Prophecy is being fulfilled by the moment. Several weeks ago (Ministry's Archives Section...4-8-06), the Holy Spirit related our position on Heaven's Timeline. The revelatory content unveiled what was about to transpire in Ecuador and surrounding regions, thus providing a Marking Post of the pending miraculous, as this earth convulses, while awaiting a manifestation of God's Sons and Daughters. Tuesday, June 20th, commenced the fulfillment of this word. Here is a partial account:
MANAGUA, Nicaragua -- Big waves, generated by a storm 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) away, battered Central America's Pacific coast Tuesday, destroying homes, hotels and restaurants from Peru to Mexico. There were no reports of deaths, but hundreds of people were evacuated from coastal communities. The waves had been hitting coastlines from Ecuador's Galapagos Islands to the Mexican resort of Acapulco for several days. In Nicaragua, authorities ordered 200 people evacuated after 15-foot (4.5-meter) waves surged 100 yards (meters) up the shore and claimed about 20 homes in Puerto Corinto, on the country's western coast.
Most recently I was given a portfolio of letters, hand written in England by famed Apostle Smith Wigglesworth, well over sixty years ago, and sent to a friend on the West Coast. The fragile documents were discovered recently in a Hollywood, California mansion, where the original owner had placed them in a vault.
While reading those epistles, the Presence of the Lord overwhelmingly filled my Clinic. There was no question in this writer's mind that the authoring of them, by one who raised the dead on numerous occasions, and brought healing to the sick, had left a discernable spiritual imprint, an unction that hadn't lost its potency over the years.
Smith's words boldly stood out on one of the pages..."Faith comes by repeating words!" Repetition ingrains Glory's will and intent within the hearer. Obviously, in order to speak, one must hear. When articulating the Oracles of God, the Believer must be in a position whereby the Heavenly Father can impart the revelatory.
Intimacy leads to transparency. By practicing His Presence, an infusion of the revelatory swiftly ensues, since the Most High created us for fellowship with Him. Nothing is to be hidden. An increase of knowledge has been promised for these days of outpouring. When lacking wisdom and understanding, the Family is instructed to seek His face, after which the Creator's hand will be evidenced.
Faith-filled words dominate the law of sin and death. Wigglesworth said it well. "Repeat what you hear on the inside." The power of life and death resides in the tongue. That tiny, often unruly member can instigate wars, ruin relationships, devastate people, or literally raise the dead.
Again, no revelation (word) from God is void of the Power necessary for bringing itself to pass. Smith had learned that well. No matter where he traveled a small pocket Testament accompanied God's Apostle of faith. Fifteen minutes wouldn't pass without a snack from Heaven's Table. In the middle of a meal, Smith would read Scripture. The Word literally became a part of his very being, thus ruling Wigglesworth's actions and their associated fruits. After all, you don't perform creative exploits by drinking Diet Coke all day and watching the tube! Throne Room residency is required, prep work for those "greater works than these." There aren't any shortcuts.
I often contemplate the remarkably creative and innovative progress man has made over the past century. Earlier this week, while at a local eatery, a small group of us awaited seating and noticed several very old photographs of Augusta, Maine, on the internal walls of the waiting section. "Downtown" appeared so primitive back then! What is currently pavement, at that time was loose gravel. Horse drawn wagons could be seen transporting residents and visitors around town. Men wore ancient hats and funny looking suits. No one seemed to smile. Unlike today, traffic jams weren't much of a problem.
This related thought went through my mind. "What were those people thinking as they walked the streets of Central Maine? Perhaps many pondered the day's agenda, a potential purchase, or some small business venture. Some might have been concerned about finances, the health of their respective families, a wagon wheel that wiggled during movement and transport, or maybe some chronic physical condition within a loved one's body.
Ten or more decades later has brought many answers and remedies for humanity's queries and woes. We now know more about the Word than ever before. Once again, Wigglesworth had a remarkable and potent revelation in the forties..."Faith arrives by repeating (revelatory) words." We're talking about creative, Glory-imparting professions of the Lord's heart, what's needed to bring Heaven to earth, and set the record straight, relative to God's will for men, women and children of planet earth.
Knowledge has additionally been progressive. During the horse and buggy era, it's fairly safe and accurate to conclude that no one was pondering laptop computers and journeying to the moon's surface. A considerable period of time would pass before any of that came into being, but only baby steps would lead man to the awesome and remarkable.
Not many years ago, a simple memory system, designed to unscramble names and sort index cards, would virtually fill a room. One of my laptops possesses more memory than was imaginable in that day. What's on a simple PC couldn't have been housed in an average-size building. Explaining binary codes to the most learned scientist of the nineteenth century would have left him confused, confounded and mentally congested. Yet, today, the majority take such inventions for granted, as knowledge and technology advance and improve by the moment. Such is also the case in the Spirit realm. We are being accorded enough revelation to perform the previously impossible!
This is a new day. The old has passed away. Behold, all seemingly morphs by the moment. Reality's only constant is change. The Lord of Glory's harvest is manifesting rewards from sown seed overnight, while the proverbial gap narrows between the revealed, spoken and materialized. Reapers are surpassing sowers! On the negative end, what one used to get away with for a season seems to be bearing fruit, or consequences, overnight.
I strongly sense that the Holy Spirit is poised to reveal more about today's flow. Let's attend to His sayings!
"Faithful Follower, is it not written that the spirit of man is the candle
of the Lord, or place in which He makes known His will? Surely! Picture an
infant, then a toddler. Would a newborn be expected to mature physically,
emotionally, developmentally and spiritually overnight? Certainly not! No good
parent would push that process. Instead, caretakers focus on a little one's
environment and the nourishment required to maintain systems and enhance that
youth's life. Plans are made for the future. Parents prioritize and champion
destiny above many other considerations. Although not pushed, growth is
anticipated and eagerly expected. Learning and love go hand in hand, while the child
is introduced to the novel and unknown. In fact, parents usually delight in
sharing what they, themselves, have learned over the years. Great significance
is placed upon the passing along of knowledge, wisdom, techniques and
understanding. 'Like Father, like Son,' is a frequently used quip. Nevertheless,
most Daddies yearn for their own to succeed and supercede generational
accomplishments and acquirements. In healthy families, there remains no jealousy over
what the Throne Room deems good and perfect. Your Heavenly Father is just
like that! Nothing will be withheld from those making a quality decision, from
whence there's no return, to seek My face and follow Glory's Pathway. As with
each hair, your days count and have been numbered to manifest displays of the
miraculous...Love, Light and Life. No beneficial impartation can be withheld
from the Bride, as She moves forward into a Covenant-backed progression of
transformation, a Glory to Glory promotional unveiling and demonstration of
Calvary's wages...the finished work of Christ. Within each and every being is
the most sophisticated GPS/Radar System imaginable...man's spirit, the
conscience. Therein can be found the very keys to life, death, blessing and cursing.
Seasonal sensitivity has never been more imperative. Upon experiencing the
slightest nudgings and promptings from the Teacher, shift gears, render those
mid-course corrections without reservation, since blessing, both internal and
external, reside in that mode. If one ignores the Standby's still, small
Voice, resonating within humanity's regenerated spirit, a quick discovery is
made. An immediate consequence is this. Ears become dull of hearing. From a roar
to a whisper, discounted directives diminish in intensity and frequency. At
that point, anxiety, depression and ill-fated guidance become the norm. Man
consequentially enters a state of confusion and anger. The heart becomes
hardened. Discomfort and failure subsequently remain the norm. In My Presence is
fullness of joy. The Secret Place, or venue, where mysteries are readily
revealed is where you are to maintain residency. Man's renewed,
Covenant-impregnated conscience then takes him to Glory's pinnacle, far beyond the learning
curve of limitation. Furthermore, all visions, generated by the Blood of the
Lamb, have a Voice. They'll speak to available ears, those willing to hear. Your
life gains genesis from the inside. Obedience, not sacrifice, concentrically
works out that salvation, to a point where Rivers of Living Water remove all
obstacles and whet those dry regions of prior wars and oppositional
defiance. Trust not in oppression. You were not fashioned for defeat!"
