Apostolic Revival

Apostolic Days

Acts 2:1–4 (KJV)

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Have you wished you were living in the days of the apostles? In the days of the apostles there were miracles, and signs, and wonders.

The power of the Holy Spirit was falling. People were being baptized in power, filled with the Holy Ghost, and having life-changing transformations!

The lame were walking, and the deaf were hearing, and the blind were seeing. Those must have been glorious days.

What it must have been like to have lived during the days of the apostles, and to have seen the miraculous supernatural power of God working and manifesting through the lives of the apostles and the disciples.

The very introduction of the Holy Spirit as the baptizer in Acts chapter 2 when he comes and he baptizes his people with fire.

Tongues of fire sitting upon their heads.

And they go forth with tongues of fire witnessing to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ with great power and authority.

It must have been glorious. It must have been amazing. And I have to admit, I have thought to myself ... I sure would have loved to have lived in the days of the apostles.

But to be honest about it I did not really fully and completely and accurately process the information that I had.

All the information is right there in the book of acts, but I only saw what was comfortable, and what was exciting.

I didn't see the persecution and the hostility that was raging against the church. I didn't see the intensity of the anger and hatred for the message of the gospel and toward those who carried it.

Now when I look in the book of acts I see things differently.

Now I understand that the apostles, as much as they were highly anointed and used by God, they were equally hated and persecuted because of their faith.

But they were bold and they were aggressive, and they were faithful to the calling and to the ministry.

Apostolic Days - The Churches Greatest Hour

Now I said all that to say this... I believe that we are living in apostolic days. Or I should say, in days such as the apostles lived in.

We are living in days of apostolic persecution, and it is time for the church to arise with Apostolic Authority, Apostolic Power, Apostolic Dominion!

The apostles lived under the continual threat of persecution, but the apostles also lived in the power of the Holy Spirit!

We are living in days of persecution against the church, and the church needs to move in apostolic power.

I believe that as much as the church is experiencing persecution and hostility against it, it is also going to be used by God as a catalyst for good, to ignite the church, and to get us back to apostolic power.

In early April of 2020, I asked God when He was going to put an end to the attacks on the church and the pestilence that has plagued the earth. God told me that this would carry on into 2021.

God spoke to me and said it is the year of vision (2020) God said 20 20 vision means both eyes can see the same. So 2020 is the year of vision and God said I allowed 2020 to come so that my church can see the world from the perspective I have been seeing it from for the past 100 years. The chaos that the world is seeing now has always been there but I have opened the eyes of the church to see the condition in which the world has been in.

God said a spirit of Absolom has tried to rise in the church as a whole and in many places it already has. In many churches, the focus and push for revival has been replaced with the focus and push for strategic attendance growth. Churches have been consumed with building beautiful buildings, developing multiple streams of income, and organizing conferences that have replaced revival. All of those things I have allowed and they were supposed to be in conjunction with and support to revival but the self-serving Absolom spirit has risen. I will return my church to the times of old revival and for a season take the church outside of the building. I will stop conferences and bring the focus of revival back to the church. I will bring America to its knees and I will captivate the attention of the church and the entire world will be watching the church.

In late January of 2021, God spoke to me again, and He said. 2021 will be a year to Harvest Revival. God showed me a large ball of fire that hit Merced, California once it touched then the ball ruptured and catapulted other balls of fire to other cities throughout California. When balls of fire hit Los Angles it then spread like a river the imagine in the vision was like the car lights that track in the night with low lighting pictures. The flame light stream went from Southern California clear across the nation to Florida then up then all over the interstate lines all across the country. The fire which God revealed to me is revival eventually went clear across the entire world.

It is time for the church to get back to Apostolic Power! We need to get the same route as that the early apostles were on.

It all started in the upper room, where 120 men and women who recognized the immensity of the work before them and understood their inability to accomplish it in human strength or ability, set themselves to praying and seeking God, and crying out in faith, for the promise of power from on high.

Before Jesus left he told them that they would receive power from on high after the Holy Ghost came upon them. And he told them, "Tarry in Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high."

Jesus knew the work before them would require supernatural power, because Jesus knew that their battle was spiritual, against demons, principalities, and powers of darkness.

Jesus also knew that the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire would equip them for this battle and this spiritual warfare.

As they came together in one place and one accord to contend in prayer for the promised power from on high, bible scholars say they were there for ten days pleading for “power.”

That’s what Jesus said they would receive and that’s what they were contending for. “Power from on high.”

Then suddenly the answer came. Suddenly heaven responded to earth, and the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead came rushing in like a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

The might of heaven, the strength of God, the mighty Holy Ghost, came suddenly upon them, and set upon them as cloven tongues of fire, and filled every one of them until they began to speak with other tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance.

Suddenly they were endued with supernatural power from on high. They were not moving in the weakness of human flesh, they were moving by the power of the Holy Ghost. He was now living inside of them, resting upon them, and flowing through them like rivers of water.

Its Time To Get Back to Ancient Anointing

This is where we must come back to, we must come back to Jesus' first words concerning their baptism of power.

He said... Go to Jerusalem and tarry there until. How long? Until!

How long? As long as it takes.

We need to get to a place that we are hungry for a move of the Holy Ghost. We need to get back to a place where we will tarry in His presence as long as it takes!

*Until the heavens open.

*Until our weakness is clothed with his strength.

*Until the fire of God sets upon us, and sets us on fire.

*Until our tongues speak by Divine power and utterance, and authority.

*Until the GLORY of God is manifested

Brother Gordon Winslow recently prophesied and I quote the prophecy:

Hear ye the word of the Lord, I am the God of the mountains I walk among the high places there have been a few that have climbed up the mountain but there has only been a very narrow amount of people that have pulled the mountain down to where they are. And you have cried out to me, and you have sought my face, and you have praised me in the debts of my mercy and my love, thus I will cause the mountain to come down where you are and I will cause my power to break the chains of the valley. Cry out to me now, open up your heart, and received the ancient anointing of old revivals and old moves of the Holy Ghost for I am the ancient one that sits upon the throne and I pour out this moment an old anointing of revival on you in Jesus name.

It is time for the church to cry out, reach up and pull the mountain down. It is time for the church to seek the face of God, for the church to praise Him in the midst of our adversities, and touch the debts of God's mercy and love!

I believe a great revival is coming to Las Vegas, and it will come when Praise Tabernacle comes to the conclusion that I will get back to the Acts of the Apostoles! We need a fresh filling of the Holy Ghost!

A revival is coming, it will be known as the Great Las Vegas Revial! Do you want it Praise Tabernacle?

They Waited

Waiting is a lost art today. We live in a microwave age, we want everything on our time, and that means fast.

The Holy Spirit could have rushed in upon them as soon as they reached the upper room. But there is something important that takes place in the waiting.

In the waiting...

*Motives are exposed.

*Attitudes are corrected.

*Hunger is increased.

*The lukewarm, and half-hearted are sifted out.

*Waiting increases our capacity to receive.

Waiting is the way God prepares us to receive.

*The willingness to wait reveals the value you place on what you’re waiting for.

The greater value you place on something, the longer you are willing to wait and persevere for it.

I hear the Holy Spirit saying, it’s time for the church to get back to the upper room, and get in the receiving posture again.

It’s time to position ourselves before God as the early church, with the same until attitude.

Tarry until the power comes.

Jacob had that until disposition as he wrestled with the angel of the Lord. The angel said, let me go the day breaketh.

Jacob said, I won’t let you go until you bless me.

This is where we must come back.

*I won’t let you go until you bless me.

*Until you pour your Spirit out upon me.

*Until you clothe me with your power.

*Until you fill me with your Spirit.

*Until you consume me with Holy Ghost Fire!

Apostolic Prayer

When the church comes back to apostolic praying, the church will come back to apostolic power.

In the book of acts chapter 4:29-31

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

It says when the apostles had been threatened for their preaching and their teaching in Jesus name.

The Bible says they were gathered together and they prayed. They prayed, and they said, oh Lord behold their threatening's and grant unto servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word by stretching forth thine hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

Then the Bible says, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak the Word of God with boldness.

And then the Bible says in vs 33 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Then in chapter 5 vs 12 it says 12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people;

They were all filled with the Holy Ghost. There was a fresh baptism of apostolic power that came upon them when they prayed.

This is the main reason the government is trying to keep the church from assembling together.

They are not really afraid of our singing, or even our preaching, what they are afraid of is our praying.

When the church really gets down to the business of praying with power. Then the church will emerge clothed with power, and that is what the devil is afraid of.

A praying church is a dangerous church, dangerous to the plans of hell.

Never before in the history of this nation has there been a greater need for men and women who know how to pray, who know how to groan in the spirit, how to travail and agonize before God for the power to confront the devil and destroy his wicked agenda.

If the church does not find its knees in prayer then the church will be brought to its knees by God humbling.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

What makes the church the church, is not chicken dinners, padded chairs, and air conditioning.

What makes the church the church is the presence and the power of God, residing in and flowing through her to heal and restore and deliver, and the only way to have that is to pray.

The greatest privilege and the greatest responsibility that has ever been given to the church is prayer. If we fail here, we fail everywhere.

If in this most critical hour of our history, the church neglects the most critical responsibility that she has, which is to pray, then we are handing our children and our grandchildren to the devil on a silver platter.

We need praying men and women in the church house.

Jesus said, my house shall be called of all nations “a house of prayer.”

That’s why there is such an attack against church attendance. The devil has an agenda to destroy this nation and ultimately the world. But through prayer, we introduce the kingdom of God into the equation, and when God's kingdom is manifested, Satan loses every time.

For some time now the prayer of the church has been... Lord have mercy on us, and rightly so. But I am convinced that the church must now assume a different posture, and that posture is militant and aggressive.

If we the church of the Lord Jesus Christ do not take a militant and aggressive stand against the principalities and powers and rulers of darkness that are destroying our nation, we will lose our country not by conquest but by forfeit.

In other words, it won’t be because the devil has more power, it will simply be because the church failed to access the power available to us.

We are in apostolic days of evil and persecution. Now the church must return to apostolic prayer, and we will see an explosion of apostolic power! The government wants the “Silence of the Lambs” as Bishop Hodges put it, but it is time for a fresh anointing, it is time for the church to rise with boldness, apostolic Authority, and power!

ENDING

On March 21st, at the Exodus Conference put together by Bishop Joe Garcia and Word Aflame Ministries I was asked to release a prophetic blessing to the congregation. When I was speaking the Lord spoke to me again regarding the 4 angels. He told me to prophesy of the coming revival and to dispatch the angles to those who would receive. Then God told me that He will be opening doors and every place I go to dispatch the four angles and prophecy of this revival.

When I took my seat the Lord told me that the reason there are four angles is that 4 is the number of the earth.
