“The time and purpose for all of our lives are very important and in fact, you are alive to meet those appointments, those people, and to pray those prayers. Listen and keep ever aware and alert to the voice of the Spirit and what He would have you say and what He would have you to pray. When you go around your house and you hear a word – repeat it, for it will be from Me.”

“If at the beginning of your day, you will acknowledge Me in all your ways; then I will alert you, for it is critical in this day that I have My Body speak and say what I want it to say. Know you are on call – you are on call! Give Me your all – you are on call! In the daylight hours and in the nighttime too everything is speeding up, and will until you are through to the brightness of the new day.”

“And so, this is not the time to let the enemy keep you sitting in confusion, in darkness, and despair – wondering why you are alive or why even care. But this is the time to know of your import. This is the time to know, for it is short. Yea, give Me your thoughts, your words, and do not shrink for you are on the very brink of the most wondrous days that have ever been.”

“And yea, even before the brightness of the new day, you shall see upon the Body of Christ the anointing come – the anointing of the Glorious One. And on in glory and in power you are going to finish this out, it’s your finest hour!”

“Do not center on the negative. Yea, be aware and alert and know it’s there. Focus on the light of My face and upon sureness of My Glory and My Grace. Who will begin to walk in a new atmosphere? You’ll begin to walk where things are very clear. You’ll hear a voice and you’ll turn around and say, ‘Who said that?’ It is because your hearing is tweaked in this day.”

“Those plans that seemed hard to come by and you’ve known before, now they will be very clear. It is not like it was in days of yore. There have been some key moments, there have been some key happenings, and things have stepped up. And you will see the operation of the dunamis power. Spoke I not unto you and said when Oral Roberts moved to Heaven there came a shift and there will be another. For you shall soon hear of the departure of another brother and know that when he goes, another shift will occur.”

“And it is not you that has being shaken, it is darkness. You receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And though all around others might see darkness, not you – you’ll see Me. Hah! You’ll get another breath, you’ll get another pick-up – even in your body, My very Queen. So, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for days of rejoicing! Praise God!

Nothing is held back that you need in this hour. Every word that has been spoken concerns every person in this room. We thank you Lord that you have the wherewithal to do it. You have time – it’s measured, but you have it.”

The following is a stunning vision given to American preacher Tommy Hicks (who was a major figure in the powerful 1954 Argentina Revival).

VISION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE END-TIME MINISTRIES
My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the  revelation  that  God  gave  me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25, 1961. I was  so stirred  and  so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon  the  end-time ministries.

The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever  been given lies straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize  and  understand the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times.

I received a letter several weeks ago  from  one  of  our  native evangelists  down  in  Africa,  down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could  they  write,  but we had been supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the  territory  of  Tanganyika,  they came  across  a  small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across  natives that were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong.

They  told  him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had  to  leave.  They were  afraid  to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they were. They pointed  to  the  hut and  he  asked  them  to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go.

The native and his wife went to this little cottage  and  entered in  where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus Christ,  and  spoke the man’s name and the woman’s name and said, “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I  command  life  to  come back  to  your bodies.”  Instantaneously these two heathen people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people.

To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning  of  these  end-time ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going  to  take every man and every woman and he is going to give
to them this outpouring of the Spirit of God.

In the book of Acts we read that  “In the last days,”  God  said, “I  will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I wonder if we realized what he meant when God said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I do not think I fully realized nor  could  I  understand the fullness of it, and then I read from the book of  Joel: “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord  your God: for he hath given you the former  rain  moderately,  and  he will cause to come down for you the rain, the  former  rain,  and the latter  rain -” (Joel 2:23). It is not only going to  be  the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, but  he  is  going  to give  to  his  people  in these last days a double portion of the power of God!

As the vision appeared to me  after  I  was  asleep,  I  suddenly found  myself  in  a  great  high distance. Where I was, I do not know. But I was looking down upon the earth. Suddenly  the  whole earth  came  into  my  view.  Every  nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, the north and  the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembing  as  I  beheld he great sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder.

As the lightning flashed over the face  of  the  earth,  my  eyes went  downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked  at  it,  I was  almost  bewildered  by  the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the  south.  Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. I could not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or this be  a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but  his body was covered with debris from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it  would  even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run  away  from  this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back.

All  of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven, and then it lifted its other hand, and when it  did  these  creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night.

Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands  went  into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and  filth  that  was  upon him,  and  he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds.

Suddenly,  every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon it was so  great  I could  not  even  begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord  and  I  said, Oh  Lord,  what  is the meaning of this.” and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the  Lord even as I was asleep.
And  from  those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant,  and  slowly,  slowly, this  giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted,  his whole form seemed to  have  melted upon  the  face  of  the earth, and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth  itself and  as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As  I  beheld the sight before me, people stood up all  over  the  world!  They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord.

At that very moment there came a great  thunder  that  seemed  to roar  from  the  heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white – the  most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the  Lord  Jesus  Christ, and  he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth to one, and to  another,  and  to  another.  And  as  he stretched  forth  his hand upon the nations and the people of the world – men and women – as he pointed toward  them,  this  liquid light seemed to flow from his hands into them, and a  mighty  anointing of God came upon them, and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord.

I  do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch  forth his hand; but there was a tragedy. There were many people as he stretched forth his hand that refused the  anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God.  But  as he  stretched forth his hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each  of those that seemed to bow down and back away, seemed  to  go  into darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere.

I  was  bewildered  as I watched it, but these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world,  in Africa,  England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people as they  went  forward  in the  name  of  the  Lord.  I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they  were rich  men,  they  were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness.  As  the  Lord stretched  forth  to give them this anointing, they became  well, they became healed, and they went forth!

And this is the miracle of it – this is the glorious  miracle  of it  – those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed as if there was this same liquid fire  in their  hands. As they stretched forth their hands they said, “According to my word, be thou made whole.”

As these people continued in this  mighty  end-time  ministry,  I did  not  fully realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, “What is the meaning of this?” And he said, “This  is  that which  I  will  do  in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpiller – I will restore  all that  they have destroyed. This, my people, in the end times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of  the earth.”

As  I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the  face of  the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps  he  was  in Russia,  or China or America or some other place, and vice versa.
All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.

Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And  like  Jesus,  they  passed through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer, and  after  I  had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and I thought about it many times, I realised that I never saw a church, and I never saw
or heard a denomination, but these people were going in the  name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah!

As  they  marched forth in everything they did as the ministry of Christ in the end times, these people  were  ministering  to  the multitudes  over  the  face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these  people stood  forth  and  gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it  seems  as though there were those that rebelled, and they would become  an-
gry and they tried to  attack  those  workers  that  were  giving the message.

God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last  hour as the world has never known. These men  and  women  are  of  all walks  of life, degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would  stumble  and  fall, another would come and pick him up. There were no “big I” and “little you,” but every mountain was brought low  and every  valley  was  exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common – there was a divine love, a divine love  that  seemed  to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I  have  ever known.  Jesus  Christ was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed the days went by as I stood and beheld this  sight.
I  could  only  cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the  face  of  the  whole  earth, bringing forth in this last end time.

As  I  watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations,  and  that congregation would lift up their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, “I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh,” and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and every  woman that  received this power, and the anointing of God, the miracles of God, there was no ending to it.
We have talked about miracles. We have  talked  about  signs  and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o’clock this morning the letter from our  native  workers.  This  is  only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a “do-nothing, an unheard-of,” who would go and stretch  forth  his hand  and  say,  “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body.” I dropped to my knees and began  to pray  again,  and  I said, “Lord, I know that this time is coming soon!”

And  then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution seemed to come from every angle.

Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder, that seemed  to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice, the  voice that  seemed to speak, “Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride.” And when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth  and  I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be  rising.  And  as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every direction. From the  east  and  the  west, from the north and the south, and they seemed to be forming again
this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ  seemed  to  be  rising first, I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvellous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of.

But as this body suddenly began to form, and  take  shape  again, it  took  shape  again in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful  gorgeous  white.  Its  garments  were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed to be gathered  into  this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the  Lord Jesus  came,  and  became  the  head, and I heard another clap of thunder that said, “This is my beloved  bride  for  whom  I  have waited. She will  come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time.”

As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the  far  north,  and  I saw  seemingly  destruction:  men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in destruction. Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, “Now is My wrath being poured out upon the  face of the earth.” From the ends of the whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God’s wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. I can remember  it  as  though  it  happened  a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing  the  cities,  and whole nations going down into destruction.

I  could  hear  the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in he mountains opened up.

They  leaped  into  water,  but  the  water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were  wanting  to take their lives, but they could not. Then  again  I  turned  my eyes to this glorious sight, this body
arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly,  it began  to  lift  from  the  earth, and as it did, I awoke. What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries – the last hour.  Again on July 27, at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before.

My life has been changed as I realised  that  we  are  living  in that  end  time,  for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a  churchianity.  It  is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord, and are going to say, “I heard it  so many  times  in  the  vision and according to my word it shall be done.”
