At the Everyday Angels seminar two weeks ago, Charity Kayembe gave a significant insight into Jesus’ commission to the disciples: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8
Charity pointed out what a witness is: one who has seen something. Many years ago, I witnessed a car accident. A car ran off the road and…

In his book Angels, Billy Graham tells the story told by Reverend John G. Paton, a missionary in the South Pacific in the New Hebrides Islands.
One night Paton and his wife were threatened by hostile natives who surrounded their mission headquarters, planning to burn the Patons out and kill them. They prayed throughout the night asking God to protect them from harm. When daylight came, they were amazed that the warriors had left without attacking them.

My friend Paul was a long-haul transport driver for Home Hardware. Several years ago, while driving through a blizzard in the Alberta Rockies, he found himself fatigued, to the point that he began to drift into sleep. He pulled to the side of the road to rest. He was so drowsy that he didn’t realize the truck was still moving. After a short time, the big transport lurched to a halt, and he was jolted awake at the shock. He cried out to the Lord, “Oh Lord help me!”

“Thus sayeth the Lord…” It was the first time I had ever heard a prophetic word. And it was in King James English! God speaks King James English?! I found it hard to believe. Was this the God I knew? I had been on edge for many reasons in this meeting. This was many years ago, when as a teenager, I joined Cheryl’s family for some meetings that were very outside the box of my experience. People were raising their hands, worshipping with a passion I had never seen before. There was energy in the room, or was it my mixture of fear and uncertainty because it was all new? I wasn’t sure, but I knew that there was something real here. And God was speaking! It made me hungry for more, even if God spoke King James English!

For those who had the privilege of being with us Palm Sunday, wasn’t it an amazing time of worship with our children at the front waving palm branches? So good! We had a glimpse of what it would have been like as Jesus entered Jerusalem. The simplicity of a child’s worship! With all that is happening in the world today, we may be asking ourselves, “What are we to do?” We have our answer. God painted a picture for us: Worship!

I had an encouraging word from the Lord this past week, which I believe is for all of us. The Lord showed me a picture of some of what He is doing right now. I saw a large staff moving in circles across Canada: back and forth, back and forth. Stirring, stirring, stirring. Huge grey dust clouds were being formed. It looked like grey whirlwinds covering all of the provinces, with a long, tall staff moving in the midst, coming from heaven to earth. As I watched, I could feel a tremendous hunger for the presence of God being stirred up as well.

We need the word of the Lord in these days of shaking. As the Lord instructed us in 1 Cor. 14:1 we should “desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.” Prophecy is a gift, but are we willing to accept prophecy in the package that it comes in? Often, we aren’t. There was a time when I wasn’t.

I heard a statistic this week about the high percentage of Canadians who have anxiety because of the upheaval around us. However, we as believers can be encouraged when we focus on what is most important. We can get encouragement from a significant prophecy that David Ruis gave at the Catch the Fire conference in October of 1994. This was the height of the revival, where many were saved, healed and empowered. People would line up at church for hours in order to get a good seat. People came from around the world, making it the number one tourist attraction in Toronto. God’s power was so intense that many were overcome for hours on end. Hotels that hosted conference guests had guests strewn out in the lobby under the power of God. Hotel staff would avoid conference attendees in fear that it was contagious. And it was.
