What is His desire for His Body in the
earth right now in 2017? Outpouring,
revival and manifestations of His glory
the likes of which have never before
been seen by human eyes!
Years ago, my father in the faith, Oral
Roberts, called me and said, "Kenneth,
I'm coming to spend the weekend with
you and Gloria. I want to discuss my
new book I've just finished, and then I
want you to drive me to Dallas for a
meeting I'm preaching."
Well you can guess what happened
next: "Gloria! Oral Roberts is coming
Friday, and he's staying with us the
whole weekend!"
She said, "What? Glory to God!"
You've never seen a house get such a
thorough cleaning in such a short time!
Needless to say, it was a wonderful,
powerful, God-ordained time. Things
changed. The completion of our
headquarters building had been put on
hold for eight months because of lack
of money. But Brother Roberts laid his
hands on the walls of the building, and
miracles began almost immediately.
We were supernaturally supplied and
never had to stop construction again
until it was finished. The point is this:
Clean house! Change is coming.
Since mid-2014, I've spent some
quality time in the woodshed. Do you
understand what I mean by that?
Correction and change. Jesus is
coming, and He's cleaning up the
vessels and getting them ready for His
use! He uses people through whom He
manifests Himself as Savior, Healer
and Baptizer in the Holy Spirit. The
cleaner the vessel, the easier it is to
hear the voice of His Spirit. That's
what the Apostle Paul instructed
Timothy, a young pastor, to do and to
preach.
Let's look at 2 Timothy 2:20-22:
20 BUT IN A GREAT HOUSE THERE ARE
NOT ONLY VESSELS OF GOLD AND OF
SILVER, BUT ALSO OF WOOD AND OF
EARTH; AND SOME TO HONOUR, AND
SOME TO DISHONOUR.
21 IF A MAN THEREFORE PURGE
HIMSELF FROM THESE, HE SHALL BE A
VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED,
AND MEET FOR THE MASTER'S USE,
AND PREPARED UNTO EVERY GOOD
WORK.
22 FLEE ALSO YOUTHFUL LUSTS: BUT
FOLLOW RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH,
CHARITY, PEACE, WITH THEM THAT CALL
ON THE LORD OUT OF A PURE HEART.
