Unquestionably, we are entering times of heightened spiritual
activity and confrontation. This is why the first Chapter in this
book is to start with a contrite heart. I believe we will see
considerably different from the past, with measures of
breakthrough experienced by the remnant who qualify; those
having positioned themselves before God with humility, contrition
and who tremble at His Word.
I was reminded of a story recorded in the life of the notable healing
evangelist Smith Wigglesworth. It involved a key secret in his
walk with God and the release of divine power through this great
champion. In 1922 Wigglesworth journeyed to New Zealand for a
series of healing campaigns.
At the time, he was unknown to New Zealand's leadership, but
with great confidence various pastors rented the Wellington Town
Hall to host the meetings. The Lord was wonderfully present in
power bringing healing and salvation to many. The services were
so successful that additional meetings were arranged and each was
filled to capacity with God healing the most difficult cases of
sickness and disease. At the conclusion of the campaign one of the
host pastors, while walking along the seashore with Wigglesworth,
asked what his secret was to walking in demonstrations of God's
power. Wigglesworth responded, "I am sorry you asked me that
Increasing Your Prophetic Gift

question, but I will answer it. “I am a brokenhearted man.” My
wife who meant everything to me, died eleven years ago. After the
funeral I went back and laid on her grave. I wanted to die there.
But God spoke to me and told me to rise up and come away. I told
Him if He would give me a double portion of the Spirit my wife's
and my own I would go and preach the gospel. God was gracious
to me and answered my request. But I sail the high seas alone. I am
a lonely man, and many a time all I can do is to weep and weep. A
broken and contrite heart was the secret to Wigglesworth's success
with God.
Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a
broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
As the two men continued walking along New Zealand's seashore,
Wigglesworth emphasized what he carried in God was not to be
envied, but instead he envied what the last generation will see.
Wigglesworth explained that he had experienced three open
visions with the Lord. Two of them were already fulfilled at the
time of these meetings in 1922. However, he expressed the third
would take place after his death. Wigglesworth explained, "Oh it
was amazing! Amazing! I cannot tell God’s secrets, but you will
remember what I say this revival we have had is nothing to what
God is yet going to do."
The pastor to whom these comments were made recorded that he
clearly understood Wigglesworth's comments were directed
towards the spiritual outpouring within the generation preceding
the Lord's return. He said, "It was quite evident that the evangelist
had a special vision granted to him of the coming outpouring of the
Spirit in an unprecedented in the days just before our Lord comes
to snatch away the Church."
Taking it to Another Level
Clearly, Wigglesworth was given a glimpse of God's plan for this
present hour. It is also recorded that while in South Africa in 1936,
Wigglesworth accurately prophesied what has now become known
as the Charismatic renewal. He along with many other prior
Increasing Your Prophetic Gift

champions was allowed to prophetically observe and forecast
what we as a generation can enjoy in God. Even so, the same
qualifications are necessary for us that existed with Wigglesworth
and the others. It is incredibly sad that Wigglesworth lost his
precious wife Polly. Nevertheless, it produced something in him
that God was able to use to change a generation. Although we may
not go through the precise loss that Wigglesworth experienced, our
ultimate goal is to present ourselves before God in humility and
genuine brokenness of heart because of our condition and the
present need for godly character. Increasing Your Such a heart
God will not despise and will powerfully anoint with
demonstrations of His Spirit. Following the meetings in New
Zealand I felt a profound challenge being placed upon my life and
that of God's leadership to take our consecration and devotion to a
higher level.
He deserves greater than we have been able to present thus far.
Clearly there are many who have sacrificed notably throughout the
Church to see His Kingdom revealed. Even so, for the most part on
the corporate level, we must aspire to something more.
Our Need for True Leadership
There is a present need for clarity and honorable leadership to
emerge with a credible prophetic voice to provide direction and
divine wisdom. With an increasing emphasis on the emergence of
God's divine government there is an equal demand for biblical
understanding of God's promises for the end of the age generation.
There are clear spiritual endowments being imparted to those
groomed and prepared for governmental responsibility. Never
before has there been greater need for the spirits of wisdom and
revelation.
Ephesians 1:17-19 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is
the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding

greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to
the working of his mighty power,
Like Daniel and his three friends in Babylonian captivity, we
desperately need the impartation of Heavenly wisdom and
knowledge as well as intelligence in all manner of writing and
literature. We desperately need insight and interpretation of our
dreams and visions.
Daniel 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them
knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel
had understanding in all visions and dreams.
It is my perspective that all true spiritual leadership is birthed out
of friendship with the Lord. He once told His disciples that He no
longer considered them servants, but friends.
From that place of intimacy, God's mysteries, secrets and strategies
are imparted that convey the Father’s thoughts and aspirations for
this generation. Therefore, our foremost pursuit should not
necessarily be a spiritual office, but friendship with Jesus. Who we
are and what we are called to be will become clearly recognized as
we delegate Kingdom authority and walk with God like Enoch.
Supernatural Endowments
I have often studied and written on the life of Daniel; a man highly
esteemed and greatly beloved in Heaven. The Lord told me that
Daniel was a prototype of the generation he foresaw. In many
ways, Daniel and his three friends provide a prophetic picture of
the manner by which the Lord will equip His people for special
end of the age assignments. The Babylonian captivity of natural
Israel provides a forecast of our present condition and the Lord's
promise for deliverance. Daniel 1:17 describes Heaven’s special
empowerment imparted to these loyal young men.
The Lord gave them by inspiration, revelatory knowledge and
intelligence in various matters of writing and literature. The Lord
quickened in them special skills to apprehend and articulate

spiritual understanding and Heavenly wisdom. Daniel was notably
gifted with supernatural perception into all manner of visions and
dreams. There was a specific impartation from God that
empowered them to excel in the apprehension of wisdom and
governmental scholarship. The Lord bestowed by spiritual
transference the blessing of unique knowledge and exceptional
capacity in literature and all manner of written work.
This pattern will also be followed in this day when the Lord
discovers devoted hearts of obedience and loyalty. There are vast
storehouses of revelatory insight and supernatural knowledge
involving Scripture, creation, science, the arts and many other
subjects that will be entrusted to saints who follow the model
established by Daniel and his three friends.
God is lifting up those whom will provide a prophetic standard for
the spiritually strong who know their God and carry out great
exploits.
They will intimately know God and engage the revelatory realm of
Heaven. In them will be an excellent spirit granting acute
perception and understanding to interpret dreams and visions,
clarify revelatory experiences and solve difficult and mysterious
problems. They will be people who apprehend insight from the
throne room and respond to the invitation to "come up here" to be
shown things to take place in the future.
A few years ago during a prophetic experience, the Lord
specifically stated to me that Daniel 1:17 was spiritually linked to
Ephesians 1:17. We discussed some about these two scriptures in
the previous Chapter.
These are parallel passages stating the same promises from
different time frames. One is from the Old Covenant outlining
God’s dealings during difficult times but also pointing to a future
day of supernatural intervention into the lives of mankind. The
other is expressed in the New Covenant recording for all
generations the heritage of the saints.

Despite our perceived personal limitations, the Lord is a
quickening Spirit.
He has promised to give life to our mortal bodies with His Spirit
and grant to us the spirit of revelation that will access mysteries,
secrets and revelatory knowledge as our legacy in Him.
Anointing of the Past
Many who attended Maria Woodworth-Etter’s meetings at the turn
of the 20th century would be caught up in the Spirit to experience
visions and revelations of the Lord. These accounts are well
documented and verified.
Some would be commissioned in their encounter as missionaries to
foreign lands and emerge from their visionary revelation capable
of fluently speaking the language of the nation to which they were
called.
It is the Father's good pleasure to reveal to us the Kingdom and
perform awesome deeds that only He can achieve. It was a small
thing for Him to rejuvenate the bodies of Abraham and Sarah and
quicken them with strengthening virtue.
Even after Sarah's death and well over one hundred years of age,
Abraham continued in the strength imparted to him by his
encounter with El Shaddai and bore many more sons through
Keturah.
Likewise, the Lord is more than able to equip us to access the
unfathomable treasures hidden in Him that require supernatural
gifts like those entrusted to the apostle Paul. As the Bible also
clearly promises, the Holy Spirit knows what is hidden in darkness
and reveals the deep and secret things. Light dwells with Him
bringing illumination to that which has been set apart and reserved
for the generation of destiny.
