Getting a Look at Ourselves Inwardly
January 6, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I have no idea what this means. But the Spirit of the Lord… I mean, I could guess. But the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and He said, “There are people that are getting ready to get a good look at themselves.” There are going to be circumstances and situations in your life that you’re going to get a real look at yourself, and not liking what you see. You’re going to make it all alright with Him. Hallelujah.
Isn’t that what we really desire anyway? Is that God would let us get a look at ourselves? I don’t know why or who, or how or what it has to do with. But God’s going to let you look inwardly, because of the circumstances moving around you. The things that are happening that are grievous to you, it’s going to cause you to look inward. Hallelujah. You’re going to make peace with God.
There are others here tonight, and there are others who are not here tonight, that are going to find that inward searching going on, by the drawing and the convicting of the Spirit. Hallelujah. (Tongues) Hallelujah.
Year of Reconciliation
January 6, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I’m receiving a Word from the Lord right now for you. And the Lord is saying in my spirit to proclaim to you that not only is this going to be the year of restitution. But the Lord said for me to give you another Word. He said, “This is going to be a great year of reconciliation.” Hallelujah. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus.
The Lord is saying in my spirit to tell you, I’m not going to be the only one that gets some “I’m sorry’s” this year. But there are going to be some family situations that some of you represent here in this House tonight, that you’re going to see reconciliation in this year.
There’s going to be some church acquaintances and friends that reconciliation is going to begin this year. Would you give the Lord a praise? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Somebody lift your voice.
Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus. Oh, I claim it. Lord, I embrace it. Because you have believed the Truth, those wedges that the enemy has driven in your life with some of your loved ones, because you’ve stood for the Truth, the Lord desires this year to bring reconciliation, to remove all of those wedges, (hallelujah) and let there be peace. So that you can fellowship on the things that you agree on.
Leave the things you disagree with, alone, so that God can deal with their heart. I see that the Lord desires to deal heavy in conviction. Hallelujah. Reconciliation. Thank You, Jesus. Hallelujah. I see chains being mended together. These are not chains of bondage. But I see chains that have linked us together, that the enemy has cut asunder. I see the Lord desiring to mend those chains. I hear the Spirit of God calling them “Love ties.” He desired to renew those love ties. Hallelujah. Even people in this House tonight, that don’t really have an ought against somebody, but you know there is a closeness that’s been broken.
God desires to renew those love ties. It’ll come with forgiveness, if you can only forgive and put it behind you. (You’re holding on.) If there’s anybody here holding on to a, “He said, she said. He did, she did,” turn it loose right now. Turn it loose right now and say, “It doesn’t even matter. It doesn’t even matter. It’s not going to change one hair on my head. It’s not going to bring one grey hair back to brown, if I worry over it. I’m going to let it go right now, and let God renew us and bind us together. Hallelujah.
God’s Timing Stopped in Norway
January 6, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just had a vision, and I saw the face of a clock. And I saw that the hands of that clock have been moving, but they were moving very slow. And all of a sudden, I saw the hands of the clock stop at about 9:45. And the face of that clock was frozen at 9:45.
The Spirit of the Lord is speaking to me that people have stopped God’s timing in Norway. That people have stood in God’s way, and they have stopped the timing of the Lord from accelerating. And it only affected it for years by slowing it down.
I could see that the clock was losing a minute, and then it was losing a half hour. And finally, the clock was losing lots, several hours, until it finally stopped at nine-four… I could see the face of that clock again. It’s about 9:46, maybe 47.
(Sister Adelaida speaks in Tongues)
Thank You, Holy Ghost…
But the Lord is saying that the resistance of the people is going to start crumbling this year. The Lord said, even tonight some have realized that they have stood in My way. Some have come to the realization. They’ve not been able to express it to each other, but some have come to the realization that they are partially responsible for cutting off the flow of God’s Spirit.
Sister Elfrieda, I want you to check history and see if that 9:47 is significant in any way, the September of 1947. See if that means anything. I don’t know. It perhaps means nothing. But I’m wondering if it would perhaps mean some outpouring of the Spirit of God, or something in Norway at that time. I don’t know. Have no idea. We want to check that and see if it has any significance.
But by the power of the Holy Ghost, I believe that clock is ticking. I believe with all of my heart that God is going to release… That is a type of His timing. Isn’t that sad? I never thought of it that way. But we have slowed down the timing of the Lord. And slowed it down, and slowed it down by not being up with the Spirit. You know what I mean? I’m not saying it right, but by not walking right in tune with the Spirit, we have slowed down the time clock of God. And there it has happened in Norway.
But I see that God is going to release an acceleration over that nation among believers, those who are believing for… The Holy Ghost just said, “Those who are contending for the Word and the Spirit.” Brother, that narrows it down. That narrows it down to a dozen people, probably. Those who are contending for the Word and for the Spirit. Hallelujah.
Yes, some are accepting responsibility. Hallelujah.
But I see that God’s getting ready to repair the damage. The Lord said, since we were there, it has been a time of soul searching for some. Pride has brought resistance, but pride is going to crumble. Hallelujah. The clock over Norway of God’s timing is going to move again. Hallelujah…
I saw then in the Spirit that the clock was reading 11:30. Something has certainly caused it to move forward from nine, about 9:47 to 11:30. God’s getting ready to keep His promise. Would You give Him a praise? Hallelujah…
False Supernatural over Norway
January 6, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
The reason why I’m asking. And I’ve only seen him one time. But I just saw a quick vision of him. I don’t even know if he’s still alive. I guess he is. But I just saw a quick vision of him. And in this reference, the Lord said he represented the false supernatural over Norway.
So I don’t know if he just got close, or if his influence is spread some believers. I have no idea. I’ve never heard his name called in Norway. But I do know that Brother Rasmussen in Denmark used to follow him. In fact, he came here to his place to visit him.
But the Lord was showing me that has also been a stronghold. Even though you people have had no association with him, that spirit, that false anointing, so to speak, the false supernatural has been a stronghold.
I’ve not seen him in years, but I just saw him for a split second. And the Lord said, “That represents that false supernatural.” But God said, “I’m canceling that.” Hallelujah. Thank You, Jesus. Hallelujah.
I’ve never seen him but once in my life. But I just saw him just as plain as day. And I’m not against him. I don’t know anything about him. I just know what God just said. Hallelujah. “He’s canceling that false supernatural over Norway, and getting ready to send the real.” Hallelujah. Glory to God. (Tongues)
Yes. And the Lord said, “By fasting and prayer… By fasting and prayer. By fasting and prayer, I will cancel that false supernatural that has loomed over the nation of Norway, saith the Lord. And I shall send a moving of My Spirit. Yea, I shall send a stirring, saith the Lord, even as in days gone by. But this time, saith the Lord, it shall be rooted and established in the Truth.
A Word to Shake the Walls that Man Has Built Up
January 13, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this say, I am exalting My horn, saith the Lord. Yea, I’ve lifted it unto My lips and I’m sending forth a Word from My Throne. Who will hear the Word of the Lord this day? And hearken, saith the Lord. Who will hear My Word, saith God?
For yea, I am sending My Word to shake the walls which man hath built up. I am sending a Word which will shake the partitions, saith God. Yea, that which has divided man, saith the Lord. Yea, that which has kept you apart, saith God. I am sending a Word that shall shake those walls, and shake every dam, saith the Lord, that thou hast built up.
Yea, it shall shake, saith the Lord. Yea, from the high places even to the low places. Yea, it will shake on the mountains and in the valleys. Yea, it will shake, saith the Lord. Hear the Word of the Lord this day. Hear the Word of the Lord this day and hearken unto Me, for I am sending My Word unto thee this day, saith the Lord. Hallelujah…
New Thoughts of God
January 15, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
And yea, the Lord saith, did I not walk in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks? Yea, even so I walk in the midst of My people this night. And yea, I shall take that from thee which you do not want, saith the Lord. Yea, have not I promised that signs shall follow those who believe? They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. They shall speak with new tongues.
And yea, they shall cast out devils, saith the Lord. That which you do not want, yea, I shall take it from thy life this night, saith the Lord. Give it unto Me. Give it unto Me, saith God. It is not yours any longer, but surrender it to Me. Surrender your will. Yea, surrender your thoughts unto Me, saith the Lord. Cast down your thoughts and your imaginations, saith God. And yea, I shall give thee My mind. Yea, I shall give thee My thoughts, says the Lord. And yea, you shall think with the new thoughts of God. Hallelujah, hallelujah…
A Gate that God Promised
January 15, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Judith Schapals
God is so good. Sunday morning, we were singing, “I will follow You wherever You go.” We felt the Spirit of the Lord moving mightily in this place. And I can’t seem to get away from it. I want to say that God is the God of the whirlwind. I felt it moving around me. And He speaks in that whirlwind. Possessing the gates of your enemy.
This week I was listening to a tape. And I quote, “It is a gate that God promised. Every gate is ours. It is a gate that God gives and opens up.” And I want to say, oh Lord, we want to be harnessed with the yoke of Your calling in our lives.
God of the Whirlwind
January 15, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, just then when the Presence of God was so real, in my spirit I began to see something moving around. Just in a circular motion. I began to see this moving around. And I remembered what the Bible said in the book of Nahum. The Bible said, “God is a God of the whirlwind.” And I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen videos or films of tornadoes going in, how they pick up everything in their path. It’s an unusual thing, though.
Because something can be just a few feet to the right or a few feet to the left and not be even touched. But I saw in the Spirit like a whirlwind in this place tonight. And I saw some things being caught up. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank You, Jesus.
I saw some things being caught up into that whirlwind. And I didn’t recognize what they were. But in my spirit, I could hear the voice of the Spirit saying, “These are the things that you don’t want any more, the things that you don’t want in your life anymore.” God is a God of the whirlwind. Hallelujah.
And His Spirit and His Anointing is in this house tonight. If you’ll just yield yourself to the Lord, you can get rid of some things. I don’t know if it’s sickness, symptoms, disease. I don’t know if it’s troubling spirits. I don’t know if you’ve got habits in your life that you can’t get rid of, addictions in your life that you can’t be free from. There’s a Presence in this house tonight. If you’ll just give it to God… I know that sounds too easy, too simple to be true. But if you’ll just turn loose of it… What would be the use of you holding on to it anyway, if you don’t want it any more, if you’re ready to release it, to get rid of it?
I just felt then a special unction for some of you that are bound by addictions, things that are bigger than you are, things that you’ve tried to stop doing, things that you’ve tried to quit doing, and you just keep going back to them. You just can’t get free tonight.
I don’t believe anybody has to lay hands on you. I don’t believe you have to come through a prayer line. I believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And I believe He’s in this house. And I believe if you’ll just be willing… I’m the preacher. But you know, there’s things I don’t need in my life. I want to turn loose of them tonight. Let God take them. He’s bigger than they are anyway.
(So I don’t know what you’re going to sing next.) But as we continue to worship the Lord, I want you to give it to God. Lord, it’s bigger than I am. It’s had a hold on me. I’ve not been able to break free from it. But tonight, I’m turning loose of it. I’m taking my hand off of it. I want deliverance. The wind of deliverance, the wind of deliverance is in this place. You can have deliverance. May not come in the way you’d think, but you can have deliverance if you’ll just claim it right now. I couldn’t contain it. I had to say it.
The Lord Himself Shall Be Victorious
January 20, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this morning, I’m beginning a new move among you, saith the Lord. For yea, it is My desire, saith God, to place every man, every woman, every boy or girl in right standing with Me. For yea the Lord would say unto thee, this is a season of deliverance. I shall break every chain in your life if you’ll begin to surrender more to Me.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I desire that you would come and follow Me. Will you be My disciple this day, saith the Lord? Will you draw yourself aside with fasting and prayer? Will you draw yourself aside with time in my Word? Feed upon that that I have sent to guide you and to strengthen you, saith the Lord. If you’ll be willing to do your part, rest assured and know that I will do My part, saith the Lord. And I will restore unto thee everything that the enemy has eaten out of your life.
Yea, I shall give you not only restoration, but restitution. Prepare yourself to receive. For the Lord would say unto thee, I’m getting ready to introduce to you a new ministry, saith the Lord, that will bring the deliverance that’s needed for such a time as this. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, be careful how you bite and devour one another, else you shall be devoured.
But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, pray and prefer one another. For this is the hour that I will use who I choose, saith the Lord. It is not your choice who I will use in this move of God. But I will choose the ones that I would use, saith the Lord. Make sure that you have cleansed your heart and your mind, so that you can receive from whoever I shall raise up and use as a voice of righteousness in your midst.
For the Lord would say unto thee that, yes, there shall be great spiritual warfare above you and among you. But the Lord Himself shall be victorious, said God. I shall get the victory for you, thus saith the Lord.
Year of Deliverance
January 20, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I want to give you the word of the Lord. This is not only the year of restitution. It’s not only the year of reconciliation. But I know in the Spirit this is the year of deliverance. Hallelujah. And I don’t know about you, but I’m going to have mine. I’m going to have my deliverance. Oh, hallelujah.
Speaking the Word
January 20, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
That which you did for a time with the Wyrack family, you shall do more. As you speak the words forth, you’ll never ever have… You won’t always… I say never. That’s wrong. You won’t have to go forth, as you speak the word, as the calls come. Oh. I feel like that as this is aired on the TV, that people are going to reach out.
And we’ll never ever, ever have to get on the road. The only thing that there’ll be is, our prayers will go forth. And the people will be set free, as it was for the Wyrack family. Oh, Lord. As Jesus spoke the Word forth, He did… There was always situations in the Bible where He never ever had to go. And as the Word went forth, they were set free. And that is for this church even today, even today, even today.
Seek Deliverance First
January 20, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given through Brother Shelley
The Spirit of the Lord spoke to me this afternoon and said, “If you’ll seek deliverance first. As a Body, if you’ll seek deliverance first,” the Lord said, “I’ll bring them from the North, from the South, from the East and the West they’ll come, seeking deliverance. And you’ll be able to minister to them.”
And we won’t have one screaming, “Tear down, tear down.” And one screaming, “Build up. Build up.” We’ll be moving in the same unction, and we’ll know that there’s a time to tear down first. Then you build up. Let God convict. Let God deal. Let God rebuke. Let Him rip. When He has finished His work, then let’s pray, “God, build up.”
Removing the Residue
January 25, 2002 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night I shall do a work in thee, and it shall not be a half job, saith the Lord, but I shall do a complete work.Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night,I shall bring a total deliverance, saith the Lord.Prepare thyself, for it is coming for thee.
Yea, I will not leave anything left unturned in your life but the Lord would say unto thee,I shall clean thee,I shall scour thee,I shall scrub thee with My anointing, saith the Lord.I shall deliver you from the sins of your past.I shall deliver you from the sins of the present.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,I shall break everything that has even come down upon theefrom generations beyond, saith the Lord.Yea, I shall break the sinful curses
that have passed down to theefrom thy father. Yea, even from thy mother, saith the Lord.
Even from thy grandparents.Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,I shall so completely set you free, that you shall for one time in your life know the meaning of My Word, when I have spoken, “He whom the Son shall set free, will be free indeed.“Yea, you will know that feeling of “free indeed,” saith the Lord.
Continue to pull near to Me. Continue to draw thyself unto Me, saith the Lord. For I will not leave you empty. But I shall come back and remove the residue that sin has left behind. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even the residue that is left behind, even when the rebellion has been taken out of your life. That which has remained shall be wiped clean, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
I Shall Do a Complete Work
January 27, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I saw a very strange thing in the Spirit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an odd vision. But I saw what looked like a bath tub, but it looked oversized. And I saw that the water was about half-way up into the bathtub, just about right for somebody to take a bath. And I saw that the water was so very, very dirty. So dirty, that nobody would want to get into that water. It was that dark, so that you couldn’t even see the bottom of the bathtub. I saw in the Spirit like the drain, but like an old-fashioned stopper.
I’ve been on the evangelistic fields, stayed on farms, places where they had… You might even have it still. I guess some people may still have it. But the rubber stopper that used to go down into the drain with a chain on it, come up to a little metal tap. I saw it like that. And I saw a hand pull the chain and pull the stopper out. And I was amazed at how swift the water began to flow out of the tub. But the suction of the drain caused such a whirlpool in the tub. I know you know what I’m talking about. That little bitty whirlpool-looking motion, when the water…
But this almost influenced the whole tub. Water was just swishing in such a way, as it went out so very rapidly. And then the tub was left without water. But I saw how dirty the tub was. I could see that dark ring. (I know I’m talking in…) God has certainly used a very carnal example to show us something in the Spirit tonight. I feel almost a little embarrassed to talk to you about it.
But I just saw how that ring, ring was so dark around that tub. And I thought, “Lord, the dirty water has been drained out and You can fill up the bathtub with clean water. But how many of you know that wouldn’t make a difference? It still wouldn’t be clean.
But I saw a hand, that same hand, no doubt, that had pulled the little drain. I saw that hand with a very soft cloth. And I saw that hand begin to wipe around that tub and clean out that residue. Hallelujah. Oh, it may sound very carnal to some. But I believe that’s what the Lord desires to do. He wants to empty us of all that is dirty in our lives, all that is unclean, all that is unlike Him.
For the Lord would say unto thee this night. I shall do a work in thee, and it shall not be a half job, saith the Lord. But I shall do a complete work. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, I shall bring a total deliverance, saith the Lord. Prepare thyself, for it is coming for thee.
Yea, I will not leave anything left unturned in your life. But the Lord would say unto thee, I shall clean thee, I shall scour thee, I shall scrub thee with My anointing, saith the Lord. I shall deliver you from the sins of your past. I shall deliver you from the sins of the present. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall break everything that has even come down upon thee from generations beyond, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall break the sinful curses that have passed down to thee from thy father.
Yea, even from thy mother, saith the Lord. Even from thy grandparents. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall so completely set you free, that you shall for one time in your life know the meaning of My Word, when I have spoken, “He whom the Son shall set free, will be free indeed.”
Yea, you will know that feeling of “free indeed,” saith the Lord. Continue to pull near to Me. Continue to draw thyself unto Me, saith the Lord. For I will not leave you empty. But I shall come back and remove the residue that sin has left behind. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even the residue that is left behind, even when the rebellion has been taken out of your life. That which has remained shall be wiped clean, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
Extracting the Wax of Our Spiritual Ear
February 5, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I wanted them to play together, because I wanted to share with you a vision that I just had, as I started praising the Lord. I promise you, it wasn’t at all premeditated. Never thought about this, never seen anything quite like this before in the Spirit. But I saw it as plain as I’ve ever seen anything.
How many of you know what I mean if I said, “Coning the ear”? I had it done one time, where they put a wax cone in your ear. And they use the draw of a candle to extract the wax out of your ear. And I’m telling you, it’s unbelievable what happens. When they cut that cone open…
Perhaps the cone may have been more paper or something. I don’t know what it was made of. But when they cut that open, you can see the build-up of wax that has been drawn out of the ear by the pull of that candle.
It works on the same principle as the little German toys that are made in Bavaria or Germany, where you light candles, and the draw of the candle causes the little wheels to turn. But this time it’s more of a… Because of the shape, it draws out in that cone.
I could see a flame, and smoke was coming from that flame. And I could see, as it were, what looked like a cone in the ear. And I knew, as that smoke was coming around, that it was drawing out from the ear the things that didn’t need to be there. The wax of the ear. Hallelujah.
It’s deeper than a q-tip. You know what a q-tip does? A q-tip only takes off what is the surface. And if you go too far with a q-tip, you push the wax farther down in your ear. That’s why little children shouldn’t be left unattended with a q-tip, to try to clean their own ear. Because if they put it in the wrong place, they’re just pushing the wax farther and farther down the ear.
But I saw the drawing. I’ll just express it that way. I saw the drawing of the Holy Ghost that desires to extract from us that that has heavied our ear. The Bible said, “The Lord’s ear is not heavy…” Meaning He is not dull of hearing. He desires to remove all of the build-up.
And I felt a prompting from the Holy Ghost to say, “Years of build-up” that He desires to extract from our spiritual ear. And you can believe it or not. But even as I was just saying that, I could feel that drawing in my natural ear. A wonderful, unusual sensation. I could feel drawing in my right ear, even as I was talking about it. I could feel that drawing.
How many of you would desire that the Lord would do that? Clean out that channel. You’ve heard from the Lord before. You know what it is for God to speak into your life. And you’d like for Him to just draw out all the impurity, to draw out all that would hinder and clog. Lord, right now.
Stand on My Word
February 12, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Just stand on your feet tonight and lift up a voice of praise. Bring glory and honor to the Name of Jesus. And in our standing, let it be a sign of defiance against the enemy of your soul tonight. Tell him, “No matter what he brings against you, no matter what he speaks against you, no matter what lies he tells you, you’re going to stand on the promises of God. You’re going to stand on the Word. Hallelujah.
Somebody stand on the Word tonight. Stand on the promises of God tonight. He’s giving you a Word, “Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand on My Word.” Hallelujah… For if you shall stand upon My Word, Yea, I shall deliver thee, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall bring great deliverances in your life.
For yea, I’ve given thee My Word. I’ve given thee My Name, and I’ve given thee My Glory, saith God. Yea, and I say unto thee, stand tonight. Stand against the powers of the enemy. For I say unto you, if you’ll stand, you shall see the awesome power of My Spirit. Yea, for I shall work mightily through thee. I shall work a great work through thee, saith the Lord.
And yea, that which you have fasted for, that which you’ve laid aside yourself for, saith the Lord. That which you’ve sacrificed unto Me, Yea, you shall swiftly see the deliverance of the Lord even in thine own life, and in the lives of others. Hallelujah. We claim it, Lord. We claim it.
My Bride Dressed in My Word
February 17, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Greeley
You’re not turning away man, saith God, when you spurn the vessel that I have used to bring forth My Word, you are not just turning away man, or spuming man’s words. But you are turning away My Word, saith God. I have come in this hour because I desire My Bride to be dressed in My righteousness. I desire My Bride to be dressed in My Word, that I can receive her unto Myself, that where I am, she can be also.
But yea, saith God, don’t turn away the vessel that I am using in this hour. Don’t reject his voice, saith the Lord, for it is My Word that he is bringing to you, that you can be dressed in My righteousness and in My way and My Word, saith God, so that you can be ready at the hour that man would think not. I will have a Bride that is ready, ready for the rapture, ready to be caught away to be with Me. Ready to take My Word to the nations. So don’t turn away My vessel, lest you turn away Me, saith God.
The Good Is Going to Rise to the Top
March 3, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw in the Spirit one day this week when I was in prayer… I was praying over this. I was praying over these very things. And I saw in the Spirit a clear jar, like a Mason jar. And I saw a milky liquid in it that looked like skim milk.
I was praying about what was going on in the Message world and in the church world. And praying about our own church and our own trials and tribulations. And God let me see this clear glass. Bigger than a quart. But it was a glass jar. Clear though. Not covered around like a crock. I saw that skimmy looking milk in there.
And all of a sudden I saw something happening in that jar. I saw that jar begin to tremble, as though there was an earthquake. And when I did, I saw something rich and yellow and creamy raising to the top of that jar. And you know what? I knew immediately what God was trying to show me. The cream’s going to come to the top.
How many of you believe that no matter what, the cream is going to rise? Somebody ought to say, “Praise the Lord.” You can take that even personally. The good in you is going to manifest. That that God has sowed into you is going to come to the top. The goodness of God and the Word of the Lord and the promises of the Lord that have been sown into your life, they’re going to rise to the top and be manifested as well. Oh, does anybody believe that? Thank You, Lord.
Ripening Grain
March 10, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister April Rains
When we were worshiping, the Lord had shown me. Not with my physical eyes, but in my spirit-man, the Lord has shown me when we were singing the words, “Ripening grain…” But I saw people, but they were grain. They weren’t people, but they were grain. And when I looked. I turned that way and I looked, I could see the ripening grain. And I knew that He was speaking to me that there was ripening grain to see it, to look that there was ripening grain around me.
March 10, 2001 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
Amazingly enough, I was speaking to an old friend this afternoon and we were talking about the giftings of the Holy Ghost and how that sometimes when tongues come, the interpretation is not in a boisterous voice, for Thus Saith the Lord, as we have heard and we believe. But sometimes it comes almost as a vision and it’s shared in that kind of a way. And that’s the way it came to me.
But I saw a wide-open field with grain. Appeared to me to be wheat or oats. But it was, I was seeing that the field was very ripe, golden wheat. And that the combine was already about halfway through the field in harvesting the grain.
And it came to my mind that there’s the firstfruits of the harvest. And then also it came to my spirit that because of different climates, that harvest is at a different time for different climates. Therefore, all does not come to maturity at the same time in order for the combine to run at the same time.
And I don’t know what more to say than that, than the Lord of the harvest is speaking to us tonight that the harvest is ready.
We sang about the rain, the latter rain. The harvest rain, as we have been taught and it is ripening the grain. And I believe that even as God as spoke in this place, that there would be forerunners. There are people that are coming to maturity quicker than others.
It doesn’t mean that anyone has to be left out and doesn’t get to come to maturity. But because of the rain of God and because of His season and His timing, we can come to that maturity and be harvested for the Kingdom of God.
Removing Every Excuse
March 17, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I know this is a very unusual Word, very strange for this wonderful atmosphere. But the Spirit of the Lord keeps putting in my heart to say this, and I didn’t know when I would have an opportunity to say it. But over and over I keep hearing the Lord say, “I’m getting ready to rip away every excuse. Every excuse is about to be removed.
So if you’re here this morning and you are making excuses with God of why you can’t give Him everything, and why you can’t serve Him with everything. You better withdraw your excuse this morning. I tell you in the Name of the Lord and in love and respect.
Getting Ready to Dig a Well
March 24, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
As I was thinking this week about the gentleman that was here Sunday, I was thinking about the people that God has put in his path. And I said, “God, they weren’t dry wells.” Then I got to thinking about my Pastor. I thought, “Lord, he’s started so many wells. But they’ve been dry wells, Lord.”
And then I went to the Word of God. I knew there was someone in the Bible. And I remembered that it was Isaac. It went to the one well, it was taken away from him. He went to another well, it was taken away from him. But he dug a well, and that well wasn’t taken away from him. You’re getting ready to dig a well.

Fire Flickering over the Candlesticks
March 28, 2002 (Thursday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I hesitate to speak this because it’s so simple. I don’t even know what it means, the Lord didn’t give me the revelation of it. But as I shut my eyes a moment ago, I saw the wind of the Lord blowing over the candlesticks. I could see the light flickering, the Fire flickering over the candlesticks. And I knew that the Lord was moving in this place.
Pulling the Fire Towards Us
March 28, 2002 (Thursday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
While we’re moving in this anointing… I know this is going to be really simple since I’ve already shared something simple. I saw people pulling the Fire towards them. And at Passover time, if you’ll remember, the woman, the lady of the house always draws the fire towards her like that, a candle. Since we represent the Bride of Jesus Christ, I want us, everybody, not those who will, but everybody to just begin to pull the Fire of the Lord toward you, and let it burn. We are keepers of the flame…
Unshackled
March 30, 2002 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Judith Schapals
This has been heavy on my heart. I know the waters are troubled in this place. And I know the Lord is lifting us to higher levels. I want to step into whatever He has for me. And last week the word “unshackled” has been on my mind. I asked the Lord where and how things in my life.
And on Wednesday night in the service, the altar service, when Brother Shelley was praying for each one, I saw myself running. And I was running towards an open door. And I saw myself running through this door. And I was holding this Word that the Lord has given me. And I was crying, “unshackled.” Unshackled.
But before I ran into this doorway, I saw that there were many doors and they were all open. And I realized that each doorway was for one individual to walk through. And I realized that there were many that were fixing to walk through this door with these words.
And I know that we were supposed to lay our petitions before the Lord in this place. And yesterday in the service, last night in the service, my heart was heavy. And I just felt it well up inside of me and I was crying, “Unshackled. Unshackled.”
Let Him Be a Fruitful Bough
April 7, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Jeffier Propst
Brother Shelley, I hadn’t even spoken to someone about this. I really… (Oh God, help me if I’m wrong.) But I feel like there’s a prayer that’s prayed against you. And it’s… I was praying about it so hard one day, I could hear that prayer. “Let his words be a lie. Let them come to naught, the things that come out of his mouth.”
And I’ve been praying over that ever since I… Oh, I can’t even describe what it does. Last night as I was, yesterday morning as I was praying, I said, “Lord, just let him be a fruitful bough. Lord, I just drape the apples and the pears for Jesus. And the oranges. God, let him be a fruitful, a bough, Lord Jesus.
Father, as these words go forth, Lord Jesus, let them bear fruit, Lord, that’s prayed against this man. Lord, I defy them in the Name of Jesus. God, let them go forth on the wings of eagles, Lord. Let them go forth, Lord. God, let them be fruitful words, Lord, to accomplish the damage he wished to accomplish. (Tongues) I just felt a wall, Brother Shelley, being built. I just felt a wall being built between you and that what is prayed against you.
Defy the Devil
April 7, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
I guess everybody sort of needs to not go away, but give yourself a little bit of room. Because I should have done it this morning, and I didn’t do it. And I’m not going to do it tonight either.
When I hear the devil defying this one, and the devil defying that one… I was reading about David this week. And I read about him when he went up against Goliath. And all this morning I was thinking about it. I want everybody to get him, like they’ve got their five stones and their sling. I want you to say it after me. “How dare you, you uncircumcised Philistine, that you would defy the armies of the Lord.”
Now you take your slings and you sling it against that which Satan has tormented you over… Oh, you devil. Oh, you devil. I defy you in the Name of Jesus. Oh, you spirit of poverty, I defy you in the Name of Jesus. Oh, you spirit of infirmity, I defy you in the Name of Jesus. You spirit of intimidation; I defy you in the Name of Jesus. (Tongues)
Spirit of Iniquity Being Passed Down
April 14, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While I was preaching this morning, I caught something in the Spirit for someone that I don’t even know. I’m not sure who it is. But I saw a young man. And far as I know I don’t recognize that young man. But I saw a young man for just a split second, when I was preaching on iniquity. And I saw a spirit that had come down over him. And it didn’t come paternally, but it come from the mother’s side, from the mother’s father, not from the father’s father.
And I saw how that spirit of iniquity was coming down. I don’t know who that young man is. But we’ll know. Something will happen, and we will know who he is. I didn’t recognize him. He seemed to be familiar, but I couldn’t have told you who he was. But I assume that he means something to somebody here this morning. If God’s already showing those kinds of things, then I know He want us to pray that deliverance will come.
Press Through the Veil into the Holy of Holies
April 19, 2002 (Friday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Greeley
Press through, press through, press through. Press through. I’ve invited you into the Holy of Holies. And I’ve come to tell you tonight the veil of My mercy is not as difficult to press through as the veil of badger skins. I’ve invited you to come and press in through My veil of mercy.
And let Me cover you with My Blood, as you come into My Presence. For I have bid you come. Don’t tarry on the outside, waiting for someone else to go in for you. The veil of badger skins has been removed. Come through the veil of mercy tonight. And know more of My Presence.
Violence in Paris
April 21, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw two things in the Spirit this morning while we were worshiping the Lord. (Mark them down in your spirit.) I saw something violent taking place in Paris. Now that concerns me greatly because I’m headed to Paris in a few weeks. We’ll be flying through Paris. Hopefully only there an hour and half, or two. I think maybe a little longer. But I would just as soon bypass it altogether.
I can’t tell you what it is. But I saw Paris on the map. I saw a star next to Paris. And I saw something like an explosion. But I knew that it was violent. I don’t want to say too much more, because I would be interpreting. I don’t have the unction to interpret, but just watch for it.
And then this is the most concerning thing. I saw a wave of fire rolling in, rolling in like this. Fire, rolling in. And I saw that it was coming from a surprise attack in the Middle East.
Now you say, “Well, those happen every other day. Suicide bombings.” This is, it could happen as a suicide bombing. But it’ll be much more severe. A lot more people involved. Not just one lone ranger running in to blow up something. Twenty, thirty people at most being killed.
This will be a lot larger than that. I saw a surprise attack in the Middle East. Something totally unexpected. With great devastation and possible severe ramifications and retaliations.
I saw that. And to be honest with you, I could not tell you if Israel initiates it or if the Palestinians do. I tried then to sit down and search the Spirit, to see if I could determine. Because my immediate reaction was: Palestinians of course. But for some reason I just couldn’t quite get that enough in my spirit to speak that, or to declare it. So I don’t know what’s going to happen. But it’s planned. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not real soon.
Arise, Oh Lord
April 21, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Jonathan Hollis
Arise, oh Lord, upon our praises.
Be glorified in all we do.
Arise, oh Lord, in adoration
on wings of healing our hearts renew…
Just Wait
April 28, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And God spoke to my heart. And He said, “Remember this. Seed that are sown cannot be seen when they’re sown and covered in the ground. And you can pace over those seed. And you can say, “Nothing is going to happen. These seed are no good, and nothing is going to happen, because a few…”
Did you know you can go out one day…? God just made this real to me. So simple, but it sure helped me. You can go out one day and walk in a field. And you can say, “There’s nothing going on here.” How many of you know that with a seed, you can go out the next day, and see life? The next day. How does it happen that way? But the next day you can go out, and not only see a break in the ground. But you can see a half an inch. And with some things you can see an inch. And you wonder how it sprouted that way.
And God just spoke to my heart and He said… And it reminded me… This is not in defense, but just to help you a little bit. It reminded me of a prophecy that Sister Propst gave not too long ago about seed. It came back to my mind. And God said to me, “You just wait.” I just have to be honest.
This is how He spoke into my heart. He said, “You just wait until your critics…” And I knew, church, unfortunately I knew that He wasn’t just talking about those on the outside, but even those a few on the inside. “You just wait until they begin to see the results of what’s been laying in the ground. When I begin to cause it to sprout forth, then they will realize that it’s not in vain.”
I’m telling the devil this morning. I didn’t mean to get on your emotions or make you cry for me. I didn’t mean to do that at all. Because all is well. Do you hear what I’m saying this morning with me? All is well. I don’t hold any ill toward anybody. But I just say this one thing. You’d better be careful what you say. You’d better be careful what you say. Because I’ve got a promise from the Lord for some of these.
When God begins to take that Word that’s been laying… You know, people even say things like, well, the only problem is, all the preaching has just been above their head. Well, I’ve told you so many years ago, I’m not a youth pastor. I don’t know how, perhaps to speak just to young people.
But I tell you what. I know what God said. God said, “My Word will not return unto Me void.” And I know that one of these days that Word seed that’s been planted in their lives is going to grow. It’s going to sprout. It’s going to come forth. And you’re going to see something.
In fact, the Lord ministered to my heart this morning, as I continued to think and pray and weep about that. He ministered to my heart. And He said, “The greatest thing about it all is this. When these seeds sprout, they’re not going to sprout. They’re not going to come forth and sprout and hang there dormant, and grow slowly.”
But He said, “When these seeds begin to sprout, they’re going to sprout forth bearing fruit.” You know, that’s my promise.That’s what He really ministered to my spirit.You can claim a little of that with me if you want to. But when God begins to give the increase of that that has been labored among you,when God begins to give the increase…
The Bible said… Paul said, “I have planted. And Apollos has watered. But it is only God who gives the increase.”
When God begins to give the increase (hallelujah),and the seed that are laying dormant in the ground…Maybe a little embarrassing sometimes, alittle hurtful sometime to look back and see how things have happened. Not at all as we have planned.
But I received that promise from the Lordthat when they come forthand when they sprout they’re going to sprout bearing fruit. Won’t that be a wonderful thing?
Sprouting Forth Bearing Fruit

Ten Thousand Angels
April 28, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Sister Anne Tremain
I just want to say something comforting. Because yesterday when I was praying for Elfrieda for her departure, because I’ll be leaving tomorrow… I was praying with her. And I was asking the Lord to protect all of the missionaries on the plane. And I saw a little vision.
I saw the metal. And I saw the rivets that planes have to hold the metal on. And then I saw it go through a cloud. And when it went through that cloud I knew it was a plane. And then I thought of that cloud ring in Arizona.
Because I saw a really good picture once. And it was full of angels. And I said, “Lord, ten thousand angels to hold that… ten thousand angels.” And then it… The clouds got, not little patchy, but it was everywhere. So that had to be the ten thousand angels. Glory to God. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
A Stale Spirit
May 19, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw it like milk being poured on hard, stale bread. Perhaps you’re not southern enough to eat bread and milk. But you can always take the stale bread and the hard bread, put it in the milk. And it just softens it. And I don’t know why. But I saw it like that. Milk being poured over some hard, stale bread.
If your spirit is stale, all the ingredients are still there. All the vitamins, everything you need is still there. Just a little stale. Let the milk… Why milk, Lord? I’m not even sure why. But let it pour. Let the Anointing of God pour over you like milk and soften. Hallelujah…
I do know that in the Jewish home, one of the things that’s consumed the most at Pentecost is dairy products. They make the most wonderful cheesecake at this time of year. The rabbis disagree on why. There are many different explanations. One is because the Song of Solomon talks about the law of God dripping like milk and honey.
I don’t know the real explanation. But perhaps that’s why it came to me this morning. But I just saw like a pitcher of milk being poured down over. And I saw the effect, the softening effect.
Jesus, right now before we leave this house, You know our lives. You know how hard they can become. You know how tough we can be because of our problems and pressures. Let the softening of Your Anointing just flow right now. Hallelujah.
Standing on Top of the World
May 19, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given by Brother Shelley
And as I was getting to that place where we speak about kronos and kairos, the Anointing of the Lord came down over me. And I realized in the Spirit that I was standing on top of the world. I didn’t say anything about it just then, because I didn’t know how to explain it.
But as I was standing there preaching on the kairos, the appointed time of the Lord, I looked down on the floor. And as I did, the floor opened up before me. And I saw underneath my feet the world, the globe, the world. And I looked to the right. And I looked to the left. And I even glanced over my shoulder. And all around me I could see the curve of the world, as it was going down around me.
This Is the Hour of Choosing
June 2, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, My children. This is the day, this is the time, this is the hour of reaching forth, saith the Lord. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have seen You, saith God. Yea, I have seen those of you who have reached a little higher, those who have stretched forth yourself a little farther. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I’ve seen your effort.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, even in the last few hours I’ve seen those of you who have prayed a little more. Yea, I have seen those of you who have read a little more. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I saw the breakfast that you’ve missed. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I saw the day that you went in the living room, saith the Lord, when the family was having supper. And you wouldn’t eat because you wanted to be with Me.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, it has not gone unnoticed. Yea, you have not made sacrifice unto Me in vain, saith the Lord. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, this is the time that I desire to cover thee, saith the Lord, with My wings. Yea, this is the hour of the stretching forth of the tent of the Lord.
Yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, I desire to cover thee under My tent. Yea, I desire to stretch Myself upon thee, saith the Lord, and shield thee from the heat and from the storm. And yea, I am the living God, and yea, I say unto thee, you’ve sacrificed and sacrificed, and sacrificed. You’ve wondered in your heart if there was ever going to be a turning point for you.
But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, be faithful. Yea, be faithful. Be not weary in this hour, saith the Lord, for the all-seeing eye of the Living God is upon thee. And I have not missed it, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that I have told thee in My Word that not a little bird falls to the ground that I have not noticed. How much more, saith the Lord, have I cared and watched over thee. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I’m getting ready to break forth in this place.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I usher forth unto thee a warning. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I warn you by My mercy. Yea, by My grace I speak a word of warning to you, saith the Lord. And I tell you this night, mark the Word of the Lord. For yea, I will give you a space. Yea, I will give you a moment, yea, I will you a time to stretch forth thyself into My Presence.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, surely you must respond. Surely you must come as others have come. Lift up yourself as others have lifted up themselves. For the Lord would say unto thee, to those who will sit back, to those who will fold their hands, saith the Lord, and not do anything to further themselves in Me and in My Word.
Yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, I shall break forth on the left and on the right. And they shall sit in the midst, utterly untouched, saith the Lord. Yea, they’ll leave the same service that you leave. You’ll leave rejoicing. You’ll leave saying, “Wasn’t it wonderful to be in the House of the Lord? Wasn’t the Glory of God so real?” And yea, they shall leave, never knowing that I have been in the midst, saith the Lord.
For I say unto thee in love. I have wearied with thee, and wearied with thee, saith the Lord. And now I say unto thee, it is time to stretch forth thyself. So the Lord would say unto thee, to those of you who have come forward, those of you who have reached up to try to grasp Me, saith the Lord, I have seen you. And you shall not go disappointed nor unrewarded. But the Lord would say again, unto those who would sit back, never making an effort, saith the Lord. Never even lifting themselves up to worship Me, yea, the Lord will move around you. Yea, I shall move in your midst, yea, I shall deliver, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall touch whole families. For the day will come, saith the Lord, that whole families will kneel in the altar together, repenting, and making progress in Me.
But the Lord would say unto thee, if you miss this day, this hour, this time of your visitation, it shall happen around you, and you shall go untouched, saith the Lord. The Lord would say unto thee, bicker not among yourselves, neither complain. For the day of the boldness of the Lord is upon thee. He shall roar among thee like a mighty lion. Who shall fear? Who shall obey the Word of the Lord?
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in the near future I shall proclaim even from this place that which has been spoken in secret, saith the Lord. And yea, every murmuring, every complaint that has gone forth in the closet, yea, I shall speak it forth even from this pulpit. And there shall be no hiding place. For this is the hour that I will visit My Bride. And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, My anger is kindled against those who have known the way of the Lord and refused to walk in it. Yea, those who have allowed themselves to be yielded to a spirit that is unlike Me.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have seen thee. Yea, I have seen thee in thy self-righteousness, saith God. I have seen thee as thou hast stretched forth thy neck about this place as though you were walking in My Word. But I know your hearts, saith the Lord. I’ve judged you from the beginning and I judge you now, saith God. Now is the time for you to make amend. Now is the time for you to make peace with Me, or I shall break forth around you and you shall miss My coming, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
I wonder, I wonder, saith the Lord. I wonder, will you disregard Me now? I wonder, will you turn a deaf ear now as you have in the past? The choice is yours, saith the Lord. But I will no longer allow you and your attitude to hinder My moving in this place. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, a breaking forth shall come here, and it shall spread even to My Bride in the nations of the world. For I will visit those who desire a visitation.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, it’s time for you to register your decision. It’s time for you to make your decision known, saith the Lord. Will you stand? Will you be faithful or fearful? For the Lord would say unto thee, this is the hour of choosing. (Tongues)
Times of Pressurization
June 4, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
So let me encourage every intercessor in this place because, I see something even now in the Spirit like a barrel that’s bulging. You know these old wooden barrels that used to be made out of wooden planks and they had metal rings around the top and the bottom to hold these wooden planks in place.
As I was speaking that. I saw it, as it were, a vision before my eyes of a wooden barrel, like that. But it was bulging at the seams. And whatever it was on the inside was pressure and it was pushing that barrel out until the boards were gaping.
And it reminds me of getting an old fashioned ice cream churn. I say an old fashioned one, but we bought an electric one not too many years ago. But it had a wooden base to it, a wooden bucket. And the first thing it tells you to do is to submerge that wooden bucket in water for so many hours. Do you know what I’m talking about? So that the wood will swell up and seal the bucket, so that the water, that salty water, doesn’t leak out.
It reminded me of that, what I just saw. A barrel that had pressure in it and it was bulging at the seam. And I could see for just a split second there, as the boards of that barrel were ready to break forth and whatever was on the inside was about to come out.
I don’t know exactly what it represents, but I tell you, you want to be right with God in times of pressurization. When there’s pressure about to blow, you want to be right with God. Do you believe what I’m saying?
Coming Out as Babies, Hitting the Ground as Grown Men
June 8, 2002 (Saturday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Brother Hagan
God, Lord Jesus, I know this is on tape. So God, You just confirm it. But Lord God, that prophetic power You put on Brother Shelley, God, that spirit, that prophetic spirit, God, you put on him, God, from a child, God that Anointing that you put in him, God. Lord God, I speak this, God.
I seen Brother Shelley today, Lord, when I was praying. Lord God, I seen. It looked like babies had jumped out of his stomach. By the time they hit the ground they was grown men. And they was preaching. God. (Tongues.)
Lord, out from his belly shall come rivers of living water. Lord, the prophet said these little preachers… God, the voice of many waters. God, I seen it, God. So help me, Lord. Out of his life has come forth, God. And God, he’s fixing to see the effects, the ministers that has heard his voice. And they’re going to say, “I’m preaching because of Brother Shelley. The Anointing got me.
Plotting in Saudi Arabia
June 9, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But I just caught again another, something little in the Spirit. Pray with me right now against that thing that’s being plotted right now in Saudi Arabia. I saw three men getting ready to board an airplane in Saudi Arabia. They’re flying, I don’t know exactly yet where they’re flying, but they’re flying to have a meeting with somebody concerning an act of terrorism against Israel.
Lord, we just pray right now in the Name of Jesus that You’d stop it. Lord, like many times before, let us read about it in the paper. Let it strengthen the faith for the people. Lord, we’ll know, Lord, it was You when we read about it and know, God, You stopped it. Stop them. Let security officers stop them. Let immigration officers stop them. Whatever You have to do, Lord, don’t let them make that contact that would bring a devastating blow against Israel. I intercede before Thee, oh God. I intercede before Thee, oh God. (Tongues)
Will you just slip your hands to the Lord and thank Him right now that His will is going to be done in the earth. Let Your will be done in the earth, Jesus. I love You, Lord. (Tongues) Thank You, Holy Ghost. Hallelujah.
Explosion Rising Up Like a Mushroom
June 9, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord tonight, I saw a vision. And in that vision I saw again an explosion. This one was a little bit different than the last time. But I’ve had this same scene before. But this time it rose up just exactly like we have seen the pictures of the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How those, how that nuclear fallout, how it rose up like a mushroom.
And I saw it rising up like a mushroom and then raining back down on the people. I saw a great wind coming from the north. And it took that cloud and began to blow it down toward the South and down to the South East. I could see it moving in southernly direction, and then turning toward the South East.
I don’t know what it is, what the Lord was showing. But He showed it to us so that we could pray. I don’t know if this is Israel. I don’t know if it is Pakistan or India, because of the threats of nuclear warfare there. But we know enough to know to pray when the Lord shows something.
Using Laura Bush to Quiet the President
June 9, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just caught in the Spirit a quick little vision of Laura Bush, the first lady of this nation. I saw her shake her head like this. And I saw her take her finger and put it over on the President’s lips, real gentle like this. And I heard in the Spirit her tell him to “Shhhh.” You just ask the Lord with me to use her, oh God.
Use her, Lord. Use her. Lord, our President is a man. He’s probably quick to a temper. He’s a Texan, Lord. We know about Texans. God, we pray right now, Lord Jesus, that if that’s the way You want to do it, that You’d even use his wife to speak a softening to him, Lord, when that thing would rise up in him.
Lord, I know he loves Israel. But I know he’s under a lot of political pressure from the bureaucrats. But I pray, oh God, in the Name of Jesus, that You’d gift him guts. That You’d give him backbone. Lord, forgive me. I didn’t mean to say it that way, but Lord, You know what I mean, oh God. Give him a backbone to stand. Oh my Father. Lord Jesus, I knew better than to stand here tonight. I’d better to and sit down.
Straightening Out the Confusion
June 10, 2002 (Monday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Hagan | Directed to Brother Shelley
Something’s churning. Brother Shelley, you can feel it. It’s like we’ve went through for years, depressions and oppressions. We up one, we came down the next week. And pressures just all around the ministers, the real God-called.
Because as soon as you want to help people, the more you try to help people, the more they try to stomp you out.
See, God’s telling me something. If a fish couldn’t hold him down in the bottom of the ocean… He told me to tell Brother Shelley. He said, “They can’t stop you. You have just begun. It’s not the end. You’re none wearing out. It’s not time for it yet.”
Oh God.
I said, God’s fixing to raise them up, the ministry. I’m talking about real anointed ones that’s hearing the radios, that’s hearing across the country. These nations that you go to, and these places. I can feel God telling me in my soul, this is going to be the great part.
This is going to be one of the stirrings of the world. If we’ll hold faithful to God, and seek God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
Oh, I’m not shouting, but I feel it all over me.
The Sword of the Lord. We’re going to close with this. And Brother Shelley, get ready to sing my little song, if you can. On the Wings of a Dove, if you would tonight, for our altar call.
And tonight’s altar call is for all the Bride. Come and let Him dip His love all over you. Thank Him for what He’s done and for what He’s going to do.
My brother, just like God sent Jonah to a city of confusion. They have built their tower of Babel and God has confused them, and they don’t even know what is right and what’s wrong, which way to go. I sent you to straighten out the confusion. I laid My hand on you and called you to be a prophet, and told you I’d send you before the kings in the world, and the things… You know this.
And I gave you words to straighten out their confusion. And I’m not done with you. The sons of God will come out of this. I said, “The sons of God is going to come out of this, according to the vision that the Lord gave you.” The sons of God.
It seems like it took so many years, years and years and years. The Lord, He moved seven years ago. Oh God. Hallelujah. I feel He said seven years ago He’s made things known, at the time in ministry.
God, in Jesus Name, it’s time, Lord. It’s time, God, for this ministry to shake the earth. Brothers in the Lord that have never tried to help is going to help him. God, money is going to come in to go. God, You’re fixing to bless this church that they can be blessed, that they can send him. Lord, You’re fixing to bless this church, Lord.
And I believe, God, that when it’s all said and done, Lord, they’ll be in that great big old building that’ll be closed in and finished out. God, the anointing will be upon brother so strong, Lord, that these young people, God, will be grown. And things be going on the next four, five years here, Lord. And it’s going confound, God, those that… They’re going to say, “I thought he would have done died out.” They say it. They even started. Some said you had already quit and died out. But you ain’t quit yet. You can’t quit. No sir. It was in God’s predestinated will. Jesus. (Tongues) Glory. The Presence of the Lord is here.
Jesus has anointed you. And as I sent Jonah to straighten out the confusion… You’ve already preached messages to straighten out confusion. But now look beyond their faults. Know now I’ve sent you. You’ve prophesied against their false doctrines and their false idols, and their false teachings. And they didn’t receive you. But this time, the second time, they’ll hear the second time. Like Jonah, the second time God commissioned him, he came out with a Word. Hallelujah.
You’ve been in the three days of the heart of the earth yourself. You’ve been in the three days of the heart of the earth. What I say unto thee is, you’ve been through troubles. And it’s been three days of sorrow. But I’ll bring you out of this. Hallelujah. I’ve anointed you. This time they’ll repent. God’s going to anoint you, and the conviction power is going to fall on them and they’ll repent. Hallelujah. In Jesus Name. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost. I feel the Holy Ghost. I feel Jesus in this place.
I just seen, I just seen you, brother. It’s like you took off your shoes and you stepped into another pair of shoes. Hallelujah. Have you ever seen anything about shoes around here? He just stepped out of one pair of shoes and got into another.
I know I may be a little strange, but I see the dove. I see him. I see Jonah’s name in “dove.”
And the prophet said, that dove… He was prophesying his death, if you want to know. He was telling it how he carried it and he was wounded. They rejected him and they laughed at his ministry. They didn’t want him. So when he got done, he’s gone.
Read the Scriptures. Doves begat doves. Eagles begat eagles. Are you with me? I don’t know why we’re so… It’s very simple. Doctors say you are what you eat. Let’s go back and eat that grain.
The dove was sent from God. There is something hid in there. You say, “How do you know?”
Because it doesn’t take God forty years to get us ready for the rapture. There is something hid in the Message that’s got to come out. You remember what I said. If you never see me again. It’s hid in the Message.
Anything hid has to be revealed to prophets. There’s never going to be another major prophet. But there might be a whole bunch of minors, called “Sons of God.”
Are you with me? They’re going to come forth and they’re going to preach things, and they have preached things that’s revealing the Word. And the people that thinks they’ve done got it all, “I don’t need that. I’ve got plenty.”
But spiritually, Niniveh became a bankrupt house. They were spiritually bankrupt. You don’t, don’t ever let your church or your heart ever get scarcely bankrupt with God.
Did you know Jesus didn’t say, power came by just reading the Word? He said, “Power comes by prayer, fasting, fasting and prayer.”
He did not say, “You get power because your daddy was Amitai.”
He did not say you’d get power because you could quote the Scriptures.
He said, “If you want power over these devils,” He said, “you’re going to have to fast and pray.”
And if it took fasting and praying for the first church,
that’s what it’s going to take for the last church. Say amen. We’ve got to go back and do what Jesus said. The dove’s in here tonight.
No Maintenance Friendships
June 10, 2002 (Monday Evening)
Prophetic Word for the Church & Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
I was also thinking today about somebody… There are certain people that you really, really like. And God’s going to do this for everybody in the church. He’s going to give them “no maintenance friendships.” You’ve got a “no maintenance friendship” now, Brother Shelley.
You’re not ever going to have to pat each other on the back, and encourage each other along and pet each other along. It’s going to happen for everybody in this church. God’s going to give you somebody that you’re not ever going to have to pet, you’re not ever going to have to coax along. They’re just going to be your friend.
You Have Just Begun

He did, Brother Shelley. He said, “They can’t stop you.You have just begun.It’s not the end. You’re not wearing out. It’s not time for it yet.” Oh God.I said, God’s fixing to raise them up, the ministry.I’m talking about real anointed ones that’s hearing the radios, that’s hearing across the country.
These nations you go to, and these places.I can feel God telling me in my soul,this is going to be the great part.This is going to be one of the stirrings of the world. If we’ll hold faithful to God, and seek God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

Let’s pray. The Scripture says,“Whatever house you enter into,“and He said, “If the Prince of Peace be there,leave thy peace there.“Is that right?Everybody point your hands towards this great man of God. The Lord showed me,if they would have received him when he was younger…
I ministered to him when I first…I didn’t know Bro. Shelley, did we?Just met me at Bro. Bill’s… about Jonah.How many would go back and listened to that tape about Jonah? I was really talking about him.
If they would’ve received him when he was even younger,and went across the country, we would have done had a revival. I don’t have to say this to lift him up.
This is just one little group of people.But God is saying this.But this time, He’s not going to only use Brother Shelley, but out of his belly…
Now this peace is going to come.I’m going to leave peace here in this building.The Bible said we could.He said, “Whatever you say, doubt not in your heart…” Let’s raise our hands.

Lifting the Hands Like Moses
June 16, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley & Sister Stacey
Prophetic Word given by Brother Hagan
Do what sir? Yes sir. Let’s pray. The Scripture says, “Whatever house you enter into,” and He said, “If the Prince of Peace be there, leave thy peace there.” Is that right? Everybody point your hands towards this great man of God. The Lord showed me, if they would’ve received him when he was younger.
I ministered to him when I first… I didn’t know Brother Shelley, did we? Just met me at Bro. Bill’s… about Jonah. How many go back and listened to that tape about Jonah? I was really talking about him. If they would’ve received him when he was even younger, and went across the country, we would’ve done had a revival. I don’t have to say this to lift him up.
This is just one little group of people. But God is saying this. But this time, He’s not going to only use Brother Shelley, but out of his belly… Now this peace is going to come. I’m going to leave peace here in this building. The Bible said we could. He said, “Whatever you say, doubt not in your heart…” Let’s raise our hands. He’s so worried because of that shepherd’s spirit. That prophetic power says, “Oh God, my babies, my babies, my babies.”
God, the pressure that’s on his wife, God. A wife has so much pressure. God, I want You to help Sis. Stacey Lord, pressure, pressure. Lord, as she goes, God, Lord Jesus… But God, You see how she tries to hold things together, God.
It’s just like, “God, I get tired and Lord I don’t have nobody trying to help me.” (Tongues) Oh sisters, you need to help this woman right here. God said you need to hold her hands up, you need to come and help her. Hallelujah. (Tongues) God we speak peace to this house, this messenger, Lord. Lord, let peace remain in this place while he’s gone, let peace be in this place, that these sheep will pray for their shepherd.
While he’s gone in Germany, God let these sheep be praying. Lord, because there’s a camp meeting coming and I don’t believe we’ve ever had one like it. The blind’s going to see, and the deaf’s going to hear and the dumb’s going to speak and the deaf’s going to hear, Lord, and the crippled’s going to walk.
Lord, and we’re concerned because, God, you’ve sent us to the mission field, you sent us where they don’t want to go, we go. Lord, in Jesus’ Name, help this shepherd’s sheep. Lord those that have wisdom, let them help hold the church together. Those that have knowledge, let them instruct, God. Let the old saints, the elders pray with the younger, and the younger pray with the elders.
Let a spirit of brotherly kindness and the love of God be on everybody in here Lord. Jesus, give us the spirit of valor, Lord, to stand fast in the time of trouble. I believe it’s coming brother, here it is. Peace, the Peace Speaker’s here.
Speak it brother, you’re a man of God, peace is here, we need peace, we need peace, we need peace, we need peace. How many loves the Lord? There’s going to be peace. Sister, I minister to you. It’s like everybody else get’s called out, but it’s your time. It’s like, “Lord, you know, just because I’m the pastor’s wife, that don’t mean I don’t need a touch, I need help.”
God said, “You’re worried, you’re worried, like worried down, you need an uplifting in your soul. Last Sunday night was like a deliverance, but tonight’s going to be a greater thing. Cause tonight, Sis. the Holy Ghost… thus saith the Holy Ghost, “I’m going to bless you. I am going to help your family.” Oh God, oh. Hallelujah. “I’m going to pour out on you. Because that you’re here and I put you together, I pour out upon you, anointing.”
There’s an anointing on you. Hallelujah. People may take for granted, but there’s an anointing in you and on you. That’s right. Hallelujah. There’s a power, a leader in you, to help people. Hallelujah.
But sometimes you need your hands lifted up like Moses. The Holy Ghost comes to lift your hands tonight. Jesus comes here tonight to give you comfort, to be peace. Give her peace, Holy Ghost, give her peace. Holy Ghost, give her peace of mind tonight God.
Lift these burdens off of her. Oh (Tongues). God, I deliver her from this oppression Lord, God in Jesus Name. You can’t hide it from God, God’s going to bring up a deliverance of you on the mind in Jesus Name, for the Lord has spoken. Hallelujah. I feel the Holy Ghost in here. Yes, yes. God, my God.
God sees how you miss people that you love, family. He sees a broken-ness that you can’t hide from Him. He sees a… that you just, some that you just give and love them, but there’s some that’s said things to you years ago. Hallelujah.
But your family, you miss. You miss things, but you know that God’s called you. God has anointed you to stand with this man. Sometimes the way’s hard and you don’t understand, you don’t understand even your husband. That was the Lord right there.
Some things, you don’t understand, but the Holy Ghost is going to bless you. You’ve got a hard task and it wears you down. Daughter, you’re anointed of God. You’re anointed, the things you say to people it’s anointed. God gives you wisdom what to say sometimes. Hallelujah.
He’s given you a spirit, you can’t help it, it’s just in you, it was given to you by God you worry about so many. But God gave you that gift. But there’s a spirit of prayer fixing to come on you, oh. You’re going to quit worrying so much, there’s going to come a prayer.
Brother Shelley, she’s your wife you’ll see her, she’s in your house. But through last Sunday night, God said a spirit of broken-ness is going to come on you and you’re going to pray like you’ve never prayed.
There’s a longing in you to feel really close to God, cause this is the day. Hallelujah and you know it, you can feel it that it’s ending. Hallelujah. It’s a struggle sometimes. It’s like I see you wrestling with your sheets. It’s like a struggle sometimes, it’s just like you just want to pull your hair out.
But there’s going to come a deliverance to your home. God’s going to help this prophetic power that’s on you and your husband. You can’t help but have some of that anointing, God said, “You’re around him.” Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I said, there’s a prophetic power got on you. (Tongues) Glory. Jesus anointed you. That spirit of prophecy which is the testimony of Jesus.
You see things about people, you don’t always say it and tell other people, but you see things about people and it’s right. You’ve told your husband things and it was that way, that he didn’t even see. It’s because God put you all together and you’ve got the anointing. How many loves the Lord? Hallelujah… Glory to God (Tongues).
God said, when you was a little girl, eleven years old, He was there watching you. You always knew you’d marry somebody, God, hallelujah, it was going to be a little different. Jesus [Ed., Unclear Audio]
Boy I feel the Spirit, God, I can feel Him, He’s right here close to us. How many loves the Lord?
Wait on Me & I’ll Show You that I Haven’t Changed
June 16, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
The Lord would say unto thee this night, if you’ll wait upon Me, saith the Lord, yea, if you’ll prepare yourself for Me, saith the Lord, I intend to show you this night that I am God and that I have not changed. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I have sensed your nervousness, saith the Lord. And I’ve even seen as some would pull away from Me. But I would say unto you that I have deliverance for you, saith the Lord.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I have seen you with My eyes. Yea, I have seen the spirit of addiction in your midst, saith the Lord. And I have seen how some of you are dependent on those things that bring you a moment of relief, a moment of peace. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I have seen you as you’ve swallowed the pills to find relief, to find peace. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, if you would look to Me tonight, I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. Yea, I the hand of the living God would stretch forth unto thee and deliver thee and set thee free, saith God.
For yea I would say unto thee, that which thou seest in thy midst is My whole Word. For I have said to My people in My Word, dance before Me. Yea, I have said praise the Lord in the dance. Yea, I have said praise the Lord with a loud voice. Yea, I have said clap your hands unto the Lord. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, I have sensed thee. And I have seen thee in thy need.
And yea, if you’ll not run from this place in fear, but if you will respond to the wooing of My Spirit, yea I the Lord thy God do desire to deliver thee and to set thee free. I have seen thee in thy dishonesty. I have seen you even as you have lied to the doctor. The Lord has seen you, saith God. Just so that you could have a moment’s relief. Just so you could have another pill to swallow.
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I saw you when you lied. And I’ve reached My hand out this night to deliver thee and to help thee. But the Lord would say unto thee, the choice is yours.
Yea, I call to My people. Wait upon Me. Worship Me. Praise Me. Enter into the Glory of the Lord. And yea, I will do that which I have spoken. But I call unto thee, do not run from Me. But run to Me. For the choice is yours. The Lord would say unto thee this night, I’m calling to you now. And if you’ll not hear my voice…
Yea the Lord would say unto thee, I have spared you at least two times when you would have destroyed your own life. But I the Lord thy God would come and give you help and give you relief. Yea, I would not only set you free, but I would set others around you free, if you’ll look to Me. For I am the living God, and I change not. Yea, I desire to open your eyes, so that you can see that I am still alive.
Yea, I’m not just a figure in a dusty book. But I’m walking in the midst of My people around the world. Yea the Lord would say unto thee, look unto Me and live. For I’m giving you an opportunity to cast your eyes upon Me and know Me. And I would reveal Myself unto thee if you’ll wait upon Me, saith the Lord.
Forging of a Signature
June 16, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
When the word of the Lord was going forth, I saw a vision. And I saw the hand of a woman. And I saw that this woman was practicing on a piece of paper, signing her name, a name, on this piece of paper, over and over again. She had signed a name. And it wasn’t her name. But she was forging someone else’s signature. And the Lord said, “I saw you when you were doing that.” Because you’re bound and you can’t get free.
And if God loves us enough to reveal that we’re bound tonight… God loves us enough to reveal that we need deliverance tonight. It’s because He wants to deliver us.Not because He wants to embarrass us but because He wants to set us free.
Commit Your Ways to Me
July 7, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night. My children, even during the day, I have known your thoughts, saith the Lord. Yea, I’ve known even the things that you have turned over in your mind. Yea, many of you have turned things over and over in your mind. Things that you could burn, things that you could boil, things that you could lay aside.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee even in this place tonight, the Lord, thy God, I do know the struggle. Yea, I feel the warfare going on within thee, saith the Lord. Yea, I see that some of you refrain to make the commitment. Yea, I see that some of you are afraid to say, “I’ll lay it aside,” because you’re so afraid that you want it again, that you’ll pick it up again, and what a mockery it would be.
But yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee this night, if you will commit Your ways to Me, if You will make a commitment with Me, a covenant with Me this night, saying from the depth of your inner being that you desire to lay all aside to follow Me, then, said God, I will lift you from this sifting, shifting sand. You shall no longer know the sinking, you shall no longer know the shifting, but I shall establish you on solid ground, saith the Lord.
And yea, I shall use you, saith God, as an eagle to soar back through the valley, dropping handfuls on purpose for those who are struggling to get back to the place from whence they were born.
Yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee that it is My desire to revolutionize your life, to set you afire, saith the Lord, in such a way that you would not even know yourself. The Lord would say unto thee, struggle no longer, but commit Thy ways unto Me. Yea, the Lord would say, “Struggle no more for your own way, but surrender to My way.” And you shall know My blessings, and you shall know My provision. And yea, I shall feed you with hidden manna, saith the Lord.
Arched Over the World
July 21, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And even in the night last night how God dealt with me. I saw myself lifted above my bed in the Spirit. And I was… I remember hearing my back. It sounds very odd. I shouldn’t tell it.
I remember my back popping in the night. It really popped. I’m laying flat on the bed. But it really popped. You know that low, like when pressure is applied to the base of your spine there, and it gives you that good chiropractic pop. I felt that. I was laying there.
My body just heavy, like I was weighted down to the bed. Everything so heavy. And all of a sudden, I heard and felt my back pop. And as it did I was lifted in the Spirit, in vision or… Not dream, but in vision or reality. I don’t know how to explain it. But when I was lifted, it popped my back. And that really made me alert.
And when I realized what had happened, I was laying in a curved position like this. My back was arched. I was lifted above the bed. Must have been in vision. And my body was arced like this. In other words, my big belly was stuck way up high, and my head was low and my feet were low. I was arced like that.
And I thought, “What is this under my back that’s lifted me up off the bed?” And I turned to the left, and then to the right. And underneath my back was a globe. And I was laying arced, arched over the world.
I know that God was speaking to me. But exactly what it means I couldn’t tell you. But I know that this is a heavenly time. It’s a time to pursue the Kingdom of God with everything that’s within us.
Bride of Christ in Labor Pains
July 21, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw the Bride of Christ in labor. I saw her in labor. I saw her. Listen now. Real soft. I saw her in labor, and I saw that her pain was excruciating. And I saw someone with a needle trying to ease her pain of labor. And her labor stopped.
Did you know that can happen? Did you know that a woman can be in labor and they give her certain drugs to ease her pain? And it can stop her labor? It’s very dangerous. That’s why it’s so much better to have natural childbirth without spinal blocs and pain medication. If they give that medication too late and it has that kind of an effect where it stops the labor, if the child or the baby has already dropped into the birth canal, and the labor stops, those muscles can clamp down on that baby and suffocate the child in the birth canal.
I saw the Bride of Christ in labor. I saw somebody meaning well, meaning well, desiring to ease her pain. It stopped her labor. Oh Church, we don’t want to stop the labor. We want it to be born. What is this Man-child that’s to be born among us? It’s Christ.
How many of you know it? How many of you know what I’m saying? How many of you know there’s a Man-child to be born in this day? There’s a Christ to be born in the womb of the Spirit – the Bride of Christ. The Apostle said, “Little children, I travail in birth for you until Christ be formed in you.”
There’s a bringing forth of Christ. There’s a manifestation. There’s a birth of Christ that has to take place in the Bride. She has to bring Him on the scene. And it’s not like she’ll reach in and take Him out of her pocket and hold Him in her hand. It’s not coming forth from her pocket. He’s coming forth from her womb. Because she has received the Word-seed. She has received the Word as seed into her womb. And that seed it coming to its maturity, it’s forming. That life is forming within her until it comes to its time of maturity to be born. Christ in you, the Hope of Glory, will not be premature. He won’t be a preemie. Do you understand what I’m saying?
But when the Bride of Christ brings Him on the scene, He will ready, formed in us. Fully and completely. All the virtues and all of the attributes of God will come forth in us. So don’t stop that little Bride when she’s in labor. You pray strength to her, that God will strengthen her to bring forth. But don’t try to take her travail from her. Don’t try to take her labor from her. Let her bring Christ forth.
Ripened Figs
July 21, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I want to share two things the Lord showed me while we worshiping the Lord. They seem very different. They always do. And I know that I’ve been thinking a lot about figs, because it’s that time of the year. My wife and I picked some fig, and Sister Carmen is preserving them. And the other day when we were picking figs, the Lord was dealing with me.
When we first started singing, the Presence of the Lord was… Not during the shouting, but after that. I saw a fig tree, not like mine. Not mine, but like mine. And it… Every fig (That’s the reason I know it couldn’t be mine right now because I’ve got more green figs than I do ripe ones.) But every fig on this tree was ripe. I mean, beautiful. You know how beautiful figs are when they’re ripe. And they were so swelled with nectar, so swelled with sweetness, that they were beginning to burst open.
Transference of the Mantle
July 21, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And as soon as that passed, I saw a mantle, a Tallit. I saw it as it was falling from the sky, and it began to drift down like this until it fell right in this place. I believe the Lord is showing us, as we spoke just a few weeks ago, I believe the Lord is showing us a transference of the mantle of the Lord.
I believe He’s showing us that that anointing is going to fall on us to cause us to rise up quickly and do the will of God. I believe the ripened figs on the vine mean one thing, and one thing only. It’s manifesting time, the fruit is on the vine. Hallelujah. Harvest maturity is upon us.
And the Lord is sending down that mantle of anointing. But how many of you know it’ll just lay on the floor, it’ll just lay on the floor until somebody dares to pick it up and smite the water and say, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?”
My Desire to Joy over You with Singing
July 28, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
For the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. He’s mighty. He will deliver thee. Hallelujah. For the Lord shall lift you up with wings of the morning. For the Lord shall cause you to stand upon the high places. Look down and see your circumstances, saith the Lord. He will lift you up into the high places, and allow you to look down and see where you’ve been, where He’s brought you from.
For the Lord would say, some of you will look down from high places, and see your sick body, your weakened body, and realize that you’ve left it behind. You’ll realize you’ve left that sickened body behind. And the Lord has given you divine health. For the Lord would say unto thee this night, there is not a few, but many of you. Your health shall spring forth speedily. You shall know the healing of the Lord. You shall know restoration in your body.
For even now the Lord would say unto thee, I’m touching your blood. Yea, I’m speaking even now to your blood pressure, saith the Lord. I shall not allow it to continue as it has been. But I, the living God, shall regulate it even now, saith the Lord.
Even now the Lord is speaking to that pain that has been pressing in on your chest. The Lord would say tonight; I shall move it before you leave this place. When I’ve lifted you up, you shall look back and see your infirmity behind you. You’ll see the weakness of your flesh behind you. You will know that I have lifted you to higher places. Higher places, saith the Lord.
For it is the Lord’s desire tonight to joy over you. I desire to joy over you with singing. For the Lord would say, let Me sing health to you. Let Me sing healing to your bones, saith the Lord. Let Me sing healing to your knees, saith the Lord. Let Me sing healing to your hip, saith the Lord. For it is My desire to joy over you with singing. Hallelujah. And cause you to be lifted up with wings of the morning.
Casting Bread on the Water
July 30, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I laid down for just a few minutes on the bed to rest, no sleep, but just ten minutes of rest. And I started praying for some things, some needs. The Lord knows all about them. And all of the sudden a vision broke before my eyes. And I don’t often see myself in the vision. But I was standing on the sea, standing on the beach, next to the sea. I saw myself. And I had one little loaf of bread, just one little loaf of bread in my hand and I was feeding that bread to the sea.
You know what the Bible said. Just breaking off little pieces of that bread. I saw it so real, so plain. Just breaking off little pieces of bread. And if I thought it was only for me, I wouldn’t even tell it. But I believe it’s for every one of you that’ll claim it. Just breaking off little pieces of bread. And I was standing there, watching the waves carry the bread out. And I said, “Lord, that’s only half of what Your Word said.” In this vision, I just looked right up, “Lord, this is only half of what Your Word said.” And all of the sudden I began to look out on the water.
And you can believe this if you want to, if you don’t, pray about it. But I saw huge loaves, big loaves, this big and longer, floating back on the water. Not one, but many, a multitude of loaves. And the Lord spoke to my heart and He said, “If you’ll just keep casting your bread on the water, not many days hence, it will return to you.” Hallelujah. And it won’t just return in little pieces. Oh hallelujah. It won’t just return… And just before the vision left, just before the vision left, I stooped down and picked up one of those loaves and it should’ve been soggy. It should have been full of water and soggy. But it was warm, like it had just come from the oven.
Cast your bread upon the water and not many days hence it will return to you, is the promise of the Lord. So I just want to encourage you. Keep casting your bread upon the water. Keep sowing into the work of God with your finances, with your life, with your dedication, with everything that’s within you. With your praise, with your worship, with your devotion, whatever you have to sow.
For the Bible teaches us that whatever we sow into the heavens, God is going to sow it back down to us on the earth. It’s a fixed law. Whatever goes up, has to come down. And the Bible teaches us in the book of Psalms that when we sow our praise into the heavenlies, the blessings of the Lord fall upon us like rain. So just let me encourage you tonight. Keep sowing. Keep casting bread. That little bitty loaf that I was pulling from was pretty small. And that may be all you feel like you have tonight is a little bitty loaf.
Lord, what do I have? What talents do I have? What giftings do I have? But you keep pulling from the loaf that you have and God has promised us, He’d send us an abundance of loaves of bread. Give God another shout of praise.
The End Is Nigh
August 2, 2002 (Friday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Livingston
…in this hour in a mighty way. I come forth to pour out My Spirit. I say, hear Me this night. Hear My servant what I’ve sent with this Word. I say to you, repent quickly, for the time is nigh, saith the Lord. The end is nigh and close. For My coming is close…
Capstone Coming Down
August 5, 2002 (Monday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Hagan
Some things today… Praise the Lord. Was a… Was speaking about the future and about what God’s doing to do. And I seen something today about… I seen a pyramid. The capstone was at the top, which is the completion. And how many’s ever seen that man Atlas, that holds up the world? I seen this muscle man holding that top capstone. He was standing on the pyramid and holding up the top. And he’s… Like he was fixing to just give out, and he was going to have to set it down. And then… Praise God.
Satan Desires to Drive a Wedge
August 25, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Helen Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Obey the Lord. I believe someone is getting that interpretation. Obey the Lord. Lord, we bind the fear of man in the Name of Jesus. We take authority. Hallelujah. Even if you feel like you’re getting a portion, speak. You’re bothering the service.
For the Lord would say unto thee in this hour, do not draw away from Me. But draw unto Me, saith the Lord. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in the distance between us the enemy can move in. Yea, satan can place a wedge, saith the Lord, between you and I.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I see you. I see you that have pulled away. And I call you tonight to draw near unto Me, saith the Lord. If you desire for Me to move in your life, if you desire for Me to work deliverance and provide in your life, then I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, “Call unto Me. Call unto Me. Call unto Me, and I will hear you, saith the Lord.” Yea, I will drive away the wedge that the enemy is trying to place between Me and thee. Do not allow satan to push you or pull you away. But draw nigh unto Me, saith the Lord.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have desired to do great and mighty things. This is the hour, this is the time, this is the season. Yea, I say unto you, if you think satan will stand back and just allow it to happen without putting up a fuss, he will not. But yea, I will stand with thee, saith the Lord, and I will drive him out from the midst of thee, if you’ll draw nigh unto Me, said the Living God. Hallelujah.
God’s Hand Kneading the Dough
August 25, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I saw just a moment in the Spirit, the hand of the Lord, as it were kneading in the dough. I saw the strong hand of the Lord as He was kneading the dough. Not sure exactly where to place it, except to tell you that the Lord’s hand is in the situation.
Maybe you’re facing something tonight, a situation, and you’re not sure where the Lord is. He’s right there. His hand is squeezing. The squeezing that you feel, the pressing that you feel, you want to blame on the devil. But the Lord said, “It’s My hand. I’m kneading the dough. You’re Mine.” You see, the lump belongs to the Lord. Isn’t that what the Bible said? The lump is His.
And I don’t know about you, but I desire that. I long for God to knead me, to shake me and mold me and mix me and make me pliable. A lump of dough is not good for anything. But if the hand of God kneads it and prepares it and gets it ready, He can make a loaf in the oven.
So I think we ought to just slip our hand to the Lord and thank Him that His hand is still in our life. Whether we recognize Him, whether we sense Him, whether we feel Him. Let’s thank Him tonight that He’s still working in the dough. Hallelujah…
He’s not forsaken you. He’s not forgotten you. His hand is squeezing you, molding you, and shaping you and mixing you. Because He’s got something He wants to do in your life. Does not the Potter have power over the clay? Hallelujah.
Stability Is Coming
September 1, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
This may sound very strange. But while we were worshiping the Lord, I saw in a vision, just a quick vision. I saw someone standing on the shore of a waterway of some kind, a body of water. And I saw laying out in the water, floating on top of the water what looked like a… I want to say a two-by-four. But it must have been a little wider than that, maybe… Is there such thing as a two-by-six? Or would it be a one by six? I’m not a carpenter. But it seemed a little wider than a two by four.
And there was just enough ripple in the water to make that piece of board jiggle in the water. I’m not good at describing things sometime. There was just enough disturbance in the water that that board… And I saw… It was a man in the vision. I could see that it was a man’s pants, trousers. That’s all that wears pants is men, if they got the Holy Ghost, right? And so I saw that this person was about to step out on that board. But they hesitated because of the turbulence. The shifting of the water was making that board… And I saw that leg rock out and rock back and rock out and rock back, with great hesitation.
Finally, I don’t know what it was. But something must have given faith and courage, because I saw that man’s leg step out onto that board. And when he did, it became stable, like a bridge. Instead of just one long board, it became a bridge. And as he would walk down that long board, another one would appear, and another one would appear, and another would appear. And it really made a bridge.
The Spirit of the Lord wants me to decree in the Spirit right now that stability is coming. And the Spirit of the Lord wants me to say tonight, you that have hesitated and been afraid to step out, and to step into and onto what God has placed before you, the enemy has tried to discourage you from moving forward. But the Spirit of the Lord would say to you tonight, if you’ll step out, not be afraid to put your foot on that board that God’s provided… It didn’t just materialize of it’s own accord.
God has placed something there to make a bridge for you. If you’ll go on and step out, the stabilization will come. It’s coming. It’s coming. And God said He’ll make a way. It’ll be like a bridge. What looks like a shaky board will become a bridge. Hallelujah. I pray somebody can make sense of that. Because I believe it’s straight from the Lord. I believe we could all claim it if we wanted to tonight. Hallelujah. Thank You, Jesus.
Don’t Yield to the Temptation
September 8, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
With all this praise, I just want to say something to someone. The Lord… it’s been on my heart all morning. But to that one who has been so tempted, over and over and over, the Lord said that that temptation is not sin until you yield to it. Don’t yield. Don’t yield. All you have to do is take one step away from that temptation and the Lord will strengthen you. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Cast Your Burden upon Me
September 8, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
Draw near unto Me, saith the Lord. And if you will draw near unto Me, I will gather thee, saith God, with My feathers. And I shall cover thee with my wings and I shall heal thee, saith the Lord. Those who are weary and those who are heavy laden, those who have carried a burden, saith God, I will cover you, if you will draw near unto Me. Draw near unto Me, saith the Lord.
For I call unto thee, I beckon unto thee, saith the Lord, if you will come I shall give you that which you have asked Me for, saith the Lord.
For the weight is too heavy for you to carry. And if you continue to carry it, saith the Lord, it shall bow you down very heavy so that you can’t even walk, so that you can’t even go about your daily duties. But give it to Me, saith the Lord, draw nigh unto Me, and cast thy burden upon Me and I will bear it, saith the Lord.
Crying Out on Behalf of God’s People
September 15, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jeffier Propst
I had a dream this morning right before I woke up. In my dream, in my dream, I see God’s people, Satan was tormenting, oh, at every hand. I see so many torments. But in my dream, I know there’s, it’s nothing that I can do. But I heard me crying out to the Lord, oh, on behalf of God’s people.
Father, in the Name of Jesus. Lord, I drive back, Father, every spirit, God, that would come and torment the children of God, Lord. Not by any power, Lord that I have, but by the power that’s in You, Jesus. Oh, Father, that which torments the mind, Lord Jesus. Father, that would stop up the ears God, that they can’t hear Your voice Lord.
Oh, Father, I just thank You and I praise You, Lord Jesus. Oh, by Your Spirit God, by Your Holy Spirit, Lord, oh God. Father, Satan will be pushed back. God, Father, that Your people could go on, Lord. (Tongues)
Wisdom & Knowledge for the President
September 29, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
Before we move on, just happened to look down here and I saw the capital and my heart went out to the capital. And I saw the Lord’s hand, hanging over the capital, moving. And in my spirit, I knew that the Lord was dropping wisdom into President Bush, giving him wisdom for the situations that he’s about to have to face.
Hallelujah. I believe that’s all been in our hearts and been in our prayers that God would give him wisdom and knowledge and I believe He’s doing that now. Hallelujah. Dropping it.
Clouds Swelling with Rain
October 5, 2002 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
Tonight in the Spirit, I could see those heavy, heavy clouds. I could see clouds that were heavy and darkened and swelling with rain. Hallelujah. And I believe the Lord desires to release that fresh new rain that someone was speaking about recently here.
I see those clouds swelling, bulging with water, ready to release in the land. Hallelujah. Last night I, as we were in the service here, I had a word and I didn’t feel the freedom at the moment to release it.
One Last Move of God
October 5, 2002 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see those flaming words again. I see words on fire. I see a people like wood and words like fire to devour. I see falsehood. Lies. I see falsehoods. I see lies. I see wrong ideas and interpretations bowing before you as you go forth in truth, as you go forth in truth.
Let the revelation of Jesus Christ overtake you. Let God stir in you tonight… If I could, if I could pray one thing, if I could impart one thing, if I could plead with God for one thing in your life, it would be a hunger for His Word. A hunger for His Word. His Word. The revelation of His Word is what it’s going to take to be changed.
Our mortal bodies are going to be changed by the revelation of His Word. Our mortal, physical bodies are going to be changed by the revelation of His Word. Did you know there’s coming a Bride forth in the last days, who’ll have the power of the spoken word in their lives?
Did you know that there’s going to be one last move of God in the earth that’s going to bring about even the creative miracles? I don’t mean one here and one there. But I mean God’s going to show Himself real, even in this city.
In 1998, I think it was, after I had left the Ashland Camp, the winter camp, I came home and was ministering one night and God showed me a table. It’s a little bit gory to think about. But it wasn’t gory to see in the spirit.
God showed me a table. And on that table I saw arms, I saw legs, I saw fingers, I saw hearts and livers and kidneys. And the Lord said, “I have all of these.” Boy, that was hard for me to declare because it sounded so strange. But I declared it.
I declare it again tonight. The Lord said, “I have new hearts for those who need new hearts.” And you know that’s something God can do on the inside. But what are you going to do when God gives somebody an arm?
Somebody said, “I don’t believe that.” Doesn’t matter to me what you believe. I could not let my faith me dampered by your lack thereof. If God can cause a starfish to grow another arm, don’t you believe that God is able to restore missing limbs as one last quick short manifestation of His Glory? Oh yes, I believe it.
I can tell, there’s a few of you that do and few of you that haven’t yet reached that far. Keep reaching. Keep reaching. Keep reaching. The only reason why that would matter to you, is if you needed it.
Revival in the Outskirts of Damascus
October 5, 2002 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
As we were praying for the Middle East and different countries by name, the Lord spoke to me so beautifully about Syria. And I saw a revival that had already started. Perhaps we don’t know about it.
We don’t know exactly where it is. But I knew it was in the area of Damascus. I knew it wasn’t in Damascus, but on the outskirts of Damascus. And I could see it growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing. Hallelujah.
So all of you that have prayed and sown and believed and prophesied at the Golan Heights, God is hearing those prayers and those declarations. Something is moving even now. I sense, this minute, this second something’s moving in Syria. Hallelujah.
And you’ve got a part of it. Glory to God. Would you just lift that to the Lord right now? We receive for our brothers and sisters. For those behind the veil of false religion. We believe. Hallelujah. We thank You for those heavy clouds over this land. (Tongues).
The early and the latter rain in the same month. We declare it. We declare it. We declare it. Hallelujah. Harvest rain. (Tongues). Hallelujah. Wonderful is the Lord. Wonderful is the Lord.
Hear the Word of the Lord & Speak
October 8, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee this night, yea I shall awaken My Bride. I shall raise her up from the darkness saith the Lord. For the hour is short, and the hour is late, saith God and the darkness has covered the land. Yea, gross darkness, saith God.
But I will arise. I will arise. I will arise. And I shall cause light to shine upon My people and yea, that which is upon them, it shall fall away. Yea, that which is upon them, it shall vanish, saith the Lord. Yea, it shall vanish and I shall do a great work through thee. I shall do a great work in your voice.
Yea, it shall be the voice of deliverance. It shall be the voice of resurrection. Yea, ye shall raise the dead, ye shall cause blind eyes to open. Yea, the sick shall be healed. Yea, the lame shall walk again. Oh, hallelujah. The dumb shall talk. And yea, I shall do this all through thee. You shall see great deliverance in this day, saith God. Yea, through your hands.
For yea, this is the hour, this is the hour. It is the hour and I am roaring, saith the Lord. I am roaring from the heavenlies. My voice is going forth. Yea, it’s going forth this hour. And hear the Word of the Lord and speak. Speak. Speak. Speak for I have spoken. I have spoken My Word and it shall come to pass, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. (Tongues). Thank You Lord… Hallelujah…
As I spoke that, I could feel that line. That line going out through all the earth. The Voice of the Lord going out through all the earth. And I wasn’t even through. Hallelujah. But the Lord’s speaking.
Spain Convulsing in Birth & Sending Jews Back to Israel
October 13, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just had a vision. I saw the nation of Spain just as it appears on the map. I saw the edge, the outline of the nation of Spain. And I saw it convulsing on the map and spitting Jews toward Israel. I saw the nation of Spain convulsing in birth and spitting Jews toward Jerusalem.
Claim that with me right now. God bring every Sephardic Jew, every Spanish Jew out of the land of Spain. Take them home now. Take them home on the wings of eagles. Take them home oh God so they can fulfill Your end time plan.
Tangled Wires of the Past
October 13, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’m seeing a vision now. And I’m seeing tons and tons… I shouldn’t say tons, but a mass of wires. Like electrical wires, running in every direction. Plugged into what looks like a circuit box. But it’s the biggest mess I’ve ever seen. Wires crossed over one another. And it reminds me of the back of a cross-stitch where somebody hasn’t taken time to change the thread, and they’ve just made a cross across the back of their needlework and made such a mess on the back because it’s going to be hidden.
The Spirit of the Lord is speaking to me about all these tangled wires in people’s lives that need to be sorted out. And God is saying to me by the Spirit, to tell you that some of you are never going to find peace in the Spirit… And some of you are never going to be able to get over the past…
The Word of the Lord is to some of you tonight, because you’re living in the past. You’re living in the hurts of the past. And you’re not able to go on to the future. You’re not able to look with hope to what God’s about to do in your life and in your family and for those you love, because you keep living in the tangled wires of the past.
But the Word of the Lord is to you this night, and God wants me to tell you to begin to untangle your life. Some of you are living at the most complicated hour of your life and you’ve done it to yourself. You’ve allowed yourself to become enslaved and entangled.
One of the things the Lord spoke to me on the day I was fasting and praying. He said, “The property that I’ve given you…” Some of you know that the German couple gave us two mobile homes and a little piece of land.
Brother and Sister Pretzschner gave my wife and I two mobile homes and a piece of land. And when we heard it, we knew that it was God’s way of helping us to pay ourselves out of credit card debt, so that we could go on to what God had called us to do.
Shears of the Lord Coming to Cut Bonds
October 15, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see like scissors, Lord, in the Spirit, Lord, cutting. That’s another way that things can be rent. I see the scissors, the shears of the Lord coming to cut ties, bonds that need to be cut, loosed, cut asunder.
Lord, some of us are chained to things that we don’t need to be chained to. Come by the Holy Ghost. Lord, as we enter Your Presence in these next few days, give us an ear to hear the commandments that You might whisper to us from Sinai. Give us a heart to receive the, “Thou shalt nots,” that You send to guide us and lead us and keep us in the way.
Lord, I recognize that all of Your commandments in my life are for my own protection to keep me, oh God in the place that You could use me. Not only here, but in the nations. Lord, consume us with zeal. Let the fire of God burn in us so, so strong and so bright, so contagious that revival is birthed in us, the outpouring of Your Spirit in our lives.
God, we don’t want just excitement, but we want something to motivate us to run all the way. Oh God, prepare us for that, that’s coming. In the Name of Jesus.
A Blow to A Man’s Face
October 20, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw a man’s face and I couldn’t tell who the man was. But I saw a man’s face and I saw a blow come to his face. I couldn’t see a hand or a tree, or whatever it was.But I saw a blow come to his face that broke his jawbone.
And I saw the jawbone break.And I knew that it wasn’t the jawbone of a donkey. And I knew it wasn’t spiritual about, you know, Samson and these kinds of things.I saw it was a human, a man.And I saw this blow come to his facethat broke his jawbone.
And I even asked the Lord about it one time. “Lord, what was that?“He said, “It’s the breaking of human jawbone.” And I don’t know if it’s in the natural.
I don’t know if somebody is in danger physically,the devil would like to cause you to have an accident or something. It could have easily happened like that to Brother Brucewith the testimony he gave.If that thing would have hit him just right in the face,it could have broke his jawboneinstead of hitting him in the head like that.But God protected him.
And I don’t know if it’s because we should pray for someone’s physical protection,or if the jawbone represents something else and it’s a spiritual thing.
I know you don’t know how to pray about it because I don’t. But would you help me commit it to the Lord?
Holding on to Something God Wants You to Release
October 20, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
And I saw in the Spirit. Tuesday night as I was preaching, the hand that was tightening down on something. (I’m talking to you.) Tightening down on something until the knuckles became white. You could see the vessels of the wrist on top of the hand, forehand, bulging, as someone was struggling with everything they had, and all the strength that was within them, to hold on to something that God wants you to release.
I thought about it this morning as I was praying. God knows how to wrestle these things out of your hand. But how many of you know that even in a children’s wrestling match, the longer it lasts, the more likely it is that someone is going to get hurt. It’s all right to rough-house sometimes. But the longer it goes on, the more likely it is that somebody is going to get hurt.
An Excitement Coming to Someone’s Life
November 9, 2002 (Saturday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
When we were speaking in the early part of the service about an awakening taking place among the people in Jerusalem, I was speaking generally over the city. But the Lord just dropped a word into my heart. I know that it would be special for Martina, because I know her love and burden. But the Lord just dropped a word into my heart about something happening in the spirit realm, even in the old city. Hallelujah.
I don’t know who it would be, or where they would be, or where they’re living. But I was just sensing an awakening in somebody’s heart, a quickening in their spirit. And for just a split second, in the Spirit, I was feeling the excitement that somebody’s feeling. Hallelujah.
There’s an excitement coming into somebody’s life. And they don’t know what it’s all about. Hallelujah. But they know that something’s changing, and something’s happening. And they’re asking; they’re enquiring. Oh, God, send the right answers, Lord, their way. Hallelujah. Send the right answers, Lord, so that revival can come forth. In the wonderful Name of Yeshua.
Born for a Purpose
November 17, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word to the Young People
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Word of the Lord to the young people of this church is this, you’re playing around is just about over. The Lord said for me to tell you, it’s time to quit playing with God. And the Lord’s taking me to something that was said this morning about Eve. And the Lord said some of you stand tonight, not last night, not tomorrow night, but some of you stand tonight in the place where Eve was standing. That you’re holding on to the Lord with one hand and to the things you want with the other hand.
But the Lord said for me to tell the young people of this church, that it’s time to turn loose of what you want and turn loose of the things of this life and the things of this world.
The Lord said for me to tell you, you weren’t born into a family to bring pride to that family because you were a great lawyer, or a great doctor, or a great banker, or a great artist. The Lord said you were born into the family that you were born into, because you were going to bring honor to God and honor to your family by living a life dedicated to the Bridegroom, to the Word of God.
And because of the commission that’s in your life, the honor that you’re going to bring to your family is not going to be one of riches, but it’s going to be one of obedience to the Word of the Lord. And I’m going to say this and I hesitate to say it with visitors present. I hate to say this. But the Lord is giving it to me so strong.
You’re going to work for God or you’re not going to live. You’re going to work for God or God’s going to take you home. He’s not going to suffer you to waste your life in the things of this world. You’d better hear me. You better hear me. I’ve never said anything like that. But God said, “You’re mine. You belong to me. I saved you. I called you. I placed you in the family that I placed you in for a reason, and if you think that you’re stubborn will and your own will is going to hinder you, I’m telling you that it’s not going to be able to hinder you.
The Lord is telling me to tell you, you’re going to labor and bring honor to the kingdom of God or you just as well prepare to go home. He’s not going to let you be wasted in the things of this world. Your momma and daddy’s prayed too hard for you. Your pastor’s prayed too hard for you. He’s not going to let you be wasted in the things of this life. (Tongues). Hallelujah.
And I can’t tell… I can’t say this for you other children. I can’t say this. But I tell God this, God be by witness, I’d rather Him take my boys, I’d rather lay them in the ground tonight and know that they were right with God. They’re little children. But if they were teen-agers, I’d say the same thing. I’d rather that, than to have to spend twenty years of my life weeping at a bedside somewhere, because they were out in sin, marrying some ungodly girl or some perverted boy.
Exhilaration of the Maturing Process
November 17, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
The Lord just planted a Word in my spirit and I want to give it to you. I saw a blending of the old and the new. I saw God allowing the old, the foundation, and the new understanding that the Lord desires to put in your spirit, locking together. Will you receive that for your own life? Thank You for the foundation. But Lord, I thank You for the new understanding, for the new reality. I thank You for it. Hallelujah.
The Lord just reminded me as well, as I was standing here of Brother Hagan’s vision that he had. You’ve got to realize this is the day we’re coming to. The Lord gave me the vision first of the little seed coming up. And though it was just a few inches tall, it was already bearing mature fruit. Now what does that mean? That means a speeding up, an exhilaration of the process of maturity.
And then Brother Hagan came. He didn’t know anything about that. And he came and God showed him a vision. He said, there were little naked babies coming out of my stomach, the womb of my spirit, as a Pastor, a leader. He said, “Little naked babies were coming out. And before they fell on the ground, before they came to the ground, they were already clothed and running with the Message.”
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. That’s the time that we’re coming to now. Hallelujah. And although these things are promised to the Jews, because You’re the one that’s going to take it to them, God’s going to let you experience some of that former and latter rain coming in the same month.
Scattering the Seed of God in the Nations
November 17, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see some of you in the Spirit right now, going forth like a flower girl at a wedding. I know that sounds strange. But I see some of you going forth like a flower girl at a wedding. And you’re casting, distributing. It’s not flower petals but it’s the seed of God’s Word like we were preaching this morning.
I see some of you, men and women both being used to scatter the Word of God to the nations of the world. Let’s receive His commission tonight. Let’s tell the Lord, “I’ll go Lord. I’ll go Lord. And I’ll pray. And when I can’t go, I’ll send somebody that can go.” (Tongues).
Waving Us over Israel
November 17, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Jonathan Hollis
I have to tell something I’m seeing right now. I see the Lord waving us over Israel. He’s waving us over Israel. Let Him wave you tonight. Let Him wave His ministry. Let Him wave what He’s doing. Let… You’re the forerunners. You’re the forerunners.
Statue of Liberty in Shambles
November 17, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
We need to pray. I had a vision this morning of the Statue of Liberty in shambles. That could mean literally or it could mean an attack against America. We want to pray again. God warned us before. And I feel that same warning now that we should pray for our country. For our soldiers.
Gathering of the Elected
November 24, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this morning, while you’re standing here, worshiping Me, My Glory is falling around the world, saith the Lord. For I am seeking out My own. For I have come to save, to seek out that which is lost, saith the Lord, and call them to My side. Yea, this is the day of the gathering, saith the Lord. It is the time of the gathering of those who are dispersed.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I am not only gathering My elected in the natural, but I am gathering My elected in the spiritual, saith the Lord. Yea, I am calling both the Jewish elect and the Gentile elect by the same Spirit. For there shall only be one Spirit. There shall only be one Truth. And yea, there shall come a time, saith the Lord, that Jew and Gentile will walk together in Truth, and they shall all go up to Jerusalem and magnify the Lord. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, rejoice.
Yea, I would say unto thee, please, the Lord bids thee not to be a spectator. But I beg of thee, saith God, to enter in, to put yourself in the vision that I have laid before you. For I have not called you this way by accident, saith God. And I’m not called you this way to entertain you. But I have called you this way to fill you with My Spirit, to empower you and to equip you, that I might sow you into the nations of the world.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, this is the time. Rejoice and be glad, for hell is against thee. But it shall not overcome thee. For I am with thee. I have called thee with a divine calling, and I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Rise up, My little Bride, and know that your day is nigh at hand, even at the door, saith the Lord of host. Hallelujah.
Bride Getting in Step
November 24, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw in the Spirit. As the Word of the Lord was going forth. I saw, even as Brother Branham told us concerning the preview of the Bride. I saw a quick glimpse of that preview of the Bride. And the word that came to my mind was, “Like a parade,” as the Bride was coming in.
The prophet said, here she came, seemed like she was going strong singing, “We’re marching to Zion, beautiful Zion.” And here came that American bride, and oh, she looked just like the world. She was twisting her body like the world, and dressed in tight clothes like the world. There came a voice, the prophet of God, the anointing of God spoke out of him and said, Little Bride, get in step.”
I could see. What I saw just now in a preview was the Bride watching her step. She was hearing that Word, “Get in step.” And I saw her literally checking her, looked like, to describe it is hard. But I could see her stooping her shoulders and checking, as she was looking at her feet and her ankles, as though she wanted to make sure that everything was in working order.
And I saw her looking ahead of her, so that she could match the cadence of those who had walked before her. You see. (Tongues) You see, the Bride that was going before her was in perfect order. But here she came in out of whack. But I saw her watching, as though she was trying to gain control of her own ankles, that she might be able to control with judgment and discernment her own steps.
And when she had checked out her equipment, so to speak, she looked just ahead. Not lifting her head up, but lifting her head not straight up, but glancing upward. She was watching the movement and the steps of the Bride who was walking before her, so that she could match the cadence of those who had gone before. And the Lord is sowing into my spirit this morning that it’s very important that we look ahead of those…
And notice, I didn’t say “Behind.” Because those who have been behind us are now in front of us. And they’re now leading us. And so it’s very important that we look ahead and we try to match the cadence of that Bride who came forth in perfect order. Hallelujah. Would you just… Even if you don’t understand the word, just lift your hand and thank God for it and ask Him to give you understanding of the new move of God that’s being born.
Israel Ready for Seed
November 24, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I had a vision this morning. I went in the room and told my wife. While I was sitting at my desk, the Lord gave me a vision. And I think my wife was distracted with the boys. They’ve lost a lot of sleep lately. And I think she was distracted with them. And I looked back at her during the service and I said, “Did you hear what he just said? (Did you hear it or did you miss it?) What did he say? The very same word that the Lord had spoken to me this morning, of all the Scripture in the Bible, of all the phrases in the Bible, of all the terminologies in the Bible.
I was sitting at my desk and my Bible was open before me. And I was reading Ezekiel 34. And all of a sudden, laying on my Bible was a map of Israel. And I even looked down, because there are several maps on my desk. I even looked down to see if one of those maps had somehow fallen over on to my Bible when I was rearranging that messy desk I keep.
And sure enough it wasn’t. The maps were still over here, piled under some other junk. But I still saw it. I looked back and still, after searching to find these natural maps, there was still a map laying over the middle of my Bible. And I saw Israel. And as I stared into that map, I… It was as though I went through that map.
It was as though I walked, like Alice in Wonderland. Forgive me, Lord, for a carnal illustration. But it was like I went through that map and I was standing, hovering almost, evidently, over the land of Israel. But this time I no longer saw the little Dead Sea. And I never saw any more that Jordan River running down this way, flowing out of the Sea of Galilee, Genesereth at the top.
I didn’t see down toward the Red Sea, those blotches of water and the differences of the color of the land. But I saw the whole nation of Israel brown. Just brown. No water there at all. Just brown.
And I said, “Lord, what in the world does that mean?” And it was as though I had clicked on the computer. When you’re looking at a picture document, what’s that called? A PDF or something like that? When you’re looking at a picture document, there is in most of the software, there is a little magnifying glass you can click on. And it zooms in or zooms out. You are able to move in on the detail or move away from the detail.
It was as though the Holy Ghost had clicked on that zoom button in my vision. I never moved. I’m just sitting at my desk. I saw the picture, the map focus in, so that I could see what the brown was. The brown was perfect, even, beautifully plowed rows. The whole land of Israel was in beautiful rows that were plowed.
And the Word of the Lord said, “She’s ready. Don’t worry. Don’t worry.” Said, “She’s ready to receive the seed.” Hallelujah. Then I turned in my Bible and guess what I read? Break up the fallow ground, for it shall rain righteousness. Hallelujah.
I went and told my wife. I said, “The Lord just gave me a vision and the Scripture to go with it. ‘Break up the fallow ground.’” And I described those rows. And here was Jonathan and he said the very same thing. “Break up those fallow ground, that fallow ground, and get ready so that we can receive the Word of the Lord.”
That’s not only happening in our heart, but evidently it’s a sign that it’s happening in that land. What an appropriate time for God to give me a vision like that. Because right now the second, even the first or the second Seal. I’m not sure which. Right as you sit here this morning, even the first or the second Seal is being played on a little tape recorder. And that anointed Word of the Lord is going out of Jerusalem, hallelujah, to fall upon whatever ear it should fall upon, to get in whatever…
Jerusalem Is not a Pawn
November 24, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
All of Sister Ruth’s furniture, everything that’s in the house, the van, the car. They lease the building. If you’ll turn over the lease and even the name, we will settle the case. And she said, “They’re putting pressure on me to do that, to just release it and to walk away.” And she said, “I’ll tell you how I feel. I feel like Mount Zion Fellowship is your church in Jerusalem.”
She said, “I believe God has saved for you.” And she said, “I didn’t think that I should make such an important decision without your input.” And as she spoke those words, I saw a chess board in front of me with chess pieces. And the Holy Ghost said, “Jerusalem is not a pawn.”
And I said, “Sister Nancy, Jerusalem is not a pawn in the devil’s game. We can’t give Jerusalem to settle somebody else’s court case.” And I said, “I love Bill and I love Connie, but that’s their hot water. They’ll have to believe God to get out.” God gave them a Word when I was in Jerusalem. They’ll have to claim that. But we cannot release Jerusalem. This is a critical time, and we can’t walk away.”
She said, “Well they said we could go down the road and start again.” And I said, “We could do lots of things, but we don’t have to, because God’s performed a miracle. We could, but we don’t have to.” She said, “Oh praise the Lord. That’s all I needed to hear. It’s done.”
The Word Will Flow Out of Zion
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Spiritual Song, sung by Brother Shelley
From Zion, oh from Zion the Word will flow.
From Zion, oh from Zion the Word will go.
To the nations it will flow.
To the Bride will flow.
Out of Zion, out of Zion the Word will flow.
(Slip up your hand and believe God with me.)
Out of Zion, out of Zion the Word will flow.
To the nations of the world it will go.
This is the time, this is the day.
This is the hour, this is the way.
Out of Zion, out of Zion, the Word will flow.
Out of Zion, out of Zion, the Word will flow.
Out of Zion, out of Zion, the Word will flow.
To the nations of the world it will go.
This is the day, this is the hour.
It will come in Truth, it will come in power.
Out of Zion, out of Zion, the Word will flow.
Lives Cut Short
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just had a vision. I saw, Brother Greeley, just then before my eyes that entranceway into the children’s memorial at Yad Vashin. I saw the entranceway of it. If you were standing there, you wouldn’t even know that is was a museum because it’s disguised into the landscape.
But above it. I’ve shown some of you the picture. Up above it there are two things. Art that is symbolic. We said, didn’t we say one-point-five million children? It was one point-five. Wasn’t it? One point five million children died in the holocaust. And they built this beautiful memorial, some New York Jews. A man and his wife. They live in New York now. They were holocaust survivors.
They lost their little four-year-old son. Three or four-year old son in the holocaust, and they built this memorial to honor him. And when you go in, there are some pillars, stone pillars up on top that are broken off. The tops are broken off of them. And then closer to you is re-bar sticking up out of the ground. And it is a symbol, the guide told us. It’s a symbol. The re-bar is a symbol of a foundation that was laid, but nothing was ever built on it.
And those pillars broken off were, is a symbol of lives that were cut short, that never got to be what they were destined to be. And as I was preaching along that line, coming down, I could see that in the Spirit. I could see those re-bars sticking up out of the ground. It wasn’t in my mind. I could see those pillars broken off.
Lives cut short. Foundations laid, but nothing built upon. It would be something to provoke us to prayer and to thought. Maybe God… Maybe God allowed that to be spoken only for the prayer warriors, so you’d pray and intercede. Perhaps it was a little warning to somebody who thinks you’ve got it all under control.
I Will Move According to Your Petitions
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night. I see the petitions that you have laid before Me. Not only tonight, but I’ve seen the petitions that you’ve laid before Me in the last few weeks. I’ve seen the cry of your heart. I’ve heard it loudly in My ear, saith the Lord. And I will move.
No man can stop My hand. I will move, saith the Lord, for you. I will move for you. You’ve watched me move for others. But I say unto thee this night, I will move for you. Trust Me and believe Me. For I will move according to your petitions, saith the Lord.
The Bride Has Spoken the Word
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’m seeing a bigger picture now. I’m seeing that as the former rain is falling on the Jews, that latter rain falling on the Gentile Bride. And yet I see a gushing forth from Zion, like water from the rock. I see water flowing from the rock. The Lord is saying in my spirit, the rock is not smitten again, but the Bride has spoken the Word and the water has flowed.
The Bride has spoken the Word, and the water will flow. When the Bride speaks the Word, the water will flow. It will give life, it will give hope, it will give peace, it will give joy. When the Bride speaks the Word, the water will flow.
Oh the Rock, the Rock must never be smitten again. Jesus, the Rock, He is the Rock, must never be smitten again. When the Bride speaks the Word, then the water will flow. For the Rock, it must never be smitten again. Why should you cry, the Lord said speak. Why should we cry, the Lord said speak, When the Bride speaks the Word, the water will flow.
Closing of the Breach
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just saw a little vision. And I saw pockets with holes in them. I could see the money, the change, the gold falling out of pockets with holes in them. Anybody been there? We decree right now. We speak to broken pockets. We speak to pockets with holes in them that don’t seem to be able to hold on to the money. Lord, we decree the… (Tongues).
We declare the closing of the breach. We declare the mending of the gap. We declare it now. Lord, let the finances began to flow. Let every brother in this church get the calls. Let this be a week, let it be a time, let it be a season of phone calls. Lord, we speak to the phone calls. We decree phone calls. We decree phone calls to come with opportunities, with open doors, with opportunities for blessing. In the Name of Jesus.
Obstacles Being Moved out of the Way
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw obstacles being moved out of the way. I saw bulldozers. (Tongues). As I spoke that, I saw not one, but like a fleet of bulldozers pushing debris and garbage, hindrances out of our way. Hallelujah.
I feel like prophesying that a way is being made tonight. Lord, I declare that a way is being made for every situation that pertains to these people. Every situation, every circumstance. Lord, I decree that a way is being made tonight by the Holy Ghost.
The Glory of the Word Flowing Forth out of Zion
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I could see that water flowing from the rock out of Zion to the nations of the world. Hallelujah. The last reaching of the Bride, the truth of God’s Word, hallelujah, is returning to Zion. The prophet of God has prophesied that it would happen and it has happened.
He said when the Word goes all the way around the world and returns to Israel, then God is going to be finished with the Gentiles. That finishing is approaching. The fullness of the Gentiles is coming. God’s going to let the glory of His Word flow out of Zion to the rest of the Gentile Bride in the nations of the world.
Heavy Hands
December 1, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I see in vision, heavy hands. Hands that are hanging heavy. Weighted hands. We decree the liberty, the release to those hands that are heavy. Hands that have once been bound to praise the Lord, to be loosed now. We decree the loosing of the hands. We decree the liberty to the hands that have been heavy that they might be lifted.
We decree freedom to the feet that they might run, that they might jump, that they might dance and praise the Lord. We speak liberty to the tied tongues of our loved ones who can’t tell of the goodness of the Lord.
To those who are afraid to speak of the truth, testify, we speak liberty to their tongues in the Name of Yeshua. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord, give our loved ones liberty. We decree revival for our young people that will not just be a car wash. But we decree a deep fire. Fire. Send forth Your fire God.
My Blood Covers You
December 8, 2002 (Sunday Morning)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this morning, it is My desire to anoint your eyes with My eye salve, saith the Lord. That you might be able to receive a fresh revelation of My blood. For yea I would say unto thee, it is not the chemistry nor the chemicals of that blood, but it is the life that was in My blood. Yea, that same life is in My blood today. My blood is available for thee.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, My blood is not just available for the sinner who wants to be redeemed, but My blood is available, and the life that is therein, for My Bride. Yea, the Lord would desire to open your eyes this day that you would be reminded in a most supernatural way, that My blood covers you, saith the Lord. When you stand in My Presence, you can stand there because of My blood. My blood has covered you, and cleansed you and redeemed you and made you Mine.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, in all the cares and troubles of life, in all the problems and trials that you now know, the Lord would say unto thee, be careful, My children, that you don’t forget the newness and the freshness and the realness of My blood. It is still for you. It still avails to wash away sin. It still avails to heal you, saith the Lord, to deliver you from every one of your oppressions. So this day, as you worship Me, open your eyes that you might have, that you might see a fresh revelation of My purchase price for you, My blood. Saith the Lord. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
We Are Your Bride

Spiritual Song, Sung by Brother Shelley
We glorify, we magnify Your Name.
We glorify, we magnify, we glorify Thy Name.
We glorify, we magnify, we glorify Your Name.
We glorify, we magnify, we glorify Your Name.
Repeat.
You are, you are the Bridegroom,
We are, we are Your Bride.

Let me hear you sing to the Lord.

Repeat.
Everybody sing out one time with me, will you?
You are beautiful, Yeshua.
Your mantle is falling, Your mantle is falling,
Your mantle is falling, is falling on Your Bride.
Your mantle, (I saw it) Your mantle is falling on Your Bride.
Your mantle is falling, is falling on Your Bride.
We glorify, we magnify, we glorify Your Name…
Oh hallelujah, we glorify Your Name…
I want to be Your Wife,
I long to be Your Wife.
We’re moving now from Bride to Wife,
I long to be Your Wife.
I long to be Your Wife…
Oh we love You, Lord. Hallelujah.
Come and let’s gather around the altar, if you feel like you want to come and worship the Lord.
I long to be Your Wife…
We are moving now from Bride to Wife…
The mantle is falling…
The mantle is falling from the Bridegroom to His Wife.
The mantle is falling…
We love You, Yeshua…
Come out of her, My people,
The trumpet now sounds out.
Come out of her, My people,
And leave behind your doubt.
Come out, come out of Babylon,
The Bride must now step forth.
Come out, come out of Babylon,
The shout is going out. (Tongues)
Come out, come out of Babylon…
The Wife is stepping forth.
Come out of her, My people,
Come out of her, come out.
Hallelujah. I was seeing in the Spirit the Bridegroom standing at the altar, waiting on the Bride. I could see the Bridegroom standing at the altar, waiting on His Little Bride to come down the aisle. I could hear the Spirit saying, “Come out of her. Come out of her, My people. Come out of her. Come out of Babylon. It’s time for the Bride to step out.”
Come out of her, My people, come out of Babylon.
You shall know My ways, My people,
You shall walk in all I say.
It’s time, it’s time to know Me,
it’s time to give your life.
It’s time, it’s time, My people,
It’s time to be My Wife.
We praise You, we glorify You, Lord. Hallelujah.
(Tongues)
Oh, let’s worship the Lord a moment. Maybe you’re not used to worshiping God this way. Let’s do it anyway. Let’s break out of our mold and love the Lord.
Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua my Beloved.
I worship You, I adore You, Yeshua my Beloved.
My Bridegroom, Yeshua,
My Bridegroom, my Bridegroom.
My Bridegroom, Yeshua.
My Bridegroom, My Bride.
Your righteousness, Your righteousness,
Fill us with Your righteousness. Until we shine like You.
Your righteousness, Your righteousness. (Tongues)
Oh, fill us with Your righteousness, until we shine like You.
An Answer to Prayer
December 10, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
Everything that you were saying, it kept going through me. Is this not an answer to prayer? When you went the first time and came back, you wanted some place over there to have your name, perhaps a ministry. An answer to prayer.
We Are Spiritual Mount Zion
December 10, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Judith Schapals
There’s a scripture that keeps coming to my remembrance with Israel heavily upon our hearts. And the declarations that have been made in this church a couple of weeks ago. The Scripture keeps coming to my remembrance and I want to declare this scripture on Israel. And to Israel and also to this church, to us, because we are spiritual Mount Zion. And our loved ones.
And that scripture is found in Joel, chapter 2. And it says, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered. For Mount Zion and Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said. And to the remnant ye shall call.” Hallelujah. Let’s praise the Lord. Glory… You take it, Lord Jesus.
Falling into Place
December 10, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Carmen Lanier
This word just keeps coming into my spirit, “Things are going to fall into place. As it turns, you won’t have to look for what’s going to happen, but it’s going to fall into place. Just like this place has been provided for you all to stay, vehicles to drive in, it’s just the beginning of what God is going to put in place for what has to come.”
Purposes of God Set in Motion
December 10, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
I keep seeing a vision of, like the wheels turning. But what I’m seeing are the parts of a clock, or what’s below the face of a watch. And the Lord keeps speaking to my spirit and says, “One wheel causes another one to turn.” That’s what you were saying. “But when the purposes of God are set in motion, all things will begin to fall into place.”
But I just see things being provided, and it’s behind the scenes of that clock, the face of the watch. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Little gears turning. Hallelujah. Little teeth, fitting in the right place, the grooves. They have to fit in the right places to make the wheels turn. Hallelujah. Thank You, Jesus.
Move of God Working in Unison
December 10, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Greeley
When Brother Jonathan was leading in that chorus, “I feel the wheel within the wheel,” I could see, as it were, in my spirit the wheels of a locomotive. I saw three separate wheels moving in unison that far, that connects the three of them. You’ve seen the locomotive. And it just ministered to me when Sister Carmen spoke about the clock that’s moving in unison.
The locomotive is a very large thing, and this is a large move of God that God is sending forth. And it has to move in unison. And there are different parts, but they all have to work together to make this thing move. And God’s move is going to move forward. We just don’t want to work against it.
Fear Not, You Are in the Palm of My Hand
December 22, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
Yes, I am the God that healeth thee. And I see your praise, and you are blessed with your own praise. Yes, I see the ups and the downs, and the nearness of My time. It’s close. And I know you feel that in your hearts and in your souls. But I am here, I am still here. You are Mine, you are Mine. I have you in the palm of My hand. Fear not! Fear not for thy needs. Fear not, because I am the One you trust. Trust in Me, My children. Trust in Me. I love you. I love you. I love you. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Hold Fast & I Will Do It
December 22, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Annie Jones
The prophecy what came forth this morning, what I’m to do, going to do in Jerusalem, I will do it. This is only the beginning what you see, My children. This is only the beginning. For what I’m going to do next year, you will hear it.
Keep praying. Keep fasting. Keep loving one another. Hold fast for what I’ve given you. And I will do it. That’s what the Lord said this morning. Acts 1:8, I will do it, has already come to pass. But I will do more, saith the Lord. I will do more, abundantly more. Just hold fast to what I give you now. You will see it. (Tongues)
Build a Tabernacle of Praise
December 22, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Jan Salvador
Be not afraid. Do not fear to build a Tabernacle of Praise within you.
Convulsing in Birth Pains
December 29, 2002 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Carmen Lanier
I love the Lord and want to thank Him for what He is doing, for the Spirit of the Lord and how He is moving. And I was just, even since last Sunday night the things that I have seen in the Spirit. And I just keep getting glimpses. And I know I’m seeing glimpses of things that have been spoken of that would take place in this house.
But this morning when Brother Shelley was preaching, I saw that River rushing again. But this time I saw the banks of the River crumbling and people falling into it. And I remember that was a vision that Brother Shelley had had. But there are three words. And every time I hear one of these words, it is like what is happening on the inside. But when Brother Shelley said that word “resounding,” there is something that’s getting so close, we can feel the resounding.
And that Word about Chad about the vibration that was coming before, when Chad was saying the other night, it was like, “I feel those vibrations.” And when Sister Anita was singing that song about the rumbling, it’s like I feel something moving in our, a melting, convulsing in birth pains. But I thank the Lord that He is so close to fulfilling His Word in this midst of this people.
This Is of the Bridegroom
December 31, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
Those last few minutes. Those last few minutes that she was there worshiping the Lord, I kept hearing in the Spirit, this is of the Bridegroom. This is of the Bridegroom. This is of the Bridegroom. And that’s why I wanted to tell you that nothing has been happening…
Maybe you don’t know what’s been happening. But nothing has been happening by chance. It’s all been so symbolic and so prophetic.
Sealing of the Bride
December 31, 2002 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision & Prophecy given through Brother Jonathan Hollis
I know this may be strange to some people. But as I’m standing here, I could just see that capstone flying over, flying through the air. Coming to rest on top of the pyramid. Grace, grace, grace. Hallelujah.
Oh despise not the day of small things. Oh, for this is my hour, saith the Lord. This is the time that I have chosen to be with My people, My Bride. Oh it’s the time that I have chosen and yea, the sealing of My Bride, it is very soon, saith the Lord.
Yea, even now. Yea, even now, the inkhorn rider has gone out, saith the Lord, searching those who are mine. Yea, searching those who are sighing and crying for the abominations that are done in the land.
And yea, I say, it is very late. The hour is late. And it’s dark, saith the Lord. It’s dark in many streets across the nation, saith the Lord, but in the hour of darkness is when I go forth and I seal those who are mine.
Yea, I’m sealing those who are Mine, saith God. Oh reach up and reach up and know that this is My hour. This is My time. And you shall receive, saith the Lord, if you will sigh and you will cry.
Yea, those who I predestinated, those who I’ve elected for this hour, you will receive the sealing saith the Lord. Press on. Press on. Press on with all you’ve got. Don’t give up now, saith the Lord.
Don’t give up now. But run, run, run, run, run for I will give your feet acceleration. Yea, I shall give your feet speed, saith the Lord and you will run, run, run, saith the Most High God.
