The Shift

I got an email from the New Wine network written by guy who went to a prophetic conference recently.

There were two parts of the email that I found interesting.

The second report was from Paul Keith Davis who mentioned that he considers John Kilpatrick to be his pastor and that they meet regularly to talk and fellowship. John told him how at Brownsville that the anointing of God would fall each night and that when it did everything would noticeably change. The air would seem to change. Colors would appear different. People’s faces would change. The music would change. In a moment, everything would suddenly be taken to another level and God would move in.

John said that they were always concerned that each day would be the last day they would see God move in like this. And often God would come in a different times. Sometimes, He would come in early on during worship, and at other times, it would be late after the message. Fortunately, God came day after day after day.

But one day John saw two balls of light surrounding the podium. He didn’t normally see such things and he asked God what they were. God told them they were His anointings for healings and God told him to get up and release that anointing. John got up but as he started to tell the people what he had seen, suddenly God’s anointing flowed through him extremely strong to the point that he said he was “vomiting” out words of knowledge about healings. Many medical terms came spewing out of his mouth that he had never heard before. And at one point he said a particularly long medical name and when he spoke it a beam of light about a foot long came out his mouth and shot out into the congregation.

Only John saw this light, but it weaved its way over and around people until it struck a lady near her heart, and soon she was screaming. He found out that she had an incredibly rare malady that had the name he had spoken and he learned how she had traveled to the best doctors in the U.S. and in Europe, but nobody could do anything for her. She reached the point where she told God that if didn’t heal her that night that she would rather just die and go to heaven. She ended up healed that night.

And another part about a shift that is happening.

On this line, Paul Keith mentioned how in 1957 William Branham said that God was grieved with the way Christians were abusing His anointing (through promoting themselves and using it for their own agendas) and that He would withdraw His anointing (to the degree it had been given) for a generation. Paul Keith talked about how back then whole hospitals wards had been healed and other incredible things had happened, and that now that same level of anointing was beginning to return, and next year would be the jubilee for this.

Again, it seems like we have lived through a dry period but now things are changing for the better. With all the reports I’ve heard from Bill Johnson, this certainly seems to be the case, and that’s is really wonderful.

Bob Jones said something similar. He said that 29 years ago God had been grieved as well and had withdrawn. With Bob, it happened on a specific day and time: 6 PM, March 11th, 1977. He then said that on March 11th of this year he saw something he hadn’t seen before. Miraculous things took place at a conference he was at, and then God spoke to him asking him, do you know what today is? It was the same day and hour, only 29 years later, and so Bob said God was restoring the anointing that Bob had seen leave back in 1977.

Sounds good. Indeed, Bob reported accurately what happened at that conference this past March 11th. I should know since I was there at that same conference in Columbia, South Carolina.

I won’t try to interpret these things. Here is the enire email if you want to read it (pdf)
