PROPHECY of COMING REVIVAL
by Smith Wigglesworth
Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1947), who is known as the apostle of
faith, moved in true healings and miracles and even raised people
from the dead, according to many reports. Shortly before he
passed into glory he prophesied:
"During the next few decades there will be two distinct moves of
the Holy Spirit across the church in Great Britain. The first move
will affect every church that is open to receive it, and will be
characterised by the restoration of the baptism and gifts of the
Holy Spirit.
The second move of the Holy Spirit will result in people leaving
historic churches and planting new churches. In the duration of
each of these moves, the people who are involved will say, `This
is a great revival.´ But the Lord says, `No, neither is this the
great revival but both are steps towards it.´
When the new church phase is on the wane, there will be
evidence in the churches of something that has not been seen
before: a coming together of those with an emphasis on the
word and those with an emphasis on the Spirit.
When the word and the Spirit come together, there will be the
biggest move of the Holy Spirit that the nations, and indeed,
the world have ever seen. It will mark the beginning of a revival
that will eclipse anything that has been witnessed within these
shores, even the Wesleyan and Welsh revivals of former years.
