To those hungry for the voice of God; to those that choose to live by every word that proceeds from His mouth, past present and future.

Job 32:8 & 33:15-16.
“In a dream in a vision of the night, I will seal there instructions, to hide it from the pride of man, yes once even twice I will speak to man!

One night at about 4:30 am I was given a dream, by the Lord. In this dream I was standing in a kitchen doing something I couldn't see exactly what, I was busy, I like to cook. Then I heard my father screaming and shouting like a little child, I had never heard him sound like that before, ever, it was so out of character for a retired Fire Captain!

I actually said to myself, is that my Dad, yelling like that? The front door was wide open, my wife went running out first to see what was up, I dropped what I was doing and followed her, curiosity raging in my mind!

As I ran out it was dark and there was a thick cloud covering only a few hundred feet above the houses in the neighborhood and it was raining. My father was standing in the driveway near the street, my wife was standing on the sidewalk, I ran right out into the street.

What was so amazing was that coming right through the clouds were great drops of light ,that's right, I said light, It was raining light! I ran out into it with my hands raised, I was totally awe struck it was awesome. as the drops of light would streak to the earth they appeared like little shooting stars. When each drop would hit the ground it would sparkle for a moment and then go out. I stood out in the middle of it saying, wow, wow, wow, oh man,wow, this is from God!
It was sooo real. when I close my eyes I can still see it as if it just happened!

After just a few minutes I was still standing in the street and began to turn around in circles using colorful metaphors, like," oh man" and "wow" and laughing, as I watched this phenomenon of light. As I was turning around I was looking directly at a large house at the end the street, a full frontal view. It was a large home with several different roof elevations and gable ends. Then suddenly without warning a massive violent EARTHQUAKE struck the whole area. The house I had been looking right at was exploded into huge pieces. Instantly terror began to grip my whole being.

The Lord interrupted this fear and said, "DO NOT BE AFRAID THIS IS OF ME", and His Spirit of Peace filled my heart and all fear was gone, gone, gone, in an instant!

I turned around to see how my wife and father were doing. They were standing in the driveway of the house holding each other in terror. Then the same instructions that I had received form the Lord came from my mouth towards them, "DO NOT BE AFRAID THIS IS OF THE LORD", and then I was gone, transported by the HOLY SPIRIT to another place!

In a flash I was standing on a movie set in Hollywood California. I was thinking, what am I doing here, this is strange, I don't even like Hollywood. Then I saw an actor it was Dana Carvey from Saturday night Live, (which I don't watch). I just knew it was him, this was a divine appointment!

As he walked towards me I was thinking he saw it, he saw the rain too. When he approached me I said, "You saw it too, didn't you". Very perplexed He said "yes I did, I saw it too, it was like someone had thrown Blood every where. There was blood everywhere. I thought the special effects truck had crashed and thrown BLOOD EVERYWHERE". Now I was puzzled. Then the lord spoke again He said, "HE DIDN'T SEE WHAT YOU SAW, HE SAW WHAT I WANTED HIM TO SEE, NOW TELL HIM OF THE ATONEMENT BY MY BLOOD", so I did! Then I woke up.

It was around 4:30 in the AM. I jumped up and began praising the Lord. The Holy Spirit was still present, I started using words like, "oh man"," wow, man," "that was cool"," what was that"? "Wow"! "Thank you JESUS", etc, etc, etc!

I lay back down and couldn't sleep so I meditated on what I had just seen and worshiped until about 6:30 or 7:00 then I called a brother in the Lord. I had to tell somebody what I had seen. I called hoping that he would be awake.

After a few rings a groggy voice said "WHO IS IT"? I said," hey bro it's me Mark", He said, "wut's up"? He listened quietly as I told him the whole dream in detail. Then he blurted out," I'll be right there", and hung up!

I stood there looking at the phone saying what, what are you doing, but he was gone already. In about ten minutes or less there was a knock at the front door, it was my bro, barely dressed, trying to comb his hair with his hand he had some papers in his other hand. I said, "hey, hey why the rush", He said , (stuffing the papers into my hands), " this is a dream that a man named, "Tommy Hick's", had in "1961", you have to read it, right now," I began to read it immediately"!

The similarities in the two dreams were so close I began to cry as I read it.

The Rain is coming, Jesus is coming, Keep your lamps filled with Oil, He comes at a time we think not!

After finding Zechariah. 3:12, I believe this golden rain is oil not water, the oil of Gods perfect will.

The anointing is going to Rain down on all flesh, what a day we are in!

Tommy Hicks Dream, 1961.

“The Latter Rain of the Holy Spirit!”

This message begins July 25, 1961 at about 2.30 in the morning at Winnipeg Canada. The well known Evangelist, Tommy Hicks, had just fallen asleep, as he relates the Vision.

I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision that God had given me came before me, this vision came to me three times, exactly in detail. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation of what is coming that it has changed my complete outlook on the Body of Christ and the End-times!

The Greatest out-pouring of the Holy Spirit that the Church has ever known lies strait ahead. It is so hard to help men and women understand what God wants to give them in these end-times.
God is going to take the do-nothings the nobodies the unheard-of the no-accounts. He is going to take every man and woman and give them this out-pouring of His Spirit!

In the book of Act's we read," that in the Last-Days", God said, "I will pour-out My Spirit upon all flesh", I wonder if we really understand what He meant. I do not think we really fully realize or understand the fullness of this Heavenly statement. Then I read from the book of Joel; "Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for He has given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the RAIN, the former and the Latter in the same season"! (Joel 2: 23).

It is not going to be the rain, the former and the latter, but God is going to give His-people, in these last-days a double portion of Himself!

As the Vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great high distance. Where I was I do not know. But I was looking down upon the Earth. Suddenly the whole Earth came into my view. Every Nation every kindred tribe and tongue, came before my sight, from the east, west the north and south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, as I was in fear and trembling as I beheld this great sight before me, At that very moment when the world came into my view, it began to lightning and thunder!

As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes were drawn downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, as I stared at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His head seemed to reach to the North Pole and his feet to the South Pole; his arm's stretched from Sea to Sea. I couldn't begin to understand if this was a mountain or a giant. As I watched, suddenly I beheld it was a great giant and I could see his head and He was struggling for life. He wanted to live but his whole body was covered with debris from head to foot, at times this great giant would move his body and act as if he would rise up. When he did thousands of tiny creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run away from the giant, and when He became calm again they would come back upon him.

All of a sudden this great giant lifted one hand towards the heavens, and then it lifted the other hand, and when He did these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from the giant and go into the darkness of the night!

Slowly the giant began to rise and as he did his hands and head went into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself of all of the debris and filth that was upon him. Then as he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, he raised his hands and they went even into the clouds!

Suddenly every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon it was so great I could not even imagine what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, I cried out to the Lord and said , "lord what is the meaning of this", I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit, I could feel the presence of the Lord, even though I was asleep.

Then from those bright clouds came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant, and then slowly, this giant began to melt, he began to sink into the very earth itself. As he melted, his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth. This great rain began to come down, great drops of liquid light seemed to flood the very earth itself, as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people all over the face of the earth. As I beheld this sight before me, people were standing up all over the world, they were raising their hands and they were praising the Lord!

At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure clothed in white, in glistening white, the most glorious person I have ever seen in my life. I did not see His face, but I knew that it was the Lord Jesus Christ. He stretched forth His hands and when He did, He would stretched it forth towards one and then to another and to another and another, men and women, as He would point towards them this same liquid fire would go into them, and a mighty anointing from the Lord would commission them! And then those people went forth in the name of the LORD!

I do not know how long I watched, it seemed it went into days and weeks and months. I beheld the Christ as He stretched forth His hand; but there was a tragedy. There were many people as Jesus would stretch His hand towards them, they would refuse this anointing from God and this call from God, as He would stretch his hand towards this one and that one, and they simply bowed their head and begin to back away from Him. Each of those that would back away seemed to go into darkness; blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere. I was bewildered as I watched it.

Ah but those people that Jesus had anointed hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, in Africa, England, Russia, China, America, people all over the world, a mighty anointing was upon these as they went forth in the name of Jesus. I saw these as they went forth, men and women as they went forth, they were ditch diggers, washer women, and they were rich men, poor men. I saw people bound with paralysis, blindness, sickness and deafness. As the lord stretched His hand towards them to give them this anointing, they became well, they became whole, and they went forth in His name!

This is the miracle of it, the Glorious miracle of it, those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord had done for them and the same liquid light, liquid fire was in their hands. As they would stretch forth their hands they said, "according to my Word, be thou made whole"!

As these people continued in this end-times out-pouring, I did not fully realize what I was seeing, I looked to the Lord and asked, "Lord what is this that I am seeing?" He said, "This is that which I will do in these last-days. I will restore all that the cankerworm the palmerworm and the locust have eaten, I will restore all that they have destroyed. This is my people that will go forth in the end-times. As a mighty army will they sweep over the face of the whole earth"!

As I was at a great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the whole face of the earth. Suddenly they would be in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia or China, or some other place or vice versa. All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.

Angry mobs came to stop them with swords and guns, and like Jesus, they would pass through the crowds and they could not find them. They went forth everywhere in the name of the Lord and wherever they did they stretched out their hands and the sick were healed the blind eyes opened the lame walked and the devils were cast out. There was not a long prayer. After I had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and thought about it many times, I realized that I never saw a Church, I never saw or heard a denomination, but these people were going forth in the name of, "THE LORD OF HOSTS, HALLELUJAH!

As they marched forth in everything they did the will of Jesus Christ in the end-times. These people were giving life to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands even millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these stood up and gave this demonstration of His Kingdom, of His coming Kingdom, in this last hour! It was so glorious, but it seemed as though there were those that rebelled, they would become angry and they would try to attack those that were giving this message of the Kingdom.

God is going to give this world a demonstration in this last hour such as the world has never seen or heard. These men and women are of all walks of life, degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would stumble and fall, another would come quickly and pick them up. there was no big "I" and "little you", but every mountain was brought low and every valley was exalted, They all had one thing in common there was a divine genuine love that seemed to flow from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus himself was the theme of their lives. They continued and it seemed the days went by as I beheld this marvelous sight. I could only cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the whole earth, bring forth this harvest in this end-time hour!

As I watched from the very heavens themselves, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great gatherings of people, and those people would lift up their hands and seemingly Praise God for hours even days as the Spirit of the Lord would come upon them!

God said," I will pour-out My Spirit upon all flesh", and that is exactly this thing. To every man and woman that received this anointing and this power from God, the miracles of God; there was no end to it!

I dropped to my knees and began to pray, I said, "Lord I know that this coming to pass, and I believe it is coming soon! Then suddenly as these people were going throughout the earth it seemed that persecution came from every angle.

Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder that seemed to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice, the voice that seemed to speak, "Now this is My people, this is My beloved Bride," and when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains

The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be rising.

As they rose from the graves, suddenly these people came from every direction. From the east, west, north, and south, and they seemed again to be forming this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ were rising first, I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvelous, it was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of. As this body began to form and take shape again, it took the shape of the mighty giant again, only this time it was different. This time it was arrayed in the most beautiful glorious white that I have ever seen. Its garments were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form.

The people of all the ages were gathered into this body, and slowly, slowly it began to form into the very heavens, suddenly from above the Lord Jesus came, and He became the head, then there was another thunder clap, and the voice said," this is My beloved Bride for whom I have waited, she has come forth even tried by fire, This she that I have Loved from the beginning of time."!

As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north, and I saw seemingly destruction: men and women in anguish crying out, and buildings in destruction. Then I heard the fourth voice that said, "Now is My wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth." From the ends of the earth it looked as if the wrath of God was being poured out, it was as though great vials of Gods wrath were being poured upon the whole face of the earth.

I can remember it as though is happened a moment ago, I shook and I trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing cities, and whole nations going down into destruction. I could hear the weeping and wailing, I could hear people crying, they seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in the mountains opened up. They leaped into water but the water would not drown them, there was nothing that would destroy them. They wanted to take their own lives, but they could not.

Then again I turned my eyes upon this glorious sight, this body arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly this great giant began to lift from the earth, and as it did I awoke!

What a sight I had beheld, I had seen the end-times the last hour!

This will not be doctrine, it will not be churchianity, it is going to be Jesus Christ, and they will give forth the word of the Lord... We are going to be clothed in power and the anointing of God. We will not have to preach sermons, we will not depend on man, nor will we be denominational echo's, but we will have the power of the living God, we will fear no man, but we will go forth in the power of the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, Hallelujah!

This end-times dream was given to Tommy Hicks three times in 1961.

“PROPHECY "1619"

There will be a total and full redemption by Jesus Christ! This is a hidden mystery not to be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is at hand to reveal these truths to all Holy seekers and loving inquirers. The completion of “Such Redemption” is withheld and abstracted by the apocalyptical seals of the book of revelation. Wherefore as the Spirit of God will open seal after seal, so will this redemption come to be revealed, in part and then universally. In the gradual opening of the mystery of redemption in Christ; and does consist the unsearchable wisdom of God; which may continually reveal new and fresh things to the worthy seeker. In order to which the Ark of His testimony in Heaven will be opened before the end of the age, and the Living testimony will be unsealed!

The presence of the divine Ark will constitute the Life of this Virgin Church, and wherever this body is, there must the Ark of God be. The unsealing of the Living testimony within the Ark of God will be the proclaiming of His testimony, and will be as the sounding of a trumpet to "ALARM" the nations of processed Christendom. Authority will be given by Jesus Christ to the putting an end to all controversies concerning the true Church, that is born of the New Jerusalem mother. His decision will be the actual sealing of the Body of Christ with His Name (or Authority) thus giving them a commission to act by His same authority. This New Name (or Authority) will distinguish them from the seven thousand names of Babylon.

The election and preparation of this Virgin Church is to be after a secret and hidden manner. As David in His ministry was chosen and appointed by the Prophet of the Lord, yet was not admitted to the outward profession of the Kingdom for a considerable time afterward. Of the stem of David, a Virgin Church, which has known nothing of a man or human institution, is to be born, and it will require some time for it to get out of the minority and arrive at a full and mature age. The birth of this Virgin Church was typified in St. Johns Vision on the isle of Patmos, where the great wonder appeared in Heaven, bringing forth Her first born, (A man child), that was caught up to the throne of God, (or that is Identified with the Authority of God). This Church so brought forth and sealed with the mark of Divine Authority, will have no bondage or imposition, but the Holy Anointing upon these New Born Spirits will be all and all!

There is not at this day (1619) visible upon the Earth such a Church. All profession being found light when weighed in the balances; therefore they are rejected by the supreme Judge. With rejection will be for this cause that out of them may come a new and Glorious Church!

Then will the Glory of God and the Lamb so rest upon this typical tabernacle, so that it will be called the tabernacle of Wisdom, though it is not known in visibility, yet. It will be seen as coming out of the wilderness within a short time. Then it will go on to multiply and propagate itself universally; not only to the number of the first born (144,000) but also to the remnant of the seed, against whom the dragon will make war continually. Wherefore the Spirit of David will revive in this Church and most especially in some of its elect members of this blossoming root. These will have might given to them to overcome the dragon and his angels, even as David overcame Goliath and his philistine army.

This will be the standing up of the Great Prince Michael, and will be as the appearing of Moses against pharaoh, in order that the chosen seed may be brought out of hard bondage and servitude. Egypt does oppress this servile creation under which Abraham's seed groans, but a Prophet and a most prophetic generation, will the Most High raise up, a people that will deliver His people by the Force of Spiritual Arms, for which there must be raised up certain head powers to bear the first office, who will be people in favor with God, whose dread and fear will fall upon the nations, visible and invisible, because of the mighty acting Power which will rest upon them; Jesus Christ will appear in some of these chosen vessels to bring into the promised land this New Creation Church!

Thus Moses, Joshua, and Aaron may be considered types of some upon whom the same Spirit will come, yet in even greater proportion, where by they will make a way for the ransomed of the Lord to return to Mount Zion! But none will stand under God but those that have become the "tried stones," after the pattern and likeness of Christ. This will be a very fiery trial through which a very few will be able to pass or bare up under; where by those waiting for this visible breaking forth are strictly charged to hold fast, and wait together in the unity of pure Love!

This trial will be of absolute necessity to all, for the clearing away of all remaining infirmities of the natural mind, and the burning away of all wood hay and stubble, for nothing must remain in the fire. As a refiner He will purify the Sons of His Kingdom!

There will be some that will be fully redeemed, being clothed with the Priestly garment after the, "Melchisedec order". This will qualify them for governing Authority. Therefore it is required on their part to suffer the Spirit of burning and the fanning of His fiery breath, searching every part within them until they have arrived at a fixed body to which Gods signs and wonders are to flow out!
Upon this body will be the fixation of the Urim and the Thummim, that are the portion of the Melchisedec priesthood, who’s decent is not counted among the genealogy of the creation that is under the fall, but in another genealogy which is the New Creation!

Hence these priests will have deep inward search and divine sight into the secret things of deity and will be able to Prophecy in a clear ground, not darkly enigmatically, for they will know what is couched in the first originality of all beings, in the eternal antitype of the nature. They will be enabled to bring forth according to the divine council and ordination.

The Lord swears in truth and righteousness, that from Abraham's lineage, according to the Spirit, there will arise a Holy seed, produced and manifested in the last age. The Mighty Spirit of Cyrus is appointed to lay the foundation of this third temple and support its building!

Please look at; Isaiah 44:28-45:1-3 & 13, also; Ezra 1:1-3 & 4:1-3 & 6:3-12.

There are characteristics and marks where by this Pure Virgin Church will be known and distinguished from all others that are low and false, counterfeits. There must be a manifestation of the Holy Spirit to edify and raise up this Church; where by bringing Heaven down upon the Earth, and representing here the New Jerusalem State. In order that men's spirit's are thus begotten and truly born of God. Thus ascending to the New Jerusalem above, where our head and Majesty does Reign!

None but those that have risen with Jesus Christ in this regeneration can come forth and communicate this Kingdom, being thereby His chosen representatives in the Earth, and subordinate Priests under Him now. He that has ascended and been glorified, has made Himself, as it were, our debtor, consequently He will not be slack in qualifying and furnishing certain high and principled vessels who will be most humble, and as little regarded as King David was, who God will dignify with honor and priestly sovereignty for drawing to Himself the scattered flocks, and gather them into one fold out of all Nations!

Therefore there should be a Holy emulation and ambition stirred up among the bands of believers that they may be of the first fruits unto Him that is risen from the dead, and so being made principal agents of Him, that they may be if possible of the number of the first born, of the New Jerusalem Mother!

To all true waiters of His Kingdom, pray and desire to be numbered among the Virgin Spirits, to whom this Prophecy pertains. Be watchful and quicken your pace!
