So when he [the prophet] went under that shepherd rod, we saw more people leave here than we saw anointed. They were rejected from leadership cause they had flaws in them. See, that which is going to be holy unto the Lord must not have any flaws in it...it's all in scripture. When you go under it, he just turns you upside down and He looks every place on your body. And if you be found all right, He marks you to be a living, holy, sacrifice unto Him. One out of 10's marked totally unto the Lord. That's a shepherd's rod...He evaluates everyone that knows the Lord Jesus Christ as saviour...When I went under at this time, He said, "There's a couple of things that's still wrong in you, there's going to be a seven month delay in your anointing." -October, 1989. Grace Ministries-

I saw intercession on a scale like I've never seen it before. I saw men crying, I saw the leadership of this entire body_one big body_all of us all over town; we came together as one big body. Men were weeping and there were prayer meetings...and because of what they were crying for, these things began to happen. We had the power to forgive sins_remitted. We had the power to proclaim liberty to those that are bound and to remove the bondage of sin." -From "The Shepherd's Rod" Taped interview with Mike Bickle-

I was over there with Jim a while ago. My hands turned blue, and then they turned purple. And when that happens, that means you've got some incense that's gone up. You've got some intercession that's gone up that Papa's saying yes to. There's some prayers that's gone on here that the answer is yes...When you've got this kind of anointing, some of you are already entering that secret place of the Most High. You're already bowing down to that altar of incense. Your tears are falling on those coals and they're coming before Papa. Papa's saying, "Come with more. Believe for more." Because when my hands turn purple, it means you're getting through to royalty; you're getting through to the top. It's yea and amen; and that's what He's calling you into: that holy place of divine heath. The Holy of Holies which your children are called to enter in can crash that threshold. It's called the place of divine health...That's what the children are entering into: they'll have the Spirit without measure, they'll walk through walls; they'll be translated_everything that was ever in scripture." -From "Visions and Revelations," 1989-

I believe I have a word from the Lord concerning children that would involve totally hundreds of children that would come from the loins of this fellowship...This seed will bring forth the testimony of Jesus Christ and the glorious church. These are the delivers of the end time army...These are the children of promise you're looking upon...These are them the rophets have waited for many thousands of years to come forth...These are the ones he foreknew and predestined to come forth and to be the last delivers of the last age...He has waited over six thousand years for these to grow up. -Visions and Revelations-
