Again we see this fifth stage in our key verse, 2Chronicles 7:14, “...will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways...”Itwouldseemthatbythisstage,Godwouldknowwehaveabandoned our sin. The issue, however, is somethingdeeper;itdealswithourways.

For the Furtherance of the Gospel — Cont. from page �

A friend once told me about an acquaintance ofhers who left a church where the Spirit was movingto go to a denominational church because it was“predictable.” Many have left their stations in thework of God as a result of saying “no” to the HolySpirit—“I’ll go this far, but no farther.” These havegoneouttoliveand/orministeratthatlevelandbelow.Aswetalked,Ifelt thatsomeofthesewhohavebeenset aside to wander for “40 years in the wilderness”with leanness in their souls will be drawn back in.

All these who have been side-tracked by theirown lusts and rendered ineffective by the accuserof the brethren will return, repentant, to bring in thegreat harvest now at hand. They have already beentrained in the things of God and are the captivesspoken of in The Final Quest by Rick Joyner. Weare on the verge of their rescue and restoration.

Whilewewerediscussing these issues, IsuddenlysawintheSpiritahuge,atomicmushroomcloud.Youmay know that people at ground zero in Hiroshimaand Nagasaki were simply “vaporized” and all thatremainedofthemwastheirshadow,etchedinthewallsofthenearbybuildings.AsIsawthemushroomcloud,theLordbegantopourthefollowingmessageintome:

We are at ground zero of an “atomic” explosionof God’s mighty, heretofore unseen power. All theknown and predictable of God’s power, includingall the miracles of the Bible (the parting of the Red

Sea, the sun standing still in the Valley of Aijalon,the creative miracles of the Gospels and the book ofActs)will be like the commonlyknownatomsbeforetheyaresplittoreleasetheenergyoftheatomicbomb.

When that explosion takes place, everything atground zero, everything “normal” will be vaporizedand a pillar of the “predictable”/known/Biblicalmiracles will billow/shoot upward. But then asplittingof thoseknownmiracleswilloccur,releasingthe unknown power of God to form the top of themushroom cloud, billowing out above the pillar ofthe known, to reach far beyond the known into thereaches of the domain seen by Ezekiel, Daniel andJohntheRevelator—intothatwhichPauldescribedas“unlawful [impossible] tobeuttered” (IICor.12:2-4).

Those who will cling only to the “normal” willbe “vaporized” and disappear from the scene. Thosewhowill layasidetheirneedtocontrolandwillyieldto God, will reach into this explosion of God’s gloryand be catapulted into miracle ministry. And thosewhowillbewillingtoletGodshatterandsmashtheirpreconceived understanding of God, will be changedinto the image of the resurrected Christ. They willreceive their glorified bodies with their anatomicalstructure rearranged at the atomic/molecular level—restoring the power of God to each atom. They willcome and go like the wind and pass through wallslike Jesus in His glorified body. These will be usedin the power and demonstration of God’s unknownpower to be vessels of miracles heretofore unknown.
