The
Price Of Visitation
A Prophetic Word Given November 1996
At Pinecrest's Retreat Center at Setauket on Long Island
The Lord is raising up instruments of revival whom He can
use as catalysts of unity. Therefore, He is seeking willing
vessels who will flow with Him in bringing unity to His Body.
This ministry must be a self-denying weapon in the hands
of the Lord. Only then can the strongholds of Satan be broken
and unity brought to the Church.
Those who respond to this calling will be prepared through
seasons of repentance and prayer. They will be dealt with
by the Lord until they have been birthed into the meekness
and humility of Jesus.
Those who partake of this ministry must be totally given
over to the heart of the Lord for this purpose, and walk with
Him in absolute purity and holiness. Therefore, they must
be purged in their hearts of all self-interest and pride.
"My son, despise not thou the chastening of the
Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him.
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." Heb 12:5b-6.
"Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be
joyous, but grievous. Nevertheless, afterward
it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness
unto them which are exercised thereby." Heb 12:11.
The revival that is to come will not be birthed by any one
ministry, but by the combined ministries that have come into
a measure of unity through His dealings, and have been raised
up for this very purpose.
The Lord is about to move sovereignly and swiftly, therefore
He must have submitted vessels who are willing to yield to
His purpose. This can only be accomplished through a visitation
of the presence and glory of the Lord, not by any of man's
fleshly works.
The Lord will use this ministry as a tool of judgement, exposing
the wickedness within hearts, and bringing many to repentance.
"Let the saints be joyful in glory. Let them sing
aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of
God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in
their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen,
and punishments upon the people; To bind their
kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters
of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written:
this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the
Lord." Psalm 149:5-9.
This will be a sovereign move of the Holy Spirit in accordance
with the purpose of the Lord for the last days.
When the Holy Spirit fire comes down and the multitudes are
drawn, the captives set free, the weak and the hurting made
strong, then all the praise, glory, and honor is to be lifted
to Jesus upon the Throne.
