Praise for

The Last Great Anointing

So many of God's people have become distracted from presenting Christ within their networks of relationships or through sin have disqualified themselves from representing Christ. The Last Great Anointing will lift our eyesand in some cases, open our eyesto why we are here. We are on a mission, a journey with a purpose. We must not allow ourselves to become distracted. In this book, Morris Cerullo gives us fresh focus.

FOREWORD

As I first read the manuscript of this book, the Lord flashed into my mind an incident in 1989 in which I received what at that time was undoubtedly the clearest and most direct prophetic word I had yet experienced. He said, "My son, speak it out: tell the world that 1990 will truly be a hinge year!" I obeyed and spoke it to the best of my ability in a short article in Ministries Today magazine.

The decade of the 1990s is now nearing its end, and there is no question at all that it was truly what the Spirit was saying to the churches. I, of course, was not the only one who was hearing from God at this time. Many others were also hearing from God, including my good friend, Morris Cerullo . I want to explain why I believe that Brother Cerullo's book, The Last Great Anointing, can be regarded as one of the Kingdom capstones of this decade.

Of the many things that God has been showing the Church over the past few years, the two at the top of His agenda, in my opinion, are powerful prayer and the completion of the Great Commission, and how the two are intimately and inextricably interrelated. The Body of Christ has long believed in prayer and in world evangelization, but we have been taken by the Holy Spirit to new and unprecedented levels in both.

Largely because we have been learning how prayer can be truly powerful prayer, our generation is the first generation since the time of Christ that literally has the potential of completing the Great

Commission. In fact, no past generation could even measure the remaining task with any sort of precision, but we can. And it is happening! For example, of 1,739 significantly large unreached people groups at the beginning of the decade, only around 500 have yet to see an initial church planting movement among them. That fact alone far surpasses anything that could have been reported in the past.

Why is this happening? God has raised up the most massive worldwide prayer movement that anyone could have imagined, and it is gaining strength daily. There are no heroic figures in this movementit is the rising of the saints of God. The global prayer movement is truly out of control! A few of us have been trying to keep up as much as we can, and to help coordinate segments of the movement here and there.

Among these is Morris Cerullo , who is believing God for a Global Prayer Strike Force of 10 million intercessors as a prayer covering for the massive Mission to All the World.

The Body of Christ has moved rapidly from level to level in prayer for the lost souls of the world over the past few years. We are doing things now, almost as a matter of routine, that we did not even have words for

10 years ago. But we are not through! Brother Cerullo believes, and I agree, that God is about to move us into a dimension of authority in our prayers that will require us to coin even newer words to describe the new things that the Holy Spirit will be doing through His people. Brother Cerullo says, "We must now go deep into the realm of the Spirit, to not only bind the power of the enemy, but to completely destroy his strongholds."

I was struck as I read this word from the Lord through Brother Cerullo : "This prophetic prayer anointing will not be released upon everyone. There will be Christians who will be unwilling or afraid to let go of their preconceived ideas, man-made traditions and doctrines, to step into the fresh flow of God's Spirit. They will cling to the past and rely upon their limited understanding instead of abandoning themselves in full surrender to the direction and anointing of the Holy Spirit." I, for one, do not want to be found in that number!

I have kept close track of the literature on prayer that has been released for the mobilization of the Body of Christ in this decade. What an awesome unfolding of the plan of God, taking us from glory to glory and from strength to strength! These books, some of which I have written, have reported, they have explained, they have analyzed , they have motivated, they have laid theological foundations, and they have excited believers everywhere.

But the book you are about to read is different. The reason I have labeled it as one of the Kingdom capstones of our time is that this book, perhaps more than any other, will impart. It will impart to you, as it did to me, a fresh anointing of God, not just for prayer in general, but for powerful, strategic-level warfare prayer to tear down the strongholds that the enemy has been using to keep masses of people in spiritual darkness for ages.

The completion of the Great Commission and the coming of Jesus our King has never been nearer. When it comes, I want to be one who has received God's "final anointing" to be on the front lines, and I know that you do too! This book can go a long way toward making it happen!

Introduction

Beloved, this is not just another book on prayer. There are thousands of good books on prayer by anointed men and women of God on the bookshelves of Christian stores today. This is not a book on the methodology of prayer.
