Ride the waves of Latter Rain: http://latter-rain.com
This was written in the early 1900's by the man through which
God birthed many new
works of His Spirit in people's lives and in the corporate life of the Church.
His message
and warnings are as revelant to us today, as they were to the Church in its
early stages
of the Latter Rain. I consider this a prophetic word, although it wasn't given
as such.
"Don't go out of here talking about tongues; talk about
Jesus," Seymore would say.
We should be glad that we have signs and wonders and manifestations of the Holy
Spirit. We should praise God for every person that prophesies and speaks with
tongues and interprets, every one that heals and gets healed. The five-fold
ministry
is for today and every day, for each pastor, each evangelist, each bishop, each
member
of His body, thank God for all these things. But hear me now end-time church;
if you
can't put away your schismatic, traditional, separatist, puritan, right-wing
judgmental,
ignorant, calvinist, illiberal, oppressive, pharisee ways toward those Christians
who are
not saints, God will pass you by even in these last days and choose the ones
who can.
Please heed my words because I love you and have ears to hear what the spirit
is
saying to the churches.
