Shaking in the Graveyard
January 2, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see bone coming to bone, joint coming. Hallelujah… I see a mighty shaking coming in the graveyard. Hallelujah. I see a mighty shaking coming in the graveyard. I see a mighty shaking coming in the graveyard. (Tongues) Loose your faith right now. Loose it right now. Hallelujah. Glory. Send the fresh wind of the Holy Ghost over this House. Fresh Upper Room experience for those who need it this morning.
People of Africa Going Free in the Spirit
January 2, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Carmen Lanier
The Lord started to deal with me last night about this, and He woke me up in the middle of the night. And tonight, as we were worshiping the Lord, I saw… I guess they call it a legend, a map when land is purchased. I saw it changing hands. And the Lord was speaking into my spirit. “You have done well to outline the country of Africa on this floor.”
For the land of Africa is His, and He is passing the position of it into our hands. And as our feet pass on this map, as our tears flow, as our prayers go up, land has been taken by the enemy for far too long, will be possessed again for the Kingdom of God. For there is a cry going forth in the jungle, and it is no longer the war cry of paganism. But His people will no longer wear headdresses of paganism, but they will wear the headdresses of Glory.
In the next few years you will see the Word of the Lord coming to pass, as you take this Message forth. And as you go, you will see signs and wonders and miracles as never before, because the people of Africa will go free.
His Bride will experience the greatest Revelation as never before. His Spirit will go with you, and He will provide for your every need. And those that close the door in your face, there will be those that open the door. But He will go before you even now, and He will cause those to hear. And the Word will spread in ways that you have never imagined.
Coming Forth from the Grave
January 2, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee, My children, this night, surely I have given thee My Life, saith the Lord. Surely I have caused Light to shine unto thee even in a dark place. And surely I have caused the Voice of the Resurrection to sound forth in your ear, saith the Lord. And I have desired to call thee forth even as Lazarus was called from the grave.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I’m working on those grave clothes. Yea, I’m working on the things that bind you, saith the Lord. Yea, I’m working on the spirit that has tried to keep you back, and keep you from flowing in the River. Yea, I’m working on those things that have caused you to stand on the bank and watch others enjoy My benefits and blessings.
If you’ll come tonight sacrificing a praise, yea, I will absolutely, saith the Lord, take every one of your grave clothes from you tonight. Yea, I will spin you forth into freedom, saith the Lord. I’ll remove the restraints. I’ll remove the bondages, and ye shall go forth in the power of My Word.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many of you don’t realize it tonight, but while your feet were moving and your hands were waving, I was ordaining in you the ministry that I have called you to, the ministry of priests, saith the Lord. Yea, I have called you to be priests, to be ministers of reconciliation. To reach out to those that are lost, saith the Lord, to those who have no hope and no confidence.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, you didn’t even know when you were shaking yourselves loose, you didn’t even know when you were praising Me, that I was ordaining you and anointing you to go forth in a fresh ministry. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, “Go forth,” saith the Lord. “Go forth in My Name,” for I have called you even to a new phase of ministry.
Yea, I will use you from this moment forth in greater measure as ministers of reconciliation. Go bring them in, saith the Lord. I’ll meet them here. Go bring them in, saith the Lord. I promise you, I’ll meet them here if you’ll go get them. I’ll meet them here and I’ll give them light and deliverance. So saith the Lord.
Zadok Is Coming Forth
January 2, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother from Tennessee
This is what the Lord gives me to share with you. Eli has received the Word from Samuel. Samuel received it from the Lord. He gave it to Eli and said, “Eli, the priesthood is changing. Shiloh is coming. Zadok is coming forth. The ministry of Zadok that ministered unto the Lord.
And the Lord spoke to me when I was sitting here a while ago and said, “Eli is going backwards. He’s about to break his neck, because Zadok is coming forth.” Rejoice, saints. Rejoice. I say, “Zadok is coming forth.” Hallelujah. We’re going to worship God. And there is a change in the priesthood. God is moving to those are willing. Hallelujah. God’s good.
Brother Shelley: Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Is that confirmation to you? Have you heard those words spoken here already? Thank God for confirmation for that.
Dance Out of Your Grave Clothes
January 2, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I believe I’m getting in my spirit tonight; the Lord is saying to me that some of us who have struggled with some of those grave clothes that the Holy Ghost has been talking about.
(I know God revealed something in the “spin” the other night.) But I believe that God’s just moving in a special way right now. And I believe those that’ll just break free… Nobody can make you do it, and nobody can do it for you. But I believe if some of you would just offer right now, (we’ll sing a little more.) If you’ll just offer a real sacrifice of praise.
You know, I found myself feeling sorry for you because I love you. And I know that we’ve gone night after night. And Friday night was a watchnight. We didn’t leave till after 12:30. Of course, we left with a shout. Didn’t we? Glory to God. And today’s been a long day. And I’ve been feeling a little sad and worried for you, because I know you’re tired.
But there is something about that Presence of God that just rejuvenates you. Oh hallelujah, and strengthens you. And you may not realize you need it tonight, but tomorrow you’re going to need the strength that you draw from the Lord tonight.
I just feel like, if some… I don’t know who somebody is, but I just feel like if somebody would cut loose and offer God a real sacrifice of praise, I believe some of you’d dance right out of your grave clothes. (Tongues) Hallelujah. (Excuse me. Oh.) I believe somebody would dance right out of their grave clothes. I believe you’re just about doing it anyway. But I believe there may be somebody else here that needs to get rid of some grave clothes. And I can’t think of a better time tonight.
The Anointing Will Flow from This Place
January 2, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Brother from Tennessee
The Word of the Lord also, brother, is stability. Because there is stability in this place, because of the anointing that goes back to the generations. That generational anointing is on this place.
God has taken the good things that’s here and taken them to other places. What God’s going to do here is going to be a marvelous thing. You’re going to see great things happen in other places as God has said.
But even in this place, God is going to move in great and miraculous ways. And the anointing is going to flow even in a greater way. From you it will flow to others here. The others round about you and even on to the congregation. That precious anointing, even that flowed up on Aaron, it will flow.
And it will flow down over a maturity, saith the Lord. And great and mighty things shall come forth in this place. For I have established this place. I have made you stable, saith the Lord. I gave My hand of rest upon this place, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
Channel of God’s Glory

The Well Is Deep
January 4, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Beverly Skipworth
Oh, My children, the well is deep. Draw from My well tonight. Draw, My children, draw. My well is deep. Draw. There is peace, there is rest, there is healing, there is deliverance.
Oh, My children, draw from My well tonight. My well is deep. Fill yourselves up. Come and drink. Bubble over, My children. Drink from My well tonight. Drink! Drink! Drink, My children, so you will spill over to others. Drink from My well.
A Table Spread Before You
January 4, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Behold, the Lord would say unto thee this night. I set before thee an open table. Yea, I set before thee a spread table, saith the Lord. And yea, I have placed upon that table everything that you would have need of for strength in the journey that I have called you to.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am calling you even this night to My table to partake of that which I have provided for you. Yea, the Lord would say, it is free unto you. But there has been a great price paid, so that you might have access to the Bread from heaven, and to the Water of Life.
And yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, “Come, My children, and feast upon the table of the Lord. For I have good things. Yea, good things to declare unto thee,” saith the Lord. “Good things that your hearts have never heard. Yea, good things to taste, that you have never tasted of before.”
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, understanding that has never been yours, and revelation that you have not known. I have spread a table before thee. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee. If you’ll be faithful to come and feast upon that which I’ve already given, I shall forever provide. Daily I shall come, saith the Lord, and renew the supply, and replenish the supply. Daily I shall give extra unto thee, saith the Lord.
For the Lord would say unto thee, this year shall be a year of eating the Bread, and drinking the Water of Life, saith the Lord. This shall be a year of eating and drinking Christ. For yea, the Living Word has come among you, saith God. And I desire to reveal Myself in you and through you this year, saith the Lord. The table is spread. You have come and eaten in the past.
But the Lord would say unto thee, a greater feast is about to be before you. Yea, greater than you have ever known. And the Lord would say unto thee, with greater eating and drinking there comes a greater responsibility to distribute to those who have not had access to Me, saith the Lord. With greater revelation comes a greater necessity, the necessity of going forth and imparting, and sharing that which I give thee.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in this day unto the people who will be faithful to distribute Bread to the hungry, I shall give them an over-abundance, saith the Lord, and a glorious supply. Praise Me in this moment. Praise Me, saith the Lord, and come before My Presence with praise. For I have made a way for thee tonight to feast at the banquet table of the Lord, thy God. Saith the Lord.
The Word Is Nigh
January 4, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And I hear the voice of the Spirit saying, “The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth. The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth. The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth. Speak! Speak! Speak! The Word is in thee, in thy mouth. Speak!” Hallelujah.
Thank You, Jesus. Could we worship Him for a moment? Stretch your hand toward Him.
White Eagle Carrying Capstone
January 4, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
God gave me a vision tonight while we were worshiping the Lord at the end of the service. And it was powerful. I don’t want, I really don’t want to speak the whole thing tonight. I don’t want to. I want to read it again for myself. It’s hard to write it down, maybe. So much going around.
But I’ll just tell you this. I saw that great white bird, so beautiful. I’ve seen him before. I saw that great white bird come sweeping over the sky, holding in his powerful talons a pyramid shaped rock. I knew what it was.
You know, they… Brother Enzo mentioned this to me one time. I read it in the newspaper. They, as part of their millennial celebration in Egypt, they were going to put a gold, a golden covered capstone on the pyramid. They were going to drop it down at the midnight hour.
And I thought that was must be significant in some way. I didn’t know exactly how it would be, but then a few weeks later I read in the newspaper. I clipped out the little article. Never said why. Anybody ever hear why they didn’t do it? I never heard why they didn’t do it. They didn’t offer any explanation. But they said their plans had changed. They had already spent quite a bit of money to do it, but their plans had changed and they didn’t drop that capstone down on the pyramid.
You know, there’s a message there. There’s a message there. God’s revealed a great portion of it to us. But I saw that Capstone. You know what He cries when He comes. Don’t you? He cries, “Grace. Grace. Grace.”
I saw in the powerful talons of that great white bird, I saw that pyramid shaped rock, as He came flying across the hillside with it. And I saw a body of water. And it was so larger that it appeared almost to be an ocean. But I knew that it was a river, because I could see distantly, faintly I could see the banks of both sides. And I knew it was a River.
And when that great white bird. It just happened so fast, but in such detail. If I read it, you’d hear the detail. As it neared the middle of that River, it dropped that beautiful pyramid shaped Rock. It dropped it right down in the middle of the River. And it looked like it sank straight to the bottom. And it splashed one good splash.
And all of a sudden, there was a period of peace and quiet. Nothing else. And all of a sudden the peace, the peace was disturbed by some bubbles. You know how something, when it hits the bottom, it… Does it release air or something? I don’t know what makes those bubbles. Somehow the air comes bubbling up when something hits the bottom.
Do you understand what I’m saying? And I began to see just first of all little tiny bubbles come into the surface of the water. And then all of a sudden those little bubbles became rings. And those rings that were moving out from the place where the Capstone had been dropped, the little rings became waves. And as the waves began to change, they became what appeared to me…
And I wrote it this way. It appeared to be almost within the intensity of a title surge. How many of you know what that is? And I saw this getting bigger and bigger on the River. And all of a sudden, as these waves or tidal surge looking waves began to beat both banks of the River. (Here I go telling the whole thing.)
Beating both sides of the banks. And I could see that the bank, (I was close enough then) see that the bank was eroding. And I could see that where people were standing. There were people standing on either side of the River. And I could see where some people had been standing. I could hear their conversation, as they were depending on this to be stable ground. But it wasn’t stable. It looked stable.
But when these tidal surges came from this Capstone being dropped in the River, it loosened you know. Erosion underneath. And they began to fall in the River. That’s a good place for them to be, however.
They began to fall into this Living Water, that God… (I know the River types the Living Water of God’s Spirit.) We know the Capstone is the coming of that which is perfect. He’s coming. He’s coming. We know that.
And then, these waves just continued. And I don’t know what gave me this impression. It wasn’t a voice. You all will never write this down. We’ve got scribes here just writing as fast as they can. Don’t you know it’s going to be typed and printed and? Go ahead. Keep writing.
But anyway. I don’t know how I knew this. It didn’t come in a Word from the Lord, a voice speaking or anything like that. But I knew that a space of a few years had passed. And I’m going to say about three years, or maybe three and a half years. That’s how I feel.
But I didn’t hear a voice. I just knew that these waves were bashing, these surges. They were still going out in a ring though. They were still going out in a ring from that place where the Capstone had dropped in. And I knew that some years had passed, as I was standing there.
You have to stand in those realms to understand how you know those things. Sometimes it just drops in your heart. And all of a sudden it began to die down. I could tell that it was losing momentum, and the waves were not as violent as they had been in the past. They were just sort of dying down.
And all of a sudden I saw that pyramid shaped rock. It came. It must have been several feet in height from where I was standing. It appeared to be that way. And I saw it just lifting very slowly out of the water, like that, and just rising. And just as it crested, I could see the River roll off the top of it as the point of the Pyramid came piercing out of the water.
And just as it did, I saw those same strong talons that had dropped it, reach right down and pick it up right out of that Water, that River of Life. Are you with me still? Detailed. God just revealed it that quick. It’s there for you to read.
And as he, as that bird… I’m going to say an eagle, because God had dealt with me before about the White Eagle. As he lifted that pyramid shaped rock out of the River, the fog began to lift. I had seen a great mist on both sides of the River, up high, and I didn’t realize that we were in a valley, and that there were mountains on either side.
And I saw the vapor and the mist, and the fog began to burn off. The sun began to shine. And the fog and the vapor on the right hand side began to burn off, and I saw the mountain through there. There were mountains before it. There were mountains behind it. There were mountains on either side. But I was able to see right through the middle.
And I saw that mountain that I’ve seen before in vision, and I knew that it was Mount Zion. And I saw that the top of that mountain was opening. I could see it opening up just a little bit, like it was just stretching its mouth, so to speak. Just opening up.
I knew in the Spirit immediately that the Eagle was headed toward that mountain. And as He started in that direction, I began to see the top of that mountain as it began to light up with the Glory of God, like lightning’s. And they were all colors, like blue and purple, and violet colors, and golden colors, and oranges, just beautiful rainbow-type colors comings out of the top of that mountain.
And as the Eagle started that way, I heard thundering’s. And I knew that those were not just thunders, I knew that they were voices in the thunders. I couldn’t tell what they were saying. I wanted so desperately. I thoughts, “Maybe if I’ll just stop a moment, I’ll be able to make it out.”
It would be like listening to a radio in another room. And you could tell that something was being said, but you can’t hear what was being said. I could hear these different voices making up the thunder, but I couldn’t tell what was being said. (Are you still with me?)
And then that Eagle, that beautiful white bird, as He approached all of this noise and shaking and quaking that was going on, He dropped that little pyramid shaped rock, the Capstone. He dropped it right on top of that mountain.
And I heard a Voice ring out. And if you’ll just forgive me tonight. Maybe on Sunday I’ll tell you. I don’t want to go any further than that. But as He dropped that Capstone down on top of that mountain, I heard one Voice ring out. And it was clear enough that I could make it out. And I recognized the Voice. I believe with all my heart that that’s very, very significant to us in this hour. I believe that with all my heart. I’m not going to lay any interpretation to it tonight.
Pulling Us Up Mount Zion
January 9, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Several times this morning in the service and then again tonight I felt those winds blowing around me. And I was thinking on it, and the Lord began to remind me, and I heard it on tape when Brother Shelley preached just a few weeks ago, I think. He was speaking about the eagle when it’s flying and its baby eaglets begin to drop, about the… What do you call it?
The primary feathers, the centrifugal force that’s created on the ends of the wings, and it begins to pull up. That’s right. It’s “Nasha” in Hebrew. And that’s what the Lord began to remind me. And He said as we’re walking up Zion He’s pulling us up. That’s how He’s pulling us up, in the winds, in the winds of His wings.
Look Upon My Face
January 9, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
As we were singing that, I heard the Lord say, “Don’t look My feet, look at My face.” It’s not in My feet that you behold My Glory, saith the Lord, but it’s in My face. Look up, saith the Lord, and you shall see My Glory. Yea, Moses desired to see My face, but yea, I’ve called thee to look upon Me in this day. I’ve called you to look upon My face.
Yea, look into My likeness, saith the Lord, and begin to see My Glory. And yea, as you see My Glory, ye shall begin to see yourself, saith the Lord. For My Glory shall begin to reflect even in you. So saith the Lord. Hallelujah
We Are Not Going Under
January 11, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Huckaby
New Year’s Eve night, I was here. I left here probably about 12:20 AM. And my brother died New Year’s Eve night, or either New Year’s morning some time.
But that night I had a vision. And there was a service, Brother Shelley. It was our group of people. You were the minister. But I couldn’t… It was a service going on. The setting was sort of like where the campgrounds are, where the Tabernacle is. But I didn’t see that, for the service was going on there. It had ended.
And then my house appeared. It was kind of up on a hill from there. So I went up there. You were in my den, and were sitting in the middle, meditating and praying and studying. And then I was going to use the restroom and a brother came out. But I didn’t know this brother. He was an older brother, probably in his fifties or sixties.
And had kind of, his hair started turning grey on the side. And the top was kind of dark, and greying on the side. And I said, “Brothers.” And I was referring to you, Bro. Shelley and this other brother. I don’t know who he was, but he was a brother in Christ. He was a believer.
And I said, “Brother, my home is welcome to you all. You just make yourself at home. And you all just eat anything you want to eat in the house. Food, just make yourself welcome.
And then I went back down and there was a, it was like a big building like a big huge barn. And it was like slats on the side, but there was no paint. And I was trying to help my mother on here. It was going somewhere. It was going to go down a big body of water and I was trying to help my mother on there.
And when we went in, it was like bleachers on this side and the other side, and there was a walkway down the center. It was dirt. And it was just crowded with people. It was just hundreds of people in there, Brother Shelley. But I didn’t know any of them. It was just people, and there were a lot of old people in there.
And this was going to float down a body of water. And I looked over and this brother was sitting in a chair. The same brother that I had seen in my home. I didn’t know who he was. He was there and he was sitting over there to the side in a chair by himself.
And Brother Shelley, we were going somewhere. I don’t know where we were going, but we were going. And it was loaded up and it was ready to go.
And then a big body of water appeared to me in that vision, and I saw a house floating down. And I was thinking, “How is this going to go down the water, where all these people were. And how is it going to go down?
Something in the vision said, “It’s going to be right. It’s going down.” And then that big body of water appeared to me. And it was real wide like a wide river. And it was level at the top and there was a house floating down there, and it was not going under. It was just level, floating right on down.
And after all of that, Brother Shelley, your wife appeared to me. Sister Stacey. And she was up like on a platform. It was like about four-foot high. And she was standing there by herself, and her hair was real long. It was real full, long. And there was something attached to her, the top of her hair. It was a… She had something on the top of her hair like a cloth. It was real nice looking, velvet looking. Real pretty.
And there was a rope or something attached, and went up into the heavens. And up there, there was something real beautiful, like triangle-shaped, and it was beautiful too, like velvet-looking, a real colorful. Maybe red or something like that. (I’m not sure about the color.)
And all of a sudden that snapped, that rope snapped, and this came down. And when it came down it was like a blanket. And there were some sisters here at the church. I don’t know who they were. It was three or four of them.
And when it came down, it just leveled out like a blanket, and it went down over the top of their heads. And when it did, they began to praise the Lord with a shout, and praising the Lord.
And over to the left that was my niece. And she goes to the Baptist church up in Atlanter. And her hair was long too, down her back. And she was setting over there, and she was taking all this in. And she was observing all of this. And when they came down Sunday morning. When I first saw her I told her, I had a dream, a vision, and she was in it last night. And she asked, “What was it?”
And I shared some of it with her. So, you know… But that let me know that the Lord is going to take care of His people, that we’re not going under. We’re not going under the water, we’re going to float down level, and we’re going somewhere. And the Lord’s going to take care of us.
And also, I believe it was for her too that the Lord is dealing with her. And the Lord is showing us something for her, because three or four months ago I had a dream about her. I saw an Assembly of God church, her and her brother. And her brother’s out of church. And she had her hair, it was like in a French twist. And so when she came down, I got a chance to share that with her too.
But you know that helped me. Just the Lord revealing something like that to me, that helped me too. That the Lord let me know that He’s with us and that He’s not left us. Praise God. He has not forsaken us, and He’s using all of us. And I thank the Lord for that. Pray for me.
Brother Shelley:
That’s all right. I’ll speak to you a little bit about it a little bit later too. I saw some three or four things in there that are very, very important.
Revival Fire Touching Namibia, Zambia, & South Africa
January 11, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
So many things are happening so fast. We need to hold all of these needs up to God in prayer. I believe Revival’s breaking out in the nations of the world.
Hallelujah. Yes. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I see the Fire of God moving out of Zambia. I see the Fire of God through that stretch of land and touching the nation of Namibia. I thank God for the Revival Fire that’s going to spread. And I see that it’s a Pentecostal Revival. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Souls won to the Kingdom of God.
And Lord, we thank You for Revival that’s going to Namibia. We thank You for Revival in Zambia and in South Africa tonight. We thank You, Lord, that You’ve got everything under control.
Decreeing in Faith
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord is impressing on my heart right now that in the next few days some of you are going to begin to try your wings in faith, and you’re going to begin to decree.
And we’re not. When our hearts are like God, when we’re moving into His image, we’re not decreeing selfish things. But some of you are going to try, even in the next few days, to let your faith arise to that point that you start making that decree in faith, in making that public confession and covenant with God, and you’re going to start seeing results.
I believe right now God’s going to anoint some of your faith and cause the Word to… Just wake up in the morning and start confessing a different report. Whose report will you believe anyway?
Mindful of His Bride
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Beverly Skipworth
Kept coming to me, as God was mindful when Moses, with the children of Israel, so is He mindful of His Bride. And in simplicity like God used Moses’ rod, that’s how it’ll be.

Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word, Tongues & Interpretation given through Sister Annie Jones
All week I feel that pulling in me about Africa. All week the Lord is trying to tell me something. I didn’t bring it out Tuesday night, but tonight I feel that I have to say this.
The Lord is telling me over and over, there will be such a tremendous delivery in Africa. There be many, many people coming in to believe this Message and see the Glory of God coming down. It will happen.
Because this is the year that the Lord will have His Bride to be delivered in Africa. Brother Shelley, the Lord has given you this ministry to deliver the Bride. And it will happen. You will see it in Africa happening. The Glory of God will come down in such a tremendous way that you come back with the report how many people have come to see this Message? I can feel it; I can see it. He will give you strength, Brother Shelley. He will lead and guide you there. He has chosen you as Joshua has been sent out. You will go as Joshua.
Message in Tongues & Interpretation:
My son, My son, I have chosen you to deliver the Bride all over the world. I will send you to more places to deliver My Bride, because My time is soon coming. And I will have a Bride who’s hungry for this Word and will hear it. And you will know it where I send you. And this will happen. The beginning of this is in Africa.
And from there you will see where I’m going to send you. You go to places where you didn’t even think about to go. But I will send you. And I be with you. And I will strengthen you. Don’t fear whatever comes against you. I be with you all the way. Because My Bride have to be delivered. This is the time of deliverance. This is the time. This is the time.
Dead being Raised as a Landmark
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
“One of the great landmarks of this coming move of God is going to be the dead being raised. And it’s not going to be just a few here and a few there as it has been in other places, but all over the world there’s going to come reports of hands being laid on dead corpses, of apostles and prophets laying hands on dead corpses and God bringing life to them.” He said, “It’s going to be a landmark of this coming move of God.”
The King’s Going to Roar
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Elfrieda Wittmeier
During the week while we were in prayer… The Holy Spirit is just bringing this back to me to tell it again. But we were interceding for Africa. And the Lord took me to prophecy that was given. And I didn’t remember what was said, but I went right to work and to look it up.
But it was a prophecy that was given in October of ‘Ninety-Five. And the Lord said, “The young lion has roared and the people won’t listen, but now the King’s going to roar.” And I believe that this is the time the King… And they will hear Him, for He’s going to set the captives free. And I want to praise Him.
God’s Holiness
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Joyce Greeley
As we sang that, I was overwhelmed with a sense of God’s holiness. Not just the kind of holiness that makes me wear my dresses long and not cut my hair, but the kind of holiness that caused Nadab and Abihu to fall when they didn’t recognize it and went before it carelessly, the kind that caused Uzzah to drop to the ground when he reached out and touched His Glory without care, the kind of holiness that caused Ananias and Sapphira to fall away in His Presence when they didn’t recognize Him when He was there. And Jonathan if you want to sing, “Holiness in Zion.”
Pushing His Spirit Forth
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffry Propst
This morning as Brother Shelley was singing the song, He was saying, “As My Spirit goes forth…” And what I could feel in my spirit was like a bulldozer; He was going to push His Spirit forth before Him as He walks.
And then I seen that machine that packs down the asphalt. And as I was standing back there, the Lord also said, “They’ll fall on the right hand, and they’ll fall on the left hand,” and as His Spirit goes forth, the enemy will be under His feet, as the Spirit goes forth.
Fire in Africa
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
It just keeps going over and over, the vision that you had years and years ago of the fire in Africa. And that’s that Fire that we want. It’s the Fire that they want. It’ll burn out all the hindrances. It’ll burn out all that that holds them back. It’ll tear down the walls that have been built up, and it’s going to set them free. And I just thank the Lord. It just goes over and over and over that this is it.
His Bride Is Zion
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
This might not mean anything to anybody else, but while the Presence of the Lord was so real, I began to think in my mind of some Scriptures where Zion is used to describe the people of God, and not just the mountain or the city of God. But there’s Scriptures through the Bible that refer to Zion as a people, the people of Zion. And we’re that people. And as we were singing tonight, “The River flows in Zion, miracles are in Zion,” instead of seeing miracles somewhere in a city, a far off mountain somewhere, I saw miracles in Zion. I saw healing in Zion. I saw the River flowing in Zion. Hallelujah.
And we know one day there’s going to be a new Jerusalem, a new city, God’s city. But until that time, I just kept getting the impression, this is the city of God; this is Zion; this is the dwelling place of God. His Bride, that’s where Zion is. Hallelujah.
Sing just… I know he’s sung it a lot, but sing just a little more of that. And instead of putting it off in Jerusalem, or putting it off in a spiritual city, or on a mountain somewhere, put it here. Sing it and put it right here.
Chains & Bands Being Broken in Africa
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision & Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Chains are broke in Zion…
I feel an anointing for seeing in the Spirit tonight. And I keep seeing chains and bands being broken and loosing. As I sang that, I could just see it. They were being broken all across the congregation. Even in Africa they’re going to be loosed.
For yea, knowest thou not that the winds that they felt in the natural, saith the Lord, do not compare for what they are about to feel in the Spirit? For yea, I am about to send My wind in the Spirit. Yea, the winds of the hurricanes are going to blow. Yea, you thought you felt them here, but yea, you are about to feel them even stronger over there.
And yea, I’ll set My people free. Yea, I promised it even from a long time ago, I promised to set them free. And yea, their chains are going to be broken. Oh, their cages are going to be loosed, saith the Lord, for this is the trip, saith the Lord, this is the Anointing, and this is the time. For such a time as this I’ve called you to go. You’re going to go and they’re going to be broken, saith God, and you’re going to know that I’ve done it. Yea, so saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
Arm of the Lord Making a Pathway

Vision given to Sister Betty Pilkenton
In my spirit, I seen the arm of the Lord making a pathway for us.
Multiple the Living Bread
January 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
I know many times when people think of Africa, you see a picture in your mind of a starved child, of starvation. It’s like I keep feeling and seeing this in the Spirit. It’s not a natural starvation, but it’s a starvation for the Word of God. And I know that you spoke the other night about the Living Bread.
And the Lord was revealing to me and showing me that just as Jesus fed the multitudes with just a small amount of bread and fishes, that He is going to multiply, and He’s going to feed the famine, and He’s going to feed the famished when you’re there.
Be Not Afraid

Prophecy given by Sister Beverly Skipworth
[Unclear audio] …shall be your strength. Be not afraid. It is I the Lord thy God that sends you forth. Be not afraid.
Open Doors to the Nations
January 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Open door to the Nations
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As I was standing here this morning, I heard the sweet voice of the Lord speak to me so plain. And He didn’t say very much, but He just said… Well, it is much in scope and concept, but only a few words. But He said, “This day…” He said, “Behold, this day I set before you an open door do the nations.”
Because I’ve Chosen You
January 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, behold I’ve chosen you. Yea, I’ve not chosen you because of what you see in yourself, saith the Lord, because I’ve chosen you because of what I see in you, saith God. Many of you do not see anything good, saith the Lord. You don’t see, yea, what I see. Because when I see you, I see through the Blood; I see through the Anointing, saith the Lord.
And I see the change that is even soon coming. Yea, it’s going to come and you’re going to go from this place. You’re going to know that I’m God and I’m sending you, saith God. Many people are going to go. They’re going to touch the nations. Yea, your voice is going to speak to those who are in need, saith God, those who are hungry for My Glory, who are hungry for revival. You’re going to know, saith God, that I’ve sent you, because My Word is going to be in you. And yea, it shall flow out of your heart; it shall flow out of your lips.
Yea, the healings of God, the miracles of God are going to flow out of you. You’re going to touch people and they’re going to be healed. You’re going to touch people and they’re going to be… Miracles are going to happen, saith the Lord. You’re going to see arms restored. You’re going to see limbs restored. Yea, I’m going to do it, saith God.
For this is My time; this is My hour, saith the Lord. This is the hour that I’ve chosen for you to walk, yea, walk in the realms of the Spirit. Don’t walk in the realms of the carnal, saith the Lord, for yea, the realms of the carnal will pull you down. Yea, the news, saith the Lord, the things you see, you’ll hear the news and it’ll pull you down, saith God. Walk in the realms of the Spirit.
And yea, when you hear the things of the natural, saith the Lord, it will cause you to be burdened, saith the Lord. Yea, it will cause you to be burdened, and you will change circumstances even by your words. For yea, I’ve put the spoken Word in you. You’re going to speak the Word, and you’re going to change circumstances even in this nation, yea, and in the nations of the world you’re going to change circumstances.
Yea, you’re going to change leaders’ minds, saith the Lord. You’re going to see that they’re making a wrong decision, and I’m going to change their minds through your words, saith God. So stay in tune and know My mind for the hour. For yea, it is thus saith the Lord.
Resurrection Power in Your Lips
January 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Even the resurrection power will be in your lips, saith God. Yea, even people among you saith the Lord, even dead spiritually, they’re going to live, because you’re going to speak them, those who have fallen away, saith God, and you say, “They cannot be restored. How could they live again?”
But yea, you’re going to speak, saith God, and they’re going to live. Yea, even as bone comes to bone, saith God, because you’re going to prophesy even to the graveyard, saith the Lord, and bone is going to come to bone; flesh is going to come to flesh, saith the Lord, and My Spirit is going to come and live in that flesh because of your word.
Turning the Corner
January 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Aleta Ellsworth
The Lord just keeps speaking into my spirit that tonight we’ve turned that corner. I just believe tonight we’ve turned that corner. Turning the corner… Somebody else? Turning the corner…
Fire Falling
January 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
As we were singing that, I could see the Fire beginning to rain in this service tonight. I could just see it falling. The Bible said that when the Holy Ghost fell on the day of Pentecost, that it fell like cloven tongues of fire. And I began to see the Fire as it began to fall like droplets in this place.
Line of Distinction
January 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
Last night as our family was praying for Uganda, for the believers, I feel like the Lord showed me how to pray for those that had AIDS. And Brother Walker’s testimony tonight was just what the Lord had spoke to us, that He was going to begin to give a distinction and to draw a line between what happened around us and the believers. And as we began to pray…
That Scripture, we looked it up, and it was I believe in Exodus chapter eight, twenty-three, where it talked about that He had made a distinction between those in Goshen and Egypt and the plagues.
And we began to pray for that. And tonight when Jonathan started singing and he said, “Sign to the nations,” I began to pray, and it was like the Lord was showing me a definite distinction that’s going to be made for those believers in Uganda as they begin to line themselves up and they begin to be shed of man’s worship and paganism and creeds and doctrines. But I especially saw a black-faced sister, and she was beautiful. But I believe that the AIDS plague that has come to her is broken in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Trumpets for Us All
January 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jan Salvador
Earlier in the service I kept seeing the long trumpets. And all I keep hearing from it is “Obedience.” But it was more than one trumpet. It was trumpets for all of us. It was the Spirit for all of us. And it just was “Obedience.” It’s our choice.
Lost in Worship on Zion
January 30, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
On Zion we worship…
I’m seeing people on the mountain of Zion. They’re lost in worship. They’re swaying. They’re just totally lost, hallelujah, in the Spirit. Hallelujah.
Battle Through Praise & Worship
January 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, have I not called you My children, saith the Lord? Have I not chosen you and brought you into this place of deliverance, saith God? Have I not called you soldiers, saith the Lord, on the battle? And yea, how do you do battle, saith the Lord? It is through praise and through worship, saith God. Yea, I have sent you, even on to the battlefield, saith God.
And I would see, saith God, as you would go out on the battle and have praise and worship, yea, your praise and worship will strengthen you, saith the Lord. Yea, it will be a shield about you, saith God. Yea, it will confuse the enemy and drive them far from you. Oh yea, saith God, many enemies will be confused and drop their swords and run from you, saith God, because of your praise and your worship, yea, because of the dance, saith God. I’ve chosen you, saith the Lord. I’ve chosen you on the battlefield.
Yea, I’ve seen you when you were weak and you desired to lay down the sword, and you’ve desired to lay down the shield. But yea, it is in those hours that I’ve been with you, saith God, that I’ve sent strength unto you. Yea, if you will in those hours lift up a praise to Me and begin to worship, saith God, I will send My Spirit to you and it shall be a strength and a glory about you, saith the Lord.
For yea, I’ve sent My Glory, saith God, as a shield even about thy rearward, saith God, it shall cover thee, yea, so the enemy cannot come from behind, saith God, so that he cannot sneak up on you from behind, saith the Lord. Yea, you shall go out into battle and you shall be covered by My Glory, by My Spirit, saith the Lord, through praise and through worship. Hallelujah…
Dancing in the Streets
January 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
This morning in the service when we were singing that song, “Dancing in the streets of Jerusalem,” I saw a vision, and I believe it was in the natural. I don’t believe it was in the Spirit, and I didn’t obey the Lord.
But I saw a line of sisters, a single-file line, and some of the brothers even, in a line across the front of the church, and they were dancing and praising the Lord. And I wonder if we could sing that song again tonight.
Dancing in the streets…
Instruments of Revival & Harvest
February 8, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
I keep hearing the Spirit of the Lord say, “Instruments of revival. Instruments of harvest. Instruments of revival. Instruments of harvest.
Building a House of Worship
February 13, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, do you not know that when you come into My House and you praise Me, yea, you’re building, saith the Lord. You’re building a House, saith God, a House of Worship. And yea, as you build the walls, saith the Lord, and the roof, yea, it is soon the time that I should move in and I shall live among My people.
Yea, as you worship Me, saith God, you’re lifting the rafters, saith the Lord. You’re lifting up a House. Yea, and as you worship Me, saith God, I will come and I will dwell in the House. For yea, I’ve said that as you worship Me, you enthrone Me in your praises, saith God. You build a habitation.
And yea, this is the House that I have chosen. Yea, this is the House. This is the House that you will build Me, saith the Lord. A temple. Yea, a temple that I can dwell in, that I can live in. Yea, a House of Worship, saith the Spirit. Hallelujah.
Enthroned in Our Praises

Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
You are enthroned in our praises,
We long to worship You.
We come into Your Presence with singing,
And we long to worship You.
You are enthroned in our praises…
We’re building a house of worship,
We’re building a house for You.
You are enthroned in our praises…
We’re building a house of worship,
We’re building a house for You.
Given the Nation of Uganda
February 20, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
And so I just feel like God is going to have us. In fact, He spoke to me this morning when I was in the shower and He said, “You don’t even realize this, but I’ve given you the nation of Uganda.”
Have a Vision of Calvary
February 20, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
You know, I just caught a vision of a broken body that was beaten and bloody, pierced in the wrists and in the feet, hanging on a cross. And I just caught a vision of that body twitching as it neared death, the muscles of that body involuntarily contracting from the last moments of pain that would soon bring the sweet relief of death.
And I remembered He was wounded for my transgressions; He was bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Hallelujah. It would do us all good tonight to have a vision of Calvary again, and see the Lord suffering on your behalf.
Blow, Winds, Blow
March 5, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Blow, winds blow… I prophesy unto the north; I prophesy unto the South. I prophesy unto the east; I prophesy unto the west. Blow, winds, blow. Blow. Blow, winds, blow. Hallelujah…
I Will Cover You Again
March 5, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
My beloved, I long for thee, saith the Lord. Yea, I am the love that you search for. Yea, I am the love that you long for. Yea, I am the satisfying portion, saith the Lord. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I seek for thee, and I search for thee, even in this hour.
For yea the Lord would say unto thee, many of you can sing with your lips. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, it is not with the lips that love is made to Me, but it is with a heart, saith the Lord. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many of you have drawn near Me with your lips and with your words, but your heart is far from Me this night.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I desire to cover thee. Yea, I desire to draw thee unto Myself, saith the Lord. Yea, I desire to cover thee with My love to sustain thee, yea, to encourage thee, to heal thee, to strengthen thee. But the Lord would say unto thee, when I search for thee, you’re not there.
The Lord would say unto thee this night, I call you. Yea, I call you to draw near to Me with your heart. Yea, I call you to draw near to Me with your life. Yea, I call you to surrender to Me this night, saith the Lord. For I desire to love you. Yea, I desire to show you My love. Yea, I desire you. I desire you. And I desire to draw you unto Myself.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, hear the Voice of your love, for I have called to thee this night. You that are afar off, you that have grown cold and distant, yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I call you. And I call you not for tomorrow. I call you for today, that in this very moment you might know Me again in the realness and the closeness that we have shared together.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I desire to walk with thee again. I desire to talk with thee again. I desire to cover thee again with My Spirit, that we might be one. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have not moved away from thee; you have moved away from Me. I bid you come tonight. Come to Me, saith the Lord, and I will cover you again, and you will know My love.
For yea, I will open My love to you, saith the Lord, like a book. And the pages as they turn, saith the Lord, more of My love will be revealed to you on every page. Come, saith the Lord, you that have drawn away. I call you, draw near, and I will cover you again with My covering, saith the Lord.
The Jealousy of the Lord
March 5, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Just before those words were forming in my spirit, I experienced a very strange emotion. And I don’t even know how to put it in words, lest you think that it was my own emotion and not what I’m saying. But I’m not jealous tonight over my wife or over anything that I can think of. I can’t think of anything right now that has made me jealous.
But I began to feel such an overwhelming feeling as we were singing that song. And although I didn’t form any thoughts in my mind of being jealous, I could feel such a heaviness and such a strong feeling in my spirit, and I knew that I was feeling the jealousy of the Lord. I know that’s hard for some people to grab a hold of. But God said about Himself, He said, “I am a jealous God.” How many of you remember it? In His Word He said, “I am a jealous God.”
And I could feel in my heart before those words were forming, the jealousy of the living God. And why is He jealous? Why would He be jealous toward us? Because He has given His life for us. He’s purchased us with a price (Amen?) the price of His Blood.
And He calls to us. And when He calls to us, our minds so many times are so filled with other loves, with other things. Other things catch our attention so much quicker than the Lord is able to get our attention. Bad news or gossip or something else, some other affection, some other love, our job or our home or our possessions or something that’s precious to us, our family even. I could feel the jealousy of the Lord, and that He desires to be our heart’s desire. Those words say, “You alone are my heart’s desire.”
We may need other things in life. We need food; we need clothing; we need shelter, and we need money sometimes to pay our bills and to survive. God knows that we have other needs. But I believe He desires to be our only heart’s desire. I believe He has a desire to be all that we long for. That’s why He said in His Word, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all of His righteousness; and all of these things shall be added unto you.”
Clothing Experience
March 5, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Betty Omilian
It came to my heart that the north and the south and the east and the west winds would be a clothing experience for us, God’s people.
Prophesy to the North Wind
March 5, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
You can believe this or not. It doesn’t matter to me whether you do or you don’t. But last night I went to the prayer chapel and I was praying. And it was late and I was praying, I said, “Lord, speak to me.” I said, “Just give me a word. I don’t care what it is. Just speak to me. I feel dry in my spirit.”
And He spoke to me, and He kept bringing it to me in the service this morning, and I wouldn’t obey the Lord, and now I know that I should have. But He kept saying last night, “Prophesy to the north wind.”
I said, “Well, Lord, what does that mean? Why should I prophesy to the north wind? It don’t make sense.” But I started prophesying to the north wind.
This morning Brother Shelley, first Scripture he read, I knew immediately why God said, “Prophesy to the north wind.” Hallelujah.
Draw Me My Beloved
March 5, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Draw me, My beloved…
Oh, draw me my Beloved into your embrace.
Draw me, my Beloved, let me look into Your face.
My Beloved is mine, and I am His.
So draw me close to you.
Awake, north wind and come thou south,
Blow upon my garden, that the spices may flow out.
My Beloved is mine, and I am His
Draw me close to You.
Repeat…
Stretch Yourselves into the Anointing
March 12, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
I hear the Lord say, “I will pull you up, My children, into the greater, saith God, into the greater things of My Spirit. Yea, if you’ll reach up into My Glory, reach up with all that’s in you… Stretch, saith the Lord. Stretch yourselves into a place that you’ve not been before. Stretch yourselves, and I will show you the greater, saith God. I will show you the greater.
Yea, for the greater things are greater, saith the Lord, than you’ve ever seen, greater things than you’ve ever seen in your life, saith the Lord. You’ll begin to experience My Glory, My Anointing, in a measure that you’ve never experienced it.” Hallelujah. We stretch in Your Anointing. Hallelujah…
Wearing the Lord’s Wedding Band
March 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain, Shared by Brother Greeley
Sister Tremain was speaking to me. This week as she was with some others, they were in the Presence of the Lord. She said she felt the Lord slip that wedding band on her finger. You can observe and she that she doesn’t wear one and probably hasn’t for quite some years.
She said she used to play with hers, twist it, when she wore one. I remember doing that myself. She said she knew that that wedding band had been slipped on her finger. What a blessing to know that you’re loved as much, that God loves you so much that He would claim you as His own, that He would call you His Bride, that He would desire for you to wear His Name.
Open Channel in the Spirit
March 14, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
In the Spirit, I can look across the congregation, and I see a channel opened in the Spirit. It goes somewhere around the platform, all the way back. And it’s making a circle at the back and coming all the way back. It’s like a circuit of electricity just going back and forth. It’s a prophetic anointing in this service.
Played as an Instrument to the Lord
March 19, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw as it were the Lord, picking up a beautiful harp and placing it between His knees. His hands beginning to pull across the strings. And the thought came into my spirit. If you would have seen that harp standing alone in the corner, you would have never known the music that was locked inside. But when it was pulled to the knees of the Master Musician, and His fingers began to manipulate the strings, music that you would have never imagined possible, began to flow forth.
Let Him make you an instrument. Let Him play you and tune you as an instrument. If we should see you standing in the corner, we might not ever believe that you had it in you, the ability to flow or to accomplish. But when you sit upon the lap of the Lord and you are drawn to Him, and He begins to play and use you. Oh my, there is no limit to what can flow forth from your being.
Praise Me More
March 19, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Al Schmitz
The word come to me saying, “You need to praise Me more. I need praise.” Said, “I’m not a whole God to you if you just ask for prayer and you don’t praise Me enough. So praise Me more.”
From Passive Warfare to Aggressive Warfare
March 19, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Do you not know that I’m moving you from passive warfare to aggressive warfare, saith the Lord? And yea, this warfare is not going to be the warfare that you see in the natural, saith God, but it’ll be a spiritual warfare, yea a warfare of praise, saith the Lord, that will defeat the enemy. You’ll go out, saith the Lord, and confuse and confound him, saith God. But yea, it will no longer be done by the passiveness of your spirit, but yea, by the aggressiveness.
For I have said, “Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent will take it by force.” And in this hour it will be forceful, saith God. The warfare that you do will not be passive, but it will be forceful. Yea, force, saith God, use force on the enemy. When he comes to you and he brings doubt into your mind, be aggressive, saith God. No longer be passive, but be aggressive in the Spirit. Use the sword aggressively, saith the Lord.
For I have taught you to use the sword. I’ve taught you to wield this sword with a strong arm, saith the Lord. Follow Me, saith God. Follow My arm, saith God, and go as I have gone before you. Go aggressively into this battle.
Claim the Gates
March 19, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
I hear the Spirit saying, “Claim the gates of Jerusalem. Claim the gates. Claim your gate tonight. Possess it in the Spirit. It’s yours. It’s your inheritance, saith the Lord.”
Dancing in His Will & His Avenue
March 19, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Joyce Greeley
There were some words that came to me during the worship service. I probably should have shared them, but by the time that I had the anointing and the courage both to do it, it was too late, and so I’m just going to share what came to my spirit during that time. It was that God has called His Bride the New Jerusalem.
And so when we dance, when the Bride dances in the streets of New Jerusalem, she is dancing in His will and in His avenue. And He has said to us, “I will bring you out on a song and on a dance.”
And so when we’re dancing in the streets of New Jerusalem, we’re dancing in His will and we’re dancing in His avenue, and He’s going to bring us out on that. And there was some more, but it’s not coming out right now. But I thank God for that.
Behind the Banner
March 19, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I see in the Spirit right now. I see banners waving in the Spirit, going before the army of the Lord. And I see people getting behind their banner. There’s a mass of people behind this banner and a mass of people behind that banner.
And I see them marching in the streets. They’re marching on their city, the city of Jerusalem, not the city naturally Jerusalem, but the spiritual city of Jerusalem, Zion, the holy city of God. I see them going to possess the city. Hallelujah, hallelujah…
Demonic World Crying for Help
March 19, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision give to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord and the words were given, I could hear voices screaming. Their words were un-distinguishable. But many, many voices screaming at the same time for help. And I realized… You know, my first interpretation, my first thought would have been the masses crying for help.
But the Spirit of God made it real to me that it was the cry of demon spirits that were crying out to one another for help. And it helped me to realize that the things that the Lord was doing for us in that moment was causing an uneasiness and an unrest. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
And if I had to sum up my desire for being here tonight, I could sum it up in two things. Number one, I want to be here to exalt and lift up the Name of Jesus Christ. That’s my first desire. But my second desire would be to bring trouble and confusion to upset his kingdom, that demonic kingdom that holds people, to confuse his strategies and plans and plots, to upset his control in people’s lives.
And I could hear those screaming voices, and I realized they were trying to contact one another. The prophet of God taught us that. Many times he spoke along these lines. Even in a service he recognized the demons that were crying out from one to another for help and for reinforcement.
And if we had any goal, I believe it would be first again to exalt Jesus Christ. But number two, if we had any purpose in life in being here tonight, I believe that would be every desire, all of our desires, that we would be able to cause those spirits confusion, that they would have to cry out for one another.
But I’ve got the idea that if they all rallied around one another to strengthen and help one another, their power, their abilities would still not be enough to defeat the will of God in our midst. I just want to praise the Lord for that.
Removing the Comfort Zone
March 21, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
I don’t know who you are, but somebody is getting ready to lose their comfort zone. God’s got a message that He wants to put in your heart. And you’re never going to be the same again when you hear what God has to sow into your spirit.
And the Word of the Lord is unto you tonight, “You could not hear My voice as long as you’re comfortable, so I will remove those things which have made you comfortable, saith the Lord. And I will speak to you, and you shall know My voice and forevermore be changed, saith the Lord.”
Keeping Covenant
March 21, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I believe the Lord wants me to say to somebody tonight that He has not forgot the covenant that He made with you. He has not forgot the promise that He made to you. And though you don’t see it coming to pass, He said for me to tell you trust Him anyway. Believe Him anyway.
And praise Him anyway. He said, “I have not forgotten the covenant that I made with you, that I signed by My unction and by My Spirit. And I will surely bring My part of that covenant to pass, if you’ll stand firm in that which you promised, if you’ll be faithful in that which you contributed, in that which you vowed. If you’ll be careful to pay your vow, the Lord said I will rebuke the devourer for your sake, and I will keep My covenant, saith the Lord.”
Only the Beginning
March 21, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I keep hearing the Spirit of the Lord say several times, seven or eight times in my spirit as we were finishing up singing, “Can you believe what the Lord has done in me…” But I keep hearing the Spirit say, “And it’s only the beginning. It’s only the beginning. It’s only the beginning.” Hallelujah.
So no matter what the Lord has done in your life, there’s so much more that He desires to do for us if we’ll yield ourselves to Him. It’s only the beginning, church. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Touched by the Power of God
March 21, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Anne Tremain
I just feel the Spirit of the Lord here so real. And I just want to do this. I don’t understand it, but just please believe it’s from the Lord. I just want to touch somebody. I just want to touch somebody. And if they’ll just believe when they touch me, that it’s the Power of God that’s doing it, they can be healed right now. And He even said, “Those that you want to stand in for.”
Wings of the Lord
March 26, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I know this is going to sound strange, and I hesitated to give it. As we were singing that, I could feel the wings of the Lord in this place. And I know we’ve sang songs about the wings of the angels, but I could feel the wings of the Lord as He move throughout the building.
I could feel Him all over the place as He would flutter and move His wings. I believe the Bible said He’ll cover us; He will hide us under His wings; under His wings we’ll trust.
Season of Reconciliation
March 26, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
In the Name of Jesus, in the Name of Jesus Christ, take your hands off the servant of the Lord. Satan, I command you to loose this back, I command you to loose this back in the Name of Jesus Christ.
You are mad, Satan. You are mad, but you’ve got to go. The Word of Jesus Christ is against you in the Name of Jesus Christ. I command you to leave, I command you to leave. I speak the Word of Jesus Christ. I speak the Word of healing in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Before he gets on the plane tomorrow, may he be healed in the Name of Jesus Christ. May he not be afraid to go with the Sword of the Lord, in power and demonstration. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. In power and demonstration. (Tongues) Oh, hallelujah.
For this is the season of reconciliation, saith the Lord. And I see the tearing of the country, how the enemy would desire to rip this country apart. But yea, I’ve called you to high ministry, saith the Lord, a high ministry, saith God, a priest of reconciliation. And you’re going, saith the Lord. You’re going to minister. You’re going to minister, so don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid of those who would seem against you. Don’t be afraid of those who would stand against you.
For I will turn them around as they see, as they see the peace that you are bringing with you, as they see the puzzle coming back together, as they see this nation coming back together. For this is the season and the time that I will draw many back together by the ministry that I have given you, saith the Lord.
Miracle for Someone
March 26, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
I don’t know who this is to, but the Lord revealed to me that if somebody will press in, God has got a miracle for someone in this place tonight. If you’ll reach up with faith, there is a miracle waiting in the heavenlies right now. It’s above your head. I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what your need is. But God said there is a miracle in this place tonight. Reach up and claim it for you. Hallelujah.
I’ve tried to get away from it, but I can’t. Whoever the person is that needs the miracle tonight, would you come down to the front (hallelujah) while the Spirit is moving.
Licks of Fire Going with Us
March 26, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And as I was being ministered to tonight, I could just see us as a group, moving into that nation, Lord, and just those little licks of fire, not hanging over our heads, but the licks of fire were down around our feet. As we were walking in, those licks of fire were going with us.
Building You as a Monument & a Testament
April 2, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Jonathan Hollis
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, behold, I am building you up as a monument, as a testament, saith the Lord, of My Glory and of My Power. I’m not building you up unto man, saith the Lord, but I’m building thee up to Myself, for when I see thee, I shall remember the good things that I have done, saith the Lord.
Yea, it is not because things that you’ve done, but yea it is the good things that I have done. Yea, I am building you up before My eyes, saith the Lord. Even as I built up many of the patriarchs of the Bible, saith God, and as the old times, yea, I’m building you up.
But yea, you shall not fall, saith God. And your testament shall not fall, neither shall your monument fall, but you shall stand forever before Me as of a nation unto, unto Me, saith God, and unto My Glory.
Yea, I shall crown thee. Yea, I shall crown thee even with Glory and with My Anointing. I shall be the crown upon you, saith the Lord. It shall not be this or that, and it shall not be gold or silver, but it shall be Me, saith the Lord, that I shall put My crown on you, saith God.
Cast Your Burden
April 4, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given by David Omilian
Have I not told you, saith the Lord, to cast thy burden unto Me? And I shall sustain thee. I have said I will not suffer My righteous one to be removed. I tell you again tonight, cast thy burden unto Me.
Lift thy praise unto Me, and I will sustain you in your time of trouble. I will sustain you in the time of need, if you will cast your burden unto Me. Praise Me tonight, and I will remove the burden from your life. I will lift you unto a higher plateau if you will praise Me. Praise Me, praise Me, praise Me. Praise Me tonight, saith the Lord.
Don’t Forget About America
April 16, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
But God spoke to me on the airplane as I was coming home, meditating on the Lord. I’m working on a book called “My Eyes have seen the Glory.” And I’m working on it. And as I was typing it on the airplane, the Spirit of God spoke to me so plainly and said, “Don’t forget about America.” So plainly. “Don’t forget about America.”
And you know, I said, “Lord, I can’t speak that out to Message people because they believe that America, according to, you know, how they interpret what Brother Branham said, that America is just forgotten.”
But I want you to know that I don’t believe that that’s what he said. Nor do I believe that that is the truth. I do believe that the greatest harvest of souls would be in the Third World. I believe that. But I do believe that God will not turn His back on a nation that has been the most faithful nation on the face of the earth to evangelize the world. No other nation in this world has sowed the seeds for harvest that this wicked ungodly nation has done.
Anywhere you go in the world, the Gospel has gone there because of this nation. And I don’t believe that a national revival is about to happen. I don’t believe that at all. I believe there are nations in the world that are going to have a revival for the whole nation. I believe China is going to have to have… I believe I’m going to China next year. I believe that by faith I believe that China is going to have a national revival.
I believe North Korea is going to be one of the last nations that will have a national revival, because they’ve never had it. I do not believe that America is going to have a national revival. She has forgotten and forsaken that. She has been indicted for the second crucifixion of the Word.
He has not forgotten you. You’ll never know how it encouraged me when I was sitting on that airplane, typing the introduction to the book, when the Spirit of the Lord spoke in my heart and He said, “Don’t forget about America.” Because so many times we have turned our eyes everywhere but America.
If God could do that for Abraham, if God could do that for Moses, if God could do that for Noah, and if God could do that for Israel, then surely the Lord will remember His Bride in the United States of America and will visit her once again with Truth.
There is another generation on the scene, another group of Pentecostals, another group of Charismatics, another group of Full Gospel Businessmen, who have not been privileged to hear what their grandfathers heard. I don’t believe that God is going to forget about this generation that has never had the opportunity to hear.
April 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Abernathy
When I was praying the Lord said, “London, England.” I asked the sister, I said, “Is Pastor Shelley going to London, England?” She said, “Next month.” Praise the Lord. The Lord said that you’re going to have Fire. He said the Fire that’s going to come on you to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ is going to be like an explosion. He said, “You’re going to be equipped and ready, and the Anointing is going to be so strong, the blind shall see, and the deaf shall hear, and you shall walk in mighty miracles,” said the Lord.
Holy Ground
April 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Be still and know that I am God. And I am walking in the midst of thee this night, saith the Lord. Do you not know that when you entered this place, it is holy? Yea, it is holy ground, saith the Lord. And yea, I have prepared this place and those who would move in this place for miracles, saith God, and for the…
Yea, for the atmosphere that is even about you, saith God, yea the things that you brought with you, the Anointing that you brought in this place, yea, I have put it in thee; I have placed it in thee. Yea, I have called thee into this place so that I could use you to work my works in the last day, saith God. Know that I am God and I am in the midst of thee. Hallelujah, hallelujah…
Rise Up in My Power
April 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee even now, you shall begin to call those things that are not as though they were. For yea, I am not a God of yesterday, but I am the God of today. I am the God of the now. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I’m getting ready to move you into a new level of trust, saith the Lord.
Yea, many of you have had such struggles trusting one another. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, as I move you into this new level of trusting Me, yea, it will cause you to look at one another in a different light. Yea, it will cause you to trust one another, even as you learn to trust Me, saith the Lord.
Prepare yourself, for even now do I declare unto thee that for you the Pillar of Fire is moving. Yea, yea, the Lord would say unto thee, pack up that which belongeth unto thee and move, saith the Lord, following that Fire that I have called you for. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, do not lodge too long on this side of the wilderness, for I have given you the Kingdom, saith the Lord.
Yea, rise up in My Power, saith God. Rise up in My strength and in My Anointing, and possess the land that I have given unto thee. For the day of the miraculous is at hand, saith the Lord, if you can dare to believe. For I will gather My elect, saith the Lord, in these last moments of time.
Do not be afraid to bid goodbye to the old, for I will establish you in the new, saith the Lord. Even a new promise and a new covenant unto thee do I make, that if you’ll walk in that foundation that I have already laid, and build upon that Word that I have already delivered, then the Lord would say unto thee, You shall be My tabernacle, and I shall dwell in thee in My fullness, saith the Lord.
Trust Will Be Restored
April 16, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Elfrieda Wittmeier
While we were in Norway, the very last night, we were talking about the things of God. And the Pillar of Fire was there and moving in a very mighty way. And as we were talking, I felt led to say that the very hardest thing the Bride will have to overcome at the End-time (I was quoting the prophet), and that was to overcome the distrust in one another.
And as I was standing there, I know the Lord spoke to me, and He told me to take that promise for Norway, that the trust would be restored amongst all those people, every wall would be broken down. And I want to speak it to the Heavenlies today, that God is going to restore the trust between every one of them…
Full Surrender
April 18, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I could see before my eyes a white flag, just between me and the monitor, just waving in the breeze. And you know, I’ve seen visions. I understand that. But it seems like sometimes they’re realer than other times. And it was so real until I wondered if Benjamin was responsible. I just wondered what my son had drug…
You know, you never know what you’re going to find in the house at the other end of the house from where it belongs. Don’t lay your socks down or anything else, because you may find it in the kitchen.
And for just a moment I looked down to see. But of course, he wasn’t in there. The door, I think, was closed. His mother was with him. And I looked back toward the screen; Brother Jonathan was preaching with a great authority. And all of a sudden, here come that white flag again just waving. And I said, “Lord, what is that?” And He spoke to my spirit and He said, “It speaks of the coming of a full surrender.”
And you know, I remembered that. That was easy. I don’t know why I didn’t catch that right away. When one team, when one army wanted to symbolize to the other army, “We give up. We’ve gone as far as we can go. You’re just slaughtering us, and we’d like to run, but we know if we run, you’re going to shoot us in the back. So we’d like to just let you know we quit. We give up. Please quit slaughtering us. We surrender.”
We’ve sung that song all of our lives, “I surrender all, all to Jesus I surrender.”
And the Holy Spirit was speaking in my spirit saying, “The coming of a full surrender is at hand for the Body of Christ.” The things that we’ve been holding on to, the things that we desire to hold on to, even though we know God is not pleased with those thoughts, with those things. I believe the Lord desires to lift us up into a new dimension in His Glory and in His Spirit, making it so much easier (hallelujah) to turn loose of those things that have hindered us for so very long.
He said, “The more you wave that surrender flag to Me, the more I’m going to cause you to step higher, just like climbing stairs, higher and higher and higher in that level, higher levels of surrender.”
Do you ever get the idea God is waiting to hear one great big, “Yes,” from your inner being? “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. I’m tired of fighting. Yes, Lord.” Hallelujah. And God said to me so beautifully, He said, “When you let Me move you into that season of surrender,” He said… And that white flag, I could still see that white flag waving.
And I could see the flag changing, but I never could see exactly what it was changing to. But the Spirit spoke to me and He said, “When you surrender,” He said, “you’ll be like that white flag, that white flag of surrender. My little Bride, the Body of Christ will be that surrendered flag.” And he said, “That’s when I’m going to wave you before the nations of the world, an as ensign of what I can do with someone who surrenders to me.”
Let My People Go in Romania
April 19, 2000 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I just need to say one more thing, declare it. I want to declare to those preachers in Romania that are oppressing God’s Bride, the Word of the Lord is unto you this night, and I declare, “Let My people go, saith the Lord.” Hallelujah.
Romania on Fire with the Glory of God
April 19, 2000 (Wednesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But when I was first singing, “I’m going to let go and let God take me to the nations of the world,” I could see the map of Romania, and I could see that it was on Fire with the Glory of God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. And I saw plane tickets laying out on the table… I knew they were ours, to the country of Romania. I tell you, those people…
We showed them pictures of our Passover. We showed them pictures of our services where people were laying in the floor. And Sister Ligia said, “Were they ill?” One of those sisters has been in the Message, oh, twenty years or more. She said, “I’ve never seen anybody slain in the Spirit.”
Called to Prepare a Place
April 20, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee, My people, this night. Yea, I have seen thee, and I have seen the zeal that has often overtaken thee. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in times past you have moved with a zeal, but not according to knowledge. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, I will reveal heavenly knowledge unto thee.
Yea, I will fill thee with the knowledge of the Lord, and I will give unto thee the wisdom of the Most High. And yea, when it has come upon thee, I will consume thee with a zeal. Yea, a zeal not of your own making, not of your own desire, but you will in due season quickly be able to discern, saith the Lord, from your feeling, from your desire, and from My will and My desire to you, saith the Lord.
In times past you have struggled, said God, not knowing the difference between the urge of your flesh. Even though your purposes have been correct, and you were willing to go to be a blessing, the Lord would say unto thee, your motive would have been proper.
But yea, the Lord would say, I don’t want to do My business that way. I want you to be able to know when it is you and when it is Me, and when it would be the enemy. And the Lord would say unto thee this night, I desire to impart unto thee the knowledge of the Lord, and the wisdom to know the difference between My will and your will. Gather unto Me, saith the Lord.
Draw near into My Presence this night. For some of you will walk out in a higher realm of My anointing than you walked in. For the knowledge of the Lord will fill you, and I will continue to reveal it unto thee mixed with My wisdom, so that you might know the difference.
Do not be afraid to step out in faith and believe, for I am the God of the impossible. And that which I have done, I will do again, saith the Lord. For it is My will to loose unto thee, saith the Lord, everything that you have need of to do the work that I have called you to do.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, if you will dare to believe, yea, and intercede before Me, yea, I will cause you to move, yea, saith the Lord, into that place that I have prepared for you, saith God. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in the spiritual I desire to move you. And yea, the Lord would say, even in the physical it is My desire, saith the Lord, to move you. So prepare yourselves.
For the Lord would say unto thee, the journey may be hard, and there may be inconveniences along the way. But yea, I have ordained you for this purpose that you might build a refuge, saith the Lord, for those that I would call around the world, to come and be filled with My Glory, with My anointing and with My purposes. Yea, I have called you to prepare, yea, a place where they might lay their heads down, saith the Lord, and find physical rest. But I’ve also called you to build altars where they might gather and find spiritual rest.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will give you that which you have need of, both in the Spirit and in the natural, if you will trust Me. And do not be afraid to be used of Me in giving of yourself and in giving of your finances to bring the work of the Lord. For I will never suffer you to do without. But I will provide for you as a Body and as individuals, families, saith the Lord. As you prepare to do My will, trust Me.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, do not straddle the fence. Yea, do not lean from the right to the left, but it’s time, saith the Lord, to share the vision that I have sent unto thee. It’s time to put your shoulder underneath the burden and become one, yea, even tonight I am calling you to be one.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, not only as a local Body, and a local congregation, but I will raise up others, saith the Lord, who will be one with you. Maybe not in physical location, but they’ll be one with you in Spirit. Yea, those who have appreciated this work and this ministry, they will also join with you as one, with one vision, with one purpose, and that is to establish My Kingdom in the hearts of men and women around the world, to speak the Word of Life and deliverance to the nations of the world, to bring in the final harvest that I have promised would come.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, all things are ready, yea, all things have been prepared for thee, saith the Lord, in that Kingdom that I have established for you, that Land of Promise. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, there are yet a few things in this realm that have not been finished, and have not been completed. And I call you to do that.
Yea, the Lord would say, I call you even now to finish things in this realm, and in this dimension, so that you might meet Me in the place that I have prepared for you. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, believe. Believe. Believe. Only believe Me, and I will do that which I have promised.
Yea, the knowledge of the Lord shall fill you, and the wisdom and the discerning of spirits will be upon you, for I am equipping My army to go forth and do the work that I have called her to do. Yea, she shall tread on serpents and scorpions, and she shall tear down strongholds of the enemy. And by her worship and by her intercession, she will cause heaven and earth to kiss, saith the Lord. And the heavenly things will be brought down into the earthly realm, and great deliverances and healings will take place.
For the Lord would say unto thee, in the coming days, the realm of heaven will be nearer to you than it has ever been before. Prepare your heart to receive heaven. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, it will surely come and kiss you even in this place, and in the place that I will use you to raise up in My Name. Do not be afraid that you’ll leave My anointing here. I’ll be here.
But the Lord would say unto thee, I’ll be with you, for you’re doing that which I have called you to do. And the Lord would say unto thee, when you worship in the place that I have called you to build, you will know the greater anointing. You will know the greater freedom.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I call to you this evening. I call to those of you who will not move forward in praise. I call to you, who stand on the sides lines and watch others, even sometimes having a critical thought. I call to you, saith the Lord. Examine your life and see. There’s little joy. There’s little freedom. Your relationship with Me is sick.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, don’t search for the answer. The answer is before your face this night. You don’t have to look to the right or the left to know the reason why your love affair with Me is sick. It’s sick because you will not move into that sacrifice of praise, that I’ve called My Bride to.
But the Lord would say unto thee this night, I give you another chance. I give you a chance to move and to bend, saith the Lord, in My Presence. I give you a chance to do those things that are not comfortable to your flesh.
Who has ever promised you that praise and worship would be comfortable for the flesh? Yea, because the flesh and the spirit are enemies one of another. And yea, even if it was comfortable for your flesh, then it wouldn’t be pleasing in My sight. But I call you to sacrifice before Me.
Yea, you may feel laughed at. You may feel mocked at. You may feel like people would never be able to accept that. But I didn’t ask you, saith the Lord, to figure it out. I asked you to obey Me. I didn’t ask you to be concerned about it. I asked you to be obedient to Me, saith the Lord.
If you’ll obey Me, saith God, I’ll cause great deliverance to come upon you. If you’ll obey Me, saith the Lord, I’ll move you into those realms of My Spirit, where you will know My Voice and you will know My will. I call you not to figure it out, neither do I want you to explain Me. You can’t explain Me. You can’t explain the work that I’m doing. You could never use the terms of this world and really explain the Glory of that which I have prepared.
But the Lord would say unto thee, just let Me stand alone and be God, and let Me do that which I have desired to do. Don’t feel like you have to make excuses for the Living God. Oh, I say unto thee, don’t feel like you have to tell people and make excuses for the worship. I’ve called you to obey Me. And I ask you again tonight, obey Me. No matter how you feel, no matter what you think people might say. I call you to offer a sacrifice of praise, and come into the Holy of Holies.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, people have spoken about Holy of Holies. They’ve spoken of the veil. They’ve said that’s where they want to live. They said that’s where they want to be. And I’ve come down and revealed to you to get there. And yea, some of you still won’t move in. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, did I not say that you would be forerunners? Did I not say I would make you examples to the world? Did I not say that others would gaze upon thee and see in you My will? They would see in you My desire for the last days.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, do not be afraid to be gazing stocks. Do not be afraid to be gazed upon or looked upon. For I have chosen you for that purpose to forerun that which I will do in the End-time. Do not be afraid. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, those who love the world will be cut off.
For I say unto thee, you cannot love the world and love the things of God. So I ask of you tonight to put the world behind you, yea, lay the worldly clothes, the garments of this world behind you. Lay the worldly things and the worldly entertainments of this life, lay them behind you, saith the Lord. Take all of those things that do not edify and glorify Me, and place them far behind you. For I have new realms for you to walk in. I have new Glory for you to taste.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, the honey and the sweetness of My Presence shall drip upon you even tonight, and you shall know that you’ve tasted the honey of heaven. Oh, be ready, My people, to move forward in these days, and do not doubt the Word of the Lord, for I will bring it to pass among you.
And those who refuse to move in will be left standing on the sidelines. Come, come in. Are you concerned about your loved ones? Are you concerned about the backslidden and those who have become lukewarm? Then I ask you tonight, allow yourself to be set on fire, for the Fire of God is here. Yea, the Fire of My Glory is here. Lay the sacrifice. Lay the sacrifice on the altar tonight, said God. Lay the sacrifice on the altar and I’ll come and consume you with the Fire of My Glory. And it will be a pleasing savor in My nostrils, said God.
Yea, you’ve said in the flesh, how that you despise the smell, how that you despise the aroma of burning flesh. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, some of you have experienced it in the natural, the stench of burning flesh.
But the Lord would say unto thee this night, it is not a stink in My nostrils. It is the sweet savor that I desire. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I desire the savor of burning flesh. Lay your flesh on the altar of the King, and I will consume you with holy Fire. And that which remains will be pleasing in My sight.
I’ve called you here to speak these words unto you. Do not doubt. Do not say it’s out of the ordinary. For yea, I have chosen this place, and I have chosen this vessel to speak unto thee this night. Receive the Word of the Lord, so saith the Living God. (Tongues)
Speak to the Nations
April 20, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Annie Jones
[Unclear audio] for the nations. I will lead you and guide you, but draw near to Me, because I will pour out My Glory upon you. I will pour out My Glory in you. You have to be strong, My people because there comes a time they will send you out. Don’t think what will tomorrow be, because I’ll be with you. I will lead you and guide you.
But this Word will go forth to the nations. Just speak, speak, speak to My people. Speak to My people all over the world because I have chosen you to do this work for Me. Just draw nigh to Me, My children. Draw closer to Me, My children, because there are some of you need some more, need some more in this time to do this work for Me.
But I will help you. Don’t fret. Don’t be dismayed. Don’t fear, because I will lead you and guide you. You are My chosen ones. Just believe Me. Believe My Word. Whatever will be spoken tonight, believe it, because I have chosen you to hear My Word, and to do it. (Tongues)
Winds of the Spirit
April 21, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Even now I’m beginning to feel the winds, not one wind, but many winds of the Spirit. As you go different ways, I feel the winds going with you this way and that way, blowing about the congregation. Let it blow over you tonight. Hallelujah…
Walk About Zion in the Glory of the Lord
April 21, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
In my spirit tonight, the Lord was speaking to me as we were worshiping the Lord concerning some that would like to enter in to a deeper realm of worship. Brother Jonathan was speaking to us about how that we’ve been taught that we should praise our way into the Presence of the Lord. Then we worship our way into the Holy of Holies. When we get there, we’re standing in the Glory of the Lord.
And in my mind’s eye, just the eye of my spirit, I could see some tonight who so desire, but there’s something that just really holds you back. I think it’s your flesh. I think it’s being concerned about what other people will think about you. But I just feel like tonight, asking you, as Brother Jonathan would lead us in that again. If somebody who needs a little more of a liberty and more of a freedom to enter into the Glory of the Lord.
I just like to ask you to walk about Zion tonight, with your hands lifted up in the air and your heart giving a praise and a worship to the Lord. And I believe that some of you, as you’re walking physically, just walking ahead, I believe spiritually you’re going to be getting higher and higher. I believe some of you are just going to walk right in to the glory of the Lord, as you obey this Word tonight.
Is there some, you just begin to do that right now. Just walk about Zion and let the Glory of the Lord just fall all over you. There’s no telling what God would do in this service if you’ll just yield to Him right now.
Lift Up in the Spirit
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Not only… If you will come into My Glory, saith the Lord, this night, if you will push past all the cares of this day, saith the Lord, if you will come past all those things, yea, I will not only pour out My Glory upon you, but I will give you a double portion of My Spirit. Yea, I will lift you up into a realm that you’ve never known before, saith God.
And I will give you blessings. I will give you gifts that you did not know of, saith God. Lift up in the Spirit. Lift up in My Spirit, saith the Lord, in praise and worship, and I will give you glory this night saith the Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Receive a double portion tonight of His Spirit.
Launch Out into Deeper Waters
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Know ye not, saith the Lord, that I have waters for you to swim in? Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, it is My desire to catch you from the bottom. It is not my desire that your feet would touch the bottom, for there are waters to swim in.
And yea, that’s what you fear. You fear, saith the Lord. You fear to lose control, because you realize when your feet are no longer on the bottom, then you’re just carried about by the swiftness of the water. But I say unto thee, it is My water. Do not be afraid for your feet to lose contact with the bottom.
For yea, I set before thee this night waters to swim in. And I call unto thee, launch out. Launch out, saith the Lord. Cast thyself away from the bank, and launch out into the deeper waters of deliverance. For I have desired it for you, saith the Lord. And I stand in the deep water, and I beckon for you to come to Me. Come to me, saith the Lord, and you’ll know those places that I have reserved for My Bride.
Knowest thou not that the Anointing of God is falling on the whole world? Knowest thou not that the just and the unjust are receiving like rain?
But the yea the Lord would say unto thee, don’t you know in your heart that I have reserved those deeper levels of My Glory, those deeper places of deliverance, those deeper places of seeing and hearing and knowing, don’t you know that I’ve reserved that for My Bride?
For the rain that’s falling on the just and the unjust is just the beginning. For I have showers that you have never tasted of, saith the Lord. Yea, My clouds are swelling with rain that you have never felt, never seen, never heard of, never imagined, saith the Lord. For I have reserved a portion for My Bride in these last days.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I speak to thee of a portion, but it is not a portion saith the Lord. You have known the portion. You have known the taste. You have known the foretaste, saith the Lord. But I speak unto thee of a fullness that you have not known.
Launch out into the deep, and you shall no longer walk in a portion, and you shall no longer carry a portion of My Glory and My person, but you shall know Me in the fullness of revelation, saith the Lord. You shall know Me. You shall know Me, saith the Lord, in the fullness of My revelation, saith God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
If you can receive that word, if you can receive that word, you can have it. I believe that’s all it takes to have it is to receive it. I believe that’s all it takes to get it is to receive it. Lord, I receive. Lord, I believe. Lord, I believe. Lord, I believe. Hallelujah.
Don’t be discouraged tonight. Don’t let the devil discourage you if you’re not walking in the realm you want to walk in. Don’t let the devil discourage you if you’re not swimming in the level that you desire. It’s there. It’s there for you. Hallelujah.
But you know, you have to crawl before you walk. You’ve got to start somewhere. But I see the Lord… Oh, yes. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Increased
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
You shall break out on the left hand and the right hand. You shall not be contained any longer, saith the Lord, but I shall cause you to be increased.
The Way Is Being Made
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
You know, I could hear in my spirit… This is going to sound strange. But I could hear in my spiritual ear as we were praying that, I could hear what sounded like timber being cut down, you know that swoosh, you know that… Oh, brother is a logger. He does that kind of work sometime. He works in the woods. I could hear like a swoosh as those trees were coming down.
And you know, it’s a deep thud, just a deep, hollow kind of sounding thud when that tree comes down and hits that ground. And I could hear them falling one right after another. And in my spirit I was thinking, “What in the world is that?”
But I believe the Lord is speaking to me to tell you tonight, the way is being made. Hallelujah. Yes. The path is being cleared. The way is being made. And the Lord said He’s going before us tonight, even making crooked paths straight.
Every mountain shall be made low, and every valley shall be exalted, and every obstacle and every hindrance shall be moved out of the way, and you shall know My way, and you shall know My will, for I am clearing the path for thee this night. Walk in it. Walk in the path that I have cleared. For the Lord declares, He declares it unto you tonight. Oh, hallelujah.
The Lord’s Promises Are for Me
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And I hear the Spirit saying, “It’s life-changing. It’s life changing.” What God is speaking about tonight is life changing. But it can only change your life if you identify with it. God’s calling for someone tonight, be identified with that Word. Identify yourself with that Word and say, “Lord, that’s for me.” You know, the devil tries to tell you, “That’s not for you. You can’t have that. He’s not talking about you.”
Why don’t you defeat the devil right now and just speak right out of your mouth, “That’s me he’s talking about. That’s for me. The Lord is promising that for me.”
Somebody say, “That’s mine. That’s mine. That’s mine. That’s mine. That’s mine.” Raise up your hand and say, “That’s mine. I claim that.” Hallelujah. And I’m going to pursue it. I’m going to chase after it. I’m going to run after it. I’m not going to wait on it to get a hold of me, but I’m going to lay a hold of it.
Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. Let a violent spirit anoint you to grab a hold of it. (Tongues)
Pursue Deliverance
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I hear the Lord speaking in my spirit tonight, to tell you that some of you are waiting on deliverance to pursue you. But the Lord said tonight, you need to pursue deliverance. The Lord said some of you are waiting on liberty to come to you and freedom. But the Lord said, you need to go to freedom and liberty.
So instead of just sitting and waiting on God to come and do it for you, if you know that you need deliverance, you need to chase for it. You need to pursue it. I can just hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, “Pursue deliverance. Pursue deliverance. Seek for it. Look for it. Search for it.” You see, there’s only one time that man can seek God, and that’s when God is seeking man.
And I believe that’s what these meetings have been about the last few nights: God is seeking an appointment with us. And if you need a touch, if you need healing, if you need deliverance, if you need to be stirred, don’t just stand and wait on it to come and tap on your shoulder, but pursue it. Ask for it. Look for it. I believe if you look for it, I believe you’ll find it, and I believe you’ll find it tonight.
Contact of Heart
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And the other word I thought we should pray about was, I could feel the estrangement in families in this meeting tonight. And I didn’t see names, or I didn’t even think of any family. I didn’t… My mind didn’t go to any particular family. But it came like this. You feel like… For instance, with parents, you feel like you’ve lost contact with your children. Something has happened.
And you live in the same house and you, you know, you sit around the table, but you know there is not a touching of the heart. Your hearts don’t touch any more. And I believe that was something that was for every family here tonight. Now as I’m thinking, of course, people might would come to my mind. But when I got it a few moments ago, I didn’t think if any family.
But I just saw it as a general word from the Lord for every family. I believe that in this coming time, season… I don’t want to say what season it would be, month, year, two years, whatever. But in this hour that we’re approaching, I believe God wants you to find that contact of heart. I believe that families are going to be knit back together. You know, the Lord gave us a word concerning families going out to spread the ministry, to spread the Gospel, to win souls. He said entire families would do it.
And I know that may not mean every child in a family and their parents. I understand that. But I believe it was speaking of the family being active in the work of the Lord, you know touching hearts. And I believe that that would be just for every family here tonight.
We mentioned last night or the night before, when young people get older, we all lose a little bit of contact with them. They don’t need us as much and don’t depend on us as much for things as they used to.
But I believe the Lord desires for… And I can just see it now as I’m speaking. It’s a touching of hearts. You know, you don’t quit loving one another. You just quit communicating. And sometimes communication is not by words alone. Sometimes our hearts communicate. I can communicate with my wife without words. And I believe that’s what…
I want those old acquaintances and old relationships renewed. I claim that in the Name of the Lord. And then for my extended family, I claim that word for the Lord, a touching of hearts again. It may not just be your immediate family. Just reach out and believe God for your extended family, you know, those that don’t live in your house. God’s Word is yea and amen. Something great is.
Renewing of Old Relationships
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
There were two other words that the Lord gave me, but I failed to give them, because I became self-conscious of the time, and I just didn’t obey the Lord. But I’ll give them as a prayer request. How about that?
One was, the Lord was speaking to me about the renewing of old relationships. And the Lord said that there was going to be an Anointing on the people that were here tonight, not just our church, but the people that were here tonight.
And in the next year from now, around maybe twelve, like a year from now, in that time period, that God was going to bring many people back into our lives that we have known in the past, and it would be a renewing of relationship.
And the Lord said for us to be very sensitive, because they’re going to… Many of them will receive things from us this time that they even rejected from us the last time. So be very wise and cautious.
Let’s pray about that. My mind started racing and I started thinking of all these different people that God could bring back into my life that it may be their time. God has a time for everything. Maybe the last time they crossed our paths they weren’t ready, or maybe we weren’t ready to help them. But if God would just keep His Word and bring them back, I believe most of us would be in better shape. You understand? To help them. You know, maybe we were even in sin when we met them. I don’t know how it’s going to be.
Levels of Deliverance
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And the other thing that I was seeing, I was seeing in an unusual way, levels of deliverance as we were worshiping the Lord. And I could see that it’s just like on a swimming pool. I remember as a boy being in the swimming pool, and they used to mark in real big, bold, thick, black letters, they would mark the depth as it would get to the bottom, as a warning to you, to let you know how deep the bottom.
Because sometimes those bottoms, they were made of like concrete, and the water was on it; you couldn’t tell how deep it was. And we used to hear of people being injured severely, diving into water, not knowing, because all pools weren’t made at the same rate of depth. And I can see that like those big, bold, black letters on the side of a swimming pool that we used to see, to declare the depth, the level of the water.
And I could see that there are levels of deliverance. And some of you have just started at the steps; You’re just coming in, just beginning to wade down from the outside, down in, you know, two or three steps, so to speak, down into that three-foot water. And then you move on down into the six foot and the twelve foot.
And if its Olympic, it might even be deeper than that. So the Lord wanted me to say to you tonight, don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel or have the deliverance in your life, the freedom that you desire. But realize that it’s graduation; it’s progressing just like revelation. And there are levels.
And the Lord was showing me that in the last few days, every time we have come into these anointed services, that many of us are stepping out into those deeper levels of deliverance. And I think what fools us sometimes is, we expect to feel different immediately. And if we don’t feel a sensation, then we don’t realize the deliverance that’s taken place.
But remember, deliverance takes places on the inside. Sometimes we immediately feel it on the outside, and sometimes we don’t even know that we’ve received a touched of deliverance until we’re faced with something that would have normally caused a problem. So it could be days before you realize the level of deliverance in your life. It could be weeks before you come in contact with that kind of a situation that would have normally caused you confusion and bondage. So don’t judge it on feelings. We’ve been taught to walk by faith but not be feeling.
The Good of the Land
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see a people eating the good of the land. I see a people who are not wasting away from starvation. I see a people who are not wasting away from malnutrition. But I see a people getting ready to sit down at a table and eat the good of the land. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
And they’re not a weak people or a broken people or a sickly people, but I see the health, the divine health of the Lord on their countenance. I see their skin is shiny and full of color. I see they’re not bent over, but they’re erect, and their bones are straight. Hallelujah. They’re not weak, but they’re walking in the strength of the Lord. And they’re sitting down to a table, and they’re eating not only the goodness of God, but they’re eating the good of the land.
For I have given you the good of the land, saith the Lord, and I have promised you that I would even store for you riches, and I would temporarily place it in the hands of the unjust. I’ve deposited it in their hands. But the Lord would say unto thee, it is not for them. They’re just holding it for you. For when I see that it’s your desire to put My work above your own will, then saith the Lord, I will loose it into your hands, and you will use it wisely, for the deliverance of souls around the world.
I say unto thee this night, praise Me. Praise Me in the lean times, and then you can praise Me even greater in the fat times. For the Lord would say unto thee, you have known the lean times. You have known the hungry times. You have known the barren times. But you shall be made pregnant, saith the Lord. For My Word I plant in you. And you shall know the fatness of the Glory of the Lord. And you shall know the plenty.
For yea I say unto thee this night, I shall increase you. You shall be increased in number. You shall be increased in Spirit. You shall be increased financially, saith the Lord, if you’ll go forth now in the calling that I have called you to. You shall know the fatness of the Lord and the plenty of the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Clearing the Way
April 22, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And now in the Spirit I can see people beginning to walk that way. And you know what I’m seeing? I’m seeing something. I appreciate the Lord for helping me tonight.
When I hear the Lord say, “I’m clearing the way,” I expect Him, you know, in my mind… (Real soft) I expect Him to cut the trees down. He said He’s clearing the way. And I expect Him to move all the trees out of the way and sweep the path. Not no pine needles laying anywhere, no sap to get on my clothes.
How many of you know that’s what we expect? The Lord said He was clearing the way. So there shouldn’t be any obstacles. Everything should go smooth, no hindrances. Everything ought to happen just like, you know, clockwork, because the Lord said He was clearing the way. But that’s not what I see tonight.
I see people having to step over those trees that the Lord has caused to fall before us. You see, the way’s clear. God’s moved the biggest part out of the way. It’s a lot easier to step over a tree when it’s laying down. Hear what I’m saying? It’s a lot easier to step over the trunk of that tree when it’s laying parallel to the ground.
God said, “I’m clearing the way.” And you’re standing there… I can see some of you. “Nope, it ain’t clearing up yet. Oh, I still see some hindrances. These are my Sunday shoes. These match my purse, and I ain’t getting them dirty.” Come on, now. God didn’t say He was going to make it all a bed of ease. He didn’t say it wouldn’t be hard. He didn’t say there wouldn’t be some problem. He said, “I’m clearing the way.”
The least that you and I can do is step over the trees. Hear the Word of the Lord. God speaks to us in parables. Hear the Word of the Lord. Don’t stand back and wait on God to move everything out of your way and dust it all up, smooth it all over, and make it all clear for you.
He said, “I’m clearing the way.” Trust Him at His Word. And if you still see a big old log laying in the way, ain’t you got two feet? Don’t you have a knee that’ll bend? Pick your feet up and step over it and say, “Ain’t no tree going to keep me from doing what God called me to do. God said He cleared the way, and if tomorrow I meet an obstacle, God’s already got a way for me to go around it or over it or through it, or whatever I need.”
God said the way was being cleared. So if it doesn’t look clear, I’m going anyway. So if I don’t get a place to live the first try, I’m going anyway. God’s cleared a way. If a job don’t chase me down, I’m going anyway. I’m going to do what God called me to do. If everything don’t fall into place, if the government just don’t bow down and make everything easy for me…
A Work to Do
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Brother Crawford
God has a work for you to do, Pastor, second to none. But God just wants you to continue to listen. Because the enemy… (Pastor, look at me.) The enemy would love to get you tied up with the traditions of the past. Because if the Spirit of God doesn’t intervene, it’s a tradition. When He intervenes, it’s His Spirit. A lot of people would love for you to be wrapped up and tied up in the past.
God wants to heal you also from the past hurt that came your direction. And God is working it out. But many people, they’re going to say, “He’s changed, he’s compromised.” And it’s not going to be that at all. It’s going to be you following the leading of the Spirit. And you’re no longer doing it, but letting God do it. Because when God does it, He does it well.
Lift Up Your Faith
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Yea, even as you lift your faith and your expectation, I will lift the tiredness and the weariness from your body, saith the Lord. Oh, if you will lift yourself up in Me, saith God, yea, I will pull you up even higher, saith God. Lift up your faith, lift up your faith, even to Me, saith the Lord.
And as you lift your faith, I will take you by hand and pull you even higher. Yea, I will pull you even higher than you’ve ever been before. You’ll walk in a realm that you’ve not known. Yea, some of you won’t even know where you’re at this night, saith the Lord. If you’ll reach yourself up, I will lose you in My Glory, saith the Lord. You will be lost in the Spirit and in the Anointing and in the Power of My Glory, saith the Lord.
Calling Us Higher
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Peter McFarland
[Unclear audio] Is it not worth it? …even one more step, one more mountain, one more valley. Is it not worth it to behold the Glory? I’m calling you higher, higher in Me.
Holy Glory
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
The words that keep coming to me over and over and over again as we’re singing is, “Holy Glory.”
Imparting the Essence of His Person
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The word the Lord was putting in my heart was “the essence.” And I was thinking about it just a moment before I would speak, because I know it has many meanings. But I know when they make fine perfume, some of the extracts, the oils that are used, it’s so concentrated, those oils; it’s the essence of something.
And the Lord was speaking to my heart, when everything else has boiled away or when everything else has burned away, when everything else has passed away, what you have left is the essence. And the Lord said, “I want to give you My essence tonight, what I am when all of your ideas about Me have faded away, when all of theologians’ ideas about Me and all of these conceptions about who God is, when all of that is faded away,” the Lord said, “Then it’s My essence,” that pure concentrate of His Glory that He wants to share.
And I believe tonight that the Lord desires to impart to us the essence of His person, who He is, who He really is. Not who we think He is, but who He really is. So let’s open our hearts and receive the essence of His Glory tonight. Hallelujah.
Shout & You Shall Be Made Free
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Flo Hendrix
When the walls of Jericho come down, they shouted. The Lord said that some of us, it’s like we had a plug, and if we would really shout that plug would come forth and we’d be set free; the walls of Jericho would come down. Shout unto the Lord. Ye shall be made free.
Come Forth
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Sister Anita Currie’s Song
Shared by Sister Jan Salvador
Sister Anita wanted me to give you these words to a song that the Lord’s been dealing with her. And she wanted me to testify for her tonight, but I feel now is the time to give the words. Says, “Come forth from the grave that holds you bound. ‘Come forth,’ His words rumble through the ground. Arise, awake. Shake off the dust. Shake the chains that bind you. You can, you must come forth, child of God. Arise and come forth.”
Don’t Grow Weary in Waiting
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Adelaida Vidal & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Have I not thought it? Have I not spoke it? Have I not decreed it? Have I not declared it? Have I not commanded it, saith the Lord? Yea, that which I have spoken, that which I have commanded, yea, saith the Lord, I will do that. Knowest thou not in thy heart that My words are true? And knowest thou not that I have every intention of doing that I have said that I would do for you?
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, do not be weary in your waiting, but serve Me while you’re waiting on Me. For I will surely bring every word to pass. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, if there’s something in your life that you’re waiting on, if you’re believing for, if you’re desiring to see it come to pass, yea, the Lord would say unto thee, don’t wait idly, but wait working and serving for the Kingdom, saith the Lord.
And yea, if you will work diligently, yea, if you will thrust yourself forth in the service of the Lord, then you will see the fruit of everything that I have promised. For yea, that which I have spoken I am faithful to perform. Believe Me. Do not doubt in your heart, and do not grow weary in your waiting. For that which I have spoken for you, I will surely do exactly that, saith the Lord.
Let His Glory Fall on You
April 23, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
As I shut my eyes, I could see. Brother Shelley was speaking last night about how the priest had a special garment for the Inner Court. And I could see the Lord with that special garment on. It was very white and very pure. And He was moving throughout this place. I could see the holiness of the Lord. It was so pure.
And as He would walk, it was like the Glory of the Lord was just falling off His garment. It was coming off the garment on those who were praising and worshiping Him in this place, those who were standing in His Glory. Hallelujah. Just stand in His Glory tonight and let His Glory fall on you. Hallelujah. Let His holiness come on you.
Healing Because of the Presence of the Lord
April 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Van Crawford
Pastor, I see wheelchair cases coming in here, but I see them leaving their wheelchairs. And you know what? Thank You, Holy Ghost. Father, I give You the praise. It’s not because anyone lays hands on them; it’s not because anyone prays for them, but because they are here in the Presence of the Lord.
Establishing a New Ministry
April 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord was also giving me a word for those who don’t necessarily know how to flow in some of those things that God tries to say. Because it’s hard to embrace anything new that God does when you’re trying to hold on to the old. And when I first began to hear those words some months ago, I began to run them through the Message. And I kept hearing Brother Branham say over and over again, “When that new ministry comes, the coming of that new ministry.”
And I knew in my heart years ago when I first heard Brother Branham say that, I knew he wasn’t talking about another preacher. I knew he wasn’t talking about a new preacher or a new ministry in that sense of the word. But I knew he was teaching about a dimension of ministry that was coming to the Bride. If you don’t believe that, then you don’t understand what he talked about the third pull. That third pull was that new ministry that he kept speaking about. Oh, yes.
He said, “We won’t always do it the way we’ve done it.” Anybody heard him say that? He said, “We won’t always do it the way we’ve done it, no, no.” He said, “God’s going to establish that new ministry.” And he taught us that it was a spoken Word ministry. He taught us that. And he told us in the tent vision that one day that’s how it would be.
Brother Branham didn’t completely understand when God first started dealing with him. Because he even said one time, he said, “One of these days we’ll try it that way.” He said, “We’ll just do it that way in an auditorium somewhere.” He said, “We’ll just do that maybe behind the curtain or something; we’ll have people to pass…” Anybody heard that? He said, “Maybe we’ll just do it that way, because that’s how we saw it in the vision.”
And you know, even one time he set something up like that, and the Lord moved him off of it. I can show it to you if you’re interested. The Lord moved him off of that. It wasn’t the time. And he was going to maybe bring it to pass, try to set it up so that God could fulfill the vision. But I don’t believe that was the time. I believe this is the time.
And I believe that answers why the Lord is speaking about the new. So don’t let your little, you know, ecclesiastical mind get in the way. Because it doesn’t mean what a lot of people want to interpret it. That’s not what it’s saying. But Brother Branham kept pointing, you know. He called it in places, “The turning of the corner,” and this and that and so forth, etc. But I believe…
And to balance it, he preached the message, “The Present Stage of My Ministry.” Remember that? To balance it. “This is where we are now, and this is where we’re going to be when God establishes that spoken Word.” I believe it’s coming. I don’t only believe it’s coming; I believe it’s coming; I believe it’ll be here; I believe it’ll spread to the nations of the world. Many other places will experience it simultaneously. But I believe we’re coming to that, and that’s what God’s speaking tonight.
Move Forward into the Promises
April 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
For yea the Lord would say unto thee this night, many who cannot see it now will be able to as they wait in My Presence. For yea, I will anoint their eyes with eye salve. And they will not only believe that I’m about to do a new thing, but they’ll see new visions, saith the Lord. Yea, they’ll see new doors opening. And yea, they’ll see the establishing of a new ministry.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, it is not something that is to be added to or something that is to be taken away. But the Lord would say unto thee, it’s another step, yea, another level of that which I have promised, saith the Lord. Do not tarry where you are, but move forward in Me, saith the Lord. And I will establish that which I have promised.
For yea, the Spoken Word that I have promised to My people is in her right now. And I’m waiting on the level of faith to rise to the extent that I might exercise that gift in My people. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many great harvests will be reaped by the Power of the spoken Word. And many deliverances will come.
And yea the Lord would say unto thee, thousands of miles away, deliverance will fall, because someone has flowed in that Spoken Word ministry that I desire to establish among you, and not only among you, but in the nations of the world where My Bride is scattered.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, it is that which I have promised. Do not fear it, and do not analyze it, but accept it and believe it and move forward in it, for I have spoken it unto thee and declared it to be so, saith the Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah…
Happening Gently
April 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word given by Brother John Heisey
When Brother Shelley gave that interpretation, I felt the same way as Brother Greeley brought out here just a minute ago, that I had an interpretation for that. And the word “newness…” I went right to my Bible, and I looked it up in the dictionary part, and it says, “Freshness.” Newness is freshness. And when that was coming forth, I saw…
…just like in the morning, you know, the dark gets dimmer and dimmer, and the light comes on, the sun comes up; it’s not fast; it’s not causing a commotion; it just happens. And the Lord spoke to me and said, “What is going to happen will happen gently,” and it’ll take care of these problems.
It’ll solve some of these things in Norway. It’ll solve some of the things in London and in Africa. And I know the Lord is moving. And it’s just going to be a gentle, fresh, anointing that’s going to come on, and away we will go. I praise the Lord.
In the Balance
April 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Peter McFarland
The Lord made it real to me that… I’ve heard so many people say, “Well, there’s got to be a balance, got to be a balance.” And He made it real to me, He says, “I am the balance.” Keep your eyes on Him, and He will keep you right in that balance.
Abolish the Old & Establish the New
April 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
This morning while we were worshiping the Lord, and I feel it again in my heart tonight… I didn’t find an appropriate time in the service this morning, but… Who was singing? Lisa was singing this morning, “I Know the Master of the Wind.” And over on my left side, I kept seeing someone moving this way and this way, and this way and this way. And I looked to see who had moved up.
I was still looking at Lisa, but I was looking to see who had moved up maybe to worship the Lord during her song. There was no one there. But as I looked again, all I could see was a leg from the thigh down, and that leg was stepping like that and drawing back, and stepping like that and drawing back.
And the Lord was just putting something in my spirit about making a new step, but I wasn’t sure what it was. But as we were singing that song just a moment ago, the Lord began to bring that to me and make it real, that God has given so many of us an opportunity to make a new step in Him, you know, stepping out of the old into the new, stepping out of bondage into freedom, stepping out of hindrances, oppressions, and yokes of bondage, and stepping into a glorious liberty that the Lord has afforded and made available.
And I believe some of us have done that, but I could just see that leg going in and coming back, and going in and coming back. And you know what that is? That constitutes straddling, you know, that constitutes hanging in, one leg hanging in the one side of the wall, and one leg hanging in the other. So I believe the Word of the Lord to us tonight is, as God would lead you and put it in your heart, you need to go on and make that step, no turning back, no looking back, no pulling back, no drawing back.
But as the Spirit of God would move on you tonight, just go ahead and make that step into that real channel that God has for you. And I keep hearing Him say to me now, “Into the new, into the new, into the new, into the new, into the new.” And the Lord is giving me that Scripture again where He says… In Hebrew He says, “He must abolish the old,” in Hebrew it says, “He must abolish the old, that He might establish the new.”
And “abolish” means not to do away with, like what a lot of people think, but to abolish means to finish. In the original, to finish. So that gives it a different meaning. You know, a lot of people are offended by that, but I can’t help what the Bible said. The Bible said, “Behold, I will spring forth speedily and do a new thing.” That’s what God’s Word said. But some people have a problem with that, you know, “Oh, God doesn’t do anything new.”
But you have to understand the meaning of that word “abolish” in Hebrew. It doesn’t say that in English. You look it up in Hebrew. It gives you the “abolish,” and that means fulfilling the old, so that the new might be established. I believe if God has ever done anything, He’s fulfilled the old promises. I believe He’s fulfilled the old words to us.
And I believe God by the Holy Spirit wants to give us a shove tonight, just right middle of the back. Just let the hand of God catch you right about the middle of the back and give you one big shove into what God has for you. And quit stretching yourself and then pulling back. Could we just believe God to open up something for us tonight, that we might just step right into it? Hallelujah.
Cutting Away the Excess
April 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Words given by Isabel Weems
A surger not only finishes the seams, but it cuts away the excess as it goes, so everything that’s not needed is just laid aside.
Finishing Edges
April 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain
As we were dancing (I think it’s when it was), I saw a surger, a machine, a sewing, type of sewing machine. And I asked Sister Joyce what it meant. She says it finishes seams, finishes edges. And I…
Oh, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Somebody else?

Called to Praisers
Prophecy Given through Joyce Greeley
Have I not called you as Judah to be My praisers? But was it not also Judah who stood before the ruler to make intercession for his younger brother, for his deliverance when Benjamin had been accused?
So call I you, when the accuser of the brethren attacks your younger or your weaker brother, to stand before the ruler to make intercession.
May 7, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Morning Sacrifice
Prophetic Word given by Jonathan Hollis
I can feel the morning sacrifice Brother Shelley’s been speaking on for the last few services. The incense of our worship as it rises before the Lord. It comes up before Him as a sweet savor. Hallelujah
May 14, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Ministering to Dignitaries
Dream given to Jeffier Propst
Right before I woke up this morning I had a dream. And I was dreaming, and I seen Brother Shelley, and he was so tired in body. And then I seen the people start lining up. And he was standing before not just people like you and me, but God was bringing dignitaries to him. He was ministering to the hurts in their lives. (Tongues)
And as he started ministering, the strength just come into his body. (Tongues)
May 14, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
The Lifeline
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While I was in the Spirit tonight, I saw a lifeline stretched across the Atlantic Ocean. And I knew that it was from the meetings that are going on there. And I knew that it was reaching to this place, from this place, there. And I saw two sisters who were in this service tonight who were standing there close to where…
It was like a plug that you plug into an appliance, you know, like a hotplate or like an electric griddle or something, you know, where you have to unplug it before you put it in the water. You understand? That big kind of plug like that.
And that plug was bolted into the side of the church in this vision. And there were two sisters standing very, very attentive near that plug. And I could see the rest of the people were positioned along that line, that cord, power cord.
But in the Spirit, I knew it was more than a power cord; it was a lifeline. And there were two sisters standing right close to where it connected to the building. And then I saw brothers and sisters holding the cord as it moved away from the building.
And in this vision, I asked those sisters, “Why are you all standing so close, worrying over that plug?” And one of the sisters said, “We’ve been chosen of the Lord to make sure it doesn’t come unplugged, to make sure that it stays plugged.”
So I just believe that that lifeline that the Holy Ghost has put in tonight, that all of you will… Let’s just do it that way. …that all of you will make sure it stays plugged. How will it stay plugged in? By prayer and by praise and by intercession and by believing God.
Everyone can’t go, but I believe the Lord was revealing to me, you’ve got a purpose if you stay behind, and that’s to make sure that the prayers are going forth and the lifeline is plugged in.
May 14, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
A Dark Cloud
Vision given to Daniel Skipworth
As we was praying for Brother Shelley, I saw the map of Europe. And I saw a black cloud that like completely covered. I saw, it was like everyone that’s going on this trip, in like the shape of a sword, like the tip of a sword. And it was like we were getting dull trying to break through. But then I remembered Who was holding the sword. And it’s like the sword pierced the darkness and a light shown through.
A Mighty Army
May 16, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jan Salvador
It’s only when my heart starts beating that I know I have to stand up and say, we don’t always understand what we see or what we hear. But in the Spirit, when we were standing over there worshiping the Lord tonight, it was like a mighty army, a mighty Calvary came in from this side and just raced through this church to this side. I just want to thank and praise the Lord for it.
May 16, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Mighty Cavalry
Exhortation given by Jan Salvador
It’s only when my heart starts beating that I know I have to stand up and say, we don’t always understand what we see or what we hear. But in the Spirit when we were standing over there worshiping the Lord tonight, it was like a mighty army, a mighty cavalry came in from this side and just raced through this church to this side.
I just want to thank and praise the Lord for it.
May 16, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
God Moving in One Another
Word of the Lord given through Joyce Greeley
And then the other thing I wanted to say… If you all remember, a few weeks ago when Brother Jonathan was singing about dancing in the streets of Jerusalem, and I had started to tell a part of what the Lord had spoken to me, and I didn’t finish telling because I had forgotten.
And I did get to finish telling it to Brother Shelley. And I want to tell it too tonight, because it ties in with one of the prayer requests as he said the one person has said, “Oh, what we need is to see souls saved.”
And Brother Shelley was saying, “Well, what we need is to see the church right.” But we had talked about how that Jerusalem is us. We are Jerusalem, the new Jerusalem. And the Lord had brought to my mind the Scripture that said, “Ye shall have power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth.”
And what the Lord spoke to me is that Jerusalem is still first. But it’s not just that city in Israel that He’s speaking about. But the first place that we’ll be witnesses to Him is right in His Body of believers. And I believe that applies absolutely for England and for us here and all over the world.
We’re going to see God moving in each other before we start seeing the whole world come in. And I know that’s where it’s going to start. It’s going to start right in Jerusalem and end up in the uttermost parts of the world.
May 19, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Prophecy given through Jonathan Hollis | Stevenage, England
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night. As you’ve come into this place, saith the Lord. Many came to receive this night from Me. And yea, as you would come into My Presence, saith God, I will shower many great things upon you.
For do you not know that it is in this hour that I’m calling My people to be priests before Me. Yea, as I call them priests, the Levites, yea, into the Holy of Holies, yea, I call My people even this day. Come and stand before Me and stand in My Glory. And offer praise and worship unto me, saith God.
Yea, lift up your praise and worship. Yea, let it be a high praise. Let a high praise be in thy mouth. For yea, as your praise go up, so shall I send down great things from the heavens.
Yea, My Glory shall fall upon thee and consume thee. Even as a fire shall it consume thy life, and thy soul and thy being, saith the Lord. And many shall know when they see you that I am upon you, saith God.
That it is My Glory that they see and not yourself. Yea, it is Me that they see, saith the Lord. Be not afraid to come into My Presence. Be not afraid, saith the Lord. For as you come, yea, I will meet thee, saith the Most High.
Come Unto Me & Live
May 20, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis (Stevenage, England)
“Be still and know that I am God and I am walking in the midst of thee this night,” saith the Lord. “Do you not know that I see your need?” saith God. I see every need you’ve come before me with.
And, yea saith God, I am here to meet that need. Bring your need to me. Do not trust another, saith the Lord. Do not trust man. For, yea, man will fail thee. He will let you down, but if you will trust Me, saith God, I’ll meet your need.
For, yea, I see the hurt and I see the pain in your life. Yea I see the darkness that you’ve walked in for many years, saith the Lord. Yea, the pain that your life has brought you, but I will bring you out if you’ll come unto Me, saith the Lord.
Come unto Me and live. For, yea, I am Light, and if you get into the river, yea, the river that I’ve sent from My throne. It is life abundant life in Me, saith the Lord. Hallelujah…
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Small, Powerful Rocket
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But as I was in the shower the Lord gave me this vision. And I saw a rocket being rolled down to the launching pad. Of course, I didn’t know, I really didn’t know that that was the same day that they were launching. What was it? The shuttle or the rocket, or whatever. I didn’t know that. And God knows I didn’t know it.
But I saw a rocket being rolled out to the launching pad. And it was not as tall as some of these big rockets that I’ve seen in the news. But it was relatively short and bigger around than normal. And I wondered at what I was seeing. This odd shaped rocket.
And the voice of the Lord spoke to me and said, “It is small, but it very powerful.”
And as I pondered on it, I didn’t get an understanding. The Lord brought it to my mind as I was praying for one Sister Sharon, that was really delivered and touched and helped and encouraged. But the next day I was praying and the Lord said, ‘That’s the ministry that I’ve given you. And that’s what’s being accomplished.”
It’s just a handful of people, just a small thing. But because I’m with you, it’s very powerful. And even though you don’t see all the things that I’m accomplishing through the Word, I’m doing it. Hallelujah.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Peter McFarland
The Lord spoke when we were in England and He said not to despise the little things. And it’s really burning on my heart. And I believe that there’s so many little things that we don’t recognize, but the Lord is just moving. And a lot of little things add up to a big thing.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Starfish
Exhortation given by Brother Shelley
I told the church that night, “It’s like the starfish.” You know, God gave the starfish the ability to replace that broken leg. And I just saw something like… It come to me like regeneration was taking place. I don’t know the scientific word for what happens when those cells start moving together and reforming. And even if it was that, that would be in a living organism. And a wheel is not a living organism, but it represents the church in that area of Stevenage. And I saw those three missing and broken spokes, but I saw them being regenerated and renewed and growing until they reached out to the rim of that wheel again.
And as we were singing, “Bind us together,” it just came to me, maybe… Not maybe, but surely there are missing spokes from the wheel right here. Amen? And I just believe that God… And not only missing ones, but broken ones. And I just feel for you to take hands and join faith with somebody next to you, and let’s release restoration, and let’s release a renewing and a regeneration so that God will just quickly cause those spokes to be where they’re supposed to be, those that are broken to be mended, and those that are missing to be replaced. Would you just lift your voice right now and pray with me?
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Exhortation given by Isabel Weems
You’re going to have to help me a little with this. But my mind is going back to the vision your granny had of a wheel, and Jesus was in the center. And in that she said, about going out the edges, and then she said God was going to send you misfits and castaways, and they were going to stand with you. And that’s the ones that He is using for what we’re speaking of.
_ Brother Shelley: _
Amen, amen. The vision was of a wheel, and at the hub of the wheel was the Anointing. It was Jesus. And she was carried out on each of the spokes of the wheel, and she saw the suffering of the world and the sin of the world and the evil of the world. But God kept bringing her back to the center and showing her the Anointing and the work that needed to be done to reach those kinds of people.And the Lord spoke to her and she gave me the word, not too long before her death.
She said that God would send as Sister Weems has said, like misfits, or castaways, or people that didn’t feel like they fit, like Brother Heisey was talking, square pegs that people have tried to hammer them into round holes, and they’re square pegs, you know, that kind of thing, oddballs, as Brother Branham called it, and that it was going to be that kind of people that God anointed in the last days to take that Anointing out those spokes of the wheel to the needy and the hurting and the oppressed of the world. So I appreciate us being reminded of that this evening.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Opportunites
Exhortation given by John Heisey
Brother Shelley, you weren’t boasting one bit on that prophecy. I felt that like that for many years, and I think there’s a lot of us feeling this sitting here tonight that never fit in anywhere, kept moving us. I got many years behind me, thirty years, thirty-five years.
The Lord just kept moving me, moving me. I had opportunities to belong to the Full Gospel Businessmen and all those things, and I’ve never fit. It never worked. But that prophecy I accept for myself tonight, Brother Shelley, and I hope there’s many more that could take that and apply to where are tonight, because it’ll make it a lot easier for us when we accept that God is doing it and it’s not us any more, but it’s God doing it. Thus saith the Lord.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Wheel Within the Wheel
Exhortation given by John Heisey
When Brother Shelley said about the wheel as we were praising the Lord, it took me back. When I was a little fellow we had those things that you push up and down. And it looks like two…
It’s a wheel and a wheel in a wheel. And as you spin it, it becomes one. And the Lord would let me know that with our praise and worship the wheel in the center of the wheel is pulsating; it’s growing. And it’s going to move out through that spokes, and it’s going to pick up the Bride in the end of those spokes. And we will all become one. And that’ll be the super Anointing that the Lord’s going to bring to us.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Exhortation given by Peter Mcfarland
This may sound kind of different, but it’s burning in my heart where the Lord had said to go and borrow vessels; get as many vessels as you can. And I was just thinking earlier, “Well, what could I do,” you know.
And I thought, “Well, what if you was just to go and open up twenty bank accounts and just put a dollar in each one and just wait for the Lord to fill them up. He’s able. And you say, “It sounds a little funny.”
But I don’t put nothing past what the Lord’s able to do. And I just love Him tonight.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Palm Branches
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Some time ago I was waiting on the Lord, and I began to see a great band of worshipers standing in the Presence of the Lord. And they were waving beautiful, long palm branches.
This was after Palm Sunday. And they were waving these long palm branches before the Lord, just waving them back. And it made such a beautiful pattern as these palm branches would criss-cross one another, as they were being waved back and forth before the Lord. And I just enjoyed the vision of seeing it. And it must be like a glimpse of what Heaven is.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Purposes of the Lord Being Revealed
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And that same morning, that same morning the Lord spoke these words. He said to me very clearly. He said, “The purposes of the Lord are about to be revealed.” The purposes of the Lord are about to be revealed.
I believe God’s got a purpose in my life and a purpose in your life, and a purpose in this church and in our families, and in the ministry. And I believe God’s getting ready to reveal those purposes. Hallelujah.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
The Wheel Within the Wheel
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see in the Spirit tonight a wheel within a wheel. And I see that it’s been moving at a fairly nice pace. But I see the wheel in the center beginning to accelerate and move faster than the wheel on the outside. And as it speeds up, swiftly turning, turning, turning, I can see the wheel on the outside beginning to catch up.
We know that the wheel in the middle of the wheel is Jesus. It was a revelation of His last day ministry. And that outer wheel represents the Bride church. And I can see that inner wheel beginning to accelerate, is the word the Lord is giving me. And I see the outer wheel catching up. Hallelujah.
And the Lord would have me to declare tonight the acceleration of the purposes of God and the expediency (hallelujah), the expediency of the fulfillment of all that He has sowed into our spirits, the nearness of time. Hallelujah.
And the Lord said for me to tell you that that He is about to do in your life and among us is going to be so that you might know, as the prophet of the Old Testament said…
I believe it was Isaiah said, “That you might know the end from the beginning.” Hallelujah. The Lord said, “I’m to begin to accelerate My purposes among you, and My plan and My will is about to be expedited among you.” (That’s the word I was needing from the Lord.)
And as it happens, you’re going to know the end from the beginning. And that explains the word that God was giving us, “Revelation, revelation.” We need that revelation so that we might be able to know the end from the beginning. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
And the Lord said, “I will reveal to you a heart of discerning, so that you might be able to discern that which is good and that which is evil, so that you might be able to discern your will from My will, your intention from My intention, and My desire from your desire.
If you will continue to worship Me and move in deeper things, then I’ll pour out unto you the… Glories, greater than you’ve ever known before. And as I pour out my greater Glory, you shall know My will. It shall be revealed unto you, saith the Lord.
Hallelujah. I can still, even as I speak to you, I can still see that wheel churning, turning, turning, turning, inside of the wheel. Hallelujah.
Would you just lift your hand to the Lord and say, “Lord, expedite me. Speed me up, Lord”? Hallelujah. “Let me be faster in my understanding, quicker in my obedience.” Hallelujah.
And it also speaks about the divine synchronization, that harmony, that unity that the prophet spoke about, between the Bride and the Bridegroom, divine order, and divine synchronization, so that when He moves, you move, so that when He speaks you speak (hallelujah), so that when He goes you go; when He stops you stop. That’s what I want, Lord. That’s what I want, Jesus. (Tongues)
Oh, hallelujah. Glory.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Daniel Skipworth
As I was standing there, I saw something in the Spirit. It reminded me on how we read about the prophet Elijah, and his servant went upon the mountain and saw a cloud about the size of a man’s fist.
And I saw a cloud coming toward us, and it wasn’t very big. But the Lord said that it was answers to every question that we had. He said we were facing a lot of decisions and a lot of questions were hanging heavy on us. But he said there was a cloud of answers that was coming our way.
May 28, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Jonathan Hollis
When we were singing the chorus, “You deserve the glory,” I saw a vision of an axle. And it was very rusted, and it couldn’t move. But I began to intercede, and I began to ask the Lord to put grease or whatever it needed to make the wheel move. And I believe that’s what Brother Shelley was seeing. The wheel was moving.
May 30, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Closing of the Breach
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see it tonight in the Spirit. I hope you can receive from a tired man. But I see it tonight in the Spirit and its holes in the armor. And when holes in the armor, then there are those areas of vulnerability that the… And he’s slick. We’ve given him too much press tonight already. But he’s slick, and he doesn’t go and hammer on you where you’ve got the armor, does he? He finds that hole, that weakness, that breach, that break of protection. And he gets right down into what really irks you, you know, where your weakness is.
I want us… I tell you, I feel God. I want us to believe right now for the closing up of the breach and for the sealing of the armor of God over this fellowship and this ministry. I want you to believe God that every weakness in the chain and every hole in the armor will be filled in right now so that we’re one mind, one unit, one spirit, moving together to do what God would have us to do. Let’s raise up a prayer covering and a real shield over this ministry, every family. Some are really having seemingly more than their share of sickness and calamity and problems. But let us just raise up a standard right now.
If you’ve done all you can do, if you’ve paid your tithes, if you’ve been faithful to God’s House and to pray and obey the Word and you’re still under great attack, there’s something wrong. And I believe there’s holes in the armor. And let’s receive that from the Lord and do what we can to close them.
Everybody praying together right now.
Heavenly Father, hand in hand the Body is standing in Your Presence tonight, hand in hand, symbolizing the unity that only comes by the Spirit. And Lord, when we get these little things against one another and have these little feelings, we think it doesn’t hinder anybody. We think we’re the only ones that it hinders, Lord, but give us an understanding tonight that it’s a hole in the armor of protection and it’s a hole in the prayer covering of the Body. And we just pray tonight that the Lord will fill in the breaches, that every gap will be mended right now, that every hole in the armor of protection…
Appropriate that Which Comes to you Through the Open Heaven
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
In fact, I hear the Spirit saying, “It’s not enough to stand where the heavens are opened. But you’ve got to learn to appropriate that that comes to you through the opened heaven.”
Breathe on His Spirit
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
As I was praying yesterday morning, I guess I really didn’t know what it was. I heard Brother Shelley say that he was a visionary. And there’s been times I been down to pray, and I see things happen. And I was praying for different people, and I just cried for Brother Shelley quite a bit for the last two days.
And I was reading in John and he said, as He come to the disciples, He breathed on them the Holy Ghost. And I said, “Oh God, that’s what Brother Shelley needs.” He needs to be breathed on, Father. You need to breathe on his mind, God. It’s so fevered, Lord.
Oh Father, breathe on his spirit, Lord Jesus. Oh Father, send Your cooling breezes upon him, Lord. The Lord said He wanted the whole congregation to breathe on him. And let it’s be God’s breath, Father, that blows across him, Lord Jesus. (Tongues)
Everybody, I want you to breathe towards Brother Shelley. (Tongues) Breathe, children, breathe. (Tongues) Oh, my young pastor I pray for thee. Oh God, may the cooling breezes of the Holy Spirit calm you. (Tongues) Can I keep on obeying the Lord?
Driving Your Enemy Far from Thee
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Yea, do you not know that as you dance this night before Me, saith God, even this night I shall defeat your enemy before you. Yea, I shall drive them out before your face, yea, with a strong hand, saith God. I am driving your enemy far from thee, saith the Lord. So rejoice and praise Me, saith God, for My right hand and by My holy arm, I shall and I have overcome the enemy, saith the Lord.
Do Not Fear
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Do not be afraid of their faces, saith the Lord, for I have set My seal upon thee. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, do not fear man. For yea the Lord would say unto thee, I give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom. Yea, I prepare a way before thee even this night.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I shall give thee favor, yea, even with the judges and the magistrates. Yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, I shall give My people favor, even with those in government and leadership and authority.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, the time shall surely come that they shall come and enquire of thee, saith the Lord. For they shall know, saith God, that I have found a place that I might speak unto My people. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, no matter what comes, saith the Lord, trust in Me, and do not fear the faces of man.
For yea, I the Lord thy God am able to even cause thy enemies to be at peace with thee, saith the Lord. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, press on. Press on with new courage.
Do not fear, neither be thou dismayed, for it is the desire of the Lord to give unto thee the Kingdom. Yea, I desire to deliver it unto thee this night, if you would continue to walk in My Spirit, saith the Lord. Yea, I delight this evening in your praise. And yea, you have made Me a throne that I might come and sit upon thee this night.
And yea the Lord would say unto thee, do not fear what you’ll say, for I the Lord thy God shall give thee the words, even as I have spoken in My Word. I shall give you the words that you should say.
Do not be afraid of the hardness of their heart, nor, saith the Lord, when they have set their face against thee as an adamant stone. Do not be afraid, but trust in Me, for I shall soften them, saith the Lord, and they shall melt before thee. For I have anointed thee and I have sealed thee, saith the Lord, with My favor.
A Master Key
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Al Schmitz
The Holy Spirit revealed to me, or was put in my spirit that in the natural there’s a key for everything. Every natural thing in this world, there’s a… Every lock and every house, and everybody’s got a key for this, for that. But we don’t have to worry, because God’s got a master key for every one of us.
Storm the Gates
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Carmen Lanier
I keep feeling like there has to be something happen. And as Sister Propst was moving, it was like there was such an urgency to move. But I keep hearing the words in my spirit that Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
And then the words keep coming to my spirit, “Storm the gates. Storm the gates.” If there are gates in your way, the Lord is saying to storm the gates. This is a night for a Body of people to come together and to storm the gates. They shall not prevail.
Brother Shelley:
There’s at least a half a dozen other people that are getting words right now. I just feel that river flowing, and I don’t care what the devil thinks about it. I’m sick and tired of hearing what the devil thinks about it. If after all these years you’re so steeped in religion that you can’t flow in the Spirit, just sit back and watch us flow. [Unclear audio]
Possess the Enemy’s Gate
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Carmen Lanier
As Brother Shelley spoke this morning, on the fact that if we understand, as Brother Al said, that that key is the same key, if we understand that that key not only fits the heavy locks, but we begin to recognize that it fits every key, and we’ll begin to appropriate, we would also able to lock the enemy’s gate, not just to unlock ourselves, but it would be like a mad frenzy once we realize that that key will fit a lock. We will begin to go quickly, so that we will begin to possess the enemy’s gate.
The Bride Will Have the Keys to the Kingdom
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
About ten seconds before Brother Jonathan started singing that chorus, “The keys of the kingdom,” The words went through my spirit, “It is My intention for My Bride to have the keys of the Kingdom.”
Possession by Your Footsteps
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Greeley
For every footstep you took just then in that dance of victory, it was possession. For every footstep you took, it’s possession. Hallelujah.
Dance of Victory
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
For all that were ministered tonight by Sister Propst, the Lord kept telling me to tell them to dance a violent dance of victory.
Children’s Revival
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Joyce Greeley
A long time ago on a Sunday morning I gave a word that the Lord was going to give us a children’s revival in this place. And this morning during the service I really felt that we ought to anoint all the children.
And it’s never seemed like the time or the place or a way that we would do it right, but I believe that this would be the atmosphere to anoint the young children, that they would prepare their hearts for the revival to flow forth from them.
The Oil Anoints the Lock
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Megan Keno
Before you all went to Africa, the Lord showed me that the burden of the cages that the prophecy was that they would be unlocked. Well, what the Lord showed me was that if you have a key, sometimes the key won’t work because the lock has rusted, and the things are rusted so it won’t open.
But it’s the Anointing, it’s that oil that anoints that lock, so that the key will turn and oils the hinges, so it will open up. And I thank Him that if we stay in that Anointing, all cages, nothing can be hindered.
Keys of Deliverance
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Ruth Ann Heisey
As Sister Propst was praying for the other brothers, I felt too that every sister ought to lay her hands on their husbands and really cry out to God for our husbands, that they would go forth in their power and in the places that God has for them. We know it’s all there, and we just long to see it come forth.
So I’d just love to see every wife and husband just line up out front here somehow, or however, and just wives just lay their hands and anoint their husbands and pray for them, as the bride gives it… I don’t know how to explain it exactly, but… Keys of deliverance…
Brother Jonathan:
We obey the Spirit…
Handed a Check
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Ann Tremain
This is a very bold thing and it’s kind of scary, Brother Shelley. But I saw that man hand you a check. (Brother Cohen, is that his name?) I just, I didn’t mean to say it in public, but I just felt it. So there it is.
The Keys for the Answers
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given by Brother Greeley
I am seeing a, what looks to be a safe. But it’s one that requires not only a key, but a combination. Times these things look kind of complicated. But when there are people that hold the key and the combination, they’re granted access. Sometimes it’s more than one person in order to gain access.
Don’t know anything about a bank, but that’s the kind of safe that I’m seeing, perhaps a gate with a key and then a vault with a combination. I don’t know if one person possesses both, or if it’s something that two people have to get into, or more. The Lord is dealing with me about even answer keys, so many different keys.
But when people have the access for answers, they have the keys for answers, they have the keys to get into a safe, there’s sometimes more than one person possesses access, to arrive to the possession. Don’t even know if I’m making any sense.
But even in a service like this when God deals, sometimes more than one person has a key to a service, to bring about the results that God’s desiring to manifest. It takes both to bring about the full results.
Gates Lifting in the Spiritual
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
While Sister Carmen was speaking that, I began to see. And we saw when we were touring London, we saw the big gates of the tower of London that they let down when they didn’t want the enemy to come in.
And I see big gates like that tonight being unlocked. And I see the gates beginning to roll up in the Spirit, oh, as the gates would lift. And they’re our gates. We’re going to possess those gates. We’re going to possess those cities in the Spirit, cities that have been closed for centuries to this place; China is one of those places; Russia is one of those places, places that have been closed to many people.
Even in the Spirit… I know many of them are unlocked now in the natural, but in the spiritual God is lifting those gates up in the Spirit. And we’re going to possess those as a church, as a Body of Christ.
Binding Up Every Wound
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I don’t want to take more than my time, but I keep seeing… And it’s repeated before me at least three times. I keep seeing the binding of a wound. And I see salve being applied. It’s a thick, yellowish color salve, heavy, heavy salve. And I know in the Spirit it’s like the balm of Gilead. And it’s being applied. And the cut is very deep. The wound is very deep, and it’s like a puncture. And I see the salve being applied. And I see hands pushing the wound together, so that as the bandage is stretched, it’s holding the punctured hole.
I believe the Lord desires tonight to bind up every wound, and to apply that balm, that healing salve of Gilead. And I believe there’s probably not one person here that is an exception. I believe we all need something healed. We all need a healing of some kind or another. So can we claim that while others come to obey the Lord? I just had to share it.
Chains of Tradition Being Unlocked
June 4, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
While we’re singing it, I’m still seeing those keys. And I don’t see one person with the key in their hand, but I see a lot of people walking down, unlocking cages and unlocking jail doors. I see a lot of deliverance taking place.
But I don’t believe it’s going to be taking place in the future. I believe it’s taking place tonight in the Spirit as we’re singing, as prophetic intercession is going forth from this place. Jails and chains that have bound people for many years, religious chains, chains of tradition are being unlocked.
Something Growing in Our Womb
June 6, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Don’t ask me who. Don’t come to me and ask me who, because as far as I know this isn’t likely in the natural. And I don’t even believe it was natural. But as we were praising and worshiping the Lord and the sisters were moving up and down that aisle, I saw one of the sisters in the Spirit with both of her hands over her womb, and her belly was swollen with child.
And I don’t believe that’s in the natural going to happen. But in the spiritual I felt faith leap in me. Because I’ve preached all over the world until some of you that’s been with me could memorize my sermon on what’s growing in your womb. And I’m trusting and praying, because the witness in my spirit was, it was Jesus growing there. That’s what I’m claiming. I’m hoping that it’s not something deformed, but that it’s Jesus’ life.
Call to Arms
June 11, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
And I heard the Spirit… You might be interested to know, while we were worshiping the Lord this morning, I heard the Spirit say, “This is My call to arms.” And I thought, “My, that’s a beautiful word from the Lord,” and I just kept praising Him. And I heard it ring clear in my spirit again, “This is My call to arms.”
I don’t believe the Spirit was speaking about that kind of arms. I don’t believe He was speaking about protecting our amendment rights to bear arms. I believe he was talking about battling in the Spirit. And I believe He said, “This is my call to arms. Take up your weapons and prepare for a fight.
Now I believe the Spirit was speaking about many things, but one of the things that came in my heart was for little Casey Hannah, that we would really raise up a standard in the Name of Jesus Christ and plead the blood of the Lord over her until every… In fact, as I was feeling that and meditating on that, I could sense even in my spirit a retreat.
And I knew that if that was the case, that leukemia cells, they have to withdraw; they have to draw back; they have to retreat from the Power and the healing virtue of Jesus Christ. No cell, no deformity, no disease, no bacteria, not even cancer can stand in the way of the purifying and healing, cleansing Blood of Jesus. Amen.
And although they’ve placed many blood transfusions in her body, just one touch of the Blood of Jesus Christ… May God give her a royal blood transfusion this morning. Hallelujah. Glory be to God. Let’s speak a word of faith for her right now.
We release our faith to You, and we take up our spiritual weapons against that devil. We take up our spiritual weapons against that disease in the Name of Jesus. You’re a trespasser, and we command you to take your hands off of that child of promise.
You have no authority over her, and we command you to retreat. Let it be a witness to the doctors. Let her raise up right now in the strength of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Oh, praise the Lord. “This is my call to arms.” And I believe He’s speaking about other things, taking up those spiritual weapons. There’s greater power this morning in the Blood of Jesus.
Be My First Love
June 13, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother David Omilian
Be my first love; be my first love. And fill me with Your Presence as I sing. Be my first love; be my first love. And fill me with Your Presence as I sing… The Lord gave me this song just a moment ago. I think that means it’s for us. Let’s lift up our voice and ask the Lord to be our first love.
A New Beginning
June 15, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley | Edmonton, Alberta
I know that has witnessed to some of you. Perhaps not all of you, but some of you have received the witness of the Spirit to confirm that God is truly speaking to many of you this evening concerning the greater glory that is to come. I just want to speak to you that there is coming a new beginning for some of you.
And the Lord is speaking to me even now about false starts, about how some of you have started out to do that which was right, and your feet have become entangled and you have fallen by the way. And it condemns you because you’ve made such big mistakes.
But the Lord would have me to say to you, He is opening the door for new beginnings in your life, and He’s not going to hold those past mistakes against you any longer, those false starts. Those times that you started out, but something held you back from walking the way your wanted to walk.
And the Lord is going to give you new paths for your spiritual feet to walk in. And you don’t have to live in the condemnation of the past. Oh hallelujah. For he whom the Son hath set free, is free indeed. If there be a spiritual minded people here tonight, would you just thank God for what He’s speaking and for what He’s about to do? Let the anointing of the Lord just confirm His Word to you.
With New Courage
June 15, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Edmonton, Alberta
I saw a group of people together and they seemed to be laying around, bound with heavy chains. And they were struggling very fiercely to break free. And I saw that these chains had become very, very rusty. Very rusty. And the Spirit of the Lord spoke into my spirit and said, “It’s because they’re bound with very old chains. These aren’t new chains. These are chains that have been binding the people for a long time.” Rusty chains.
But don’t forget. If a lot of rust is there, then corrosion is working too, you know. They won’t always be as strong as they used to be. And every time… These people just kind of chained. Not together, but chained. And every time one of them would try to raise up… I saw what looked like two or three different wardens, you know. In a prison is how I saw it.
And every time one of these people would raise up above the others and try to free himself, there was always one of several wardens that would strike them down with an heavy iron rod. And I also saw in the distance, just a little ways, a very few had been able to escape the rest of the crowd, but their ankles and their wrists were still chained together.
But they had wonderful smiles on their faces. And I said to myself, “How could these people be so happy? Their ankles are still bound and their wrists are still bound. How can they be so happy?” But I realized it was because they were able to escape the fierceness of the rod. (You see; the devil doesn’t like this. That’s why I decided to share it now, so you can distribute it.)
And I saw the Spirit of God began to fall on these that had escaped. And as the power of God began to come on them, their ankles and their wrists were loosed and they began to dance around, rejoicing, as the Spirit of God began to move on them from one to the other. I could see the Spirit moving like electric current, moving upon one and then from that one to another one. And from that one to another one. I could see it moving about that little group that had broken free.
And as they were dancing rejoicing, the Spirit began to move from one to the other. I saw it beginning slowly, slowly. And then increasing. It started very slight and then it began to grow more powerful upon those that were left behind in this gloomy prison. And with new courage, (listen) with new courage, others that had been left behind began to escape from the heavy iron bar that had been holding them in place.
And I wrote here, “With new courage others began to escape the careful eye of the warden, and run quickly to join the others in a great time of rejoicing. And their chains began to break loose and they were free.” I believe that is the Word of the Lord for you who are gathered here tonight. I believe God’s got something great. Would you just lift your hands?
Final Call to the City of Edmonton
June 17, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis | Edmonton, Alberta
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, “Do you not know that there have been great warlords of the underworld who have held this city bound too long?” saith the Lord. “Yea, many people have been held captive by his mighty power.”
“But yea, this night,” saith the Lord, “I will set free many. And yea, you shall see in the near future a great exodus from the prison houses. For yea, I shall send a great quaking to this city. And yea, I shall shake once again the prison houses that have held captive too long. Yea, watch and see if I do not keep My Word.
For yea, I am the living God, and as I have spoken it, so you shall see it before your eyes. But yea, this is My final call, My final call to this city,” saith the Lord. “And yea, those who come, weep. Weep for mercy. Yea, weep, and travail for mercy.
For yea, I shall deliver from the oppressor and you shall see My mighty hand. Yea, ye shall My strong arm of deliverance, saith the Lord. Watch and see, for it is thus saith the Lord.” Hallelujah.
As I’m standing here, I can see people being loosed from the hand of the dragon. Last year, as when we were in this city in November, I saw a dragon’s foot sitting right on top of this city. I could see the light of Edmonton, and I saw right on top of it this claw, and it was from a dragon.
When we returned home, a sister got on the Internet. And the very same night I saw the vision, another man of God in another part of the world that we knew nothing of, saw the same vision. This night as I stand here, I’m seeing souls being loosed from the hand of the dragon. They’re going free. They’re escaping.
Miracles
June 17, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Greeley | Edmonton, Alberta
As we stand in His Presence, I sense miracles of deliverance. Miracles of healing. Miracles over [Unclear audio] Overcoming power. Hallelujah.
Set the Captive Free
June 17, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Message in Tongues & Interpretation given through Sister Anna Jones | Edmonton, Alberta
Oh hear, My children. I am pleased with Your worship. And I have spoken this night through the lips of My servants. This is the truth. I will set the captives free. I will do that what I have spoken. You will see it what I have spoken is Thus saith the Lord.
There are several of you here who need to be set free. If you’ll yield to Me, I’ll baptize you with the Holy Ghost and Fire. I will do that. I brought you together to set you free. Yield to Me, My children. Worship Me… I will do it. I will do it.
Hood of An Executioner
June 17, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Edmonton, Alberta
Even the Lord seemingly corrected Brother Branham just a little bit when he tried to explain the Third Pull. And I think we make a mistake when we try to explain everything that God does. He is not a natural God, but a supernatural God.
But when Brother Jonathan was speaking, I saw a vision of that myself. I thought I would just keep it to myself, but the Lord kept pressing me. And I saw two spirits, and they were very strong spirits. And they had on the hood of an executioner.
And the Lord said, “these are the spirits that bind the ministry, preachers of this city.” And He spoke to our heart, said that one of those spirits is lust, and the other spirit is greed. And again, I know that… But I believe there are enough people here who can….
Lord Jesus, and the power of God, that we could bind those spirits tonight, because the Bride of Christ is oppressed. To be honest with you, I, what happens to preachers is not my concern, but I do care what will happen to the Bride. I just…. I feel so terrible to speak that out.
I just wish that… We could agree together. Even if you don’t understand, just try your best to … …God… And I’m not saying, every man. I don’t know that. I just know one thing.
Could we just believe the Word, to break those strong spirits that live here in this city.
Let’s just look to…
…I saw the hoods just being ripped off. I saw the faces. And I know the Lord hasn’t made a mistake. I [Ed., Unclear Audio] it’s the truth. …I don’t believe that the spirit of lust and greed should lord over the people of God.
Don’t blame anybody, just pull it all on me. Don’t go out of here and say, “Brother Wayne said it. Brother… said it. Put it all on me. I don’t care. I know the Lord is ready to do something.
Come Unto Me
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Ann Tremain
Your stubborn will, that spirit of witchcraft stays over you, holds you back. Do you not know I have carried you this far? Do you not know that I am with you? Do you not know that you can cry out to Me? I will hear you. I will even carry you when you cannot walk.
But that desire that fills your heart that you will not come forth with that freedom, you can; you can if you will. Now is the time. Today is the day that you give forth that will of your body, your heart, your life, your mind.
Give it to Me. I can help you. I can help you more than people can help you if you will just trust Me. You must trust Me. Come. Come unto Me. Come unto Me. I will give you rest. I will give you rest. I will quiet that mind. I will quiet those thoughts if you will just come to Me.
Do not deny what can be done for you. Do not deny this love that is coming for you. Do not deny it. That stubbornness, that stubbornness will die away. Don’t let it steal that joy that is waiting right there. In the Name of Jesus.
Praise Me with a New Praise
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother David Omilian
I am sending a new day unto you, saith the Lord. I am sending a new day when you shall laugh and praise Me for joy. You shall no longer weep and mourn, but you shall praise Me; from the depths of your heart, you shall praise Me. A love for Me will grow within you. You shall grow in love for Me as you never have before.
The joy of the Lord will be your strength. You shall praise Me with a new praise. You shall dance before Me with a new dance, and ye shall sing before Me with a new song. Behold, behold, a new day is coming, saith the Lord. A new day of praise will come before you when My Bride will praise Me, and it will touch My heart.
My Bride will become strong because she is praising Me. My Bride will praise Me in a new way that she never has before, saith the Lord. Behold, your praise will rise up and be My joy. And behold, the joy of the Lord will be your strength. And My Bride shall be strong and do exploits on the earth, saith the Lord. My Bride shall be strong and do exploits.
Behold, praise Me. Praise Me, and the joy of the Lord shall be your strength. Lift up your praise, and I will delight in it. I will find joy in it, and I will give you strength. And you will find strength to go into the deeper depths. You will find strength to leave the bank and go into the depths of the River, saith the Lord.
Praise Me; praise Me with a new praise. Praise Me with more than you’ve ever praised Me before. Give Me more of your time, saith the Lord. Give Me more of your time at home. Give Me more of your spare time. Seek My face more often. Meet with Me more in the secret place. It’s in the secret place that I will give to you that which you need for the journey ahead. Seek Me, My Bride, and I will be found.
Press In
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
For the Lord would say, do not be passive. Do not be slack or lazy, sitting around waiting for Me to bring My promises to pass. But step in, saith the Lord. Press in, press in, press in. Press toward that promise that I have made you. Press in toward what I have spoken to you.
Because when you step in and you press toward what I have spoken, you will begin to see little bits and little pieces starting to fall into place. And then the bigger picture will begin to form, just as a puzzle would come together, and one piece adds to one piece, and another piece adds to that, and pretty soon there’s a big picture.
So press in, saith the Lord, that you may be able to see the big picture coming to pass. When you see little bits, you praise Me for what I am doing, and then you will see the big picture coming into play, and you will see My promises coming to maturity. For it is thus saith the Lord.
Open Your Ears & Hear Me
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
To those who will open their ears this night, saith the Lord, I will speak secrets. Yea, I will speak mysteries unto My Bride, saith the Lord. For you are Mine. You are My chosen. Open your ears and hear Me, saith God.
For yea, it is not a new thing that I speak unto thee, but it is a thing I have spoke of old, saith the Lord. Yea, it is My love for thee. Yea, as I prepare My Bride, yea, I prepare her. And yea, I shall tell her of things that are to come. I shall tell her of things that are to be, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall reveal to her the things that she will need, yea, to make the Rapture of the Bride.
For yea, even this night, open your ears, and I shall speak clearly in your ear. For yea, I shall not only speak through a man, but I shall speak to you personally, saith the Lord. Open your heart and know that I am God, and I am in your midst. I am in thy midst this night, and I shall speak, saith the Lord.
Close to the Edge
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Daniel Skipworth
If you’re here tonight… I know this is not the way the service was planned to go, but this is what I feel led to do. If you feel like you’re on that edge, if you’re hanging by that thread… I see not one no more, but I see many.
If you want the Lord to restore your hope, just come forward tonight. Just stand here in the front. For in numbers we have strength. Let the Lord restore it to us. Oh Lord, You’re beautiful… If the rest of you would just come forward and stand behind these…
David:
“Oh Lord, You’re beautiful…”
I want each one of us to find someone that’s up here. Pray for them. Don’t hold back. Because you don’t know how close they are to that edge. You don’t know what they’re facing.
Seeking Out His Bride in Edmonton
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Harold Weir
Seems like the Lord has brought back to my memory a dream that I had a long time ago. Louise and I were in a strange city. And we got separated. And I was going up and down the streets and in and out the stores trying so frantically to find her, because she was my bride. She was my wife.
The Lord is going up and down the streets of Edmonton. He’s seeking out His Bride. It has been said this week that this is the last call. But the Lord is searching out His Bride in Edmonton. Oh, how we thank God for that last call. Hallelujah.
Tidal Wave of the Love of God
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Daniel Skipworth
And I know the love of God has been in this Body for a long time, but I see it growing. I see something happening. I don’t know what it is. It’s almost like a waterfall, but it’s not falling down. It’s just going across more like a tidal wave. And I see it sweeping everything in its path, and the land behind it being clear. There’s nothing there between it and what’s above.
Restoring Hope
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given by Brother Daniel Skipworth
As Brother David was standing there, something came to my mind. And my mind was not anywhere near what of I was thinking. But the Lord showed me a certain person that’s here in the service tonight. And I saw…
It was just like they were so happy and so jubilant, but then at the same time, it’s like their face just slowly changed. And it wasn’t a frown; it was just a look of helplessness. And I could see they were on the very edge. And I’ve seen a person before on the very edge. And I know what that’s like. I know the stress and the way the people, I mean, the way a person reacts to a lot of situations. I saw the Lord restore hope. I saw Him put a Fire where there was no Fire.
June 18, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song given to David Omilian
Be my first love; be my first love.
And fill me with Your Presence as I sing.
Be my first love; be my first love.
And fill me with Your Presence as I sing…
The Lord gave me this song just a moment ago. I think that means it’s for us. Let’s lift up our voice and ask the Lord to be our first love. Be my first love…
Sword of Division
June 25, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I was sitting at my desk last night meditating, praying over some things that I felt were urgent and needed prayer. And I saw a sword, it was a dark sword. And I’ve seen swords in the Spirit before, and I usually recognized them as the Sword of the Lord, the Sword of the Spirit, you know, that cutting edge of God, that two-edge Sword of the Word. But last night as I saw this sword, it didn’t look that way. It didn’t look glorious. It didn’t look like God’s sword.
And I knew in my heart… And unless you’ve seen little visions, you won’t understand how you just know without a voice telling you. I just knew that that was a sword of division. And as I reflected back on it this morning, sitting in the same place at my desk, worshiping the Lord, as I reflected back on it, I realized the… I remembered seeing the sharpness of the point.
And it was so evident that this was a sharp sword. Not just some old dull sword, but sharp and to the point, was the way it came to me. And as I saw that sword, I knew it was the sword that had been used to divide people, to divide.
And I saw the Glory of the Lord coming upon that dark sword. It had the appearance of something that had almost been tarnished or burned, so I knew that wasn’t God’s shiny Sword. But I saw the Glory of God coming on that sword, and I saw that, the blade of that sword becoming curved like that.
And the Spirit of God said, “It’s a pruning hook.” And I knew that it had taken the form of the sickle. And the Lord spoke to my heart. I know that was God giving me the revelation that the very sword that the enemy has used to divide this Body, God was going to change it by His Glory and use it for gathering the grain, for reaping the harvest.
And as I saw the shape of that sickle or pruning hook, I also realized it could be used in cutting back the trees. You’ve seen these pruners that are used on long poles, and they have that same sickle shape. And this came to me that this is what I was seeing.
And I know what pruning does for a tree. I preached a message on it one time. I know what pruning does to a tree. It cuts back the dead branches. Not always dead. Sometimes they’re dead. Sometimes they’re just not in the right place. Sometimes they’re a little out of place. Sometimes it’s just causing the tree to flop over, because they’re too long.
And you know, I’m a very pitiful gardener, because I hate to pinch things back and to cut them back. I love to see them grow. And I have refused many times to cut things back, because I loved to see them grow. And realize later, I destroyed the plant, because it grew, but it just grew straight up and hung over. I’ve got a beautiful tree in my den right now that’s got beautiful limbs and leaves on it, but because I wouldn’t trim it at the right time, it looks more like a willow tree than anything else. It’s just… The limbs just kind of droop over.
And as I sat there and looked at it last night, I said, “That’s my fault. I should have been willing to sacrifice a few green leaves so that that tree could become strong.” So I believe that God is going to prune us instead of divide us, allowing us to be divided. I believe He’s going to take that sword of division and us it to prune us, and then of course to gather in the harvest that’s before us.
June 29, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Prophecy given by Brother Shelley
“Wake up!” saith the Lord. Arise from your place of rest. For yea I the Lord thy God doth call unto thee this night. How long simple ones will you love simplicity? Yea the Lord doth say unto thee, I have seen thee, and yea I have called unto thee, and yea I have dealt with thee and drawn thee, saith the Lord; and still you’ll not move. Yea I the Lord thy God do say unto thee, a trumpet is sounding in the midst of thee this night, and it is a wake up call.
Yea I call unto thee, “Wake Up!” saith the Lord, and realize that this is the time. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, for too long you’ve put it off, and you’ve pushed it into the future. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, “Drive the spirit of compromise from your lips, said the Lord, and rebuke the spirit that has come to destroy; and rise up in that calling that I have placed here.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, lean forth, go forth, push forward in the anointing of this hour, and do not lag behind. Yea the Lord would say to thee, I have pushed you and you would not move; and I have drug you and you would not be moved; and yea the Lord doth say unto thee this night, Hear my voice for I will not come and speak again, again, and again.
I am calling unto thee this night with a sound of a trumpet, “Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” saith the Lord. Put off your slackness, yea and all the things that you will allow to come between me and thee, put them aside, said the Lord, or else I will strip them from thee and leave thee naked saith the Lord, and desolate.
Yea the Lord thy God do not speak of the thing this night because I do not love you, or because it’s my desire to judge you, it is my desire to love you, and to embrace you and to protect you by my Word; but my patience grow thin with thee this night; for I have done my part.
I have sent deliverance unto thee, I have made the way saith God; and yea you send [Ed., Unclear Audio] my children playing in the market place. Yea I the Lord thy God would say, “Arise from your place of play, and arise from your tables and feasts and banquets; and come this night said the Lord and present thyself unto me. “Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” saith the Lord.
For yea, I have given unto thee precious promises, yea I have spoken unto thee that which I desire to do in this place, and through this ministry said the Lord; and you wait and you tarry; and while you’re waiting and while you’re tarrying you’re picking up more of the world. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, “Lay aside the world, make up your mind this night once and for all, to follow me, to totally abandon everything that hangs upon thee. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, do not walk like the world; do not talk like the world; do not play like the world plays; for I have called thee this night, Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up! Saith the Lord.
Pulling You to Trust
July 9, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Anne Tremain
It’s very hard for me to say what I’m feeling. But I know what the Lord said to me, and I’m going to say it just for me. I thought the Lord wanted me to give a prophecy, but I’m not sure. But He said, “Don’t you know that I’m pulling you to trust Me?
And when you can trust Me the way I want you to trust Me, you won’t feel so heavy; you won’t feel downhearted; the hands won’t hang down so much. Once they start, once these things start in you, I’ll show you how you can lift it up and how you can shake it off.” In the Name of Jesus Christ.
Using Another Member of the Body for Healing
July 9, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given by Brother Daniel Skipworth
As Brother Jonathan was singing that, I saw two things. They seem irrelevant to each other, but I think the Lord has showed me why He showed me these two things. The first thing was, as I saw a body, and I saw one hand that had a cut on it. And I saw that that hand wasn’t healing.
And I saw the Lord use the other hand and take salve and put it on that wound, and it healed. And I saw that before that wound, or before that hand could grow more in the Spirit, that that wound had to heal.
And it couldn’t be done… The hand couldn’t do it on its own. The salve, which I took as the Anointing and the Holy Spirit, couldn’t be applied unless the Lord used another member of the Body to put it on there. And what He spoke to me was, is that there’s people in the service tonight that God wants to use you to put salve on somebody’s life, on somebody’s wounds.
The Father’s Love
July 9, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given by Brother Daniel Skipworth
The other thing that He showed me was, He showed me His love. I saw a Father’s love. I’ve never felt it myself, but I saw a Father’s love as He looked down at a child. It was like He was looking at His child; He was saying, “That’s right. You’re doing what you’re supposed to do. I’m proud of you.” And it was tears of joy.
I don’t know who you are tonight; someone needs to let the Lord use them. You’ve got something in your hands that could heal the wound of another. You may say, “Why me? What does it matter?” You may be the only person that can reach that wound.
The Transition Will Bring Ease
July 11, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Carmen Lanier
I felt like the Lord told me something else after I went to my seat, and I felt really bad like I maybe didn’t effectively speak what the Lord had given me. But when I got back to my seat, the Lord reminded me that the transition would bring ease. And I know that He’s always typed our experience to a birth. And as I was seeing it, I literally saw this squeezing.
And when I got up here to the front, the Lord reminded me that Brother Shelley saw Mount Zion in convulsions and labor pains. And I know that’s what I was seeing and feeling. So I know that… I didn’t want to make it feel like everything is going to be worse, but this church is going through a transition. And the Lord was helping me to understand that He’s in the middle of it, that Glory’s going to come forth.
God’s People Will Be One
July 11, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Betty Omilian
In my mind’s eye I could see this great eagle and his wide, long wings. And then I looked again and I could see a cross in that eagle. And I thought, “Oh Lord, You’ve done everything.”
And then I thought of God’s people that God wants. He’s going to have them in this day. They’re going to be perfect in Him. I thought, you know, “Well Lord, yes, but You were one back there.” And then I thought, “No. In this day we’re going to be one. God’s people and God are going to be one.”
The Weight of My Promise
July 11, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given by Sister Carmen Lanier
I feel like first I need to describe what I see. I see a pathway that our feet are walking on, and I see a rough and rocky terrain. But it’s unusual on the path, because instead of being open on both sides, it’s like there’s high mountain rocks on both sides, and it’s like we’re passing through… I don’t know what they call it. But it’s like we’re being squeezed as we’re walking through it.
But the Lord was speaking into my spirit for us not to be dismayed that we feel weighted down or heavy, because He has caused the pathway that our feet walk upon to be inclined and to be pressured, that it was for a season. And He said over the next few weeks you will feel the pressure of it, but that He has ordained this walk, but that He will see us through to the top of it.
But I feel a squeezing, and I feel it from both sides, and I feel a weight. But He said, “It’s the weight of My promise that you’re carrying, and the heaviness of that which you expect to see.” And He said even though you can’t see where your feet are walking to pace in front of you, He said to assure you that He is with you. And He will see us through every decision and through every step that we take.
A Call to Unity
July 16, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, for the Lord would say unto this day. Yea, I will open unto you new beginnings. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I call thee this day to unity. Yea, I call you to fortify, saith the Lord. Yea, I call you to lay shoulder to shoulder and join hand to hand. Yea, I the Lord thy God would call thee out of your divisions, saith the Lord, to stand before Me as one.
For yea, it is only in the unity, yea, the unity that you have one with another. And the unity that you’ll have with Me, it is only through that, saith the Lord, that you’ll be able to overcome, yea, the things that have tried to destroy and hinder you, saith the Lord. But yea, I call you into that unity, and yea, I set before you this day an open door. And through the open door there are new beginnings, saith the Lord.
Yea, I say unto thee, you that have stumbled, you that have failed, you that have fallen, yea, you that have made terrible mistakes, saith the Lord, in your life. You feel that you’ve failed yourself, others and God.
But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, through the door there are new beginnings for you. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, if you’ll come into My Presence today, yea, I’ll cleanse you from your past. Yea, I’ll wipe away yesterday, saith the Lord. Yea, the things that you said, the things that you did, yea, I’ll wipe it away, saith the Lord, with My mercy and My grace, and I will cause you, saith the Lord, to have a new beginning. Yea, in this world there is no new beginnings. In relationships there are no new beginnings, because people try, saith the Lord, to forget. But the human mind cannot forget.
But yea, I the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, I will forget. Yea, I will forget your iniquity. I will forget your slackness. Yea, I will forget the words that have come out of your mouth. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall lay it all behind you this day if you’ll step through. Yea, I call you to unity and I call you to possess the promises of the Lord.
But it’s up to you, said God. It’s up to you to make the choice. It’s up to you to determine in your heart that a new beginning is in order. For yea, it is in order. I have established it and I have spoken it, and I have made it available for you today. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many of you would say, “That’s for this one, and that’s for the other one.”
But yea, the Lord would say, “I give it to you, to every person under the sound of the voice of the Lord.” If you desire to begin again in Me, don’t wait until the next week. Don’t wait until another series of meetings. But I call you today, saith the Lord. No man can come to Me in reconciliation or repentance unless I call him. And today I call you to begin again. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, does it mean that all of your problems will cease? Does it mean that your stresses will be no more?
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, you’ll still face obstacles. You’ll still face stresses. But I, the Lord thy God, will cause you to begin again. I will cause you to step forth again. I will cause you to shine again, saith the Lord. Do not wallow around in self-pity. For I have not called you to pity yourself. I have called you to rise up, saith the Lord, and dust off your dust.
Yea, arise, out of the ashes of the past and stand anew before Me. For I will empower thee with My anointing and I will kill thee with My Glory, saith the Lord, until your flesh is no more. For I declare unto thee a new beginning in the Spirit, so saith the Lord. Hallelujah… Worship Him right now. (Tongues)
Lift your hand right now in surrender to the purposes of the Lord. Some of you are struggling this morning because you can’t see His purpose. You can’t see God’s purpose in your life right now. You can’t see the purpose of the Lord in the things that you’re going through and facing. But if you’ll just surrender, I believe, I believe the Lord will open your spiritual eyes this morning, if you desire it, and let you see the purposes of the Lord being revealed in your life.
Reveal My Purposes
July 16, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Even in the bad things, even in the trying things, even in the tempting things, even in the hurtful things and the hard things, yea, I will reveal unto thee My purposes, saith the Lord. I will show you that in your trials I can make you strong. I will show you, saith the Lord, that even in your failure I can deliver. And I will show you that the past means nothing to the Living God. For I shall wipe it away from you if you’ll surrender.
Yea, call on Me, saith the Lord. Do not sit by and let this anointing pass over you. But call on Me, said the Lord. Call on Me, and see if I will not do that which I have spoken and cause you to go forth from this place feeling new and fresh.
Yea, it is My desire to restore to you the joy of My salvation, the joy and the peace that you’ve once known, I will restore it unto thee this day if you’ll call upon Me and allow Me to give you a new beginning, saith the Lord.
Minister to the Body
July 16, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Daniel Skipworth
As we were singing that, and as Brother Shelley said that we should go and love one another, I saw again something that I saw a couple of weeks ago, where I saw a human form where a hand, saw a wound on the other hand. And it took salve and smeared it over the wound. Except at this time I took it in a different way.
Because the Lord told me, He said, “Until you learn to minister to your own Body, how can you ever help anybody else? If you can’t see your own need and minister to it, how can you ever reach anyone?” We should all love one another. If you see a need or the Lord told you to go and minister to someone, then you shouldn’t hesitate because you never know what you may accomplish by doing what the Lord tells you to do.
The Pressure Will Not Push You Over the Edge
July 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Joyce Greeley
The devil would tell you that this pressure is to push you over the edge. But the Lord would say unto you that it’s because he cannot see the invisible hand that guards the edge. And the pressure will not push you over the edge, but through the door.
The Beginning of the Battle
July 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
The Lord is speaking to me right now. He says some of you might think the battle is almost over, but the Lord said it’s not almost over; it’s just beginning. And as the Lord was speaking to me that, I could see people passing out swords one to another. It was like there was a surplus of swords and we were passing them one to another, many different swords, were passing them out.
And I believe as we pass out those swords, we’re not only passing out swords, but we’re passing out strength to wield the swords. I believe if you’ll reach up and claim that strength tonight, not only is God going to give you a sword, but He’s going to give you strength to use that sword.
Forget the Past
July 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
You know, I was praying yesterday, and God said to me, “One of the reasons why I’m going to give you a new beginning is because you can’t forget the past. And until you forget the past and all the wrongs of the past and all the things you harbored from the past, you’ll never go any farther than what you are right now. That’s why I’m going to give you a new beginning.”
Dust Funnel
July 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But as I was sitting there, I saw in the Spirit a dust cloud gathering up. And I’ve seen them in Arizona, and you Westerners have seen those dust funnels. I don’t know what you call them. But I’ve seen them rise up out of nowhere.
And when we were in Africa this time, when we were in Kenya, and we were headed to Lake Bulgoria where we got on the boat and floated with the hippopotami, when we were headed toward Lake Bulgoria, we not only saw one, but there were dozens of them, (Do you remember?), all out across those hilly places, these dust clouds, and all at one time. It was so amazing to see probably ten or twelve at one time, just scattered everywhere.
And I saw that dust cloud rise up. And all the dust… And it was so dusty and so full of dust, that dust funnel, not just a cloud, but it was swirling about, just like a cyclone, but so full of dust that it became so dark that I couldn’t see, the dust that between me. And I knew in the Spirit that I was to speak to that dust.
And as I spoke to it, sitting there, I saw it… It was… I wish I could generate it on the computer, how it looked. When all that dust that was in that funnel that was so distributed by that wind, it just came to a clump and fell down to the ground, and rolled like a hard ball of mud, just rolled when I spoke to it.
And what was so amazing to me was this; it looked like that there must have been two tons of dust in that cyclone. It was so black that it just blocked the light. You understand? But when I spoke to it, it came to a hard ball and fell on the ground and rolled a few times, and it was no bigger than my fist.
And I said, “You know, that makes me good and mad. Because the devil can take something that small and with a little bit of wind, he can pick it up and kick it around and distribute it around until it looks like Mount Everest. And all it is an ant hill. Is that right? Am I telling you the truth? The devil’s desire is to take the ant hill and make it look like Everest. Hallelujah.
So the devil is exposed. And we’re speaking to that confusion. God’s people shouldn’t be confused. It’s too late in the day. We shouldn’t be confused. And we need the eyes of our understanding opened to discern what God’s doing…
The Chink of Armor
July 25, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Cheryl MacGregor
This last Monday when Carmen and I prayed in the prayer chapel, I could hear the chink of armor going on me. And when I was standing at the back tonight, I could hear the chink of armor going on people all around me.
Fill Us with Your Glory
July 30, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Fill us with Your Glory. Fill us with Your Glory.
Let Your Glory shine through us to the nations.
Fill us with Your Glory. Fill us with Your Glory.
Let Your Glory shine through us to ever man…
Angel of the Lord Passing Through to Casey Hannah
July 30, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’m not sure what this means exactly. But one time while I was worshiping the Lord, I looked back toward the far back corner of the building. And I saw the Angel of the Lord standing there. He was moving about this building. And even though I kept my eyes closed, from that moment on I could still see the Angel of the Lord as He moved about this building.
I felt Him when He stepped up this way. And I knew that He had come from somewhere, but I’m not sure where He came from. And I knew in my spirit He was going somewhere, and I wasn’t sure where He was going. And I greeted Him. And I asked the Angel of the Lord where He was passing to. And He spoke to me in a voice that I can discern and He said, “I’m on my way to Casey Hannah.”
Firm Place to Stand
July 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night, surely I desire to give thee a firm place for you to put your foot, saith the Lord. Surely this night I desire to give thee a stepping stone, yea the Lord would say unto thee, to climb, yea, to pull yourself up out of the lowland, and to stand again on the mountain that I have ordained for you to stand on, saith the Lord.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, My Fire shall drive away the fear, and it shall replace all doubt with faith. And I shall give unto thee confidence, saith the Lord, that you might trust Me, that you might not only trust Me for your own self, but that you might trust Me in the life of others.
For the same Power that works a work in thee is working in those around you, saith the Lord. Do not look at one another. Keep your eyes off of one another, saith the Lord, and look unto Me. For I stand before thee this night, ready to strengthen thee, ready to cleanse thee, ready to set you free, saith the Lord.
Yea, I shall stir My Fire and My Glory about you, so that unrighteousness cannot find a comfortable place to dwell. Yea, I shall turn over the seed of the scornful, saith the Lord, and in this place the sinner shall not stand, but he shall fall before Me, yea, in My Presence and in My Glory shall he fall, until he has called upon Me for mercy. Yea, I shall call him, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall use you in My Glory to draw them which are lost. But now I offer unto thee My Life, more of My Life and My Spirit, saith the Lord. (Tongues)
Let the Fire Bring You to a New Beginning
July 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
I hear the Spirit saying, “Surely the Fire will bring you the new beginning. Surely the Fire will introduce to you the new beginning.” Let the Fire of God burn out the old. Let the Fire consume the old. Let the Fire of God take out the old, that the new might spring forth. Hallelujah. (Tongues) Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire, not any other Fire, but the Fire of God, the holy, holy, pure Fire of God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Declare it again. The devil didn’t like that. Do it again. Do it again. The devil doesn’t like that. The devil thinks You’re taking too much authority. The devil doesn’t like you taking that much spiritual authority. Take it anyway. Take it anyway. Fire. Fire of God. Fire of God. Holy Ghost and Fire, we claim it. Fire.
So shall your zeal be renewed. So shall your zeal and passion be renewed. (Tongues) Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Send the Fire. There’s a wonderful Glory being introduced. There’s a wonderful Glory coming. Fire, Fire, Fire. Fire, fall on me. Fire, Fire, Fire, fall on me. Fire, Fire, Fire, fall on me.
While you’re moving in the Spirit, I want to remind you of something the Lord gave me to preach on the purpose of the furnace. When they threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the fiery furnace that was heated seven times hotter, so that it might destroy them, and God took the very fire that was meant to destroy them, and He caused the fire not to burn anything except the ropes that had them tied. When the fire, when they went into the fire, the only thing the fire consumed was the ropes that had them bound. Hallelujah.
Let the Fire sweep over your life right now, consuming the ropes, consuming the chains, consuming the things that the devil has used to bind you. Oh, Jesus. Oh. I feel the Word of deliverance in this House tonight, and a special Anointing for going free. There’s a special Anointing for going free. There’s a special Anointing for going free.
Fire of God
July 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
The Fire of God brings purity.
The Fire of God gives liberty.
So let this Fire burn in me,
So I can be what He’d have me be…
So send Your fire upon us now.
Convict us ’till we humbly bow
Our hearts and lives into Your Hands,
Empowered by Your fire to stand…
The Fire of God brings purity.
Restoration to the Body
July 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Visions given to Brother Shelley
I see visions breaking all around me now in the Spirit. Odd things I’m seeing. And one of the things I’m seeing is, I’m seeing the restoration of a foot, and I’m seeing the restoration of a hand, even a member that has been severed from the body.
But you know, the first thing they do is, try to get it back and they try to suture it on, to sow it on, hoping that the blood will flow. Even have to suture the blood vessels. And if they can get the blood to flow properly through that foot, even though it has been severed from the body for some time, maybe it’s kept in ice or whatever. You know how these things work.
But I see these missing limbs coming back to the body. That’s how I see the body. And I see areas of the body where there has been no circulation. The blood has not been flowing properly. But I see God restoring proper circulation to this spiritual Body. And I see a numbness and paralysis in the Body being healed. And it’s spiritual right now.
I see the restoration of cells that have been damaged by sin, by unrighteousness. But I see a regeneration taking place in this spiritual Body. And it began to happen to quickly. Just little things breaking all about me.
Healing to the Spiritual Body
July 30, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’m going to try to say this without being too plain. I don’t want anybody to feel nauseous, or anything like that. But I have even seen webbing. I don’t want to be personal but… Oh Lord, how shall I say it? It’s like a… I’ll just describe it this way. It’s like that which clogs the womb, that prevents life from growing. It’s like in the natural the disease of endometriosis.
I see that webbing of tissue that has filled the womb with such a fullness that there is no room. As we preached before. And I see that God desires even in this atmosphere, as He’s healing other things, to push that webbing from the body, that hindrance. Even like tumors being pushed from the body, yet healing taking place in the Body of Christ tonight.
And I feel guilty sometimes that God deals so plainly with me, but I can still see now, as I speak, that just the fullness of the womb and how God desires to empty all that’s unlike Him. Push it out. Push it forth, so that He can be formed in the womb of our spirit. Hallelujah.
I even see something swelling, bulging, like the appendix full of all kinds of things. It’s filled up that little space until it’s bulging. And it’s so polluted, that it’s infection for the Body. And I believe God is desiring to remove everything that’s wrong with the Body.
I’ll just have to stop. But as I’m sitting here, in the Spirit I can see maladies breaking out in the Body. But God’s revealing it because He desires tonight to heal it. If He can heal a physical body, He can heal His Spiritual Body. This is the Body of Christ. Hallelujah.
July 30, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Heartbeat of God
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
Can I tell you why the devil fights you all from, tries to keep you from standing together, loving one another the way you should? Because he knows there’s so much strength in unity and he knows what God has promised to this body.
That’s why he magnifies each other’s faults in your eyes. He magnifies this and that, little things become big and before it’s over, they are big. But it’s because the devil has kicked them up. So we ought to be smarter than the devil this night, and we ought to just tell the stupid devil we’re not going to yield to his thoughts or ideas any more. But we’re going to heal. Let the Body heal itself. Oh yes.
That’s a prophetic Word for this service right now as we. Let the very Life of God course, let the very Life of God course through this Body of believers. May we feel the heartbeat, oh God, and the breath of the Savior coursing through us, healing us. Those who are weak, those who are spiritually dead, numb, paralyzed, let the Life be carried to them.
Divine Symphony
August 6, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord just few moments ago I looked out toward the congregation. And instead of seeing the saints of God, I saw in the same formation as these chairs in a sort of a half-circular arrangement, I saw chairs. But I didn’t see the congregation, but I saw musical instruments, and those who were called to play those instruments. I could see the brass section, and I could see the strings, and I could see in the back the percussion and all of the different woodwind instruments. And I knew that the Lord was showing me a symphony.
And I heard the Voice of the Lord say, “This meeting, in this camp meeting I’m going to reveal a divine symphony among you, saith the Lord.” Yea, I’m going to show you each how you can flow in My anointing, in the unity of the symphony, saith the Lord. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, many of you have desired to play alone. But I have not called you to play alone, saith the Lord. I have not called you to shine alone. But I have called you to play together, saith the Lord.
And yea, you shall not receive Glory for yourself. But yea, you shall receive Glory as the Glory is given to the Body, saith the Lord. For I have called You to be My divine symphony. Yea, I will inspire the music, saith the Lord. It will not be music of this earth. It will not be music of this dimension. But yea, it will be music from the heavenlies, saith the Lord. And you shall play it out, saith God. Even as a symphony that’s already written, saith the Lord. Ye shall know the changes of the key, yea, and ye shall change together, saith the Lord.
For the Lord would say unto thee, I’m raising the pitch of this symphony, and I’m changing the key today, saith the Lord. And I shall call you to play a higher pitch. I shall call you to a higher tune, saith the Lord. I shall reveal Myself to you and I shall bring you together in the unity of My Spirit, and I shall play you as a symphony, saith the Lord. And it shall go forth upon the tapes. It shall go forth upon the video.
And yea, I shall use many, many ways, saith the Lord, to allow the heavenly music that I shall raise in this place. Yea, I’m not speaking to thee of music in the natural alone, but I’m speaking unto you spiritually, saith the Lord. For I shall anoint the preaching. I shall anoint you in the gifts, saith the Lord. I shall anoint you in administration. Yea, I shall reveal My divine order.
For the Lord would say unto thee, My symphony shall be revealed in this meeting. And you will play together with the unity that you have never played before. Not seeking glory for yourself, but for the Body that I have fitly joined together.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, when I have called you bone to bone, when I have called you place to place and joined you together, when they look at you, saith the Lord, they will not see you as an individual. And they’ll not even say, “Look what a glorious unified symphony.” But when they look upon you, they shall Me. For I shall be revealed in this symphony, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, thank You, Jesus.

Here for a Purpose
August 6, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
The Lord would say unto thee this night, I have called thee here for a purpose, saith the Lord. It is a purpose not of your own coming, saith God, but of My calling. And yea, if you will come with an open spirit and an open heart, I shall fill thee, saith the Lord. I shall meet your needs, and you shall not go home empty. You shall not go home with the needs you came with, saith the Lord, but you shall go home filled with My Spirit, and yea, My Anointing.
And yea, ye shall not leave discouraged, saith the Lord, but if you will open up unto Me, I will feed thee, saith God. I will feed thee from My Word. I will feed thee from My Glory. For you are Mine, and I have chosen thee. I have ordained thee to be here this night and in these meetings, saith the Lord. And I shall do that which you have asked of Me, yea, that which you expect, saith the Lord.
Yea, open your windows. Open the doors, and I shall come in, and I shall fill thee, saith the Lord. Yea, open up the umbrella, saith the Lord. Turn it up, and yea, I shall fill it. Yea, do not stand under it, saith God, but turn it up and I shall fill it. Yea, turn up the baskets and all that you’ve come with, yea, and I shall fill them, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall fill them unto overflowing, saith the Lord.
I’m Here for You
August 6, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, yea, I have seen thee searching, saith the Lord. Yea, I have seen thee looking for something that would be real and that would set you free, saith the Lord. Yea, I’ve seen all the times that you’ve started out to follow Me, and yet the circumstances of your life have become so hard that you just did your own thing.
But yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, I have seen you looking for something, something genuine, something real, something that would set your feet on a firm foundation. Yea I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, even as thou have sought after Me, yea, I am seeking after you this night. Even as you have searched for Me, I am searching for you even in this service, saith the Lord.
And if you’ll give Me your ear, hear My Words, yea, listen even to the Anointing upon the songs, and My Word as it goes forth, yea, I will reveal to you even as you sit here tonight, I will reveal to you the very Glory that you’ve been searching for in Me. For yea the Lord would say unto thee, deliverance is hovering near unto this place tonight. And yea, if you’ll reach up into My Presence, yea, I will deliver you and set you free.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, some of you have struggled with habits and with things for years. But I’m here tonight to deliver you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet, if that is your desire, saith the Lord. I’m here for you, and I’m speaking to you for one reason, and for one reason alone, and that is, to let you know I’m here for you, saith the Lord.
Grace to Be Changed Forever
August 7, 2000 (Monday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night. Yea, by My Spirit I call unto thee, saith God. Yea, I desire to change you forever, saith the Lord. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, repent before Me. Invite Me into your life, saith the life, and I will come and wash you with My blood. Yea, I will teach you how to live a new life, saith the Lord.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, for too long you have run from Me. Yea, I have called to thee, and called to thee, and fear has kept you from Me, saith the Lord. But tonight, I’m calling unto thee by My Spirit.
Yea, I will deliver you and I will set you free, and I will give unto thee the things that thou hast desired, saith the Lord. Yea, if you’ll surrender to Me tonight, Yea, I the Lord thy God will deliver and I will teach thee. Yea, it will not all come easy. Yea, it will not all come overnight.
But yea, if you’ll seek My face, I’ll teach you how to walk and how to talk. I’ll teach you how to serve Me, saith the Lord. And I will bless thee and give unto thee abundance. Yea, ye shall not walk, saith the Lord. Yea, you shall not wander around in darkness anymore, but I shall establish you.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, if you continue to go in the way you’re going, destruction is what you’ll find. But if you’ll fall on Me tonight and call unto Me for mercy, I will start a new beginning in thee, saith the Lord. And I will give unto thee a new chance, and I will change your life forever if you call unto Me in this hour.
For it is not by chance that you have gathered here tonight. My Spirit has ordained it. And if in this moment you will accept Me into your life, I will give you the grace that you need to be changed forevermore, saith the Lord.
Break the Dams of Tears
August 8, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even the eyes that have been dammed shall break forth, saith the Lord, and rivers of tears shall flow. For the devil has desired to dam up your tears, saith the Lord. But yea, I say unto thee, tears bring a revelation. Yea, I speak to you sometimes through tears. And the enemy has desired to make some of you hard.
But the Lord would say unto thee, it is not My will for you to be hard, neither is it your will to be that way. And I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, I shall break forth every dam, and tears of joy shall flow, saith the Lord, not only tears of broken-ness, but also tears of joy in My Presence. For you shall know Me in a way that you have not known Me thus far, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
Break the dams. Break the dams. Come on. Let’s believe God. All you have to do is lift up your hand of faith and say, “That’s for me. That’s for me. That’s for me.” (Tongues) Oh, praise God. Hallelujah, hallelujah… I appreciate what I see. Come on. Come on. I appreciate what I see. (Tongues)
The Lord began to prepare the atmosphere this morning in the service for what we’re feeling tonight. Oh, yes. The foundation for what we’re knowing tonight was laid this morning…
A Mighty Touch of God’s Fire
August 8, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For yea the Lord would say unto thee, many have said, “It is my desire to feel the Glory of God in that measure.” And yet the devil has come and told you that you shouldn’t desire to feel, that feeling is not important.
But yea I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, it is My desire for you to know Me, to know My Power, to know My strength, to know My Glory, to know My compassion. And yea the Lord would say unto thee, if you will continue to let Me work in your life, you shall feel Me and you shall know Me. For yea, I shall touch you with My Glory. For yea, I shall touch you with My Anointing. And you shall burn, saith the Lord, with a mighty touch of God’s Fire.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, do not let the devil discourage you from desiring to know My Presence, and to experience Me. For I am a God who desires for My people to know Me, to know all about Me, and to know My touch, and to recognize My Presence, saith the Lord. So the Lord would say unto thee, prepare thyself and continue to offer sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving before Me.
For I say unto thee that before you have left this place, and before these meetings are over, many of you will know My touch in a measure that you have never known, and shall experience My Power in a manifestation that is foreign to you, saith the Lord. But it shall strengthen you, and it shall sustain you, and it shall cause you to go forth in My Name, saith the Lord.
Break Up Fallow Ground
August 8, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given though Brother Shelley
Break up. Break up, fallow ground, saith the Lord. And I shall fill you full of My Word. Break up fallow ground, and I shall sow you full of My Word, and My Word in you shall come forth to maturity, saith God, and a mighty harvest you shall reap. Hallelujah, hallelujah. How many of you are ready to reap something? You ready to reap something? Wave at Jesus if you’re ready to reap something in your life. Hallelujah.
Building of the Anointing
August 8, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
I’d like to share something the Lord spoke to me this morning. Early this morning I was in the prayer chapel praying, and the Lord told me to agree with several people, and there was some ladies in the ladies’ prayer chapel, so I went over there, and they agreed with me that today would be a day of miracles.
And I believe tonight if we’ll lift our expectation just a little bit higher… I know it’s going high tonight already, but let’s lift it just a little bit higher and believe that God’s going to do miracles. And He also said that this is just the beginning. What you’re feeling tonight is just the beginning of His Glory.
And as the meetings progress, He said He’s going to build and build and build and build until the Anointing is so great, we’re going to have a hard time standing it. Hallelujah.
Fires All Over the Place
August 10, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Mark Hall
Oh, Glory to God. What would happen if we’d just yield to Him tonight? What would happen if we’d give everything to God? I challenge you to start worshiping God with all of your strength right now. Would you just do that?
Lift up your voices. I hear prayer warriors in this place. Holy Ghost filled saints. Come on. Pray. I see fires, literal fires all over the place.
Thou Shalt Lack for Nothing
August 10, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Unknown Person
I’m talking about that deliverance that this Bride’s going to walk in that perfect faith. Amen? Those spirits of darkness are just going to bounce off. Every ministry, the Bible said, will be tried. The prophet said, every son of God that comes to God will have to fight for every inch of his victory. And don’t think the devil isn’t trying preachers in this hour. Preachers, God is shaking you and shaking your barley field to see if you will stand.
And yes sir, it seems like you lose all your friends, Brother Shelley. But I’ll tell you, brother, God will give you that restoration. Men that have turned their backs on you are coming back to you, brother.
And I’ll tell you something else. The Lord said to tell you that money won’t be a problem. God’s going to flood in with your finances, and God’s going to bless you. I’ve seen you reach out to God this last week in prayer about finances. God’s going to do it. It won’t be no work of a man, it’ll be the work of the Holy Ghost.
I saw just this afternoon, I saw three preachers that had met, that desired to see you destroyed. Oh, but in return, the same thing they had asked for will be against them. And everything, My son, the enemy attacks you with, for thy faith shall be the faith that I have called for the hour. Yea, My son, I have even seen, yea, when it felt like, thou even thought no one was there. And even when thou stood in thy own bedchamber and knelt down and said, “My God, what has happened?”
Yea, when they turned against, I was there in that room. I was there even when you couldn’t feel Me in the darkest hour, My son. I was there, saith the Lord. And know that the doors shall open in other areas that have never opened. But I shall give thee favor, saith the Lord. And thou shalt lack for nothing, saith God. Won’t you praise Him? Reach out to Him.
Packed House
August 10, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Mark Hall
I’m going to tell you something. It isn’t going to happen overnight, but this building, again, once again, it will be packed again. It will be overflowing. I seen tonight in a vision chairs setting all out there. It’s coming down the road. But it was packed. It’s coming. It’s coming. Oh God. Amen. God’s going to bring people that want a move of God.
Yes. Now you that have come, say, “Lord, I’ve been a little thirsty and rusty lately, but I just want a new touch tonight.” You just lift your hands and start praising Him. Yea, there’s a Presence up here. I would not have felt this if there wasn’t a special anointing for it.
Life in the River
August 10, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I saw in the Spirit. And I feel like it’s so little, that I didn’t even want to take the time to share it really. But I feel like I should. I kept feeling a real unction. I could see the River of God. And I could see a tremendous amount of bubbles coming to the top. And I wondered about it.
I know that oftentimes it’s because there’s movement going on, settling. And other times it’s because there’s life there. And I believe the Lord is speaking to me that there are some things in people’s lives that have been shaky and unsettled. And I believe that tonight through this service the Lord wants to bring a settling in our lives. A real settling. Hallelujah.
That we wouldn’t be unstable, or that we wouldn’t be shaky. But really stable. And then I believe the other thing the Lord was revealing was: There is life in the depths of God’s River. There is Life there. And that’s the kind of life that we desire. That Zoe, that Life of God. So whatever you do, do everything you can to press yourself into the depths of God’s Spirit, to the depths of God’s River.
Because there’s life there for your tonight. There’s life and hope and health and strength in the depths of the River of God tonight. And I know that’s so simple, but I just had to share it with somebody. A real settling. We all need that in different areas of our life.
A Ministry of Praise
August 11, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night. Surely I shall reward thee and bless thee, saith the Lord. He that cometh unto Me with a sacrifice of praise, yea, this night shall not leave with an empty vessel, saith the Lord. But he shall be filled with the Glory, even My Glory. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, too long men have looked at praise as something optional.
But yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, I have called My Bride to a ministry of praise, saith the Lord. And yea, I have called them to praise Me when they feel like it and when they don’t. I’ve called them to worship Me and to sacrifice a praise, saith the Lord. I’ve called them to leap before Me and dance before Me, and shout before Me, saith the Lord.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have prepared a blessing for thee this night, a portion, saith God, that thou hast hungered for and thirsted for. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee. Push everything out of your mind, and don’t be critical, saith the Lord. But open your spirit unto Me.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I will visit thee this night, and I will sow into your spirit, saith the Lord, the Words of Life and the Word of Deliverance. Yea, I shall bless thee and I shall increase thee this night, as thou hast sacrificed unto Me, so shall I pour out unto thee, saith the Lord.
Called into the Thickness of the Glory
August 11, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
This evening I had to run into town for something, a little errand. As I was going into town I was listening to a tape. And on the back side it was spontaneous worship. And I began to sing in the Spirit with the people. And the Lord showed me a vision and I saw a Cloud. It was the Cloud of God’s Glory.
And in the center it was so thick, you couldn’t see through it. But on the outer edges, you could see it was transparent on the outer edges of the Glory. The Lord said, “There are so many people who only enter in to the outer edges and that’s all they ever go.”
But the Lord said, He’s calling us to enter into the thickness of His Glory, into the thickness, where it’s so thick you cannot see yourself, you can’t see those around you. All you can see is the face of God. Hallelujah… I believe if you press a little bit further tonight, you’re going to press into that Glory.
Chain of Command
August 12, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Mark Hall
Let me tell you this. Something getting ready to happen. I saw in the Spirit… I want you to do something. I ain’t never done this before, and I’ve never seen it before. But I want a sister just pair up in twos, sister to a sister, brother to a brother. Join hands.
One will put a thousand to flight, two ten thousand. I seen a chain of command, faith building upon faith. I seen demon spirits running from the people, all kinds of demons running from the people. You are making a point of contact. Start praying. Start praying. Start praying.
I Will Perform that Which I Have Promised
August 13, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Know this, saith the Lord, know that I am the same. Know that I have changed not. Know that I delight in my people when they come believing, saith the Lord.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, many things have I desired to give unto thee. Many deliverances have I desired to pour out for thee and for those you love. But I’ve waited, saith the Lord, for you to come believing, for you to come receiving, saith the Lord, for you to come declaring and decreeing My Word.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, that Word that has been planted within thee, My Word that I have planted in thee and that I have added to year after year, saith the Lord, it is My desire now to call it forth. Yea, that which is within thee, it is My desire to call it forth.
Yea, I woo over you this morning by My Spirit. And I brood over you by the Holy Ghost. And as I brood over you, saith the Lord, I’m calling that Word that is within thee to come to life, to come to manifestation, to come to maturity.
For the Lord would say unto thee, the time has come that that which is within thee shall come forth out of thee. And you shall speak My Word in faith, not worrying about the results, not worrying about the answer, not worrying about whether or not it will come to pass. It is not up to you, children, to cause My Word to come to pass. I am God, and it is My Word, and I am well able to perform that which I have spoken.
But I call unto thee, speak My Word in faith, not doubting. And by the Power of the Spoken Word, you shall see the greatest days of miracles and the greatest days of deliverances. And yea, even the hard cases shall be broken open, not by just prayer, not just by the stretching of hands, but yea, it shall come by the Power of My Spoken Word.
For I say unto thee, it is not only for the gifted, saith the Lord. It is not only for those called in the ministry of preaching My Word. But to You, My Bride, have I given the power and the authority to speak My Word. And watch Me, watch me, saith the Lord, and see if I will not perform that which I have promised unto thee even in this hour. Thus saith the Lord.
Glory Cloud
August 13, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were singing, “Holy Ghost, You’re so wonderful,” I could see in the Spirit like it was a cloud that had been stirred up, even as you might stir up dust or something, a cloud. I’ve seen it as dry as it’s been lately, when people walk down the hill, I can see a little dust poof up behind them. But I could see it. It wasn’t sawdust I was seeing.
But I believe it was representing the Glory of the Lord. And as this cloud began to move in and out, you know, like a normal cloud, because there’s movement in it, I could see that in that cloud of Glory there was a great celebration going on. And I could see that it wasn’t us that was celebrating, but it was the angels of Glory that were celebrating. And it was because we were singing praise to God.
And it was because we were giving glory to the Holy Ghost. I’m telling you, when you understand who the Holy Ghost is, then you don’t have any problem giving Him praise. Because He is Jesus. That is the Spirit of Jesus. Hallelujah. I want us to sing that again, and I want you realize that even as you rejoice, the angels in Heaven (hallelujah) are moving in their rejoicing and in their celebrating. And I believe as they celebrate tonight, they’re kicking up a Glory cloud. Hallelujah.
And when I mean by that is, I believe the Anointing is beginning to move in this House right now, even as we worship and the angels worship God. Heavenly realms are breaking through tonight (hallelujah) if we’ll just continue to worship and praise Him. Jonathan - Just to confirm what Brother Shelley’s already said, one translation in the Hebrew for the Glory cloud is dust. Hallelujah.
Holy Ghost, You’re so wonderful…
I also wanted to mention that when I caught a glimpse of angels worshiping the Lord tonight, there was a great banner that was rolled up. And I could see that the angels were beginning to unfurl this banner. And I don’t know what was written on that banner. I can’t tell. I couldn’t see, because the vision was moving in and out so quickly, as the Lord was so present.
But whatever it is that’s on that banner, whatever it was that was written on that banner that the angels were getting ready to unfurl, I believe whatever that was, that’s what God is going to break through in this meeting tonight. Whatever was written there, I believe that’s what’s coming through in this meeting. So let’s get in that atmosphere of worship and praise until God reveals that which is written there. Hallelujah.
August 15, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
A New Thought
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
Just about the time that man is ready to give up on somebody, that’s when God has a new thought about them. Did you hear what I’m saying? Tonight, I’m speaking to you prophetically. “Just about the time that you think somebody is finished, and they have reached that point of turn in the negative sense, God just starts having new thoughts.”
Take this Garment
August 16, 2000 (Wednesday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
For I desire to clothe My people in a new garment, says the Lord.
I desire to clothe her in My Glory and My righteousness.
It is a garment that has no spot or wrinkle.
It is all fair and pure, saith the Lord.
It is the garment that I have made for her.
And it is found in My Word.
It is found in praise and worship, saith the Lord.
It is found beyond the realms that you’ve ever known.
It is found in the deeper places, saith the Lord.
Come and take this garment, saith God.
Take this garment of beauty.
Take this garment of white, saith the Lord.
It is white. Hallelujah. Take My garment. Hallelujah.
Children of the Word Will See Me Face to Face
August 16, 2000 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord spoke to my heart and He said, “The only people, the only people that are ever going to see Me face-to-face in this realm, in this dimension, the only ones that are going to see Me face-to-face in this dimension, they’re going to be the children of the Word.”
And I said, “But Lord, there are a lot of people saying they see You. There are a lot of people saying they’ve had vision of You. There are a lot of people saying they’ve seen You face-to-face and they’re not children of the Word.” And you know what the Spirit said to me? He said, “Believe them not!
You know, that really stirred me. It really caused me to tremble. He didn’t say, “Condemn them.” He didn’t say, “Criticize them.” He didn’t say, “Mistreat them.” He said, “Don’t believe them because,” He said, “the only people that are going to see Me in the fullness of My Glory in these last days are going to be those who have seen Me in My Word. Those who are begotten.” That’s the very word He sowed into my spirit. “Those that are begotten by My Word.”
How many of you know what that word “begotten” is? It means, “Born.” It means “Birthed.” To those children that are birthed by the Word of God. They shall see Me, and they shall know Me.” I don’t know if that does anything to anybody, but it lifts me off of the ground. The very thought of it causes me to feel like I’m just being lifted a few inches off the ground. “To know Him.” I desire to know Him. But you know what? I desire to desire to know Him.
He Is Holy
August 16, 2000 (Wednesday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
He reigns in majesty.
He is holy. He is holy.
The Lord is clothed in righteousness.
He’s clothed in strength and power.
His Glory, His Glory shines about Him.
For the Light is His clothing.
His Majesty is His garments. Hallelujah.
He is enthroned in the praises of His people.
Hallelujah…
Holy, holy, holy…
Glory Falling
August 16, 2000 (Wednesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I see His Glory falling on different people across this building tonight. If you’re not feeling that Glory, maybe you would begin to sing your praise to the Lord. Hallelujah…
New Beginning Will Be a Birth
August 18, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Holy Ghost said Sunday, (was a week ago) if you get a New Beginning, it’ll be a birth. God’s going to look and make sure that you don’t try to patch up the old with what God gives you in the new.
Softening of Hearts
August 19, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord in the last song, I saw just a quick vision. I saw a heart. And it wasn’t shaped like the Valentine heart, but it was shaped like the human heart. And I could see the valves as they stuck up on the heart, and the shape of the heart. And I could see that it was so hard that it was just crusted over.
But I saw a touch of Oil drop from above upon hard heart. And I remember the words of the Scripture that was given here. He said, “He would take that hard heart and give a fleshy heart.” I could see that heart becoming soft as the Oil of God’s anointing rolled down. I believe that hearts that have been hardened against the things of God, I believe the touch of God’s Oil (Hallelujah) is coming. It’s coming. I believe it’s coming from above.
I believe you’re going to see the softening of hearts in a way that you have never seen it before. I believe the Lord is getting ready to turn these stony hearts to hearts of flesh, that He can touch, that He can change for His Glory. Let’s praise Him for it tonight. And believe for the changing of hearts. Hallelujah…
A Creative Anointing
August 20, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, for the Lord would say unto thee this night, knowest thou not that I am only a God, yea, that is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above? Knowest thou not that I am not just a God that’s able to mend, but yea, I am a God that is able to create?
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, the creative anointing is being poured out in this place tonight. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall begin a creative miracle, not only in one, but in several, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall call from those things that are not, and I shall create, saith the Lord.
Yea, I would say unto thee, remember that when I spoke I took from nothing and made something. And yea the Lord would say unto thee, I shall do it again, and this creative work shall begin among you tonight, yea, from the thing that you cannot see, from the thing that you cannot perceive, from the thing that you cannot recognize.
I will speak from that, saith the Lord, and a creative process will begin. Praise Me, saith the Lord, and worship Me. For I say unto thee, creative miracles shall begin in this hour, saith the Lord.
Peace Be Still
August 20, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Greeley
I even hear the Spirit of the Lord speaking, “Peace be still,” to somebody’s struggle right now.
August 25, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Cutting Us Loose
Vision given to Sister Jan
God kept showing me the helium balloons of yesterday, and it was like we’ll only go so far with the Lord when we hang on and we won’t let go. And God was coming along with the scissors and cutting them.
You Should Not Fear
August 27, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Anne Tremain
I just feel like the Lord was saying to me that you should not fear, because it is torment. We’ve been told that many, many times. But He said, “Don’t lay there, don’t sit there, don’t stand there and take fear. You can do anything to war against fear. If you’ll step out, I will take the fear from you. I will help you to rise up above that fear. Fear will kill you. I am life. I am faith. Believe in Me.
Grinding in the Change
August 27, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
As pastor was talking about seeing those gears, he had finished speaking and I began to see a large gear shift like you might see in a large truck. And I could just sense that people wanted to stay in one gear and God was trying to change gears, new beginnings.
If you’ve ever driven a stick shift vehicle, the car didn’t want to go into the next gear, you’ll understand more what I’m talking about. There’s grinding and grinding and grinding because that stick doesn’t want to go into that next gear.
I could just sense that there were people that didn’t want to go into that new beginning, causing grinding and grinding. I believe that if you’ll just release yourself in the Glory of the Lord tonight, let the Lord put you in that next gear, that new beginning… Let those gears begin to run smoothly once again. (Tongues) Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
When there’s switching from one gear to the next, that vehicle is still moving. But if it is not put into the next gear, pretty soon that vehicle will roll to a stop.
…tonight, to stand in the say of letting the Lord put us to that next higher notch, that the Body would roll to a stop. Let the oil of the Holy Ghost touch you tonight, so that you can quit causing grinding; there can be a smooth gear change into a new beginning. Hallelujah, hallelujah…
Lubricating Your Spirit
August 27, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
Could I ask you to do something? And you might think it’s a little bit foolish, but I want you to begin to turn around in the Spirit right now where you’re standing. Just begin to turn around, because I’m seeing people turning around in the Glory of God, and God beginning to move.
He’s beginning lubricate your life, beginning to lubricate your spirit. He’s beginning to send the oil where you once were dry. Hallelujah. And the wheels are beginning to turn. Hallelujah.
Cutting the Balloons of Yesterday
August 27, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jan Salvador
God kept showing me the helium balloons of yesterday, and it was like we’ll only go so far with the Lord when we hang on and we won’t let go. And God was coming along with the scissors and cutting them.
Lubricating Oil of the Holy Ghost
August 27, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see gears, wheels with teeth, the same kind of wheels in a watch or even in an engine. And I see that these wheels with teeth have gotten very stiff and very, almost frozen, so that they can’t move at all.
And I saw the Spirit of God desiring tonight to add the lubrication and the oil of the Holy Ghost back into people’s lives tonight. Not one, not two, not three, but many, many, many who have been feeling like the wheels of your life, your spiritual life, the gifts of God within you, the things of God, the pull of God, the deep calling within you, have come to a standstill. “Locking” is the word I was looking for, as though the gears of your inner being have locked.
But God desires tonight… And I know I’m not the only person seeing something similar to that, because I was seeing, just simultaneously I was seeing glimpses of something else that the Lord was showing another person (I couldn’t get it all) as I was pondering on this.
But God tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight desires to add the oil of lubrication to break up those gears or wheels or whatever you want to call them (I think “gear’s” a better term) to break them up so that they would be able to flow. In fact, even now in the Spirit as I’m describing what I have seen, I’m seeing the wheels as they’re beginning to turn slowly.
And the movement of those wheels is very choppy. But I know that as the oil of the Holy Ghost continues to flow in, lubricating, I know they’re going to begin to flow smoothly again. Not one, not two, not three, but for many in this House tonight the Lord desires… You’ve been at a standstill. I’m not even going to look.
But if you’d say you… If you’ve felt like, even though God’s been moving around you, if you feel like you’ve been somewhere at a standstill, just hold up your hand. I’m not even looking around. God knows. Tonight, Lubri while the Presence of the Lord and that great atmosphere’s been created, let the Holy Ghost add the lubricating oil. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Let Him add the lubricating oil to break up those gears that have been locked.
Hallelujah, oh, so that the movement… Yes. If it’s the tiny little gears of a watch, if the gears aren’t flowing properly, the time is not the right time. You’re not keeping the right time, meaning that you’re not in the right order for God, right in the timing and will of the Lord. If it’s in a motor, then you’re not going anywhere. You’re just standing still. But if those wheels begin to function again properly, you’re going to have a thrust of power. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Somebody else obey God.
Grinding of the Gears
August 27, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
As pastor was talking about seeing those gears, he had finished speaking and I began to see a large gear shiftlike you might see in a large truck.And I could just sense that people wanted to stay in one gear and God was trying to change gears, new beginnings.
If you’ve ever driven a stick shift vehicle, the car didn’t want to go into the next gear, you’ll understand more what I’m talking about.There’s grinding and grinding and grindingbecause that stick doesn’t want to go into that next gear.
I could just sense that there were people that didn’t want to go into that new beginning, causing grinding and grinding.I believe that if you’ll just release yourself in the Glory of the Lord tonight, let the Lord put you in that next gear, that new beginning…
Let those gears begin to run smoothly once again. (Tongues)Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
When there’s switching from one gear to the next, that vehicle is still moving.But if it is not put into the next gear, pretty soon that vehicle will roll to a stop….tonight, to stand in the way of letting the Lord put us to that next higher notch, that the Body would roll to a stop.
Let the oil of the Holy Ghost touch you tonight,so that you can quit causing grinding;there can be a smooth gear change into a new beginning.
Hallelujah, hallelujah…
I Am the God of Miracles
August 29, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Greeley
I witness with that. (Tongues) I could hear the Lord speaking, “Tonight can be your night of a miracle.” If you need a miracle, speak to that… Because you’ve come with a right attitude, saith the Lord, because you’ve come with a right spirit, I am walking in your midst tonight, to give unto you miracles.
Speak to your mountain, saith the Lord. Speak to your mountain. I will give unto you the miracle that you need, whether it be a miracle of deliverance, a miracle of healing, financial miracle. I am the God of miracles, and I have not changed, but I am walking through your midst, because you came with the right attitude.
Revelation of My Love
August 29, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Thomas Popham
While we were praying, the Presence of the Lord was there. I was sitting there and just weeping. I felt the Lord drop these words in my spirit. They were so beautiful. He kept saying, you know, “Thomas, I am the God of the impossible. I am the God of miracles. With Me all things are possible.” But also, all things are possible to those that will believe. And faith is the key that unlocks Heaven, but there’s a secret to the faith of God.
And He said, “In My Word I have written that faith worketh by love.” And I heard the voice of God speaking so strong, “When you will begin to understand how much I love you, then you will begin to trust Me for any miracle, for anything, for anything. When you come to the place that you begin to recognize how much I love you, then you’ll trust Me in any circumstance, in any situation.”
And I just kept hearing the voice of God just speaking over and over, just saying, “I’ve wrote it in My Word and I’ve proved it on Calvary, but if it would just be a word of encouragement to you tonight, I want you to know, My children, that I love you, that I love you, that I love you and I brood and coo over you. I rejoice over you. I love you. I love you.” I hear God saying, “I love you, My people. I love you. I love you, saith the Lord. Know My love.
Take and drink of My love. When you know My love, you truly understand a revelation of My love, you’ll be able to believe Me for the transformation of your body.” That is the key, I believe with all of my heart, to rapturing faith, is when we really begin to understand how much God loves us. Because then we can believe Him for anything, even the transformation of our bodies. I just think God wants us to know tonight that He loves us.
God’s Faith
August 29, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Beverly Skipworth
Tonight can be your night of miracles. God is the God of the many and the God of the few, and He’s given every man a measure of faith. And that faith, you can hang your life on, because it’s God’s faith that He’s placed in you. God’s faith… Your hand will reach up and it won’t come back empty handed. But I just felt like speaking those words.
Birth Pains Brining a New Covenant
September 5, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
What’s been going through my spirit is, a new covenant is usually painful. It has to be painful before it can be a new covenant. It’s like a new birth. There’s birth pains first (And I kept seeing Mount Zion, as our pastor had seen in a vision,) in birth pains. And that’s what I kept seeing all night tonight, was the birth pains that have to come first before you can make that new covenant.
Give Me Everything
September 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
Doest thou not know by this time that I am in your midst? And thinkest thou not that I can’t multiply that which you need? Do you not think that I can’t do what I know is the best?
Praise Me. Praise Me. The praises are what draw Me to you. Do you, do you think if you had but just a little while to be on this earth, would you give Me all you have then? Could you give Me everything you have?
It grieves Me to know that there are things yet you have to give to Me, and yet you would not. You suffer so much because you can’t trust Me. I’m the One that gave you You. I set you here. Can you not give back to Me that which I have given to you? Trust Me, My Beloved. Trust Me. Don’t give way to the enemy. Trust Me. Let Me raise you up. Let Me help you.
From the Prison to the Palace
September 17, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I hear the Spirit saying, “From the prison all the way to the palace. From the lowest to the highest. From the weakest place to the strongest.” I want you to think back for just a moment, when you were at the lowest. I know when my lowest moment was.
At the end of Nineteen Ninety-Six and the beginning of Nineteen Ninety-seven when Satan launched such an attack against me physically and mentally and emotionally and spiritually, that he desired to destroy my life, my ministry, and everything. And in order to want to live… You know, in order to live, you’ve got to have some desire.
But when you’re at your lowest place… How many of you know, you don’t care whether you live or die? And all the people who say, “We need you, and we’re counting on you,” in those moments, it means nothing. You want it to mean something, but it means so little when you’re at your lowest point.”
And this afternoon I could feel some of that old panicky feeling coming, you know, “You can’t do that. You don’t travel alone any more. You can’t do that anymore.” Oh, I could feel those old feelings coming. And it made me remember when I was at my lowest.
But I feel led to tell somebody tonight, think back. Everybody. I think some people are looking like, “You know, that’s for you over there. Maybe that’s for a visitor.” I’m talking to every one of you. Think back to the moment when you were at your lowest. That was low, wasn’t it? Spiritually, wasn’t that low?
But I heard the voice of the Spirit saying, “From the prison to the palace.” I heard Him saying, “From the lowest to the highest.” Somebody’s struggling in this very moment, because you’ve heard so many precious, great and exceeding promises, and you’re not seeing them come to pass in your life. I feel the unction of God to say to you (and I’ve got to hurry along and close) hold on.
Stumbling Blocks Becoming Stepping Stones
September 17, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
Yes. The Lord saying, when you’ve looked out, all you’ve seen is stumbling blocks. All you’ve seen is detours. But the Lord would say unto you, I’m getting ready to make your stumbling blocks stepping stones. I’m getting ready to provide the way of escape.
You’ve been praying to get out. You’ve been desiring to escape. Oh, but the Lord would say unto you, I’ll give you the escape. I’ll bring you out. I’ll turn it around, even this night, if you will dare to believe My promise, said the Lord.
Satan Is Under Our Feet
September 17, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
You know, Brother Jonathan, I’m having a hard time getting this out, but I’m going to get it out. I believe the Lord was speaking to my heart as we were singing that for somebody. “Somebody” may be somebodies. When Brother Jonathan said, “I’m going to sing that again for somebody,” I was hoping he would do the talking, so I didn’t have to.
But I believe the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and said, if we tonight in this building would put the devil where Jesus has already put him, under our feet… We’ve been preaching about the limit to his power. And he’s powerless under your feet. That’s where he belongs tonight.
But the Word that the Lord gave me was for people who look at others, who look around at other people and their situations and their circumstances, and they let the devil rob themselves of the joy and the victory that they need in the Lord. And finally they begin to excuse themselves by blaming others for the condition that they’re in.
But I want you to know, we’re free moral agents tonight. We’re exactly with God where we want to be. Oh, yes. We’re where we’ve chosen to be. But we don’t have to stay where we are. Aren’t you glad of that? We can move up higher tonight.
I don’t have any idea that you’ll do this. But I could just in the Spirit, when we got to that part, “He’s under my feet, he’s under my feet, he’s under my feet, he’s under my feet…” Some things when they sing it over and over again get on my nerves. But I felt something in that. That wasn’t getting on my nerves. That was freeing me up in the Spirit. I just believe tonight, whoever you are… I believe it could apply to every one of us. We all need something from Jesus tonight.
When we get to that part and we just sing it over and over again, I’d like for somebody that’s not ashamed of Jesus just to begin to leap a little in the Spirit and put him under your feet where he belongs. It won’t hurt anybody. It won’t hurt anybody. It won’t hurt anybody, and it might help somebody. Oh yes, it might just be an act of obedience.
Divine Promotion
September 17, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I’m hearing a word in my spirit right now. I’m hearing in the Spirit the word, “promotion.” Divine promotion. The Lord is revealing to me just now that God is getting ready to promote some people. Some of you are going to see promotions on your job. But that’s not the end. That’s only the natural symbol of what God is desiring to do. He’s desiring to bring you spiritual promotion. Hallelujah.
Some of you have known those moments of sweeping the floors and cleaning the toilet. (I don’t usually say it like that.) Some of you have known those moments spiritually. You feel like that’s your place; that’s all you’ve ever done spiritually. But I hear the voice of the Spirit (and He doesn’t lie) saying, “I’m getting ready to promote some people spiritually.” Hallelujah.
They’re not going to mop floors spiritually any more or just be hidden in obscurity. But I believe God is getting ready to raise some people up to some higher levels of Glory and some higher revelations of authority.
Brother, I believe God is going to get in somebody’s life tonight, and instead of letting your circumstances dictate your pathway and what you say and what you think, I believe God is going to touch somebody in these next few moments, and instead of letting things shape you and mold you, I believe God is going to let His Word flow out of your mouth with a new level of faith, with a new level of authority.
Not One Word Will Fall Void to the Ground
September 24, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
Oh, young Samuel. Oh. Oh, young Samuel. Young Samuel. Many times you’ve had words that you could not speak. But the Lord said let them speak. As Eli said to Samuel, you must speak the word. And do not fear.
He said, not one word, not one word’s fell and hit the ground, but God’s caught them up. And it said all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that young Samuel was called to be a prophet. And even so unto thee, Brother Shelley. From Alabama to Africa. Not one word, Brother Shelley, will fall to the ground.
Brother Shelley:
And I was driving alone, I was thinking about the next day, Wednesday, being my twenty-fifth anniversary of preaching the Gospel. And I was telling the Lord, thanking the Lord for His faithfulness to me.
But I said, “Lord, there are so many words. Even in Columbus, there are so many words that You’ve given me to speak. And when I look around, it appears to me that many of them have just fallen to the ground, unnoticed by man. And sometimes, Lord, it looks like they’ve even gone unnoticed by You.”
But I’m trusting You to bring Your Word to pass.” So I knew that God… Of course, He met me in such a wonderful way in the car. When I went to turn my rental car in, the man said to me. The black man said to me, checking it in. It was a different man. And he said, “I’ve never seen anybody that looked any happier than you look.”
And I thought that was so odd. I didn’t really feel that happy. But he said, “You’ve just got a shine on your face.” I just looked back at him and I thought, “Lord, this is so odd.” He looked like a tough guy, had a little loop in his ear. Big, muscular black man. And he said, “What, what’s the difference? Why are you so happy?” I said, “Well, I’ve been to a funeral.” And he just started laughing and he said, “And it made you happy?”
And I said, “It made me happy. And furthermore, I’ve been worshiping the Lord all the way here.” And I didn’t know I was happy, but I knew I felt at peace with the Lord. And so God gave so many little opportunities to speak.
But I knew that God was confirming Himself to me this morning, when the Lord spoke through Sister Propst about those words. “Not one of those words would fall to the ground.” Isn’t that the faithfulness of God? Would you praise the Lord with me?
I Am Calling My Bride Out
September 24, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley & Brother Greeley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Beverly Skipworth
This word came to me on Thursday morning. It’s to Brother Shelley and Brother Greeley. You must go trusting him. You just do what He has called you to do, and let Him be concerned about the results. As you have trusted Him many times before so must you trust Him now. Place everything in His big, capable hands.
You cannot carry all the burdens placed upon your shoulders alone, but you must place them in His hands. Look to Him and you will be strong. You’ll be strong because you know He is more than able to handle them. You must trust Him. You must not lean to your own understanding.
In your hearts you say you’re willing to be a yielded vessel to go forth to the nations of the world. So my sons you must trust Me as a child to his mother and father, for I am your Heavenly Father. Pour out your heart before me and I will hear. Give your burdens to Me. Lay them upon Me, for I am more than able to carry them. Give them to Me and trust Me. Place them upon Me and praise Me.
Did I not give you praise as one of your weapons? I am God and my eyes are sharp. They miss nothing. What is there that I cannot do if you will trust Me? Trust is not forgetting, but it is praising Me for taking care of every situation. I call you not to be naive to the enemy’s tactics and situations, but I call you to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. I have called you and I am placing you on this trip.
It is not man that has called you but the calling of your Heavenly Father who bade you to go forth and be obedient. For I have place many souls in your hands. Do not be afraid. You go where you have not been in the natural, but I go with you. The place I’ve called you to walk is not an easy one, but I assure you it is a rewarding one.
I am bringing My children, My sons, and My daughters to the place where they must trust Me, where they will not let circumstances dictate to them, but they will walk over them, on them, as though they were not. Who is man that I am but mindful of him? I am surely mindful of My Bride, My beloved, whom I love and I cherish, and whom the enemy hath afflicted and tormented and robbed and lied to.
I am calling. I am surely calling. I tell you the hour is late. I am calling My Bride. I am calling her out. I am calling for vessels who will be willing to prepare themselves to go forth into My vineyard, who are willing to lay down their lives and sacrifice to reach the
last ones. For you cannot be complete, even as the saints of old, until all have responded to My call.
Let him who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Hear and let him… He will respond. This is the beginning of why I’ve given you a new beginning. This is it, My children. My precious ones, hear the voice of the Lord your God, for I am calling. And many of you know you have My calling upon your lives. You know I have been preparing you service after service with My Presence, My Glory, My Word, pure and unadulterated. Where are you? You know I have placed my hand upon your life. You know I’ve been merciful unto you, not just one time, but many times.
I have called you to love one another. I have called you to forgive one another. But yet, you continue to hold grudges in your heart. Oh children, what my I do? I love you. You know I love you. When will you be willing to lay down your grudges and give them to Me and let Me change and transform you into My image? Do you not know how short the hour is? Do you not realize your day and your hour?
I exhort you to seek My face and sincerely, earnestly pray for these I am sending forth, even on a daily basis, and even hourly as I would lead you. Come ye together and be ye one. Be not separated on the wall, for how can you fight against the enemy of your soul?
Hold not back, but pour out your heart to Me, for I will hear. Listen not to the enemy’s lies on this hand and on that hand, but listen ye to Me, for I desire to do a great word among you, so great your hearts and minds cannot fathom what I desire to do. Come ye together. Be ye one, of one mind, of one accord, of one purpose. And worship Me and seek what I will do.

Kiss His Bride
September 24, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother David Omilian
As I began to sing that, the Lord spoke to me and said He desires to kiss His Bride tonight. He desires to come down and meet us in an intimate way, like a couple would meet themselves in a natural way. He said He wants to come down and kiss His Bride with His love tonight. Let’s open up our hearts and let Him come, be intimate with us tonight.
Walking the Razor’s Edge
October 1, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
While we were singing, “The heavens are open,” I could see the Lord opening marvelous gates to somebody tonight, new gates that they’ve never walked through, and new doors that they’ve never seen behind. The Lord said, “I desire to call someone behind a new door. I desire to call someone into a new realm if you would press, saith the Lord.
And it’s not just to one, but it’s to several if you would receive it. I will call many behind the door, if they would receive it, saith the Lord. For I am unlocking doors in the Spirit, gates that you’ve never known before, yea, realms that you’ve never experienced before, yea, a realm that you’ve never known anything about. Yea, I would desire that ye should walk with Me in higher realms.
For yea, I shall have a people that will not walk, saith the Lord, far away, but yea, will walk close to My side, yea, a people that would walk the narrow path, a people that would walk the razor’s edge, saith the Lord. I am calling you, yea, to a oneness of heart and oneness of spirit. Yea, walk one together into the new realms and into the new doors of My Anointing, saith the Lord, that I would call thee unto.
And yea, look not on the right hand or on the left, but look unto Me, saith God. For yea, if you would look unto Me, I will call thee higher. But yea, when you look unto the things around you, saith the Lord, you look unto the circumstances, you will follow after, saith God, but look unto Me. Therefore, you will follow Me into the new doors, saith the Lord.
Bread of Life
October 3, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Dream given to Brother Kary Payne
I wanted to share something with you before I close. A few months ago the Lord showed me a dream. It didn’t make a lot of sense to me at the time. I didn’t understand it. I tried, you know, but you just can’t. Unless God gives it to you, you know, you just can’t. Tried to figure it out. Tried to work my way through it, you know, and just couldn’t figure it out. Today the Lord told me what it meant.
The dream was this. I was in a house. It was a big house. It was almost like a house that I used to live in. And somewhere in the house there was one of the young people from the church. And I knew that there were two snakes in the house. And there were two cats in the house. And somehow this person got bit by one of the snakes. And he was on the floor. I knew that he was in pain.
And I knew that if I could get some bread to this person, he would be okay. I don’t know how I knew it. You know, you just know those things sometimes in visions and dreams. I just knew that if I got some bread to him, he would be okay. There was nothing special about the bread. It was just bread. In the dream it was just bread.
And so I went to the kitchen, and I passed by a long, oak table, a polished oak table, very, very nice table, big, long banquet table. And a cat jumped up on the table. (“A cat. It must not have been the Lord.”) A cat jumped up on the table, and I watched it walk across the table. And I got some bread, and it was all happening really fast.
And I found this person on the floor, and I gave him the bread. I said, “Are you going to be okay?” He said, “Yeah.” He was still hurting. He was still in pain, but he said, “I’m going to be okay.” I said, “Okay.” And then I went on through the house. And I heard a scuffle. I heard some caterwauling and some screaming and some moving and banging in the other room. And I went and I found one of the snakes in shreds. Then I saw the cat. And the cat was pretty tore up, but he was still alive. He was okay. And the cat had a look on its face that said, “I’m going to be okay.” I don’t know.
But the Lord told me what all that meant today. And I don’t know who this is for, but I’m just being obedient, so don’t think I’m mad at anybody. If it’s for one person, I’m just obeying the Lord. The Lord said that young person is the young people, and they have been bitten by a snake. And they need that Bread of Life. Jesus said, “I am that Bread of Life.” If they can get that bread of life, they’re going to be okay. But if they lay there, and there’s nobody to bring the bread, they’re not going to make it.

Pull Close, That I May Give You Instruction
October 8, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Greeley
I have called you in My Presence, saith the Lord, not because there was nowhere else to go, because you are My Bride. I have called you, that you may have instruction, that My Glory may touch you, all of the things that are with inside of you, to get dressed for the wedding supper, and touch you with My Glory, that you may have wisdom to dress. I am desiring that you draw close to Me. saith the Lord. Draw not back. Pull close, that I may give you instruction, saith the Lord.
Call Thee Forth
October 8, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, even though you stand this night in a pit that you have dug for yourself, saith the Lord, yea, it is My desire to bring thee forth out of it, saith God. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even though your hands have held the shovel, yea, even though you’re standing in a valley of your own making, saith the Lord, I desire to come unto thee this night and show thee the way to come forth.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee even though thou hast opened thy mind and thy spirit, saith the Lord, to the enemy, and even though thou hast listened to him, saith God, yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have an outstretched arm toward thee this night. Yea, I desire to call thee forth, saith the Lord. Yea, I hold it not to your charge, for it is in my making and in my doing that I have allowed it come unto thee, saith the Lord. For I desire to strengthen thee. Yea, I desire to establish thee. Yea, I desire to make Myself known unto thee, saith the Lord, in a personal and intimate way.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, close tonight every window. Close every door that thou hast opened to the voice of the enemy, saith the Lord. Tune thy ear toward heaven, saith God, and I will speak unto thee. Yea, ye shall hear My voice, and you shall know My way. Yea, you shall know My will, saith the Lord. For I shall transform thee by My power. Knowest thou not that this is the hour that I desire to bring about a change in your life? Yea the Lord would say unto thee, a change for the eternal purposes of God to be established among you.
And I call. Yea, I call. Yea, I call. Yea, I call. I call this night to the backslider. Yea, I call to thee, thou who are hard, yea, thou who hath hardened thy heart before Me, saith the Lord. Yea, I call to thee, for thou art Mine.
Yea, I shall extend a ladder unto thee even in this hour, if you’ll break yourself before Me, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, if you’ll humble yourself before Me and call, yea call… Do not restrain thyself. Do not hold back, but call unto Me, saith the Lord, and I will hear you. I shall bring you forth.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, it is not my desire that others would stumble in the way that thou hast stumbled, saith God. But it is my desire to restore. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall even use this, yea, for great change, not only for thee, saith the Lord, but for those that are about you. For this is the season of change. Hear from Me, saith the Lord, and know My voice. And yea, you shall be caught up, saith the Lord, caught up into My Presence and know the realness of My Glory, saith the Lord.
I Hear the Cries of Your Heart
October 8, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Betty Omilian
This poor man cried and the Lord heard his cry. Look ye up, for I am looking down at you. I am with you. I hear the cry of your hearts.
What Is Your Heart?
October 8, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Brother Jonathan Hollis | Interpretation given through Sister Anne Tremain
What makes, what makes you question in our hearts? What makes your shake under the questions that I will give to your heart? I’ve asked you questions. I’ve ministered to you. I’ve ministered to you in the same words. If you have such a short time to live on this earth, what would your life be?
My children, it’s serious. It’s serious. What would your decision be? Would it be yea and nay, yea and amen? Listen to the voice that has spoken to your hearts. Listen to the voice that has been given to you.
We have a work to do. We have a work to do. (Oh, oh. Oh Lord, help me.) Be honest before Me, children. A honest heart is what I consider. I judge your heart. What is your heart?
I’ve spoken to you before that that which is under the Blood is under the Blood. I will remember that no more. I’ve spoken it before. Be honest before Me, because I can hear your heart. I can see your heart.
This is me talking. This is Sister Ann talking. I know for my own self that I have been disobedient before the Lord. And the Lord has told me. The Lord has told me. And I know that’s why I carry some things. I know that’s why.
But I tell you this day, as God is my witness, I am going to be obedient before Him. I am going to be obedient before Him. I will do my part. I will do my part. Oh, my God. The sooner we get ourselves honest before God, the sooner He can work… [Unclear audio] Me, you, everyone, in the Name of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus.
I am so sick and tired of my own life. I am sick to death of my own life. It’s been meaningless. It’s been meaningless. God has used what little bit I give Him. He uses… He wants to use me. He wants to use you. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Let’s come together. Come together. Don’t lie before the Lord. Be honest before the Lord. He knows anyway. He knows. I cannot hide any more.
Encouragement to Joshua the Son of Nun
October 15, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
This is when Moses was addressing Joshua. And I know he encouraged him more than three times, but this was the three times that I found in the Bible. It says, “But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go thither. Encourage him. He shall call Israel to inheritance.
But charge Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. And Moses called unto Joshua and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, ‘Be strong and of good courage, for thou must go with this people into the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them.
And thou shalt cause them to inherit it.’ And he gave Joshua, the son of Nun a charge and said, ‘Be strong and of a good courage, for thou shalt bring these people of Israel unto the land which I swear unto them, and I will be with them.’”
Nations Being Birthed from Your Womb
October 15, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jackson
Pastor Shelley, your ministry is growing rapidly, saith God. Even nationwide, they’re coming. God said all tongues, walks of nations, is going to be under your ministry. (Tongues.)
Come, come, man of God. This is your song. “Lord, I want to see Your Shekinah Glory. Take the city. Take all of me. God. Man of God, I’m here for you. Whatsoever you ask, I will grant you for your obedience to Me. When men thought it was crazy, you stepped out; you believed Me. When men didn’t believe a word you said, God said, “You obeyed me and you went out.”
Whatsoever you ask of Me, I will, I will grant it unto you. Man of God, take the city. Take the nations. He said for you to take, saith God. I’ve put it in your bosom. No man can pluck you out of My hand. I’ve called you out of your mother’s womb. I’ve predestinated you. You are a prophet of God. Walk in the five-fold ministry, saith God. (Tongues.) I am your God. I am your Lord. Call upon Me in the day of trouble. I will answer thee. Call. (Tongues.)
Nations are being birthed out of your womb. Nations are being birthed out of your womb, man of God. You’re travailing, you’re travailing for the nations to come through, come through. (Tongues.) Nations, nations. I see babies; I see children; I see adults; I see men; I see women being birthed out of your bosom, saith the Lord God. Great man, great man of God, give me your hands. (Tongues)
Ride the waves of the Holy Ghost. Ride the waves of the Holy Ghost. Fresh oil of anointing. Fresh oil of anointing. Fresh oil, saith God, coming to you, man of God. (Tongues.) My friend, My friend, saith the Lord. I can trust you with My people, with My Word. I know who you are. If man never knows, I know who you are. True man of God, ride the waves of the Holy Ghost.
A Fresh Oil of Anointing
October 15, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jackson
Praise the Lord, Pastor. I heard the Lord when He said, “Someone else needs to obey God in this place.” For now, I know that you are truly a man of God. I come to bring you good tidings from the Lord, Pastor Shelley. I come to let you know that God said your prayers shall be answered. God said the bounds of tradition shall be broken. That is the only way that elevation can come to the ministry. God said that He heard your crying and your prayer for your people. It shall be broken.
God told me to come back on tonight. And with your permission, the Lord told me to lay hands on your children, all the children in the church. And when I get through laying hands on them, the Lord told me to touch your hands, for God has given me something in my bosom, a fresh oil of anointing.
And the Lord said He wants you to have this fresh oil of anointing, because not only shall you just preach to the people, bA fut the dead shall rise. The blind eyes shall be opened. The deaf ears shall be unstopped. God said those that are crazy and out of their minds, their minds shall come back to them. God said there will not be one that you shall lay hands and speak, that they will not be delivered. Your prayer…
Your household shall be saved. Your grandchildren and your grandchildren to come shall be saved. God said to obey His Words. He has opened up the windows of heaven and poured out a blessing. Bountiful blessings shall come your way, man of God. Stay steadfast and believe in the Lord, and speedily He shall move you up. (Tongues) I come, I come. I hear Him say, “I come, I come.” (Tongues)
Green Oil, Fresh from the Throne
October 17, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Hey, let me tell you what the Lord did for me Sunday night when I was standing here and sister was praying and speaking to me. I have to listen, because I’m not sure exactly what she said, all of it. But she said something about fresh oil. When she began to talk about fresh oil, a vision broke before me and I saw oil. I’ve seen it being poured out before. But I saw oil being poured out of a little vessel.
And the oil started as just a trickle, but as the trickle would move a little wider and a little thicker, and finally the vision changed. And I saw almost like a tidal wave come over me. Started with a little trickle and then it was just like up in my face, a tidal wave of this oil. But I tell you, I saw something in that that I’d never seen before, and I didn’t understand it until I went home, and the next day the Lord let me see it in something I was reading, the explanation to it.
This oil was not golden. It wasn’t golden. I’ve always seen golden oil. Check those prophecy books. You’ll hear me say on several occasions, “I’ve seen golden oil flowing.” But it wasn’t golden. That oil was green oil. Green. What an odd color. Looked like St. Patrick’s day. Green oil.
I didn’t understand it. I went home, thought on it, didn’t understand it. The next day I went to check my e-mail, and a brother had e-mailed me a vision that someone had had about green oil. I said, “Oh, my. I’d love to hear that. And I contacted this brother, and they sent me the rest of the vision. I said, “Oh, thank the Lord.” But it wasn’t any clearer than mine. It just talked about green oil flowing from the Throne. But I said, “At least that’s confirmation.” Green oil, I’ve never seen green oil before.
But I want you to know, the next day I went to the mailbox… That been today… No, it was yesterday later in the afternoon. I went to the mail box and opened the mail box and I was invited to a conference. I can’t go. But I was invited to a conference in Lakeland, Florida. And in that little invitation to that conference, it was written there about green oil flowing from the Throne. And I said, “Well, this must be in reference to that vision.”
And the preacher said that there was an explanation for that. Now I had not read anything. I’d not heard anybody say one word about green oil. And in one day after, there were two confirmations… And the preacher said to search it in the Hebrew. He didn’t give the explanation. But he said, “Search it in the Hebrew.” So I went to the Hebrew and I started searching, and guess what I found? I found that fresh oil is always green.
When I think about fresh oil, I think about oil that has never been cooked in. But in the Bible fresh oil was oil that had just been squeezed from the olive. And the olive, the oil is taken from the olive just before the olive is ripe, because the oil continues to cure itself after it’s separated from the olive. So the best extra virgin olive oil is taken before the olive comes to its ripeness. And the oil is fresh and it’s green.
I said, “Thank You, Lord. I know what You’re saying. The oil that You desire to pour out on us is right from the olive, right from the source and very fresh.” How many of you would like a touch of that kind of fresh oil? Isn’t God good to confirm? I could have thought on that for years and never figured it out. But God let two things come into my life in the same day that helped me to search and find the explanation for that fresh oil.
For Everything There Is a Season
October 20, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Anniversary Dinner at Ruth Ann’s Restaurant
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For everything there is a season, saith God. Yea, there is a season to be born. Yea, there is a season to die. Yea, there is a season to weep and a season to rejoice. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall bring a season upon thee. Yea, it shall be a season of restoration, saith the Lord. Yea, it shall be a season of renewal. For yea, I shall call back upon the tree that which has been lost.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, when My people have enjoyed My blessings, yea, they come to the place where they begin to take the moving of My Glory for granted. Yea, then they become careless, and they’re no longer good stewards of that which I done for them. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in that moment then things begin to fall away. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall forgive. Yea, from the oldest to the youngest. From the leader even into the congregation.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, people come to those places in their lives where they fail to embrace that which I promised to do among them. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall restore even that which has been lost among you. Yea, I shall restore the Spirit of deliverance. Yea, I shall restore the discerning of spirits, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall restore the righteous standard that I have established among you, saith God. For the Bride-Tree shall be thoroughly furnished with all that I have promised.
Yea, My Word shall come upon it, saith the Lord. My gifts and My fruits shall hang from the vine. And I shall even restore the leaves of fellowship. For the Lord would say unto thee, if you’ll seek My face, if you’ll call out to Me, saith the Lord, I shall be found of you, and I shall surely restore the Bride-tree in your midst, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
Things Held Back in the Channel
October 24, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I believe the Lord was just showing me tonight that if we would be willing to obey in those areas that He’s called us to, that it would clean out that channel, and not only would greater fellowship come, greater unity one with another, greater Glory and greater Anointing, but I believe there’ll be miracles in that channel that have been held back for a long time, and deliverances that have been held back for a long time, healings and releases and breakthroughs and spiritual gifts that have been held back for a long time.
And the Lord is just speaking into my spirit right now, some of you have still desired the gift of tongues. And the Lord is speaking to me, these are some of the things that are held back.
But I believe if the Body corporately together will begin to move those things out… It’s not just… It is individual, but it’s also a corporate coming together in repentance, that everything that we need, both corporately and individually. I know God will provide it. I hope I’ve made sense in interpreting or trying to share what the Lord…
A Language of Intercession
October 24, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying that God desires to take some of you that already have a language of prayer, you already have a language of intercession. The Lord said He desires to take some of you deeper.
Listen to me now. This is odd. Some of you are going to begin to hear a new language. Some of you are going to begin to hear new words and new syllables and new groans coming forth as you intercede.
God is going to do that for you to let you know that He knows that you can’t pray through on your own. He knows that you can’t break the heavens open on your own. He wants to let you know that His Holy Ghost is going to be there.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of you that never had a prayer language, I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t start groaning before the Lord, if He didn’t start bringing a language out of your inner being that’s been there all the time, a prayer language, a language of intercession.
Hear me. Is there anybody that hears what the Spirit of the Lord would say tonight? I wouldn’t be surprised if it just doesn’t come pushing out. And for those of you that have had it, I would look for something new. I would look for something deeper. I would look for new syllables, new language, oh, a new level.
God has spoken to some of you individually, prophetically already about your ministry of intercession. Be prepared for it to intensify. It’s praying in the Spirit. It’s not just praying our thoughts and our desires that’s going to get the job done, but hear the Lord when He says that it’s going to be praying in the Spirit, praying in the Holy Ghost, interceding in heavenly languages that’s going to break the heavens open and open the windows for you to receive. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Coming Quickly Under the Spirit
October 24, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord is showing me right now that when God begins to birth this spirit of prayer, this spirit of intercession among us, that some of you are going to come quickly under the Anointing. Where it takes you a long time now to get into the Spirit, you’re going to come quickly.
Ground is Level at the Cross
October 24, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given by Sister Carmen Lanier
On Sunday morning when Brother Shelley was in the pulpit, I saw like rays of light shooting out behind him and around him. It was like a light that was trying to emanate. And I know on Sunday night that was probably the most encouraging message I’ve ever heard in my life.
And I saw… I know Calvary was on a hill, but I saw that the ground was level, ground around the cross. And what has seemed so hard to get past is so easy when we fall down on our knees. And I want to thank the Lord for the work that He’s started.
Clear Channel
October 24, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Jan Salvador
Sunday night when we were up worshiping, the Lord was showing me a river with lots of rocks in it. And I recalled the preaching from before about a clear channel. The Lord was dealing with me that if there’s rocks in your river, you don’t have a clear channel, and in every one of those, that we have to ask God to show us what those rocks are before we can have a clear channel. And I just want to thank Him for what came Sunday night for all of us. I know that is our prophetic steps to take.
Intercession & Heavenly Languages Coming Forth
October 24, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And I’m seeing right now in vision that some of you are going to come under the Anointing so quickly as you enter this place that when you speak to one another, you’re going to know the Presence of the Lord. As you greet one another, intercession and heavenly languages are going to come forth from you, even as you greet one another.
I remember when He gave me the Holy Ghost. It was hours before I could speak in English. And even the next morning when I sat at the table for breakfast and I asked for the orange juice, I knew in my mind what I wanted, but when I tried to ask for it, a heavenly language came forth. I see some of you getting ready to move. (Tongues.) I didn’t even think… That’s never crossed my mind in that way as God is revealing it.
Would you just slip up your hand and say, “Whatever it takes? I don’t care how crazy it sounds. Whatever it takes. Whatever it…” Everybody, be willing tonight to say, “Lord, whatever it takes, that’s what I want You to do in my life.” (Tongues.)
I keep hearing the new intonations. Yes, new enunciations coming out of your mouth as you pray in the Spirit, to let you know that God is going to do the praying. He’s going to do the praying. He’s going to do the interceding through you.
Oh, some of you may not even understand what the Lord is trying to say, but you will. In due time you will. (Tongues.) Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh, my spirit is witnessing tonight that which God desires to do.
Some of you aren’t going to be able to wait until Thursday night prayer meeting, but some of you are going to find the Lord calling you. I’m not trying to hypnotize you. I’m not trying to move you with the Spirit of suggestion. I just believe this is how God is going to work among us.
Usher in the Prophetic Edge
October 28, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord spoke to me while we were singing that. And He said, “This song…” I don’t know that song. I’ve never heard that song. I’m probably the only person in here who has never heard that song. But I’ve never heard that song.
But as Jonathan began to sing, I heard a different voice singing that quicker part that I was singing, as he began to sing. And the Lord said, “I’m going to use this song to usher that prophetic edge back into the services.” Hallelujah.
“That prophetic voice that we’ve been missing, the hearing and the seeing that we’ve been missing, because people have been under stress because of all the different things that have been going on around us in the spirit world. And it’s caused everybody great stress and tightness and strain.
But the Lord said. (I believe that’s what God wants us to do, so I don’t think He’s quite through with that song.) Maybe we should do it just a couple of more times. I believe it’s an act of prophetic intercession tonight.
Shouting to the North, and shouting to the South, singing to the East and singing to the West. I don’t know why the Lord has chosen that, but I believe it’s that kind of anointing, that that song brought that’s going to usher that prophetic edge back into our service like we all desire. I know that’s your desire. (I didn’t mean to break in.)
Jonathan Hollis:
Before we sing it, I want to read that last verse. It says,’ Rise, oh Church, with broken wings, fill this place with songs again of our God, who reigns on high. By His grace again we’ll fly. We shout to the North and the South, we’ll sing to the East and the West, Jesus is Savior to all, Lord of heaven and earth.
I Feel the Wheels of Glory
October 28, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
I can feel the wheels of Glory in this place.
I can feel the wheels of Glory in this place.
As we worship and we praise,
As we lift our hands to God,
I can feel the wheels of Glory in this place.
I can feel the wheels of Glory as they turn.
I can feel the wheels of Glory as they turn.
As we lift our hearts in praise,
As His Glory fills this place,
I can feel the wheels of Glory as they turn.
Prophetic Intercession for Different Places
October 28, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
Just before Brother Jonathan began to sing that song, I saw the earth on its axles turning. And I knew I should say something, but I asked the Lord what was the meaning of it. You know, you want to know when the Lord shows you something. And He began to speak to me and take me back to when I heard people saying, “What is the use of coming to church and dancing and shouting? It seems like it’s the same thing service after service.”
But He began to help me remember, as our Pastor has preached that every time you get in the River, it’s not the same water when you jump in. It’s always moving. And as Brother Jonathan began to sing that, I heard Brother Shelley begin to say, “Turning. Turning. Turning.” And I could see the earth turning.
And every time… The Spirit of the Lord began to deal with me that every time we come into this House, and we begin to shout to the North and the South, and to the East and the West, that’s prophetic intercession landing in different places all over the earth. That even though that it seems like it’s the same thing service after service after service, it’s landing in a different place. It’s prophetic intercession for a different place around this earth, every single time that we jump into the Presence of the Lord in that manner. Hallelujah…
Breath of God Blow in Us Again
October 28, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Anita Currie
As we were singing that song, my mind went back to Ezekiel, where the Lord said, “Son of man, can these bones live again?” And he talked about the bones together, and the sinew came upon them, and flesh was upon them. But they were still dead.
And then He said unto him, “Prophesy unto the wind, that the breath of God may come to them that live again. And when they sang, “North, South, East and West, that’s what I was seeing. North, South, East and West. That the breath of God blow back into us again.”
Light of God Projecting Out from Us
October 28, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given by Sister Carmen Lanier
I saw basically the same… I saw the earth spinning, just as Brother Greeley saw it. But as soon as we started singing that song, there was something in me that was, felt like it was being propelled to want to go somewhere. And I realized, I don’t even know where the North is, or the South. But it was, as I saw it, as our voices were projecting forth, it was that prophetic intercession. And our voices were traveling to the North and to the East, the South and to the West.
But I saw it also as like a light that was going up out of us. It was going over darkness. During this heightened season where Satan goes to get glory, I saw the light of God projecting, because He is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. When I saw it going into darkness and covering it, and putting it under His feet. The stronger we sang this song, the farther I saw it being projected.
Look Beyond
October 31, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
For yea the Lord would say unto thee this night, I shall give thee greater Glory, saith the Lord. But yea, I desire to take thee into a higher realm and a higher plateau. And yea, you’ve tried many times to move up into that realm. You’ve tried many times to step up, but because of this circumstance or because of this problem you’ve not been able to.
But yea the Lord would say, if you will look beyond your circumstance, if you will look beyond the problem, saith the Lord, if you will look beyond that which you see in your brother and your sister, and you will look, and you will behold that which I am doing in them, saith the Lord, it’s not that which I do on the outside but on the inside. And yea, if you shall behold that, yea, then I shall move you up, saith the Lord.
But yea, it’s up to you, it’s up to you, it’s up to you, so look up. Look up. Don’t look around. Don’t look around, but look up. And yea, in your looking up, I shall draw thee unto Me, saith the Lord. I shall draw you unto this higher plateau. Yea, and you shall walk in this new realm. Yea, you shall walk in this new place in the Spirit. Oh, and others shall see, and they shall know. For it shall not only be on the inside, but yea, I shall do a work on the outside.
And yea, you shall know strength beyond strength that you’ve never know, saith the Lord. You’ll know joy beyond joy that you’ve known in the past. Oh, and it shall be a joy that shall keep you, saith the Lord. It won’t be a joy that you’ll lose the next time Satan comes and tries to bring you doubt, but it’ll be a joy that’ll keep. Oh, it’ll be a joy that’ll keep.
For I shall preserve thee, saith the Lord. I shall preserve those who desire, yea, desire Me beyond anything, saith the Lord. So chase after Me. Chase after that which I’ve promised. For yea, I shall not be slack concerning that which I’ve spoken. But yea, you shall trust Me. I shall do it speedily, saith the Lord.
Heaven Is Open
November 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister April Rains
In my spirit I just keep hearing repeatedly that heaven is open over this place tonight for a purpose, for us to praise Him and to pray, because our prayers and our worship can raise up before Him unhindered tonight, for heaven is open above this place…
Church Finances
November 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Betty Pilkenton
About three weeks ago, the Lord put a burden on me for the finances of the church. And I feel that we are going to be able to give to the church, that the Lord is going to help us somehow. And I don’t know how, but I just believe He’s going to help us to give to the church so we can build that building.
His Good Pleasure
November 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Beverly Skipworth
Late last night, the Lord spoke the very same words to me, about it was His good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. And it so stirred me that I had to look up, see exactly what it said. And it’s, “Fear not, little flock. It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.”
Without Obedience, He Can’t Move
November 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
When Sister Tremain started speaking in tongues, it just went through me that the Lord was trying too hard to move in here. And after she finished speaking, the words came to me, “Trust Me, trust Me, trust Me.” And I couldn’t speak them out loud because of fear myself. And I can’t get over that. And I ask you all to pray for me, because I know that God wants to move. But if we’re not obedient to the gift, He can’t move.
The Demons Tremble at God’s Promises
November 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Joyce Greeley
These words came into my spirit even before Brother Shelley spoke, and I think they flow right along with it. Even the demons in hell tremble tonight because of the promises that have been made to you. And though the scram out trying to find ways to scheme and find ways to discourage or to thwart, they tremble while they plan and while they scheme, because they know that they cannot stop God’s Word from coming forth, and from His promises.
I Will Make a Way
November 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Anne Tremain & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord will make a way for those who trust Me, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that I will make a way, even where there appeareth no way? Yea, I shall also make a way for you, saith the Lord.
For they that trust in Me and hope in Me and believe in Me, yea, I shall honor them in this hour, saith the Lord, and I shall make a way. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, even in this week, this week shall be a week of making a way, saith the Lord.
Yea, I shall make a way for many of you where there has been no way. Trust Me and believe Me, saith the Lord, for it is My good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. I’m waiting on you to believe and to trust. I’m waiting on you to throw yourself in My mercy, saith the Lord. I shall open many ways for you, saith the Lord.
Going Through the Motions
November 12, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As I was meditating on the Lord during the service, I saw just for a few split seconds, I saw people moving like those toys that I was speaking about this morning, those wind-up toys. How many of you can get that picture in your mind tonight, you knew what I was talking about? For just a few seconds I could see those toys.
And the Lord was impressing on my heart to pray for those who were going through the motions, just going through the motions, without having that touch of God in their lives. I don’t say that critical, because it wasn’t about anybody particular. I don’t say that critical.
But I just ask you, would you ask yourself tonight if there’s a possibility that you’re just going through the motions and you’re missing out on something in your heart, maybe while the Glory of the Lord and the heavens are open, as Sister April saw, maybe the Lord would just give you that touch tonight.
Maybe He would make it a little easier for you to reach out and touch Him. I believe if we could only perceive that the Lord not only desires for us to touch Him, but He desires to touch us; He desires to reach out to us… When we’re reaching out to Him, we can rest assure that the Lord is reaching out to us tonight.
It’s Done Already
November 19, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Betty Omilian
I was praying for someone, and a few times I prayed. And then I prayed and just like that, the Lord said, “It’s done already,” or something like that. And I thought, “Lord, I’m glad You’re going to do that.” And then the next day I prayed for someone else.
A voice came so quickly again, “It’s done already.” And then I began to think of God’s Word, of His promises, and everything that He’s promised, He said He’s already done it for us. And I thank God for everything that He is for His people.
Obedience to Fan the Fire of Revival
November 19, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
Just as bellows can be used to fan a fire, our obedience can be used to fire the revival. And I just thank the Lord.
Through Obedience, Satan Crumbled
November 19, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
When the children of Israel were in bondage, the people would walk by, and see if this sounds familiar. They would wag their heads and said, “They call themselves God’s people. Where is their God now?”
“But this day I have rolled the reproach of Egypt up off you.” And it goes on to say that within the year they were eating their fruits of Canaan. And God’s man turned around and seen a man standing there with a sword drawn.
And he asked Him, “Are you for us, or you for the enemy?” He said, “No.” He said, “But I am Captain of the Lord’s host.” And he said, “Take off your shoes, for this place where you are standing is holy ground.” And the children of Israel went forth, and they fought one of the greatest battles ever fought when they watched Satan’s defenses crumble at their feet. Through their obedience they watched all Satan’s defenses, all of his strong walls, crumble right at their feet.
Winds of Revival
November 19, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
I can feel the winds of revival as they blow across this place.
I can feel the winds of the Spirit.
I see You face to face.
I feel the winds of revival as they begin to blow.
We stand in Your Presence as we see You, Lord.
I can feel the winds of revival as they blow.
I can feel the winds of the Spirit, and I know
That our God shall ascend on our praises as we sing.
I can feel the winds of revival as they blow…
Capturing the Wind of the Spirit
November 19, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, while Sister Jan was speaking about the bellows… I didn’t see them until she said it. When she spoke it, I could see them. But just before that, I was seeing a windmill turning. And I couldn’t understand what I was seeing. I just kept seeing this big windmill like we’ve seen traveling in Holland. But I could just see it turning, turning, turning.
And the Lord said, “Many, many, many times I’ve blown over this place with the winds of My Spirit. Many, many times I’ve blown over this place with the winds of renewal and the winds of revival.” But the Lord said, “I’m getting ready to cause you to be like a windmill, and you’re going to catch the wind.” The Lord said, “I’m going to give you, by My Spirit, the wisdom and the knowledge as a people, to harness the wind.” And the Lord, “By harnessing and by capturing the wind, you’re going to see the purposes of the winds of My Spirit.
They’re not just to bless you. They’re not just to make you feel good.” But the Lord said, “I’m going to give you My wisdom, even as a windmill catches the wind, and it produces power,” the Lord said, “I’m going to give you the wisdom to capture the wind of My Spirit and the winds of revival. And you’re going to capture them even like the windmill.” And the Lord said, “By the blowing and the turning of the windmill, you’re going to produce the power. It’s not your power, but it’s going to be My Power.”
And the Lord said, “Not one wind of My Spirit, not one touch of My hand is going to go in vain, or is going to be wasted, because I’m going to teach you how to utilize the refreshing Spirit that I’m sending this way. And it’s not going to be wind just blowing all about in chaos.” But the Lord said, “It’s going to be wind with a purpose. The winds of revival are going to blow with a purpose. And I’m going to let you catch them (hallelujah) and harness them, so that something great can be accomplished in My Kingdom, says the Lord.” Hallelujah, hallelujah.
November 19, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Unleashing
Vision given to Jonathan Hollis
As I was down praying before the service, I saw a dam in the Spirit. And I saw water trickling over the top. It was coming out the floodgates. And oh, there was a great Water pouring over. But the Lord said He desires to send in an unleashing.
That Word He’s giving me right now was “Unleashing.” An unleashing of His Power, an unleashing of His Spirit, an overcoming portion. Hallelujah…
Would you just receive an unleashing of the Glory, an unleashing of the Spirit, an unleashing of His Power? Hallelujah… We receive. Hallelujah…
Prophesy Abundance
December 3, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
In the Book of Ezra, the building of the temple had started and then the adversaries managed to get it shut down. But then in the reign of King Darius, he opened a book of remembrance and he read where the temple was to be started again. And he said, “Give them everything that they need…”
Said, “Give it out of my storehouse, and give it out of the tribute money. As a, the only thing that I ask in return is that you pray for me and my sons.” And the Lord told me to prophesy “Abundance.”
God Will Magnify You Before the People
December 3, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
I want to give this prophecy that… I gave it to the man of God personally, and I knew that he would never tell it on his own. But I want the church to hear it.
In Joshua, before he went over into Canaan, he must have been struggling with the responsibility that was on his shoulders. But he said, “This day will I begin to magnify you in the eyes of the people.”
And when the Lord spoke that to him, he was able to come next service and say how this woman had been listening and she had heard the sermon on the radio. And how God had delivered her house of the Satanic influences of her house.
And I want the people to be, to have your ears very attentive to what God’s doing through the man of God, as God magnifies him before the people, not only us. And I have one more thing to tell you. “I love you, New Hope Revival Center. I love you so much.”
Lift Up Your Faith & Believe Me
December 3, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
If you could lift up your faith and believe Me, not even cancer would be able to stand in your way. Oh hallelujah. Hallelujah. And you know, I don’t want to put fear in somebody’s heart. But we don’t know what’s working in our body right now. How many of you know we don’t know what’s working in our bodies right now?
But it may not be for us, it may be for Sister Denise. It might be for somebody else. I don’t know who it’s for. But He said, if you could just lift up your faith and believe me tonight, not even cancer would be able to stand in your way. (Tongues) Kingdom authority, let it pour out. Oh hallelujah.
Would you just let the Lord catch you in the flow, in the crimson flow? Would you just let the Glory spout of the Lord be poured out in your life for a few moments right now? Hallelujah. I’m thanking the Lord for what I feel. And if you haven’t felt Him yet, press on. Press on just another few moments. Press on. Hallelujah… Glory to God. (Tongues) Hallelujah.
The Greater Anointing that Silences the Devil
December 3, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given by Brother Shelley
I see some of you standing tonight under that flow. Like a waterfall. Hallelujah. And I can see the Glory of the Lord coming like a waterfall and cascading down over you and spilling around you. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. God wants to bring somebody into that flow of Glory again. He wants to bring somebody into that flow of anointing again.
Oh, I know the Lord has heard my prayers. I’ve been praying for that greater anointing, that greater anointing that silences the devil. That greater anointing that silences the criticism. That greater anointing, hallelujah, that causes things to be done.
I don’t want to be somebody who just talks about it, but I want to be somebody who helps bring it to pass. (Tongues) Oh, Glory to the Lamb. Glory to the Lamb. Press on just a few more moments. I’m not trying to work you up. I’m trying to get you to press into that that I’ve already been feeling. Hallelujah. (Tongues) The same. There is only one way to touch Him, you must believe when you call on His Name…
Sing with me again.
“Touching Jesus…”
Continue to reach out for the Lord. Hear me. Continue to reach out for the Lord for a few moments. Hallelujah. I’m not trying just to tarry or drag out. Oh hallelujah. But I’ve sensed this whole service that the enemy wanted to muffle us. Oh, he wanted to stifle us from receiving what the Lord has for us tonight. (Tongues)
Hallelujah… “If I could but touch the hem of His garment…”
Don’t be afraid to lift your voice. Don’t be afraid to lift your voice to the Lord. (Tongues) If I could but touch some part of His robe… Lift up your hands.
The Final Harvest
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
I hear the Lord saying, “You’ve only seen the first fruits of the harvest. You’ve only began to see the first fruits. But yea, the Lord would say, as you go out, saith the Lord, you’re going to begin to see the final harvest. And yea, in the first fruits you only saw here and there; you only saw this one here and there, yea, that one here and there. You only saw the minor, saith the Lord.
But you’re about to begin to see the greater, yea, the greater harvest, the final harvest, saith the Lord. It is about to begin to spring forth in the earth, saith the Lord. As you sow, as you sow, as you sow, even in prophetic intercession, you shall reap greatly. Yea, that which you sow, you shall reap also, saith the Lord. So greatly and you shall reap greatly, saith the Lord.”
Out of the Stones I Will Raise Up Children
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Joyce Greeley
Even as I’ve spoken, that out of these stones I can raise up children, seed of Abraham, so out of stony hearts will I raise up a harvest, hearts that have been made stony by the pulls of the world, such as drugs, alcohol, and fornication, but also hearts that have been made stony by bitterness and by religion. And out of these stones will I raise up children of faith, seed of Abraham.
I Am in the Midst
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Spiritual Song, Sung through Brother Shelley
I am in the midst. (Tongues.) Hallelujah, hallelujah…
Bring Me your needs. Bring Me your burdens.
I am in the midst. I am in the midst.
Bring Me your cares. Bring Me every concern.
Bring Me all confusion.
I am in the midst. I am in the midst.
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Where you are weak, I shall be made strong.
Where you are needy, I shall fulfill.
I am in the midst. I am in the midst. (Tongues.)
Bring Me every burden.
Cast all your fear upon Me, and I will give you courage.
Stand, I say, stand. Stand,
I say, stand, in the boldness of your God.
Do not fear, for I have given thee authority over all the powers of the enemy.
I am in the midst. Give Me your body, saith the Lord.
Give Me your body, saith the Lord,
And I will give you healing this morning.
Yea, I shall speak to that need.
Yea, I shall release My virtue into your body, saith the Lord.
I am in the midst. I am in the midst. Hallelujah.
I see you in the valley of decision.
I see you halting between two opinions.
Cast it on Me, and I shall give thee wisdom,
Not the wisdom of man or the wisdom of years,
But I shall give thee My wisdom.
You shall know My wisdom.
You shall know My understanding.
You shall know My will, saith the Lord.
You shall know My will. For the Lord would say,
Many of you shall never enter into the new year not knowing My will,
Not knowing My will, not knowing My will.
For I shall make it clear.
If you’ll come to Me, saith the Lord,
I shall make My will so clear.
Not only in your ear but in your heart.
For I am in the midst. I am in the midst. (Tongues.)
For the Lord would say unto thee,
Let this be a moment of soaking.
Let this be a moment of basking.
Let this be a moment of drawing strength,
For strength is here. I said strength is here.
The strength of the Lord is here. Let this be a moment.
Don’t wait until the end. Don’t wait until another time.
Right now, right now, right now, soak in. Draw in, draw in, draw in.
Somebody draw in. Draw in, draw in the strength of the Lord.
Draw it in. Hallelujah. Lord, we need that strength.
Oh, we need that wisdom. Hallelujah, hallelujah… (Tongues.)
Let your spirit just begin to sing,
“Amen.”
Amen.Don’t let it just be from your lips, but let your heart say,
“Amen.”
So be it, Lord. So be it. So be it in my life.As it has been spoken, so let it be fulfilled in my life. Hallelujah. (Tongues.)You don’t have to feel behind. You can be right on the edge.You can be right where God is moving in this moment if you’ll enter in (haha…)with praise.
It Is Time to Climb
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Spirit of the Lord is also saying to me this morning that many of us have still become a little lax or relaxed while clinging to the mountain. And the Lord is saying for me to share that it’s time to climb. It’s time to climb. Growth and progress are painful. Sometime we know that, so we like to stay where we are, licking our wounds, rubbing our sore muscles from the last fight.
But the Lord said, “I’m calling you to climb this morning in My Spirit.” Hallelujah. “I’m calling you to climb a little higher. And look to My strength. I want to make…” I say, the Lord is desiring to make His strength known to you. When you’re weak, you’re leaning on Him. When you’re needy, you’re looking to Him. Hallelujah.
Look to the Strength of Zion
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord is saying in my spirit that when we have seen Mount Zion, we have seen it as a place where weakness is exposed, our journey up Mount Zion into God’s perfection. And we’ve looked at Mount Zion as a place where weaknesses are exposed and where shortcomings are revealed, and where that thing, that hindrance on the inside of us comes out because we’re climbing. And when you’re climbing, you’re working shoulder to shoulder or climbing near someone, you learn about one another, and you learn about yourself.
But the Lord said this morning that we need to start looking at Mount Zion not as a place of weakness or a place of mistakes or a place of shortcomings. All of that is there, and it causes… It comes out. We see it. But the Lord said we need to start looking to the strength of Zion. And we need to see that the mountain of the Lord is a strong place. It’s a defense. It’s a place of protection.
And God wants you to see that even when you’re climbing, and when mistakes are coming out, and when weaknesses are revealed, God said all you have to do is trust in the strength of Mount Zion. That’s the people of God. We see it as a mountain, but we know that it’s made up of the people of God. We need to start seeing the… I feel the strength of the Lord this morning.
But I feel it coming from the believer. I feel it coming from the believer. There is strength in me this morning. There’s strength working in me this morning, driving out weakness. Hallelujah. Didn’t He say in weakness the Lord’s strength is made perfect? So may we start looking on our weakness this morning for a few moments, and may we start seeing the strength of the Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah…
Footsteps Means Possession Anointing
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord said for me to declare it again. “The feet that have staggered and the feet that have stumbled will stumble no more. They’ll stagger no more. But they shall be rooted and grounded in My Word.” Hallelujah. “And upon My promises they shall stand.” Hallelujah. (Tongues.)
Keep the Glory of the Lord moving. Keep the Glory of the Lord moving. You sisters come and stand behind these brothers. Let’s let the whole body pull together right now. Let’s let the whole body pull together right now. This isn’t about what we feel. It’s about obeying God. God said He loved obedience better than all sacrifice. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Touch somebody that’s touching somebody. Put your hand on somebody that’s got their hand on somebody else, and let’s release this thing. Everyone would be welcome to help us. Hallelujah. A going-in-Anointing. A footstep-means-possession Anointing. Hallelujah.
Taking back that which the enemy has stolen, taking back that which the enemy has sapped out of us, taking back that which the enemy has stolen away, has robbed away, and taking new ground, new ground in the Word, new ground in the Spirit that we’ve never stood on before. Strengthen the legs. Strengthen the feet of everybody spiritually. Let us stand together. (Tongues.) Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Lord, we take You at Your Word this morning. We have no reason to doubt that You’re able to bring to pass that which You have spoken. We lay hands on our brother, because he represents every one of us in this act of intercession.
And we believe, oh God, that You will truly anoint him, and that You will truly anoint each one of us to stand. In the past we might have staggered. In the past we might have wandered. But I thank You for the establishing of our feet. I thank You for the strengthening. (Tongues.)
Don’t Be Afraid to Take New Steps of Faith
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I just had one other thing to say. I could hear the Spirit saying, “Don’t be afraid to take new steps of faith.” Hallelujah. To the Body this morning, “Don’t be afraid. That Anointing is coming.” It’ll give you faith to take a hold of all that was promised to you. Hallelujah
The Release of Joshua Anointing in 2001
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
This morning as I was sitting there, He spoke to me, and He said, “The year Two-Thousand-and-One is going to be the release of a Joshua Anointing.” And I didn’t want to tell that for some different reasons. But He said it’s going to be the year of a going-in-Anointing like never before. When I was standing here he said some other things to me about that, and I thought I’d just save it.
The Feet That Have Staggered Shall Be Stable
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
In fact, the Lord said… In fact, the Lord said, “The feet that have staggered will no longer stagger, but they shall be stable. They shall be rooted and they shall be grounded upon that which I have spoken.” Hallelujah So all of us here that have had staggering feet, every one of us that have had stumbling, staggering feet, let the Lord release that “going-in anointing” to you right now, that’ll give you faith to go in. Hallelujah.
Everybody lift your voice to the Lord. Father, we obey that which You’ve shown. We don’t always understand. We’re mortals and we tremble when You speak in our hearts. But I thank You for bringing the confirmation this morning so beautifully, so accurately. I thank You for what You did.
And now, Lord, I’m not asking You to let us feel anything. I’m just asking You to drive that down into our hearts, that we’re getting ready to stand in a way that we’ve never stood before. I don’t know why You showed me Brother Mike. I don’t know why You showed me Brother Greeley. But Lord, whatever they represent, we claim the promise of God for this whole body. I feel the… (Tongues.)
A Heart Transplant
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I didn’t know it, but I see that heart transplant that Sister Joyce was speaking about this morning. Maybe she didn’t know that’s what she was speaking about. But God said, “I’ll take that stony heart, and I’ll put a fleshy heart there, oh, one that I can speak in, one that I can move through, one that I can beat through (Hallelujah), one that I can live through.”
How many of you’d like that heart transplant? Oh God, take out this old hard heart, hardened by life, hardened by troubles, hardened by pressures, hardened by misunderstanding. But Lord, I want to give You this heart. I want You to give me a heart that trembles at Your Word. I want You to give me a heart that is sensitive to the visitation of the Lord.
Bridging the Chasm
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see the bridging of the chasm. I see the bridging of the chasm. Hallelujah. I see the breach being mended this morning. I see the Lord building the bridge. The Lord said that hurdle in your life that you couldn’t jump over, that chasm, that valley, that you’ve stood there in fear, the Lord said, it looked like, in your mind, at times, that you could jump it. It looked like at times you could make it.
But you hesitated for fear, because it was, in your estimation it was a little too far, and you were afraid, even though you thought you could, you were afraid to make that leap of faith, because you were afraid of missing and not getting enough foothold on the other side of the chasm. But the Lord said, “This morning I’m laying a bridge.” Hallelujah.
I can see as it were, the Lord would just lay down across that chasm and let you walk right across His back (Hallelujah), spiritually. God said, “I’ll be the bridge to the other side.” The chasm is closing for some of you this morning if you’ll claim it. Somebody said, “How do I get that? How do I make that promise activated in my life?”
You just reach up with a heart of faith and say, “That one’s mine, that one’s mine, that one’s mine. And I don’t care if everybody else in the House takes it home, I’m taking my part home.” Hallelujah, hallelujah. (Tongues.) Hallelujah, hallelujah.
The Going-in-Anointing
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But as I was standing here, I had a vision, and I saw Brother Greeley anointing Brother Mike’s feet, his shoes. And I had that vision. And I hesitated to mention it. But the answer to it came, that Brother Mike would be used as a type of the church. And you say to me that a woman would be a better type of the church.
But God showed me Brother Greeley anointing Brother Mike’s shoes and praying. As a body we’ll join in prayer, concerning that going-in-Anointing. How do you go in? You don’t go in with your hands. You go in with your feet. Isn’t that right?
And I said, “Lord, you see the fear that’s in my heart to speak that. And if this is… If Sister Propst is flowing in that same anointing that You’re speaking to me through, You’ll send her to him. And I don’t care what she says. If You’ll just send her to Brother Mike, I’ll obey You.”
Now, I said I don’t believe we ought to play with things. I don’t believe we ought to do like that. I’m not advising anybody to operate that way, because I didn’t doubt that God was moving. But there was a little bit of fear in my heart to ask Brother Mike to come and stand, not for any reason, except I just don’t… I didn’t want to tarry the service. But I believe that was the confirmation that I needed.
Brother Greeley, would you get the oil? And Brother Mike would you come? And you’re standing for all of us. (Tongues.) I believe it’s an act of prophetic obedience to release that Joshua Anointing, that going in Anointing (hallelujah), standing on the promises of God’s Word this morning.
Reach your hand this way, and let us ask the Lord to release that going in Anointing to Brother Mike, and to release it to the whole body as… I just felt in the Spirit to have some of the rest of you brothers come and stand around. Come and stand in close right now. This is God. (Tongues.) It’s not only for Brother Mike we’re praying. We’re praying for the release for the whole body. But we’re praying strength into the feet.
New Growth Coming Forth Out of Our Lives
December 10, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw something sprouting forth in the Spirit. I saw that new growth. You know what it looks like on your azaleas, when the new growth comes out from the old growth? The new growth is not as thick and strong as the old growth. But it’s just those new shoots, and you can come next year and cut off the new growth, and it’ll grow even farther.
But I just saw in the Spirit the new growth coming forth out of our lives. And I heard the voice of the Lord say that that new growth was going to overtake the old growth, that it was going to grow beyond that that had ever grown before. Hallelujah. And there was going to be new growth, more new growth than there was old. Hallelujah.
Praise be to God. Let that promise activate in your spirit, that you could grow in the Lord like you’ve never grown before. Is that your desire? Is that what you’d like for the Lord to do? Hallelujah. Let’s praise Him together.
Fixing the House of God
December 17, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
You know, that was the second thing the Lord gave me in a prophetic word, second thing that I never mentioned. Second thing was, God said, “I want you to organize some people to fix this building up.”
I said, “Lord, the first prophetic sign that You told us, act of prophetic intercession to start our way out was washing feet and repenting one to another. The second one seems to take on a different aspect altogether.”
And God gave me a real rebuke as I was waiting on the Lord. And he took me to David. I preached it, but I didn’t go into it that morning, how that God was speaking to David. David said, “I looked at my house, and I looked at where God was dwelling.” Oh, it’s quiet. Said, “I looked at my house, and I looked where God was dwelling. Smote my heart. I got out and tried to do what I could.”
There’s things that we need to do around here to fix this building up so that we can sell it. And God spoke it. It wasn’t just a preacher’s idea. It was God’s voice to me. He said, “I want you to get the people together.” And we’re going to do that this winter.
Breath of God
December 17, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Anne Tremain
When we parked the car, I, we were walking to the church, and that wind was a little brisk. But it was like the breath of God on my face, on my neck. And at the same time that that hit me in the face here in this area, I felt the quickening of the Holy Ghost on me.
I tell you, it’s a feeling I haven’t had in a while and I really praised the Lord. I hesitated to tell this, but maybe it’ll help someone else. It sure did help me. Glory to God.
Come & Renew Your Covenant
December 17, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Brother Johnson & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, you have said in your heart, “I am not turned from the Lord. I love the Lord and I want to serve the Lord.” But yea, the Lord thy God would say unto thee, it’s not only the one who would go completely in the other direction, but yea, it is also the one who would yield in any small way to the temptation of the enemy, saith the Lord.
Yea, I have seen you, saith the Lord. And I’ve seen you take those small steps away from Me, away from the altar, away from My Word, away from My Presence, saith the Lord. Yea, knowest thou not that you’ve grown lukewarm in your own spirit? Knowest thou not, saith the Lord, that You’ve grown cold and stagnated, stale?
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, Yea, it’s not in the one only who would go and walk to completely different walk, but it’s that one that would let the root of bitterness, the root of resentment, saith the Lord, enter into their heart. And they would not serve Me with the full potential that they have served Me with in the past.
Yea, I call to thee. I call to thee, “Renew thyself. Renew thy vow. Renew thy commitment to Me.” For the Lord would say unto thee, I am calling you. Yea, it is not by coincidence that I have passed this way and called you tonight to renew yourself to Me. Yea, I say, “Come and renew your covenant with the Lord.” Yea, I shall set you free. Yea, I shall use you, saith the Lord. (Tongues) Some of us haven’t made enough room for the Lord. He’s calling us. He’s used this brother tonight to call us.
Revival for Peru & Bolivia
December 17, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Brother Roy Johnson & Interpretation given Brother Shelley
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night. Yea, I’m getting ready to lay the groundwork, saith the Lord. For yea, I desire to send a wave of My Glory to Peru. And yea, I the Lord thy God, desire to open Revival for Bolivia.
Yea, the strongholds of the enemy have come to keep My Spirit from moving freely. And yea, the people have denominationalized, and they have organized, and they have held on to the creeds of man, even though they confess to be delivered from such. But yea, I the Lord thy God, am getting ready to lay the groundwork for a sweeping move of My Spirit in that land, saith the Lord. And it shall not be for Peru and Bolivia only, but yea, I shall cover South and Central America.
Yea, it shall not be a Revival of emotion. Yea, it shall not be a Revival of outward manifestation alone, but yea, I shall call out My Bride, saith the Lord. I shall seek after those that are Mine. And miracles shall take place. For I am sending My sign, saith the Lord, unto those who have cried and fasted for Revival, saith the Lord.
I Desire to Reveal My Heart
December 19, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
For yea, you know Me, saith the Lord, in the Power of My Word. Yea, you have known Me, saith God, by the things I’ve spoken. You’ve known Me for what you’ve seen of Me, saith the Lord. You’ve known My deeds; you’ve known My actions. But yea, I desire to reveal unto you a new way this night.
And yea, in the season to come, saith the Lord, I desire to reveal unto you my heart, saith the Lord, that part that you’ve never known before, saith the Lord, the deepest part of Me. I desire to reveal unto you My heart. I desire to reveal unto you that which you’ve never known. Yea, let Me reveal it unto you, saith the Lord.
Yea, if you will release the scales from your eyes, let Me remove the curtains from your eyes and the veil, saith the Lord, that you might see Me, that you might see Me, saith the Lord, saith the Lord.
Feast in My Word
December 19, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
For I say unto you this night, many of you have not supped. Many of you are seeking, are seeking are seeking, but you must feed on My Word. Have that desire. Cry and ask for that desire… [Unclear audio] Feast in My Word. Feast in My Word. Yearn to be with Me. Talk with Me.

Persistence
December 19, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Greeley
As Brother Jonathan was speaking, prophesying that the Lord wanted to reveal to us His heart, such a contrasting thing came to my spirit. That was the story of Samson and Delilah.
Delilah desired to know Samson’s heart. She desired to know the secret of his heart. And it was only because that she was persistent that she found the heart of Samson. And that was the word that the Lord put into my spirit. “Only if you’re persistent, will you find My heart. Only if you’re persistent, then will I show the Bride My secrets. Persistence.”
Peru & Bolivia Are Just the Beginning
December 19, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As I was praying this afternoon, the Lord just inspired me to know that Peru and Bolivia was just the beginning. I could see Colombia opening up in a wonderful way. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Just the beginning. Praise God.
Standing on the Brink of the Anointing
December 24, 2000 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy Word given through Brother Shelley
Know this. Know this, saith the Lord. Know this, saith the Lord, that I am the same. Yea, and know that what I have done, I can do. And know that what I have done, I will do. Know that I have not changed, saith the Lord. And know that it is My desire to give thee that which you have need of.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, you have heard it spoken that abundance will come. But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall give thee an abundance upon an abundance, and I shall add to thee, saith the Lord, measure upon measure. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, you shall walk in healing, and you shall walk in victory, saith the Lord. And many shall know My deliverance.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this morning, you’re standing on the brink of that anointing to go in, and that anointing to possess My Word, and to possess My promises, saith the Lord. Look to Me and live. Turn your head, saith the Lord, from your circumstances, and refuse to look on what you see and what you hear. Refuse the devil’s report this morning and look to Me and find Life.
For it is My delight to prove to you that I am God, and I will do the exceeding abundant among you, saith the Lord. And even many of you shall begin to walk in the power of My spoken Word, calling those things that are not as though they were. And you shall Me bring it to pass.
For when My people shall live the life that I have asked of them, and they shall live in faith and obedience to My Word, then they shall speak and the angels of the Lord will hasten to perform that which you speak. For the Lord would say unto thee, this day I declare unto thee as a day of victory. Rejoice in the Lord today, and you shall know sweet victory in the coming days, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
Lily of the Valley
December 24, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Anne Tremain
When we were standing there worshiping the Lord, I had to quit dancing because I got tired. But the Lord visited me. And I thought I smelled the perfume of the Lillies of the Valley. And I’ve had that before, but not real often. And I wanted to ask the girls beside me if they smelled that.
But when I started smelling that, I knew He was near me. I knew He was here. And my legs don’t hurt right now, and my shoulders don’t hurt right now. I know the Lord has different ways of ministering, that we can receive it the way He means it. And I love Him. I love Him so much, Jonathan.
I Will Give You Wisdom & Knowledge
December 24, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst

Strongholds & Poverty Broken over Peru & Bolivia
December 24, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see strongholds being broken over Peru. I see a spirit of poverty being broken over Bolivia. Hallelujah Jesus.
The God of the Impossible
December 26, 2000 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Know that you have not because you ask not, saith the Lord. I say you have not because you ask not. But yea, if you would ask of Me, I am a God of the impossible. Yea, it is those things that I delight in, saith the Lord, the things that you cannot do, the things that you cannot perform.
Yea, I get glory out of that, saith the Lord. And yea, if you shall ask of Me, I shall do that which you think is impossible. I shall do that which you cannot see, saith the Lord, that which is beyond your own strength.
Yea, My arm is not shortened that it cannot save. It is not shortened that it cannot heal. Yea, reach up and believe Me, saith the Lord, and know that I shall do that thing that you ask of me speedily, saith the Lord. I shall do it unto thee, as you lift your faith up to Me and believe.
Hallelujah, hallelujah… Ask the Lord tonight. Hallelujah. Ask the Lord tonight for whatever you need. He said, “I’m the God of the impossible. I am the God of the impossible. Hallelujah. That which you can’t do, He can do. Hallelujah… Somebody give Him praise right now. Hallelujah… (Worship)
The Lord is doing something tonight. I feel expectation building. Hallelujah. I feel faith building. Hallelujah… Don’t ask how. I hear the Lord saying don’t ask how He’s going to do it. Just believe He’s going to believe it. Don’t ask how. Just let Him do it. Hallelujah, hallelujah… I don’t know the how. I don’t know the how, but I know the Who. Hallelujah…
The End of the Second Day
December 28, 2000 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
But I considered the seriousness of these words this afternoon in my study. And I said, “Lord, I’ll not be able to tie what you’re doing in the Spirit to a calendar, because I’ve already preached God doesn’t use the Gregorian calendar. Nor does He use the Jewish calendar. He has His own calendar. They’re both corrupted over the years. But I do believe in seasonal changes and transitions.
And I want a Word from the Lord. “Lord, I want a Word from You. I want to know in my spirit tonight if we’re coming to the end.” The Lord spoke into my spirit. I grabbed the pen that’s in my pocket and I began to write it down. And I heard the same that’s led me over these years speak to me.
And He said, “It is the end of the second day.” You know, brother. That was all I needed. You may need more. You may need God to speak to you. You may need a dream. You may need a vision. You may need four or five more to stand up tonight and confirm it. But His Voice was all that I needed, because He was preparing me for this day even in ‘99, when He began to speak these things.
Burning the Campground Mortgage
December 29, 2000 (Friday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But I saw something burning. I could see it before my eyes. I saw something burning. And I wondered what it was. I could tell that it was a document, and it was burning. And the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and He said, “If you’ll trust Me, I’ll allow you to burn the mortgage on the campground.” Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
December 29, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Mortgage Burning
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But I saw something burning. I could see it before my eyes. I saw something burning. And I wondered what it was. I could tell that it was a document, and it was burning. And the spirit of the Lord spoke to me and He said, “If you’ll trust Me, I’ll allow you to burn the mortgage of the campground.”
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
The New Is You
December 30, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, for the Lord would say unto thee this night. Yea, I the Lord thy God desired to bring thee from the old into the new. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, when you think about the new, saith the Lord, you desired to know what the new is. Yea, you’re looking for new methods. Maybe you’re looking for a new way of doing things.
But yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee tonight, the new is you. And you are the new. Yea, you are the new thing, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall do the new thing in you, for I am calling you out of the old and into the new. You shall be changed, saith the Lord. You that will follow on to know Me, you that will push your way in, you that will press even tonight, the Lord would say unto thee, the new thing shall be you, and you shall be new.
Yea, the things round you may remain the same. Not every circumstance in your life will change. Maybe not everyone around you will change. But look not for that kind of change, saith the Lord, but look for the change that I desire to perform in you. For I say unto thee, I call you out of the old and into the new. For I declare tonight, “The old is dead, and the new shall spring forth.”
Yea, the old is dead and the new ‘You’ shall step forth out of the shell, saith the Lord. You shall leave the old skin behind. Many of you shall leave the old idea behind, and the old thoughts and the old attitudes. Many of you will leave behind the old battles, yea, and the old wars of the flesh. For I call you to be the new. Will you be My new? Saith the Lord. I call you to be the new and the new shall be in you, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. You shall be the new.
Nothing as Important as Unity
December 30, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Aleta Ellsworth
Oh, my children, don’t you know… [Unclear audio] I need unity. What could be more important than unity? [Unclear audio] Place it in My hands. I will take those things from you if you’ll place it in My hands. Children, there’s nothing. There is nothing that is as important as unity.
The Last Could Be First
December 30, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord just spoke in my spirit and said for me to say that some of you who feel like that you would be the last to go in, you’ll be the first. The Lord said some of you standing here tonight feel like you have no choice, but you’d probably be the rear end, the last one to get in. But the Lord said if you’ll just put yourself in His hands tonight, instead of being the last, you’ll be the first. Hallelujah.
I saw several. I saw several people that I knew in my heart would be thinking, “You know, maybe I couldn’t… I’m held back, and I couldn’t be first.” But God said you can be the first; the last could be the first. Hallelujah.
Slip Out of the Old & Step into the New
December 30, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
I’ve had such a vivid picture today and last night and even in the service tonight, such a vivid picture. I’m going to ask Brother Shelley to turn around, because this is the picture that I’m seeing. This is a vision that he had where he was going through a door. The enemy had him by the suspenders. Remember the vision? That’s what I’m seeing tonight again, people trying to go through the door, and the enemy has a hold of you.
But I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, “Some of us are going to have to be like Joseph when Potiphar’s wife tried to get a hold of him. We’re going to have to slip out of the old. We’re going to have to slip out of some of those garments, some of those heavy weights that have held us down for so long. We’re going to have to slip out of them so that we can step from obscurity to visibility. We’re going to have to step out of those things to step into the new, that going in anointing. Hallelujah.
Sanctify Yourselves for the Day of Visitation
December 30, 2000 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Evelyn Fox
When we were worshiping a while ago, I just… I could see. It was just like we were standing at the foot of Mount Sinai. We were looking to the top of the mountain. And I heard these words, “Sanctify yourselves for the days of visitation of your God.”
Brother Shelley:
Let her say it again (So turn it up loud, so we can hear it).
Evelyn Fox:
I said it was like we were standing at the foot of Mount Sinai looking up. And I heard these words, “To sanctify yourselves for the days of the visitation of our God.”
Stepping into the Throne Room
December 31, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
And yea, the Lord saith unto thee this night. Not only for Ezekiel, not only for John, not only for Daniel, not only for Moses, saith the Lord, but also for you. For yea, many of you in the next year, yea, ye shall enter the Throne Room. For you’ve desired and I’ve spoken unto thee prophetically, that you shall enter the Throne Room.
And yea, many shall step into the Throne Room in the coming year, saith the Lord. Ye shall step in. Ye shall go in. Yea, it is the going-in, saith the Lord. It is the going-in that shall be for thee.
Yea, ye shall go into the Throne Room and you shall beckon others to come, saith the Lord. You shall beckon others to come. Prepare yourselves, saith the Lord. Prepare your heart. Prepare your heart. Hallelujah. Make yourself ready to stand before My Throne. Hallelujah…
This Is the Appointed Time
December 31, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
I want us to make that prophetic act, stepping out for the old and into the new. The guard has changed, the order has changed, the second day is behind us and we’re moving into the third day. The day of the reviving of the Lord, the day of the raising up of the Lord.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, I have not only led you into Canaan, but yea, I shall give you overcoming power over every enemy in the land. And yea, ye shall utterly drive them out of the way, for I have given you the land as a possession, saith the Lord. You shall surely walk in victory. You shall be able to speak My Word, and watch things happen, saith the Lord.
For I am placing upon thee even now the anointing of an overcomer, the anointing of a possessor. For you shall surely raise up in the Spirit of Joshua, and you shall go forth and lead others forth.
For the Lord would say unto thee, this is the year to take back what the enemy has taken from you, saith the Lord. And this is the year to step into the things that I have promised you. For the Lord would say unto thee, think not that it is far off. Think not that it is for another year or another time. But I say unto thee in this hour, that this is the day and this is your year, and this is the time, saith the Lord. For I have called you for this purpose, and you shall surely know My purposes in your life in these coming days.
The Lord would say unto thee, “Do not be afraid, for I will give you what you need to overcome every obstacle in your way. Rise up, My children, in the power of My Spirit, and claim that possession. For I have given thee the mountain,” saith the Lord. “I have given thee the land as thy possession.”
And the Lord would say unto thee, that in whatsoever place the sole of your foot shall tread, I shall give you that ground, I shall give you that blessing, I shall give you that deliverance. For the Lord would say unto thee, this is the appointed time, saith the Lord.
Discerning the Mind of Your Enemy
December 31, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I’ve heard things that you wouldn’t believe concerning surveillance and spying and knowing the secrets. That’s why they go to such great lengths. It’s because if you can know what’s in the mind of your enemy, then you can know what his next move is going to be, and you can prepare to counterattack.
And the Spirit of the Lord said, that’s what’s going to make the battle easier. Is, I’m going to… I didn’t know Brother Greeley was going to reveal, was going to speak about God revealing the reasons why tonight. I didn’t know he was going to use that quote. But God was teaching me this afternoon in the Spirit. He was letting me know. He said, “That’s why the battles are going to be easier, is because before they ever come, I’m going to let My people know where they’re coming from and what the devil intends to do.”
And He even said in my spirit and I wrote it down. He said, “I’ll even warn her on who the devil is going to use. And she’ll be ready for that man or that woman when they get there.” Hallelujah. Oh brother, let me tell you who you are. You’re the Bride of Jesus Christ. You’re Mrs. Jesus Christ and God loves you.
Sure, you’re going to have a battle, but God desires to give you such wisdom and such holy knowledge and fill you so full of His Holy Ghost power, that you are able to discern the mind of your enemy.
Give Me My Mountain
December 31, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I was sitting there in my seat and I began to shake in the Presence of the Lord because I had a vision of an old man standing before me with an old beard and a staff in his hand. And he began to shake with some fervor in his face.
And I didn’t know what I was seeing. If I was seeing Joshua or who I was seeing. But the Lord began to let me know what I was seeing, because he began to cry out. “Give me my mountain.”
I said, “That’s Caleb.” I know who that is. Caleb is the one that said I was promised a mountain. Forty years ago Moses said that if I would be faithful, I could have a mountain. And he said, “I aim to get my mountain. Don’t look at me as an old man and think that I don’t want my mountain. I want my mountain.”
He was also eighty-five years when he got his mountain. He said, “I’m not old and I’m not feeble. I want my mountain.” And God said, “That’s the going in. That’s the going in.” He said, “Don’t you take people back to the crossing of the Jordan. They’ve already made that crossing.” Oh hallelujah. That ought to bless your blesser. I said, “Ok, Lord. I’m not taking them back to the crossing of the Jordan.”
He said, “if you take them back there, then you’re telling them that the greatest days of fighting are ahead.” He said, “I don’t want you to sow that into their spirit. I don’t want you to sow into their spirit that their greatest battles are ahead. I want you to sow into My people that their greatest battles are behind them and they’re getting ready to take their possessions.” Hallelujah…
A New Order for a New Day
December 31, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
God spoke in my spirit, just before Sister Elfrieda called. And He said, “Remember, I gave you that message, ‘The Changing of the Guard.?’”
“Yes, Lord.”
And He said, “I’m going to establish a new order for the new day.” Oh hallelujah. “I’m not only giving a new day, but I’m going to have a new order of doing things.”
And I said, “Lord…” In years past I would have said, “Wait a minute. You know it can’t be new.” But God already established in our heart that He can do a new thing. Oh yes. He’s established it in my heart. He can do a new thing. And I said, “Lord. What’s that new order for the new day?”
He said, “It’s going to be complete leadership.” God made me a promise today that I’m holding Him to. If you think that sounds blasphemous, you worry about. I’m not worried about it. I don’t think it is at all. God made me a promise today, sitting in my den, that I’m going to hold Him to. He said, “In the new year, you’re going to know My leadership in a way that you have never known My leadership before. When you have a question in your heart, I’m going to give you the answer by the Holy Spirit.” Hallelujah.
Praise God. When you wonder where I would have you to go, before you express it, I’ll have the answer for you. Hallelujah. I tell you, that’s a new order for a new day. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. In the second day, I will revive you. And in the third day, I will raise you up. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Hallelujah…

For Such a Time as This
December 31, 2000 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As I was coming on the platform, I looked at the King of Kings’ banner. I saw the crown and the diadem moved away, and I saw the clock face that Sister Whittaker put on the banner, “For Such a Time as this.” I saw it right there imposed over the, over the King of Kings’ banner. And I know I didn’t miss it because I could see the links of the chain that were coming down.
And I know the Lord was giving me even just then in the Spirit another confirmation, “For Such a Time as This.” Hallelujah…. It was coming into that third day, that Esther revealed who she was to the king.
Here we are. Here we are. Drag around in the old order if you want to. Hang around on the other side of Jordan, if you want to. But I’m going to fight my way through the kings of the land until God establishes my portion. Hallelujah. Oh yes, we’re hearing a prophetic word from the Lord.
