In the dream that I had night before last . . .  Bro. West interviews me sometimes to get things out of me.  And he started asking me questions last night about my dream.  And I started sharing it and then I choked up.  I couldn't talk anymore.

I said, "I'm sorry.  I can't talk anymore about it."  And I'm still writing, still putting it down.  Paul is very concerned that I'm not going to remember it.  But amazingly, Paul, the Lord just brings it back.  It really comes back.  I praise the Lord for that.

He's just kind of kidding, but he said, "Perhaps this afternoon you should sit down and let me video you telling the dream and then I'll take it home and play it for the church."

I said, "No, no, no, no, no, no."

But it was . . .  You know, I'm almost ready to call it more than a dream.  I'm almost ready to say that it was a night vision.  Because it came with such detail.  I've always been a dreamer, but it came with such detail.  

I was sharing a little bit of it with Bro. Kary.  And I said, "It was just more than a dream.  It was more like a night vision."

And he said, "You mean literally in the dream you spoke with the seven church age messengers?"  

I said, "Just as literally as I've ever spoken to anybody in my life."  The apostle Paul was sitting at one end of the table.  The last church age messenger was sitting at the other end of the table.  There were three on the other side and two on this side with their backs toward me when I walked into the room.  

And it was as though I was just dumped into the room.  And I was so aware of the fact that "I shouldn't be here.  This is an important meeting going on."  I didn't yet know who it was.  I didn't yet recognize or even see the people.  I just recognized I was dumped into this conference room.  

And I was starting to try to retreat and withdraw when I was called over to the table.  And they said, "We have some things we want to . . .  We're glad you're here.  We have some things we want to talk to you about."  It was very casual - very, very casual - just like an old friend had walked in.

But I was feeling very strange about being in a meeting like this.  The only thing I want to tell now is the apostle Paul I recognized as I recognized the last church age messenger.  I looked straight to the other end of the table.  I've never seen Paul, but I knew in the Spirit that it was the apostle Paul.

I've never dreamed of Paul like that before.  He was dressed in the costume of his time.  And he stood up, he pushed his chair away from the table, he walked over to where I was, he put his right hand in the small of my back and he said, "Walk with me.  I want to talk to you."

And I felt his hand.  He kept his hand right there on my lower back, and we walked down toward the end of this conference room where there was a bench sitting.  He sat down.  He said, "Let's sit down here."

He sat down first.  I sat down beside him.  He put his right hand over on my knee and he said, "It's a terrible thing to be misunderstood."  And I looked at his . . .  I mean, I . . .  You know, this is . . .  "Why am I here?  Why are you telling me this?"        

And he talked for a long time about being misunderstood, misunderstanding.  And you know, I guess we could say . . .  Of a lot of people in the Bible, would you all vote that Paul has been greatly misunderstood?  

His eyes were all glassy like he was about to cry.  And have you ever felt misunderstood?  I have.  I sure was encouraged when he leaned his head like this and looked over at me and he said . . .  I said, "Why are you telling me this?"  He leaned over like this and he said, "I know you'll understand."

For a split second, I thought to myself, "I'm a counselor to the apostle Paul.  He's come to tell me his troubles.  This is bigger than me."  And honestly . . . I hate to be carnal about it . . . but I honestly remember thinking, "Oh God, please don't let me wake up from this dream."

Have you ever been in a dream, you felt like it was the Lord and you were disturbed?  Well, I have three children.  And it can happen any night, any time.  And maybe if it's really God, you can get back into it, maybe not.

And I actually had about . . . I think it was about this time in the dream that I had this strong feeling, "Oh God, please don't let me wake up from this" . . . or night vision or whatever it was.

But he talked with me about being misunderstood.  And then he talked with me about overcoming in his day and how very, very difficult it was because of all the issues that were facing the believers at one time - the Jewish divisions, the Hellenization of the Greeks . . . you know, this worldly culture of the Greeks.  You're dealing with the extremely religious and the extremely liberal, and you're trying to establish the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the middle of all that.

And really, I felt such compassion for him.  Sis. Margaret wasn't here yesterday so I'll just tell this part 'cause I mentioned this part yesterday.  I've never been a Martin Luther fan.  You know, it's hard to love a man that drinks a lot of beer and hates the Jews.  It's kind of hard, you know.

I've always had this little feeling about him, although I know that God used him.  And probably God used him, as imperfect as he was, to encourage you and I that He can use us, too.  But I've always had a little resentment toward him.  And I was aware of it, but I didn't know really what . . .

How do you deal with resentment you have for somebody that's been dead for hundreds of years?  You know.  So it wasn't a heaven or hell issue, I don't think.  But in this dream when he appeared to me, he sat down and he was even dressed . . . I hate to tell you, but he was dressed in the costume of his day, too.

And as he sat down there he started talking to me about being misunderstood.  And I have to be honest with you.  I didn't feel the compassion for him that I felt for the apostle Paul.  Because I was probably thinking, "You deserve all that you get."

You know, I don't know what I was thinking.  But anyway, he was so humble and so sweet.  His words were so sweet.  He was not at all like his writings.  He railed in some of his writings.  And I thought, "He's a railer."  But he wasn't.  I don't know why he did that.  

He was so humble and so sweet.  I thought, "This could not be the man that said, you know, 'Let all the Christ killers be damned.'  This can't be him."  And yet we understand he did it in the name of religion.  He did it in all that he knew.  

Isn't that amazing that he could be so blind and so dumb about some things, and yet God could give him the greatest revelation, one of the greatest revelations that the world has ever had, "The just shall live by faith," and he brought people out from under a system that is more wicked today than it was in that day?

It's a miracle.  He apologized.  I didn't say this part yesterday, but I recorded it last night.  It became so real.  He said, "I wished I would've known then what I know now.  Things would've been so different."

And immediately I just forgave him.  He was so humble and so sweet.  I had no choice but to forgive him.  And I realize . . .  I'd never thought of that before, but that very simple thing just solved it for me - "I wished I would've known then what I know now."  And I just forgave him.

He was under a wrong influence.  The things he said, he said them in ignorance.  He said them thinking that he was right, and he was wrong.  And if God's forgiven him, I have no choice but to forgive him.

And after he said that, I reached over on the bench and embraced him.  And it was the warmest embrace.  Can you imagine?  I've hugged Martin Luther, hallelujah ? in a dream at least.  It was the warmest embrace.  And I just forgave him.  In fact, I think I felt more kindred with him than maybe some of the others.

But what I wanted to share with you, as we close, was at the end of the dream, it was Brother Branham . . .  I believe Bro. Branham was the messenger to the seventh church age.  And he was there so I must be right.

And after we would . . .  Let me just say this.  After each of us would . . . after we'd be through talking . . .  I didn't say the last word.  I let them say the last word.  And then they would . . . each one would get up and we'd walk back over to the table, and that one would take his place and the next one would get up.

And each one of them would touch me in the same place, around the small of my back there, and just walk with me - just casual, very casual.  We'd sit down.  And we were close enough to the table that I could hear these other men talking while we were away - softly talking, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.  But it wasn't so holy that they just stopped their conversation.  They kept on talking while I was over here with the individual.

I'm not going to share very much.  You should know that already.  But I'm not going to share very much about this.  But this one thing I think is very, very important to those who have an ear to hear it.  

So, Bro. Branham was the last.  He put his hand there.  We walked over.  It was as though he knew me.  There was a nice feeling with all of them - a nice feeling of brotherhood, fraternal affection.

But with Bro. Branham it was as though he knew me and that we had seen each other before.  And I have seen him before in vision and dream.  But there was a real, real, real familiarity as though we had . . .  You know, he just knew what I believed and what I preached, and so forth.

And we sat down.  And he said several things to me.  And guess what he talked about first?  Misunderstanding.  How difficult it is to be misunderstood.  He even said, "It's very difficult to keep the right spirit when people so misunderstand what you're trying to say and do."

And then he talked about how hard it is to overcome in Laodicea and the anointing that is required.  And then I mentioned to you yesterday that he explained that as all the evil of every age was gathered into the last age . . .  He said, "But that's okay, because all the anointing, the anointing to overcome in all the other church ages," he said, "that same anointing has all been gathered together in this day."

So with all the evil that's been gathered in, so there's the anointing gathered in to overcome.  The same anointing that they overcame with in Ephesus, that's been added to this day.  The anointing to overcome -it's here.  It's with us.  

But then he began to talk to me about the prophetic.  And I had given a word some months ago that the prophetic movement was muddy and that there was a clear word coming from the Throne.  He mentioned that prophecy to me as though he was very familiar with it.

I had prophesied that there was a clear Word of the Lord coming like a river from the Throne that was going to push away the dark water, the muddy water of the prophetic movement, and would establish a very clear direct Word from the Lord.

He mentioned that to me.  And we talked about this phrase, this expression, that is so powerful.  It was so powerful in his ministry.  It has been so misused and so abused in the prophetic movement in the last twenty years ? "Thus saith the Lord."

It's one thing to say, "I feel the Lord saying . . .  I see . . .  I feel the Lord showing me such and such."  But when you say, "Thus saith the Lord," you'd better know that it wasn't you.  If you're going to say, "Thus saith the Lord," it better be one hundred percent the Lord and not even a half a percent of you.  Very serious.

Because the Bible said that a prophet who says, "Thus saith the Lord," and adds that to it - "Thus saith the Lord" - and it doesn't happen that way, he should be stoned.  Now we're not going to stone people today, but I'll tell you what we are going to do.

I'll tell you what I'm going to do.  I'm going to quit supporting people with my money.  I'm going to quit buying books of people that say, "Thus saith the Lord," and it's not so.  I'm not going to stone them, but I'm not going to keep supporting them either.

And this was kind of the theme of it.  And all of a sudden, he looked at me.  We talked about the tent vision.  I'm not going to mention that this morning.  We talked about the tent vision, a little bit about the adoption and the manifested sons of God.  

And then he put his hand again . . .  He had had it there before.  He put his hand over on my knee again like the apostle Paul.  He looked me right in the face, he dropped his voice . . .  I don't know why, but the volume of his voice dropped in . . . and he said, "There's something you need to know."

I'm just waiting to see if I should . . .  

And I said, "Yes sir, what is that?"

And he said, "You can tell the people that THUS SAITH THE LORD is coming in."

His eyes just sort of shifted away and his head hung away like that, and I just thought for a second, "I've got to know what it means.  I'd better not wake up.  I'd better not get out of this without knowing what it means.  I've got to know what that means ? THUS SAITH THE LORD is coming in.  What does that mean?"

I was thinking it, and I was deciding how I was going to ask him.  And I said, "Brother Branham . . . ," like that, "Brother Branham . . ."  

And he said, "Oh, you want to know what it means."  I never had the opportunity to ask the question.  I just said, "Brother Branham . . ."  He said, "Oh, you want to know what it means."

And I'll give you his answer.  This is the phrase that he gave me, but I'm going to give you more than the phrase.  This is what he said, but I'm going to give you where he said it in a sermon.

"Nothing can harm Her, not even death; for if the Seed be planted, the water will raise it up again.  Amen."  He said, "(Now, I got a great big 'Hallelujah.')  Here is the secret: . . ."

This is what he answered me.  He looked at me and said . . .

I said, "Brother Branham . . ."  

He said, "Oh, you want to know what it means."  And here's what he spoke to me.  He said to me, "Here is the secret: . . ."

And I didn't know that that was even in the Message of the Hour.  I mean, I didn't know that it came like that.  I've read this sermon.  And guess what sermon it is?  The very first sermon I ever heard Bro. Branham preach in my life ? "The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed."

And here's what he said to me.  "Here is the secret: the Word is in the Bride and the mind of Christ to know what He wants done with the Word, and She does it in His Name."  That's what he said.

And then he finished with this, "She has THUS SAITH THE LORD."  And then he said to me, which is not in this quote . . .  He said to me again, "THUS SAITH THE LORD is coming in."

Now let me finish the quote.  Let me read it again and then finish it.  "Here is the secret: the Word is in the Bride and the mind of Christ to know what he wants done with the Word, and She does it in His name.  She has THUS SAITH THE LORD."

Who is she?  The real Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And listen, when THUS SAITH THE LORD is really manifested among the Bride of Jesus Christ, it's not going to be just, "I see this" and "I see that" and "I saw the other" and "I feel this" and "I feel that."  It will be a pure, clear Word of God for the hour that we're living in right now.  

God said, "I'm going to do this, thus saith the Lord," and it happens.  We need that.  I believe that was the clear stream that I saw flowing out of the Throne that was pushing away the muddy water.

"What are you trying to say?"  I'm trying to say that I believe . . . what I heard in the dream . . . I believe that God was saying that the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ in the earth is about to raise up with THUS SAITH THE LORD.  And what she says is going to happen.  I believe that.

And here Bro. Branham was saying in 1963, or '62, "She's got it.  The Bride has it."  We just haven't come to the place of using it fully.  Now let me finish this quote, if you don't mind.

He said, "Here is the secret: the Word is in the Bride and the mind of Christ to know what He wants done with the Word . . ." (how the Word should be handled, amen?)  ". . . and She does it in His name.  She has THUS SAITH THE LORD.

"Then it is germitized; so the Holy Spirit waters it until it is grown and serves it purpose. They do only His will.  No one can persuade them different.  They have THUS SAITH THE LORD, or they keep still."

Won't that be the day?  That God raises up a people who are sensitive enough, they've got a pure enough stream from the Throne, that "It's THUS SAITH THE LORD or I'm staying right here.  I'm not going if it's not THUS SAITH THE LORD."

You know, that's what God was telling me in 2000 - "I don't want you to go unless you know I'm sending you" - trying to get me ready for a time, THUS SAITH THE LORD or they keep still.  Amen.  I want to say "Amen" on the keeping still.

We need a . . .  Somebody said, "Oh, we need more movement."  No.  We need more stillness so that God can move.  There's too much ministry movement already.  There's too much fleshly movement already.

There's too much prophecy that comes out of the spirit of man already.  There are too many bean dreams that are leading the church already.  We need THUS SAITH THE LORD or the Bride keeps still.  And then what is the rest of that quote?

"Then they will do the works of God."  I want you to think about the things that we see happening in pockets.  Martina is down in Jericho today for a few days.  And we hear reports, like everybody does, of . . .  There's some good things.  There must . . .  It seems like there's some powerful things happening in Jericho among the Arab people.

I trust that it's so.  The reports at least are good reports that they're coming.  The Arab people are coming and saying, "Pray for my son, he's sick.  Come to my house and pray.  And we want Jesus to do this and that."

It seems like it's good.  Pockets.  We hear of great things that are happening in meetings around the world.  Heidi Baker . . .  Listen.  Some of the things that they say are going on in Mozambique are outstanding - Bible days again.

I've not been there to see it with my own eyes, but I know several people that have.  And they tell me that just recently they brought a baby that had died to Heidi Baker and her team in Mozambique, her husband and her team.

And the baby had died and had been pronounced dead.  And that they held that baby.  And if I've got it right, they didn't pray.  In fact, the testimony was they were so overwhelmed with love for that dead child, that dead baby, just a real anointing of love came over that team that nobody could really say, "I give you your life," or "Come back in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."

But there was such love and compassion for this dead child that they held in their arms.  And the report is . . .  I think it comes very substantiated and not just some rumor or gossip.  But they're documenting it and releasing the miracle that right there while those people were feeling that great overwhelming love for that child that the baby came back to life.  That's outstanding.

Now, that's outstanding.  And you know what?  I'm the sort of person that I'd rather believe it than doubt it.  I thank God.  I'm not boasting, but I thank God that's the spirit He's given me.  Lord, please don't let me lose that spirit.  Because it's rare.

I don't meet too many people that have that, whatever it is.  I don't know if you'd call it a gift or not.  But when I hear that somebody says God has done something, it's easier for me to believe that He has done it, than He's not done it.

There's a lot of things I don't agree with that I hear about going on.  But I still say, "All right.  If they . . ."  How do you argue with somebody that says, "I saw God do such and such."  Oh, thank God.  Hallelujah.

But listen.  That's just pockets.  Okay, a little stirring in Jericho, a stirring in Mozambique, a stirring where Reinhard Bonnke goes and some of these other things that are going on . . .  We hear these wonderful reports.  Praise God for all of them.  Hallelujah.

People are being helped.  We thank the Lord for that.  But that's not all.  That's the earnest.  We're just seeing pockets of what God wants to do.  What is going to happen when He raises up a Bride of people all over the world and they have within them THUS SAITH THE LORD?                                                

I don't know whether you'll agree or not.  But I've got a feeling that when this manifests, these long nights of agonizing intercession may be over.  That's going to put some preachers out of business.  Some ministries will go out of business because their emphasis is intercession.

And I believe in it.  I believe in intercession.  And I intercede in the Spirit, and I believe it's very, very important.  But I think it's a little dangerous to base everything on intercession, because I'm looking for something greater than that.

In 1906 we celebrate the restoration of the gifts.  But I'm looking for something greater than the gifts of the Spirit.  I'm looking for the full manifestation of the Giver.  I appreciate the prophecy that was given over me.  I need it.  I needed that Word from the Lord.

I'm not just looking for the gift of wisdom or gifts of words of knowledge.  But a declaration was made, "I'm going to fill you with the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of knowledge."  This is how Jesus operated in His ministry.

Jesus wasn't just flowing merely in gifts of the Spirit.  He was possessed.  He was filled with the Spirit of . . .  He was the Spirit of wisdom.  He was the Spirit of knowledge.  There is something greater than the gifts of the Spirit.  And that's the full manifestation of the Giver.

There is something greater than all-night . . .  And we'd better agonize until we know we've got it.  We'd better intercede all night until we've got it.  We'd better fast and pray until we've got it.  But there is something better than spiritual warfare all night long.  

You know what it is?  THUS SAITH THE LORD.  We can groan and moan and fight devils.  And I've done it and I know what it's about.  And you have, too, fighting demons all night long.  I understand what that's about.  

But I'm really looking forward to a time that I wouldn't kill myself physically fighting demon spirits, but just raise up in the Name of the Lord and the unction THUS SAITH THE LORD and watch God do it, watch every demon flee.

"You really believe that that's what God wants to do?"  I know it.  And I not only know it.  I heard that prophet messenger say, "It's about to come in."  How's it going to come in?  He said it was already with the Bride in 1962.  That's before I was born.  What do you mean, "come in?"

It's going to raise up in us, and we're going to recognize that all we need is in us.  It's there.  God's given us the Word.  He's given us the Anointing.  He's given us THUS SAITH THE LORD.  And He's training us to the place that He'll be able to trust us to use it.

THUS SAITH THE LORD or keep still.  He said, "They will do the works of God."  Amen.  "For it is Himself in them, continuing His Word to fulfill as He did complete in His day.  All things when he was here - He did not complete all when He was here, for it was not time yet."

That's another subject altogether.  Huh?  Here's another little quote.  "God is uniting His Bride.  She's coming together from the east and the west, from the north and south.  There's a uniting time . . .  What's she uniting for?  The rapture!"  

If you don't believe in the Rapture then just don't worry about it.  "God's getting her ready.  Yes, sir, uniting, what's She uniting with?  With the Word.  'For all heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away.'"

Listen at what he said, "She's uniting herself with THUS SAITH THE LORD regardless of what any denomination or anybody else says.  She's uniting herself.  Why?  She is the Bride.  And She's united Herself with Her Bridegroom, and the Bridegroom is the Word."

And in the "Perganean Church Age" . . .  I'll close.  The "Church Age of Pergamos" - "Therefore nothing can harm her . . ."  "Notice," he said, "the harmony of the Father and the Son.  Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father.  John 5:19."

"This harmony is now to exist . . ."  Oh, this is good for me.  I must be old school.  This is so, so good to me.  "This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His Bride."  What harmony?  The same kind of harmony and unity that existed between the Father and the Son.  The oneness that existed between the Father and the Son.  

"This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His Bride.  He shows her His Word of life.  She receives it.  She never doubts it.  Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death.  For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again.

"Here is the secret of this.  The Word is in the Bride (as it was in Mary).  The Bride has the mind of Christ for She knows what He wants done with the Word.  She performs the command of the Word in His name for She has THUS SAITH THE LORD.

"Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass.  Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving it's purpose.  Those in the Bride do only His will.  No one can make them do otherwise.  They have THUS SAITH THE LORD or they keep still.

"They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling His own Word.  He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the Bride.  She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do.  But He will now fulfill through the Bride that work which He left for this specific time.  

"Here is the secret: the Word is in the Bride and the mind of Christ to know what He wants done with the Word.  And She does it in His name.  She has THUS SAITH THE LORD."

I'm ready for THUS SAITH THE LORD to come in.  Hallelujah.  How many of you want to see something like that?

Lord, we want to see THUS SAITH THE LORD come in and raise us up and work through us.  Oh Lord, it's a dangerous thing - the prophetic misdiagnosis, conflicting words, sometimes people prophesying from their own spirit, dreaming vain dreams and declaring them to be the Word of the Lord.

And we don't want to be critical.  We just want to be wise.  We want to be careful.  We want to know that we know that we know that we know that we're hearing from heaven.  And the only way we're going to be able to know is when that pure stream of THUS SAITH THE LORD comes.  We'll know it because we're the Bride.

We'll know that it's You, and that's what we're going to move forward with.  Hallelujah.  THUS SAITH THE LORD.  Working the works.  Oh, how we need THUS SAITH THE LORD.  How Jerusalem needs THUS SAITH THE LORD.  All of Israel needs THUS SAITH THE LORD.  The nations of the world - we need that pure unction and word, THUS SAITH THE LORD - clear word.

Oh, God.  We thank You for that ministry of Moses.  He was more than a prophet.  We thank You for the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.  You raised Him up.  He was certainly more than a prophet.  And we thank You, oh God, that it is Your desire to manifest that same kind of ministry among Your people, more than prophets.

Because we not only will dream dreams and see visions, but we believe it is Your desire to speak to Your Bride mouth to mouth, lip to ear.  We believe that it is Your desire to show Yourself to Your Bride - that we don't walk in dark truths and deep secrets, but that all is made plain and made clear and revealed.  Hallelujah.  We're looking for it.  We're looking for it.  (Tongues)  Hallelujah.  

Let's stand together.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Lord, we need it.  We need it, we need it, we need it, we need it.  Blessed be the Name of the Lord.  We need it.  Hallelujah, hallelujah . . .   Oh, come down among us, Lord, and manifest that pure Word that'll put a stop to some of the foolishness that goes on in Your Name.  Oh God, help us.  

Really we have nothing to criticize.  Really we have nowhere we could cast stones because we stand before You undone.  We stand before You in the same condition sometime.  We just are so hungry to hear a Word from You.  We're so hungry sometime to feel Your encouragement and know, oh God, that You're with us.

We're looking for it.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Lord, I thank You for that visitation that took place some months ago - how You sent a messenger, walked into a big charismatic convention, walked over and appeared to two preachers.

You spoke to them.  You said to tell the word that the tent vision was true and that it was soon that God was going to manifest it.  And now, Lord, I thank You.  The last trance vision You lifted me into, I saw that servant of the Lord.

The same word was given, "The time is now."  It's soon.  Time for that tent vision to come.  All the glory . . .  What is that?  It's THUS SAITH THE LORD.  Nobody had to pray for them, agonize for them.  They went in the tent one way, came out the other way.  What is that?  THUS SAITH THE LORD.

That's what we're looking for.  It all ties together.  And now this seventh church age messenger looked me right in the eye and said, (hallelujah) "THUS SAITH THE LORD is coming in."  Oh Father, help us.

I don't even feel like agonizing before You and begging for it.  I just feel like prophesying it, declaring it, rehearsing it, saying it again and again and again and again.  THUS SAITH THE LORD is coming in.  THUS SAITH THE LORD is coming in.  THUS SAITH THE LORD is coming in.  

Let there be a people, oh God, who are found worthy, living a life worthy of the Gospel.  What must we do that we might work the works of God?  We need THUS SAITH THE LORD.  What's going to bring our loved ones around?  THUS SAITH THE LORD.

What's going to bring the resurrection of all mankind?  THUS SAITH THE LORD.  You said it was coming in.  So we don't ask You to do it.  You said You would.  You said You were.  We just ask You to please help us to prepare ourselves.  (Tongues)  

That hour when the people of God change their circumstances with the spoken word of their lips, their circumstances and situations are just changed by the power of the spoken word.  You said to us that that spoken word was so powerful that you could speak a word and a world would be created, you could step out and inhabit that earth.

That's too big for some folks, but I know.  I know.  I understand.  You were just trying to teach us the power of that spoken word and the creative force that's behind it.  It's the same issue of life that said, "Let there be light," and there was light.  That's the same issue that You want to manifest in Your Bride in this hour.

And Lord, we just want that.  Wonderful is the Lord.  Let's love Him.

We love You.  We love You, Lord.  We love You, Lord.  We love You, Lord.  Can You use us?  Can you use us, Lord?  Can You use us?

Is there something we can do?  Is there a Word we can do?  Is there a sacrifice we can make?  Is there somewhere we can go?  What can we do, Lord, to prepare ourselves for THUS SAITH THE LORD?  What can we do?

Lead us.  Guide us.  Direct us.  Move with us and through us.  (Tongues)  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Let that new move of God be born in us.  Let it be a THUS SAITH THE LORD move.  

Let all the counterfeits - the Jannes, the Jambres . . .  Let all that which the devil can seemingly counterfeit . . . oh, let the truth swallow it all up, even like that serpent that came from the staff of Your prophet and swallowed up all the serpents that had been manufactured by the cunning arts of man.  

But in the end . . .  Oh yes, they can duplicate it.  Oh yes, they can duplicate it, but in the end I thank You that the real and the genuine will swallow up every imitator, will swallow up every counterfeit.  But thanks be to God, the very fact that there are counterfeits is proof to us that there is a real, that there is a genuine, and that it has not left the earth.  It is still with Your people.  Hallelujah.

Let the real, let the pure, let the genuine manifest among us.  Yes.  That little unlikely group of people that You've gathered all over the world, that little unlikely group of misfits, that little unlikely group . . .  If anybody looked at them, they'd surely never declare that they were Your Bride.  And yet You've gathered people like that all over the world in every nation, getting them ready for this day.

Oh, yes.  That's what we need in Jerusalem.  That's what we need all over the world - THUS SAITH THE LORD.  THUS SAITH THE LORD.  We need THUS SAITH THE LORD.
