“SEPARATE TO ME”
By Mario Murillo
A massive number of Christians are
experiencing a strange miracle. And we are discovering that this was predicted
in detail.
The Holy Spirit is separating them. He has selected
them for special grace and power to accomplish mighty acts at the edge of
history. They will be uniquely equipped to face the sophisticated evil of our
time. But it all begins by making peace with the Holy Spirit and restoring His
rightful place.
Take a close look at the book of Acts and
you will see the disarming down-to-Earth way that they related to the Holy
Spirit. While they revered Him deeply, they had a sense of His nearness and His
involvement in their day to day operation. They behaved as if He was close by
and they could almost see Him. Most of all, they anticipated His instructions.
Acts
13:2
“As they ministered to the Lord and fasted,
the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas
and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then, having fasted and
prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. So, being sent out by the
Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.”
Millions are now hearing the same call: SEPARATE TO ME! The Holy Spirit told David Wilkerson about this
coming separation and how pockets of prophetic people would huddle together
across our nation. He said, “God-hungry people are saying among themselves,
“This is not it.
There is something more. The bigness and
the sensationalism of it all has left us empty and dry. We want more. More than
entertainment. More than big, showy buildings. More than a shallow celebrity
gospel. We want deeper values. We want to see Jesus. We want spotless robes of
righteousness. We want to go back to doing things in total dependence on God.”
Many of these people were chased out of
churches that were once fiery Spirit-filled churches but went to a new format
to attract outsiders. They feel punished for wanting a move of God.
They are fed up with the world system — especially
when they see it operating in the church. They can’t stomach the glitzy
entertainment centre’s anymore. They believe we have no time to play games.
They are frustrated that church is catering to the lukewarm members.
“Lukewarm members”
They are done with ego-centric preachers
with grandiose, expensive and carnal visions that having nothing to do with
soul winning or revival. They accuse them of being distracted—even derailed
from their first love. Disciples are abandoning “attraction” churches—something
revolutionary is happening inside them. God is starting a fresh movement.
David Wilkerson explained more of what he
saw coming: “God is revealing to all praying people that a glorious new work of
the Spirit is about to break forth. God is going to shake everything that can
be shaken. He will tear down the old political, backslidden, ecclesiastical
system. He will disown the formal, super-church structure. He will chase out of
His presence all who are engaging in self-promoting ministries.”
The praying people he mentions will force
changes. They are a new breed for a new need. They are frustrated, hungry and
their numbers are growing fast. They are coalescing around certain truths:
fasting, repentance, and holy surrender to Christ.
Smith Wigglesworth saw this separation
coming way back in 1927. He predicted the same group of people that David
Wilkerson described: “All the people which are pressing into and getting ready
for this glorious attained place where they shall not be found naked, where
they shall be blameless, where they shall be immovable, where they shall be
purified by the power of the Word of God, have within them a consciousness of
the very presence of God within, changing their very nature and preparing them
for a greater thing, and causing them to be ready for translation.”
Both men believed that this gathering unto
the Holy Spirit would begin after a great falling away.
Psalm
147:2
‘The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers
the exiles of Israel’’
Wigglesworth said, “We have to see that
these days have to come before the Lord can come. There has to be a falling
away. There are in the world two classes of believers. There are believers
which are disobedient, or I ought to say there are children which are saved by
the power of God which are disobedient children. And there are children which
are just the same saved by the power of God who all the time are longing to be
more obedient.”
2
Thessalonians 2:3
‘Let no man deceive you by any means: for
that day shall not come, except there comes a falling away first, and that
man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition’
I know that the moment these two men
predicted is upon us. Everyday I receive another account of frustrated saints
suddenly driven to hours of prayer. Many are fasting. A vast number are about
to find each other in a true outbreak of holy fire.
Millions of believers across America feel
they are being separated
to the Holy Spirit for some amazing
yet unknown reason. Wilkerson talked about a “work” within us.
Wigglesworth talked about “pressing in.” The image is clear… the Holy Spirit is stirring
souls across the nation. They are done with the overuse of big screens, skinny
jeans, and fog machines. They are being pulled away from fleshly
things even as a spirit of prayer is overtaking
them. They are surrendering to a special work of the Holy Spirit. A fresh work
of the Holy Spirit has begun! The impact will soon be widespread.
“A fresh work of the
Holy Spirit has begun!”
“But there will be things that will happen
prior to His coming that we shall know. You can tell. I am like one this
morning that is moving with a liquid, Holy, indispensable, real fire in my
bosom, and I know it is burning and the body is not consumed.
On August 11, 1927 Smith Wigglesworth stood
in Angelus Temple to preach on preparing for the Second Coming of Christ. He
told the audience that liquid fire was consuming him.
Then Smith made this Opening
statement: But there will be things that
will happen prior to his coming that we shall know. You can tell. I am like one
this morning that is moving with a liquid, holy, indispensable, real fire in my
bosom, and I know it is burning and the body is not consumed. It is real fire
from heaven that is making my utterances come to you to know that He is coming.
He is on the way God is going to help me tell you why you will know. You that
have the breath of the Spirit, there is something now moving as I speak. As I
speak, this breath of mighty, quickening, moving, changing, desirable power is
making you know and it is this alone that is making you know that you will be
ready.
1.
There must be special preparation for the
return of Christ and at least half of all believers will be totally unprepared.
We have to see that these days have to come before the Lord can come. There has
to be a falling away.
I want to speak to you very exactly. All
the people which are pressing into and getting ready for this glorious attained place where they shall
not be found naked, where they shall be blameless, where they shall be
immovable, where they shall be purified by the power of the Word of God, have
within them a consciousness of the very presence of God within, changing their
very nature and preparing them for a greater thing, and causing them to be
ready for translation.
This is the day of purifying. This is the
day of holiness. This is the day of separation. This is the day of waking. O God, let us wake
today! Let the inner spirit wake
into consciousness that God is calling you.
There are in the world two classes of
believers. There are believers which are disobedient, or I ought to say there
are children which are saved by the power of God which are disobedient
children. And there are children which are just the same saved by the power of
God who all the time are longing to be more obedient. And we heard the word come rushing, through
all over, “new theology” that damnable, devilish, evil power that lived in some
of these disobedient children, which in these last days opened the door to the
next thing.

There will be many Christians who believe
that they can do whatever they want and God will look the other way. People are tremendously afraid of this position
because they have heard so much on this line: “Oh, you know you are the elect
of God! You are sure to be all right.” There have been in England great
churches which were laid out upon these things. I thank God that they are all
withered. You will find if you go to England those strong people that used to
hold all these things are almost withered out. Why? Because they went on to say
whatever you did, if you were elect, you were right. That is wrong. The elect
of God are those that are pressing forward.
“The elect of God
are those that are Pressing Forward”
3.
It will be common for preachers to deny the
existence of hell. Denying hell prepares the way for antichrist. What? No hell. The devil has always said
that What does Christian Science say? No hell, no devil. They are ready for
him. The devil has always said no hell, no evil. And these people are preparing,
and they do not know it, for the Man of Sin.
4.
It
is offensive to talk about the Blood of Christ.
Do you believe it? Who can do it? THE BLOOD
CAN DO IT! The blood, the blood, oh the blood! The Blood of the Lamb! The blood
of Jesus can do it. Spotless, clean, preserved for God. Give the devil the biggest chase of his
life and say these words, The Blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us
from all unrighteousness.
5.
The world will look to worship a man and
will overlook his faults to get him into power. These people are determined to
have a man. They know someone has to come.
We know Who He is that is coming. They
begin to make a man. So they find a man in India, they polish him up as much as
they can, and they make him as well, in appearance, but you know we are told by
the Lord that there is soft clothing goes onto wolves’ backs.
O God, Let us Wake Today!
6.
That people believe that certain preachers
are of God simply because of their crowds and their buildings. A person said to
me, “You see, the Christian Scientists must be right — look at the beautiful
buildings. Look at all the people following them.” Yes, everybody can belong to
it. You can go to any brother you like, you can go to any theatre you like, you
can go to any race course you like, you can be mixed up with the rest of the
people in your life and still be a Christian Scientist. You can have the devil
right and left and anywhere, and still belong to Christian Science.
7.
As Churches turn away from the Holy Spirit
many believers to go to false teachers.
The secret of many people going into
Christian Science is a barren church that had not the Holy Ghost. Christian
Science exists because the churches have a barren place because they haven’t
the Holy Ghost. There would be no room for Christian Science if the churches
were filled with the Holy Ghost.
8.
The last days are a time for the true
people of God to engage in extravagant asking.
Up to this present time the Lord’s word is
for us, “Hitherto ye have asked nothing.” Surely you people that have been asking
great things from God for a long time would be amazed if you entered into it
with clear knowledge that it is the Master, it is Jesus, who has such knowledge,
of the mightiness of the power of the Father, of the joint union with Him, that
nothing is
impossible for you to ask. Surely it
is He only Who could say “Hitherto you have asked nothing.”
So God means me to press you another step
forward. Begin to’ believe on extravagant asking, believing that God is pleased
when you ask large things.
Smith Wigglesworth’s prophecy (beginning of
20th century)
“Australia, you have been chosen by God for
a great move of the Holy Spirit. This move of God will be the greatest move of
God ever known in mankind’s history and will start towards the end of the 20th
century and move into the 21st century. This move of God will start a great
revival in Australia, spread throughout the whole world and usher in the second
coming of Jesus. This will be the final revival before the coming of the Lord.
“Before the coming of
the Lord”
God will up a man in Australia who will
lead this move of God under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This man will bow
down to no one other than God. He will have tremendous favour in the nation of
Australia.”
