Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. John 14:12.
I have the key to the greater works that Jesus prophesied would happen. The Holy Spirit universalized the moving of Christ’s ministry in a many-membered Body. But the unique manifestation of the Body of Christ comes forth in the end time, when in a very special way it is united, and raised up.
We will find the New Testament principles and practices restored as a part of the establishment of what God will do today.
This is the time for the establishment of all things spoken of by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began. This is more than a restoration of the New Testament. It is everything from the Old and New Testaments, on up to the present, as well as reaching into the powers of the age to come and bringing them into the present.
We will walk in an establishment, in the greater works of all that is past, present, and that which is still in the future. The remnant will be the only timeless people ever to come forth, a people that will know no distinction of dispensation. They will have no limitations of dispensation.
This is prophetic revelation, things beyond anything I have ever expressed before. As we stand before the Lord, the restrictions of the past, of the present, and even any restrictions of the future will be removed from that remnant which moves in God in the end time. We will be moving in the next age to come.
One of the greatest keys that will come forth at this time to help the people is that they will learn how to become instruments of Deity.
Their common focus upon any one thing that is presented to them as a Body will do more than any ministry or any combination of ministries that have existed from the days of the book of Genesis up to the present hour.
The great problem is that we have not understood this. Something has to break through the limitation of our mind. We know we are on the verge of changes, because the minute we begin to open up to this, immediately satanic pressures come against us.
The end time remnant will also find the restrictions of the curse removed from them, on a plane of individual authority in Christ that resembles what Adam and Eve had in the garden.
When God created Adam, He gave him dominion over all the work of His hands. After the fall everything within him was limited and fogged, reduced to only a fraction of what he had before.
Do you understand how Adam could control things? Have you ever heard of people who could control the growth of plants in a limited degree, who by their presence could cause plants to wither or to grow very rapidly?
Can animals be controlled by man? Jacob was able to control the heredity and the markings of an entire flock just by the striped stakes he set before the animals. Do you believe it is possible for one human being to control another human being or to control inanimate objects by the power of their mind?
The prophet Elijah was able to control life and death. He could bring fire out of heaven to devour his adversaries. The prophets moved in the control of the animate and the inanimate world. They had dominion over the natural realm. They moved freely in the spiritual realm. Yet all this was limited. These are only shadows of what Adam had when God gave him dominion over all the work of His hands.
What do you think will happen in the end time when limitations and restrictions are removed? Can you understand now, why you’re under pressure, why all hell breaks loose against you when you come into this walk with God?
It is because we are coming into a breakthrough. But the greatest thing that we can be occupied with in this hour is to break through—to minister to people and bring to them the glorious message of the Kingdom.
This gospel of Christ’s Kingdom, with all of its force and power and all the declaration of its Lord and His exaltation must be preached in the entire world for a witness.
Before judgment comes, the world will receive one more witness—the most fantastic, supernatural, powerful, miraculous, judgment-sweeping ministry that time has ever seen.
This is the day for the establishment, the restitution, the restoration. These three words are used in various translations of Acts 3:21, which speaks of the time of the establishment, the restitution, or the restoration of all things which God hath spoken by the mouths of all his holy prophets since the world began.
The heavens must receive and contain Jesus until the time for this. Is this the time?
When you worship, do you just sing along or are you really worshiping the majestic Lord who is coming to be glorified in the believer, to be exalted; whose very presence is to be admired in His saints?
When you read the Bible, read it carefully and thoroughly, If you are a casual reader of the Scriptures, you will be deceived; because you will read about Jesus and the disciples, about Judas and the betrayal, about the persecutions and difficulties, about the One who was despised and rejected of men and misunderstood, for though the world was made by Him, the world knew Him not.
But that will not be true in this hour. He is coming to be glorified, not betrayed. He is coming to be admired, not despised.
The prophet spoke of the Lamb who was to be the sacrifice, but He was the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who came to be King and now is coming to be Lord.
Do you really know what this walk with God is all about? The veil has been over many things while God was preparing us. Jesus said, I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled? Luke 12:49.
Don’t be confused about what the Lord is coming to do with us. He is not coming to bless churches, to give a shot of adrenalin to the old corpse to make it dance again.
He is coming to bring death and destruction to the old order of things and to bring forth the birth of the new. The charismatic renewal did not build churches: it tore them up. Pastors were separated from their congregations; congregations were decimated and split. What happens when God starts to move? Judgment starts from the house of the Lord.
The next step in this walk will be revolutionary more than a blessing, as we begin to invade Babylon with guerrilla tactics and leave it in shambles.
In the book of Revelation the people of this earth weep when Babylon comes down.
There is weeping and wailing in their hearts as they see the glory and grandeur of Babylon destroyed. They hate to see the collapse and destruction of a great religious and commercial enterprise which has held kingdoms and economic enterprises together.
Don’t think that this will trouble only a few churches. God wants to bring an end to the old order, and He will destroy it by a word as the people stand and prophesy, a new day is coming forth?
The Spirit of God is desiring within us that the plane of prophecy should rise to become creative with judgment; that we shall speak and impart living words to transform and change people as they hear them—the kind of words the living Christ spoke to His disciples, Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. John 15:3.
Imagine, the cleansing and purging, to be removed from every contamination of this age, through the spoken word. That can come, as it is prophesied, to the many-member Body as Christ speaks to His people again. The ends of the earth will hear the songs of Zion, and the powers of hell will tremble.
We are to stop interpreting the book of Revelation the way Satan has inspired men without revelation to interpret it. Much of it has been fulfilled and the traditional ways of interpreting it are as dead and false as the interpretations of the scribes and Pharisees in the days when the church came forth.
The apostles were anointed to see things in the Word that so upset the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the chief priests that they were ready to kill them as heretics because they thought it was false doctrine. But it wasn’t.
We read the New Testament today it makes the Old Testament alive, but the Jews still are blinded when they read the Old Testament because they never received that revelation to know what it was about.
Those who read the New Testament at this time with no other interpretations than dispensational teaching are missing what God is doing.
The most significant thing that has happened in the last two thousand years is the restoration and you can’t find that in any of the traditional interpretations of the Bible, because there was no revelation of it. God will bring revelation and we will probably be called heretics. But the revelation will show us how to make it happen and how to walk in it. The keys of knowledge will be restored to the church. Wisdom will return. God will restore the authority to the church.
Why are you a believer? Because the Lord has given you a revelation of Himself, limited as it might be. Don’t say, “I’m going to have a walk with God.” You have a walk with God, but you need to overcome the passivity in your mind and spirit. You need something to loose you and purge you within and without until you are transformed by the renewing of your mind, and you know the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. By the grace of God we will look to Him for that.
In recent revelations from the Lord and visitations from saints who have gone on before, the Lord is revealing things that are going to come.
I know that none of this that God will do is to happen because of anything in us. God is raising up the poor of this world to make them rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom. The marvel will be His grace poured out upon an unworthy and inadequate people.
Was it because of Samson’s biceps that he could pull up gates and carry them to a hilltop ten miles away; that he could slay a thousand men? No, for the Word says that the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and the greatest mystery among the Philistines was the source of his strength, for they couldn’t find it in the man.
God will do signs and wonders—the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. Daniel 11:32b. The key is in knowing Him and walking with Him. It’s in His grace, in His love and His mercy that comes down upon us. He will clothe and blanket us with it, so that we will be bold as lions, fierce as tigers, walking in where angels fear to tread, doing the work of the Lord.
What did they say about the early disciples? That they were ignorant and unlearned men was the general consensus of opinion. Who’s afraid of ignorant and unlearned men?
They were! Kill them! Stone them! Get rid of them because they were turning the world upside-down. They were the lever that God used.
Lord, we dedicate our hearts to be that people. We are going to draw grace as we have never drawn it before; we are going to draw the power of God as we have never dared to appropriate before. We are going to throw aside our hangups and our problems and inadequacies, and draw upon the unlimited grace of God, the excellencies of His power and authority. Amen.
Suddenly the material things don’t seem important. What really is important is the flow of grace in the vessels that God is creating: grace to walk, grace to run, grace to wait upon Him, grace to forsake the impulsiveness of the human nature, grace to forsake the temperamentalness, the irresponsibility that belongs to the flesh, grace to forsake all the things that seem to shackle us down with human reasoning and viewpoints instead of viewing it from the divine side of things.
Lord, give us grace—grace to change, grace to open our eyes, grace to view a world that is hid from us even though we are believers, grace to understand the Word and to walk in it, grace so that we would tremble before the Lord but we would know we are not abandoned.
