"OLD
WELLS, FALLEN MANTLES,
NEW
FOUNTAINS"
(A VISION OF THE
FINAL GREAT AWAKENING)
by
Michael Edds
I was directed to verse
19 of [Isaiah 43]: Behold I WILL DO A NEW THING. Now it shall SPRING
[BURST] FORTH. Shall ye not know it ?
The Lord was moving so quickly through the
scriptures that I could hardly keep up. His presence was incredibly
strong. I felt like I was floating.
Leaving Isaiah, the Lord took me to Joel 2:23: He will cause to come down for you the
rain, THE FORMER RAIN AND THE LATTER RAIN IN THE FIRST MONTH.
Then Joel 2:28
was given which states: It shall come to
pass afterwards that I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH. Your sons
and daughters shall PROPHESY, YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS and your
YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS.
Finally, Genesis
26:18 finished the scriptures that the Lord was rapidly giving
me: AND ISAAC DUG AGAIN the WELLS of water
which they had DUG IN THE DAYS OF ABRAHAM HIS FATHER.
The Lord said, What once was shall be again.
politics that have nearly destroyed
His He is going to restore HIS church by returning the Faith of our Fathers to their children
(descendants) and the children (descendants) to the Faith of our
Fathers.
The
old wells will BURST forth and the fallen mantles will be picked up.
This will be a suddenly.
Isaiah speaks of it occurring in the desert
places and on the barren heights. In other words, it will happen in the
most unlikely of places.
The Lord continued His
interpretation of the vision by explaining to me that NEW FOUNTAINS would gush or break forth
also. Something that has never occurred in any Great Awakening or in
any historic move of God will exploded upon the scene in our day.
Joel 2:23 speaks of God sending the former rain (the Old
Wells of revival) and the latter rain (The New Fountains) in the SAME
MONTH!!! In other words, all of the moves of God and fallen
mantles from Pentecost until now will be reopened and picked up and
combined with a totally New Thing from God. It will literally shake the
church and the world.
HE WILL RESTORE A CHURCH WITHOUT SPOT OR
WRINKLE!
He will not allow the church to go out
defeated.
HE WILL ARISE FOR HIS OWN NAME'S SAKE!
God has been preparing a "Joseph Generation" that has been enrolled
in the "School of Dung. In this
schooling, they have endured the pain of rejection, slander and
isolation. The Word of the Lord has tried them severely. They cry out,
God why? All I wanted to do is serve you. All seems to have gone to
hell in a hand basket. It seems just the opposite of what You promised.
I am lonely, the organized church thinks I am crazy, a fanatic, out on
a limb. They have rejected me and hated me because of my love for you.
WHY, OH LORD?
God has been preparing and perfecting these "Josephs" in the darkness and in the
prison houses of loneliness and isolation for a day and hour that they
will be unleashed as a secret weapon on the kingdom of darkness. He has
allowed all of these things to happen to them for their good. He has
prepared a people whom He can trust with His power, gifts, and
anointing. In holiness, humility and boldness they will fulfill His
plans in our day. They will give HIM the glory. They will give HIM
total control of the coming Great Awakening. The door of their prison
house of utter loneliness and rejection is about to open. Their word is
about to come.
That word is the
King has need of thee. In a moment, they will be ushered from
prison to position. In a moment, they will fully understand their long
and severe sufferings. In a moment, they will be brought out into the
light of God's divine destiny for them. God will greatly use them to
lead the Coming Great Awakening.
Along with this final Great Awakening is
coming Divine Judgment. Isaiah 35:4
declares, Your God shall come with
vengeance, even God with a recompense. God is going to
overthrow the abuse and control of man in His church. He's going to
take back the "ship" that has been turned into a luxury liner and
restore her back to her original state: a ship of war.
HE IS GOING TO
TAKE BACK CONTROL OF HIS CHURCH!!! The Church is HIS bride, not
someone else.
This nation is going to be greatly
shaken. The First Great Awakening preceded the American Revolution.
Before the Second Great Awakening began at Cane Ridge, Kentucky, a
massive epidemic of Cholera occurred. In its early days, the Third
Great Awakening saw every bank in the nation collapse. This awakening
was followed by the greatest disaster in American History when the
nation was ripped apart and 600,000 Americans perished in the horrific
War Between The States. A great earthquake hit California at the same
time as the Azusa Street Outpouring.
He is going to shake the Church and this
nation. Only that which is of Him will be left standing.
A great hunger for repentance, seeking God,
seeking holiness, seeking truth has exploded within the "Joseph Generation." They have studied,
researched and sought out the Old Wells of revival. They intensely
hunger for God to do it again! They cry out, Just
one more time, oh Lord !
Programs,
politics, personalities, manipulation, and plans in the church sicken
them. THEY MUST HAVE GOD ! They MUST be in His presence!
They are meeting in the homes, in the
fields, in the woods, in their prayer closets and any place that they
can totally seek His face. Their despair has turned into an
all-consuming hunger that says, - Give me
God or let me die.
GOD HAS
HEARD ! He is about to reopen the old wells of revival, He is picking
up the fallen mantles and placing them on men and women, and He is
about to do a new thing!
Every Awakening has incurred the wrath and
persecution of man.
When the Presence and holiness of God
confronts mankind, they must make a decision for or against Him.
When they choose to reject Him, they lash
out and fight against His messengers. In the mid-1700s, the Baptist in
Colonial Virginia were beaten, imprisoned, and killed for preaching the
Gospel.
The Methodist circuit riders were jailed,
tarred and feathered, beaten, abused and martyred for the message of
God.
The reason there is little persecution
against the Church in America today is that there is so little of the
Presence and Message of God to confront mankind.
The world has heard how to get rich, how to
prosper, how to have self-esteem, and to feel good.
They have not heard the message, Repent or perish.
They have
not heard the anointed Word of God that demands a decision. Be
forewarned, The Final Great Awakening will usher in a wave of
persecution against the true Church of God..
Old Wells of Revival are on the
threshold of being reopened. Fallen Mantles of ministry are being
picked up.
New Fountains are rumbling beneath the
surface and about to burst forth.
Frank Bartleman
(chronicler of the Azusa
Awakening) said,
To understand
what God is going to do, we must understand what He once did.
The most
incredible move of God will suddenly explode upon the scene.
Judgment and a great shaking are coming to
the land and to the church.
Persecution of the Isaacs
and Josephs, the true saints of God will occur.
However, they will be covered with such zeal
and boldness, they will be like the Fathers of old:
And they loved
not their lives even until death. - (Rev 12:11) God will
harvest a holy remnant from this generation. He will have a church that
is without spot or wrinkle, a pure bride for His Son. Be encouraged.
Lift up your heads.
Your God has come ! -The King has need of thee !
