The Coming Days

February 17, 2000

Dear Brethren,

I submit these words to you and may the Holy Spirit bring  His clarity to
you even as you test them.

There has been many words spoken about the coming revival. And even without
words, many of us have felt it in our hearts. We knew that something great
and mighty has been prepared in the heavenlies and God is  ready to reveal
this to His people.

As I've been watching in my heart and looking with anticipation as I await
these blessed times. The Holy Spirit began to drop these words and visions
into my heart.

FATHER'S  WORDS TO US:

My people, Behold for My glory is about to be revealed and My messengers are
on their way. As you prepare for that day, hear Me  and take these to heart.

>From generation to generation, I've never failed to revealed Myself to you
through signs and wonders and miracles. Yet I have these  to say against
many of you. So today, I am calling you to repent of these wrong attitudes
and precepts.

Come and let us reason together, Come and take time to sit on My lap. Come
and allow Me to soothe you. Give Me your ears and your full attention for I
am saying these things because I love you so much and  My desire is for you
to enjoy and benefit fully from  what I am about to pour out in your midst
among the nations.

You asked me: "What do You have against us Father? Where have we gone wrong
in the past?" And I will tell you, " I love you dear children for your
openness to My correction and I will bless you abundantly for this."

Listen and listen carefully, My beloved. Many have polluted the blessings
that I've poured out amongst you in the past.  You have set human structures
around them, you have added human standards and expectations around you. You
have put human tags and names on them as if you can contained Me this way
and put a claimed upon My blessings. These you did because You do not know
Me but know only My blessings. In the same manner that the Israelites people
have corrupted the bronze snake that Moses has made to bring healing in
their midst and Hezekiah had  to broke it into pieces. (Number 21:8-9, 2
Kings 18:4). This too has taken place in your midst.

But now I am changing the rules. When the latter rain comes. No one can
claimed it .  For I will come in ways that no man will be able to explain
and foretell. I will come in times and season that you will not expect. I
will not work in patterns and  ways that you cannot put signs and tags on.
Like the wind I will blow where I want. Like lightning I will strike where I
pleased. Like thunder I will speak how I want. This time I will make sure
that all glory will be mine and mine alone and no human name will be
attached to them.

This is my charge to you. Go to the hurting, go to those who are in the
crowd that needs me. Forget those who are already immersed in my glory. 
Seek out my lost and hurting sheep. Do not focus your eyes on those who have
received already the miracle and those who are already experiencing my
glory. I will be enough for them. But there are many that remains that need
a touch from me. These are the one that you have to seek out. Be like my Son
who willingly leave the ninety-nine to look for the one  that has wandered
off. (Matthew 18:10-13) Focus on those who are still lost. They are the ones
that you must set your heart upon.

The time is near, the time is soon. Set your houses in order.

(At this point, God showed me a series of visions  to help me understand
better what He is trying to tell me. )

I saw a circular race track where marathon races are held and I saw the
first group of runners all holding batons in their hands. They were all
wearing similar uniforms and running in one direction. After some times,
this first group meet a second group waiting for them and they entrusted to
them the batons they were holding. The second group of runners began to run
around the field  in the same way as the first group and after some times
meet another group and were ready to pass on the batons to the third group.
However there was something very striking about the third group of runners,
instead of running in the usual way as the first two. They began running to
the crowd and some went out of the crowd, and as they do  that, they began
passing the batons around and after a while of trying to trace where the
batons were being passed, I lost count of it. I cannot identify anymore
where  the batons have come and go but  I can see that the race is still on
because there were still  runners around and they were just everywhere.

The Holy Spirit began to explained to me the meaning of this vision. The
baton represented God's anointing. The runners were the people  in whom God
has given these anointing. In the past two generations represented by the
first two sets of runners, the way that these anointing were carried in the
lives of God's anointed ones were very identifiable. We can easily
recognized and identify each one by  their style of ministry and the way
they bring it forth to the people.  This generation, God  is releasing  a
new kind of anointing which  will be totally different than what we have
seen in the past generations. It will be greatly dispersed and we will not
be able to point out the person anymore but all we can see will be  the
glory of God working in the midst of His people.

I began to follow where these third runners went, some of them went into the
supermarket, others were inside school, others were in disco houses and even
in theatres, some even run to places known for prostitution and drugs. And
as each one reach a certain destination, suddenly I see like a fireball fall
upon the people and the normal activities  were disrupted. Suddenly some
people  began jumping up and down for joy as they received healing , while
others were down on their knees under great conviction and I heard them
crying out to God to forgive them and save them. There was such a great
excitement in each places. But  the runners continue to moved forward. Often
times, they never stopped to socialized but continued running to the other
places. And their feet did not seem to touch the ground but they seem to be
flying as they run.

At the end of the day. I saw a big gathering like what we used to witness on
most crusades. But this time, when God's people were meeting, it was a time
of gathering of His saints to worship God. The purposes and focus of these
type of gathering seems to have changed. No longer were they just for souls
but the main reason for their gathering was to be worship the Lord and to
give Him glory and praise for all that He has done.

Oh, what a glorious sight it was to behold.


 A PRAYER TO THE FATHER

"Father God, cleanse our corrupted minds and our selfish hearts from all
human understanding. Filled it anew with the oil of your understanding and
truth. Forgive us for our transgressions. Give us new hearts.  Help us Holy
Spirit to set our eyes upon the Master at all times. We need your wisdom and
your grace to be able to stand before you this day. Father God, pour down
your Spirit upon us your people. Rain down upon us a holy fear of you. Teach
us how to truly behold your glory. Amen!"

Awaiting for that glorious day with you of unveiling with you,
