Chapter 12

A MASSIVE NUMBER OF CHRISTIANS ARE EXPERIENCING A STRANGE MIRACLE

And we are discovering that this was predicted—in detail.

The Holy Spirit is separating them. He has selected them for special grace and power to accomplish mighty acts at the edge of history. They will be uniquely equipped to face the sophisticated evil of our time. But it all begins by making peace with the Holy Spirit and restoring His rightful place in our hearts and in the Church.

Take a close look at the Book of Acts and you will see the disarming, down-to-earth way that first-century believers related to the Holy Spirit. While they revered Him deeply, they had a sense of His nearness and His involvement in their day-to-day operations. They behaved as if He was so near that they could almost see Him. Most of all, they anticipated His instructions.

As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus (Acts 13:2-4).

Millions are now hearing the same call: “Separate unto Me!” The Holy Spirit told David Wilkerson about this coming separation and how pockets of prophetic people would huddle together across our nation. He said:

God-hungry people are saying among themselves, “This is not it. There is something more. The bigness and the sensationalism of it all has left us empty and dry. We want more. More than entertainment. More than big, showy buildings. More than a shallow celebrity gospel. We want deeper values. We want to see Jesus. We want spotless robes of righteousness. We want to go back to doing things in total dependence on God.”1

Many of these people were chased out of churches that were once fiery, Spirit-filled churches that had taken on a new “seeker-friendly” format. They saw their church now focused on church growth, downplaying the presence of the Holy Spirit, and programs designed for the sole purpose of attracting outsiders. They felt punished for wanting a move of God.

They are fed up with the world system—especially when they see it operating in the Church.

They can’t stomach the glitzy entertainment centers anymore. They believe we have no time to play games. They are frustrated that the Church is catering to the lukewarm members.

They are done with egocentric preachers with grandiose, expensive, and carnal visions that have nothing to do with soul-winning or revival. They accuse these preachers of being distracted—even derailed from their first love. Disciples are abandoning “attraction” churches, and in their hearts something revolutionary is happening. God is starting a fresh movement.

David Wilkerson explained more of what he saw coming: “God is revealing to all praying people that a glorious new work of the Spirit is about to break forth. God is going to shake everything that can be shaken. He will tear down the old political, backslid-den, ecclesiastical system.
