(A Word received from the Lord on Wednesday
night, March 1,
1967)
"Hearken, for the voice of your God
[speaks] to you a message—a
message of comfort and encouragement to those whose
hearts are open to me, and a message of warning to
those who are careless and at ease in Zion. For I
speak to my own this night, and not to
the world. The world slumbers on, and this is to be
expected. They of the world shall not be awakened
except by the thunder-like peals of clashing arms
and the exploding bombs; but to my own I
speak, that those who are asleep might be awakened,
and those who are awake might prepare their hearts
for that which is shortly coming. For I say
to you my people, I am about to move by my
Spirit to do a work among my people that they might
be prepared to receive a mighty outpouring which is
coming. For even this spring, of the year 1967, I
will begin a new and fresh move among my people, to
bring about a further development in that spiritual
Body which I am raising
up.
Hearken, yes hearken, my people, for this is
a sacred hour in which you live. This is a time when
my people should seek me as never before. For I
move, yes I move by my Spirit to work a mighty
deliverance among my people; for is it not written
that the anointing breaks the yoke? (Isaiah 10:27).
I will especially anoint certain vessels of my
choosing that they may be used to bring
deliverance to my people. Especially
keen shall be the spirit of discernment, for my
people have come under many deceptions and
oppressions of the enemy, and there is need of a
great cleansing and liberating work among my people.
Therefore give yourself to me quickly and
unreservedly, that you may be used to help
cleanse the Body of Christ from all the defilements
of the flesh and of the spirit (II Cor. 7:1). For I
shall send a great refreshing, even in this spring
time of the year, that my people may enter
afresh into the quickening and resurrection power of
my Spirit. Even now, as you read these words, am I
moving to do a peculiar work among my people. Will
you not this very moment open your heart to
receive this quickening, and will you not
even now receive afresh from your God the
resurrection life of the Son of
God.
My people, the hour is late, for even now do
the thunder clouds of tribulation hang heavy
over the earth. Arising out of the east is a plague,
yes a dread scourge, which shall bring great havoc
in the earth. And from the south there are rumblings
of discontent. For verily I say to you, a
mighty earthquake is now in the making in the
nations south of your border—an earthquake
which shall completely disrupt the social, political
and religious fabric of the nations in the south.
And yet my people seem to want to slumber on. Must I
awaken you with thunder peals and mighty
earthquakes? Must I treat you like I treat the
world? Can I not expect more of my people than
slumber and ease at this time in human history?
Surely the time is at hand for a greater number, of
my people to awaken to that which I am doing in the
earth.
Is it not written that the Kingdom
comes not with observation? (Luke
17:20). Must I show you mighty things in the earth
that you can observe before you awaken? Can I not
expect you to be discerning enough to behold that
which is seen not by the world, but comes only to
those who are open and yielded to the moving of my
Spirit? Hearken, yes I say hearken my people, not to
hear the thunder-peals and the earthquake rumblings
of east and south, but to hear the still small voice
of my Spirit speaking to you in this hour. For yet a
little while that which is of the east and the south
shall be stayed. But now is the time for my people
to move afresh into the anointing of my Spirit, and
I will cause them to speak forth my Word as never
before.
Again I would have my people consider that
which I am doing; for it is my strange work (lsa.
28:21), even a work that so few understand. Did I
not send Elijah into the depths of the desert to
wait on His God. Did I not cause my hand to
overshadow him and lead him to Horeb, the
mountain of God? (I Kings 19:8). Was it not the same
mountain that Moses was led to as he brought my
people out of the bondage of Egypt? And am I not
preparing to bring a people out of the enemy in this
hour? I say, consider that which was beheld by
Elijah as he waited at the mountain of God. (I Kings
19:11-12). Did he not see the result of a mighty
wind which rent the mountain and caused the heavens
to grow black with ominous peals of thunder? Have I
not spoken in my Word of the east wind, even that
which so often brought with it storm and plague?
(Ex. 10:13, Ps. 48:7, Jer. 18:18, Ezek. 19:12). Even
so does the wind which Elijah beheld represent that
scourge which is arising out of the east. And did
not Elijah also behold the rumbling of a mighty
earthquake? Have I not spoken in my Word about the
mighty earthquakes which are coming? (Isa. 29:6, Lk.
21:11, Rev. 6:12, 11:13, etc.). And have I not just
called your attention to the rumblings which
are now beginning in the nations of the
south?
Now consider, says the Lord, there was
yet one more thing which Elijah observed, and that
was fire. What is the fire says the Lord?
Have you not beheld in your day
the unleashing of the atom and the mighty
fire-power which it spews forth? This is the fire
which Elijah saw, and even as it encompassed the
mountain, so shall the fire-power of the atom's
unleashed fury encompass this earth. (Isa. 29:6,
30:30, Joel 2:30, Rev. 13:13, 16:8-9). And even as I
have spoken of the wind and storm clouds from the
east, and the rumblings of the earthquake from the
south, even so do I warn of the coming destructive
fire from the north.
Now I have spoken to you of that which
can be observed; but again, is it not written
that the Kingdom comes not with observation?
Then hear my word! After the wind, the earthquake
and the fire, Elijah heard a still small voice, even
the voice of his God. (I Kings 19:12). It was a
picture of the Kingdom coming, but not with
observation. Only those who are attuned to my
Spirit, and are open to hear my still small voice,
will be able to see that Kingdom which is even now
within you and encompassing you on
every hand.
Now I would speak to you of one more
thing. I have already spoken to you of that
which comes from the east and the south and the
north. Shall I not also speak to you of that
which comes from the west? Did I not dwell by means
of the Shekinah Glory within the cubicle of the Holy
of Holies in the westernmost part of the Tabernacle?
Now behold, says your God, the
pattern that is laid down in my Word. When Aaron and
his sons were consecrated to serve me in the
priestly office, I did cause them to wait before me
at the door of the Tabernacle for seven days (Lev.
8:33). Then on the eighth day (Lev. 9:1), certain
sacrifices were placed on the altar in the outer
court near the eastern gate. Then, when all was in
readiness, fire came out of my presence from
the Holy of Holies and consumed the sacrifices
on the altar (Lev. 9:24). Notice, says
your God, the fire came from the west in the
Holy of Holies to the altar in the east. Now
hear my word! I will move by my Spirit in a way that
the world has never yet seen. This is the fire which
came out of the Holy of Holies. Not a fire of
destruction but a fire of my Spirit, to fall
on all those who have placed themselves
on the altar as a living sacrifice. And as
the fire came out of the west, so shall I move by my
Spirit from the west coast of this nation until the
fire of my anointing has encompassed the entire
land. I say, this fire of my Spirit shall fall
on my people before the fire of the atom's
unleashed fury falls on the land. For I am
ready to do a work that you could not fully
believe if I were to tell
you.
Now behold, says your God, the
mighty prophet at Horeb. Will you be
to me in this day a prophetic voice of
authority in the land? Then wait before me until you
know my still small voice, and move only at the
directive of my Spirit. Count as nothing the
abominations of this world and separate
yourself to me. I am waiting, my
people, even now. Will you not
hear?”
(end of
prophecy.)
