*"HIGHLIGHTS FROM **REGINA**, **SASKATCHEWAN**"*

* *

Pastor Femi Ogunrinde, formerly from Nigeria, and former professor of
Geology from the University in Regina, but now with his wife Remi, pastors
of "Lighthouse To All Nations Church," invited me to conduct a "School of
Revival" for them, July 5-8. * *Three years ago Marie and I postponed our
fourth trip to Israel for a year, so that we could join them with Paul Keith
Davis and Bobby Conner in a Prophetic Conference to dig out the wells of
1948 in that Province.



Sometimes one can be so close to the forest that they can't see the trees.
It was that way with me concerning the 1948 Visitation in this Province. To
get out of the Canadian Navy in 1945, I had to have a school or job to go
to, and I had neither. In desperation in August of that year, I spent one
night in the ship's laundry fasting and praying. At 5:00 AM God gave me a
vision. When I followed through, He directed me to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,
where George Hawtin had founded a Bible College.



Some years later God led the Ogunrindes to the same Province – but this time
to follow up on what God initiated 50 years previously. God led Pastor Femi
from a university professorship to pastor a church – but yet more for the
entire province. The conference in 2004 sparked things, but much yet
remained to be done. Then in 2006 a prophetic conference for the nations
took place in Alberta. Instead of speaking to a nation directly, Paul Keith
Davis at that time spoke directly to the Province to which he regularly
comes to speak. Here is his word:



"The revival that perished in 1948 to '50 was only a seed – it was
embryonic. The seeds of revival have been sown; they've come to full circle
and now He's about to pour water on those seeds. And I want to say
specifically that it's absolutely true, for Saskatchewan it seems like the
heavens have been brass. I know -- we've been there and felt the contention
– we have felt the battle that has been going on for the destiny of that
province. But you have come to a new day – apprehend it! I would even
prophesy right now to you today -- a militant anointing: 'The kingdom of
heaven suffers violence, but the violent take it by storm.'



"And I want to release also this word. You are going to model something for
the 21st century, Canadian church. I'm telling you that Saskatchewan will
model something for the 21st century church. It was sown in the 1948 North
Battleford Revival, which for a season operated in a very pure form. It
perished and went into the soil – but now it's come full circle for the
harvest – a new harvest of people that genuinely live together in fraternal
affection – people that love one another. The prophetic word the Lord Jesus
Christ gave truly is going to come to pass, and why not now? 'By this may
all men know that you're my disciples, when you love one another.' And I
want to release that word now."



Pastor Femi shared with me how He saw God's leading for me to leave that
visitation in February of 1949. He saw that God was preparing me as a
Plumbline, and lest I be corrupted by what was beginning to creep in, He
moved me to the States to the south, shut every door to me in Pentecostal
circles, and set me in a Baptist Seminary and Baptist churches for the next
18 years, where I became proficient in Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and started
work on producing Greek studies on the major words of the Greek New
Testament, and an Interlinear Greek New Testament based on the labors of Dr.
Ivan Panin.



So -- sovereignly the Ogunrindes and I were brought to Saskatchewan, though
30 years apart. Now we both see that what God started in 1948 in the
Restoration of "Presbytery" and 11 other Restoration principles – now in
full circle He has returned to bring the "Presbytery" principle into
maturity. It was initiated in the early church simply for "laying on of
hands and prophecy", which was soon corrupted following 1948. But in Acts 13
we see how 5 elders as a "Presbytery" sitting in the Gate of the City Church
of Antioch, commissioned and sent out the first missionaries! And then in
Acts 15 see the city Presbytery of the City Church of Jerusalem solving the
great Judaizing controversy, that sent Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem to
entreat them to look after those members going out and upsetting the Gentile
churches established by Paul. We see a city presbytery in effect in the Book
of Ruth, solving a property and inheritance conflict, and legally turning
over to Boaz Ruth, who became the ancestress of King David and King Jesus!



So – expect a Presbytery and Provincial Church of Saskatchewan on THIS order
in the not too distant future, and then the same for each major city of the
province. Will Timothys still be ordained into the 5-fold ministry by
presbytery with prophecy and the laying on of hands? Of course! Will it
spread to the other provinces and then other nations and cities to the end
of the world? This is EXACTY what Pastor David Yonggi Cho prophesied 3 times
in Canada in 1975 in Kelowna, BC – then in Toronto in 1979 and finally just
outside of Halifax in 1984. To the ends of the dark corners of the earth
Canadians like golden and red maple leaves in the autumn will be blown by
the Holy Spirit to spear-head evangelism and missions in this measure!



But back to 1948. Paul Keith Davis was correct. That visitation started out
in a very pure form. For the summer George Hawtin asked me to serve with him
along with 5 other elders for that first large demonstration of what God was
birthing starting February 11, 1948. In October in Edmonton it went one step
further with the restoration of the Heavenly Choir. In 1944 "Forty Years of
Signs and Wonders in the Life of Mrs. Maria Woodworth-Etter" was lent to me
in Victoria following my conversion. When I read the portion concerning the
Heavenly Choir, the Spirit spoke to my spirit – "In the not too distant
future you will see this restored." At the instigation of Ern Hawtin and the
assent of his brother George, I spoke on this in Edmonton, and God honored
our faith by falling on that meeting with this restoration.



But in the next year, signs of departure soon came. I went to one of the
leaders with my concern, not to convert them, but to explain why I would be
withdrawing if the doctrinal direction did not come back where the
Logos-word and Rhema-word agreed. Logos appears 330 times in the Greek New
Testament -- the objective word of God. Rhema, the spiritual manifesting
that subjectively sets it forth through the gifts of the Spirit, appears but
70 times – 4 ½ to 1. – We should at all times be measuring ALL prophecy and
ALL manifestation by the Logos word of God. To the Torah (teaching) and the
Testimony – If they speak not according to THIS word, it is because there is
no Light in them.



One July afternoon at North Battleford, George Hawtin came up behind me
while I was working on a Greek Word Study and said – "Jimmy – I wish I could
do that." I thought to myself – "What will happen to this move if you
don't?" Suffice it to say, an extreme position on the "Manifestation of the
Sons of God" started to creep in – where post-resurrection events start to
be posited THIS side of the resurrection. Perfection will NOT come until
Jesus returns and the Resurrection takes place. Did all embrace this view?
Of course not! Did even those who embraced it all see alike? Of course not!
But my father used to say, "If one aspirin is good for you, 4 are better.
Not so! Four can give you ulcers.

Next an extreme position of "Ultimate Reconciliation" started to appear.
Derek Prince has most ably confronted this error, in which even the devil
and the wicked will be saved. Dr. Thayer of the renowned Greek Lexicon
bearing his name ably addresses this. A lady approached him and said, Dr.
Thayer, I am confused over eternal punishment and how to handle this
doctrine. Could you help me?" He answered, "Well there are four Greek words
describing Hell and its Ages. There is "aion" – age; then there is ai*o*n,
ages; following that is "aion of ai*o*n" age of ages; and finally "ai*o*n of
ai*o*n" – ages of ages.



"Now – each of those words as applied to Gehenna or hell, also apply to God!
Does that help you?" "Why Dr. Thayer, "she replied, "that is so clear and
simple, why don't you teach it?" "Why my dear lady," he said," I am a
Unitarian and do not believe the Bible. But if YOU believe the Bible, you
have no choice. You must accept what God has said!"



British Israel followed, which next to Islam is the ultimate in "Replacement
Theology." Then the church as "Babylon" – which is admirably answered by
many, including Dr. E. Stanley Jones. Of course the church is not perfect,
for you and I are members of it, and our time of perfection has not yet
come, but it will! The "One New Man" of Jew and Gentile together in the
Church will fulfill all the purposes and prophecies of God in the Bible
before His Son returns as King of Kings and Lord of lords.



So how can we avoid the above pitfalls and more that befell the1948 move
that started out so gloriously? By mastering the Word, and treating it 4 ½
to one with the Spirit. By being like the Moravians under Count Zinzendorf,
who had a prayer tower for 100 years in the Czech Republic, that was never
empty once in that entire time. Who like John Wesley had Class Meetings
where 70,000 in little groups of 8 were their brother's keeper, and checked
each other out on a weekly basis on the 52 major Word sermons of Wesley in
his "Doctrinal Standards." An unbelieving sociologist of England who
followed said – "If it were not for John Wesley and his Class Meetings of
70,000 each week, the French Revolution of that day would have jumped
the English
Channel and corrupted England. Lenin saw the effect of Wesley's Class
Meetings – adapted them for Communism, and shook the world for evil. Next,
who walk in the steps of 2 Chronicles 7:14. The above will break pride in
our lives, a spirit of exclusiveness – and keep us in fellowship with the
WHOLE body of Christ. It will break the spirit of denominationalism and
sects, and cause us to love ALL brethren from a pure heart fervently.



I love Brother George Hawtin. Did he slip away in some deception? Yes. Is he
in haven? I have no doubt. I gave myself to him as his assistant and fellow
elder in the 1948 Visitation. I visited him 2 years before he went home to
be with the Lord. Though in his head he had positions I couldn't accept, yet
when I asked him to pray at the end of our visit, I sensed his love for
Jesus, his fervent relationship with him, just has he prayed in Bethel Bible
Institute in Saskatoon back in 1945.  I went to the 40th year anniversary of
the moving of the school there to Sharon Orphanages and Schools in North
Battleford. Not once did I hear his name mentioned, though he was the one
God used to bring together the 12 embryonic revival principles that ushered
in that Visitation. It was almost like Cecil B. De Mill's "The Ten
Commandments."
Pharaoh said, "Strike the name of Moses off of every Obelisk – off of every
monument – out of every writing – off of every brick. "Let not the name of
Moses be mentioned again."



But when our kids do something wrong we don't tell them how awful they are.
We tell them that we love them, but that we don't approve what they have
done. I was not even asked to testify or say a word at that Anniversary –
perhaps because I wouldn't renounce George Hawtin completely. But I read
that God said to Jeremiah – "If you will take the Precious from the Vile –
you shall be as My mouth." So much from George Hawtin, especially in the
beginning was Precious. Yes, I found some later things to be opposite. But I
have not thrown the Baby out with the bathwater, nor will I do so. If there
be reproach for that decision, so let it be! And after George Hawtin, I
served Dennis Bennett in the Seattle Visitation, Ern Baxter as his Associate
pastor and Greek consultant, David Demian in the "Watchmen for the Nations"
in Canada, and now pastor Femi Ogunrinde for the maturing of the 1948
Revival principles.



The way you LAUNCH Revival, is the way you MAINTAIN it. Paul by the Spirit
said – "As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord – SO WALK YE IN
HIM." Same thought. But we can become careless, collect barnacles, and our
ship can slow up until we have to go into dry-dock, get scraped and
repainted, and then regain our speed.



The present leaders of North Battleford were many of them students present
in 1948. But they were not the leaders then. They became leaders, yes, but
they have not honored those God chose and used in the beginning. It is a
difficult situation -- that is true. But surely, there could have been a
better way to have handled it then? And now we face the time God is leading
to bring into maturity what started nearly 60 years ago. Will we today do
better? I trust so. I hope so. I believe so. He who profits from past
errors, will do well. He who asks for the old paths, and walks in them will
do well also. God is watching us



In 1995 at Whistler BC, as one of the three fathers at that time chosen by
David Demian, I saw another mighty visitation. I saw the wisdom of Freda
Cooper leading perhaps 20 of her tribal people in many hours of repentance
for departing from the ways of God, taking on pagan traditions and suffering
the judgment of God by Europeans who took their land and many other wrong
things. But she said, "Let not Britain, Canada or the United States have
representatives come to us to apologize and ask forgiveness, till FIRST we
repent and get right with God for our OWN sins. That July 1st was one of the
glory days of Canada. David Mainse of 100 Huntley Street affirmed that. He
also asked me as a representative of that original eldership Presbytery in
1948 to receive his apology for the way his fellowship reacted to what God
did back then. Was there not fault on our side also? Of course. But he would
not let me put him off till he fulfilled what he felt the Spirit leading him
to do, just as representatives from Britain, Canada and the States did
following the leadership of Freda Cooper on behalf of her people.



Back for a moment to "Presbytery." I have on my Website, *www.2rbetter.org *an
article entitled "A Historical Analysis of Two Concepts of Presbytery" under
"News." One is Paul's method – the other the adaptation that came out of North
Battleford by 8 daughter movements. Sadly the concept was sometimes used to
build up the authority of a local church! "If you aren't good, I (as pastor)
won't allow Presbytery to minister to you!" And then – "If you aren't good,
I won't help you to see the prophecies of Presbytery come to pass in your
life!" And what does our Heavenly Father think of that? What does Jesus
think?



Or – so often, a called in Presbytery from the outside is not allowed to
know anything about those to whom they will minister. On one occasion
Presbytery prophesied that the couple to whom they were ministering would
only be fully blessed by God if they remained in that church and like Aaron
and Hur uphold the arms of their pastor. However the pastor said later – "I
think we might have missed on that one. We commissioned them to Japan last
Sunday!" Reply – "Well, you can't hit it all of the time!" But not one word
of Samuel dropped to the ground. Or look at any of the Major or Minor
Prophets of the Old Testament, of Elijah or Elisha – SURELY we ought to move
on even a higher level than them with the more grace of the New Testament
Covenant! Every elder in the Presbytery that ministered to Timothy ALL knew
him ahead of time, and such a thing as above would never have happened had
they followed the path of Paul with Timothy. Such is tempting God.
Presbytery in the beginning probably only ministered in ordaining the
5-fold. The apostles went from house to house, 2x2, to bring a good but not
such a heavy blessing as Presbytery to every non five-fold member.



During the School of Revival just completed, I went over the 7 Revival
Principles of North Battleford as seen through the eyes of Milford
Kirkpatrick – then I went over the 12 embryonic truths as given to George
Hawtin and passed on to me to bring to maturity. I at the same time brought
out a revelation given to me in 1985 in Camrose, Alberta, entitled
"Spiritual Star Wars." It is based on the March 1984 National Geographic
article on the "Automated Laser Telescope." God gave me a vision of this in
answer to prayer. We have seen sporadic confirmations of the reality of this
through the years, but now God is saying that 4 couples in a city with
covenant commitment and the above operational principles, can take their
city for Christ by removing satanic principalities and powers, and then like
David, going in and mopping up the Philistines. I believe NOW is the time to
see this working on provincial, state, city and country levels.



So – bless you – those looking forward to God's last great Visitation. I
have been through 4 revivals, but what is coming – starting in
Saskatchewan– spreading throughout
Canada, then the US, the world – is the GREATEST yet.  At Femi Ogunrinde's
invitation, I have conducted 18 seminars in Regina July 5-8 on the 12
Embryonic Revival Principles of 1948. They will soon be available through
"Lighthouse To All Nations Church," 686 Pasqua Street, Regina, Saskatchewan,
Canada S4T 4K4. Pastor Ray Jelinski is the Dean of the "School of Revival"
that

sponsored these meetings through the church. His e-mail address is *
rjelinski at sasktel.net or itanc at sasktel.net *– A DVD is being edited on the
above, an interview Pastor Femi Ogunrinde did with me – 3 hours in 3 parts.
The rest of the lectures are all recorded both by sound and video. Pastor
Femi felt the Lord leading to have me come especially for the interview, so
that questions he had in mind could be directed to me as the last of the
living elders of that Visitation at that time. Ern Hawtin passed on to be
with the Lord last December at the age of 95, and Pastor Femi felt that at
my age he shouldn't wait too long! I turned 84 the day he had this interview
with me, and on Saturday I gave the address closing the 40 day fast
initiated from Nashville, Tennessee, on *07-07-07** at **7:00 pm**, on the 7
th day of the Bible week. *Could God be saying something?



My final message on Sunday on *07-08-07* was on "Clan and Household
Salvation," partly based on the revelation that came to Pastor Jack
Hayford's father in 1969 in Oakland, California, and preached by pastor Jack
in our church, First Baptist Church in Arcata California the first Wednesday
of August, 1882. I believe tens of millions of Islamic followers, like
Communism, will have their shackles broken before the end, and come sweeping
into the Kingdom of God. It has already started. On Mount Carmel through
David & Karen Davis already the "One New Man" is being demonstrated. Arab
and Jewish pastors are together serving congregations of Jews, Arabs,
Russians, and a score of Gentile nations – in the communion service. One
Arab pastor is receiving up to 800,000 hits monthly on his newly established
Net Radio, and is planning Television. Six million Muslims a year are
turning to Yeshua, the Hebrew name of Jesus.



Brethren who read this, ARISE! A sound of VICTORY is in the Camp. The Cloud
by day and the Fiery Pillar at night is moving. ASLAN (Jesus) IS ON THE
MOVE.! The END is near. HEAR the sound of the Shofar from Heaven. Be
prepared to be a part of this last great move.  Jim Watt
