And the inhabitant shall not say I am sick.

Isa. 33:24

I believe that this verse is speaking of a time in the church where
there will be no sickness or disease just like when Israel came up out
of Egypt in Ps.  105:37 and none were feeble.  Think about it, more
than three million people!  Kathryn Kuhlman prophesied in her day that
there would be a day in the church where the church would say I am not
sick.  Many others have prophesied a great healing revival including
John G Lake who through his ministry it was reported that Portland was
the healthiest city where over 100,000 healings and miracles were
documented.  God has shown me many things into the coming healing
revival in Canada and the North American church.  I want to share with
you today four aspects of what I believe will happen in this revival.



REPENTANCE

1.  Repentance: In the beginning in the garden of Eden there was no
sin, sickness, disease or death.  When sin entered the world then came
sickness, disease and death.  Sin opens the door for sickness and
disease.  Much sickness today is rooted in control, bitterness, envy,
jealousy and unforgiveness in a person's life.  Two things that I see
happening is as people who are in bondage to sickness and disease
repent of their willful sin, they will be healed.  I've also seen that
as the church repents of its corruption and worldly ways that healing
would take place supernaturally without the laying on of hands.  As
repentance and the revival of righteousness sweeps through the church
so will healings and miracles.


SAINTS REVIVAL

2.  Saints revival: God is going to do away with a clergy/layman
"mentality" and raise up the saints in great works of his power.  Not
just the leaders, the anointed man, pastor or evangelist but the
saints will begin to preach the gospel and heal the sick.  Acts 6:1-7
reports that the Apostles called out seven men full of good reputation
and the Holy Spirit.  They laid their hands on them then vse.  7
reports the number of the disciples increased greatly.  We all know
Stephen full of faith and power doing signs but who were the rest
(vs.5) we never hear of them again or their works of power.  I believe
they flowed in an anointing just like Stephen.  God is going to use
the church deacons, business men, cashiers and housewives including
children to work his great power.  Nobodies as it were, people we
don't know just like those chosen by the Apostles, people like
Stephen.


CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

3.  Children s ministry: I have seen a great move of healings and
miracles by the hands of children.  I had a vision of an 8 year old
boy with a bible in his hand preaching with fire and boldness to
thousands.  Through the word of the Lord he preached and the sick were
recovering in there seats.  I see children being used by the spoken
word and faith to grow limbs and I see them working creative miracles.
Jesus said in Matt.  19:14  Let the Little children come to me do not
forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of heaven.  We know that the
kingdom isn't in word only but in power and Jesus driving out spirits
by the spirit of God said the kingdom is upon you.  Children are going
to move in the power of the kingdom driving out spirits, healing the
sick because the kingdom is theirs.


LAST DAY ANOINTING

4.  Last Day Anointing: I have seen a glimpse of the anointing that
will be on the last day church.  We think the book of acts was
glorious but the glory of the latter house will be greater than the
former.  We are going out with a bigger bang than we came in.  Rev.
11:1-6 describes the two witnesses moving in great power like Elijah
and Moses.  I believe that this is not two people but the end time
church operating in the spirit and power of Elijah and Moses.


IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN LAMP STANDS

Rev 11:4 says the two witnesses are the two lamp stands.  Where was Jesus
standing in Rev.  1 but in the midst of the seven lamp stands which
were the church.  Luke 1 prophesies John the baptist in the spirit and
power of Elijah at the first coming of Jesus.  Some even thought he
was Elijah.  Matt.  17 on the mount of transfiguration the Father used
Moses and Elijah as a sign of the law and the prophets to show that
Jesus was who he said he was and I believe as we near the second
coming God will again confirm the church as His voice by bringing the
spirit and power of Moses and Elijah upon His army.  I have seen the
army of God moving in creative anointing through the spoken word, like
at the word of Elijah the heavens were opened (1Kings 17:1). 


POWER OVER NATURAL ELEMENTS

Joshua spoke and the sun stood still, Moses turned water to blood and I
see
the church having the same power over the natural elements even as
Jesus had the winds and the sea obey him.  This also will happen to
us, we will move into a wonder ministry fulfilling the rest of Joel 2.



SPEAKING TO LIMBS

Through the church God will show wonders in the heavens and the earth.
We will speak to limbs like Jesus did when he said  stretch forth your
hand  and it will happen.  The wonders we will do will be like in the
day of Elijah and Moses to stop the world from its busyness to see the
glory of God.  I don't just see healings and miracles, but signs and
wonders of great proportion stopping the busyness of life as the glory
cloud literally comes down upon the church like with Moses. The end of
Rev 11:6 concerning the two witnesses says they could do their signs
as often as they desired, that's power.  Pray it in.  Let's believe
God to confirm His word and trust us with the last day anointing we'll
need for last day harvest.  The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses
our forefathers will once again begin to show up in the church like he
visited in old testament times when he visited his people.  Think
about it.

God bless you all.
