[video] John Wimber: Vineyard Signs & Wonders Conference 1985 (Entire Series — including John’s Personal Pilgrimage)

In Filled with the HOLY Spirit, Healing, People, Prayer

I miss John — a great trailblazer in doing the greatest commandment — learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit!

I’m transcribing some of John’s statements:

– –

Saw for the first time the stars and the constellations emanating from Someone.

•

John got to a place where he loved the institution more than the body of Christ. He understood he had begotten something that wasn’t of God.

•

“‘Here I am trying to serve You, but it just doesn’t taste good. … What happened, God? How did it get all twisted around from ‘God, I’ll serve you’ to this? How did I get here? And I began weeping before the Lord, and asked direction.”

•

“So God has been ‘saving’ people in our midst from day one, but not because we were focused on that — but because we were focused on Him. And as we would come into His presence and worship Him, and gather and collect, and just give ourselves over to worship, He would just come and rest on us. …the air would thicken up. We could feel His presence in the room. God was with us. We knew it. But we didn’t know that the presence and the power was the same thing.”

•

“He said, ‘John, that’s My mercy. For some people it’s a blessing, and for some people it’s not.’ He said, ‘John, don’t ever beg Me for healing again. Look at it. There’s plenty for everyone. John, the problem isn’t on My end. The problem is down there where you are.’ And that was one of the most profound and moving experiences I’ve ever had. And I’ve never looked at healing the same way again. … I know the problem isn’t on His end. Our God has sent mercy in the Son. He sent His Word to heal them. Jesus has come. He brought a message of love from the Father. Healing is here. The problem is appropriating it, getting blessed in it, receiving it.”

When Billy Graham laughed to minimize Bill Clinton’s adultery

By Jeff Fenske

On February 1, 2013

In Biblically Disqualified Leaders?, Lying, People

Before blogging on WordPress, I had an email list in which I covered many of the same topics I cover today.

This is an email I sent out in 1998, in which I describe how Billy Graham actually laughed: “ha, ha, ha,” covering Bill Clinton’s adultery. The laughing said even more to me than what Billy actually said.

Billy Graham has been instrumental in watering down the gospel in what used to be “the land of the free and the home of the brave” — changing the grace of God into a license to sin.

Billy was interviewed by Katie Couric on NBC’s Today Show:

Subject: Graham’s theology revealed
Date: Thu, 05 Mar 1998

Dear Bros and Sisters,

I’ve been saying for many years now how I am concerned about Billy Graham’s watered down evangelistic message. Billy seems to emphasize a one time decision to accept Jesus Christ as one’s personal savior, and doesn’t even mention the necessity of working out our salvation through fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12).

Now we see his theology is revealed through this interview. How many people have a false sense of security of going to heaven because of Graham refusing to preach the whole Bible?

Have you ever seen him mention the clear truths in Mt. 7:13-27 (esp. vs. 21-23), Hb. 10:26-31, Rv. 3:1-6?

…I have the news broadcast of this interview taped. To me it is really tragic, but shows Graham’s true theology, with Graham knowing that Clinton claims to be a born again Christian. Billy says nothing of Clinton’s lying under oath, and military personel who’ve been disciplined for less, and Clinton is commander in chief!!! I wish you could hear how Graham laughed in the place I show in brackets below.

Graham also says, “I think a great deal of Bill Clinton.” Keep in mind that the Bible says adulterers and liars will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

If Clinton Guilty, Billy Graham Says Forgive

By Peter Ramjug

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Acknowledging President Clinton has a personality that would make women “go wild,” the Rev. Billy Graham said Thursday he would forgive Clinton if the president were found to have had sex with a former White House intern and then told her to lie about it.

Citing the sex and perjury charges facing the 51-year-old Clinton, Graham, in a candid interview with NBC’s “Today” show, said: “I forgive him … because I know the frailty of human nature, and especially a strong vigorous young man like he is.

“He has such a tremendous personality that I think the ladies just go wild over him.” [Right here, Graham clearly laughed in a way that showed that Billy thinks this is funny.]

Graham, spiritual leader to millions around the world and friend to some U.S. presidents, said the daily pressures faced by presidents may lead some to “temptation.”

He said history had a way of making some U.S. leaders, in spite of their rumored shortcomings, great presidents.

“I’m sure that many would have shortcomings and it’s come out now about certain presidents and things that they did and yet they are considered great presidents,” he said.

Nonetheless, those who hold the power and clout of the White House should be held to higher moral standards than the average person, Graham said.

“I think that a president should attempt, with God’s help, to have a higher moral standard than perhaps the average public has, but we’re living in a whole different world today and the pressure on anybody today is difficult.”

“I wouldn’t ever want to be president myself. The pressure on a president today is unbelievable.” …

Rethinking Matthew 24: "..then the end will come" — after the Pete Townshends "know?" — Millions, if not billions of people, right now, are not compelled to become Christians because of the bitter taste that professing Christians are leaving in their stomachs. People have a right to see the real thing!

In People, Revival

This video, in which Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, The Who, perform their last song of the evening, “Tea and Theatre,” is an excellent example of a burden that I have about why it’s crucially important that ONE happens soon.
From the beginning of the prophecy, Let Us Be One, A Kindness that I Want to Flow From My Body:

On the night before Jesus sacrificed his life for us, he prayed that those who would follow would be one. His heart still longs to see this fulfilled in our lives – “that the world may know.”

Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me. THE GLORY which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me. (John 17:20-23)

Millions, if not billions of people, right now, are not compelled to become Christians because of the bitter taste that professing Christians are leaving in their stomachs. In fact, many see more love in some non-Christians—which is exceedingly sad, and needs to be remedied.
People have a right to see the real thing—real Christianity. “That they may be perfected into ONE,” Jesus said. “That the world may know.”
When ONE happens in just one group, and then it spreads like wildfire, then if people choose to reject it, so be it. At least they had a chance to really see what they were rejecting—the beauty of what real, Biblical Christianity is!
For a number of years, for some reason, I’ve had a particular burden for Pete Townshend to see ONE happen before he leaves this earth. I think his heart would leap when he sees the real thing, which is probably what he’s been yearning for all his life. When Pete Townshend sees it (whether he becomes a Christian or not), then I think we’ve done our job, then the world will know. Everyone has a right to see the real thing before they die.
Many think Jesus’ words in Matthew 24 are about people just hearing a message, that once all of the unreached peoples hear the Gospel story then the end will come. I’ve been thinking lately that it’s more about once the world sees ONE happen, then the world will know and then the end will come. Consider Matthew 24:11-14 in light of John 17:

Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray [which is happening by the droves through most pastors and priests today]. Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved. This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

What is being preached by most ‘Christians’ today isn’t really a testimony to the nations. Jesus said in John 17 that the world will know when ONE happens, not just when people hear the Gospel story.
I think Pete Townshend is a good example of a deep thinking, intuitive person who isn’t fooled by hypocrites, who profess Christianity but aren’t even going to heaven, themselves, because they’re not abiding in Christ. Pete will only be impressed by the real thing—which needs to pass the Pete Townshend Smell Test.
I think Jesus call for us to be ONE in John 17 is the testimony to all the nations in Matthew 24. And we can bring this about, by His grace/enablement, as we abide in Him, together!
Then the world will know, and then the end will come.
Freedom!
May we be ONE!
