The end of the age is coming quickly. This is

not an hour of gloom—it is the hour of

God’s glory! The Body of Christ is writing the final

pages of the history of the Church. We are about to

witness the most magnificent display of God’s power

the earth has ever seen. God told Moses, “As truly as

I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the

Lord” (Numbers 14:21).

Every generation has had its role to play in God’s

ultimate plan. During the time of Moses, God

manifested His power on behalf of the children of

Israel in such spectacular ways that they commanded

the respect of the Egyptians. When Moses led the

Israelites out of bondage, they were truly regarded

as God’s people because of the unquestionable

demonstration of His supernatural power.

I believe our generation will experience that same

high privilege. The day has come for God to raise up

the Body of Christ—the glorious Church—without

spot or wrinkle. This Church will command the respect

of the world because it has the miraculous power of

God in manifestation with signs and wonders! The

Church will show forth the glory of God.

God needed Moses’ obedience. His job was to

stretch out his hand in the earth and command the

will of God to be done. God had to have someone

who was loyal and would dare to act on His Word.

Moses was faithful and when he stretched out his

hand, God extended His hand and performed

miracles, signs and wonders! God needs faithful,

obedient people in this hour because He is going to

once again show Himself strong in the earth.

God revealed Himself to the children of Israel as

the covenant-keeping God, Jehovah. He performed

whatever signs and wonders were necessary to bring

them out of the bondage of Egypt. God needed

Moses—they worked together. God was able to use

Moses because Moses knew His ways. Moses’ heart

was loyal toward God, and he made himself available

to God. “He made known his ways unto Moses, his

acts unto the children of Israel” (Psalm 103:7). Had

Moses not been faithful to know God’s ways, the

children of Israel would never have seen God’s acts.

Today, the Spirit of God is dealing with us in

much the same way He dealt with Moses. We have

experienced a move in the Body of Christ in which

God has taught us His ways. We’ve learned to live

according to the Word. We’ve been taught to walk by

faith and not by sight, because God needs a body of

people who have a solid foundation in His Word. He

needs those who will not be blown to and fro by

every wind of doctrine and who have made God’s

Word the final authority in their lives. Those who

know how to depend on His Word will be the

backbone of this move of the Spirit.

I believe we are the generation that will usher in

the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Before He comes,

God will manifest Himself more intensely than He

did during the time of Moses. He will pour out His

Spirit on all flesh. Think of it—the Spirit of God

revealing Himself to flesh!

Since Calvary, the only thing Satan has been able

to use against the Church is the weakness of the flesh.

He has had to depend on deception through this

weakness in order to be effective in his work. His

power in the spirit realm was broken when Jesus was

quickened—made alive—with eternal life and raised

from the dead. Legally, Satan’s hold over mankind

was forever broken by the Lord Jesus Christ.

God has revealed Himself to our generation in the

spirit. We have learned to hear God in our spirits and

to know Him by His Word. For the most part, He has

not revealed Himself in a way we could see, hear or

feel in the natural realm. We have had to walk by faith

and not by sight.

Satan has reigned in the area of the flesh. This has

been his only avenue. But now, God, in His mercy

and love for man, is going to sweep into the realm of

sight and sound by His Spirit with signs and wonders.

In this final, great harvest of souls, God is going to

take over the flesh realm. Satan will have no place to

call his own! But Jesus said that false prophets would

also arise in the last days and show signs and wonders

in order to deceive the very elect. This is why the Word

of God must remain our foundation.
