On sunday March 26, 2006 there were about two dozen people that were baptised. There were about 18 kids, a few adults and a lady that was 86 years old. I fought back tears as did the worship leader, the Spirit of God was very present.
"You see some people being baptised, but I see fresh seeds being planted. These seeds are being planted for the coming revival, for I will send revival, both on the young and the old. From the East to the West, to the furthest corners of the world, I will send revival."
As I am typing this I am listening to Michael W Smith's "Healing Rain", is you have not heard it, get the CD! It is what God is about to do.
Yes there is a revival coming. But do not look for it in the big cities or in the mega churches. To find it you will need to travel to the jungles of Brazil, the the Islands of the Pacific, to the smallest villages in China, to Southernmost Mexico. God is sending revival to the most unlearned, the most remote, the most in need. This is to provoke the church to jealousy. We think we have it all, but really we are poor, naked, and ashamed. We are so far from where God would have us, and we are totally blinded to the truth. But revival is happening where people are willing to sell all that they have, and to lay down their lives for the Gospel! His call to the church is to return to our first love. Yes sin abounds, and it abounds in the church, and our love has grown cold, so cold that we do not even see it.
Some have asked for this prophecy, I do not remember who gave it. "I am soon to release a new breed of pioneers and missionaries on the face of the earth." I know I am a part of that "new breed". One important change is that some have gone from establishing one Bible school to running dozens and even hundreds of Bible Schools! My brother Fred Davis had a Bible school in the Ivory Coast. However the civil war (it is actually Moslems trying to take over the country) forced him to leave the country. He then went into a nearby country and started a Bible school there. Then another country, and then another. The solution is to use ISOM (International School of Ministry) Video Bible Schools. Their web site is at www.isom.org My brother now has over 36 Video Bible schools and he travels from country to country teaching for a week at one of the schools, then on to the next school.
I have been involved in the Video Bible School movement since 2004. I was asked by Brick Cliff to make a promo video to use to promote the video Bible schools in Mexico. He now has over 200 schools that he is running. Then later I was asked to convert them from Video CD's to DVD's. My brother had converted some video tapes to CD's. My brother Fred is also recording additional classes on Romans and Covenants. Brick Cliff is doing additional classes on Preaching.
Now for the next step. I do not know what it is but I have had a few prophetic hints as to what is coming up. I only post a small sampling of prophecy on this website, there is a whole lot more that cannot be publically released as of yet. This summer I am offering my help to Elim churches that need help with sound, video, projectors, or whatever technical help they may need. However I think it will go much much further. I am waiting on God to fill in the details.
I can say that if somehow I end up being a pastor again, and that would be a major miracle in itself, then I would make it my goal to lead a missions trip every year. That would be not just because I would rather be a missionary, but also because that is what a pastor should do. Sheep if left in one field will eventually eat all of the grass then huddle together and starve to death. The shepherd must lead them to new pastures. Likewise most churches eventually introvert themselves to death and do not reach out. The pastor must show them the other fields that must be reached. If the church does not reach out it will die.
Recently on Fox news O'Reilly had a talk about the Moslem extremists. I was asked to put together a power point presentation around it. Below is the text from http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184099,00.html However my conclusion was that the Moslem extremists were not the real problem. The real problem is the DEAD CHURCHES!!! Some of the Moslems were holding up signs saying things like "Be Prepared for the real Holocaust", "Buthcer Those who Mock Islam" and "Slay those who insult Islam". Someone said that "Islam is a peacefull religion and you have better learn to respect that or else." Yea, I get the point. A few years back the Communists were saying the same things. If we all became Communists there would be world peace. The only catch is that there would be no world to experience the supposed peace.
"Angry Muslims rioted in Beirut, burning the Danish embassy over some political cartoons in the Danish press that mock suicide bombers using images of Muhammad. Once again, the hair trigger rage of some Muslims is on display for the world. And if you don't think this is a danger to the planet, then you're not living on the planet. For a variety of reasons, many Muslims are willing to die in a jihad for just about any reason. You may remember the erroneous Newsweek report about the Koran abuse in Guantanamo Bay that led to 16 deaths and dozens of injuries. Paris burned a few months ago, as Muslims rioted over perceived bad treatment by the French. And all over the world, Islamic matches are out, ready to be lighted at almost any provocation. In Europe, millions of Muslims have set up their own quasi- states. Their allegiance primarily to Islam. And again, these people will fight and die for their religion. But many Europeans are not willing to fight because they have nothing to fight for! Organized religion has collapsed throughout much of Europe. And personal safety is put above any cause. Thus, Europe is generally weak in the face of growing Islamic ferocity with the exception of Great Britain."
