CONTENTS
FOREWORD
By Sid Roth
For many years I have been disappointed with the prophets I have interviewed on my television show, Its Supernatural! For me, normal is defined by the Bible, not by what other people consider to be normal. In the Old Covenant, Samuel was a normal prophet, of which it was said about him, The Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground (1 Sam. 3:19). In fact, Moses set the standard of a prophet by saying in Deuteronomy 18:21-22:
And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
Yes, I know some prophecies are conditional. I also know many are prophets who are currently in training. However, the Bible still says the New Covenant is based on better promises than the Old Covenant, and I will not settle until I see prophecies that do not fall to the ground.
My friend Keith Ellis is a prophet like Samuel. When he dreams, he operates in 100 percent accuracy. He is a forerunner of a new breed of prophets who will once again turn the world upside down. We all would agree it needs it. Even non-believers will not make major decisions without first consulting this new breed of prophets. I know this will happen because we are living in the last of the last days.
Keith has gone through the school of crushing and has come to his senses that God is everything and he is nothing. When his son was in a coma with no brain wave activity and no hope, he had one minute with God. His son miraculously came back and the residue of Gods Spirit stayed on Keith 24/7. It has never left him. And that same heavenly residue is on every page of this book.
When Samuel anointed Saul with oil, the Bible says he turned into a new man: Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man (1 Sam. 10:6). For many who read this book, I believe that the anointing contained on its pages will saturate you and be a catalyst that will launch you into your destiny.
Get ready to experience one minute with God.
PREFACE
In Genesis Chapter 1, God shows us that He is the original prophetic seer. He looked into the darkness and spoke light, and light was suddenly created. And He saw that it was good: Then God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness (Gen. 1:3-4).
I want to be a person who always focuses on the light of God. The Bible says we are the light of the world (see Matt. 5:14). In God there is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all. It is my belief that we should focus on the light and love more than anything else that is taking place around us. It is easy to see darkness wherever we look.
This is not a call for us to ignore the darkness. Scripture plainly tells us that the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people (Isa. 60:2a, KJV). On the other hand, this statement is followed by some incredible words of promise and encouragement: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee (Isa. 60:2b, KJV). Darkness is not supposed to consume us. Even though we are aware of what is going on in the world around us, we also recognize that God has chosen His peopleusto be a people who carry His light, presence, and glory. This is what the prophet Isaiah said would arise and shine upon us (see Isa. 60:1). In these last days, God is raising up a people who will boldly carry His light and love in the midst of great chaos and turmoil, overcoming the darkness through the transforming power of His Kingdom.
It takes a person of faith who can see in the Spirit to pinpoint the light. We should focus on the light of God and the light He has given us. Furthermore, Jesus said that we are supposed to let our light shine so that people see our good works and give glory to the Father. This means it is time for you to arise and shine forth the light of God that is already inside of you. You actually carry the solution to the darkness!
What we tend to focus on the most in our lives is what happens. If we focus on the light and not the darkness, then our lives will be full of light. I know there is darkness in the land today. We are living in the end times, and I understand Bible prophecies, but I think were here on this earth to bring light to people who dwell in darkness. Thats what I do as a seer. Thats what my ministry does.
I have seen thousands saved and healed through the name of Jesus, by His precious blood, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. I have seen thousands of prophetic words come to pass in the lives of the people of God. I couldnt have given those words on my own, but God gave me the words to bring light to peoples darkened circumstances. In one minute God would give me a prophetic word and I could tell people it would be the best year of their lives or healing would come to their bodyand it would! I repeat, I could not have accomplished any of this through my own natural ability or human knowledge; it was the power of God working in and through me. It is God alone who can do in one minute what entire lifetimes of striving and effort cannot accomplish. This is what I have learned over the years, and this is what I want to share with you in the pages aheadyour
