Mighty Rivers of God’s Love Flowed in Soweto, South Africa
by Ernest Angley
August 1999
On a mission to win thousands of souls for Christ, we arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa, for the first of four crusade services. I love the African people and have carried a burden for them many years. I am called to the African nations. My desire is to reach and preach in every African nation, and the doors are opening more and more for that opportunity.
We knew that when people heard of the miracles they would come—when they heard that the blind received their sight, that people were healed of AIDS and other diseases—and come they did. The way the Lord moved in the services was absolutely incredible. No words can adequately decribe the works and manifestations of God that we witnessed and experienced in the services. God gave me vision after vision, showing me what He was doing and what to expect. It brought to living reality the verse in Habakkuk 1:5, Regard and wonder marvelously; for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
We are indeed in the great latter rain of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that was prophesied so many years ago. The miraculous signs and wonders we witnessed in South Africa let us know beyond a doubt that the coming of the Lord is very nigh at hand.
Soweto
I told the people in the first service Thursday evening in Soweto that love had brought me there. “You are precious to me,” I said. “I have come to you with a heart of love. You who are unsaved, you who are doing the works of the devil: I can’t love your sin, but I love your souls. Jesus went all the way to Calvary so you wouldn’t have to go to hell. He sent me to tell you that He loves you, that no one has ever loved you like He loves you. He let me know you have been hurt much; many of you are still hurting, and nothing but His love can heal you. He loves you; He cares. He has seen your sufferings down through the years; He has seen your bondages. This is your great hour of visitation. You can be healed completely inside and out. You can yield all that hurt to the Lord. No matter how many enemies you may feel you have, turn them over to the Lord; bask in His love, and go forth to serve love. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (Romans 12:19). Feel His love; it will heal the hurt.
“Again and again the Lord comforted me with His love when I lost my precious wife, Angel, when I didn’t know how I could live without her. Some of you need that great love to comfort you. You know pain, suffering. Let Him put His arms around you, hold you close; feel His love as I felt it. Many of you will never be the same after this crusade. You will find yourselves living in His love.”
Hearts Were Prepared through Song
I brought them Jesus in all His glorious saving and healing power, and the songs of the trio helped prepare hearts to accept what the Lord was about to do. As the last song ended, the gift of discerning went into action. God revealed diseases and afflictions of people and healed them. With each revelation the crowd cheered wildly.
“The lady right in through here: You have been afflicted over four years with breast cancer. One breast has been removed. You have been told the other one will have to be removed. Not so. You are healed, saith the Lord.
“The man who fell from a tree over nine years ago: You broke your back, didn’t you. It’s never been the same. You have suffered these years, and you can do just a limited amount of labor in a day. You have now received a miracle of re–creation. You will never be the same. You are restored, saith the Lord. It is yours. It is yours.
“A lady over here: You have had three miscarriages. The next pregnancy will bring forth a baby boy. That’s thus saith the Lord.
“The person who has had heart surgery: It was not a success: You are closer to death than you realize. You have just three more months to live without this miracle, saith the Lord. Man did his best, but it wasn’t enough. The Lord has now given you a new heart, and you will live.
“The person who has had migraine headaches for more than twenty years. You have suffered just death again and again. You have had to shut yourself away days at a time in darkness to try to find a little relief. You will never have another migraine, saith the Lord. You are healed. You are healed.
“There is a man over here: You have a niece who has AIDS. She has been nigh unto death. The Lord has sent an angel that is standing by her bedside right now, and the angel of the Lord has just reached out and laid a hand of healing on the child. The child is healed, saith the Lord.
“The person over here: You have a tumor. It’s the size of an orange. You’ve noticed your stomach seemed to be bloated. You don’t know what is causing this, do you. It is malignant, but you’re healed, saith the Lord. You are healed. You are healed. Watch your stool, and you will see the results as it passes from you, saith the Lord. Watch your stool each time you go to the bathroom. It will pass through your bowels, saith the Lord. That will really help your faith.
“He is here. I am in the vision. I am seeing the greatness of God in the vision. This place is covered over with the power of God. Awhile ago I saw angels in the air surrounding us just like you see people. I saw Jesus appear, many, many feet tall. The Lord takes me from one vision to another. He takes me inside people’s bodies, and I actually see the miracle taking place. My soul is a witness—I am just a witness. The Lord is the healer, and He must have all the honor, all the praise and all the glory. We honor you, Jesus. We honor you.”
A Message from the Holy Spirit
Yea, saith the Lord: I am here. I am here to stretch forth my hand against all the powers of darkness. I am here to send my greatness upon this people. I have sent my holy servant unto you. I let him know many years ago that one day he would come to you. He has carried great love for you all these years, but he waited until I told him it was time. Thus saith the Lord, this is your hour of visitation, this is your hour of revelation. I am here, saith the Lord. I am here to show you my great love for you. I love you with an everlasting love, and I want to hug you to my bosom, my bosom of love. I want to take away all the hurt. I want to take all the sicknesses and diseases away. I want to give you life eternal. I want my life eternal to be yours. I want you to see my power in such a mighty way that you will go from each of my services saying “I’ll never walk alone because Jesus walks with me. Jesus walks with me.”
I am here, saith the Lord. I am manifesting myself to my servant in signs and wonders above you.
More People Healed of AIDS
“Now you are in the miracle cloud,” I said. “Lift your hands up and feel Him now. He has come down in a miracle cloud, and my eyes behold His glory. Miracles and healings are taking place. Thirteen people have just been healed of AIDS, saith the Lord. Over here is one of them, right in through here. It is a man. You are thirty–three years of age. You’re healed.
“The person right in through here: You’re a mother of ten children. Seven of them have AIDS. You’re healed, and your children are being healed, saith theLord.
“There is a man over here: You’re seventy–four years of age. You have had AIDS for three years, two months, one week and two days, saith the Lord. You are healed! You are healed!
“There is a mother with two children with AIDS: Your husband died with AIDS, didn’t he. Bless your heart. But your children are now healed. Your children are healed. No more AIDS.
“This is a family of six children: Four are still living. The parents are dead; they died with AIDS. The children are being reared by a grandmother. They are now healed, Grandmother. They are healed; they are cured. They are cured, saith the Lord.
“There is a person over here, it is a man: Your wife died with AIDS, didn’t she. Your baby died with AIDS, and you have AIDS. When you married your wife she had three children, didn’t she. They died with AIDS. You are healed now, saith the Lord. You are healed.
“The glory of the Lord is in the vision. The healing power is coming down. The Lord is manifesting Himself in so many ways. The glory of the Lord has this place surrounded, and I’m looking at it. It’s bringing life to this people, and it’s drawing on people miles from here tonight. They’re feeling the drawing, and they don’t realize—some of them don’t realize—what it is, saith the Lord. But I am drawing them out of darkness into light. I’m bringing them to my light; I’m bringing them to my light.
“The person over here: You have an aunt who reared you, didn’t she. She’s the only real mother you have ever known. She is dying with AIDS. Her husband died with AIDS. You have really cried and asked God to let you keep her. She has been so much of your life, hasn’t she. She’s the only person who has ever given you real, true love, and you feel as though the earth is about ready to cave in under your feet. Isn’t that right? The Lord has heard your prayers. Your aunt is healed and she will live, saith the Lord.
“There is a person who has mocked God: You have mocked His presence. There is mockery in you tonight. You didn’t come for any good. One step more into the night and, thus saith the Lord, you will blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, and you will never have another chance to find God, saith the Lord. You better open your eyes to what God is doing. God knows your name in full, and He knows where you plan to sleep tonight. You may never see another sunrise if you don’t yield that ugly, devilish spirit to God.”
It’s terrible to look inside the soul of a person who is devil possessed and to actually see the devils that bind that one. I almost died with compassion when God first gave me the gift of discerning of spirits. To look into a soul and see those devils looking right back at me was horrible. I thought, Oh my God! For anything like that to be inside a human being! The Lord taught me how to cast them out, and gave me power to do it. He numbers the devils that bind a person; He knows exactly how many, and He will tell me exactly how many are in a person. This is no guess work; it’s thus saith the Lord, and I stake my life on it.
Witchcraft Revealed
“There is a person over here: God revealed this to me while the trio was singing. You are in witchcraft. Don’t deny it; I saw that devil. You’ve covered up and played the hypocrite. You go to church and shout, and you’re in witchcraft. You have mocked God and mocked God, and He has had enough. This witchcraft devil that you’re carrying around appeared like a monster, and I saw it. I see the miracle power around where you are now, and God is giving you a chance. Thus saith the Lord: You will come out of witchcraft this night, or your soul will be damned forever. He allowed you just this one service, and He’s not going to allow you to be in these services devil–possessed like you are. God is going to push you out of His way if you don’t yield to Him. The sun is going down on your life to never rise again unless you come out of witchcraft.
“And there are more here who are in witchcraft. Don’t think God doesn’t know it. You must come out of it, saith the Lord. I’m not here to cast a reflection on these dear preachers: I love them, but three of them are in witchcraft. I won’t point them out. Some of their members already know it. They will come out of witchcraft or you better leave that church and get with one of these preachers who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and is living holy. It’s time to move toward God.
“The person over here, that man: You just got your deliverance. There has been witchcraft in your family for many, many years, but you have had a longing to find a better way, and you’ve found it tonight. You made up your mind awhile ago that you were leaving it all behind.
“There’s a person over here: You’re young, and your parents are in witchcraft, aren’t they. They have taught you witchcraft, but there has been a longing in your heart to find peace. God sent you tonight, and you will find it right now.
“The person over here: You’ve been in witchcraft all your life. You delight in putting curses on people. God has news for you—you can’t put one curse on one of His children. No witchcraft, no brew of the devil can harm a child of God who has the blood of Jesus. You’re not going to repent, are you. God gave you a chance tonight. His curse is going to be upon you. His curse is now upon you, saith the Lord. He gave you your chance and you slammed the door in His face as it were.
“I’m in one vision after another. The Lord actually talks to me. An angel stands by my side, and I hear what is being said. God will even give me your thoughts. God reveals people’s lives to the servant of God; I don’t always tell all I know. I am not here to embarrass you; I love you.”
The Devil Sent Out a Spray
The first service ended in all–out–victory for the Lord, but I knew we were headed for an encounter with the enemy, and I knew we were sent of God. The ninety people on tour with me would have to stand in their place like Gideon’s army if they were to help win the battle.
The first service had been a glorious time. Everyone in the group thought things had gone smoothly. They didn’t know the devil was setting them up for a fall. The first night, the devil backed off. I sought the Lord. God, something is wrong. I can’t put my finger on it, but there is something wrong. Later the Lord told me that the devil was putting out a spray. It was tiny, like lice. The naked eye could not see it, only the spiritual eye. This is how strong the devil was in the land. The Lord said the devil was spraying the people with the spirit of carelessness. I had never heard of such a thing. The spray would land and stick on anyone who had one leech. If they didn’t have their whole heart in the service, some of that spray would stick and affect them.
A Visit to the Devil’s Camp
For the first time the devil came to me and gave the sign of victory. He was mocking me, trying to tell me that we hadn’t won, that we only thought we had a great victory the night before. That’s when the Lord stepped in and let me know the devil was planning a takeover, scheming to destroy the service. I was shocked. The Lord took me into the plan of the devil, to the devil’s camp. Never before in all my ministry had such a thing happened. I actually went to the camp of the devil. I witnessed the devils in action, getting ready for us. You have never seen the kind of dancing I saw in the devil’s camp, uninhibited, grotesque. It was a nightmarish display—beyond what one could ever imagine. The devils were dressed in black, hooded; their bodies whirled and twisted in all directions with vulgar, nasty, hellish movements.
God kept telling me that we were going to the gates of hell that night. He had never told me anything like that before. What did it all mean?
I was full of tears. Oh God, we couldn’t let the devil defeat the crusade; we couldn’t let those people be defeated! God told me to go on the buses of the tour group before they left for the half–hour trip to the service that night. Tell them to not speak a word on the way to the crusade grounds, but to think on the blood. That’s how critical the situation was.
I didn’t speak a word on the way to the grounds, either; and when I arrived, the demons in their black hoods were lined up for the “takeover.” But a presence was there greater than all those demons: a great angel, huge, standing at the back of the crowd. I could see his face; his expression was one that dared the devils to make a move. The heavens opened, the power of God came down.
I hit the platform crying, Blood, blood, blood, blood, the blood of Jesus! The crowd shouted it with me: Blood! Blood! Blood! The blood of Jesus! As people in witchcraft began to say the word blood, the Holy Spirit was able to draw them more and more into the power of the blood until they were delivered and ready to receive salvation. I had never before witnessed anything like it. The devils were fleeing. I learned when people say the blood of Jesus, the devils have to go. God’s love reached out and took hold of the people. It was beyond anything we had ever witnessed. The Lord gave me a revelation: As the trio sang the next song, one hundred seventy–five people would definitely be cured of AIDS, saith the Lord. The Lord spoke it, and God never lies. The angel of the Lord standing by my side gave the number as one human would give it to another. The Lord had His eye upon those one hundred seventy–five.
First Receive Salvation
“Get ready for this great outpouring of miracles for AIDS,” I told the crowd. “Thousands have been cured of AIDS. Being healed of AIDS is as easy as being healed of a simple headache, but you must live for God if you intend to keep that miracle. God is not going to heal you for you to go out and serve the devil. Jesus healed and said, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (John 5:14). The Lord heals for His honor and glory. I give Him all the glory, all of it.
“No matter your sins, how terrible, how cruel they may have been, you can be forgiven. The great apostle Paul said, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (I Timothy 1:15). You don’t want to go to the eternal burning hell. The devil has covered it up for most people. If you don’t have Jesus in your heart, won’t you say the sinners’ prayer?”
The Outpouring of Miracles Began
Miracles were already beginning as people said the sinners’ prayer. They had lifted their hearts to the Lord.
“The man over there: You have had AIDS for four years, one month, two weeks and one day. The Lord is telling you this so you will know He knows all about you. You were a backslider, were you not, until a while ago. You sinned against God. You cheated someone out of some money. You did it in a very dishonest way. You have to make it right, saith the Lord, or you won’t keep your healing. But if you keep that promise to God that you will pay it, you will keep your miracle.
“The person over there: The Lord counted you in this number. You were backslidden for more than seventeen years. You used to live pure and clean, but you met a vile, vile person. You stooped to that person’s level, destroyed the image of God in your life. You have fought against God. Tonight for the first time in all those years, you really said a prayer from your heart to God. Keep your covenant with God and you will have good health, saith the Lord.
“A person over there: You have been married many times. You’re living in sin right now. You did say the sinners’ prayer. God had mercy on you, counted you in this number; but you are not to sleep with that person ever again, and you’re certainly not eligible to remarry. So now you can decide if you want to die with AIDS or walk with God and stay out of sin. You brought it all on yourself, saith the Lord. You brought the AIDS to your life. You did it to yourself, and yet the Lord loves you so much. No one has ever loved you like Jesus. Serve the Lord. Serve the Lord. Serve the Lord.
“There is a person: You were counted in that one hundred seventy–five number. You stole from a person, and I can tell you exactly what you stole. You stole their automobile, didn’t you, saith the Lord. You stole their car. You’re going to have to make it right: Face that person (they don’t know you’re the one who did it). Time has passed by, but God hasn’t forgotten about it. Do you want to live or die? If you don’t make it right, you won’t keep your miracle, saith the Lord. You go and sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you. You will die just as surely as you are under the sound of this servant’s voice, saith the Lord, if yo don’t do the right thing.
“There have been one hundred seventy–five who have received their miracle, but now there are more with AIDS being healed. There is a lady over there who just was healed while I was talking. The power of God started at the top of your head. You felt that presence. You are healed.
“There is a man back there: You are seventy–one years of age, and you have AIDS. You have just a matter of a few days to live without this miracle. You had a godly mother. She taught you to fear God, but you blamed God when she died. You’ve lived with bitterness all these years. You’ve resented God. God isn’t to blame. Sin is to blame for all sorrow, all sorrow. That’s the last enemy the Lord is going to destroy: death. The Lord tells us that death is our enemy, but Jesus came and made it possible that although we die, yet we live. Now the light is shining upon you, the light of His love. Your heart is beginning to feel tender for the first time in many, many years. The bitterness is going out of you, and Jesus is coming into you and the power of God is sweeping through you. No more AIDS—and you thought He didn’t love you! Oh how He loves! How He loves! And He wants to be loved back. He wants you to love Him. The Lord longs to hold you close until your heart beats as one with His.”
One Angel, One Chain
The sermon that night was “One Angel, One Chain.” It will take only one angel with one chain, a chain of blood, to bind the devil for one thousand years. “You who have worshipped devils for years, I have brought the real power, power that makes the devil weak: one angel, one chain. Come out of the pits of darkness; leave the devil behind. It’s time to let the blood heal you, make you new.”
More Bondages Broken in the Third Service
Saturday night, bondages were being broken by the miracle power of God. The Lord was moving for the people. Thus saith the Lord: Lift your hands and feel my presence. Lift your hands. Let me make myself real to you. I am here. This is your hour of visitation. This is your hour of revelation, saith the Lord. I am anointing you with miracle power, with a miracle anointing, and you will use this anointing on tomorrow, on tomorrow. Feel me now, saith the Lord. Feel my love for you. Feel my grace for you. Take on the reality of my promises for you. Let my promises be real to you now.
“Tonight,” I told the crowd, “you are going to see the greatness of God in an unbelievable way, not because I am here, but because Jesus is here. I want you to see Jesus, not me, when I preach His Gospel. I want you to see Jesus when the sick are being healed and the miracles are taking place. Think about Jesus, love him with all your heart. He wants to perform miracles, miracles for you.”
The sermon on the power of the Holy Ghost prepared people to receive from God. First they must receive salvation, and then go on to receive the Holy Ghost baptism if they truly were to have the greatness of God working in their lives. I told them there are many evidences of the Holy Spirit, but the first evidence that He has come in is speaking in tongues. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:4). Never think that speaking in tongues at will is the real baptism of the Holy Ghost. It is simply the person speaking and not the Holy Ghost. You can’t operate the Holy Ghost; He must operate you. The Holy Ghost baptism is the greatest thing you could receive next to your born–again experience.
God Told of Miracles Taking Place
The Lord was indeed performing mighty works. All who can’t believe when they hear should come and see. The Lord let the people know how His hand was moving to deliver the people.
“A lady in the crowd: You had cancer, but you don’t have it any more. You are healed. The miracle sign of God is yours. No more cancer.
“There is a person over here: You have a growth in the lower part of your bowel, and you’re healed. You had lots of pressure there, but you are healed and that pressure will all go.
“The person over here: You have a death disease that there is no cure for. If I tell the people around you what you have it will scare them and they will want to move away from you. But I’m not afraid of your disease; it is a dangerous disease, but you are healed and no man can heal you. You are healed by the power of God.
“I see in the vision there is a person: You have a brain tumor. Your head has been giving you a lot of trouble. Over there you are. You are being healed by the power of God. Just lift your hand. You have been having headaches, haven’t you. Lift that hand up high—not this person—right back there you are. You are being healed by the power of God. You will walk out of here without any brain tumor, saith the Lord. You are healed. Clap your hands! She believes that. Praise God!
“This is a ruptured condition, and it is a man. You’ve carried this rupture for five years. You’ve gone through untold agony, haven’t you. You are forty–one years old. You’re serving God. You love the Lord, and He loves you. You’re healed by the power of God.”
Two people were healed of rheumatoid arthritis, and then a man was pointed out who had committed murder.
“This is a backslider: You have committed murder, haven’t you. No one knows about it but you, God, and the devil. You have been tormented for nineteen years. God will forgive you tonight. I can’t point you out. I must not point you out, but you know who I am talking about. It was nineteen years ago. I know how you did it. You clubbed that person to death, and I’ll tell you why you did it. You thought he had committed adultery with your wife. It wasn’t even so, saith the Lord. It wasn’t true, but God will forgive you. She died, didn’t she, and you never learned the truth. She told you again and again but you wouldn’t believe her. Don’t go to hell. Jesus loves you. Every hand raised. Oh Sir, no one will know who you are. Everyone help him say the sinners’ prayer. He has been so tortured. Please God save his soul! Oh God, have mercy and save now! The Lord is appearing in a vision with His mercy and love in a great cloud of glory. He is looking down on this man. He is looking with such glory and such love, such forgiveness. Oh Sir, you are forgiven. I am watching the vision. Take peace now. You can’t undo it, but the Lord has forgiven you. We honor you, oh Lord.
“The person over here: You were in an automobile accident five years ago. The car turned over a number of times, injured your brain. You have never been able to feel right or think right since. Tonight, saith the Lord, you will go out whole in the name of Jesus.
“This person, you have had a back condition eleven years. You are healed by the power of God.
“There is a person over here: Your feet and legs…you were in an accident in your kitchen. You turned over a pot of hot water, scalded your legs and feet. You have never, never healed like you should have healed. Now you will heal up, and the Lord will give you new skin, saith the Lord. This is a miracle of re–creation.
“This person: You have bleeding ulcers. You suffer death at times, don’t you. In the vision you are losing quite a bit of blood now. You’re getting worse. You’re not saved; you’ve never even known the Lord, never even felt the Lord inside you. Lift up your hands, people. Fellow, say the sinners’ prayer. Oh God, save my soul. Forgive me of my sins, and I will serve you the rest of my life. You’re feeling the Lord, His presence. That’s the feel of the Lord. You had a number of ulcers, didn’t you. You are healed; you’re completely cured. You can eat whatever you want to eat. I see the miracle power in the vision. It took the miracle power to do it, but it is done.
“A person who had a ruptured blood vessel. One year, three months, one week, one day—count up after you get home—you almost bled to death. They thought you were going to bleed to death, didn’t they. You have never been just right since in your body. Now you have a miracle of re–creation. Now you are free. It is done. The God of miracles lives.
“Lift your hands. It isn’t necessary for me to even speak to you. The miracle power will fall on you. Take this miracle power on your hands now. It is the same power I use. If you could only see the vision. In this place is a cloud of gold over the audience. God is moving. Ask what you will. If you are going to serve the Lord, if you believe His promise, ask anything now. Tell Him what you need. Jesus said, If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you (John 15:7).”
Thousands More Were Delivered
Standing on the platform looking at the people, I saw in the vision a river flowing from Heaven covering them. Then appeared the Holy Ghost in a strange form a little above the water. He went down into the water and came back up with a number of devils. He took them, and it looked as though He were dumping them in a pit. I couldn’t see where He put them, but He got rid of them. Then He would come back, go down into the river again, get another bunch of devils, dump them and return. A number of times He made that trip.
Thousands were saved, delivered in that service. It was beyond anything I could ever imagine as the power of God rained down and took the place over for God. The devil didn’t have a chance.
With His Stripes We Are Healed
Jesus made it possible for us to have divine blood. I preached the blood that night, what is in the blood of Jesus. “With His blood stripes we are healed.” Why should you as a child of God ever doubt the Lord’s healing power? All the promises of God are found in the divine shed blood of Jesus. God made clear how He felt about those who rejected His blood.
“It’s a separating time, saith the Lord. You who are in witchcraft: How dare you worship the devil and expect God to heal you! He’ll not do it, saith the Lord.”
In great anger the Lord dealt with those in witchcraft who were rejecting the power of God: My Spirit is not praying for you. My Spirit is calling damnation to you, saith the Lord, damnation to you who are in witchcraft and voodooism, you who are wizards, calling damnation to you and calling judgment to you. My Spirit calleth for damnation. My Spirit calleth judgment upon you. My Spirit is not praying for you. You don’t want God; you want the power of the devil. You love the power of the devil more than you love the power of God, you who are in witchcraft, voodooism. You who are wizards: God hates you, despises you, hates and despises that you do the work of the devil, and He’s going to cut you off. Thus saith the Lord, if you go from this service, you will damn your soul; if you go from this service with those witchcraft devils, voodooism devils and other devils of that kind in you, I won’t deal with you anymore. I will turn you completely over to the devil, saith the Lord, and you will have blasphemed against my Holy Spirit, and you will never be called to salvation. I won’t want you any more. I won’t want you any more, and I will despise you. I can hate just as much as I can love, saith the Lord. Search my judgments in my Holy Book and you will find that I can hate just as much as I can love. I tell of my hate. Read of my hate in the book of Revelation.
This was the last chance for certain people in the congregation. God would never hear their cry after that night. The spirit of blaspheming has already started, saith the Lord. already some have blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, and decided, “I don’t want this. I’m keeping what I have.”
I said to that huge crowd: “Every hand raised. Child of God, if you ever prayed, you better pray now to try to rescue these souls who God is ready to turn away from, those in witchcraft. Devils control them, they worship the devil. You who are bound, raise a hand if you want to be free, and pray: Oh God, save my soul, save my soul! I want to be delivered from the powers of hell. I don’t want to be damned. I don’t want to be cast into the lake of fire with the devil. I know your Bible says that is what will happen. I turn from the powers of the devil. I will serve the Lord. I will serve the Lord! Come in Jesus! I want just your power! I will never, never worship the devil any more. I refuse to be around those who take part in it. I will separate from those kind of people, and I will go with the children of God.”
The Devil Was Uncovered
The Lord uncovered the devil. Some people had come to the service with no intention of finding God. God knew what they were in—and they still dared think they could get a miracle from God!
God looked into one heart and saw murder.
“The person way back: You have AIDS. You have been in crime, much crime. You have robbed. You have wounded, and you’re planning to kill someone if you get a chance. God sent you to this service, and God will deliver you from that murdering devil, and God will heal you of AIDS, but if you commit that crime it will be the end of your life. If they do not find out before the AIDS kills you, the AIDS will move in. You are close to death, anyway. Don’t go the way you planned to go. You planned to poison the person. You have the poison, don’t you. It is in a cupboard. Get that poison and destroy it. Give your heart to God. Let’s break the devil’s hold.” The crowd said the sinners’ prayer with that person, and the gift of discerning continued to operate.
“You’re a backslider. You have been backslidden for more than ten years. You have played the hypocrite for more than ten years. You go to church, don’t you. I’m looking at your soul, and it’s black, black, black with sin. Three devils bind you. Those devils have deceived you and made you think you are all right. God is going to cut you off if you don’t come clean with Him. God hates a hypocrite. He loves a sinner, but He hates a hypocrite. It’s time for you to give your heart to God, and you haven’t made that decision. But if you will make it, if you cry out to God, He will save you. You have stolen, and you’ll have to make it right. You have stolen, you have lied and lied. There is no truth in you, saith the Lord. If you were to die right now you would go straight to hell. There are people in your church who think you are all right. You are not right at all, and that’s thus saith the Lord. You better get willing to surrender all, or God will cut you off in your sins.
“The person way over there: You have anger, anger, hate. It’s against your parents, isn’t it. They did abuse you. They did mistreat you. They treated you worse than an animal, but you can’t die with that hate in you. You have had enough hell here on Earth. Don’t go to hell. Let Jesus save you. I weep for you; you’ve had a rugged life. If people here only knew what you have gone through…Your parents created a hell for you. But the thing to do is turn them over to God. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. Jesus loves you. Say: Jesus, come into my heart now. Give me your love, and I will serve you.
“Everyone who needs a miracle of re–creation for any part of your body, take it. The place is filled with the glory of God. You are covered with a miracle cloud now, a miracle cloud of glory. The river of His greatness is flowing in the vision. It’s the river of life, the healing power, the miracle power, the greatness of Almighty God. The rivers are flowing to you people tonight. I see the mighty scene and it’s on and on, God’s glorious miracle greatness.”
As the last service ended, we rejoiced that God’s love had flowed like mighty rivers each service. We had won thousands of souls for the Lord: He had made Himself living reality to the people through His mighty manifestations and miracles. I had brought them Jesus and all the power in His name, power for any healing needed.
We hold souls in our hands in this last and final hour. Nothing is so valuable as one soul, and only through love can we hold them and bring them to Jesus.
The tears of Calvary will set people free who are chained with the powers of the devil. We must have the compassion of Calvary as we in total obedience follow the command Jesus gave His disciples: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover…And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen (Mark 16:15–20).
With signs, wonders, miracles and healings God is doing everything He can to awaken people to this last and final hour we live in. What we do we must do quickly.
