The only thing the Lord ever said to me using the word “election” was in June 2008: “One thing will save America, and it is not the election. It is an awakening to God….”
The Lord has impressed me with something very important. Especially for right now.
It started a couple of weeks ago, with my reading another book by someone who had a near death experience and visited Heaven. Dr. Mary Neal (I think that’s her name; I don’t have the book here) is an orthopedic surgeon, as is her husband. She is a spinal surgeon.
She drowned as her kayak was caught under a rock in rapid water in Chile. She’d been afraid of death by drowning, but said she experienced no pain, or panic. She seemed to be held in the Lord’s arms as one would cradle a baby. She did visit the entrance to Heaven, and shared her experiences well.
However, what I want to share here is something that happened when she returned.
She was in ICU, her body, and especially her legs crushed. She asked for a Bible. She wanted to read her favorite Psalms, but she could not read. Everything was blurry. The television. The nurse’s face. As she tried to turn the pages of the Bible, one verse became clearly focused. All the rest of the Bible was unreadable.
The verse was: Rejoice evermore!!! And so she did it.
After some time, another verse appeared readable. Pray without ceasing! And so she did.
She did these two verses, with the Lord teaching her how to do it even in a bad situation.
Then another verse cleared, the next one: In everything give thanks for this is the will of God!!
For some time that was it. Those verses were all she could read, but they were what she needed to bring her out. And they did!
Now, just today I was reading Habakkuk 3. Verse 16 speaks of “the day of trouble” (Hebrew tsara, tribulation). Hebrew commentators say this is the time just preceding the Messiah’s coming.
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fall, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and no herd in the stalls; Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord, God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places.
(Hab. 3: 17-19)
I see it so plainly. What will bring one out of distress is rejoicing!
I’m also reminded of my son, Chip’s out of body experience where the Lord took him up over the football field where he’s once played. There he saw crowds of people bunched up unable to cross the goal line. He was told that the play that would get them across to answered prayer was: rejoice!
The only thing the Lord ever said to me using the word “election” was in June 2008: “One thing will save America, and it is not the election. It is an awakening to God….”
He has never changed our prayer focus. And neither will we. Great things are happening. People are awakening.
Rejoice! Rejoice! And again I say rejoice!
Billye Brim's Christian heritage is rich. She sensed the call of God in early childhood. However, it was only after an encounter with the Holy Spirit in 1967, that she as a young wife and mother of four began to follow Him to walk out her call. For almost ten years she served as Editor of Publications for Kenneth E. Hagin Ministries where she also taught at Rhema Bible Training Center.
Immediately after ordination in 1980, she traveled to Soviet Russia in what proved to be ongoing ministry there. Since then she has literally ministered around the world several times over.
Kent and Billye Brim with Lee and Jan Morgans founded a local church in Collinsville, Oklahoma. A Glorious Church Fellowship is the foundation of Billye Brim Ministries and Prayer Mountain in the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri, and the soon-to-be-built Migdal Arbel Prayer and Study Center in Israel.
When Kent passed away in 1986, Billye was led to "study Hebrew in the Land." Studying at Ulpan Akiva in Israel led to the unique Seminar Tours she has guided in the Land from 1986 to now. It also provided a pattern for the Prayer and Study Center in Israel.
"Helping Pray-ers" is a God-given directive in her life. One place this happens is at Prayer Mountain in the Ozarks near Branson, Missouri. On 200 plus acres log cabins provide places for individual prayer or small prayer groups. Corporate prayer meetings are held twice a week in the chapel.
On Wednesdays at 12 Noon Central Time, the meeting is streamed live. Pray-ers (who have named themselves World-Wide Pray-ers) join in united prayer via thousands of computers in more than 60 nations. This prayer is focused primarily on an Awakening to God. For in a corporate prayer meeting in June 2008, Billye Brim and the pray-ers were impressed with these words: One thing will save America…an Awakening to God. One thing will avail for Israel and the nations, An Awakening to God. Several thousand pray-ers from around the world gather in Branson for an Autumn Assembly of Prayer she hosts.
Billye Brim is blessed to work with others across the Body of Christ. She strongly believes in walking out what Scripture teaches that we are one Body, with one Head, one Spirit, one Lord.
First Corinthians 10:32 is foundational in Billye Brim's ministry. The "good works that He has ordained that she should walk in" involve activity among the Jews, the Nations, and the Church-all to the Glory of God.
