"Do not become discouraged because the truth does not dawn on your spirits all at once. But keep meditating on the facts of the Word. The more you meditate on that which is written, And the more you meditate on that which is said as one shall speak under the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit, Then little by little it will become real to you. And as on the inside of you, in your spirit, in your inner man, it takes shape and form, it will reshape your own spirit. Until you'll no longer be a weakling, spiritually, but you shall become strong, and be able to stand, and do the works the Lord has called you unto. And rule and reign and dominate and live, as a king by Jesus Christ. So do not turn away even because you do not fully understand or see. But let your mind be open and your spirit be receptive and say thou, "O blessed Holy Spirit, unveil the truth unto my spirit, that I may stand in the fullness of the provision of my Father, For He is my Father. I love Him and He loves me. And so you will become that which He has ordained that you should become, and rise up to the level of the full privileges, and rights and authority, and dominidon of a son of God. Rejoice and be glad, and speak forth the Word of faith. Speak unto those circumstances that you have bound, and command them to leave, and so you shall be loosed. Speak unto the storm that appears on the horizon of your life and say, "Peace, be still", and there will be calm. Learn what is yours, and act upon it. And it shall become yours in reality."

Caught Up Above the Convention Center with Jesus
“When I was caught up into the Spirit to where Jesus was standing, it seemed that Jesus and I were standing up a little higher than the ceiling of the Tulsa Convention Center, looking down on our Campmeeting services—which were scheduled to begin there the following Monday. I saw the Monday night service unfold before us, and I saw many things that would happen in the other services throughout the week. Jesus was the narrator and He explained what was taking place as I looked on.”
“As I stood there with Jesus—Jesus narrating and explaining the things that were happening in the services—I saw that this Campmeeting would be one of the most monumental and momentous Campmeetings we have ever had. I saw that the results of this Campmeeting would be forthcoming for a long, long time.”
“As I was standing up there with Jesus seeing all this unfold, I asked Him, "Lord, why didn't You visit me far enough in advance so we could have advertised to the people that this Campmeeting was going to be unusual? More people would have come if they would have known that."
“Jesus answered, "The reason I didn't was because then the curiosity seekers and those seeking the sensational would have come. I just wanted those people to be here that I had directed to come."

Things Manifested Occasionally will Become Commonplace
“The things Jesus explained to me in this visitation were to help get the Body of Christ ready for this next great move of God's Spirit upon the earth. The spiritual truths that Jesus shared in this visitation are just simply the springboard, so to speak, which will spring the Body of Christ into a realm of the supernatural in a way and in a place that we have barely been before. Why? Because we will be following His plans and His purposes and pursuing them!”
“In the wave of God's blessing that is coming upon the earth, the things that have been manifested occasionally will become commonplace with the Body of Christ. The Head of the Church, the Lord Jesus Christ, is directing the activities of His Body in the world today, and He will receive all the praise and honor and glory for it.”

“Never put money first! The first time the Lord appeared to me, He told me, "Be careful about money. Many upon whom I've placed My Spirit and called to the ministry have become money-minded, and have lost the anointing." We don't want to become money-minded and lose the anointing of God on our lives!”

“…if they do not have a sheepfold, that is where their problem is."
One night during this prayer meeting, as I knelt beside a chair on the platform, the Lord spoke to me.
He said, "You've preached James 5:14 and 15 for years. Did you ever notice it is prayer and healing—not prayer, counseling, and heeding?"
Of course you teach people the Word. That's what the lessons were about as we had the daily teaching on healing. But the Lord said to me, "Go look at the sign on the building. It says Prayer and Healing Center—not Prayer, Counseling, and Healing. I didn't tell you to counsel at all. You added that."
Then He said to me in just these words, "Don't counsel anybody except people of your own sheepfold. You can counsel employees and students at the school because that is your sheepfold. But do not counsel others. If they need counseling, they ought to be counseled in their own sheepfold. And if they do not have a sheepfold, that is where their problem is."
