THE GREATEST MESSAGES
ARE NOT PLANNED
I am a called evangelist and sometimes
God gives me a message and sometimes I hear nothing at all from him and
rely in total for the message when I get to the pulpit. Many keep
preaching the same old scripted messages in the pulpit because they cannot
hear from God. The greatest messages that I have every delivered in a
pulpit is when I didn’t know what I was going to do. I rely in a heavy
manner on the word of God even when I don’t have a message.
Preaching without a message sometimes
comes into the realm of the supernatural and allows God to say what he
wants to say. You could be in the middle of a sermon and begin to say
things that you knew wasn’t in your plan of thought or in anything you
planned. That is the prophetic realm of move of God -- it was captured by
the intercessor long before you got up to speak. Some messages comes forth
when the worship leader has went before the face of God and has stirred a
hole in heaven for the message to come through.
THE KEY INGREDIENT
Make no mistake about it, I have
traveled from church to church and preached in all kinds of pulpits. From
Nixa Missouri to Porterville, California -- there is an ingredient in each
of these churches that releases the glory of God.
What’s more important intercession or
worship? One can carry the other when one is missing. To me and my way of
thinking as a prophetic-evangelist -- the most important ingredient of the
two is worship. You see before I go into a pulpit I pray, I have always
known that God won’t use anything in a pulpit but a praying man. It is
absolutely stupid for me to preach anywhere unless I have touched the face
of God over several days. I know God hears me because I have been there
before Him so many times. The more you pray the more He knows who you are.
THE BALANCE OF WORSHIP
AND PRAYER
In an Indiana church there is a picture
and a prophetic word given over this picture of an eagle in the church.
The word to that church was that when the words of prophetic intercessor
becomes level with worship, then revival will come. Notice it had a
balance to it -- they know what the ingredients are, they just need the
evangelist to come and do his job. The office of that man is very
important -- only one other person comes before the evangelist and that is
the prophet. When the prophet speaks then the work begins. Many pastor go
by their feels about revival but revival comes with the impression of God
on the pastors heart. When you are ready for it then you will really know
that it is time for God.
BETHEL TEMPLE AN
AWESOME PRESNECE
What about what I have seen over the
country -- who and where are the places you were touched the deepest. I
believe that greatest touch that I have ever received in a church covering
revival was at Bethel Temple in Hampton, Virginia. They had two worship
leaders out front, there prayers teams were well trained and well watched
so that the counterfeit didn’t show up in their ranks. God moved in a
deep way through these two worship leaders. It during the greatest times
of worship that I would see on of them come forth with a word of
knowledge, it could have been about healing and a specific disease. Many
of the people that would come forth at that time would experience instant
healing. The worship has stirred the Holy Spirit so deep that the glory
would began to be imparted. When the presence of Jesus showed up people
would begin to receive. In that group of intercessors in Hampton I was
prayed for -- the glory that was on these people is hard to explain. I
could feel a divine presence -- I can also tell you that I have not found
that to be true in every area of revival and renewal.
HIS PRESENCE IS NEEDED
This revival is about his presence and
how to capture that presence within the church. This year early at
Brownsville we had an experience like that. Many who were there will never
forget it. It was on a Saturday night and the prophet was supposed to come
in. Cindy Jacobs was very late and didn’t show up in the sanctuary until
close to 10 PM. What was going on as we waited was very close to heaven
itself. It was a night of celebration as Lindell Cooley led the congregation
into the greatest worship that the church had ever seen. We saw the unusual
as we heard the new dimension of worship Lindell had moved into. Lindell
was dancing before the Lord and the glory was coming down so hard that the
released of the angels through the sanctuary was building a new dimension
for the Son of God to speak on. It was at it’s highest peak that the
prophet walked in. As Jacobs moved through the crowd and she spoke of the
supernatural another mantle of God’s glory began to come on the people.
The Holy Ghost presence of the Son of God had broke through in a new dimension.
It was not the evangelist, nor the pastor but it was the prophet and the
worship leader. Jacob is in the office of a prophet but she has a
foundation of intercession that runs through her that takes people to now
word of God for the individual and the corporate body.
The evangelist will tell you that if you come to a house
with poor worship you will struggle to preach. They know without the entry
way of God before you speak , it becomes very hard to minister. That’s
how it is in heaven praise and worship. How do you know when to praise and
when to worship. It’s very simple -- if all you do is praise God -- then
you will not go very far. When you move ever so slowly in to worship then
you will move into the realm of the presence of God. Let me say to every
worship leader that your private time before God will be the success of
the whole meeting. A worship leader that doesn’t stay before God before
he picks his instrument up is a worship leader that is just using His
talent but the evangelist, pastor and mostly the people know when this man
hasn’t been before God. God sees all and He is sick of talent -- believe
me baby, He’s looking for the goods before he comes down. God is a
Spirit and they that worship him worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Remember the Spirit always comes first. If a worship leader is leaning on
his talent he is only operating in the truth that he knows, but when the
Spirit comes before the truth then there is true revelation from the
Father’s heart. When the revelation is broken open before the people of
God there is salvation, healing and signs and wonders. I believe as Jesus
comes closer to his return the one thing that will mark his presence is
the worship of the earth. It will come down so hard in one place that the
mystery of God will show up and begin to saturate a place with so much holiness
that the appearance of angels will be seen in the worship. This was
written to answer many of the people who have asked about my experiences
of seeing God move in churches that I have traveled to in my visitation of
revival places. I’ve never seen two that were alike -- I have never seen
a place where we could no learn from the others. From now and again as I
travel I will relate these types of things so you can know.
POWERFUL HEALINGS IN
CALIFORNIA
MOBILE, AL -- Looking back at my last ten
days in California I can see a move of God forming on the West Coast, it
concerns the healing power of God. There is a revival of healing in
that area. While I ministered the power of God flowed and we saw
many miracles. One miracle happened at Landmark Christian
Center. A women who was unable to keep anything on her stomach after
cancer treatment was instantly healed after prayer. She said that
the bile would enter her throat and she could not eat but just a little at
a time. After we prayed for her on that Sunday night -- she was
completely set free and had the ability to eat a large meal. At
Bethel in Redding the students there are going into the public praying for
people. Wheelchairs, braces and all manner of disease is being dealt
with. In Galt, California, Pastor David Ross is experiencing a great
moving of the Holy Spirit. Every service is different.
Prophecy, salvation and divine healing are at his church. There has
been a visitation there in the Holy Ghost for the last year. Pastor
David Ross has experienced a tremendous healing from Leukemia. Ross
had an incurable form of Leukemia as been declared healed by
his doctors.

The Beauty of California
I can't say enough about the beauty of
California. On the last day we were there the 59 degree temperature
and the cool winds of the Pacific Ocean touched my heart. People
really do leave their hearts in San Francisco. Among all the
problems this state faces the beauty of 
God's
creation there is hard to put in words. From the mountains to the
Pacific the awesomeness of these things can barely be taken in. In
the early part of the trip on Saturday morning I drove through a mountain
pass through a dry hot valley, as I came through the pass I saw a
beautiful blue haze hanging over a majestic ocean. I drove to the
Ventura Beaches, it was there on the rocks that I read my word and
experienced the blowing cool wind in my face. I watched the people
as they played with their dogs in the surf and I saw pilot whales in the
surf thinking they were dolphins. Afterward I drove to 4,000 feet to
witness the beauty of the Los Padres National Forest, at the peak I drove
down into the valley of that valley to witness all manner of fruit being
grown there in 100 degree temperature. California you stole my
heart. God is moving in this state and revival stands on the
edge. The second dimension of revival is about to being and that is
divine healing.
Off To See A House Of
Prayer
July 9. 2001
REDDING, CA -- Leaving Galt on Saturday I started my trip to Redding,
California to visit Pastor Bill Johnson's Church, Bethel Assembly of God.
On my way I visited some old friends in Orangevale. Ed and Judy
Anderson, who were very warm to me as we sat at their table and spoke
about revival. Ed Anderson serves as an elder at Family Christian
Center in Orangevale, CA. I arrived at Redding at 12:30 AM and
immediately went to bed.
My House Shall Be Called
A House of Prayer
Pastor
Bill Johnson met me in his office at 9 AM and took me over to the new
prayer center. It's called the Alabaster Box. Going along cobbled
stones and seeing the beautiful water that surrounds and runs through the
center of the structure, you could feel the presence of God.
Entering into the inner room of the prayer at the center is a globe
made out of etched granite that flowed with water running over the top of
it. The water flowed from the center of the building and to the pool
of Bethesda that was outside in front of the building. There were
people praying when we got there. As you walk upon the ground you
can feel and since the power of God all over the place. As you enter
the main room of the Prayer Center at Bethel the anointing quickens and
you can sense and feel the power blend of intercession with the main
building. Going back to the church from the center, you feel as if
you are taking something with you. Wow want a powerful place to be.
Even Pastor Johnson felt the anointing as we walked away.
This is the beautiful water fall that flows out of the
pool in front of the prayer house at Bethel Church in Redding, California.

The service that day was built around
Kingdom Living as once again Pastor Bill Johnson challenged his
congregation of more than 1,200 to walk in a committed fashion. The
powerful service at Bethel and the direct teaching of Kingdom living is
the future church. Johnson mentioned said that a church of signs and
wonders is a church that understands their destiny in the Kingdom.
He mentioned the Lord's Prayer and stated that the basic principle of that
prayer is to bring Heaven down to earth. The vision of Redding is growing,
the foundations of the Kingdom can be found on the side of a mountain
there. .
GOD CHASER AT
BROWNSVILLE
PENSACOLA, FL -- Last night the God Chaser
was back in the Brownsville pulpit. Tenney has become a welcomed
guest in the Brownsville pulpit, even though the Assemblies of God have
banned his books in recent days. It just seems like this man of God
has the message for our times. (Photo by Cathy Wood)
GALT, CA -- Editor Jerrell Miller has
been in California for the last week. Last night at New Hope
Assembly of God the power of God moved in a dramatic fashion. New
Hope pastored by David Ross has become a place of visitation for the Holy
Ghost. Speaking in the prophetic the Editor spoke of the coming move
of God in California. In a radical statement the publisher said
three major areas on the West Coast would be touched by great revival, and
the wind of the power of the Holy Ghost that had blown from the East to
the West will now begin to blow from the West to the East.
GALT IS A PLACE OF
VISITATION
Pastor David Ross had just returned
from the mountains where he has been fasting and praying for the last ten
days. On Tuesday when Editor Miller arrived on Hwy 99 he pulled on
to the main street and began to weep. "It was an usual experience,
it's almost as if God has his hand on you and knows what you are going to
do next. This is more than just a personal visitation in this town.
God is doing something on a large scale in Galt, California."
The city of Galt is very close to the San Andreas fault, and last year
Pastor Ross has been in a personal battle with Leukemia. His last
visit to the doctor revealed no evidence of incurable chronic
Leukemia.
Intercessory Prayer
Leads The Way
Something is happening here, the evidence
of healings and visitation is drawing people to come and see.
Porterville and Galt, California are a result of great intercessory
prayer. Once again God is breaking ground in a new area.
Tomorrow Editor Jerrell Miller will be at Vacaville, California
where Pastor Dave Chrone has been active in revival for the last few
years. The editor will minister in Galt on Sunday and will be at the
Dream Center in San Francisco. Form more information about the move
of God in Galt you can e-mail the church at actsone8@viafamily.com.
In Porterville we saw people healed and a
blanket anointing in the house. At Galt last night a cloud could be
seen in the service and the prophetic word came forth. People are
receiving right now and the atmosphere is pregnant with the glory of God.
