PREFACE SUMMARY
I clearly remember the overwhelming response I received from my radio programs when I talked about the forthcoming end-time revival. Despite many ministers advising me to read more of the Bible and find the scriptures that say, "Before the coming of the Lord, there will be a great falling away," I remain steadfast in my belief that there will be an end-time revival before the coming of our Lord.
As I was growing up, I belonged to an organization that believed that the miracles and gifts in the church had ceased with the Apostles. However, at that time, I was not aware of the various ministries of great men that God had used for miraculous healing. I was also oblivious to the 1906 revival at Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California, which sparked a worldwide Pentecostal movement. In retrospect,
I realize that my understanding of the supernatural aspects of Christianity was quite limited. But with time, God taught me the scriptures and led me to the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which resulted in my Evangelical Methodist organization withdrawing my license and expelling me from their church organization.
My conviction is rooted in (Revelation 19:7), which clearly states that the Lord is coming after a church that has made itself ready. This implies that something significant, such as severe persecution, may have occurred, which prompted the church to awaken to the signs of the times and to prepare sincerely to meet her Lord.
My conviction is also rooted in (Joel 2:28-29) where the profits speaks about a time soon on God's calendar where he will pour out his spirit upon all flesh. He goes on to speak about how this outpouring will be a spiritual awakening that will cause our sons and daughters to prophesy with our young men seeing visions and our old men being visited with dreams.
Beloved, some years back I found listed in the chronology of Adam the names as follows: (1) Adam (2) Cainan (3) Mahalaleel (4) Enoch (5) Methuselah (6) Lamech (7) Noah
Biblical Meaning: (Adam) = Mortal Man (Cainan) = Bearing Sorrows (Mahalaleel) = The Blessed God (Enoch) = The teacher - Came Down from Heaven Teaching (Methuselah) = His Death Brings (Lamech) = Despairing (Noah) = Rest
Notice how Methuselah the 5th from Adam was given a name which foretells the coming flood and the destruction of everything living upon the earth. The name means after his death, the judgement or deluge which means the flood will come, He lived to be 969 years of age and died during the days of the flood.
Just like the death of Methuselah was a warning to the generations back then, I believe that the end-time revival will be a time of great spiritual awakening and renewal, where people worldwide will turn to God and seek His face.
This revival will be preceded by great darkness, where the world will experience unprecedented chaos, wars, and disasters. However, I am convinced that God will use these events to draw people closer to Himself and prepare them for His Son's coming.
Despite the opposition and skepticism I have encountered, I am confident that God will use me to spread His message of hope and salvation to the world. I am committed to sharing the truth of God's word with as many people as possible and encouraging them to prepare themselves for the end-time revival. I believe this revival will be a time of great joy and celebration as we witness the power and glory of God in action.
To understand this better, we need to look at the purification baths the church underwent when she received news that her bridegroom had left his father's house to come and get her. These baths symbolized the spiritual cleansing that the church had to undergo to become pure and holy so that she would be ready to meet her Lord.
The church had to undergo this purification process because she had to be blameless, without spot or wrinkle, and holy in the sight of God. This purification process was not just a one-time event but a continuous process that the church had to go through until the day of the Lord's return.
Therefore, I believe that the end-time revival will be characterized by a purified church that has made herself ready to meet her Lord. This church will be blameless, without spot or wrinkle, and holy in the sight of God. The church will be a shining light in a dark world, a beacon of hope to those who are lost and in need of salvation.
This revival is expected to be marked by a renewed emphasis on prayer, worship, and devotion to God and a renewed commitment to living a life of holiness and righteousness.
"SIGNS, MIRACLES AND WONDERS."
"Signs, Miracles, and Wonders" refers to the incredible and inexplicable events that occur in our world, often defying scientific explanations. These events are usually attributed to divine intervention or God’s Spirit interacting with our human spirit. The term encompasses many occurrences, from miraculous healings to extraordinary rescues to the appearance of apparitions such as Angels or other religious figures.
While skeptics may attribute these events to coincidence or other natural explanations, for many, they represent a profound and unshakable belief in the power of the divine and the potential of the human spirit.
Throughout history, several great men have been used by God to proclaim his message. Smith Wigglesworth, William Seymour, Lester Sumrall, and others were among them.
These men have shared a common belief that a time is coming when God will move powerfully visit his people with signs, miracles, and wonders that will surpass anything we have ever seen.
The teachings of these great men of God give us hope that a time of great spiritual awakening is coming. As we wait for this move of God, let us prepare ourselves by seeking God diligently and obeying his commands. This era of spiritual outpouring is believed to bring about a renewal and transformation in the lives of many individuals.
This end-time move of God is expected to be a time of great spiritual awakening when people will turn to God in droves. God's miraculous works will be so evident that even skeptics will not be able to deny them.
During this time, people are thought to turn to God and experience His love and power more profoundly. This spiritual revival is expected to be characterized by a widespread movement of people seeking to connect with God on a deeper level and to live their lives by His teachings.
The Coming End-Time Revival is believed to be a time of great hope and promise for humanity. It is predicted to be a time of increased spiritual awareness, where people can look forward to a brighter future and a deeper connection with God.
Beloved, this time of spiritual awakening will be characterized by a renewed sense of purpose and direction as people become more aware of their spiritual identities and their place in the world causing them to to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives and to share their newfound spiritual knowledge and experiences with others.
Dear readers, this message aims to uplift your faith and introduce you to a beautiful being who loves you deeply. He planned your life before bending down to sculpt Adam from the dust of the Earth and knew your life's end from the beginning for his divine cause and purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Dear readers, have witnessed things I would have trouble believing without seeing them with my own eyes. Recently, while conducting a revival in Occidental Mindoro, Philippines, an elderly lady approached me one night during the service. She used hand gestures to convey that she desired prayer because she couldn't speak or hear. God granted her request that night, and the Mangyan tribe turned to God.
Beloved, as we conducted another service the next day, people from that tribe walked out of the mountains to join us. They claimed that "Jesus had appeared to them in dreams and visions" after he had healed the elderly lady in their tribe.
My wife and I prayed for a young lady on the way to our service who had been dealing with a blood issue for more than a month, similar to the woman who touched the helm of Jesus' garment. During the meeting, the young lady came forward for prayer, and the power of God in that corporate anointing healed her of that disease.
Beloved, there are many more stories I could tell you, such as the time God healed the father of Pastor Joseph Dunn, who was suffering from lung cancer in one of our Virginia miracle services. The miracle happened when he entered surgery to have his lung removed. However, when they opened him up, the doctors could not find the cancer. Beloved is still alive today, over 70 years old, testifying about how God spared his life when medical science had given up on him.
"CHRISTIANS COMING IN ON THE ELEVENTH HOUR."
Beloved, to better understand where we are on God’s circle of time and why this message on the coming end-time revival is so important, we need to do a study of the parable speaking about the man who hired some people in different parts of the day to work to bring in his harvest which can be found in Matthew the twentieth chapter.
Beloved, the parable found in (Matthew 20:1-13), speaks of a man that hired workers to work in his field to bring in his harvest and notice that he paid the workers that were hired in the last hour as much as he did those that braved the heat of the day.
Saints, notice that in the parable beginning at verse eight, the Lord of the vineyard instructed his servant to pay the ones that came in on the last first in front of the ones that were hired that morning which shows us that he is attempting not only to show the greed of man but a glimpse of God’s plan for the coming end-time revival.
Beloved, did you knot know that the famous late Smith Wigglesworth made a statement that God was going to visit his people in the end time harvest of souls so great that how he used him would be nothing compared how he will manifest his glory in the end time church?
As we take a moment to reflect on historical events, it's worth noting how God visited his church in mighty outpourings of his spirit that have left a lasting impact on Christianity. These events, still being discussed in the 21st century, were marked by an overwhelming sense of God's presence and power, as well as extraordinary signs and wonders.
Beloved, from the Azusa Street Revival in the early 1900s to the Jesus Movement of the 1960s and 70s, these outpourings of the Holy Spirit have significantly shaped the course of Christian history. As we look back on these events, we can gain insights into how God works in the lives of his people and how we can be open to receiving his grace and power in our lives today.
1. The Revival of the Word
2. The Revival of the Power of Faith
3. The Revival of the Joy in the Church
4. The Revival Experiencing the Glory
Beloved, according to this parable we can reflect back on the day in the year of 1611 when the honorable King James of England made a decree to place the word of God into the hands of the people.
Dear reader, this precious moment in history was used of God to birth forth ministries such as the Wesley’s, Charles Spurgeon, Whitfield and others in what we call the Word Revival or the Revival of the Word.
Saints, after the word revival era, we had Smith Wigglesworth, William Branham, Oral Roberts, Kathern Kuhlman, William Seymour, A.A. Allen, Don Stewart, T.L. Osbourne and others in what we call the Power Revival or the revival demonstrating the Power of God through signs, miracles and wonders which we will label Revival number two as "The revival of the power of Faith."
Beloved, next following the signs and miracle revival, we had Kenneth Hagen, Kenneth Copeland and others lose all composure and start laughing which brought criticism from the church world which we will label Revival number three "The Revival of the Joy in the Church."
As we eagerly anticipate the revival in the end times, I wanted to share a scripture on my heart with you. In (Romans 8:19), we are reminded that all of creation eagerly awaits the manifestation of the revealing of the sons of God. This means that, as believers, we are responsible for revealing God's love and power in the world.
Furthermore, as we seek to do this, we can draw inspiration from (Matthew 11:12), which speaks of the violent taking of the kingdom by force. This does not mean that we should resort to physical violence, but rather that we should be bold and determined in our pursuit of God's kingdom. We should be willing to take risks, step out of our comfort zones, and do whatever it takes to see what God will accomplish in the world.
This means the saints will walk in and demonstrate the glory anointing through the power of the preached word with signs, miracles and wonders ushering in a joyful sound as souls are delivered from trauma, hurts and depression which causes sickness as lives are touched and changed for eternity by the power of God. We will label this Revival number four "The Revival of Experiencing the Glory.
Saints, according to the parable concerning the man hiring the workers and paying those that come in on the last in front of and paying them as much as those that braved the heat of the day.
God could have selected any time and place for us to be born. However, some of us were chosen to be born and work during the eleventh hour to fulfill a crucial moment in history when the kingdom of God will confront the kingdom of darkness, known as the end-time revival.
In this revival, the saints will walk in and demonstrate the glory anointing through the power of the preached word with signs, miracles and wonders ushering in a joyful sound as souls are delivered from trauma, hurts and depression which causes sickness as lives are touched and changed for eternity by the power of God. We will label this Revival number four "The Revival of Experiencing the Glory.
At the moment of my physical birth, I entered the world in a state of lowliness and vulnerability, inferior to even the holy angels. However, through the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, I was spiritually reborn into the family of God. This second birth elevated me to honor and privilege as a co-heir with Christ and a participant in His divine glory. No longer am I subject to the limitations and shortcomings of my earthly existence, but I have been granted a share in the eternal riches of God's kingdom.
Beloved, God is preparing to pour his Spirit on the world, bringing millions of people into his kingdom. The ones who come in at the last hour will receive the same blessings and gifts as those who have been faithful for longer. This is a testament to God's grace and mercy towards everyone, regardless of their past or present circumstances, and we can take comfort in knowing that no matter when we come to faith, we will be welcomed with open arms and given the same opportunity to grow in our relationship with God as everyone else.
"GOD's CHOSEN ARMY."
Dear reader, did you know God is preparing a unique army of people often overlooked by society? He calls them his remnant but I call them the forgotten church of the hedge. These are the ones who have been pushed aside, those who don't fit in, and those whom the world has cast aside.
This army of God is not composed of the powerful, the wealthy, or the well-connected. Instead, it comprises people humbled by life's challenges, who have been broken and are now being remade by God's grace. They are being trained to face the enemy and take back what he has stolen from God's people.
This army is not going to war with weapons of violence but with weapons of love, kindness, and compassion. The enemy will not defeat them because God's power and passion protect them. They will march into the face of the enemy, not with pride or arrogance, but with humility and trust in God.
Church as I look at the influence that the church has in the world today, I seem to be left with some fundamental questions which I do not know if people will agree on the answers; however, there is some hope found in the words of Jesus in (Matthew 16:18) which states that the Lord will build his church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Beloved means that Christ, the head of the church, will build his church on top of the false, the hurting, the broken dreams, and broken hearts, including divorce and worldly views. Beloved, the true church of Jesus Christ is not and will not be a weak church.
Beloved, my question concerning some churches today would be, "Have church leaders and Christians forgotten why they were saved?"
Beloved, Saints, did you know that (Isaiah 40:31) speaks that if we wait patiently upon the Lord, we can renew our strength? Did you know that strength is what is on the inside of us and not what is on the outside?
We can use a good illustration by going to our bathroom and looking at a tube of toothpaste because when you squeeze it, what is on the inside will come out unless it is near empty; then, you may have to roll it.
Did you know that if we turn everything over to God, He promises to be our strength? Did you know that we do not have to be strong physically to be strong in the spiritual because when we have Jesus on the inside, we have all the strength we need to face and overcome any situation that may arise?
Dear God, I pray to bring us back to humility and cause us not to glory in any of our achievements as one that is proud but to help us keep our eyes on you, the author and finisher of our faith.
O Lord, may we establish an intimate relationship with you that would bring us to a place in you where we can pray a prayer like Daniel that will shake a whole empire, and Lord, help us not to glory in anything save the cross of Jesus Christ.
So, my friend, remember that no matter how insignificant or forgotten you may feel, God has a unique plan for you. He is preparing you to be a part of his remnant, an army that will change the world with love. I am talking about those who have been hurt in churches mainly because of organizations with their strict denominational rules and unforgiving pastors who fit the elder brother category in the prodigal son's parable.
Church, although some of these precious people have fallen into sin, they have learned from their mistakes and have been washed and cleansed by the blood of Christ in accepting his free pardon for their sins.
Beloved, these precious people have been set free by the power of God but have met opposition from church elders who informed them that because of their past, they no longer qualify to be in ministry.
Still, I am here to tell you by experience that the living God has allowed some of us to get down in the mud and cellars of life to be treated worse than a human should ever be treated because he has some undesirables that we are to meet in this end time push of the Spirit of God to rescue as many as possible from the grasp and rebellion of Satan.
Saints, I am stating that there are people who, like the woman at the well, had made plans for their lives; however, circumstances and events act as a steering wheel, sending them on a dangerous path and causing them to end up living on the streets, incarcerated and even divorced leaving them confused and devastated.
Beloved, a man may look down at them from their high seats of judgment and human reason, saying that they may have been cleansed but have forfeited their rights to be a leader, stating that they are no longer worthy of leading others, but wait a minute; did not God say the publicans and the harlots would go into his Kingdom before the rulers filled with pride would get in?
Saints, my my, don't you think some might need to say "Ouch-Elujah" right there? Still, the church, let’s get real; you have no way of relating to those on the streets or those who have suffered heartbreak through a divorce or homelessness living under a bridge unless you have been through what these men and women have had to brave.
Church, we can use an example of hurting humanity by finding some birds that have become injured in a storm, and we try to show them mercy. Still, because we are not on their level by being a bird, they will run from us because we are a giant monster to them.
Saints, we have people from all walks of life who have completed bible seminary and have had a successful ministry. Still, because of a tragedy in their life, like divorce or some other happening, they have been told by some church elders that they are no longer eligible for ministry.
Dearly beloved, may the Lord be with you, but a problem needs to be addressed because God looks at the heart. There is still a powerful anointing on these withered people that is shaking the gates of hell, and preachers have gone to their graves, craving to experience this kind of anointing.
Beloved Saints of the living all-wise and all-powerful God, I close this message with this question: how did Jesus respond to the woman at the well when she said Lord, I have no husband?
Church and fellow peers, you will discover that the Lord answered the woman with the words, “You have rightly said that you have no husband,” but You have had five, and the one you're with now is not your husband." Did you notice in the Lord's reply that he did not say you have five ex-husbands or even five living husbands?
Saints, what happened to the scripture in (Galatians 6:1) which warns us to consider ourselves lest we be tempted but notice beloved? At the beginning of that verse, the writer instructs us if we encounter a man dealing with being overtaken by a fault or a trespass, we who are spiritual should have the mindset to restore that person into fellowship.
Beloved reader, I rest my case with a message to the church elders of this ending day of grace, and that is, "you had better be prepared because the Forgotten Church of the Hedge is on the horizon, and they will become your new worship leaders including your pastors in this last day revival that is now upon us.
Many people feel that some churches today are more concerned with making their congregations feel comfortable than addressing the issue of sin. In their efforts to create a welcoming environment, some churches tend to shy away from discussing the consequences of sin and the need for repentance. This approach may seem appealing to some, but it fails to provide the proper spiritual guidance and transformation many seek.
MY CONCLUSION
Beloved, the biblical concept of the Holy Spirit being poured out on all people refers to the promise of God to fill every believer with the Holy Spirit, regardless of their age, race, or gender. This outpouring of the Holy Spirit is said to prepare the church for the second coming of Christ, also known as the church's rapture.
During this time, it is believed that there will be a great harvest of souls, as many people will come to faith in Christ through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. This promise is a source of hope and encouragement for believers looking forward to the day Christ returns and establishes his kingdom on earth.
This period is a time of great spiritual growth and development, where people can deepen their relationship with God and experience His love and power in new and profound ways resulting in a time of great spiritual renewal and transformation, where people can experience a deeper connection with God and a greater sense of purpose and direction in their lives. It is an era of great hope and promise, where people can look forward to a brighter future and a more fulfilling spiritual journey.
This end-time spiritual awakening is predicted to have significant effects on the world as a whole. It is believed that people will come to recognize God's sovereignty in the world, leading to greater harmony and unity among individuals and nations. There will also be a widespread desire to live according to God's will, which is expected to bring about positive changes in society and the world.
This spiritual awakening is a time of great hope and promise as people seek to connect with the Lord and find meaning and purpose in their lives. This transformative period is believed to help individuals grow and evolve, leading to a more enlightened and compassionate world.
During this time, people are expected to become more aware of their spiritual lives and develop a stronger relationship with God. They will also become more compassionate and loving toward others as they embrace God's love in their hearts. The revival is also predicted to bring about significant societal changes, such as a greater emphasis on morality, justice, and compassion.
"The Coming End-Time Revival" will be a time where people will come together in faith to work towards a brighter future for themselves and the world they live in. During this time, people will rediscover their hope and purpose in life as they turn toward God and embrace His love and power. This coming revival will bring an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and many people will experience a renewed sense of faith and commitment to God working together to create a more just and equitable society.
