Benny Hinn's Dream of Jezebel & The Last Outpouring
I would like
to share with you a dream which God gave to Benny Hinn and which he reported
in his January 2002 partner letter.
Benny Hinn's Partner Letter
Just days
ago I had a dream that I know was prophetic and from the Lord, and as my
partner in ministry, I want to share it with you!
In the
dream I saw myself standing on-stage in a large coliseum filled with
people who were worshipping God, singing "How Great Thou Art". As the
dream continued and in the midst of all this glory, I noticed a large
woman with black hair standing on the platform to my left a few feet
from me, attempting to distract me. Nobody else seemed to notice her as
she made noise, talked out loud and mocked what was going on. I remember
wondering why no one could see her or stop her. I turned to her as
everyone else kept singing, and I rebuked her in the name of the Lord.
The moment I took authority in the Spirit over her, it was as if she
vanished into thin air.
Almost
immediately a remarkable thing happened. Suddenly, I was standing in
front of the first row of the audience, leading in "How Great Thou Art",
when instantly the power of God fell on the first part of the audience,
a third of the crowd, all of them, shaking violently under the
anointing.
Instantaneously, I was transported in front of the second section of the
audience, leading again in "How Great Thou Art". As we sang, the second
group fell, shaking violently under the anointing with heavy rain
falling on them as they remained glued to their seats, trembling
forcefully.
The most
amazing part of the dream was still to come. In a heartbeat I was
translated to the front of the last section of the audience. As I led
again with "How Great Thou Art", the final third of the audience fell
back into their seats, shaking violently with fiery rain falling on
them. It looked like liquid fire.
Suddenly I
awoke, totally amazed and shaken by what I had seen in the dream. I
asked the Lord to reveal the meaning of the dream to me. That same day
as I shared it with my wife Suzanne, she immediately said that five
weeks ago the Lord had given her a similar dream, and went on to tell me
that the woman I saw was the spirit of Jezebel. And the Lord showed me
that day clearly that the spirit of Jezebel must be removed before the
power and glory of God falls.
As you
remember, Jezebel was the woman who stood against Elijah in the Old
Covenant, and I believe today she represents control, legalism,
intimidation, manipulation, fear and a religious spirit. And there is
much more in Scripture of what she represents [more of that in what
follows; editor]. I believe with all of my heart the Lord is going to
destroy this spirit of Jezebel. And when this stronghold is dealt with,
then we are going to see these things begin to happen:
First, the
Presence of God will be intensified, overwhelming us with a deeper
anointing and greater manifestations of the Spirit that will sweep
across the body of Christ. It will be a prelude to what comes next.
Secondly,
this anointing will go to a higher level as the latter rain descends
which, according to Joel 2:23-26, speaks of the restoration of God's
power and the restoration of the years that the locust has eaten. The
latter rain speaks of the fulfilment of all of God's promises.
Third, the
fire of God will then rain down on your life, and on the whole body of
Christ as the glory of God intensifies and becomes visible to His
people. In the Scripture, God's fire was visible to Israel for 40 years,
and on the Day of Pentecost, the fire of God was visible again in the
Upper Room. It is the fire of God that will bring us into a total
jubilee!
Get
ready... it's coming! And I believe we are about to see the beginning of
it this year! More than ever, seek His presence, expect great things for
your life and loved ones, and sow your seed of faith for His work and
Kingdom with joy, knowing that His glory is about to saturate your
life.

Wigglesworth's Prophecy
Smith
Wigglesworth prophesied in 1947 that before Jesus’ second coming there would
be a final revival which would impact the British Isles and Europe. This
would occur when the movements of Word and Spirit come together.
We are about
to enter the beginnings of that, which is why I believe Benny Hinn was
expecting things to happen in 2002. [The 1947 Wigglesworth prophecy is
recorded in The Last Outpouring and Newsletter 13 (£1.00).]
The Meaning of the Dream
Here is the
meaning of Benny Hinn’s dream. The metaphors used were deliberate and
distinctive. He wrote:
In the dream I saw myself standing on-stage in a large coliseum filled
with people who were worshipping God, singing "How Great Thou Art". As the
dream continued and in the midst of all this glory, I noticed a large woman
with black hair standing on the platform to my left a few feet from me,
attempting to distract me.
A large woman: She is large because she is a dominant influence in
the Church. Remember, the woman is Jezebel, a symbol of apostate influence
which is idolatrous.
With black hair: Black is a symbol of witchcraft. (Witches invariably were
regarded as having black hair.) Satanic control is the dominant feature of
this false religion. It is also employed by false ministers in the Christian
Church.
Also, compared
with Jesus’ brilliant white hair (Rev 1:14), depicting the purity of what is
in His mind, this woman (church) has very impure doctrine and concepts.
Standing on the platform: This identifies this damnable influence as elevated
in the Church. It is accepted by the people because it is in, and promoted
by, the Church leadership. It includes many leaders in church structures.
The people look up to her (Jezebel).
To my left: Left depicts liberalism in teaching. Liberals water down
the importance of obedience to God’s law, and the extreme left promote the
lie that God’s law for man has been done away.
A few feet from me: This pernicious influence is very close to Benny Hinn.
Attempting to distract me
(from the truth): As God pours out His power accompanying this last move of
God – to give credibility to the previously unacceptable message that goes
along with it – false ministers in the Church will oppose the truths that
are promoted. They will try to distract Benny and draw him away from the
truths God is making known.
He continued:
Nobody else seemed to notice her as she made noise, talked out loud and
mocked what was going on. I remember wondering why no one could see her or
stop her. I turned to her as everyone else kept singing, and I rebuked her
in the name of the Lord. The moment I took authority in the Spirit over her,
it was as if she vanished into thin air.
Nobody else seemed to notice her:
This shows how this wicked element in the Church is not recognised for what
it is. It is not regarded as apostate. Tell most Church folks that the most
acclaimed ministers promoting Jesus are publicising false teachings on very
basic biblical issues, and they will probably tell you not to be so deluded!
But deception
is not noticed, is it? Those who are deceived by Jezebel, don’t know that
they are deceived. So, nobody seems to notice her, as the dream conveyed.
She made noise, talked out loud and mocked what was going on:
The general way to distract from the truth is make as much noise as you can
to promote the error that is commonly believed; talk people out of believing
the new truth; and mock it. It then sounds like you know what you are
talking about. And you have done Satan’s work to oppose what God wants to
do.
I remember wondering why no one could see her or stop her:
Satan’s delusions are invisible. He hides behind a mask of ‘righteousness’.
He is also very astute, and knows how to promote error so that people can’t
see how to oppose it. He makes error and falsity seem more appealing that
what is right, which is why his power of deception is so effective.
I turned to her as everyone else kept singing, and I rebuked her in the
name of the Lord: God will open Benny’s mind to the truth and he will make a stand for
what is right. He will counter this evil influence in the Church, which
wants to undermine righteousness through subtle antinomian teaching.
The moment I took authority in the Spirit over her, it was as if she
vanished into thin air: When error is countered, it is as if it has never been! You
wonder how you could ever have believed such false concepts!
Benny Hinn
remarked:
Suddenly I awoke, totally amazed and shaken... and the Lord showed me
that day clearly that the spirit of Jezebel must be removed before the power
and glory of God falls.
That is how it
will be. SUDDENLY, it will happen. God is preparing to light the fuse right
now. We are not far away. The fuse will be lit, the taper burn, and BANG!!!
off will go the explosion! And people will wonder what has happened! They
will be amazed and shaken. The power of God will fall and error will be
challenged head on!
The Messages to the Seven Churches
4: Thyatira
(From Understanding the Book of Revelation (£7.00)
available from Midnight Ministries.)
When John
received the vision which he recorded in Revelation, Jesus appeared to him
in brilliant glory. He shone with an intensity brighter than the sun, His
hair was as white as snow, and His eyes blazed like fire (Rev 1:13-15).
Few men have
ever seen the Son of God in such a display of outright splendour. John’s
reaction was to be expected. He collapsed in terror! The display of sheer
power was too much for any mortal to withstand.
This power will be displayed to the whole world when
Jesus returns to wrest rulership from the decadent hands of mankind. At that
time the rulers, the élite, and the military – all the ‘greats’ of the earth
– will plead in terror for the rocks and mountains to fall on them to hide
them from the face of this almighty Being (Rev 6:16). None will want to face
this awesome display of supernatural magnificence. God’s greatness is so
great, that mankind is insignificantly puny by comparison!
The Message To Thyatira
The message to
Thyatira is conveyed in the same dramatic tone: one of stern judgement.
“These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes blaze like fire” (Rev
2:18). This is not a mere mortal speaking. Jesus is addressing Thyatira in
severe tones, not because they lack love, faith, service or perseverance –
He says they have those qualities (v 19) – but because of their tolerance of
evil.
You tolerate that woman Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants
into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols (v 20).
What Jesus
castigates this church for, is tolerating false teaching – for not taking a
vehement stand against it. Heresy was leading people astray; taking them
away from God and from the biblical truths which help us to understand Him
and what He is doing on earth through His Church. So vile was this heresy in
God’s sight that He likened it to sexual immorality and obscene pagan
idolatry. In the rites of idolatrous pagan religions, fornication with
temple prostitutes was commonplace. God was likening the depths to which the
Church had sunk, by absorbing heresy, to this debased level!
The Church is
to keep herself unspotted from the world and to be a chaste virgin,
faithfully waiting for the coming of her heavenly Groom (Matt 25:1-6; Rev
19:7,8; Eph 5:25-27). By compromising with the Word of God and accepting
this heresy they were jeopardizing their spiritual future as the Bride of
Christ.
What was this
heresy which had beguiled many at Thyatira? Who was Jezebel? We will see in
a moment.
First let us
continue with the warning Jesus gives His Church:
I have given her [Jezebel] time to
repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed
of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer
intensely, unless they repent of her ways (vs 21,22). I will strike her
children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am He who searches
hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. Now
I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching
and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, I will not impose any
other burden on you: Only hold on to what you have until I come (vs
23-25).
The heresy
was:
1) False
teaching. Something not sanctioned in the Bible.
2) A mystery, or mysteries – Satan’s so-called ‘deep secrets’
– something masquerading as deeper understanding but which is in actual fact
deception, not truth.
3) Jesus says: “hold on to what you have…” implying that this heresy is
actually a taking away from original revealed truth.
Thyatira’s Compromise
One of the
heresies by which the Church of the early centuries AD was being corrupted
was the substitution of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment by an
idolatrous replacement, Sunday. Sunday is the first day of the week and was
commonly recognized in pagan religions. It was so named in honour of the sun
which was widely worshipped. In the Roman pantheon, the sun god was the
chief sky god.
“Sunday being
the day on which the Gentiles solemnly adored that planet, and called it
Sunday, partly from its influence on that day especially, and partly in
respect to its divine body (as they conceived it), the Christian thought fit
to keep the same day and the same name of it” (Six Dialogues on The
Lord’s Day, by T H Morer, p 22,23).
The trouble
is, God did not sanction the transference of the Sabbath rest to Sunday. The
cunning of Satan instigated the change. He deceived certain men who were
false apostles, who, in turn deceived some Christians. The falling away from
original truth began early. Paul was warning the Ephesian elders of serious
apostasy quite a while before it occurred (Acts 20:30). His sentiments were
echoed by Jude (Jude 3,4) and Peter (2 Pet 2:1,2). And Peter’s prophecy
warned of the large numbers of Christians who would fall prey to such
heresy: “Many will follow their shameful ways…” (2 Pet 2:2).
Satan’s
masterly deception was readily accepted by a large number of believers
because of the persuasion of ‘Christian’ leaders who promoted the deceitful
philosophy. It was a teaching that was appealing to the masses in the Roman
Empire because that was the day of the sun with which the pagans were
familiar anyway. The sun was worshipped as the great life-giver. Instead of
calling Sunday a day in honour of the sun, why not call it a day in honour
of the Sun of Righteousness (Mal 4:2), the Son of God, the Christian
life-giver? Thus, it was relatively easy to form a bridge between the
ubiquitous pagan philosophies and that of Christianity. Such a merger could
bring stability to the Roman empire in its twilight years, so Constantine
thought. The cleverly political Roman emperor found in it a very convenient
tool with which to consolidate his power and regulate the religious
frictions within the Empire (see under Constantine – Christian or
Charlatan?). Moreover, because of prevalent anti-Semitic resentment,
such teaching was more readily accepted by Gentiles than pure Christian
truth.
Later, as the
customs of the broad Church drifted further from those of the biblically
revealed Sabbaths and Passover of 14th Abib, the accurate details of when
the Lord died and was resurrected became lost. Faded by time, and by
misunderstandings about the meaning of certain gospel texts, it became
generally believed that Jesus rose on a Sunday, the first day of the week.
This seemed a good justification for emphasising the value of Sunday
observance and doing away with the ‘Jewish’ custom of the Sabbath.
Pear’s Cyclopaedia, under the heading Sabbath and Sunday, states:
“Sunday, or the Lord’s Day, is the first day of the week in the Christian
year. It was substituted for the Jewish Sabbath in the 1st century AD as the
Christian day of worship in commemoration of the Resurrection. The Sabbath
in the Jewish system was the last day of the week (Saturday in the Christian
calendar), designated as the day of rest in the fourth commandment of the
Decalogue.”
The argument
for changing from Sabbath to Sunday sounds very plausible, except for the
fact that nowhere has God indicated that such a change is divinely approved.
Reprobate men made the change, under satanic influence – impostors,
masquerading as Christian teachers, but who were devoid of the Spirit of God
(2 Cor 11:13; Jude 12).
Unfortunately,
this rational-sounding explanation above (from Pear’s Cyclopaedia)
contains a number of lies and misleading half-truths.
1) The Sabbath
was never exclusively Jewish. It was instituted at Creation (Gen
2:3), long before any Jew existed. It is one of the commandments given to
Israel (not just to Jews... incidentally, not all Israelites are of the
tribe of Judah – the ‘Jews’) that are not to be altered or abrogated until
heaven and earth disappear (Matt 5:18). The Sabbath was made for man, not
merely for the Jew (Mark 2:27). And the Sabbath is the true Lord’s
day for mankind (Mark 2:28).
2) The
resurrection of Jesus is not honoured by keeping Sunday. Biblical and
secular evidence points to the fact that Jesus rose on a Friday afternoon,
not a Sunday (please refer to our article Jesus’ Resurrection Was NOT On
Sunday!).
Actually, the
substitution of Sunday in place of the Sabbath occurred long before the
first century AD! A similar occurrence had transpired hundreds of years
before in Israel, when that nation was heavily influenced by the inroads of
the religion of Baalism. (Baal means ‘lord’ or ‘master’).
Jezebel’s Rebellion
The Israelites
– the people of God in the Old Testament – were negligent in keeping the
fourth commandment (Ezek 20:12-21; 22:8,26). Of all the commands, it often
seems to be most undesirable for carnal man. Perhaps because it claims so
much of our time which, humanly, we would rather have for ourselves.
After the
secession of the ten tribes of Israel from the rest of the Israelite union
(which left the kingdom of the ‘Jews’ – comprised of Judah, Benjamin and
Levi under the Davidic monarch), Jeroboam led the rebel northern Israelite
nation further into idolatry by instituting an eighth-month festival in
place of the seventh-month Feast of Tabernacles (1 Kings 12:33; Lev
23:33,34). In the Hebrew calendar this occurs about the time of the modern
pagan Hallowe’en, and may have something to do with its origin.
Over the
subsequent decades, the nation drifted further into idolatry and began to
embrace Baalism wholesale under the reign of Ahab, whose wife’s name was
Jezebel. Elijah contested with Ahab, king of Israel, over the illicit
rights of Baal-worshippers as opposed to those of the oppressed minority who
wanted to worship the true God, Yahweh. Baal-worship and other associated
heathen practices were so prevalent, they had become the dominant religious
influences by that time.
The outcome of
Elijah’s famous duel is described in 1 Kings chapter 18. Elijah called down
fire from heaven which consumed the sacrifice to Yahweh. Elijah’s exploits
could not be matched by the pagans, so the false prophets were slaughtered
en masse.
Despite the
obvious fact that Yahweh was the only God worthy of worship and that Baal
was a mere figment of men’s imaginations, the attitudes of the evil king and
his notorious wife did not change. If anything, they got worse!
Jezebel was
probably the most evil woman described in the Bible. She was deliberately
deceptive. She had an innocent, law-abiding man killed at her command so
that she and her husband could possess the fruits of his hard labours (1
Kings 21). She purposely falsified the truth and had Naboth
(whose name means prominence) put to death. Her character was so
marred that seeing innocent blood spilled did not trouble her.
The spiritual
parallel with Thyatira is unavoidable. Thyatira also had a ‘Jezebel’
within the Church. The spirit of Jezebel was one of deliberate
falsification of the truth in order to lead astray. The motive? One
of selfish gain. The majority preferred to accommodate pagan traditions
which later included keeping Sunday, than be faithful to biblical truth
which involved keeping the Sabbath.
What Thyatira
was guilty of, was the tolerance of evil heresies within the Church. The
substitution of the Sabbath by Sunday was flagrantly idolatrous. Many of
those who promoted such a change knew better! Scripture, or scriptural
customs, cannot be changed for the sake of personal whims and fancies, or
for private convenience because of the difficulties of the times. The
command- ments of God are not alterable as long as night and day exist (Ex
31:13,17 and Matt 5:18).
Instead of
accepting the consequences of adhering strictly to pure biblical truth, some
in Thyatira compromised. They allowed the truth of the Sabbath to become
watered down with the Sunday substitute.
“The last day
of the week was strictly kept in connection with that of the first day for a
long time after the overthrow of the temple and its worship” (Ancient
Christianity Exemplified, Chap 26, Sec 2, by Lyman Coleman).
Some embraced
the ‘new teaching’ entirely; some partially. One way some hurdled this
obstacle was by keeping both days:
Unfortunately,
keeping two days does not properly fulfil the fourth commandment, because
half of the command is to work for six days of each week. It was a
compromise. There ought to be no compromise with heresy!
The same
author admits:
“Down even to
the fifth century the observance of the Jewish Sabbath was continued in the
Christian church, but with a rigour and solemnity gradually diminishing
until it was wholly discontinued” (Ibid).
Satan’s ‘Deep Secrets’
In AD 321
Constantine attempted to put an end to the controversy by establishing
Sunday as the ‘official’ day of rest. He claimed to have embraced
Christianity.
“Let all the
judges and town people, and the occupation of all trades, rest on the
venerable day of the sun; but let those who are situated in the country,
freely and at full liberty attend to the business of agriculture, because it
often happens that no other day is so fit for sowing corn and planting
vines; lest, the critical moment being let slip, men should lose the
commodities granted by heaven. Given the seventh day of March [7th March, AD
321], Crispus and Constantine being consuls, each of them for the second
time” (Corpus Juris Civillis God, lib. 3, tit. 12,3).
Eusebius,
bishop of the Church in Constantinople during this time, added in his
Commentary on The Psalms, “All things whatsoever that it was duty to do on
the Sabbath, these we have transferred to the Lord’s day.”
However, God
made no such transfer. Men did!
Not only was
the true biblical Sabbath illegally abrogated in favour of a pagan custom,
so too were other correct biblical traditions. The Church lost sight of the
Passover, which became supplanted by an unbiblical name, ‘Lord’s Supper’ or
‘Communion’. The Days of Unleavened Bread with which the early Church was
familiar were replaced by Easter and Lent. Pentecost was substituted with
what has now become Whit Sunday, and the other God-ordained Festivals given
to Israel were abandoned equally illicitly.
Thus, correct
‘Hebrew’ tradition which Jesus passed on to the Church was gradually
forgotten, and the customs of Babylonian mystery religions took their place.
These were the ‘deep secrets’ of Satan – many of which were customs the
wicked Jezebel had supported in Israel a millennium earlier. Satan had used
similar tactics before to infiltrate and destroy God’s model Old Testament
nation. Now he was employing them with increased subtlety to infiltrate and
spiritually destroy the Church.
Footnote:
Constantine
Christian or Charlatan?
When he became
a ‘Christian’, the Roman emperor Constantine issued an edict granting
everyone in the empire the right to determine the religion of his choice.
This was a dramatic turnaround from the ghastly victimisation of Christians
of preceding centuries, when they were tortured, torn apart by lions,
barbarously crucified and denied human rights.
Constantine
abolished death by crucifixion and caused the vicious persecutions against
Christians to cease. Why such a dramatic reversal? Had the Roman emperor
truly become a Christian?
Jesus tells us
quite plainly that a person’s inner motives are revealed by the fruits of
their life (Matt 7:15-20). History records that, even after his
‘turnaround’, Constantine murdered both his wife and one of his sons. “No
murderer has eternal life abiding in him” (1 Jn 3:15).
“Constantine’s
first marriage was to Minervina, by whom he had a son named Crispus. His
second wife, Fausta, bore him three daughters and three sons. Crispus became
an outstanding soldier and help to his father. Yet, in 326 – very shortly
after directing the Nicene Council – he had his son put to death. The story
is that Crispus had made love to Fausta. At least this was the accusation of
Fausta. But this may have been her method of getting him out of the way, so
one of her sons might have claim to the throne! Constantine’s mother,
however, persuaded him that his wife “had yielded to his son”. Constantine
had Fausta suffocated to death in an overheated bath. About this same time
he had his sister’s son flogged to death and her husband strangled – even
though he had promised he would spare his life” (From The Story of
Civilisation: Caesar and Christ, p 66, by Durant, quoted in Babylon
Mystery Religion – Ancient and Modern, p 48, by Ralph E. Woodrow).
Durant asks:
“Was his conversion sincere – was it an act of religious belief, or a
consummate stroke of political wisdom?” He answers his own question: “Probably
the latter … He seldom conformed to the ceremonial requirements of
Christian worship. His letters to Christian bishops make it clear that he
cared little for the theological differences that agitated Christendom –
though he was willing to suppress dissent in the interests of imperial
unity. Throughout his reign he treated the bishops as his political aides;
he summoned them, presided over their councils, and agreed to enforce
whatever opinion their majority should formulate. A real believer would have
been a Christian first and a statesman afterward; with Constantine it was
the reverse. Christianity was to him a means, not an end” (Durant, pp
655,656).
Rather than
destroying Christianity in the empire, the fires of persecution had only
served to inflame passion and further the interests of the persecuted, not
the persecutor. “Constantine knew this. Instead of the empire constantly
being divided – with pagans in conflict with Christians – why not take such
steps as might be necessary to mix elements of both religions
together, he reasoned, and thereby bring a united force to the empire? There
were similarities between the two religious systems … The Christianity of
Constantine was a mixture. Though he had his statue removed from pagan
temples and renounced the offering of sacrifices to himself, yet people
continued to speak of the divinity of the emperor. As pontifex maximus he
continued to watch over the heathen worship and protect its rights. In
dedicating Constantinople in 330, a ceremonial that was half pagan and half
Christian was used. The chariot of the sun god was set in the marketplace
and over it the cross. Coins made by Constantine featured the cross, but
also representations of Mars or Apollo. While professing to be a Christian,
he continued to believe in pagan magic formulas for the protection of crops
and the healing of disease. All these things are pointed out in The
Catholic Encyclopaedia. Yet, the practice of Constantine – the concept
of mixture – was clearly the method whereby the Catholic church developed
and became rich and increased with goods” (Babylon Mystery Religion,
pp 49,50, by Ralph E. Woodrow).
It was this
deliberate deceitful mixing of Christian truth with paganism – syncretism –
for which Thyatira’s Jezebel was condemned.
DEAD BOY RAISED!
As I have
already explained, the Church is in error in not keeping the fourth
commandment as God stated it from the beginning. I am not stating this
humanly, but as a prophet of God, I represent Him in this assertion.
The false
substitution of Sunday to replace the Sabbath, and the teachings that
support this illicit change, are Jezebel influences.
That I do not
speak for myself but for God, I give you a sign. It is the raising of
the dead. There will be as many as 50 people raised from the dead in the
near future, to verify my words.
One has
already occurred. In Aba, Abia State, Nigeria, God has raised a 2-year-old
boy through the ministry of an evangelist who uses our publications
extensively to promote aspects of God’s Truth that the majority of churches
lack. In June 2002, God performed this miracle, not through the ministry of
Benny Hinn, or Reinhard Bonnke, or any other ‘big name’ evangelist. He
honoured a humble Sabbath-keeping evangelist named David Isaac Ohuoba. David
related:
“I started
telling them about one of Midnight Ministries’ powerful books entitled
Testing The Spirits... The Bible says dogmatically that God is the
Healer (Ex 15:26; Ps 103:3)... Miracles of healing at Christian meetings and
evangelistic campaigns where they occur in the name of Jesus, are bona fide
miracles of God, done to glorify Jesus. He died to pay the price for our
deliverance (Is 53:45).
“Restoring
pure biblical truth is much less exciting than seeing miracles occur in
front of your eyes. It’s no wonder that signs and wonders can relegate the
restoration of biblical truth to the back row of the church. [David’s love
for the purity of God’s truth is second to none. The restoration of God’s
truth in the Church is top on his priority list!]
“So, at
sundown we prayed... I was there with them [the parents of Chimereucheya,
the little boy who had died] for four days. At midnight, as I was
praying... I referred to what He did to Elisha in the book of 2nd Kings
4:18-32.
“As I was
praying, challenging God that He is still God - the same today - God
restored the life of this boy. Immediately he started crying, and calling
for his mother, but he could not walk or stand.
“We started
praying day and night with your wonder books Faith and Healing, Listening
To God, and Witnessing For Christ. We did 3 nights and 3 days.
Then this boy started to walk on his own. Praise God! Normal blood pressure
was restored and we discovered that the boy was not seeing... Then I read
Luke 18:35-41. Verse 42 said, “And Jesus said unto him, ‘Receive thy sight:
thy faith hath saved thee.’ And immediately he received his sight.”
“People, when
they saw it happen here, gave praise to God. This miracle was covered with a
photograph as I was giving back the boy to his mother. Praise to God.”
The document
was signed by: David Isaac Ohuoba (evangelist); Eberechi Dick (father);
Uchechi Dick (mother).
This boy was completely
restored on 22nd June 2002, the Sabbath day, which depicts our spiritual
restoration! God wants the knowledge of His Sabbaths restored too, and
Jezebel ousted!
