<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"><u>“<font size="3"><b>CHINESE
BEGGAR BOY PROPHESIES”</b></font></u></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">In
fulfillment of the scripture that <i>“In the last days … your
sons and daughters will prophesy …”</i> (Acts 2:17), a ten-year
old boy was used by the Lord to bring us a message we will never
forget.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">A few
months earlier this boy had been a beggar. He had arrived at our
doorstep in rags and filthy – in fact with more dirt than clothes –
with two other boys and asked if he might come in. When bathed and
dressed the boy looked like an innocent chap, and so he proved to be.
He at once took every Bible story and sermon to heart. He soon
learned to pray, and we could hear him praying very earnestly every
night. When the Holy Spirit came in power at Adullam this boy was
among the first to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit and to
speak in tongues.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Just
as surely as God spoke to men and women in the past, making it
possible for them to claim that the Scriptures were inspired by God
and to declare, ‘Thus says the Lord’ with such conviction that
they were willing to stake their lives on it, so God still speaks to
the children today, when circumstances demand it and faith and other
conditions permit it.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">One
night there was an unusually strong sense of the Lord’s presence
and heaven seemed very near. The boy I have just spoken about seemed
to leave the earth and be caught up in heaven. Ushered into the
presence of the Lord Jesus he fell flat on his face before Him in
humble adoration and worship. As a matter of fact the boy lay
stretched out on the floor in the middle of the room surrounded by
the other boys, who listened intently to the message that came
through him from the Lord. The boy sobbed and wept with the deepest
grief as the message was given to him; he spoke in a clear strong
voice, speaking a sentence or two at a time. There was a strong
rhythm in the language; the words were simple and pure. The
intonation of the voice, the choice of language, the penetrating
power of every word was such that no one who heard it could have
doubted that this Samuel was speaking by direct supernatural
inspiration from God.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">In his
vision lying at the feet of the Lord the boy said, ‘Lord Jesus, I
am not worthy to be here or to be saved at all. I am only a little
street beggar.’ Then Jesus spoke to the boy. The boy did not know
it at the time, but the Lord actually used him as a mouthpiece, using
the first person and addressing us and the children sitting around
him. Our longing is that this message might grip your hearts as it
still grips ours.</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">‘<font size="3">I
weep tonight. I am heartbroken. I am in deep sorrow because there are
so few people who believe in me. I planned and prepared heaven for
everyone, and made room for all the people in the world. I made the
New Jerusalem in three enormous cities, one above the other, with
plenty of space for all. But they will not believe me. Those who
believe are so very few. I am sad, so very sad. [This message was
given between heart-rending sobs and floods of tears from the boy.]
Since men and women will not believe me, I must destroy this wicked
earth. I planned to destroy it with three great disasters, but
because there is so much evil I have added a fourth.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">‘<font size="3">If
you have any friends, tell them to repent quickly. Persuade everyone
to believe the gospel as soon as possible. But if people will not
listen and will not accept your message the responsibility will not
be on you.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">‘<font size="3">Receive
the baptism in the Holy Spirit. If you will wait and believe, I will
baptize you. The devil deceives you by making you think you will not
receive the baptism, but wait and seek, and I will baptize you and
give you power to cast out demons and to heal the sick. Those who
receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit are to preach and bear
witness, and I will be with you to help and protect you in times of
danger.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">‘<font size="3">If
you think perhaps you won’t get to heaven, that thought is from the
devil. I will not destroy my own children; I will protect and save
every one of you: not one who belongs to me will be lost. I will
overcome. Pray for Mr. and Mrs. Baker, and I will give them power to
cast out demons and to heal the sick. The children in the Home should
be obedient. Do not fight. Do not lie. Live at peace. When you pray,
pray from your heart. Do not let you love grow cold.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">‘<font size="3">Tell

must press forward.</font></p>

everywhere will gather together and fight in one place, after which I
will come to punish the earth. Do not be afraid, for those who

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">‘<font size="3">I
will destroy two out of every three people. When I come everything
must obey my voice [Chinese: <i>Yang yang du yao ting o dy hwa</i>].
Houses will collapse; mountains will fall down; trees will be
destroyed. There will be utter destruction and not even a blade of
grass will be left. [Chinese: <i>Ih gen tsao dub buh liu</i>]. Those
who worship idols will die. All sorcerers and spiritist mediums will
be thrown into hell. Only those who believe the gospel will be
saved.’</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">This
is what the Lord said to us at Adullam, and we believe this message
is for all to whom we may be able to pass it on. It was given in
Chinese, as recorded above. The sentences were spoken slowly and
distinctly, with pauses in between. I wrote them down as they were
given. They were often repeated so that there could be no mistake on
the part of the hearers; there was ample time to record every word
the Lord spoke through his chosen prophet.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">When
the message was complete the boy got up and told us he had been at
Jesus’ feet. He did not know that the Lord had spoken through him
in the first person as well as to him. He repeated the prophecy,
saying, ‘Jesus said this … Jesus said that.’</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Having
heard the prophecy, written it down and then heard it repeated from
the prophet’s memory point by point, it was easy to see how, in the
Old Testament days, a scribe could record every word as it came from
the prophet’s lips or how the prophet himself could record his own
messages, saying truly, ‘Thus says the Lord’.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Just
as in the past God used a boy, Samuel, to speak in an audible voice a
message that was directly from God and was fulfilled to the very
letter, so we believe that He is still the same living God and has
spoken to us directly. We believe this prophecy will be fulfilled. We
must either listen and obey, or suffer the eternal consequences.</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Because
of “Visions Beyond the Veil” and many other books by H.A. Baker,
I have been praying for China regularly ever since, as well as for
India and Israel. These 3 nations plus Japan and Korea have held a
special interest for me to this day. Whatever will enable us to have
a deep relationship with the Lord Jesus, and allow Him to use us
today as He used these former Chinese orphans and beggars of the
Adullam Orphanage in Kunming, Yunnan province – <u>that</u> will be
pleasing to the heart of our Father. </font>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">I
mentioned Israel as a prayer target for me. In 1944 I was mentored by
Mrs. Mary Bertha Allquist of Port Alberni, BC. I had been her
paper-boy from 1938 to 1941, and when God according to His promise
revealed His Son to me on Passover of that year, I immediately
remembered that Mrs. Allquist would be glad to help answer my
question on the Urim and Thummim. She did so, and also shared
Leviticus 23 with me and the 7 Feasts of the Lord, especially
Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. God gave them to Israel to
observe, but He called them in the Bible - <u>His Feasts</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">. Mrs</span></font>. Allquist was a Jewish missionary to her people.

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">The
Feast of Tabernacles - the <u>last</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
great Feast of the Lord, starts tonight at sun-down. When the Lord
returns, He will at this time restore the earth during His Millennial
reign over all nations of the earth from Jerusalem. What a change
</span><u>that</u><span style="text-decoration: none;"> will be. The
first two Great Feasts have been fulfilled at Passover and Pentecost
2000 years ago. But the </span><u>end</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
of a matter is </span><u>better</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
than the beginning. The Glory of the Latter House, shall be greater
than the Former! The best wine was held to the last when Jesus
performed his first miracle at Cana of Galilee. It is </span><u>better</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
for us to be alive today than if it had been for us the times of the
early church! Pray for Israel. Her </span><u>best</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
days are just ahead. </span><u>Then</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
she shall be as a nation born from above in a day! She has returned
to her land in unbelief - but Zechariah 12 and 13 picture what God
has in mind for her at the end. “Father, in the Name of our Lord
Jesus, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And one day we trust to
see the New Jerusalem from above, the Bride of Christ, come down to
earth, then renewed as a Paradise of God like Eden of old, but even
better. Even so, Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”</span></font></p>
