The Spirit of God took over to give me this message, and the Lord revealed exactly what He wanted you to know. The Holy Ghost gives me my messages, and I receive a different anointing for each one; and oh, how I’ve been with God for this one. Heaven was delighted, and the Holy Spirit rejoiced on the inside of me. As you read this message, feel Him rejoicing within you, too, as His holy power moves. There is a mighty anointing for you in this message; and the Lord wants to feed you from His table of love, grace, might and power.

The Lord told me to tell you to feed the flame, the flame of the power of the Holy Ghost. I had never heard that statement before until God gave it to me. It isn’t enough to receive the flame; you have to feed it. It isn’t enough to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost; you have to feed what you receive because you’re the caretaker of the flame. This is the Holy Ghost dispensation; and thus saith the Lord, unless you have the baptism of the Holy Ghost, you will not be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:52).

All that will be done through you is done according to the power of the Holy Ghost that work-eth within you. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11).

He said He would give the Holy Ghost to them that obey Him. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him (Acts 5:32).

Some of you have let the devil cheat you out of the Holy Ghost. You won’t take courage; you won’t use faith, and you won’t obey the Lord enough to tarry until you receive the power from on High. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high (Luke 24:49). He’s coming after those who are obedient in all things.

The Pillar of Fire

The flame of the Holy Ghost is great indeed! It appeared in Egypt as the pillar of fire, and it lit up not one but two nations. The Lord was getting ready to take a nation out of a nation, and the pillar of fire was required. That pillar of fire, saith the Lord, is required today to get us ready to get out of here and to help us bring others in as well.

I never thought I’d ever see the pillar of fire, but I’ve seen it more than once. It will come into the services overseas where there are acres of people. It will come spinning in and move down close to me, and it’s always to my right. Then it unrolls and covers the whole sky, and there’s nothing but the fire of the Holy Ghost overhead. It appears over people who are bound with devils, and the Lord taught me how to deliver them. Through the power and flame of the Holy Ghost, I have the people cry out, The blood, the blood! As they say that in their minds, it drops down into their souls; and when it does, the devils come out. I watch the Holy Ghost capture those devils and take them away like defeated armies. Those demons can no longer talk to the people when the fire is overhead.

Angels will appear over the crowd with such glory that they look like they have great wings, but they don’t. It’s the glory of God. They’ll line up around the people to hold the devil and his demons back while the people are set free. Then there are miracles and deliverances in abundance, and it’s all done through the flame of the Spirit, the power of the Holy Ghost.

Even in services at my own church, Grace Cathedral, I’ll go into a vision and it’s just as if we’re surrounded by many mountains with the Holy Ghost flame coming up behind each mountain brighter than the sun. Along with this Holy Ghost fire comes the royal blue miracle power, and it fills up the place. Then the bright, shining glory of the Lord appears, and palm trees show up in the vision, their branches swaying with the breeze of the Holy Spirit. They are so real that the house of God looks like a grove of palm trees, and it symbolizes life, life, life.

The Revealing Fire

The pillar of fire first appeared to me in Haiti where our services drew the biggest crowds ever assembled in that country. The huge stadium was packed, and I was told that there were at least ten thousand more people standing outside. The pillar of fire rolled in over to my right; and as it spun around and around, the gifts of discerning and knowledge took over, and God began to tell the people their crimes to their faces. It was like judgment day, yet mercy was being offered.

It’s considered a bad omen for those involved in voodooism to give birth to twins, and often the people would kill them. Well, God revealed to me that there was a woman in the crowd who had had twins, both of whom she had murdered and buried in her back yard. He even told me how she had buried them and what she had covered them with. When the woman realized that she had been uncovered, she let out a bloodcurdling scream that scared the other people half to death. She didn’t think anybody knew about this; but God knows everything, and He had uncovered it.

The Lord also revealed a man who was about to commit suicide. He already had the gun and was getting ready to shoot himself when a bird got his attention. The Lord told me that He had sent that bird to distract him and give him a chance at a new life. The Lord brought him to that service, and I’m sure he gave his heart to God that night.

God lets me know many things; and during that same crusade, He also told me that my interpreter had a whore. He didn’t know that I knew about it; but when God began to uncover people, he got scared and left the platform claiming that he was having throat trouble. I’m sure he feared that I might turn around and uncover him. Other preachers who had also helped sponsor that crusade were just as sinful and began leaving as well. I don’t know if any of those ugly preachers ever got saved, but God had gone after them to let them know that He was definitely Lord God Almighty and that He’d make examples out of them. They must have been convinced because they all disappeared.

That great flame works wonders if you continue feeding it through obedience. We have to keep the pillar of fire spinning around and around and covering the skies over the multitudes that God brings together.

Moses at the Burning Bush

Moses fed the flame, but it took God forty years to prepare him. The flame of the Spirit first appeared to Moses as the burning bush that never was consumed. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt (Exodus 3:2,3).

Moses wasn’t used to hearing the voice of God; but when he got to the bush, he received his call through the power of the Holy Ghost. Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground (Exodus 3:4,5). God knew Moses by name, and He wants you to realize that He knows every one of His children by name. You didn’t choose Him; He chose you, and He’s drawing you. Don’t run after the world; instead run after God’s greatness in this last hour.

Keep Your Eyes on the Flame

Moses kept his eyes on the flame as he climbed the mountain, and we can’t let anything hinder us from keeping our eyes on the flame. Unless you have the Holy Ghost, saith the Lord, you’re not going to keep your eyes on the flame; your eyes must be on the flame, the power of the Holy Ghost.

Keep the vision of the Cross before you. The Lord told me that if you will keep your eyes on the flame, you will keep your eyes on the Crucifixion and how He suffered and died for you. He will give you vision of a lost, dying world and of the souls that the Lord has marked for you to win. He will draw them to you, but you must be as a flame of fire yourself. As you feed the flame, the Holy Spirit will manifest Himself through you in unbelievable ways, saith the Lord.

This great message is one of the final ones God is giving to prepare His people to be used by Him like they’ve never been used before. We must move like a mighty army. The Lord is marching before us, and the Holy Spirit is drawing us into the bosom of the Lord. We must feel His heartbeat as our hearts beat in rhythm with His.

It’s Almost Heaven Time

We’re in our final walk now with the Lord. It’s almost time to go home, and just think about all that must be going on as Heaven prepares for the Son of God to return for His Bride. What a day that’s going to be when Jesus walks through the mighty gate of Glory with the Bride and then continues on down the Avenue of Glory to the throne of God. I can hardly wait to hear the Father welcome His Son and the Bride, so pure, clean and holy. What a sacred moment it will be when we see God’s face for the first time and bow on our knees crying, Holy, holy, holy!

Be Ye Holy

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Without holiness, no one can see the face of God; but those who are holy will be able to look upon His face just as Adam and Eve did. Do you realize that they could look into the face of God when the Lord created them? When Adam opened his eyes, he looked right into the eyes of God with no condemnation, iniquity or sin. The Bride of Christ is going to look right into the face of God, too, without any condemnation or fear; and she’ll cry, We’re home; thank God!

Feel the moving of the Spirit and His changing power within you and realize that it is the same power of Jesus that will resurrect the saints who have already gone on before. Paul said, That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection (Philippians 3:10). This power comes on me so strong at times that I know if the Lord would just send a little more I’d go straight to Heaven.

The Bride’s Hour Is Here

This is the Bride’s great hour of visitation. She is being visited by the Groom to prepare her to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. She’s getting ready to welcome back the King with the same Holy Ghost power that John the Baptist had, and he was the forerunner of the first appearance of Christ. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight (Matthew 3:3).

The Bride is the forerunner of the second appearance of Christ, and her voice in the wilderness is now being heard all over the world. Many voices make up that one great voice, but the Spirit of God must be in each one so that it will have the anointing of the power of the Holy Ghost.

John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost from the moment he was born. Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord (Luke 1:13-17).

John the Baptist never knew or wanted to commit any sin, and he didn’t want to baptize sinners. He was the one who baptized Christ, and there could be no greater honor than that! He was holy; and in his presence, Jesus also received the Holy Ghost. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him (Mark 1:9,10).

You Must Receive the Holy Ghost

Jesus is our example, and those who won’t receive the Holy Ghost—even preachers, priests and teachers—are going to be left. They’ll go into the Tribulation Period, thus saith the Lord. If you don’t have the Holy Ghost, you must seek Him until you get Him. There’s a reason why you don’t have Him, and the problem lies in you because the Lord said He would give the Holy Ghost to all those who would obey Him. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him (Acts 5:32).

The fire of the Holy Ghost is powerful, yet it won’t burn us up. God is God, and the burning bush burns for us. We’ll be God’s reflectors, and people will see His glory. Jesus said, Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid (Matthew 5:14).

The light now shines in my services, and it will shine on a person about to die with AIDS, and the AIDS disappears. It’s amazing to watch God at work, to see that light coming upon people and setting them free. It all comes about through the knowledge and greatness of God and the power of the Holy Ghost that works within us.

The Bride’s Song

I’m a Holy Ghost preacher, and I thank God for the Holy Ghost! He leads me, guides me, speaks and even sings through me in many tongues, languages and dialects. I don’t know how many of them I have heard in Africa that the Lord had already sung through me years ago. Sometimes He sings through me in English; but for many years, one rather long song was always in another language. One day, after I had finished a mighty crusade during which about three thousand received the Holy Ghost, I was in my room on our tour bus; and the Holy Ghost began to sing that song in English. I was startled and shocked as I listened to it and realized that it was the song for the Bride, and it was so beautiful. It was a song for all the nations. We can hear the voice of God in different ways, and one of the greatest ways is through the prophets of old in the Bible. They wrote as they were moved upon by the Holy Ghost. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Peter 1:21). The Holy Ghost is going to move upon us in this final hour, too.

The Mighty Holy Ghost Power

The Lord is going to be doing great things today, too, saith the Lord; get ready for it! Remember that the things God has done in the past, He’ll do again through the power of the Holy Ghost, the power of His might. We should rejoice over all the great, end-time signs, both good and bad, and we can’t let them get us down. Our nation is decaying fast from the inside just like the Roman kingdom did because so many people don’t want the true and living God. Many claim to believe in Jesus, but they have made their own Jesus. They’ve made Him to be what they want Him to be, and that Jesus is not the real Son of God. Neither is their god the real God on the throne with all power.

The Anointing Makes the Difference

God wants us to live holy, and we must do so in order to have the anointing of God. Everything that God anoints counts for something; and when you work through the anointing of God, that anointing goes on everything you touch. Every tract, magazine, book and blest cloth that we as children of God send out goes forth with the anointing of the nine gifts and the nine fruits of the Spirit; that’s why so much is happening throughout the world. The mail that comes into my ministry tells of the greatness that’s taking place and of the miracles brought about by the blest cloth. And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them (Acts 19:11,12).

The Holy Ghost Falls All over the World

In a 1954 visitation, the Lord told me about the Ernest Angley Ministries magazine, The Power of the Holy Ghost. He named it, and He told me that in the last hour it would be one of His mighty outreach arms; and it’s circling the globe today. People are being saved, healed, delivered and baptized in the Holy Ghost as they read it; and others are even receiving the Holy Ghost as they watch me on television. In the beginning, I never realized what a big part television would play in getting the Gospel to the world.

One man who attended my services on a regular basis had never been slain in the Spirit. He saw others being slain in the Spirit, and he wanted to have that experience; but he didn’t understand why he had never been slain. One day, he was standing in his living room when I came on the air, and the power of God knocked him down.

A doctor told me a similar story: I sent a blest cloth to a patient that he knew. She was standing in her kitchen; and as she opened the letter containing the blest cloth, down she went in the Spirit right on her kitchen floor. These kinds of things are happening all over the world. God is moving, and untold millions will receive the Holy Ghost, saith the Lord, in this final hour!

It’s a Testing Time

Let’s return to Moses and the burning bush…the fire was no longer just on the outside. When Moses went down that mountain, he carried the fire of the burning bush, saith the Lord, in his bosom and in his spirit; and he fed it with perfect obedience and with words that came from the Lord.

When you stand for God, you’re going to be tested and tried; and when Moses told Pharaoh what God had said, he was tested. The magicians mimicked what Moses did, but they weren’t able to do all that God was going to do. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods (Exodus 7:10-12).

God’s Healings Are Real

The Lord has let me know that now is our testing time. Preachers who have faked the miracles of God are coming to the place that they won’t be able to do it any longer, saith the Lord. South Africa has passed a law that doesn’t allow you to advertise the healing of AIDS through your ministry unless you have documented cases. We do have such cases, and we’re going to get more and more. The Lord is saying, Prove me now and give me a chance; and He is proving His greatness.

A woman in Guyana was healed of AIDS, but the country’s Minister of Health didn’t believe it; and he tried to make people think that I was a fake. This woman had been healed for seven years through this ministry, and his comments made her so angry that she headed for her doctor to get her healing documented. Her doctor couldn’t explain it; but he did know that she at one time had AIDS, and now she no longer had it. The same day that the Minister of Health made his remarks, the woman came skipping onto my platform during that evening’s service, waving the document from her doctor. There were thousands there that night, and their faith went sky-high as she testified that there were many more healed of AIDS. There stood that lady healthy and well; the God of miracles lives!

Many are counterfeiting the miracles of God today and living like the devil, and the Lord is going to uncover them. God is going to show His greatness, and He’s going to reveal to people what the real thing is if they’re honest-hearted. Those who turn away from the miracles will blaspheme against the Holy Ghost. They will be the same as dead and will not grieve the Spirit of God any longer. It will be the same as if they are already in hell and in the lake of fire, saith the Lord; and that includes preachers who have turned away from the power of God.

Now it is just like it was in the beginning of the Church when many turned away and sinned against the Holy Ghost. As the years passed, the Church almost went into total darkness; but the candle still flickered, meaning that God still had a few people to work with.

This Is the Latter Rain

Now this is the final hour, and the Lord said the latter rain would be greater than the early rain. 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 in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (Joel 2:23-25).

We’re experiencing the latter rain now, and I’ve seen the downpour of the Spirit falling just like the physical rain. It doesn’t rain in drops, it pours straight down from heaven like a string or a rope; and when it falls on the people, they have no trouble receiving miracles, healings and deliverances. Thousands are always set free when the Spirit rains down.

Feed the flame, Moses! Once that flame was burning inside of him, he fed it with truth. The devil kept acting up through Pharaoh, but it didn’t matter. Moses continued to lift up the rod of truth, and miracles took place. And the LORD said unto Moses…lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left (Exodus 14:15,16,21,22).

Joshua was by Moses’ side when the waters separated and God came down. The Holy Ghost was in action as the pillar of fire appeared and spun around between God’s people and the magnificent army of Pharaoh. We’re lifting up that same rod of truth today, and the Lord’s doing marvelous things; it’s thus saith the Lord!

God Will Cut People Off

Some people don’t want to hear you say thus saith the Lord, and one day they won’t hear the voice of God anymore because He’s going to cut them off and never remember them again. He showed me in a vision just how He would do it, and I’ll never get over it. The Lord showed me people in the lake of fire, and He closed them in with a thick, iron door. Oh, my God, it was a terrible sight! Then, the Lord said, I’ll never remember them again.

We’ll never remember our loved ones, either, if they don’t make it to Heaven. That iron door will close on them, and we’ll never think about them ever again.

The Antichrist is manifesting himself all over the world in this last hour, but the Bible tells us that the Lord won’t come until there is first a falling away. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (II Thessalonians 2:3). Just like this scripture says, the Antichrist is now revealing and manifesting himself in hideous ways.

People are in danger all over the world; and unless you have God, you’re not safe anywhere—not at home, in school or at work. Your only protection is Lord God Almighty.

Just like in the days of Moses, plagues are raining down one after another to warn people before it’s too late. The true children of God are going to be taken out, and those left behind will go into the Tribulation Period; the world has never witnessed anything like it. The whole earth will be turned over to the devil, and where will you be?

No Defeat in Christ

Those who have the burning bush and the pillar of fire have an obedient heart and are connected with Heaven. There’s no defeat in Christ Jesus. We’re walking with the King, and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). When you’re in the divine will of God, you won’t die until God’s appointed time no matter how much the devil wants to kill you; he doesn’t have the power to do it.

The Lord lets you know that the devil is a bluffer. When God gets ready to put the devil into the bottomless pit, He’ll do it with just one angel and a chain of blood. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season (Revelation 20:1-3).

God will send only one angel after the devil, and He may send one of His smallest angels to insult Lucifer even more.

Use this scripture, and you can put the devil to flight now. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). But some of you let him worry you to death. Don’t you know the Lord can do anything?

Live by Faith

I had faith because Mama taught faith to me. She lived close to the Lord, and when she would pray for me, I knew I had to get well because God always heard Mama. I had perfect attendance at school nearly every year because the Lord always healed me.

Mama’s faith and prayers made Heaven real in our home. Whether you were living right or not, you knew there was a Heaven above and a hell below. Mom and Dad didn’t give us any half-truths; they let us know we’d go to hell if we died in our sins and that Jesus was our only hope. The Bible says, The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4).

Thank God I’m free and on my way to Heaven today, and it’s because I was taught the truth. Jesus said, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

Stand Still and See the Power

The burning bush brought Moses to the pillar of fire, and that’s what it was going to take to bring the Israelites out. And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people (Exodus 13:21,22).

We found our burning bush at Pentecost, and it was a tongue of fire. Moses got the tongue of fire at the burning bush; and he not only took it with him into Egypt to use, but it took him over for the rest of his life.

As the Israelites stood at the Red Sea, Pharaoh was coming after them with his great army to destroy them. But Moses told the people to stand still and see the hand of the Lord. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace (Exodus 14:13,14).

You too need to stand still and wait on God, but you will have to have a lot of God not to run from all the fear and trouble that will come your way. If you face death, you will have to stand as tall as Jesus. You must first come into the unity of the faith, and then it will take the fullness of the Spirit to keep you there. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). The Holy Spirit uses the blood to bring you into the unity of the faith.

The Power of God

When the Lord told Moses to feed the flame, he did it with God’s love and truth. Moses had been sent on a love mission; and he knew the truth—that Pharaoh and his magnificent army would be defeated! He had heard the voice of God!

Moses had divine joy, and it gave him strength. He was raised in Pharaoh’s house and was close to him. But that Pharaoh had died, and the one who took his place hated Moses. He was jealous of him and wanted to kill him, but instead he lost everything. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them (Exodus 14:24-28). There is no power greater than the power of God.

Let the Spirit Lead You

The Holy Spirit has work for all of us to do, and He must be able to use you as His very hands at any moment. The Lord told me that He has marked certain souls for each one to win, but you must be full of God and have the burning bush in order to accomplish that because you never know when that soul will cross your path. You may not have but a few minutes to bring that person to God; but thus saith the Lord, He’ll bring that person to you. Therefore, you must be connected with the Spirit at all times.

Some people don’t know how to win others for the Lord, and they don’t know how to properly approach them. You have to have tact to make the right contact, and it only comes through the wisdom and knowledge of God. Many times the Holy Ghost uses just one phrase to bring about conviction; but some people just keep on talking, feeling that they need to quote every scripture they know. The Holy Spirit knows when it’s time for you to stop talking; but if you don’t listen, you’ll lose that soul.

Again I say, feed the flame as Moses did. Feed it with the peace and wisdom of God, and it will multiply. The Early Church fed it, and oh, how it multiplied during that early rain; and it’s going to multiply even more during this latter rain. As we feed the flame, it will spread throughout the world like fire in a field; so we have to move fast. This journey is short, and our time is limited. Every minute is critical; and you can’t afford to fail God for even one moment in your prayer life, your fasting life or your Bible study. Those three things are essential!

The Prophets Had the Flame

You have to yield to the Holy Ghost. You are His temple, and He lives inside of you. You have to be ready, saith the Lord, for Him to use you anywhere or any time. Jeremiah said it was like fire shut up in his bones. His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay (Jeremiah 20:9).

Isaiah the prophet told us that an angel took a coal of that flame from the altar of God and touched his lips. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me (Isaiah 6:6-8).

Isaiah didn’t want to go to the house of Israel because they were rebellious, and they wouldn’t listen. But when he got the coal of fire, he also received the flame, the tongue of fire; and he said, Here am I; send me.

The Power of the Holy Ghost

In this last hour, it’s going to take the power of the Holy Ghost to get the work done. The Lord spoke to me concerning my services and said, My angel goes in before you and anoints all the seats. When you come into one of my services, your seat is anointed with the power of the Holy Ghost. That’s why so many people come to God and are made whole; it’s the anointing. I know that when I walk onto the platform, the anointing will be there.

When we feed the flame, it rubs off on others. When Moses fed the flame, it rubbed off on Joshua; and when he took Moses’ place, he marched around the walls of Jericho with the flame of the Holy Ghost. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city (Joshua 6:15,16,20).

As Joshua fed the flame, it also fed the people faith with divine love and courage. It gave them overcoming strength to shut their mouths until the Lord told them to shout. Then, the walls of Jericho tumbled down through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The Flame of the Truth

We have the nine graces of the Holy Ghost with which to feed the flame: longsuffering, patience, goodness, gentleness, joy, faith, peace, meekness and love. As we feed that flame, we must also serve it; and it will multiply.

There isn’t anything like the flame of truth. It brought the Israelites out of Egypt and through the Red Sea, yet today, people still deny this happened. But the Bible says it did; and it also says, Let God be true, but every man a liar (Romans 3:4). When people dispute the Word, I say they’re liars. In my mind, if God said it, I believe it; and that settles it! I live in the truth, walk in the truth, and I love the truth; it’s my daily bread.

John the Baptist had the Holy Ghost or he couldn’t have been Christ’s predecessor. Just the front-runners are going to be ready for the second appearance, saith the Lord, those who are thrilled, filled and feeding the flame. We will shine that flame all over the world, and people will find warmth. It’s a flame of love, grace, wisdom, knowledge, peace, goodness, kindness and tenderness. That flame of the Holy Ghost has a forgiving spirit, and He’s drawing everyone that He can to the flame.

The Upper Room Flame

Those in the Upper Room saw the Holy Ghost in the form of cloven tongues of fire. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them (Acts 2:3). One hundred and twenty had climbed the mount to the Upper Room, but they didn’t know what to expect until the fire of the Holy Ghost fell, the fire of the burning bush. I took a group there one time, and as many as one hundred and thirty-five received the Holy Ghost.

After the apostles had the flame, they went forth; and the Bible tells us that the Word increased, multiplied and prevailed. And the word of God increased (Acts 6:7). The word of God grew and multiplied (Acts 12:24). So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed (Acts 19:20). Nothing can stand before the Word, so you need to keep the truth in your heart. Put down the battles of the mind and spend time in the presence of God. Live in and memorize the six things that the Lord said to think on in Philippians. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8).

The first one is truth; and when you think on it, you can get rid of battles of the mind. If they don’t all go, then think about all of the other five things; and by the time you have finished, you should be free of the battle because you’ve replaced it with a good thought. You’re feeding the flame, saith the Lord; and the flame is driving forth the powers of the devil. Oh, what power you have from the Holy Ghost; it’s the very mantle of Jesus.

Use the Blood

The blood is in that flame of the Holy Ghost, and we must use it. We have to fast through the blood and pray through the blood. Then we can say, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always (John 11:41,42). Those who are filled with the Spirit, chosen of God and on fire for Him, ought to be able to say that every day.

Feed the flame with divine love, divine grace and divine faith; and miracles will take place all around you. The apostles fed the flame with truth, and the laypeople went everywhere carrying the story of Jesus. Persecutions didn’t matter; they just caused them to feed the flame more. Their message was, Jesus Christ was crucified, and He’s coming again.

This is our hour of greatness and our hour of visitation, and the Lord told me to tell you to feed the flame. He has given you His divine fruit that should be produced in your heart and in your life, so you have plenty with which to feed the flame. Have the joy of the Lord, not the joy of this world. Depend on Heaven’s joy and not that of other people. I get my joy from Heaven, and anything else I get is a bonus. If it only comes in tiny packages, I don’t let it discourage me because I’m going to Heaven.

The Early Church had the flame, the tongue of fire; and they carried it everywhere they went. We must be ready to carry the flame all over the world and let nothing stop us. The Lord said, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14). That’s the message of the flame of the Holy Ghost; and, Lord, we’ll take it all over the world! We’ll take this flame of love, grace, power and understanding; and we’ll use it.

Come to Jesus

Oh, Sinner, Backslider, you must carry the flame of the Holy Ghost, but you can’t have it until you have Jesus. Isn’t it time for you to get saved? Pray this prayer now and mean it from your heart. Oh, God, save my soul. I’m so sorry I sinned against you, but I have come home; and I’m going to serve you, Lord, for the rest of my life. Please, God, I don’t want to be left; I don’t want to go into the Tribulation Period. I know it’s Bible; I know it will happen. I know Jesus will come, and I don’t want to be left. Take me out of this sinful condition, take me out of anything that is unlike you, Lord. Forgive me and come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in, Jesus!

If you meant that prayer, now you can say: Hallelujah! He has come. Hallelujah! Jesus is mine. Hallelujah! My sins are all gone. Now you can ask the Lord for the Holy Ghost baptism, the flame and the tongue of fire.

The Lord has gifted me to call the Holy Spirit down upon people. In my overseas crusades, untold thousands have received the Holy Ghost in moments of time. God has given me this gift to call the Spirit upon people just like He gave it to the apostles in Bible days, and the Lord is once again pouring out His Spirit. Lord, I call the Holy Ghost upon the people today. In the name of Jesus receive ye the Holy Ghost, the flame of fire!

Now, just start praising God. Praise Him with your whole heart, and the Holy Ghost will come in if you’ll let Him; and He will dwell with you forever.

You Can Be Healed

You who are sick and afflicted, get ready for your miracle. Untold thousands have been healed of AIDS, and these miracles are opening many doors for this Jesus ministry all over the world. The doctors are amazed, and they don’t know how to explain it. Some will make their patients come back again and again so they can keep checking them to make sure it doesn’t come back. But it won’t return because miracles are the work of the Lord.

Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you. I bring those with death diseases, leprosy, cancer, diabetes, heart trouble, lung trouble, TB, paralysis and those with AIDS or HIV. Heal! in the blood-name of Jesus. Heal! and be thou made well. In the blood-name I command a good appetite to come to you and for you to eat and get well.

The presence of the Lord has gone into you if you believed and accepted that prayer. But remember to give the Lord all the honor, the praise and the glory; and you must live for Him.

This is our final hour of greatness! Glory to God, we’re on the ark, and we’ll soon be sailing right through the sky; and the living waters of life will sweep us right on up to the throne of God. The Bible says that rivers of life will flow. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38). It’s all through the flame of the power of God, the flame of the Holy Ghost.
