Tommy Hicks’ Vision of the End Time Church
Tommy Hicks, an Evangelist, was used by
the Lord in the Great Argentine Revival. God gave him vision in 1961 of the end
times, a vision of “the giant end-time ministry.”
And it shall come to
pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young
men shall see visions:
And also upon the
servants and upon the handmaids in those days
will I pour out My
spirit.
Joel 2:28-29 KJV
The Lord woke me in
the morning (mid Feb. '09) and I heard the words "Visions and Dreams"
in my spirit. My immediate thought was that if this is the End Times, of which,
I think it most definitly is, then people all over the world should be having
dreams and visions as prophesied in Joel.
This vision began July 25th, about 2:30 in the
morning, in Winnipeg, Canada.
The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the
morning of July 25th, 1961. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation
that this has changed my complete outlook upon “the body of Christ,” and upon
the end-time ministry.
The greatest thing that the Church of Jesus Christ
has ever been given, lies straight ahead. It is difficult to help men and women
to realize the thing that God is trying to give to His people in the end-time.
I do not think I
fully realized nor could I understand the fullness of it until I read in the
book of Joel 2:23, Be glad then, ye
children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the
former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the
former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
It is not only going to rain the former and the
latter rain, but He is going to give His people in these last days a double
portion of the Power of God.
When this vision appeared to me, I suddenly found
myself at a great height. I was looking down upon the earth, when suddenly the
whole world came into view – every nation, every kindred, every tongue came
before my sight. From the east and the west; from the north and the south; I
recognized the countries and cities that I had been in. I was almost in fear
and trembling as I stood beholding the great sight before me. At that moment,
when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder.
As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth,
my eyes went downward – and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what
looked like a great giant. As I stared and looked at it, I was almost
bewildered by the sight. The giant was gigantic. His feet seemed to reach to
the North Pole and his head to the South Pole. His arms were stretched from sea
to sea. I could not even begin to understand whether this was a mountain or
whether this was a giant. As I watched, I suddenly beheld that it was a great
giant. I could see he was struggling for life, to even live. His body was
covered with debris from head to foot; and at times this great giant would move
his body and act as though he would rise up. When he did, thousands of little
creatures seemed to run away. Hideous looking creatures would run away from
this giant and when he would become calm, they would come back.
All of a sudden this great giant lifted one hand
toward the heavens, and then he lifted his other hand. When he did, these
creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go out into
the night.
Slowly this great giant began to rise – and as he
did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As he arose to his feet he seemed
to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he
began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord. As he
raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds.
Suddenly, every cloud became silver; the most
beautiful silver that I have ever known. As I watched the phenomenon, it was so
great, I could not even begin to understand what it all meant, I was so stirred
as I watched it. I cried unto the Lord and I said, “Oh, Lord, what is the
meaning of this?” And it felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could
feel the Presence of the Lord, even as I was asleep.
From those clouds, suddenly there came great drops
of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant. Slowly, slowly, this giant
began to melt – began to sink, as it were, into the very earth itself. As he
melted, his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth. This
great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very
earth itself. As I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became
millions of people over the face of the earth. As I beheld the sight before me,
people stood up all over the world. They were lifting their hands and they were
praising the Lord.
At that very moment there came a great thunder that
seemed to roar from the heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens, and
suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening but somehow I knew that it was the
Lord Jesus Christ. He stretched forth His hand. As He did, He would stretch it
forth to one, and to another, and to another as He stretched forth His hand
upon the peoples and the nations of the world – men and women. As He pointed
toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from His hand into this person
and a mighty Anointing of God came upon them. Those people began to go forth in
the Name of the Lord.
I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it
went into days and weeks and months. I beheld this Christ as He continued to
stretch forth His hand. But there was a tragedy. There were many people, as He
stretched forth His hands, that refused the Anointing of God and Call of God. I
saw men and women that I knew, people that I felt that certainly they would
receive the Call of God. As He stretched forth His hand toward this one, and
towards that one, they simply bowed their heads and began to back away. To each
of those that seemed to bow down and back away, they seemed to go into
darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere.
I was bewildered as I watched it. These people that
He had anointed covered the earth. There were hundreds of thousands of these
people all over the world – in Africa, Asia, Russia, China, America – all over
the world. The Anointing of God was upon these people as they went forth in the
Name of the Lord. I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch
diggers, they were washer women, they were rich men, they were poor men. I saw
people who were bound with paralysis and sickness, and blindness and deafness.
As the Lord stretched forth His hand to give them this Anointing, they became
well, they became healed – and they went forth.
This is the miracle of it. This is the glorious
miracle of it. Those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord
did, and it seemed that there was this same liquid fire that seemed to be in
their hands. As they stretched forth their hands, they said, “According to my
word, be thou made whole.”
As these people continued in this mighty end-time
ministry, I did not fully realize what it was. I looked to the Lord and said,
“What is the meaning of this?” He said, “This is
that, that I will do in the last day. I will restore all the cankerworm, the
palmerworm, the caterpillar – I will restore all that they have destroyed.
This, My people in the end-time, shall go forth and as a mighty army shall they
sweep over the face of the earth.”
As I was at this great height, I could behold the
whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the face
of the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa, and in a moment he was
transported in the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia, or China, or
America, or some other place, and vice versa. All over the world these people
went. They came through fire and through pestilence and through famine. Neither
fire nor persecution – nothing seemed to stop them.
Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns,
and like Jesus, they passed through the multitude and they could not find them.
But they went forth in the Name of the Lord. Everywhere they stretched forth
their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a
long prayer. I never saw a church, and I never saw or heard a denomination. These
people were going in the Name of the Lord of Hosts.
As they marched forward as the ministry of Christ in
the end-time, these people ministered to the multitudes over the face of the
earth. Tens of thousands, even millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ
as these people stood forth and gave the Message of the Kingdom – of the coming
Kingdom – in this “last hour.” It was so glorious! It seemed there were those
that rebelled. They would become angry. They tried to attack those workers that
were giving the Message.
God is going to give to the world a demonstration in
“this last hour” such as the world has never known. These men and women are of
all walks of life. Degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were
going over the face of the earth. When one would seem to stumble and fall,
another would come and pick him up. There were no big “I” little “you”. Every
mountain was brought low and every valley was exalted, and they seemed to have
one thing in common – there was a divine love that seemed to flow forth from
these people as they went together, as they worked together, as they lived
together. It was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed the days
went by as I stood and beheld this sight. I could only cry – and sometimes I
laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the whole
earth showing forth God’s Power in this last end-time.
As I watched from the very heaven itself, there were
times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great
congregations. The congregations would lift their hands and seemingly praise God
for hours and even days, as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, “I will
pour out My Spirit upon all flesh.” That is exactly the thing that God was
doing. From every man and woman that received this Power and the Anointing of
God, the miracles of God flowed continuously.
Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder
that seemed to resound around the world. Again I heard the Voice saying: “Now, this is My people; this is My beloved bride.”
When the Voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I
could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened and people from
all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be rising. as they rose
from the graves – suddenly all these people came from every direction – from
the east and the west, from the north and the south, and they seemed to be
forming again this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ seemed to be rising
first, I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvelous. It was so far beyond
anything I could ever dream or think of.
This huge body suddenly began to form and take shape
again, and its shape was in the form of the mighty giant, but this time it was
different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful, gorgeous white. Its garments
were without spot or wrinkle as this body began to form, and the people of all
ages seemed to be gathering into this body. Slowly, from the heavens above, the
Lord Jesus came and became the Head. I heard another clap of thunder that said,
“This is My beloved bride for whom I have waited. She will come forth, even
tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time.”
It will not be doctrine. It will not be
“churchianity;” but it is going to be Jesus Christ.
They will give forth the Word of the Lord and are
going to say – I heard it so many times in the vision – “According to my word,
it shall be done.”
As I watched, my eyes turned to the far north and I
saw great destruction, men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings
destroyed. Then I heard again, the fourth Voice that said, “Now is My wrath being poured out upon the face of the
earth.”
From the ends of the whole world, it seemed that
there were great vials of God’s wrath being poured out upon the face of the
earth. I can remember it as I beheld the awful sight of seeing the cities, and
whole nations going down into destruction. I could hear the weeping and the
wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into
caves, but the caves and the mountains opened up. They leaped into water, but
the water would not drown them. There was nothing that seemingly could destroy
them. They were wanting to take their lives but they did not succeed.
Again I turned my eyes toward the glorious sight of
this body arrayed in the beautiful white shining garment. Slowly, slowly, it
began to lift from the earth, and as it did, I awoke. This sight that I had
beheld – I had seen the end-of-time ministry, the last hour.
Again on July 27 at 2:30 in the morning the same
revelation, the same vision, came again exactly as it did before.
My life has been changed as I realize that we are
living in that end time, for all over the world God is anointing men and women
with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be “churchianity;” but
it is going to be Jesus Christ.
They will give forth the Word of the Lord and are
going to say – I heard it so many times in the vision – “According to my word,
it shall be done.”
Oh people, listen to me! “According to My Word, it
shall be done.”
We are going to be clothed with Power and Anointing
from God. We won’t have to preach sermons. We won’t have to depend on man, nor
will we be denominational echoes, but we will have the Power of the Living God!
We will fear no man, but will go in the Name of the Lord of Hosts!
