thing I remember hearing her say so many hundreds of times when she prayed, “Lord, saturate us and anoint us.” Hallelujah. Oh God, let it be so.
Binding Up Our Wounds
June 13, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Joyce Greeley
Because I don’t understand at all, I don’t have a revelation at all of what I saw, I was really hesitant to say anything. And I said, “Lord, if You want me to tell it,” I said, “Let him make another opportunity to, and I will tell it.”
And I saw a vision, and it was a very clear… Sometimes it’s, you almost can hardly distinguish it from imagination, but it was as clear as a dream, colored and all. But I saw a wound. It was not a long knife-like wound with something sharp, but it was more of a gouge wound or a puncture wound.
And I could see the blood piled up in it. It was a very deep wound, and I could see the darkness of the blood in it, from the depth of it, and how it pulled up. And the skin was kind of pulled up to the one side. And I have no understanding of what it is, but that is what I saw, and that…
Brother Shelley:
It’s an old wound, and God is more than able this evening, by His grace to cover it, (hallelujah) if you’ll just allow Him to. Let the Spirit of God suture. The Spirit of God reminded me of the Scripture, “Binding up our wounds.”
He’s coming to bind up our wounds. The Scripture said, “Gathering together the outcast of Israel.” Hallelujah.
A Higher Plateau
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother John Heisey
Yea the Lord would say tonight, you’ve been wandering. The Fire’s been burning around you, and you are walking in the ashes. But I say unto you tonight, the Lord is saying, step up on a new plateau. And that plateau is revelation that I have given you. And you stand on that revelation tonight, and let the ashes fall off behind you, and move on to a higher plain.
God was showing me… I worked in a steel foundry many years ago. And I used to stand in front of that big ladle that had ten ton of steel in it. And I would scratch back the dirt with a…
I had a paddle like. I’d push back the dirt. And when I’d get it all back there, then that pure iron would come to… And there’s nothing… I never seen anything more beautiful than hot molded metal at 3,000 degrees come pouring down and go into a mold. And then it would come out beautiful. I believe the Lord spoke to us.
A Great Breaking Forth
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
And yea, the Lord would say, you’re on the brink of a mighty breaking forth. Yea, as the fountains of the deep broke up in the time of the great Flood, and yea, as when Moses smote the rock, waters gushed forth.
Yea, even so you are on the brink of a great breaking forth. Yea, mighty rivers of water shall flow, even from My Rock, from My Spirit, saith the Lord. And yea, it is in that time that you shall go forth and bring My Fire and My Spirit to all people and to all nations, saith the Lord.
Knocking on the Door
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Mike Lanier
I, the Lord thy God, has not brought you this far to let you drown. For I, the Lord, has built this House within you. And I stand at the door knocking. And I ask, “Will you let Me in?” The Lord knocketh at the door. Will you let Me in?
Purifying Fire
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
I am the Fire, saith the Spirit of the Lord. Yea, I am the Fire. Yea, I am the Purifier, and I am the Sanctifier. Yea, I am the Fire. Yea, the Fire is in My Word, saith the Lord, and I have carried My Fire by My Spirit.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, in the bush that burned before Moses, I was the Fire. Yea, it was I, saith the Lord, that was in the midst of the bush. And yea, the Lord, thy God, would say unto thee, draw Me. Draw me, saith the Lord, into thy bosom, for I am the Purifying Fire. And yea, the Fire of God shall burn upon thee, saith the Lord, if you so desire.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I’ll not push Myself upon thee. But yea the Lord would say, if you’ll draw Me in, I will come, saith God, and purify thee. Yea, I will purify your thoughts, saith the Lord, and I will even purify your intentions. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I will go even into the depth of your life, into the marrow of your bones, saith the Lord, and purify all that is about you. Yea the Lord would say unto you, for so long you have walked with motives that have not been Mine, said God.
Yea, you’ve had intentions that have not been Mine. But the Lord would say unto thee, release your motives to Me, and release your intentions to Me, and your thoughts and programs to Me, saith the Lord. And your plans for the future, release them to Me, for I am the burning Fire. And yea, I am in the midst of thee this night, to purify My people, yea to burn thee with an unquenchable Fire.
Yea, Satan has tried to put out the Fire. Yea, he thought if he could kill the Fire bearers, saith the Lord, that there would be no Fire. But I say unto thee, when one generation of Fire-bearers has passed, I have raised up another and another and another. Yea, the grave was not able to stop those who have borne My Fire and have brought My Fire.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have got a ready army scattered, saith the Lord. Yea, many of them walk yet in ignorance, and they don’t know the fullness of my power. And yea, many of them are still bound by ideas and traditions that are not of Me. But yea, I am preparing them, and I am getting them ready, saith the Lord. And they will take forth My Fire.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, how is it that you think you could carry my Fire to even the one standing next to you, until you have taken it into your own bosom? Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, draw My Fire in, not a strange fire, but the Fire of the Most High God. And I will purify, and I will quicken thee by My Holy Spirit, so saith the Lord.
The Cutting-Edge
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Holy Ghost said, “The world may look upon you, and they may think that you are so far behind,” but I see you written… (I don’t know how to explain this.) But I see you written on the edge of the Sword. I know it’s you, and I see you written there on the edge of the Sword.
And the Spirit of God says, “The cutting edge.” And you’re written on the cutting edge of the Sword of the Lord. So the world may look at you, and they may see your rejection, and they may see the misfit part of your life, and how you don’t fit in, and how you feel like a square peg trying to go in a round hole. But the Lord said, “Don’t listen to them. They don’t know you like I know you. I have written you on the edge of My Sword, and I will make you the cutting edge.”
And the Lord said, “I will do nothing in the earth…” He said, “Right now, you’re having to hear what…” You know, you see what He’s doing here, and you hear what He’s doing in other places. But God said, “When My work is perfected in this place, and you have recognized that you’re on the edge of My Sword, you won’t have to hear what I’m doing anywhere else, but You’ll be able to taste it fresh, because I’ll bring it right upon you, saith the Lord, because you’ll be a people that I can trust.”
He said, “I let these things fall in other places to see the course that they’re going to run, to see the course that they’re going to take.” But God said, “When I get you in that place, when you allow Me to place you in position, you’ll be written.” Hallelujah. I see us written on the edge of His Sword. Hallelujah. And He said, “Wherever that Sword is striking, you’ll be there, because you’re right on the edge of His Sword.”
Recognize the Word of the Lord, and praise Him that He cares enough to speak to us. The Lord said also that sometimes when you look around, you feel like that you’re so far behind with what a lot of people have grabbed. You’re just kind of far behind from a dark age. But the Lord said, “I see you in a completely different way. You are not behind.” The Lord said, “I told you, I’m putting you on the edge of My Sword.” And that that’s on the cutting edge is not bringing up the rear, but it’s taking the forefront. Hallelujah.
And I see the Captain of the host of the Lord raising that Sword toward a fenced city. I see in the valley a fenced city. And I see the watchmen of the enemy’s kingdom on the wall. But I see you written on the edge of the Sword. And the Sword is not bringing up the rear, but the Captain is standing before the army, and He’s reaching you upon His Sword. You’re written on His Sword, and He’s reaching His Sword toward the fenced city. And God said, “The walls will come down, and I will give you the spoil. And with the spoil, saith the Lord, I’ll give you a host of Rahabs.
For I have kept them, saith the Lord, even as I kept Rahab, the harlot. I have made them a promise. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have made them a promise. Yea, those that have called out to Me, but could not walk in freedom, yet I’ve promised them and I have covenanted with them that there will come a day of freedom. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have married myself to Rahabs that are in the fenced cities. Oh yes.
But I, the Lord thy God, will hang a scarlet thread of redemption upon the cities that I give you in the Spirit. And you will know that I have seed there. Prepare yourself, saith the Lord, for as the Fire of God purifies you, I’ll place you ahead of the army, and not in the rear. For the Lord would say unto thee, the words shall surely come to pass, ‘The last shall be first, and the first shall be last,’ so saith the Spirit of the Lord.”
Symptoms of Your Body Hindering You from Revelation
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
God said, “The symptoms of your body that have hindered you today,” the Lord said, “It was just the hand of the enemy trying to keep you out of this place of revelation.
The Head & Not the Tail
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
God said, “I told you you were the head and not the tail.” Oh Lord, we don’t know what that feels like, but we claim it right now. Oh, yes. How many of you know what it feels like to be the tail, but you’re not sure exactly what it feels like to be the head?
But God said, “I’ll make My people the head and not the tail.” The Lord said, “As the foolish virgins came to the wise to buy of their Oil,” the Lord said, “They will come unto you to receive of the Oil.”
And the Lord said, “For a short season there will be enough Oil that you might share it with those who come, but the hour will surely come when the supply will be to such a measure that you’ll have to fulfill the parable of the Lord and say, ‘Go for yourself and find it.’”
But the Lord said, “For a glorious season, there’ll be enough of His Oil and His Anointing that you might give to others who’ll come searching and seeking. We’re under the Cloud tonight. Let’s praise Him. Come on, church, respond to the Spirit of God.
Our Joshua Shall Lead the Way
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Spirit of the Lord said to me, “And the descendants of Joshua shall lead the way. The children that have been born under the leadership of Joshua shall lead the way.” And our Joshua is the Holy Ghost.
Gideon’s Army
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see the army of the Lord, as they go forth in His Name, like Gideon’s army. Yea, I see them now even not as a great, great, great multitude, but I see them as a multitude. I see them hand-picked for this hour. I see them chosen for an appointed time. And I see them going forth.
And I hear the Voice of the Captain saying, “You’ve been narrowed down.” Oh, hallelujah. “You’ve been tested and tried, yea, and your ranks have known the sifting of the Lord.”
But I see the army of the Lord going forth yea, and many have turned back because they were not chosen for this hour. But I see the army of the Lord going forth with torches raised high in their right hands above their heads, like fire. And the Lord said, “It’s like Gideon’s army, going forth.” Their armor is shiny, and I see the reflection of the flames in their breastplates. The fire that they hold in their hand upon the torches, I see it as it flickers in the shield and in the breastplate.
And I can even see the flames as they reflect off the helmets. This army is not an army that is ill prepared, but it’s an army that is well prepared of God. Hallelujah. And everything she says and everything she does reflects the Glory and the Fire of the Living God. Hallelujah. It’s reflected out of her breastplate. Hallelujah. And that’s her righteousness. And it’s reflected out of her shield. That’s faith. And it’s reflected out of her helmet. That’s salvation.
River of God’s Spirit
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see the River flowing around me right now. Hallelujah. The River of God’s Spirit. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
Fire of God Searching Out the Seed
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see the army mobilized and moving forward in the Spirit. And I see the Fire of God bringing up the rear. And I see that on either side of the road, the Fire is devouring the stubble in the path that this army has taken.
And God said, “Because of the Fire of the Lord that’ll follow this great army that He’s raising up, that Fire will spread down even into the valleys and the villages of those that you would never be able to reach with your physical presence.” But when the army moves out in divine order, and when she moves out under that anointing, I see the Fire of God coming behind her, as the Scripture has said, “The glory of the Lord shall be your rearward.” I see that Fire.
And I see it going down in the shoulders of the road that the army of God is moving upon, and I see the Fire consuming all the stubble, you know, all the growth and the weeds and all the things that are on the side of the road.
And God said, “That Fire won’t stop by just devouring the weeds and the stubble, but that Fire will go forth into the valleys and across the hills and into the villages, and the Fire of God will find the seed of the Lord. The Fire of God will search and find the seed of God.
The Spirit of the Lord said, “I’m getting ready to mobilize a search and rescue mission from the Throne. I’m getting ready to mobilize a search and rescue mission from the Throne. And the Fire of God is going to go in and search out the seed of the Lord and rescue them from their bondage. Hallelujah. Praise God. Praise God. Blessed be the Word of the Lord.
By Holiness, You Are Identified
June 15, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Oh, and I’m discerning in the Spirit now, “How is it that you’re written upon the Sword of the Lord?” I’m discerning it now in the Spirit. It’s not by our individual name. Steven is not written there, and Wes is not written there, and Jonathan is not written there, and Daniel and Kary, and whatever your name might be. But I see written upon that Sword…
For a moment I couldn’t see what was there, but I heard the Voice of God say, “I’ve written you there.” But now I see what’s written upon that Sword. And this is why you’re there. It’s written these words, “Holiness Unto The Lord.”
And God said, “Because you’ve been faithful to Me, you will partake of the Holiness of the Lord, and it is by that Holiness that you’re identified. You’re Holiness and your purity of life has caused you to bring up the rear. But the Lord would surely say unto thee, the same thing that has caused the world to reject you has caused Me to favor you. Prepare yourself for the cutting edge of what God is doing in the earth.”
The Covering of the Chuppah
June 20, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord this evening, I’ll share with you just now a portion of the vision the Lord showed me.
As I was sitting down I saw the Chuppah, the tent of the Lord, being stretched out over the top of the congregation, hovering over our heads. And I heard a Voice say, “A restoration of passion for Me is coming, and a deep yearning to know Me in intimacy.”
And I could see various ones in the congregation, more than is actually gathered here tonight, taking ahold of the four cords that hang from the four corners of the Chuppah. And I could see the fringe of the cords where the Tzitzit is, and that is the knots that are tied (in Hebrew) to symbolize the unspeakable Name of God.
I could see different ones taking ahold of the fringe, and I knew that it represented a taking hold of the Name, a fresh Revelation of the Name of the Lord.
And then He taught me, for a moment, by saying that we should woo and court after, seek after the Lord. Our relationship with Him has always been typed out in a man-woman relationship.
And then I hear Him say, “As Ruth was covered by Boaz, so will I cover My Bride with Cha-bod, the weightiness of My Glory.”
Let’s praise Him that He is our covering tonight. Oh what a covering we have in Him. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We praise You.
Being Birthed into Maturity
June 22, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While the Spirit of the Lord was moving, I saw a vision. And I saw a babe in the womb of its mother. And I saw the umbilical cord and how it connects to the mother. And I saw the baby moving around in the womb at normal, slow, very animated movements.
But all of a sudden, I saw something excite the baby, but not in a, maybe a positive way. Maybe the word should be upset. And I could see the baby struggling in the womb. And as it struggled, it became tangled in the umbilical cord. I could see it wrapping, first around the ankle, and then the cord sliding up toward the thigh. And then the baby would untangle himself, thrashing about.
Then I could see the umbilical cord wrapping around the arm and across the shoulder. And then in the struggle, it would come undone. But then I saw the baby begin to thrash in such a manner, that the cord was becoming tangled around the throat, the neck of that child. And I knew in the Spirit that that babe was in danger.
And the vision changed. And I saw in outer space a vessel like a rocket, what we would have used to have called a rocket. And I saw on that rocket a door opening up. And from that door I saw an astronaut coming out, dressed in that heavy space suit with the big, extremely large helmet that they wear.
And I saw that line that connects that astronaut to that space vessel. And I could see that it was his lifeline. The suit was there to protect him from the elements of outer space, but he was receiving his strength, his oxygen, from that lifeline. And the vision changed. The Lord, I believe, is saying tonight. “That little umbilical cord that connects that babe to the mother in the womb, it’s life.”
If I understand correctly, it’s his life. I don’t know if you know this or not. I hope you’re listening. But when we were in the hospital when my wife was having Benjamin, they gave me a pamphlet. And in that pamphlet we were given the opportunity to save that umbilical cord. They would store it for us for a certain amount of money. Have you ever heard of that? Do you all know what that’s about?
Because, if they freeze… We didn’t do it, but, because we trust the Lord. But they freeze that umbilical cord, because there are certain nutrients and things in that umbilical cord and cells and so forth, that can be harvested later if it’s preserved, should something unusual happen to that baby.
So that lets you know what kind of lifeline God has put there for that baby to feed from its mother. Whatever that mother eats, affects that child.
But anyway, I see in the Spirit that someone, and maybe all of us at times have done it. But I believe God is speaking to me about people who are thrashing about in the womb. I’d like to think that I’m out of the womb. I’d like to think that I’ve been born into maturity.
But I see this babe thrashing about in the womb. And it’s all right if it gets tangled around the arm or the leg, because maybe it’s easier to untangle. But when that cord becomes wrapped around that child’s neck at the birth, it’s a fearful and a serious thing that causes the nurses to take alert, and the doctors to be extra aware. Any of you women ever gave birth to a child that the cord was wrapped around the neck?
The Spirit of God is speaking to me tonight that there are some thrashing about so in the womb. You’ve never been born. You’ve never come to birth to spiritual maturity, but you’re thrashing about so, that the very thing that God has placed to give you strength and life and nutrition, you’re becoming tangled in that very thing like a spider in a web.
And the Spirit of the Lord said, “Be warned tonight. Take heed, lest you find yourself cut off from that which would sustain you and strengthen you.” I believe that it may sound like that vision has nothing to do with the prophecy or the interpretation of tongues, but I believe it does. I believe it fits in there. Would you just worship the Lord with me? I didn’t mean to break the anointing, but I had to share it as it came to me.
Let’s worship Him and see what the Lord will do. If you struggle tonight, your struggle can be over. It can be over right now. In less than five minutes, your struggle can be over if you’ll surrender to the Lord. He said He wanted to birth us. He wanted to push from the womb and birth us into spiritual maturity.
Let’s worship Him and see what the Lord will do. If you struggle tonight, your struggle can be over. It can be over right now. In less than five minutes, your struggle can be over if you’ll surrender to the Lord. He said He wanted to birth us. He wanted to push from the womb and birth us into spiritual maturity.
Oh, I believe God is looking for a mature people that He can trust in this hour. Can you say amen? Let’s don’t let the Anointing lift, but let’s raise hands and hearts to God right now and worship Him. Oh, we love You, Jesus. We love You, Lord…
There is no way to communicate to that little baby that it’s tangling. But thank God, the Spirit has communicated to us tonight that some of us are being entangled in the very way that God would have deliverance for us. The very thing that God has provided to give us strength and nutrition, we’re becoming tangled in it. God have mercy. Somebody said, “How do I get out?”
I hear the Spirit say this. “Be still. Quit thrashing. Quit fighting. Be still and know that I am God. Be still and know that I have come to bring deliverance. Be still and know that I will birth you. Be still, saith the Lord.” Hallelujah.
Changing the History of the Church
June 27, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Dream given to Brother Shelley
But I’ll tell you a dream quickly. I’ll tell it now so that we don’t have to labor to maybe move it out of the sermon. But I had a dream. And In this dream… I don’t dream very often like this. But I dreamed of Sister Ruth when she was a younger woman. Her hair was dark and she was quite slim. Much slimmer than she is now.
And we were somewhere in a convention or something, and she was going to give a speech or speak. And I went in with my wife and a baby. I guess it was Benjamin. Seemed to be. And when I started to find my seat there in this big beautiful building, I looked up on the front row and my grandmother was there. And I said to my wife, I said, “Honey, would you mind if I go up and sit with my grandmother?” And she looked really shocked and she said, “No.”
And I walked up there and I hugged my granny and I told her how glad I was to see her, and how long it had been. And I sat down beside her, put my arm around her on the pew. And about that time, they introduced Sister Ruth to come and speak. She was going to speak on Israel that morning.
And she came over to the platform and she began to sing a little song. And finally, she said, “I’ve done a terrible thing.” She said, “I’ve left my notes in the car, and the driver has dropped me of.” And she said, “I’m going to go, I have to go and look for them.”
And she came around the platform and down around this way, and she began to look for them. They weren’t there. And out the door she went, and I jumped up. And I said to my Granny, “I’m going to go and help her find those notes.”
And when I started out the door, the scene changed and it was a little narrow body of water, a little narrow flowing body of water. Not like a large creek or anything like that, more like what we would call a branch. But it was deep enough, that there was a small, little small skid boat going down in that water. And Sister Ruth was sitting in the back of that boat and there was a man sitting in the front, who was navigating the boat. And he looked to be like some religious leader of some high position, or something. And she said to him…
I was standing on the bank as they were passing me. They had already seemed like the dream changed. She had already gotten in the boat and was going down, looking for these sermon notes.
And she said to this man. “Whatever you do, we’ve got to find these notes.” And he looked at her and he said, “You wrote them once, you can easily write them again.” She said to him, “No sir. What’s on those papers,” she said, “will change the history of the Church forever.”
And so, I said to her from the bank. I called out. “I’ll find them. Don’t worry. I promise you I’ll find those notes, no matter what it takes.” And she said, “All right, brother from Alabama. That’ll be fine.”
I started running down that branch to try to find those notes, and I saw a little satchel floating out in that water. And I began to wade through the mud and push my way through the reeds and all kinds of growth and trees and limbs to it.
And as I started to get them, they floated away from me a little bit. And I continued to pursue that little satchel with those notes in them, and they floated away from me a little bit.
And a long time, in that dream, I was fighting all these different circumstances. I would step off in a hole in the water and my whole hip would go down in that water, and I’d have to pull myself out of that hole to get those notes. But I said, “I promised, and I’m going to get them.”
And finally, I was able. I just reached out my hand toward, in the water. They were floating along in the water. I just reached out my hand like this in the water, and moved my fingers like that. And that satchel just came drifting, against the current. The current was taking it that way, but that satchel just came floating right up to my fingertips, and I reached a hold and grabbed it.
And I lifted that satchel up in the air, and I began to wave and I said, “Look, I found this. I found this. I found this. I found this. Look what I found. In this satchel is the very words that are going to change the history of the Church forever.” And the dream changed, and I woke up.
I went, drifted back off to sleep a few moments later, and we were back in that building, and there was a young man standing there. And I said, “Here. I found these, and I’m giving them to you. You’ve got the platform.”
And a young man came and stood there, and he began to open up his Bible, and took these notes and was going to speak to the people on them. And he said, “We would have never had this, if it hadn’t been for Brother Shelley.” And he looked down at me.
And I looked down at my pants legs, and they were still muddy. I had gone right in the church muddy. Mud just caked all over me. And I’m just sitting there, and I looked down the aisle, and I had just tracked mud and water, and looked like plants and all kinds of stuff. I had tracked in to sit down there.
And he said, “We would have never found…” Said, “We would have never had this this morning, if Brother Shelley hadn’t got out in the river and began to wade around until he could get these things.” He said, “That’s what I want to speak on this morning.
And he called out a Scripture. And when I woke up, I remembered the Scripture. The first thing I did was turn. Got out of bed and looked up that Scripture. This morning, I don’t know what the significance of it is, but I know this. God deals with me sometimes in supernatural ways, and there must be something.
When I say that, don’t be fearful, you know. It’s not maybe something that’s going to change your ideas or …I don’t want you to panic or be paranoid, but I believe God’s got some things that He wants to speak to us that will prepare us for what the Church is going to accomplish, that Bride Church in the End time. Do you hear what I just said? And so I’m anticipating great and mighty things from the Lord. Amen.
And I also believe that’s significant, and I’ll say this because some of you are so fearful that I mentioned a woman. But I think it’s very significant that God delivered those things into the hands of men.
I believe He dealt with a woman about it. She put it down, maybe, you know. It seemed to be her notes. But when it was delivered to the Church, it was brought by a man. So God has some significance there, doesn’t He? But He uses us all for various reasons.
Called to a Work
June 27, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Anne Tremain & Interpretation given through Sister Flo Hendrix
You speak to me a lot. I appreciate that. I appreciate you talking to Me. I appreciate that. Let you tell me my heart. My love for you is so great. I love you so much. And you look at yourself and you get so discouraged sometime. You think, “Lord, it doesn’t look like I’m going anywhere. Don’t look like I can over this that’s causing me to stumble.”
But don’t forget that I’m God, and I will make you. Don’t forget that I’m God and I see what you’re going to be, and not what you are now. But I appreciate your struggles. I’ll not do like I did the children of Israel. I’ll not repent that I’ve called you because I did call you. I called you to a work. You will fulfill that work. You will see an improvement in your way. I know you get discouraged with yourselves sometimes, that you look like you can’t overcome.
But you are an overcomer. Remember, that you’re an overcomer. By My blood, by the life that I lived, you are an overcomer. I love you this morning, My children. Let me encourage you and tell you that I love you. I’ve called My servant to speak for Me this morning. Please believe that I love you.
And I see your hurts. I see you struggle. But remember one thing. That as you help your children, I help you greater. Think of Me like you think of yourself and your children. I hold your hand. I catch you when you fall. I love you this morning. I’ll provide every need. I’m your Father, and I love you so much. I love you so much, children.
Your Days Are Numbered
June 6, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Word of correction given by Brother Shelley
“You’re getting too personal this morning.” That’s what I’m for. You can go out of here with an “I don’t care” attitude. You can go and talk about me at lunch. I hope the waitress hears you and tells me. You can go and do whatever it is you want to, but I want you to know, “Your days are numbered, saith the Lord.”
God won’t strive with you always. He’ll bypass you and find somebody that will. He’ll leave you to struggle the rest of your life. Maybe on your deathbed you’ll find Him, because if you’re ordained for eternal life, you’re going to know the Lord when you go out of here. You’re going to go out. That’s right. God knows that. But you may waste every day of your life and stand in the Presence of the Lord with just a few things when you could stand with great rewards…
The Arrow of the Lord
June 27, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw a man sitting at a table with a stick in his hand, a shaft in his hand. And he had some cord or some string that looked like nylon, very thin like fishing line. And he was looping it and tying it around the end of this shaft. And it reminded me of a fisherman sitting down to tie his flies.
Have you ever seen that kind of cord and nylon, or whatever you call it, that they use to tie the fishing fly? And then they’ll take a little pair of snips and snip the loops, and it makes a fray. It makes those pieces of nylon stick out like a fluff of an insect. Do you know what I mean?
I could see this man making these loops around the end of that. And I had no earthly idea what he was doing. And he took some snips and snipped it just like that, and made that nylon cord fray like that. And I thought, “What in the world am I seeing? I don’t even know how to describe it.”
And I saw that same man get up and take a, what looked like a stone or something that you would use to sharpen, like a whet… What do you call that? A whetstone? Is that right? And he was sharpening something on it. And I realized then what I was seeing. I was seeing the construction of an arrow. But I’d never seen an arrow made. That looping that was cut and, that was looped and then cut was the tail of that arrow. And that sharpening was the point of that arrow.
And I saw that point inserted into the shaft of that arrow, I mean into the piece of shaft. Excuse me. And I thought, as I saw an arrow being constructed, and finally got the understanding that an arrow was being constructed, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “It’s been a long time in the making. The construction of it has been a precious thing, a long, time-consuming thing.” But I heard the voice of the Lord say, “The arrow will soon be poised.” And I believe it’s the arrow of the Lord.
I believe that strong capable arm of the Lord is capable enough to draw the string, to shoot the arrow into the heart and the lives of every person that’s called to walk in End time revival and renewal. Special care has been taken in the construction of this arrow. But God said, “It’s poised and soon to be released.”
Lord, let that arrow strike me. Let me be a candidate. And then the Lord brought to my mind the definition of sin. Do you know the Greek definition of sin is, “To miss the mark”? To miss the mark. The Lord assured me, and He assures me right now that when we shoot the arrows, we might miss the target, but when the arrow is in the hand of the Lord (Tongues) and when the Lord Himself shoots it forth, He said, “It will not miss the target, and it will not miss that…”
And I see the Lord in the Spirit, getting ready to release arrows, even into our lives to get our attention. God said, “I’m going to put My Word in My people one way or another.” Hallelujah. Give Him praise. Sin may cause us to miss the mark, but the Lord will never miss a target. And He’s getting ready to shoot His arrow forth. Glory be to God. Lord, I receive, I receive, I receive, I receive.
Looking for a People
July 3, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, yea I the Lord thy God desire a people who will allow Me to be enthroned in their hearts, saith the Lord. Yea, I desire a people who will come before Me in praise and worship. For I the living God delight, I delight when My sons come forth before Me to worship Me, saith the Lord.
For yea, I the Lord thy God have said in My Word that I live in those praises. And yea the Lord would say unto thee, I am rested by your praise, and yea I am blessed and strengthened by your praise.
And you’d say, “How is the Lord blessed? How is the Lord in need of strength?” But yea I say unto thee, for even My servant has said, “Bless the Lord, oh my soul.” Yea I say unto thee, every soul that blesses the Lord, I am delighted, saith God. Knowest thou not that I am looking for a people in this hour that will let Me be God.
Yea, I stand in My Spirit many times on the sidelines, and I hear messages about Me. Yea, I hear songs about Me, testimonies about Me, what I have done, and even sometimes what I can do. But yea the Lord would say unto thee, where is the people that will allow Me to be God? Where is the people that will allow Me to do today what I have done yesterday? Where is the people who will allow Me to work miracles, signs, and wonders in their midst, and show forth that I am God?
Yea I the Lord would say unto thee, I will have a people in the last days. And I will call her out from under the rulership of man. And yea I will lead her and guide her by My Anointed Word. And I will fill her, yea, saith the Lord, not with just a portion of My Spirit, but I will come and take My abode in her.
For I have called a people, saith the Lord, who will not be bowed down, and who will not be broken, saith the Lord, by the ministry, but those who will fall in My Spirit and be led, saith the Lord, by My hand. For I desire a people that I could lead with My eye. It’s not My will to whip My own, saith the Lord. But there are times when I must chastise those that are Mine.
But it is My desire to look unto thee and to whisper to thee and lead thee, saith the Lord, in love, and not with the rod. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, will you be that people? Tonight would you be that people, saith the Lord, that will come and let Me show you that I am still God? Will you come and let Me confirm My Word, saith the Lord, with signs and wonders? Will you come, saith the Lord, and let me prepare you to reap the final harvest of souls?
For the Lord would say unto thee, there is an abundant harvest that have never heard the things that you have heard, and that have never seen the things that you have seen. Yea, it is My desire to send thee forth, saith the Lord. And into the places that you cannot go, I desire to burden your heart, and that you would call out and intercede on behalf of nations that you may never walk in in the physical realm.
I the living God desire that a prayer covering would be lifted for the nations of the world and for those who have not yet heard the delivering Truth. For they too shall hear. And I will resurrect My people, saith the Lord, and revive her with a fresh Anointing from My hand. For I am the living God, and I am not returning for a church that is broken. And I am not coming for a church that needs to be fixed. But I am coming for a church without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, when I look to her, I see in her My own reflection. For I have called a Bride to be a mirror, saith the Lord, so that when I look unto her, I see Myself reflected in her life. It is My desire to put My Spirit, My attributes, My character deep down in thee, saith the Lord. Where is the people that will allow Me to?
Yea, I’m searching in this hour. Yea, I’m searching, saith the Lord. And I will find a people that will let Me be God once again. I will find a people, saith the Lord, that will let Me come down to deliver and set free and save the lost again. I’m looking for a people that have not become so religious that I can’t come and be what I desire to be, the Living Word. I’m looking for a people, saith the Lord, that will not restrict Me with their interpretations of My Word.
Knowest thou not that it grieves My heart to see My people take My Word and shut Me out? Yea I say unto thee, men have taken My Word and shut Me out of what is called My Church. But I the living God would say unto thee, I will search and I will find those that are Mine. And I will refresh them and I will renew them, and I will refill them, saith the Lord, and prepare them for the final Sealing. For yea I the Lord thy God would say, a quick, short work will surely come forth to reap the final harvest, and you’ll be home, saith the Lord God.
Tied to the Altar
July 18, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given to Brother Shelley
The Spirit of the Lord is speaking into my spirit right now, and He is saying that some of us have taken ourselves down from the altar. When the sacrifice was laid on the burnt altar, it was tied with cords to the horns or the corners of the altar. So that in the sizzling and in the laying of new meat upon the altar none would be disturbed or fall from its place.
The Spirit of the Lord is speaking into my spirit that some of us, (and we have all at one time or another is has happened) that we have taken ourselves from the altar and we have chosen a little different way.
And I want to tell you something. If we refuse to be tied, or chained, or fettered to the altar of sacrifice, then we’ll wear another yoke. We’ll be chained with another chain. We’ll know another fetter, the fetter and chain of sin and the will of the flesh.
You Shall Know Me
July 18, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
You shall know Me in the power of My fullness.
Ye shall know Me in the Glory of My Face.
You shall know Me in the wonders of My Hands.
Look away to Me. Look away to Me.
You shall know Me in the fullness of My Spirit.
You shall know Me in the Glory of My Face.
You shall know Me in the power of My Resurrection.
Look away to Me. Look away to Me…
Yes, I shall know Him in the fullness of His Spirit.
(Sing it with me.)
I shall know Him in the Glory of His Face.
I shall know Him in the power of the Resurrection.
I’ll look away to Him. I’ll look away to Him.
Could you look beyond this service tonight to Him and sing,
I shall know Him in the fullness of His Spirit.
(Why don’t you just prophecy it to be so tonight.)
I shall know Him in the Glory of His Face.
I shall know Him in the power of His Resurrection.
I’ll look away to Him. I’ll look away to Him.
And then His Spirit sings to us,
You shall know Me in the fullness of My Spirit.
And you shall know Me in the Glory of My Face.
Yes, you shall know Me in the power of My Resurrection.
(Thank You for the promise.)
Look away to Me. Look away to Me.
Then we sing to Him. Come on and sing with me.
I shall know Him in the fullness of His Spirit.
(How many of you mean to do it? Come on.)
I shall know Him in the Glory of His Face.
I shall know Him in the power of His Resurrection.
I’ll look away to Him. I’ll look away to Him.
Slip your hand toward Him and sing that as a statement of faith.
I shall know Him on the fullness…
I Will Give You Strength
July 18, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Anne Tremain
Hearken, I say unto you tonight. This may be the first day of your life. Hearken, I say, unto Me. Give yourselves as you’ve been called. Those that need to labor in My field, you know who you are. Those of you that must labor, I say, “Come.” This is the first day of your life. “Come,” I say. Be that one that I can use. In the Name of Jesus Christ. (I praise You, Lord. Help me, Lord.)
There are those, there are those that are weakened. But I say unto you this night, “Give yourself unto Me and I will give you strength.” I’ve told you before, I will give you strength if you will just step out in My Name. If you will just give yourself to what you have been called to do, I will give you strength. I can do that. Hear Me. I can do that.
I’m not through. I’m not through. But I will see you. You will see Me, and you will know. You will know. I say unto you this night, trust Me. Come unto Me with simplicity and humility. Come unto Me, and you shall receive. Receive! Receive! Receive!
The Season of Plucking Has Come
July 25, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. While we were worshiping the Lord, I saw in the Spirit a field. And I saw plants, beautiful plants growing in rows, very straight and even rows. And I could see that in the leaves of these plants were beautiful fruit, but it was such large and luscious fruit, not really recognizable. I was amazed at the size that was coming from these plants that were only maybe about a foot and a half or two feet tall. But big, luscious fruit the size of a hand. You could pluck them and hold them.
But I saw, and could even feel on my face in the Spirit, the heat as the sun began to beat down upon that field. And the fruit, the leaves of those plants began to wither and hang very limp. And I could hear the Spirit saying, “The season of plucking has come.” There was a great disappointment in my spirit as I saw the leaves withering. And I perceived in my heart or thought that the fruit would surely be ruined.
But I saw the reapers as they began to take these plants down by the bottom, where they would grow in the ground, and pluck up the whole bush and hold it in their hands upside down. And growing from the roots of these plants was bigger fruit, and more luscious and appetizing than that which was taken from the top. And the Lord said, “The time of plucking is come, and I will cause fruit to come forth from the root,” saith the Lord.
And yea, that which has been withered because of the adversary, and yea, that which has fallen away because of the beating heat of the enemy, yea, it shall not be remembered before you anymore. For I will cause such luscious fruit and gorgeous fruit to come forth from the root, saith the Lord. And this fruit with its seed shall remain. For the time of plucking forth has come. And I will show you that which has been hidden in the ground. That which has grown forth from the root, it is greater than that which has been produced from the stalk, saith the Lord.
Have I not said unto thee that I would protect that which was Mine? Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, much fruit has been protected beneath the soil. Receive the season of plucking, saith the Lord. And I will show you the fruit that I have caused to grow forth from the root. For it is in the root that the life comes. And the fruit that groweth closer to the life and closer to the root is about to be manifested, saith the Lord.
Look not to that which you see. Look not to the withering of the vine or the casting forth of the fruit. But yea, I will begin to show you that which is beneath the soil, that which has only been seen in times past by the eyes of the Spirit will now, you will begin to behold, for I will pluck it forth. This is the season of plucking forth, and you will see it even in this coming meeting, saith the Lord. You will see that which I have protected, that which has grown very close to the root. You will see it coming forth, so saith the Lord. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
The Dew of the Lord is falling to refresh us. Hallelujah. Be renewed. Be renewed right now. Be renewed right now, for the dew of the Lord is falling in this House. Be renewed right now as you exalt Him. Get in one mind and one accord with this service right now. Don’t be a spectator, but be a participator, and give God glory while the dew of the Lord is falling to refresh and renew.
Being Touched Uniquely
July 27, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Exhortation given by Sister Joyce Greeley:
Before he, before he spoke about God’s timing, I felt that God was dealing with me about the uniqueness of His dealing with us. And that is uniqueness with us as individuals. There have been times that I have been standing in the Presence of the Lord and I would feel the sweetness of His peace, and I would hear somebody else all of a sudden just begin to ball and squall. And then I would think, “Oh, oh. I’m not getting it. I’m missing it.”
And the Lord was dealing with me how that He deals with each one of us uniquely, and that we are not to look at how He is dealing with another one, to judge how He’s dealing with us. And also, not only as is uniqueness with us as individuals, but also with each time that He meets with us.
You know, last time I might have felt tingles or I might have seen a vision, or I might have been touched with tears or something. But this time it’s a new touch, it’s a different way that He’s dealing with us. And I feel that He’s trying to tell us that He wants us to recognize Him every different time that He deals with us. And not to compare it with other times or with other people.
Brother Shelley:
Right. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Thank God. Well taken. Someone else want to obey the Lord tonight?
The Lord is dealing with someone just now, and it seems a little harsh. And you’re struggling with the delivery of it. But the Lord would just encourage you to be obedient to Him.
My Timing Is Sovereign
July 27, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, yea, behold, there is a time appointed, saith the Lord. And yea, there is a sequence appointed of God. And yea, there is a season appointed of the Lord. There is an hour, and there is a day, and there is a moment. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have moved among you tonight in this strange way to emphasize a point, said God. It’s My desire for you to know that your timing is not My timing, but My timing is sovereign, saith the Lord.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, it is not need for Me to catch up with your timing. But the Lord would say unto thee, I call you to be in My timing, and to know My will, and to know My time, and My season, saith the Lord.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I hear your songs, and I hear your call. But the Lord would say unto thee, many times when I search over this place, looking for a willing vessel, one who would be obedient, one who would see for Me, one who would hear for Me, one who would speak for Me. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am finding it difficult, yea, even hard, to find those who would be willing to speak on My behalf.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, “Why is it that you sing with your mouth, that you want to serve Me with everything? Why is it,” saith the Lord, “that You amen My Word, when My Word calls you to surrender everything. And then, when I am willing and ready to come and move over you, why is it,” saith the Lord, “that you draw back from Me? For have I not spoken unto thee in My Word that I would have no pleasure in those who put their shoulder to the plow, and yet pull away, withdraw.”
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am looking for those who will not only speak words, and not only sing words, saith the Lord, that would call for My Presence to come. But yea, I am looking for lives who are willing to lay their time pieces aside, and they are willing to walk by My clock, saith the Lord.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, My clock is not the clock of a man. For I have a different timing. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I move in the realm of eternity, and yea, I judge thee according to the realm of eternity. And in this last day, that which I desire to do is not earthly. It is not like this earth. It is not like this world. But that which I desire to do is heavenly, and it is eternal. And it is like that which I have done in another realm, saith the Lord.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, you cannot discern it, using the world’s discernment. You must discern it with a heavenly discerning. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will raise up a people, yea, I’ll find that number. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, a number that I have foreordained and chosen, a people that I would place My Name upon them.
Yea, even this night the Lord would say unto thee, it’s not according to Your program. It’s not according to how You desire. But I will carry out that which I have purposed, saith the Lord. And tonight, I search for a man. Yea, I search for a woman, yea, I search for someone who would be My eyes, who would be My ears, who would be My mouthpiece. Yea, those who would see for Me, and hear for Me, and speak for Me.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, heavenly revelations I desire to give unto thee. Make room for Me this night. Yea, do not enter into this time of worship and celebration, saith the Lord. A time of meeting together in My Name. Do not enter into that too busy to hear from Me.
For the Lord would say unto thee, I have called this special time to speak to My Bride, to commune with her, to share My love secrets with her, saith the Lord. And to prepare her for that which is ahead. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, do not storm in, saith the Lord. Do not go in, saith the Lord, with such a quickness about you that you can’t wait upon Me.
For I desire to reveal and unfold My timing. And I can tell you, My timing is contrary to yours. It’s nothing like yours, saith the Lord. Surrender. Surrender your will. Surrender your thoughts, and I will reveal unto thee the secrets of the Kingdom. Yea, the treasures, yea, those things that will give you the encouragement that you need to win the final battle. Yea, I have moved among you this night to prepare you, to prepare you inwardly.
For the Lord would say unto thee, there are not enough of you yet here tonight who are in the Spirit to receive. Yea, willing to receive. Who have come to receive. But I, the Lord, desire to change that. I would change it. I’m willing to change it even in this hour. If you’re willing to lay the stubbornness of your spirit aside, the hardness of your heart aside, and replace it with a spirit to receive.
For I, the Lord, thy God, have more for you than You have room enough to contain. And I desire to shower it upon you, saith the Lord, so that you would be so filled, that you would overflow and spill to the nations of the world. But I’m looking for those with a Spirit to receive.
Where are you, said God. Where are My children, who come to receive all that I have, and who do not despise the chastisements of the Lord. Who do not despise, said God, My Word, and My will, and My precepts. Yea, My commandments. Yea, where is the people who will not despise My Holiness, saith the Lord. Or the Holiness which I have required of you. But who will willingly submit to My will, so see that which I have purposed accomplished in these last days.
Prepare your hearts. Change the stubbornness of your own will, and I will give you a spirit to receive. Yea, and to those who receive that Spirit of receiving, they will not be disappointed. For I am not a God that would let you down, but I will do greater than that which you have imagined, saith the Lord. (Tongues) The Spirit of receiving, Lord.
Give us a mind to receive. Give us a heart to receive. Give us a Spirit to receive. Give us a willingness to receive. May there be no resistance in us when we come into Your Presence. May we not come with our backbones squared, but may we come broken and ready.
No Longer Our Option
July 27, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Exhortation given by Brother John Heisey
The Lord has been dealing with me for a few minutes. Well, the last fifteen, twenty minutes. And He’s been saying, “It’s not your option any more. You’ve come too far to option Me. It’s My option to do what I need to do.” And the Lord says… In other words, “You’ve got to do what My Word says, and what the Lord has spoken here earlier this evening, we need to do to go into this Revival that we’re going into.
And let it not be an option whether you’re going to serve Him, or whether you’re going to pray. Or whether we’re going to serve the Lord the way we’ve been instructed. And it’s just been coming to me that it’s not our option any more. We have heard enough to go forward, and do what we need to do. And I believe this is Thus Saith the Lord tonight, and I thank Him for it.
Brother Shelley:
It’s no longer our timing. It’s His timing. It’s no longer when we get ready, it’s when He’s ready. Oh, I tell you, we used to emphasize that. In the church in Revival days, we used to emphasize that you can’t come to the Lord when you want to. It was when He called you. If He doesn’t call you, you can weep all night and not come to the Lord.
Someone else was receiving something a little, almost in the form of rebuke. And you don’t want to be obedient. But I understand. I’ve been there hundreds and thousands of times. Maybe God would use that little word to speak to someone. He has spoken to me tonight already. I appreciate it. I appreciate what He said. Hallelujah. Thank You, Lord.
Thick Ice in Front of Pulpit
July 27, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Dream given to Sister Helga Pederson:
I was dreaming I was coming to the campmeetings, and it was many steps and many people sitting there. And in the front of the pulpit, it was ice. Ice. Thick ice. And I didn’t know how to come there. I didn’t know what to do, you know, because I couldn’t go on that ice. So I had to… The only thing is, I had to go. I must go.
And I was, it was little place on the wall I could go, you know. But I went down. I can’t remember more than that. But it was… Sometimes I really have some dreams. I didn’t, was thinking to tell you about it, but now I have. Yes. Amen.
Brother Shelley:
She knew that she had to come down, but there was thick ice blocking her from coming. So she went around by the wall to get down close. Being from Norway, that would be one reason why the Lord might deal with her concerning ice. But it could be in the Spirit. Anything to hinder from getting where we need to be in God, and looking for a way to get what we know God has for us. Instead of letting things stand in our way. How many of you know we so many times let things stand in our way?
Real Hunger to Receive
July 27, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Lord, I’m hungry for a mighty move of God…
Let this Word live.
Lord, I’m hungry…
I’ve heard the Lord tonight. And I have discerned that He has a sovereign will for this meeting. And I know there are some here tonight that you’re just here in body. Not just one, but several. You’re not here, only in body. You’re not here to receive. But the Lord is desiring tonight to touch you, if you’d let Him. And give you that Spirit to receive whatever He has.
You’re never going to prosper and grow. None of us will, unless we’re willing to receive what the Lord has for us. It’s not always what we want. It’s not always what we think we need. But if we come with a true Spirit to receive, then we have to receive whatever it is that the Lord sees that we have need of. Amen?
Amen. And I can’t touch your heart. I can’t soften you, and I can’t make you pliable. But I want you to know, God’s not a God that has to jump when we say jump. And He doesn’t have to move when we tell Him to move. But He’s sovereign tonight. He said, I don’t have to anoint somebody just because they sing a song for Me. I don’t have to anoint somebody just because they preach a Word for me. He’s sovereign. Hallelujah.
Just because we do something doesn’t mean that God has to come and anoint it. But how many of you want to be anointed?
If you’re here in this service tonight… And we’re not going to tarry at all. But if you’re here, and I’m sure there’s lots who’d search your heart for just a moment and say, ask this question, “Am I in a frame of mind and spirit to receive from the Lord in these camp meetings? Do I have an anointing to receive? Am I, is my mind prepared to receive? Is my heart prepared to receive whatever God has? Am I entering in to these coming meetings with a reception, and with a desire to meet with God?
And if you have searched your mind and heart, and you realize that there is not that real hunger to receive, and that you’re not in a spirit to receive from the Lord like you need to be, maybe the Lord would touch you tonight. Maybe the Lord would help you tonight.
And I wonder, all over this building… Nobody’s looking around at anybody else. Search your own heart right now. It could apply to 99 per cent of us. It could apply to a hundred per cent of us. I don’t know. But I know that God didn’t make a mistake in this service.
And I feel the opposition of the enemy. But he’s defeated. He’s defeated. I want you to know that the Spirit of God doesn’t need your permission to move in this service the way that He wants to. He doesn’t need my permission.
When we keep walking the walk, and talking the talk, and singing the song, but our heart is no longer sincere, then we’re walking in hypocrisy. And we’re no more than a hypocrite before God. And it’s easier to become a hypocrite than what we want to admit. It’s so easy to say the right words, but the sincerity of our heart is missing.
Just like all the times we can say, “I’m sorry” to one another, but if we’re not sincere about it, it’s just words. Come on. It doesn’t mean anything.
If you’re here tonight and you say, “No, I’m not in a right spirit to receive in these camp meetings, but I’d like for the Lord to help me tonight to be in such a frame of mind that I could receive whatever He has for me, whoever He wants to use to deliver it, and whatever method God has. I’d like to have a better spirit to receive tonight.
Would you just come and slip this way, if you feel that way tonight? Don’t come if you don’t even feel the witness of what I’m saying, or even understand what I’m trying to explain, what the Spirit is trying to explain, and what the Spirit is trying to express. But if you realize that it could apply to you, then I want us to just come for a moment of prayer. Let’s pray that God will break every hindrance in this House tonight, that God would just bless and move upon those who have that desire to receive.
I’m hungry for a move of God…
Let’s be honest.
Lord, I’m hungry for a mighty move of God…
If you’ve come tonight because you feel the need, then you pray right now. You pray right now. You tell the Lord the need of your heart. You tell the Lord that you desire a spirit to receive from His hand, that you’re hungry for whatever it is that He would serve. You want more of Him. And whatever way He would desire to pour it out, you want more of God. Don’t let the enemy bog you down right now, but release yourself in prayer.
Don’t be distracted from telling the Lord that you are ready for a spirit to receive. Oh God … (Tongues) Jesus, open our hearts tonight. Oh God, prepare us what You might have for us. You said, it was an appointed time, oh God. It is an appointed time. We don’t want to miss our appointment with Thee. God, we don’t want to let circumstances, obligations hinder us from our appointment with You. Oh, may we rearrange our lives tonight, so that we don’t miss our appointment. Hallelujah…
Oh God, may we not miss the hour and day of our visitation. Lord, let revival break out in our own lives. Let us be revived, from the crown of our head to the soles of our feet. Oh, let us be lined up with the timing of the Lord, with the will of God. May we walk in Your will, Lord, and Your time. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [Unclear audio]
Let our hearts match our words. Let our lives… God, may we just quit saying that we… Let me just have grace to quit saying it, Lord, if we can’t live the life. Oh God, if we’re not willing to pay the price, if we’re not willing to die, let us not deceive ourselves. Let us come to the place, Lord, we are willing to say, “Lord, here I am. Take me. I’ll go where You want me to go. What You want me to do. Regardless of the consequences, regardless of the price. Regardless of the cost.
Lord, let there be a passion, overwhelming passion. Stir up in the lives of each one, Lord, the desire to receive from You. Lord, let us quit going through the motions, oh God. Lord, each one of us that might be guilty from time to time, just playing along in church.
Lord, convict our hearts tonight. Convict our lives, oh God, that we would be rededicated to You, and consecrated to You, that we make a fresh covenant with You. Oh God, forgive our backslidings tonight. Lord, forgive the lukewarmness of our hearts. Lord, help us tonight to be a flame of Fire. Lord, help us to be so consumed with the zeal of the Lord, that it just gets on others.
Let us just spill over with heavenly influence to influence others, Lord, to go all the way. Father, let there be some of us go so far in the Spirit, that others are able to look upon us and see the change, see the difference, oh God, that it might create a hunger in them to go all the way.
Lord, may we pull out the stops tonight, and go all the way, Lord. Go all the way. Give us grace tonight to go all the way. Lord, if we should have to run all the way, and press all the way, give us grace to do it. Give us strength to do it.
We bind every demon power. We rebuke Satan in the Name of Jesus Christ. We take authority over every demon power of hell that’s put its clutches on the children of God. We take authority over every demonic hold. We bind every spirit that would torment the children of God. We command every demon power to loose his hold. We command, oh God, in Your precious Name, that the Holy Ghost would raise up a standard against the very discouraging works of the devil. Let the Holy Ghost raise up a standard against every spirit that would cause our flesh to be lazy about spiritual things.
We ask You, Lord, to raise up a standard against every demon power of hell that would cause us to sit still and not go forward for Thee, oh Lord, in this hour of moving forth. May we not be an army retreating, but may we be an army against him. May we advance, oh God, with great fervor, with great zeal. May each one pass the test. (Tongues)
Lord, we receive tonight. Lord, we receive tonight. Give us wisdom to receive that which is for us, to reject that which is not for us. Hallelujah. I’ve obeyed the Lord tonight. Perhaps there’s someone else.
Yield Yourselves to Me
August 1, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee,
If you will yield of yourselves to Me,
I will show Myself great among you, saith the Lord.
If you will yield of your strength, and yield of yourself,
I will come down and commune with thee.
Yea, I will speak unto thee in a sure and a mighty Voice,
A Voice that you cannot doubt.
But you will know that it is I, saith the Lord.
I will remove your doubts, and I will calm your fears,
And I will cause you to sit together in heavenly places,
In My Glory. In My Glory.
So yield yourself unto Me, saith the Lord,
And I will sit upon your praise.
I will make My Throne in your praise.
I will take My seat in your worship.
I will be exalted because of your sacrifice.
So yield of yourself. Step into the Glory of the Lord,
And I will show Myself mighty.
Great and mighty works shall I do.
Great and mighty works shall I speak.
Great and mighty deeds shall be accomplished in My Name,
If you can believe.
Only believe. Only believe and I will do it for thee,
Saith the Lord.
Saith the Lord.
Be Renewed by the Dew of the Lord
August 1, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
The dew of the Lord is falling to refresh us. Hallelujah. (Tongues) Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Be renewed. Be renewed right now. Come on. Be renewed right now, for the dew of the Lord is falling in this House.
Be renewed right now as you exalt Him. Get in one mind and one accord with this service right now. Don’t be a spectator, but be a participator, and give God glory while the dew of the Lord is falling to refresh and renew.
Mercy Rain
August 1, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw the mercy rain of Heaven falling around me, and the dew of the Lord. Hallelujah. I saw the glistening of His Glory, as He began to minister unto us, as we began to cry, “Holy, holy, holy,”
As we began to sow our praises like a sower would go forth to sow seed in the earth. But when the saints of the most high God begin to praise the Lord and worship Him, it’s like sowing our praises into the heavens. When we lift Him up, when we exalt Him, when we magnify Jesus, it’s like sowing seeds heavenward. Hallelujah. And that which you sow to heaven, you shall reap also. Hallelujah.
War Cry of the Spirit
August 4, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’m struggling in my spirit, because the Lord showed me a little something while we were worshiping the Lord tonight. And I looked for an opportunity to share it. I couldn’t find it. And I know it’s not my time to speak.
But the Lord just is so troubling me, I can’t turn loose of the service because it could be confirmation to someone else. I know we shouldn’t have to have it, but sometimes we say, “Now Lord, if You’ll just show somebody else that,” or something.
I saw something very strange in the Spirit while we were worshiping the Lord. I saw an Indian headdress. You know what I’m talking about? Don’t you? Like a chief would wear. Long. I came long. It wasn’t on anyone’s head; it was just lying there. But it was long to the ground, and I knew that the feathers were eagle’s feathers.
And I stay away from Indian things, although I’m a quarter Cherokee Indian, because so many of their beautiful artifacts and things have connections to their worship and their religion. But I know that this is something like a war bonnet that I’m talking about.
And I heard a sound that sounded like an Indian would make, with his hand over his mouth. You’ve heard it, you know. Uh, uh, uh, I could hear that sound, and I heard a voice speaking in my spirit. “It is a war cry.”
And I said, “Lord, what kind of war?” And the Spirit of God said, “I am waging war against spiritual principalities, wickedness in high places.” And He said, “I’m directing the warfare from this campground, from this Tabernacle the war cry is going out.” And He said, “It’s not the war cry of men, but,” He said, “The war cry of the Spirit.”
And then I heard that sound again. Something like that. But it sounded a little higher and a little shriller. And I remembered one night, Brother Andrews, I was in Tanzania in Africa, preaching in a school building. It was an unusual service. We were packed in. My host was the Agricultural director for the United Nations for the country of Tanzania, in Dar-Es-Salaam. But we were in a very humble school building.
And after we had had the meeting, there were Pastors from everywhere, pushing to get to me to invite me to their church, but there was no time to go. We had to travel on. But they had some kind of little fellowship thing at the end. Remember? Like a line. Like what we would call almost a Congo-line, a marching line. They were all moving like this.
They walked, went out in the hall and made a loop, and were moving through that room. It was the end of the service and they were worshiping. And all of a sudden, a woman let out a scream. It pierced my blood. It was high. Does anybody know what I’m talking about? a-a-a-a-a-a-… Something like that. And it touched my spirit. It went right down into the inner being.
And they told me that in those countries of Africa, including Ethiopia, that that is a cry to the king. When the king is going to appear, they scream that high pitched scream. “R-r-r-da.da.da-da-da.” But It’s higher and more melodious than that. And it to welcome the king.
I was in camp meeting in Virginia in the wintertime, two years ago, and Sister Ruth Heflin spoke of that cry. She said, “I’ve heard that cry in nations of the world.” And there was a black brother there, who could make that sound.
And she said, “Well brother, do it.” And he did it, and it pierced my spirit again. It was a homage, a welcome to The King.
So what I heard in the Spirit started out like this, “Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.” And then it took that shrill sound. So I realized, what I was hearing were two cries. One was the cry of war, the war cry. And the other cry was the cry to welcome the King. Hallelujah.
And I must tell you that I’m excited tonight to know that the Spirit was saying, that both cries are moving out from this place. Hallelujah. The war cry, the cry for battle. And the cry to welcome The King. Hallelujah.
How many of you believe The King is in the House? I know He is. I know He is because He reigns on the Throne of my soul. Hallelujah. Glory. Hallelujah. So the war cry is going out, and God, the Spirit, is waging war against principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places.
And I immediately began to think about friends and loved ones that we have been praying for. A few Sunday nights ago, there came such a burden. (Or Tuesday night, whatever night it was.) And we began to call the names of those that we love, and those that have broken, some of them, fellowship with us. Backsliders. We began to call their name out. And my, what a burden came in the service.
And now the Spirit said, “I’m waging war against the principalities that hold them and that bind them.” Hallelujah.
I’m going to release my faith tonight, and I’m going to believe that before these camp meetings are over, that we’ll see some of them set free by the power of God. Let’s believe it tonight. Every devil says no. Every demon says, “It can’t be.” Every spiritual wickedness says, “I’ll not turn them loose.”
But I want you to know, when the Spirit ushers forth that war cry, then the devil can’t hold them anymore. He can’t blind them anymore. Hallelujah…
And let’s remember the Word that the Lord gave us tonight before the brother came for the Word. Let’s remember that war cry that’s going forth in the Heavenlies. Oh, and God said, “I’m letting it usher forth from this place.” And then He said, “There came that other shrill cry.” He said, “That’s the cry that welcomes The King.”
Filled to Overflowing with New Oil
August 5, 1999 (Thursday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Bring your vessels, saith the Lord. Bring your vessels, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, bring your vessels. For I will fill them even this night, saith the Lord, with My Oil, the Oil of My Presence, saith God, the Oil of My Glory, the Oil of My Anointing.
Yea, I will fill you, saith the Lord, if you will bring your vessels. Yea, bring them now. Bring them now. Do not hesitate. Do not tarry, saith the Lord, but bring your vessel before Me. And I will fill thee this night with the Oil of Heaven, saith the Lord. And it will be an Oil of gladness to you. It will be an Oil of strength to you. It will be an Oil of joy to you. It will be an Oil of faith to you. It will anoint you. It will strengthen you and empower you, saith the Lord. And it will remind you of who you are and what authority you have in Me.
Present your vessel unto Me, saith the Lord, and I will fill you tonight with fresh Oil. You say, “Lord, I’ve been filled.” But tonight I’ll fill you again and run you over, if you’re willing, saith the Lord. Be willing tonight, and present yourself unto me. And I will fill you to overflowing, saith the Lord.
Golden Stream of Oil
August 5, 1999 (Thursday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see in the Spirit right now, a golden stream of oil coming down from Heaven, just a golden stream of pure oil. And I can see the movement in the oil as it ripples forth, as it comes down. And it’s golden in color. It’s rich and it’s pure, and it’s fresh oil. And the Lord is saying tonight, “You can have a part of that oil. You can have a part of that Glory.”
Let the warm oil of the Holy Spirit flow over you right now. Let the Glory of God anoint your heart right now to receive the Word. For the fresh oil of Heaven is flowing from this place tonight. Let’s praise Him for it. Hallelujah.
Pouring out Your Glory…
I still see it. (Tongues)
Pouring out Your Glory…
Souls Hungry for What God Has/ Birds Stretching Forth Their Necks for Feeding
August 9, 1999 (Monday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were singing that song and moving about in the Spirit, I saw a map of the world. And I saw the nations of that Western Hemisphere. I could see Europe, and I could see Africa, and I could see Asia. And I was even able to look down and see Australia. And coming up from the map was little heads, like little birds.
And I could see little heads raising up over the map, over the nations of the world. And I knew that it was little heads, representing souls that are hungry for what God has given to this people, the Bride of Christ. And I knew they were human beings, but they had little beaks on them, just like little birds, when a little bird will raise up his neck and stretch it up to take the worm from the mother.
I’m reminded tonight of a vision the Lord gave me and a prophecy, where He said, “Draw the nations of the world to your breast, and give them suck, for I have chosen you for that purpose.” And He said, “You’ve become engorged. You’ve got more milk in your breast than what you’ve been giving out.” And it’s a very painful thing when the glands and the milk ducts for a woman become engorged. It’s a painful thing.
I want you to know tonight, I see the little nations of the world raising up their hungry heads, to receive the revelation of Jesus Christ. And I ask you tonight in the Name of the Lord, who will feed them? Who will let go tonight? Is there anyone in this place that will let go tonight, and let God take you to the nations of the world?
Brother, sister, we have that which the world is crying for. We’ve been given, and it’s been entrusted into our hands, the very Life that the nations are crying for. Let’s ask God tonight to give us a vision. Let’s ask the Lord to give us a burden to let go and let God use us however he sees fit to use us in the nations of the world. Hallelujah.
Even as I just ponder now, I can see the little heads raising up from off the map, stretching their necks like little birds to hear the words of the Lord. How precious the Word of God is, when it comes with deliverance and life? How many of you’ll just ask the Lord to show you what part you could play in taking the great Message of Truth to the world?
Let’s just slip our hands up right now and say, “Lord, use me. Oh God, I’m going to let go tonight. I’m going to let go, oh God, of everything that hinders me. I’m going to let go of that which has made me comfortable. And I’m going to stretch myself out of my comfort zone tonight, so that I might be able to be a blessing to hungry lives around the world.”
Zoe Life of God Being Imparted
August 12, 1999 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I feel Life being imparted in this place. I feel a pulse. I feel a pulse on the side of my cheek that’s stronger than my own pulse. I feel a thumping coming down across my jaw, that’s stronger and swifter than my own heartbeat. I feel Life being imparted in this place.
Receive the Life of God. Be ye new creatures. Let the Life of God… (Tongues) Feel the heartbeat of the Lord, and let His very Life flow into you right now. Let the very Zoe of God flow into your spirit right now. (Tongues) Hallelujah.
Even though I’m still talking, standing here, I can feel that right across my jaw, thumping of a heartbeat that’s stronger and swifter than my own. Let God impart to you His Life. Let Him reveal to you His heartbeat. See and know the heart of God. See and know the heart of God. See and know the heart of God tonight. (Tongues)
I yield to You, Lord, right now. I yield myself. The Spirit of God is moving heavily in this place still. The Spirit is moving heavily in this place. (Tongues)
Oh. I feel the heaviness. I feel even the heaviness of the Glory of God moving around me. (Tongues) I feel to say right now. I feel to say, the visitation of the Lord, the visitation of the Lord. Receive the visitation of the Lord. Receive the visitation of the Lord.
Some of you may begin to feel, while you’re standing there, the weariness. Your body just beginning to waver, because I could feel that heaviness of God coming to press over my spirit. Hallelujah. It’s the only kind of heaviness that’s a good one. It’s the only kind of heaviness that’s a good heaviness, and I could just feel the heaviness of the weight of the Glory of God beginning to settle over my spirit.
I’m happy tonight. Oh, I’m happy tonight. Oh, I’m happy. (Tongues) The visitation of the Lord. The visitation of the Lord. The visitation of the Lord. Oh. Receive, receive with gladness. Receive with joy. Receive the visitation of the Lord. Hallelujah.
Yes. A great weightiness. Receive right now. Lord, I receive the weightiness of Your Glory. The heaviness of Thy Glory. I receive the visitation of the Lord.
Just relax in His Glory right now. The River’s flowing over you. Just relax in His Glory. Let there be no resistance in your spirit or in your body, just let the River of God flow over you right now and rest you in the Spirit.
Storm Hitting Savannah
August 13, 1999 (Friday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’ll tell you what I saw in the Spirit. I wasn’t going to tell this. But I’ll tell you what I saw in the Spirit, and I know it was the Lord and I know right where it was. I saw over here, in the Spirit, around Savannah, and up the Coast there, I saw it blown away like Charleston. And I don’t know when it’ll happen.
I don’t know when it’s going to come, but I saw a storm, must have been a terrible storm, because I saw it blown away just like Rainbow Row in Charleston, South Carolina. I went over there after Hugo hit, and I’ll tell you, them beautiful homes they had on the Coast out there, it just destroyed them.
Does anybody know what Rainbow Row is? Anybody seen it, those beautiful colored houses out there? Just swept through there and took them away. The reason I know it was Savannah, ‘cause I used to live in Brunswick, and I’m familiar with Savannah. And I’ll tell you, there is no place in the world that has that Georgia moss like they do over there on the Coast, the Georgia moss hanging down out of the trees. It’s different. You can go to South Carolina on the Coast and see that moss, but it’s not like the moss over there. I saw Annabellum Homes. So I know that’s what it was.
You see, I’m so glad I’m in the Bride of Jesus Christ. It’s like being in the eye of the hurricane. Hallelujah. The storm blowing all around you. You know, this last hurricane hit Mississippi over here. A brother was telling us at the tent meeting, that a big old huge tree fell on his mother’s house, came across her bed. If she had been in the bed, it would have killed her. And the eye came right over there. And when the eye moved on, then the terrible storm came over. And it’s such a fearful thing, fearful thing.
The elements, God’s angry. God’s angry. Somebody just say, “God’s angry.” He is. But oh, I’m glad I found favor with Him. He may get disappointed with me, but I’m glad, He’s not angry with me. I found favor with Him, hallelujah. Prayer is still a great key.
Row of Angels
August 14, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jane Shelley
Tonight when Sister Tremain was talking about the angels, I looked over to the left and I saw a row of angels standing there, wing to wing. And I want to thank the Lord that He is forever faithful, forever mindful.
I Have Found a People
August 15, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Adelaida Vidal & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
The Lord would say unto thee. It is not, “I will have a people,” but it is, “I have a people,” saith the Lord. I’m not looking for a people, I have found a people, saith the Lord. A people that will hear My Voice, a people that will obey My Word, a people that will be strong and do exploits in this last day, saith the Lord.
Let it be known in your heart that I am not searching for a Bride. I have found a Bride. I’m not looking for a people to bestow My Spirit upon, I have found a people in every nation of the world, of every kindred and every tongue. And yea, I’m getting ready, saith the Lord, to fill her with the fullness of Who I AM.” I’m getting ready to manifest Myself through her, saith the Lord. And I will call a final harvest, saith the Lord.
The Lord would say unto thee this night, you’re entering in, yea, saith the Lord. You’re entering into a new time. Yea, I prophesy over you, I prophesy to the youth, saith the Lord. Yea, I speak to you as lambs. You’re entering into a new season.
The Lord would say unto thee as young people, I’m calling you to that place of yieldedness. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I visited all of you when you were children. When you were small you would lay under My power. You’ve seen the Glory of God outpoured upon your life. But you’ve allowed your age, and you’ve allowed the things of this life to cause you not to be yielded to Me.
But the Lord would say unto thee, I have called you to this place for such a time as this. And I’m getting ready to release you into a yieldedness and a zeal and a burden, that’s going to set this place on Fire. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, a Fire is coming for the young people. And it will quickly spread to the older ones, saith the Lord, for I will reignite the revival. And it will come in newness. It will come in freshness and newness. And it will be even as though it has never been before.
It will be so new and so precious and so fresh. But the difference is, you now have wisdom. You now have experience in how to move in My Spirit. And I will once again cause revival to flow in your midst. But this time you’ll be able to flow in the River to bring deliverance to those who come. To the young people the Lord is speaking now. And I would say unto thee, prepare yourself to be the channel that I will use swiftly, quickly. For I’m coming unto thee even this night, saith the Lord.
Rip & Rend Your Heart
September 5, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Spirit of the Lord said right now, “I’m looking for a bendable people.” He said, “I’m looking for a people that I can move on, and they’ll bend with Me, they’ll flow as I flow, and bend as I bend.” But in times past, you have been a people, saith the Lord, so rigid, so stiff, that I’ve not been able to bend you with the wind of My Spirit.
But the Lord would say unto thee this night, if you will rend your heart, if you will allow your heart to be torn before Me… the Lord would say unto thee. I’m not calling for the tearing of your garment. I’m calling for the tearing of your heart.
For the Lord would say, “It is a custom in days gone by, when there was a separation in a family, when someone was disowned or disinherited, there was many times the ripping of a garment, saith the Lord, symbolizing a death. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have seen the tearing of your garment, and I’ve watched you go and mend the garment, or I’ve watched you go and make another one just like the one you’ve torn, forgetting the things that you died to.
But yea the Lord would say unto thee this night, I am not calling unto thee to rend your garment any longer. I’m calling thee to rip and rend your heart. For it is My desire to move upon thee in a heavy fashion. Yea, it is My desire to cover thee, even like a cocoon, saith the Spirit of the Lord, that I would be able to move among thee, and you would be bendable and obedient.
And yea, when I would flow in one direction, you would be able bend. And when My Spirit would turn and flow in another direction, you would be able to bend in that manner, saith the Lord. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, allow yourself to be broken before Me.
For the things that I am about to do among you will cause you great joy and great rejoicing, saith the Lord. But in order to eat that which I have already gotten for you, you must allow me this night to flow among you in such a way that you’re willing to respond. Respond unto Me, saith the Lord. And I will flow among you with the depth of the river of My Anointing. And yea, I will cause you to dwell in the places of joy, saith the Lord.
The Sharpened Word
September 12, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For even now, saith the Lord, the Sword is being sharpened. Yea, My Word is being sharpened in this hour, saith the Lord. And yea, I would say unto thee, the things that you have read and the things that you have heard, that have not affected you in any way, the Lord would say unto thee, it’ll not be so in this coming hour. For My Word is being sharpened. And it is sharper than a two-edged sword.
Yea, I’m not saying unto thee that the Word is changing, for My Word is forever settled in heaven. But I’m saying that the application of My Word is becoming greater. And yea, I’m sharpening it, so that it will cut going in and cut going out.
For the Lord would say unto thee, Satan has desired to place upon thee growths. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even as a surgeon would go in and cut out the growth, yea, the mutated cells, and those things that are not normal to the physical frame of the body. Yea, I the Lord thy God will cut with My sharp Word. And I will cut out the growth, that which is growing within you that is not of My Word and not Spirit born.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will remove the cancerous cells that desire to multiply and spread, until they have eaten away the good Word that I have planted in thee before. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, allow My Word, that sharp Word, that Sword that I have placed among thee, yea, even the King’s Sword, let it pierce. Let it cut.
For the Lord would say unto thee, there is a Balm in Gilead. There is a Balm in Gilead. There is a Balm in Gilead. Receive the sharpened Word. For it has not come to destroy thee or smite thee. For the Lord would say unto thee, the same sharp edge that could cut thee, that could steal your life, that could destroy you, but I will use that same sharp edge not to destroy. But I will use it to cut asunder and bring healing to My Body.
For the Lord would say unto thee, if I allow that cancerous growth to continue, yea, it will spread throughout the Body. Yea, that which is rotting and that which is cancer and that which is eating and destroying must be severed, saith the Lord, before it affects the health of the entire Body. Prepare yourselves, saith the Lord. For I will cut aside that which is full of gangrene. I will cut aside that which is full of cancer. And I will take out from the very root of it, saith the Lord, that which has come to spread and to bring fever to the Body.
For the Lord would say unto thee, when the body goeth into fever, it’s because the body is releasing the soldiers, the anti-bodies that I have placed within it to fight infection and disease. And because of the swiftness of the movement of those anti-bodies, it elevates the temperature of the body and brings fever.
The Lord would say unto thee, there is fever in the Body tonight. There’s fever in the Body. The Lord would say unto thee, you can look at it and say, “It’s because infection and mutation is present.” Or you can say that the fever is here because I’m releasing the angels of Glory. I’m releasing the antibodies of heaven to go in and attack that which Satan has tried to place in the midst of you to destroy the Body.
Yea, there is a warfare being raged right now in the Heavenlies. And I will overcome. Doubt not in your heart that I will not conquer. For I am the Mighty Conqueror. And the Lord would say unto thee, that which a Satan has sent to try to bring mutation and destruction to the Body, will swiftly be cut away with the Sword of My Word, and you will be healed. So saith the Lord.
Cutting Off the Weights
September 12, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Greeley
For this is the day I will speak to My people. And I will cut every weight off of her, for she cannot carry these weights to the world. But she has been called to do a great and mighty work in My Name; therefore, I will use My Word as a sharp two-edged Sword to cut off every weight, that she can be a vessel of honor to go into every nation.
I will not fail you, saith the Lord. But I will carry you where I want you to go. You may think that things are lagging behind, but you are operating in my time line, saith God. And I will lead you in just the right time to all the nations.
When My Word has cut off all the weights that you do not need to carry to the nations, but when you are full of My Glory, then will I carry you to all nations, that they may see the Glory of the Lord in you, and not the weights that you have carried for so long. Let My Word cut the weights off of you, and let My Spirit be in you. And be filled with My Glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
[Ed., Brother Greeley prays and praises the Lord.]
Searing the Wound
September 12, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But I saw in the Spirit that Sword that the Lord was talking about, that was sharp on both edges. The Bible called it a two-edged Sword. And the Spirit of God said, “It can cut going in and cut going out.”
But I saw a wound on a side that looked like an abdomen, looked like maybe where the appendix would be or something, low on the abdomen. I could see the bare flesh. And I could see a wound that was pussy, filled with infection. And I knew that this was on the battlefield. I knew in the Spirit. I don’t know how to tell you I knew, but I knew. If you’ve ever been there, you know what I’m talking about. There wasn’t a sign that said, “This is a battlefield.” But I knew in vision I was in a battlefield. And I knew there was no hospital. And I knew that this was a serious situation.
And I saw a sword and a little fire, a little camp fire. And I saw the hand of what looked like maybe a comrade, lay the blade of that sword down upon hot coals of fire. And I watched the steel of that blade become so hot that I could almost see through it. How many of you’ve seen metal be that hot? I could almost see through it.
And I saw the hand of the comrade take that sword and with the very edge, tip, the very tip of that sword, just barely pierced the skin like this, barely piercing the skin. And it just released a pressure.
I had an infection in my finger one time, and I took a pin, a needle, and heated it up and reached in there. And when I did, it popped, because there was pressure in that in infection. And I saw that in that wound.
I don’t want to give too many details and make you miss the point. But I could see that pressure. But there was something in there. I don’t know if it was a bullet or what it was. I couldn’t tell. But there was something dark in that wound. And this long-bladed sword (Watch me.) was used to make a larger incision. And I saw with fingers (how unsanitary) whatever this object was, was lifted out of the open wound, with just fingertips. And it looked like maybe a bullet of something, or some foreign object.
But the thing that stays with me right now was, I saw that sword laid back in the fire to be heated again red hot, almost to see through it. And I saw those fingers take the flesh and pinch the skin to try to close it. And believe it or not, that hot sword was laid on the skin. And do you know what it did? It seared the skin. And I could hear the screaming of the patient, whoever he was. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was you.
But I saw what happened. The heat of that sword had closed the wound. It had seared the flesh and melted (just say it like that) the skin together. Now I don’t know if that’s ever been done, but I suppose that that was things like that were probably done on the battlefield. Don’t you imagine? Because it was a lot safer to close that wound than to leave it open.
And I believe God’s doing that right now not for just one person, but for many of us who still have foreign objects… And I like the idea that it might be bullets. Is there anybody here tonight that’s had a bullet or two shot at them? But God wants to take that Sword… That same Sword that can cut, can also close the wound. And the Balm of Gilead…
On Fire, Not Lukewarm
September 19, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Sister Flo Hendrix
As we were worshiping the Lord… For the last few weeks the Lord has been dealing with me about being on fire, the Fire of the Holy Ghost. And I was… This may sound a little strange, but you know, me and the Lord, we’re strange anyway.
But it was like a tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel there was just heaven. But going through that tunnel it was like… I don’t mean to sound bad, but it was like maggots. And if you were red hot, when those maggots came at you, it would kill them. The heat. But if you were lukewarm, they would just eat you up. It was just like I could see… It was like I could see people that’s lukewarm, like they don’t pray enough. They don’t study the Word of God enough, and they get lukewarm.
And when they would go through that tunnel, those maggots would just destroy them, just eat them up. It’s like you’ve got to be on fire, you’ve got to be really anointed to go through that, to come out on the other side. Pray for me. I know we’re going to need strength…
Deeper, Higher, Farther in Your Anointing
September 26, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
Deeper in Your Anointing; take us deeper.
Take us deeper.
Deeper in Your Anointing; take us deeper.
Take us deeper…
Farther in Your Anointing; take us farther.
Take us farther.
Farther in Your Anointing; take us farther.
Take us farther…
Higher in Your Anointing; take us higher.
Take us higher.
Higher in Your Anointing; take us higher.
Take us higher…
The spirit said, “Sing farther again.” Sing farther.
Farther in Your Anointing; take us farther.
Take us farther.
Farther in Your Anointing; take us farther.
Take us farther.
The Unveiling of the Masterpiece Is at Hand
September 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And then a few moments later I heard the voice of the Lord say, “The unveiling of the masterpiece is at hand.” And He was speaking to me.
My wife and I said something the other day. We didn’t have a long conversation about it, but we made mention to the fact that there’s hardly anybody in here who will minister to me. I know you’ll pray for me, and I know you do pray for me.
But I don’t doubt that there are times that God would give you something that I need to hear. But I guess I’m just such a ominous or huge figure that you’re intimidated to come and tell me. So I often have to go to other places to get a Word from the Lord. But I appreciated Him tonight speaking to me. I needed to hear this. He said, “The unveiling of the masterpiece is at hand.”
And then to me personally He said, “Do not look at the condition of the Church now. It is not an indication of what she will be. There is a work still in progress.” Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank You for it, Lord. And then…
Laser Surgery on the Eye
September 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw a vision that looked to me like an eye surgery taking place. And of course now we’re believing the Lord for Brother Tebo. And I believe that things can have two meanings. Don’t you? I just pray this happens for him in the natural. But he testified that his infection cleared up the next morning. And Brother Billy told me that he said he’d seen some things, some little things around. I just long to see him run with them long legs all over this tabernacle, and tell us that God has done it. This is the day for those kinds of miracles to happen. We’re living in the day for that to happen.
I saw what looked like an eye surgery taking place. The eye was skimmed and clouded over, like cataracts were covering the lens of the eye. I saw what looked like a laser light. It was reddish orange in color, and like a pen light come across the pupil. But the thing that was so… I don’t know very much about cataract surgery, but I do know that they do it with lasers now. I do know that. But I have no idea if this is how it happens, what I’m about to say.
But I saw layer after layer being pulled off. My mind would think that in a real cataract surgery they just cut it all off. I don’t know. Take it all off. But I saw what looked like layer after layer of clouded tissue being pulled away, cut away and pulled away from the lens. And the voice, who I assumed to be the doctor, but spiritually, He would be the Physician said, “I see it has been a long time since he was able to see, but now the hindrance is gone. He will see clearly again.”
Let’s believe. I don’t know who “he” is. The Church is usually referred to in the feminine, but I claim that for this Body tonight. Hallelujah. He said, “It has been a long time since he was able to see, but now the hindrance has gone and he will see clearly again.
Carried Away into Captivity Because You Would Not Walk in the Law
September 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As Sister Joyce was testifying to us, exhorting us, I heard the Lord say, “I have allowed you,” speaking to the Body, “to be carried away…” Listen. This is the most serious. Everyone here needs to hear this. I just sow it into your spirit right now in the Name of the Lord. Every person here needs to hear this.
He said, “I have allowed you to be carried away into captivity, because you would not walk in the law of the Spirit that I have revealed unto you. But if you will sing the songs of Zion in the strange land of bondage, I will bring you out on a song and on a shout. Footsteps means possession.
Let your hands be lifted up before Me, and your tongues be lifted up in praise. Let your feet dance before Me and your knees be bowed, submitting your wills unto Me. For the time of your captivity is almost over, and you will be free, so saith the Lord.”
Be Strengthened
October 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word directed to Brother Greeley
My son, be strengthened at this moment. Every circumstance that would cause you to shake and that would cause you to worry, put it in My hands, because I have a people that are waiting to hear from Me. And I will use you as the vessel. And so you don’t have to worry about any of the circumstances, or any of the plans, for they are in My hands.
Fret not yourself because of things that may come to disturb you and cause you to shake, for they are merely a testing time. But you have been chosen to go in My stead. And I will use you in great and mighty ways. Be strengthened at this moment, for My Spirit is here right now to strengthen you, saith the Lord.
The Glory of My Presence shall go before you; it shall be your rearward; it shall be on both sides of you. And you will know when you go to a place and when you leave, that I have been in the midst and that I have spoken, saith the Lord. And even in these next few services under this tabernacle I will use you, saith God. So let not your heart be troubled, but be strengthened at this very moment, for I am here.
Strongholds Crumble
October 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Joyce Greeley
The Lord would say unto thee, know ye not that I am stronger than those strongholds which seem to be invincible? As you carry My Glory into the nations, you will watch strongholds of Islam and Buddhism, Hinduism, that have held nations captive for centuries, you watch them crumble.
Your Pastor Is a Prophet
October 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Crawford
I was supposed to tell this long ago, but I was disobedient. And I was, just like you said, you don’t know whether to say it. But the Lord say, “Say it.” He had told me long ago that Brother Shelley was a prophet. And He had told me. And that reason I know it has been confirmed. Know so. Because everybody that I bring here, when something happen, they always call me to tell my pastor this and my pastor that. And then I say, “Well, what is this?” I said, “Lord, please what is that?”
He said, “Because your pastor is a prophet.” And so then sometime I feel like to tell them, “Well, what about your pastor?” I know that would be kind of rude, but every time, you know. But then, you know, you can’t get them to come like you want them to come. And then they come to me, “Make sure you tell your pastor.” But it’s just begin to confuse me, I said, “Well Lord, You confirmed what I was supposed to tell the congregation, that he is our prophet, and he’s a peculiar man.” And you know it, and I know it. Thank You, Lord.
Tickets at a Much Cheaper Cost
October 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffry Propst
When you were talking about the tickets, I got a real burden. And I heard Joyce back there praying. And she quoted a sum. And when she said that sum, another sum came on the inside of me. And I’ve been reading Elisha. And when the city was besieged round about, they were eating their children. There was nothing there, and everything was sold at an exorbitant price. And Elisha went to them and told them, “Tomorrow…” I can’t get the sum, you know, but you know, “A certain amount of flour’s going to be sold for, you know, just a tiny little bit.”
And even though you were quoted a price for $450, the sum that the Lord spoke to me was seventy-five, Brother Shelley. When Joyce said, “A hundred and fifty,” my spirit immediately said, “Seventy-five.” And I said, “God, if you want me to say that…” And then He made me think of what I was reading about Elisha. You know, it’s all before the Lord. And it makes me tremble. And it’s impossible. Look at it that way.
Hurricane of Fire
October 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
When Sister Jeffry was praying for you, Brother Shelley, I saw in the Spirit over here on this side. I want to say it was like a ball of fire, but it wasn’t really like a ball of fire. And the only way to describe it is, it looked like a hurricane, but it was fire. And it had the tails that swing off of a hurricane on radar screen. It was moving like this, and it was coming this way. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Lord, I need it. I need it.
Ripping Off Veils of Religion
October 1, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I want to confirm that as from the Lord. I saw a vision today for just, oh, no more than a minute. And I saw women with their mouths covered with veils and their heads covered with veils. And I saw just a row of women, maybe ten or fifteen, reach up and grab a hold of their veils and rip their religious covering off and just sling it on the ground with such a victory.
I know that’s confirmation. I didn’t say anything to anybody I was with today. But I know that’s from the Lord, and I praise Him for it. Why do we care? Why do we care and why does it mean anything to us? Because it’s our commission.
A Crack in the Window
October 2, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord tonight, I saw a vision in the Spirit. And I saw a window casement. And I saw the glass and the panels of the window, and I realized that it was a window into our service. Our church in Columbus doesn’t have a window, and this building doesn’t have a window.
But I realized, looking out, looking around me, that the people were worshiping and praising God. And the Glory of the Lord was falling. And I saw that the window was cracked about an inch and a half, maybe two inches. And I drew close to the window casement. And when I did, there was a multitude of people standing on the outside of the window, looking through the crack.
And the voice of the Lord spoke to me and He said, “I’m getting ready to crack the window. I’m getting ready to lift the window just a little bit. I’m getting ready to open the widow just a little bit, so that people can look in and see what I’m doing in this last day.” And I want to praise God for that. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
Well-Pleased with Our Praise
October 3, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this morning, surely you have come before Me with praise and thanksgiving. Surely you have come to glorify and edify My Name, saith the Lord. Yea, in that I am well pleased.
Surely, even this day, all over the world men and women, boys and girls will bow before Me, saith the Lord, and give Me praise. Yea, have I not spoken unto thee before that I inhabit the praises of My people? Yea, have I not said unto thee that even in eternity there will be much praise and much worship in the Kingdom, saith the Lord.
For yea, even the elders do bow before Me, saith God, casting down their crowns. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee that praise is a crown. And yea, when you worship Me, and when you praise Me, saith the Lord, it is as though you were placing a crown upon Me, and edifying Me, and glorifying Me, saith the Lord.
Yea, I would say unto thee, I am getting ready, saith the Lord, to move by My Spirit throughout the world. And yea, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that I am the Lord of lords, and the King of kings.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even as You worship me this morning, there is a spiritual crown coming down, yea, even into the uttermost parts of the world. Yea, I will be crowned, saith the Lord, in every nation of the world. And I will catch My Bride away. Prepare yourselves, saith the Lord, and walk in My Word. For I have redeemed thee with My blood, and I have called thee by My Name, and I have chosen thee to be a witness to all the peoples, and the kindreds and the nations of the world. Be ready to do the work that I have called you to do.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even though you are but a few, My Spirit is with you. And you have had a heart to worship Me, and to praise Me. And because of that, I will anoint everything that you set forth to do in My Name. My power will go before you, saith the Lord, and I will give you favor, even in the nations of the world.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many of you will speak even to dignitaries, saith the Lord. Many of you will even witness to kings, saith God, yea, and dictators on foreign soil. You will witness of Me and My power in the earth. For I am the same yesterday, today and forever, and I change not. And in your praise this day, I am well pleased, saith the Lord.
Crowns Coming Down into Nations
October 3, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Just a few moments before I was speaking a Word of prophecy this morning, the Lord opened my spiritual eyes, and I was able to see for just another moment another hemisphere. And I could see the map just like it appears on my wall in my office.
I could see Europe, and I could see Asia, and I could see Africa. But my eyes began to focus even toward the Middle East. And I saw that same crown that God was speaking to us about in that prophecy. I began to see those crowns like that, coming down on different parts of that map before my eyes.
And I could hear the Spirit of God saying, “Even in the nations that I am not crowned in yet, even in the places where I am not acknowledged as Lord yet, even in the places that have never bowed their knee to Me yet, they will. They will. They will. They will.”
The Ear of God
October 10, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Sister Flo Hendrix
When we were singing that song, it was like I could see the ear of God. Can you imagine what it’s like to be God and have to hear all that He’s being told? And when people bow to their knees to pray to Him, what all God has to hear. But it was like I could see, to start with He could hear a faint worship way back at the back. And He drew close to that worship. And that worship was saying, “Let it be a sweet, sweet sound to Your ears.”
And I just felt God in my heart was drawing close to us because this morning we’re worshipping Him in Spirit and in Truth. And it was like He could hear all the other, but it was muddled, and He could hear our praise. And I thank Him for being mindful and listening to our praise.
Because I don’t know about you, but I worship Him and I love Him with all of my heart. And I hope He will receive my worship this morning. So if you’ll be real quiet with your worship, I’m here to tell you that the Lord wants you to worship Him where He can hear you. I know He can hear a whisper. But I know that it would please Him, it would be a wonderful sound in His ear to hear you worship Him loud. God bless you.

Release What You Have & You Will Be Given to Abundantly
October 17, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
If you will not be afraid to turn loose of that which you have, if you will not fear to release that little thing into Me, the Lord would say unto you, I will give you back abundantly, abundantly. Hallelujah. Don’t fear to turn loose…
Reach Out & Feel My Presence
October 24, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
Surely, My people, you could touch Me. Yes, there are those that push into My Presence, while there are others that stand around and wonder, “How is it that they always get into the Presence of the Lord?”
Yea, My people, I say unto you this day, if you’ll reach out as they have reached out, and not stand and watch as others push into My Presence, and expect it just to touch you. But if you will reach out and touch Me as I pass by. Surely you can feel My Presence. You can receive of My Presence.
Though it is not all in the feeling, My people, still you can feel My Presence if you will not stand and watch, but you will reach out and touch as I begin to fill the House of Deliverance. You don’t have to be the one that stands by the wayside and leaves dry. But if you’ll reach out and touch Me, you can receive the same.
You say, “I’ve tried, and I’ve tried, and I’ve tried, and I still leave dry.” I ask you, “What is your attitude? How do you approach the Living God?” Do you just reach out and grab and say, “I’ve got to have a touch,” or do you come with a meek spirit, a spirit of gentleness, saying, ‘Lord I can’t go any farther?’”
If you’ll reach out with the right spirit, and you lay all of the things that have bound you, at My feet. Surely, I will let the Presence of Almighty touch you, if you’ll reach out with the right Spirit.
Touch Me
October 24, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
You can. You can. You can. You can. You can touch Him. Did you know what? I am saying to you now, You can touch Me. You can touch Me, but you must put your first foot forward. You have to come to Me. I’ll always be here. I’m here now. I’m always here.
But you must touch Me. Touch Me. Touch Me. Touch Me. Anything that is crowding you, anything that is crowding you, will be preventing you. You can. You can look to Me. There is no excuse. I’ve given You the promise. I’m giving you the promise. It is yours, if you can touch Me. You can be touched, and be risen up, in the Name, in the Name…
Draw Nigh unto Me
October 24, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Beverly Skipworth
My children, My precious ones. I say unto you this day. That your trials that you go through are not to weaken you, but they are to strengthen you to climb higher.
Draw nigh unto Me, My children. Draw nigh unto Me and I will surely draw nigh unto you. Whatever you have need of, lay it at My feet. For surely, I am the great I AM. I AM the great God that has never changed. Lay your burdens at My feet, for I am thy strength.
Standing to Plead Our Cause
October 31, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord just a moment ago, I could see what appeared in the Spirit to be a throne. And I couldn’t see from the waist up because of the Glory of the Lord. The brightness of His Glory was shining forth. But I saw from the waist down, the waist and the legs and the feet of the Lord. I know it was Him. And I saw the flowing gathers of His garment as the material just gathered around His hips, as He was sitting upon a throne.
And I know it’s figuratively, but the Scripture came to my mind as I saw Him. The Bible said He placed His blood, basically, on the Mercy Seat of God, and then He sat down. The Bible said, “Don’t you know that every priest stands to minister?” But said, “When He went in, once and for all He sat down.” And I saw the Lord sitting, symbolizing this morning, it’s all finished. Hallelujah.
But as your praise began to swell and as Brother Greeley began to sing, “Arise to Your rest,” I saw those feet like brass as they began to shift to support His weight. And I saw the gatherings of His garment as they unrolled as He stood. And I heard a voice say, “The Lord will stand to plead your cause.” Hallelujah.
And I remember a sermon the Lord gave me fifteen years ago or more. And I used those verses. There’s two times that the Lord stands. The Bible tells us, one is to plead the cause for the righteous.
When Stephen was being stoned, he said, “I saw the Lord standing at the Father’s right hand.” And the Bible said, “The Lord will stand to plead and the Lord will stand to judge.” That’s the two times the Lord stands. And I believe He’s standing this morning to plead your cause, whatever your need is, whatever you need the Lord to do for you this morning.
I believe your sincere praise and worship has motivated and caused, for such a time as this, the Lord to stand to plead for you. Would you just present your love to Him right now as an offering, as a gift? Would you just give Him a gift of your attention right now? Would you just give Him a gift of your love and devotion right now?
And I believe you may not even have to tell the Lord what you need. I believe you may not even have to tell Him what you desire if you’ll just gift Him. Just gift Him right now by telling Him how much you love Him. It’s like laying gifts before Him and casting crowns before Him when you tell Him how much you love Him. Don’t be ashamed. Don’t be ashamed or intimidated right now to tell the Lord that He means more than the world to you.
And don’t let it come from your mouth. Let it come from your heart and then flow through your lips. Don’t let it be a premeditated praise that comes from your intellect, but let it be spontaneous worship that comes from the inner being, as from the creation to the Creator. Hallelujah.
So arise to Your rest…
Don’t you find it just a bit unusual this morning that when we get tired we sit down, but the Bible said when we praise the Lord He arises to that rest? It’s like giving rest to the Lord. And He doesn’t receive His rest sitting down, but He rises to receive it. Let’s rest Him right now. Let’s let our hearts so glorify the Lord that He’s rested. Hallelujah. That’s what the Word said. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
The Lord’s Robe Billowing Over Us
October 31, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
And I want to thank the Lord this morning for what I saw. I didn’t really understand what I had seen. But in the service this morning when we were worshiping the Lord, I kept seeing something white billowing over the top of us. But when I first saw it, I thought that it was a banner, and it was a victory banner.
And I kept wondering why I couldn’t see writing and I couldn’t see the top of it. And then after you said what you said what you had seen, I knew that I had seen His robe. But it was just beautiful, because it was just billowing over the top of us. And I want to thank the Lord for seeing that.
Multipurpose Building Raised Up
October 31, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw a flat, red field (And I didn’t have to guess where that was. I’ve bogged down in it. I know exactly where it’s at.), stretching out with hard clay. It wasn’t mushy this time, it was hard. So hard, that I could see it begin to crack. And how many of you’ve seen how that clay, red clay, when the sun bakes it, it’ll just crack and almost buckle up?
In fact, you can go in and scoop big pieces of it, where it just bakes in the Alabama heat. I saw it begin to crack the surface of that red clay field. I could see some of that clay… Wasn’t all clay, but a lot of clay in there. And I could see the ground begin to crack, making this crackled pattern all over that field. And in the first moment I thought it was just the heat doing it. But I realized that there was something underneath that was pushing up.
How many of you have ever seen those little mole things that’ll run under…? They get right just below the surface of the dirt and run that little tunnel, and it makes the ground bubble up and crack along that path where they’re running. That’s how it began to look. I could tell that something was underneath that dirt as it began to crack.
And finally, I could see it; the surface began to bulge and crack like something was underneath. Slowly and slowly I could see it getting higher and higher. Yet surely it began to crack and give way, almost as to give birth. As the ground opened up, I saw again that multipurpose building that God had showed me, this time rising from beneath the soil.
And a voice said, “Even from the dirt, I will raise it up. Trust Me and step forth and claim My promise. Do not be swayed away from My will. I will raise it up as a testimony and a memorial of My divine ability to bring My Word to pass.”
Offering Given
October 31, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As I was standing here on the platform tonight, two or three times the Lord just let me break into vision. And I saw… I’m not even going to tell you what one thing was, because it had to do with giving an amount of offering that somebody in this building is going to give to the work of the Lord. I saw it just as plain as the check was written. I saw it. And I wrote it down. That’s between me and the Lord.
The Turning of a Corner
October 31, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And all of a sudden, I looked in the mirror. And instead of seeing my reflection, I saw something that looked like an opening, just an opening like a pathway of some kind. And as I looked right into that mirror and began to see, just right like I was… Instead of looking at a mirror, like I might be looking out the window of my home or something. It just kind of opened up into a pathway. And I could see the end of this pathway. I could see that it was ending.
And I said, “Lord, it’s a dead end. What does that mean? It’s a dead end.” And all of a sudden, I felt myself… I didn’t physically move, I don’t think, but I felt myself spiritually turning at an angle. Instead of looking straight, I was now angling myself, adjusting myself, looking back that way at an angle.
And when I did, I said, “No, Lord. It’s not a dead end that I see. What I see is the corner is turning. What looks like a dead end is not a dead end, but is the turning of a corner?”
The Lord said, “I’m going to use you in that message. I’m going to use you in that.” And I’m going to put those thoughts together. And I could just almost see the book coming out, “The Turning of the Corner.”
Prayer for Eastern Block Countries
November 2, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prayer given by Brother Shelley
Would you ask the Lord for some of those Eastern Block countries that this ministry has not been able to get into? Would you ask the Lord for Siberia and for that part of Russia that leans over toward Europe? Would you pray?
And I’ve been in Poland, but I wasn’t able, I didn’t have time when I was in Poland to get over the border there into some of those what have been Soviet Union countries, now Russian states. And we’re believing God. Even down in what has been Lithuania and places like that. God knows the need.
You know, I’ve had a great contact in Romania and some of those places in this part of Europe. But I want you to pray with me right now concerning those countries that are over toward that Russian border off of Poland. Ask the Lord to let this ministry be able to penetrate there in some way. You may be one of the ones that God would send. Let’s believe God right now. Hallelujah. [Ed., Unclear Audio] Ukraine, over in the Ukraine.
Father, God right now… Even as I… Hallelujah.
Prayer for Ukraine & Poland
November 2, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Even as I began to pray, I saw just a host of men and women, men on the left and women on the right. That’s how it was in Poland. But I saw just a host of men on this side and women on this side. And the women had babushkas on their head. And so I know that we’re speaking about that part of the Ukraine. Would you just believe God? They’re just sitting there on a little simple, wooden pew, hungry, crying out for the moving of Pentecost.
Believe with me. When we were in Poland, we had some of the greatest Pentecostal services I’ve ever been in, in Poland. And let’s ask God for the Ukraine right now. Oh God, we believe for opening of the door. (Tongues)
In the Name of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus. Hallelujah. In Lithuania and Bolaris and the Ukraine, Estonia and several… I can’t even tell on this map. You realize when we’re in Norway, we’re just a little ways over.
When I was in Poland, I was just on the border. If I could have just got in. When I flew out of Warsaw, I was just right at the border, but we didn’t have time to try to make contacts there. One more time agree with me. I’m laying my hand on that part of the map.
Father, in the Name of Jesus. I just believe. Hallelujah. Oh, in the Name of Jesus… Where there is no door, Lord, You can open door. (Tongues) Sing again with me before we close in a moment. Would you just love one another for a moment?
Big, Wooden Spoon
November 2, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain
When you, Brother Shelley, were talking about Africa, I saw that same big wooden spoon again. And I know I have mixed cakes together, I’ve mixed two different things together with a spoon. And what comes out of that is, it’s all one thing. You can’t separate it. It’s all mixed together. And I don’t know what God intended for me to see that. I don’t know why, but He knows. And I know that I love the Lord with all my heart. And I’m praying for Africa.
The Storm of His Spirit
November 2, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
This morning the Lord dealt with me about something. I don’t know if… I feel like I should share it, because I feel like it’s a word of encouragement to you, Brother Shelley. And as I was praying this morning for the meetings in Edmonton, and I was specifically praying, because I knew that the meetings had been called the same time as our meetings had. And I was praying for that which the bishops and the overlords were doing, for it to be of no avail.
When I was praying that, I saw men nailing boards over windows and over doors. And as soon as I saw that, I was taken back to something that the Lord had showed me in the special meetings that we had, and I had wrote it down.
But that night in the Spirit I saw a big ball of fire coming toward Brother Shelley. And it looked like a hurricane in the Spirit. And I shared that part, but I didn’t understand what it meant. Well, after I went back to my seat and I was praying, I asked the Lord to show me the understanding of it. And He gave me these words.
I didn’t know what to do with them at the time, but I felt like the Lord brought them back to me this morning for me to give them to Brother Shelley. It said that, “You’ve known storms, but you’ve never seen or experienced what God is sending, the storm of His Spirit. I was seeing people prepare their homes by boarding up their widows. It will be to no avail. They’ll not be able to shut out what’s coming.” So I saw those same men nailing, but they will not be able to hinder what God is sending to that city. And I thank Him for that.
When the Lord showed me that, that two weeks ago, that was when that big hurricane was on the map that was bigger than the whole state of Florida. And I wondered why God was dealing with me about that hurricane. But it keeps coming back to me, it was so large, it wouldn’t have matter what they battered up, that storm was going to break through. So it was just overwhelming when God brought it to me this morning, and how the fact if I wouldn’t have wrote it down, I wouldn’t have remembered the details of what it was. But it doesn’t matter what they do. They’ll never be able to stop it.
Let Your Glory fall…
Young Men of the Church Represented by Electrical Breakers
November 7, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord tonight, I saw in the Spirit what looked like a breaker box. And I saw several kinds of breakers. And I know very, very little about electricity. But I know because of my own home. I have a plug outside for my light post and my pond, fountain. And we’ve tried to protect it, but there’s a leak in that box somewhere. The water gets in, or moisture gets in and flips that breaker every time it rains.
And then I’ve got safety breakers that will often trip like that. And I have to go out very often and flip them, you know, redo them. And I saw a breaker box. And I saw several breakers in that box, but I don’t… I’m just stuttering, because I don’t know how to explain it. But sometimes you just see one thing, but you know something else.
And I could see that several of these breakers were tripped. (Is that right?) There was no power going through those wires out to those areas of the house, or whatever the building you might say. I knew in the Spirit that those breakers represented young men. I knew that. I didn’t see young men’s faces on them, but I knew that there were several breakers in that box that were tripped. And I knew that they represented young men in this ministry.
And the Lord was speaking to me. Some of them were not safety breakers, and I knew that it took more of a problem to trip them. They didn’t just easily trip. They would have to overheat or something like that, or you trying to pull too much electricity off of them. But some of them were designed as safety breakers, so that even just a little fluctuation caused them to trip. And the Lord was speaking to me quickly about people’s spiritual life, young men in this particular vision, and how that it took more for some to trip.
And what happens when the breaker trips is, the current is cut off. There’s no power. But other young men are designed, much sometimes to their harm, in such a way as a safety breaker. That any fluctuation of circumstance causes them to… And you know, a breaker doesn’t reset itself. Somebody has to come and reset it. (I hope you’re not losing me.) Somebody has to come and reset it or re-flip it, or whatever you call it. (If you want to help me you can help me.)
And I knew that this represented… But I also know that if it wasn’t for those safety breakers sometime, you could burn the house down. They’re made that way. And I know it’s also to help you to keep you from getting electrocuted in the bathroom. If you didn’t have that safety breaker you’d get electrocuted. So it’s a hindrance sometime for me, because sometimes my hair dryer sets it off. That’s a hindrance. But it’s better that than to burn my house down.
So the Lord’s dealing with me. And then He spoke this to me. I could see pipe coming out of this breaker box and running off. And God knows I don’t know anything about electricity. I’ve heard people use this term, but the Spirit kept saying, “Conduit, conduit, conduit.” And I kept thinking, “Conductor.” But the word is “conduit” that He kept saying. I asked Brother Greeley, and he said it’s like a pipe almost that wires run through. You understand what I’m saying?
And the Spirit of God was speaking to me that He wanted to touch this breaker box, these young men that are easily tripped. And God said He was going to use them to be conduits for revival. And instead of them being tripped… (Is that the word? What do you call it?) If it’s tripped, there’s no power coming through it. I believe God’s going to heal those young men’s lives spiritually. And I was looking around here, and I counted eight or nine that God could so easily use tonight if they’d just surrender to Him.
Some of us, it takes more to flip us or trip us than others, but some are supersensitive, too sensitive. But I believe God designed you that way for a purpose. And although it’s been a hindrance to you spiritually, when God makes you a conduit, and He allows His power and electricity, so to speak, spiritually, to flow through you… There’s a reason that God designed you that way. Now when you’re operating in the negative it’s a hindrance to you. But when you start operating in the positive…
God knows why He designed you that way. And I knew in the Spirit as I was sitting here or standing here, I knew in the Spirit that Jonathan was one of those pipelines, one of those conduits. And I knew… I don’t know who all of them were, but I knew that one of those breakers represented him, and several others came to my mind. I believe the Lord desires tonight to use these young men. I’ve said it for many years now. I’m physically weary of saying it. But I believe God wants to do it, and I believe we keep putting it off and putting it off and putting it off.
But tonight, I believe God wants to touch that breaker box. I believe God wants to… There’s a problem there. It’s not normal… You know, something’s wrong… The least little thing is not supposed to trip those breakers. Something’s wrong… One time I couldn’t even get mine to go back on, and Brother Whittaker went in the little switch box and played around a little bit, and he finally got my light to work again. But I know something’s wrong. It’s not supposed to do that like that. And I could just feel such a…
I hope I haven’t talked so long to drain the Anointing out of the service, but I just could feel like God wanted to do something. There’s such a special Presence of the Lord here. But I just didn’t know how to express it. But would you just ask the Lord right now, would you try to get under that Anointing for what I’m seeing and just believe God? Please, right now. It’s urgent. It’s desperate.
Because I realize there’s people… We need lights. I realize we need lights and we need heat. I realize there’s things we need, and we can’t get them if the breakers are all tripped. And when I saw that, I realized how important these young men are to the revival that God’s sending. How important they are, and how that our needs are not met, and how peoples’ needs are not being met, because the breakers are tripped. Help me to see if we can just touch God about it right now.
Feeding Upon the Fatness of His Spirit
November 10, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
Would it be alright if I shared a little something? Hallelujah. A little while ago as we were worshiping, I began to see… I don’t know what you’d call it. I guess a pot of milk or a jug of milk. And I saw… It was like someone was churning it, and the fat was being separated from the milk, where you would take the butter from the milk. I don’t know… I guess that’s how… I guess I’m describing it right.
But it was like you’re taking the fat from the milk. And the Lord said, “As you take the fat from the milk, so even this night I’m taking the fat from the milk, and I will feed you on the fatness of My Spirit. For those who are hungry, for those who have come and sought My face, yea you’ve come seeking Me and you’ve come seeking something, saith the Lord, yea you will find it even this night, and through these meetings, saith the Lord. I will feed you upon the fatness of My Spirit.
Yea, from the milk, from the things that seem simple, saith the Lord, even from those things I will feed you, saith the Lord. Do not look upon it and despise it. For yea, man would despise the simple things, but yea, it is the simple things that I use, yea the simple things. And yea, even this night the simple things will I use, and I will feed you from them, so saith the Lord.”
Because of Intercession, Strongholds Are Broken
November 14, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
Strongholds shall be broken, saith the Lord. Even as you have interceded in My Spirit, strongholds shall be broken. I will call My people, and I will not leave one out, but I will call every one that I have ordained to eternal life.
Because of your intercession, because you have surrendered to Me and you have interceded on behalf of people’s souls, yea, strongholds shall be broken. Kingdoms shall be shattered.
All of the windows that have been boarded up shall be blasted away. And My Spirit shall go forth, saith the Lord. And I will rescue and I will deliver. And I will rescue My Bride in this day, saith the Lord. She shall not go forth defeated, but I will rescue and deliver and set free from strongholds that have held her for so long, for I am God, and I change not.
Liberty in the Spirit
November 14, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Betty Omilian
Where is there a burden that I shall not lift, saith the Lord? Look up to Me. Call My Name. I will take your burdens away. I will give you a liberty in My Spirit, saith the Lord. Look unto Me. Look unto Me.
Opening a Door to Nepal
November 14, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw myself standing in front of a hotel in Kapmandu. And I know that only the Lord can open the door for me to stand in front of a hotel in Kapmandu. It’s the capital of Nepal. It’s at the bottom of the Himalaya Mountains.
There is a great ethnic group of people in Nepal that have never heard the Name of the Lord. And many of those who claim the truth in that area have so tainted the Gospel of Christ and perverted the Message of the hour in that nation, that it is an abomination in nostrils of a living God.
The Changing Tide
November 21, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But just before Sister Burgess began to speak, I saw in vision the change of the tide. I saw a slack tide and high tide. I could see that the ocean was lapping its way in, and then I could see quickly that it was lapping its way out. I caught just a glimpse of that same thing this morning, but I had no idea what I was seeing.
And then the Lord spoke to me concerning the sands of transition. Transitional sands. The word “transition” speaks of change. The Spirit of the Lord is speaking into my heart that the tide, the spiritual tide for the world is changing. And the Lord said we have been at low tide, slack tide. But the Lord said, “I’m getting ready to move and cause My Spirit like water to move its way closer to the land.” I see the water lapping its way closer to the land. And the Lord said, “The sands are changing.”
The Lord said, “It’s the opposite of erosion.” In the natural, the tide comes and pulls the sand out. But the Lord said, in the spiritual, this spiritual high tide that’s coming, He’s not pulling away, but He’s adding to. Glory to God. That which the enemy has caused to be eroded away, the changing of the tide in the natural… The Lord said, as the tide begins to change in the spiritual, He’s adding back to the Body of Christ. Oh, and the Lord said, “Faith upon faith.”
The Lord said, “In fact, I’m starting with faith, faith upon faith, building faith upon faith.” For if we can have that super faith, that gifting of faith, anything is possible. Not even cancer can stand in the way when that super faith is working.
It’s so strange because this morning when I began to see that change of the tide, I couldn’t get any understanding on it, but I heard the words to a song. And it was this morning, but I couldn’t say it, because it didn’t make any sense to me at the moment. But I could hear the words to that song, “Time is filled with swift transition.” You know it? “Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand.”
But I didn’t hear that part. All I could hear was that line. As I saw the tide changing, I could hear the words to that song, “Time is filled with swift transition.”
Get Ready & Prepare Your Life
November 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Who is here tonight in this building, (I’m not even going to ask you to come,) but who is here in this building, you say, “I can relate to the Word of the Lord. There’s things that I need in both areas.” God doesn’t often deal with me like that, but I saw the two aspects of it. Never thought of it. It’s never crossed my mind. But I could just see.
How many of you could relate to it in your life? Lift up your hand to Him right now and believe God, oh, to bring it to head. (Tongues) Oh hallelujah. The Lord said, “I want to bring it to the surface, so that I can deal with it.”
The Lord said, “Get ready and prepare your life.” For the Lord desires to bring the things that trouble you to the surface, so that He can deal with it. Get ready for My finger, saith the Lord, to stir in your heart. Get ready, saith the Lord, for My finger to stir in your spirit. Get ready, saith the Lord, for My finger to even stir in your past.
For the Lord would say unto thee, it is My desire to bring these things to the surface, so that I might be able to deal with them. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee. I’m preparing, yea, I’m preparing, saith the Lord, to bring forth a harvest in your life, saith the Lord. I’m getting ready, not with immature fruit, not with that which is not come to the completion, saith the Lord, but that which is ready to be consumed.
Yea, I’m getting ready to bring the fruits of your life to maturity. I’m getting ready to bring the work of your hands to maturity. I’m getting ready to bring the spiritual things that I have done in you, I’m getting ready, saith the Lord, to bring it and call it even to the head. Prepare this night, saith the Lord, for the visitation of the Lord is at hand.
Prepare thyself tonight, for I will come and visit thee with My Spirit, saith the Lord. I will revive that which has fallen. I will build again that which has been wasted. I will raise up that which has fallen over, saith the Lord. For the time of the visitation of My Spirit is nigh at hand. Oh, the Lord would say unto thee, prepare. For the Lord shall come unto thee. (Tongues) Thus saith the Lord. (Tongues)
In the way back recesses of my spirit, it was as though I could hear the little children that day as they began to sing, “Hosanna…” Even as the Lord came to them riding on the little donkey. Hallelujah. I believe if you’ll just do this with me quickly. If you have to slip out, you can. We love you.
Coming to a Head
November 23, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just want to sow one word into your spirit tonight before we close. As I was sitting here during the worship, (and I didn’t mean to be rude, but my legs were just giving away, giving out, so I sat down,) and I saw two strange things. And I wished Sunday night that I would have told Sunday morning what I saw instead of waiting till Sunday night, but God brought the answer to me.
When I was standing this morning, in the mirror, I could hear the Spirit again, “Transitional sand. Sands of Transition. Transitional sands, sands of Transition.” So I’m waiting on the fullness of that understanding.
But tonight, I saw two things quickly in the Spirit. And I don’t believe… I don’t mean to make light, but I want to be honest. I don’t believe it’s because I had coleslaw for supper either.
But I was sitting here and I saw cabbage planted in a row. I could just see it planted in a row. And I thought, “My, what is that? Cabbage.” And I looked closer and I could see those big leaves. (Now I do love cabbage.) But I could see those big beautiful leaves. You know how they get, hanging. Sister West just brought us some cabbage, fresh, right out of the garden.
And I was, it was as though I was looking down over them. And I saw little heads beginning to form in the center of those big old leaves, and I heard a voice say, “It’s coming to a head.”
It changed, and I saw that festering blister I’ve seen before. I’ve seen it before. I saw that festering-looking blister, but it was flat and it had little streaks of red running from it. You’ve seen an angry sore like that. The skin wasn’t broken. It was just underneath the skin. And I saw the poison begin to rise up in that sore and it came to a head. You know that expression. You’ve been in the South. It came to a head and I saw it lanced with the end of a sharp knife. And I saw the corruption run from that sore. And the Spirit said, “It come to a head.”
And I saw there and I thought, “Lord, I don’t have my book to write it in. Help me understand it.” And the Lord said, “It’s two-fold.” And I said, “Help me to understand it, Lord.”
And here’s what He spoke to me. “The cabbage is the positive side of coming to a head, because it’s like fruit. It’s like vegetable. It’s provision for the body.” There are things that are coming to a head in the Spirit. Are you with me? I want to feel you with me for just a moment. There are things that we’re praying for. There are things that we’re believing for, that are coming to a head spiritually.
You can’t, you can’t just go out and make a harvest out of loose leaves. You want that when it comes to a head. How many of you know how the broccoli begins to come to a head? The cauliflower begins to come to a head at this time of year? I don’t want no head of collards. It’s a little different situation there. Some of these vegetables come to the head.
I believe there are some things spiritually that are coming to a head in people’s lives. For the good, for the good, for the good. And then I saw the other side. The other side was there are… It’s still good. The other side is good too. But I could see that that poison, or whatever it is that’s hindering some of us, that’s been laying beneath the surface just looking angry. But you can’t deal with it because it’s just flat. I could see that that’s the sore coming to a head.
And as the Spirit of God would cut that sore, that which has been under the surface, (hear me!) That which has been under the surface is coming out. I believe that’s for the whole body, but two names came to me while I was speaking about those two things, while I was seeing those two things. I believe the Lord wanted me to minister to Sister Flo and tell her concerning this thing with Jason that’s coming to a head.
I believe the Lord is allowing it to come to a head for a reason, so that it can be behind him. I know that it looks black. I know that is looks dark, but I believe the Lord’s allowing it to come to a head, so that it can be dealt with in the Spirit, so that it never has to torment him and his little family again. It may continue to look black for some more, some, a few more weeks now, but I believe it’ll turn around. (Tongues) Glory to God. I believe that was the representation of that sore, some things been laying underneath the surface coming out.
The other name that the Lord ministered to me on the line of the cabbage was Sister Carmen. The Lord just spoke those two names. I knew. I don’t know exactly what that would mean to Sister Carmen, but it’s something that is coming to a head for you, that needs to come to the head for you, for your benefit spiritually. And it’s going to be fruitful. Hallelujah. It’s going to be bountiful.
But I also felt the Spirit just releasing that Word for the Body tonight. I heard those two names, but I felt like it’s deeper than that. I felt like that that whole, the whole Body can claim that promise tonight.
So if there’s been something that’s just been trying to form in you, something spiritual. God’s trying to work a work in your life and you’ve been feeling it kind of forming. Does anybody know what I’m talking about? Do you think I’m crazy? You just kind of feel it forming in you, but not… I believe you can claim that promise that God is just going to let it come to head for maturity in your life.
And then maybe there’s some in the Body that have just been feeling that spirit, that poison, that hindrance that’s just been laying under the surface. And it seems like it can’t be dealt with. But I believe in that sense God’s bringing it to the head, so that it can be dealt with, and you can walk in deliverance.
Would everybody just… If you can claim any of that, just lift your hands into the Presence of the Lord right now and let’s claim that Word. Hallelujah. You that are on the telephone hookup, claim that Word right now. It can be in your life. (Tongues) Daniel, I believe the Lord wants to bring some of those words to pass in your life. Why don’t you claim that promise with the rest of those that are claiming it right now?
Lord, whatever it is in our brother tonight. Oh God, maybe he can relate to both sides. Maybe there’s things that You’re doing in him spiritually that are flooding, that are fluttering around, but never coming to a head. I pray You’ll call them to the head tonight. Maybe if there are claims in his life that have been poison to him, I pray, God, You’ll bring them to the head, so that you can lance them and deal with them. So that the poison and the corruption can run out, (Hallelujah) so that he can be fruitful. Glory to God. (Tongues)
Glory of the Lord for the Trying Season
November 26, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I’ve got a word in my Spirit tonight that there’s someone here tonight facing, getting ready to face something, that you’re going to need the Glory of the Lord in you and on you, to make it through. It’s going to be a testing of faith and a trying season for you. You’re going to need the Glory of the Lord to go through.
But I hear the Lord speaking in my spirit, “If you’ll come and let Me put My Glory on you, if you’ll come and let Me place My Glory deeply in your life, you’ll come through shining; you’ll come through glowing in My Anointing and in My Presence. And I will cause those around you, saith the Lord, who have observed and examined the way that you’ve come through the trial, I will cause them to see that it was not you and not your strength, but it was My strength, saith the Lord. And it’ll be a great witness even to your family.”
The Spirit of the Lord spoke here Tuesday night concerning the cabbage (that’s how He showed it in vision.) coming to a head. There’s some spiritual things that God has started in your life that have not come to the fullness. But I still feel the Spirit stirring in me tonight that many of you are moving close to that moment where your harvest is coming, your spiritual harvest.
And I see in the Spirit tonight to tell some of you that as we approach the new millennium, as we approach a new year, God desires to help you make the corner that you’ve been struggling on for several years now. The Lord desires to release a special strength and a special Glory in your life, to give you that final strength to make the corner, as the corner is certainly turning in this day. And I don’t want to be left on the other side of the corner, but I want to be able to make it and follow that which God is doing. For the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord shall fill the earth, even as the waters cover the sea.
Hidden in the Eye of the Storm
November 26, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord tonight, I saw a small vision. And I saw a terrible whirlwind. The Bible said in the book of Nahum that God is a God of the whirlwind. It reminded me of something that I saw just a few days ago when we were holding meetings in Edmonton, Alberta.
We went to the Imax at the Science Center, and we saw a movie, a film called “Storm Chasers.” Now you know I don’t go to the cinema, but this was the Imax, and they show documentary type films. We saw one on the mysteries of Egypt. But this particular one was quite fascinating, because it showed…
And it was so glorious for me to see it tonight in the Spirit. It showed this plane that belongs to the government that was used in war time. I mean, it’s built solid. And this is a plane that’s used by our government to fly in the hurricane.
And they put the camera in the cockpit. And when this airplane went into that hurricane, the winds were estimated at over a hundred miles per hour. And that airplane went right into that hurricane, and it began to shake until you thought it was going to shake them right out of the sky. They began to release all kinds of instruments to send signals, so that they could predict the path of that hurricane.
Tonight, in the Spirit I saw that hurricane, as those winds or that whirlwind, as the winds were just picking up speed. I could see that they were moving faster and faster and faster. And I heard the voice of the Spirit say, “I’m going to hide you in the eye of the storm.” Hallelujah. How many of you know that’s safety? Hallelujah! There’s safety. Glory to God.
And as I saw myself moving like that airplane through this wind, as soon as we broke through in the Spirit, I saw peace. And I could remember… Even yesterday I was telling them at lunch how I remembered, but God let me see it again tonight, and it didn’t cost me eight dollars. I saw it in the Spirit tonight, and it means more.
As soon as that airplane… It looked like it was going to fall out of the sky. But they began to say to one another, “Just a few more seconds, just a few more seconds. There was just a few more seconds.” And all of a sudden that airplane would break through the one side of that storm. And you know what? Not only was the sky blue; the sun was shining down, and it just looked like paradise. All of a sudden, through the cockpit or through the windshield of that airplane, it just looked like paradise.
But you know what? They had to go out the other side. That airplane had to… You couldn’t live forever… That airplane couldn’t stay forever in the eye of that storm. It soon had to go through. But how many of you know when we know there’s peace on the inside and peace on the outside, we can make it all the way? God said, “I’m going to hide you in the eye of the storm. No matter what’s happening around you (hallelujah), there’s peace and safety.”
Words Sweet Like Honey
November 27, 1999 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While Brother David was singing that song and the Presence of the Lord was so real, I saw the Sword of the Lord poised and so mighty, so swift, cutting through the air. And then I saw what I believe to be the mouth of the Lord. I only saw from around the, just a little top of the bottom of the nose right there, down through the chin. And this might not help you, but it sure was sweet in my spirit.
I saw His hand come and touch His chin like this. And I realized that there was something dripping from His, from the corners of His mouth. I began to weep. I knew in my spirit, although I didn’t hear a voice, I knew in my spirit it was sweet like honey. And I knew the Lord was ministering to me that His Word is swift and powerful and sharper than a sword. But to those who love Him so, His Words are like honey dripping forth from His mouth. How many of you have experienced the sweet words of the Lord, as they’ve been sown into your spirit?
Let’s praise Him that His Word is both mighty and powerful, and yet it’s so sweet. Would everyone just take a moment to worship Him? I worship You, Jesus. (Tongues) Thank You for Your sweet honey.
I want the Body to come around in just a moment. I’m prepared to speak. And I’m having a terrible time in my flesh obeying the Lord. But I know God spoke to me so beautiful, so sweet. And I feel like the Lord wants us as a church to come tonight and lay our hands-on Brother and Sister Skipworth and minister to them.
Inspiration to Write
November 28, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy directed to Brother Shelley
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
My son, as you pick up your pen and begin to write, I will give you inspiration. This moment it may be just a sentence. But when you come back and look at that sentence, I will give you more inspiration and you will add to it, and add to it, and add to it until you have something to give to the nations, saith the Lord.
Climb Higher on Mount Zion
November 29, 1999 (Monday Evening)
Prayer given by Brother Kevin MacGregor
We’ve come this night, Lord, to praise and to worship You, Lord. For You alone are worthy to receive all the glory and the honor and the praise. We thank You, for Your righteousness and Your mercy to us. We thank You, Lord, that You’ve made the way for us when there was no way. You paid the price. We want to give You glory and honor and praise this night, Jesus. For You are worthy. We thank You, Jesus. We glorify Your Name.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that Satan’s days are numbered. Not much longer will he be able to affect the Body of Your Bride, Jesus. Not much longer will he be able to affect our spirits. Oh, we thank You, Jesus, for You have made the way. And he is nothing but a tool to perfect the saints in this hour.
Oh Father, we thank You, for the ministry of reconciliation. Oh, You will have a people on the face of the earth, Lord, who as in the days of Adam, Lord, who walked in the cool of the evening with You in the righteous spirit of Your grace.
You’ll have a people in these last days, who will also manifest Your character and Your Spirit upon the earth. We are a witness, Lord, that You are still the same yesterday, today and forever, Jesus. We claim that promise to Your Bride this night. We thank You, Jesus, that You are making the way for us to climb up higher on Mount Zion.
Oh Father, even now I hear Your Spirit, Lord, saying, “Climb higher. Higher and higher up My spiritual Mount Zion, Stretch you forth in this hour. Stretch you forth in the Spirit.” We thank You, Jesus. We praise You and we glorify You, Lord. For You are worthy, Jesus. You are worthy.
“Stretch yourself,” He says to us. “Oh, for know you not that when you have climbed as far as you can go, that I will bear you to the top on the wings of a White Eagle. I see your desire. I see it’s your desire that you would stand before Me. That you would stand before Me and that you could be changed. Know ye not that it is also My desire that You will stand before Me in My Throne, that we could meet face to face, that I could change you.”
Oh, thank You, Jesus. Oh, we thank You, Lord. Oh, we praise You, Jesus. We glorify You, Lord. Oh Father, we thank You, Jesus. Oh. “Oh, that I could change you. Oh, that I could seal you with the Holy Ghost.”
We thank You, Jesus. We praise You, Lord. We glorify You, Jesus. For You are worthy, Lord. We give You praise and thanksgiving. Have Your way this evening. Use our brother, Lord, through whatever way You would have him to speak to us, Jesus. Use him this hour, Lord. That You could use him to have Your way. We thank You, Jesus and we glorify You. We praise You.
Anointed to Write
November 30, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Brother Mike Lanier
Yea My son, as I anointed Moses and John and Paul and Luke and Matthew, I shall also anoint you to also write encouraging words to people, to My people. And you will send them, and they will rejoice.
Holy Things Becoming Common
December 5, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this morning. Yea, My things have become common among you, saith the Lord. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, My things are holy things. My doings are holy doings. And yea, My Word among you is sacred, saith the Lord. And yea, that vessel which I have cleansed is sacred. And yea, I have cleansed you this morning.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have placed My Spirit within you. And the Lord would say unto thee, “Be careful, children. Be careful in this hour that you not let My things become common.” For yea, it is a grand and glorious thing that I declare unto you today. The moving of My Spirit, the fulfillment of My promises to you.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, living inside of you, yea, dwelling with you, moving through you, saith the Lord, that is My desire. The Lord would say unto thee, when you allow worship to become common, the singing of a praise song to become common, when you allow prayer or even the receiving of offerings for Me to become common, the Lord would say unto thee. Yea, it is a dis-service. Yea, it is a disrespect to the things of God.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even a testimony, let it be glorious. Let it be a praise. Let it be a good word of that which I am doing. Let it not speak of your own doings, but let it speak of My doings. For the Lord would say unto thee. Unless you do it that way, it shall become common unto you. And yea, when you come, saith the Lord, to eat My body, and drink My blood, let it not be common. Never ever let it become something that passes from your mind quickly. But meditate upon it, and carry it in your heart.
For yea, the Lord would say to thee, I am close to you in that moment. In that moment that you discern My body and My blood, I am close to you, saith the Lord. And My Spirit is upon you. The Lord would say unto thee, let it not be common when you come to wash one another’s feet.
For the Lord would say unto thee, it is service one to another. And in serving one another, and by serving one another, you have served Me. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have come this morning to prick your heart. Allow me to. Allow me to remove that which has become hard, and let Me speak to you the way that I desire to speak to you. The Lord would say unto thee again, “No chastisement seemeth good for the moment.” But yea, it is given to work a far exceeding great work in you. Allow it to this morning. For I have not come to throw you aside. I have come to take you up in My arms and mold you and make you to My image.
The Lord would say unto thee, do not let your heart be hard, neither your necks stiff. For I desire a movable people, a people that I can move through with My Glory. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many of you have been closing the channel. You’ve been shutting the windows that I have desired to open among you.
But come right now into My Presence, saith the Lord. Forgetting those things which are behind, and determining in your heart to make the holy things of God holy, and the sacred things of the Lord sacred, and the precious things of My Kingdom make them precious unto you again. And I will bless you, and I will lift you up and establish your going. And in peace shall you be lifted, saith the Lord. Peace. Lift us. Let’s spread a worship to Him…
Search Your Hearts
December 5, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
Search your hearts this morning. Search your hearts this day. It’s My blood that covers those things that you’ve done. Oh, in the Name, in the Name, in the Name. Seek that Name. In the Name, in the Name. Oh, My people, My people. Has not the watchman said, it is your attitude? Your attitude.
Search your heart. Search your hearts this day. It is important to search your hearts this day. Oh, My heart grieves. My heart grieves. There are those that trust Me, there are those that believe in Me, but are too weak to climb. Climb, My people, climb in the Name of Jesus. Oh, in the Name of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Cleanse Your Mind
December 5, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Ruth Ann Heisey
Receive, My children. I walked the bloody path for you. I have shed My Blood. I have done everything to show you how much I love you. And I say unto thee, you continue to think evil. You continue to think bad about one another.
But I say unto thee, if you will cleanse your minds and think good thoughts, think holy thoughts, pure thoughts… Don’t I show you the great love that I have towards you? If you could absorb it into your spirit, My great love I have toward you. I say unto thee, nothing shall stand in your way. Nothing shall hinder your relationships and your love for one another.
And I say unto thee, you must fight the fight. You must yield yourself to what I have said in My Word, and the great Anointing that I have placed in the midst of this church. (And, Lord. Oh.) All I say unto thee is that you pray and cleanse your minds, cleanse your hearts, seek My ways. And I will bless thee, My children. I desire to bless thee. I desire to bless thee abundantly. As I have told you in My Word, if you will feed upon it, it will feed you and you will think right, and you will do right. (Oh.)
Yea I say, I have placed statutes and commandments in My Word. I have placed them there for your guidance. I say unto thee, if you will hearken unto these statutes and commandments that I have placed, and not ignore them, but live in them, then I say unto thee, it will cleanse you and sanctify you.
Called to Bear His Name
December 12, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given to Brother Greeley
I hear the Spirit of the Lord speaking. “What manner of people ought ye to be. I have called you to bear My Name. There is no name above Mine. I have called you to bear My Name, and what manner of people ought ye to be. Carried away so easily to you own thing. Draw up close to Me, saith the Lord, and be a vessel worthy to carry My Name.
Out of His Side
December 12, 1999 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
I want to thank the Lord for such precious, precious truth that He’s revealing. And as these last few sermons have come forth, it’s like we’ve always seen it because it’s a light that’s revealed, that we see. But it’s like He’s shining a spotlight on it, and those things that looked one way are actually another way.
But I thank the Lord so much for that truth this morning. And I want to thank the Lord because when we were standing in the front of the church this morning after the sermon, it’s like I could see the Lord when He was on the cross, and as we poured out of His side. And as we spilled out into the earth, it’s like I saw myself. When you spilled out, the world dirtied you and tainted you, but His hand so lovingly picked me up.
And I heard those words that said, “No man shall pluck them from my hand.” And just as we came from Him we will return. And my Beloved is mine and I am His, and we will be in Him and He will be in us. Such precious, precious truth, and I want to thank Him for it.
Reach Out to Me
December 21, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
For I am walking in the midst of thee this night, saith the Lord. You have seen what I was, and you have heard what I am going to do. But I am walking in the midst of thee this night as I am.
Have you a need? Reach out to Me, because I am the Healer. Have you need of deliverance? Reach out to Me. I am the Deliverer. Have you a struggle tonight? Reach out to Me. I can meet that need tonight.
For I am the I Am. Not “I was,” but the I Am for today to meet your need, as I walk through your presence this night. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Blessed for Giving Him the Cake First
December 21, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, because you have brought Me the cake first, yea, I the Lord thy God will honor thee, said the Lord. Yea, I have seen thee and I have seen that you were willing to bring Me the cake first.
So shall you prosper, saith the Lord, and so shall I multiply blessings upon your life, for you have been faithful to give the cake first unto Me. And because of that, you and your house shall eat the manifold blessings of the Lord forever.
Victory Will Come
December 21, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, I have seen thee on the mountain. I have seen thee as thou hast struggled. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, you’ve asked for yards. Yea, you’ve asked for miles, and yet you have struggled in the inches. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, this night victory will come.
Yea, deliverance will come for you on Mount Zion. Rejoice in hope, yea, for I have called thee My prisoners of hope. Rejoice in Me this night, saith the Lord, for deliverance will come to thee in Zion, so saith the Lord. On Zion, on Zion, on Zion, beautiful Zion, deliverance will come. On Zion, on Zion, on Zion, deliverance will come. On Zion, on Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion.
Mending the Breach
December 21, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, I have seen thee in thy breach. I have seen thee in thy broken place, saith the Lord. I have seen thee in the place where thou hast not been able to meet together the pieces of your life.
But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have smiled upon thee this night in your breach. And I have smiled upon thee, saith the Lord, even in the very spot that you’ve not been able to sew together the pieces of your life. I have smiled upon thee this night in the breach, in the gap.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, My Spirit is upon thee even now to mend the breach of your life. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, the pieces of that have been shred, yea I desire to bring them back together, saith the Lord, to make them a glorious garment of righteousness.
Yea, I the Lord thy God, yea, I am skilled, and yea, I am able, saith the Lord, to take rags and make beautiful garments, saith the Lord. And this evening I have come into this place to remind you by My Spirit that I desire to mend the breach. Yea, I desire to make up the gap. Yea, I desire to be the hedge, saith the Lord, to gather you together. I have smiled upon thee in your breach.
Rejoice in Me this night, for I am the Mender. Yea, I am the Mender, saith the Lord, and I am in the midst of thee to mend. Hallelujah, hallelujah… (Tongues)
Bring your broken vessels, saith the Lord. Bring them to Me this night and I will mend them. Yea, bring your broken and tattered garments to Me this night, and I will mend them, saith the Lord. Bring all the pieces, saith God, even the things that have crumbled at your feet, and you have said there’s no way that they could ever be restored. I am the Restorer.
And yea, I will meet you in the broken things. Yea, I will meet you this night, saith the Lord. Come and bring the broken things to Me. For I am a God who uses the broken. Yea, yea, yea, yea. Have I not already spoken to you in My Word that I desire broken things, broken spirits, broken hearts, yea, broken wills? It is in that channel that I desire to work.
From Visitation to Habitation
December 21, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Oh, for the Lord would say unto thee this night, you have seen My Glory in the days of visitation. Yea, you have seen My Power upon men and women in the days of visitation. Yea, you have seen great signs and wonders and miracles. Yea, you’ve been privileged to sit together many, many times in heavenly places.
For yea, in the days of visitation I have visited the earth, saith the Lord. Yea, even into the many nations, and yea even into the places where the church is hidden, where she hides, saith the Lord, from government, from principalities, but I have visited her. Yea, even in the dungeon, saith the Lord, and in the cleft of the mountains I have visited My little secret Church. Even those that have had to hide away, saith the Lord, I’ve been faithful.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, great things have happened. Yea, I say unto thee, for a moment look backward and remember the glorious miracles, the healings, the deliverances and the manifestations of My power that I have shown forth in this nation, saith the Lord, to this generation.
But yea, I the living God doth make a covenant. Yea, I make a vow unto thee this night, and I covenant with thee, saith the Lord. Yea, for the Lord would declare unto thee the greatest days, yea, even the greater things, saith the Lord, greater than you’ve ever seen, even greater than you’ve ever dreamed are about to be unfolded, saith the Lord, even in the nations of the world. For yea, I’m calling My people from a place of visitation to a place of habitation.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee tonight, I will not only visit My people as she is scattered across this world, but yea, I will come, saith the Lord, and take My habitation in her. And yea, I will look through her eyes. I will touch through her hands. I will speak through her lips. I will walk through her feet. Yea, I will breathe through her lungs, saith the Lord. For I will take My habitation and My dwelling place in the Bride that I have called forth, in the Bride that I have redeemed, in the Bride that I have sanctified and filled with the earnest of My Spirit.
For the Lord would say unto thee, in the coming days ahead I will come and take control, saith the Lord, and I will have preeminence in her. And yea, she will glorify me, saith the Lord. And the Father shall be glorified in the works that she shall do. For the Lord would say unto thee, the hour is swiftly upon you. Prepare yourselves, for the Lord would say unto thee, the corner is turning, and the old is passing from you. And I’ve declared tonight to you the new that is about to be revealed. I declare the new. The old has been moments of visitation, but the new shall be habitation.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, rejoice, rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it unto you. And that which I have spoken, I will swiftly come to fulfill. Cast your eyes toward Me tonight, and look not to right or the left, and look not to man. For man, though he would desire to, could never bring it or manufacture it or cause it to happen.
But yea, the Lord would say, in the places that I have written My Name, I will come and live. I will come and live in My people. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, be prepared, for the day is swiftly approaching, saith the Lord.
A Peace Cloud
December 21, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Bobby Meeks
I just felt like I needed to share this with everybody real quick.
As we were worshiping, I saw it was like a map in the water. And I saw, it was like drops coming down and making ripples on this map. It was like ripples all over this map. And it was like a map of the United States, but there was just ripples as like raindrops were coming down.
And then it was like a cloud of peace. And there was peace there. And I saw this cloud just come. And it was just peace, and all the ripples ceased. And I was like just telling myself in my spirit like, “Lord, is this a peace cloud?”
And just as I saw this cloud of peace, Brother Shelley started singing, “He is my peace.” And it was like confirmation from the Lord, like that was a cloud of peace. It was just ceasing the ripples. And it was just wonderful. And I just want to thank the Lord for showing me that.
The Incense of Praise
December 21, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As we were worshiping the Lord, I saw as it were a clay pot. It looked like a vessel. It was more narrow at the mouth than at the base. But it was… The sides were protruding out, shaped like what we would call an urn. And I saw large hands, and I knew that they were the hands of the Lord. And I saw smoke coming out of this urn like burning incense. And I knew that in that urn was the praise of God’s people in this place tonight.
Now in my carnal mind, I looked around and I saw some missing, in my carnal mind. And I know it’s always hard without a bass guitar. The praise didn’t look very glorious to me in my carnal mind. But in the eye of my spirit, I could see that incense rising out of that urn, and I knew that it was the praise of God’s people in this place tonight.
Then I saw those large hands, and I knew they were the hands of the Lord. That’s all I could see was hands and forearms. I could see the Lord reach out like this as that incense and vapor of smoke was coming out. I could see these hands drawing it in. And I’ve seen that in the natural, when someone is sometimes stopped up, and they get in a humidifier. Do you know what I’m talking about? And gather the humidity, the vapor up under their nostrils.
I saw the hands of the Lord tonight (Hallelujah) gathering under His nostrils, so to speak, pulling that vapor of smoke and praise and adoration unto Himself, pulling it toward Himself. And I know that He’s mindful tonight. Amen. Maybe everyone hasn’t broken into praise, but the Lord is mindful that His children are gathered here tonight to praise Him.
I’ve Anointed You This Day
December 26, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Lord said, “I’ve anointed you this day as a Body.” The Lord said, “I’ve place My kiss upon you this day, the kiss of My Presence.” And as a Body I’m calling you. Not as an individual, but I’m calling you even in this moment as a Body to move together, and to flow together in the realm of My Spirit. And I call you collectively, “Come higher.”
I call you to stand in My Presence before My Throne, and fulfill My ministry upon this earth, “For Such a Time as This.” That My Glory and My strength undergird you, let My courage overtake you. Let My grace seal you for that which is ahead. For I’ve anointed you, My precious Body. So saith the Spirit of the Lord.
The Unknown Will Reap the Final Harvest
December 26, 1999 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I believe that God is not going to use mega-churches and mega-ministries to reap the final harvest. I believe it’s going to be people who today are virtually unknown. I believe it’s going to be people who are virtually unheard of in the world, that God is going to raise up for eternal purposes. Hear him? You hear His Voice. I just heard Him. Hallelujah…
Reap the Benefits of the Level You’re On
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Lord said, don’t move ahead until you pick up the token of what He’s revealing in this moment. Every step there was a coin. And you can’t skip a step and skip a coin and get to the top and have a full number. I think in the Bible it was ten. I’m not sure. You can’t get to the top and have nine coins or eight.
But I feel the Spirit just impressing me to impress it upon you. Whatever level… I have no idea, have no way of knowing. Whatever level of Glory you’re in right now, don’t try to get any higher until you reap the benefits of where you are right now. Get everything you can out of what God’s done in your life thus far. Get everything right now. Get it. Grab a hold of it and take it and claim it and possess it before you try to move higher.
Because when you get higher, there’s something else for you to gain. Oh, hallelujah. I’m not talking about gleaning the field, either. I’m not talking about what’s left over. I’m talking about the best of the best. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh, praise the Lord.
Healing to the Spiritual Joints
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And I believe that the word of the Lord is saying tonight in the spiritual realm, of the joints, it’s the connecting tissue of the bones. I believe the Body of Christ tonight is made up of different bones. Don’t you?
And I believe the Lord is telling me in the Spirit that there’s been some problems… I believe… I believe the Lord’s just letting me know right now that there’s been some problems in the connectors, in the connecting tissue between some of you bones.
Some of you boneheads, I mean bones… You know what I mean? There’s been some problems in your connections. And God wants to minister healing to the joints, whatever that is that you feel rubbing you the wrong way about one another, whatever that is that you struggle about with one another, whatever that is… I see such a spirit of distrust. And you know, we’ve been through enough, we ought to be trusting one another by now. Whatever that is, let’s receive.
Your Life Will Be Planted
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I hear the word of the Lord coming for someone and the Lord said, “You have felt like a wanderer and a drifter. You’ve felt like someone with no home, no permanent dwelling.”
But the Lord said for me to tell you He’s getting ready to plant you. The Lord’s getting ready to bring stability to your life and plant you in a real firm foundation, that you’d not have to drift and drift and drift and wander and wander and search around. God said He desires to plant you.
Healing to the Spiritual Elbow
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord just spoke into my spirit and He said, “There is a problem in the elbow, spiritually. Not physically, but spiritually.” There’s someone that’s been called to function in that elbow. And the reason for that elbow… I know it serves many purposes, but what God’s speaking into my heart right now, one of the things is, it helps the hand to feed the Body. And somebody’s been called to some position of helping the man of God… I know you’re men of God and women of God, but He led me to be a Pastor to you.
Some of you have been called to function more in that elbow, to help the hand feed the body. And you’ve not been doing that, because there’s a problem in the joint. Instead of being a help to the hand, helping the hand get to the body, you’ve been a catch; you’ve been something that kind of prevents the hand from getting where it needs to be.
I don’t believe you could feed an adult that way properly. There needs to be a bending. Oh, help me now. Glory to God. We may not have any music to make this dramatic, but God’s speaking anyway.
Lord, I ask you to heal the elbows in this House right now. Oh God, heal the elbows right now, those that You’ve called to help get the Body fed. Oh Jesus, we’ve got to see the Body fed. It’s got to be fed. It’s got to be fed.
Your Glory
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
Visions of Your Glory…
I hear the sounds of Glory…
I can feel the beat of Glory…
I smell the sweetness of Your Glory…
I can hear the sounds of Glory…
I see Fire in Your Glory…
It is refiner’s Fire…
It is a purging Fire…
So let it fall on you…
So let it burn on you…
It is Refiner’s Fire…
Angels Making Changes
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Adelaide Vidal
And I have a small vision. And I saw small angels. They were so beautiful. They were doing changes in Heaven. And I saw the Lord doing changes here. And He told me it’s more changes–little changes, big changes, all kinds of changes. It was so beautiful…
Blue Flame
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Betty Pilkenton
Tonight I seen a… You seen like a blue flame and then the fire around it? That’s what I seen. And there was two of them. And it was just pouring out the rain, just literally it was coming down like a downpour. And I praise the Lord for it…
Plunge in the Middle of the River
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Even as I’m standing here, the Lord is unfolding another vision. I see tributaries. I see little streams of water running, just like looking at a map of all the branches, the creeks and the little tributaries of water that run into the River. And I see just various flows of water joining into the swiftness of the River.
And the Lord is saying to my spirit tonight that many of us have enjoyed a wonderful flow and a wonderful anointing of His Spirit. And we thought that we were in the swiftness of the River. But the Lord said, “What you’ve really been in was just a tributary that was feeding the River.” But the Lord said, “I desire to move you.”
Each one of those tributaries represents different attributes and levels of Glory that God desires to manifest in our lives, the very character of God, and all of the many glorious things that He’s revealed about Himself. But the Lord said, “Where you really need to be is in the middle of the River.” When all the tributaries have already fed their water into the River, when all of the attributes have come together in Christ, the River of life… That’s where you need to be.
And the Lord said, “I’m calling you even in this meeting, in these next few days I’m calling you out of your individual tributaries. They’re wonderful and they’re revelations that I have given you, saith the Lord.
But yea, when all of these great revelations run together in Me, and when all of these great blessing and benefits run together in Me, and when all of My attributes, even as tributaries, when they have all run together in Me, that’s where you need to be. And I desire for you to stand in the middle of the River of My Glory and My Anointing.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in the River there’s not only laughter, there’s not only joy, there’s not only Holy Ghost blessing, signs and wonders, but yea, in the River, saith the Lord, there is revelation of Truth. And yea, in the River I will cause you to bring forth with ease that which I have placed within you.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even man has learned in the natural that underneath the water there is a place of easier birth. And the Lord would say unto thee this night, I desire to plunge thee in the middle of My River, to make easier the laborious pains of birth that are about to befall you.
The Lord would say unto thee, I’m calling My Bride into labor, saith the Lord, to bring forth that which I have impregnated within her. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, you can bring forth outside of the River in great agony and pain, but the Lord is calling thee this night into the depths of My Anointing, where I will make your birthing process lighter and the pains of birth easier. Join Me, saith the Lord. Join Me in the River of Life, for I beckon unto thee this night, so saith the Lord.”
Called to Higher Glory
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were praising the Lord, I saw a vision. And I saw a beautiful bride dressed in a beautiful garment, a wedding garment. And I saw her climbing what looked like either stairs or the levels of a ladder. And on each one of these levels, she stooped down and took a large silver coin and placed it in a tuck or a pocket of her dress. And then she would step to the next level and take that beautiful silver coin, place it in the tuck of her dress.
When she reached that top level, I saw her take every one of the coins that she had there in her hand, and she began to tuck them into a little piece of what looked like a handkerchief or a strip of cloth. And I believe what the Lord was showing me was that Jewish tradition of how that the bride would wear those little tokens of money as a headdress for that wedding.
I believe the Lord is saying, “I desire this night to call you to higher Glory, to higher realms,” saith the Lord. And yea, as you climb with Me each level, in every level there is a nugget of Truth; there is a coin; there is a token of revelation and Glory. Yea, when you’ve climbed to the highest place, the Lord would say unto thee, you’ll find in your hand everything that you need for the wedding.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, prepare yourself for the wedding. Yea, for the wedding of the Lamb is come, and everything that you have need of, you’ll find it in the higher levels of My revelation and Glory. Receive tonight. Receive and rejoice, for all that you have need of is available for you.
And when you have reaped all that you can out of this present level, step higher, saith the Lord, and reap from that as well. Do not leave anything behind, but bring all that I’ve given you with you forward, as you move closer and closer and closer to that day. For surely the Lord is making real in this hour the invisible union of the Bride and the Bridegroom, so saith the Lord.”
Cartilage Being Created
December 28, 1999 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see the Lord right now in the Spirit creating cartilage. I see cells coming together to form what granny used to say it was gristle on the bone. How many of you know it’s cartilage? And I see the Spirit of the Lord forming it right now.
Hallelujah, hallelujah. I claim it for myself. Is there anybody else that would claim it for yourself? I see the Lord doing creative miracle. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Somebody’s being loosed in the knee. Glory, glory… Hallelujah. We receive from You right now. (Tongues) Glory, glory… Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Your Pain Was Not in Vain
December 29, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
My mind is just racing tonight over different ones that are here. My mind is just racing about the disappointments that you’ve known in your life. Those of you that I know well, and how that I’m sure since you’ve been serving the Lord, things haven’t worked out many times like you thought they were going to.
But God had a mind in all of it and a purpose and a plan, and that plan has been unfolding and unfolding and unfolding and unfolding. And the Lord just inspired me to speak a word into your spirit right now.
The Lord would say unto thee, you have wondered in the darkest of the night, “For what purpose is this pain? For what purpose is this trouble? For what purpose is this depression and oppression in my life?” But the Lord would say unto thee, be true, saith the Lord. Be firm and stand for Me, for I have stood for you.
For yea the Lord would say unto thee, even in the near future, I will begin to bring forth understanding into your life, and you will begin to reason in My Spirit why. Not in your own mind will you reason, but by the revelation of My Spirit you’ll begin to know the reason why.
The Lord would say unto thee, many will not wait until they see Me in the Kingdom. Many will not have to wait until they walk in eternity with Me to know the reasons why. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I desire to begin to reveal to you in your life… If you’ll let Me, saith the Lord, stroll with you down the memories of your life, I will point out the times that I brought things into your life to try you and to test you, so that I might purify you and cleanse you in the end.
Allow Me, saith the Lord, to walk with you through the memories of your life, and I will show you the times that My mercy kept you when you didn’t feel like you were being kept. I’ll show you the times that I was reaching out for you when you couldn’t feel My arms, but I was standing there to keep you from slipping too far.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, this has not happened unto you in vain. It has come into your life for a reason, and you’ll know the reason why. And yea the Lord would say unto thee, you’ll understand that it was for glorious reasons and glorious purposes, for I was perfecting a house in you that I might come and dwell in, saith the Lord. I was cleansing and even in times building a house that I could come in and inhabit.
The Lord would say unto thee, rejoice this night in faith, for it has not happened in vain. It has come your way to build you into that dwelling place of the Lord. And I will soon come, saith the Lord, unto you, and I will take up My abode. And I will reside in that which I have prepared, and you’ll know the reasons why. So saith the Lord.
Pray & Prophecy Deliverance to My Bride
December 29, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
God spoke to me as I prayed and He said, “Even if your airplane stops in a country and they don’t even allow you to get off the airplane, I want you to pray and prophecy deliverance to my Bride in that nation.”
Fire of God Spewing Forth
December 29, 1999 (Wednesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were praising the Lord, I saw the Fire of God in the Glory again tonight. But this time I saw it in a completely different manner. Last night it was very similar to what Sister Betty described in the Spirit, with the blue flame and the red and the orange spreading out from it.
But tonight I saw it as a volcano. I saw it spewing high into the air, just high, just a tremendous force of life, as the Fire of God. And the Spirit said, “The Fire of God is being belched forth.” And that’s what it appeared to be.
And then I saw as the Fire appeared as molten lava. And it began to come sweeping down the side of the mountain. And I say a mountain, because it appeared as a volcano when the Fire of God was coming from the heart of it. But as it began to fall down, the mouth was closed, and it appeared as a mountain.
This fiery lava was taking everything in its course, everything that was standing in the way, every tree, every snag, every rock, everything. And I saw many little dark shadowed creatures fleeing from this fiery lava. And I believe they represent bad spirits. I believe it represents those things that have tried to hinder our journey on Mount Zion.
And I believe the Word of the Lord is saying to us tonight as we will enter into praise and more worship before Him, I believe the Fire of God is belching forth even in this hour, to chase every dark, shadowy creature out of our lives, every spirit of hindrance, every demonic power that would try to hinder us as we climb Mount Zion. I see it even again now, being chased by the Fire of God.
Loosed from the Grave Clothes
December 31, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
Can I share something? This seems so silly, because I’ve only ever seen it in a cartoon. And I don’t know exactly how a mummy was wrapped, but every picture I’ve seen has been with strips of cloth. And I’ve seen in cartoons where they took one strip and jerked it, and the body was spinning.
And as I was praying, The Lord began to sow into my spirit, if you find yourself spinning, you’re being loosed from your grave clothes.
Deborahs Arise
December 31, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Lord put a word in my heart as we were worshiping the Lord, as I was ministering to our sister, and He confirmed it by these four sisters that were interceding over Sister Carmen. And we know in the Bible that Deborah types a spiritual woman. She was a judge. And she served Israel well, didn’t she? You know the story. There’s also a marvelous love story there.
But I heard the Spirit of God speak to me tonight, it’s time for Deborahs to arise. It’s time for them to arise and take their place as intercessors before the Throne of God. Because a true judge is an intercessor. You believe that? You understand that?
Deborahs, arise. Arise in intercession right now. Let God birth a new intercession in you. Let God birth a new spirit of intercession in you.
Raising Up a New Breed
December 31, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Adelaide Vidal & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
(Tongues) Have Your way, Lord. Hallelujah. Let’s obey the Spirit tonight. If God gives you that, speak it forth. Hallelujah. Let’s obey the Lord. Hallelujah. Glory. Thank You, Jesus. Hallelujah.
Prove Me, saith the Lord, and see if I will not do that which I have covenanted with thee. Have I not even spoken to thee before, saith the Lord? Have I not declared My Word unto thee personally?
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, many have taken My Word that I have given by holy men of old, inspired, they’ve taken it here and there; they’ve added their word, and they’ve added their opinion, saith the Lord.
But yea, I the living God will raise up a new breed, saith the Lord. I will raise up men and women who will hold to my Truth, and I will use them, saith the Lord, in great and mighty ways.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I will cause anointed women to stand with their anointed husbands, and I will use them together, saith the Lord. I will send them forth to do the work of the Lord. Receive My promise in your life, and I will use you, saith God.
Yea, the Lord would speak unto thee that I have given you this opportunity tonight to be in My Presence. Do not let it pass you by, for this is only a foretaste of what is ahead, saith the Lord. Yea, this is just a taste, just a small portion of that which I have purposed for you, My Bride, for this coming year.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, looking at it as it is tonight is no reflection of what it’s going to be. For I’m going to reap a great harvest through this little group, saith the Lord, even just a handful of people. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will give you souls this year and the next in the nations of the world.
Prepare, for the beginning of the harvest is nigh at hand. Rejoice tonight and prepare thyself to do the bidding of the Lord. And yea, when I’m not sending you forth, I will cause you to intercede for those who are going forth.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will strengthen some of you to work for the finances that are needed to send the ministry forth. For the Lord would say, miracles shall happen and lives shall be touched, for My Word will accomplish great things in you, and will accomplish great things in those that I send you to in this coming year, saith the Lord.
Hurricane Sweeping Through the Church
December 31, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I’d like to share something. And it’s really not that big, but… Last night as we were singing, I believe it was right before Brother Shelley took the service, we were singing I think it was, “I Feel the Glory.”
And I began to see, from different sides of the church, I began to see it was like tornados or whirlwinds or something like that, just beginning to move in the Spirit. And tonight as I looked in the Spirit across the congregation, right in the middle it was a big, it was like a hurricane right in the middle of the church. And I believe that’s the Spirit of the Lord beginning to move, if we could begin to flow in that channel.
People Becoming Whirlwinds of the Spirit
December 31, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I began to see people spinning around. I began to see people spinning around. If I thought I could have done it, I’d have done it. But I began to see people spinning around like this, and they were becoming the whirlwind. The whirlwind was becoming them. It was the wind of the Spirit. As they began to spin like that, I could see that the Power of God was going with them wherever they go.
And I could see that the Power of God was going to Wal-mart. And I could see that the Power of God was going to the grocery store. And I could see that the Power of God was going to the nations of the world. Wherever the anointed people of the Lord go, I can see a time that God’s Power’s going with them.
But I could just see in the Spirit people becoming those whirlwinds. I hope that I’m a whirlwind when I go to Africa in a few weeks. I hope God will make me a whirlwind.
Revivals Without Truth Dwindling
December 31, 1999 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And I want to say something else. The Lord said that any revival that doesn’t emphasize Truth is getting ready to dwindle toward the end of Nineteen ninety-nine. If they don’t emphasize Truth, they’re going to begin to dwindle toward the end of Ninety-nine.
And I asked the Lord why. He spoke to my spirit. He said, “I don’t want my people confused. I want them to see the difference in renewal and revival. I want them to see the difference.”
And I want to tell you something else He spoke to my spirit. And He said, “As it begins to dwindle…” And He said it already had. And it’s hard for me to believe, because I get different reports than that. But God doesn’t tell a story does He?
He said, “As it begins to dwindle in other places, they will continuously have to manufacture things to keep it going.” And He said, “It will end up being a circus of carnality.”
Serious business, isn’t it? How else is it going to end up, if we don’t emphasize the whole truth? How else is it going to end up? You hear what I’m saying? They’re going to have…
And we might put that on the internet. We’re not ashamed of what God is saying. And God help us. We don’t ever want to manufacture something so that we can always have the appearance of revival. We want Truth. Because the Truth is what’s going to set people free.
He said, “If they don’t emphasize Truth.” And that means they’ve got time to emphasize Truth. They’ve got time to emphasize Truth.
God sent me almost a year ago, to speak a word to someone and said, “If you don’t hold the standard… You’d better hold the standard. If you don’t hold the standard, you’ll lose what you had. Hold the standard.” Nineteen ninety-nine, let’s hold the standard.
