My Vision of the
Lord Jesus Christ
THE END TIME MINISTRY
OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
( A nameless,
faceless generation coming - ministering salvation and
healing to
the nations)
On the morning of July 25, 1961, at
2:30, I received a vision from the Lord, that has entirely
revolutionized my whole life and ministry. It seemed as
though
I had hardly gone to sleep, when this vision came before me…not
once…but three times. Oh wonder of wonders when again on July
27th this vision appeared. In each instance, the
details were identical.
Suddenly in the vision, I was standing
with the full view of the whole world before me. From out of
the heavens came great thunderings and lightning. Accompanied
with this phenomena, came a voice…a great voice…for it was the
voice of God.
My face was turned towards the North.
With a great flash of lightning covering the entire earth, I
looked down and beheld a massive form that appeared like a huge
Giant.
I was amazed as I saw this Giant cover the earth. Its feet
seemed to reach to the North Pole, and its head extended to the
South Pole. The arms were dramatically spread from sea to sea.
Again with another great flash, I saw that this Giant was
alive…and yet strange to say…struggling for life. I said, “Oh
Lord, what does this mean?”
This massive being was covered with
debris and seemed to be fettered.
As I viewed this being, it
began to quiver, then almost go into convulsive gestures. As
this took place, I saw thousands of strange like creatures.
Every time the Giant would quiver, they would withdraw. However
when it ceased to move they would return again. I was
definitely made to know what these creatures were. They were
instruments that had bound the body of
Christ through the ages.
Suddenly the right hand of the Giant
came up, and with that, came a loud voice like a roar of thunder
from heaven, itself. Then his left hand was raised…and as I
looked, I saw its hands extend into the very heavens. Then very
slowly, the Giant began to rise…and with the giant hands, began
to cleanse the debris from off its body. I saw it rise to its
feet, with hands outstretched to heaven. So great that its
hands were in the heavens, while one foot was in the sea, the
other was on the earth. I trembled immensely, for never before
had I seen such a sight.
Presently, the sky was filled with
clouds…heavy clouds…but lo they turned to silver…until from the
very silver clouds themselves came liquid drops of light and
power on the form of the Giant. I watched intently…I saw
the giant melt
to the earth itself…as though it was being poured
out from heaven itself. The form had seemed to dissolve
and now in its place I saw millions of people. I cried to
the Lord, “What is the meaning of this?” A voice so clear
and vibrant said plainly, “I will restore to you the years that
the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and
the palmerworm, my great army, which I sent among you."
As I listened to the voice and watched the
multitude of people, from the clouds came great drops, like
liquid light…this majestic heavenly substance made every one it
touched lose their identity…and their identification was JESUS.
I saw no barriers, no denominations, nor sects, but the
transcendent glory of heaven that rested upon these people
compelled them to lift their
hands in praise and adoration.
I watched to see who this company was
worshipping. At that point, I saw
a great white figure come out
of the clouds…pointing His finger to one and then another. It
seemed that He was giving directions, for as He would point,
they would go…some to the east, some to the west, and in each
direction. I could see them marching through cities, towns and
villages…some through deserts, forests and jungles. God is
going to have a perfect Church. He is going to
have a people
that is so endued with power that it will not be an exposition
of self, but it will be Christ in them the hope of glory. I saw
these people pass through the fire, unburned…cross rivers as
though there was no water there…they crossed oceans with ease,
escaped persecution as though a hand transported them from their
surroundings.
In spite of wild beasts roaring, being
attacked by men with swords and weapons of war, nothing seemed
to hinder them. They moved over mountains, and down through
valleys…they moved like the hart skipping upon the hills. Their
faces shone with the countenance of Victors…they were
conquerors.
I hesitate to tell this part of the
Vision, because it was with great trembling,
I received this
portion of the revelation. I saw the man, clothed in white,
point with a sceptered hand. Again there was pouring forth from
his hand this that I call “liquid power.” As soon as it would
touch the person, that person would have his hands bathed and
dripping in the same heavenly substance. Upon receiving this
anointing, they would walk into hospitals…through the
streets…into the institutions, and on and on, marching
throughout the length and the breadth of the land. I could hear
them saying, “according to my Word, be
thou made whole.” As the
liquid power flowed from their hands, each one
they touched was
instantly healed and made whole.
I saw people transported in the Spirit
from nation to nation. I saw them going to Siberia…to Africa…to
Canada…and to the ends of the earth. I saw them literally
lifted up and placed by the Spirit in the respective countries.
Then I heard a voice…not a thundering
voice this time but a voice that was low and beautiful as the
murmuring of the waters. This tender voice said, “My little
children. I have given unto thee my treasures. You are mine;
you belong
to me. I have loved thee with an everlasting love.
Now my power shall be
IN YOU. The gifts that I have given unto
thee shall be made manifest to a
lost and dying world. I am
going to restore to thee all.” These people arose in the power
of this great commission. I saw them cross oceans…go through
fire, face persecutions, and be lifted by the Spirit and
transported to many places. They were being placed where God
wanted them…they were being put in places where God was going to
visit His people. They were prepared and already equipped.
I realized that this whole panoramic
picture was the demonstration of the Kingdom of God through
those who follow Him. I continued to see a stream
of people
marching…healed…blind eyes opened…deaf ears unstopped…literally
millions receiving of the power of this great manifestation. It
seemed
so “fluid” in it operation. There was no exaltation of a
man…simple words
were constantly repeated…simple, but
profound…”ACCORDING TO MY WORD, BE THOU MADE WHOLE.”
As I watched, it seemed as though days
formed into weeks, until months
and years seemed to slip
away…and in the midst of those who received the fullness of
God’s visitation, there were also those who withdrew. I could
see the anguish of their faces…the price was too steep…retaining
of identification
meant too much to them. They refused to
march…and eventually slumped away. The price was more than they
could bear…they eventually slipped out into the darkness of the
night.
To speak of the following instances
leaves me weak with the glory and the power of the tremendous
finale.
The days, month and years seemed to
slip by as I beheld this celestial scene. Nevertheless, it all
happened in a short time…possibly just a few seconds…who can
tell? No tongue could adequately tell the glory and the
splendor of
the formation of this angelic host. In a
moment…just a twinkling of an eye, the graves of the saints had
become as a plowed field and the saints from all ages…from the
seas…the mountains…the deserts…from every imaginable place,
gave
up her dead…and rose in power and majesty…to be absorbed into
the great Giant…No debris covered this great being now…it was
clothed in heaven’s majesty…glorious shining garments…so
brilliant that it would make
a million diamonds look dull.
Everyone was in the state of
perfection, and that moment I heard again as it were a great
thunder…and I turned to behold the most repelling sight human
eye can witness. From the heavens above, poured forth the vials
of wrath…the wrath of God…It seemed that wrath and justice of
God was wrung out drops
of unspeakable anguish and suffering.
The Christ rejecting peoples of the earth had had their cup
filled.
Once again my attention was drawn to
this glorious body…as I heard again the voice…even as thunder
crying…”BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH. GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM.
For He is the Lord of glory.
Lift up your heads oh ye gates…be
ye lifted up ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall
come in.” Then as though the great Maestro of heaven had given
the sign, a mighty volume of harmonies…heaven’s harmonies pealed
forth like music born on the wings of a heavenly dove. The
music was clear…vibrant. Rich and resonant…it was heaven’s
music…the song of the souls set free.
They were singing a new
song, and what I thought to be added accompaniment, now became
clearer…stronger…it was the voice of the Bride…many voices but
one voice singing the Song of Moses and the Lamb.
As I listened, I suddenly became weak…and
yet even the weakness was my strength…for I had been in the
presence of the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
I was filled with an unspeakable surge of the
Spirit to go tell all nations…press the battle to the front line
trenches of a lost and dying world.
Folks, the Kingdom is here. The very
power and spirit of the Kingdom of God so possessed me. I knew
it was the revelation of the King in all His
Kingly authority.
I could see that the Lord was showing me that the Kingdom
of God
was coming into view. This was the revelation of the Kingdom of
God coming to man. The very spirit and power of that Kingdom so
gripped me,
I felt like one caught away to the third heaven.
Daniel saw the everlasting Kingdom…no power in the world will be
able to destroy this Kingdom. Once again, I saw this body now
being lifted into the heavens. At this point I awoke. The
vision repeated in the same manner three times again. Each time
perfect
in detail. From that moment to this, these words have
rung through my soul…
HE”S COMING SOON…HE’S COMING !!!!!!
