BILL: Wherever I go in the world – I have traveled over 200,000 miles last year in 10 nations. I would like to give a hallelujah to let the devil know we are out to help fulfill His destiny. Hallelujah! Amen. Well we are going to share with you a little while and activate you in the prophetic, amen. You never start getting any younger, or any prettier. You have reached your peak. No, hallelujah. We have trained over 300,000 people in the last 37 years in the prophetic. I started training people in 1977, and I’ve been prophesying since I was 18 years old in 1952. And a few of you have been around awhile to see it too. I’m 5 years younger than Pat Robertson, and 6 years older than Sid Roth. So I’m right in the middle there with them, but at 82 I’m still going strong. Praise God.
Audience: [Applause]
BILL: And, we’ve got three children, eleven grandchildren, and sixteen great grandchildren. Amen. All my children work with us in the ministry. All prophesy. All my grandchildren prophesy. And now my great grandchildren. My ten year old’s coming to the platform and giving prophecies. Everybody coming under our ministry prophesies. Amen. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14, you may all prophesy, and I’m going to activate you in the prophetic today. And you’ll always be freer and more able, and I’ll show you then principles for it. I want to share with you a little bit of my testimony. I was called to be a prophet. I’ve been a prophet for 62 years. I’m a little different than what you would normally think of a prophet. Before we understood prophets, and there were prophets, people had their opinions about prophets and what prophets should be. You had to have a, like an apostle, had to have a vision of Jesus or a prophet had to have an out of body experience. Well I’ve had no out of body experiences, no angelic visitation, and I was asking God one day, I said, Lord, I’ve prayed, fasted – When I was in Bible College, I started a forty day fast every month –
Audience: [Laughter]
BILL: Because Oral Roberts just fasted 40 days and nights and T.L. Osborn had fasted and everybody had fasted 40 days and nights and at 19 years old I thought if I could fast 40 days and 40 nights the Lord would say move over Roberts and behold Hamon cometh! But I never did make that 40 days. I think 10 is the most I’ve ever made. But you know, He didn’t let me do it, and I was with my son when he was graduating from Leighton Bible College in California and Don Hagan came on and he was talking about how he sees in vision everybody he’s going to minister to, what color clothes they got on, and what they have and the whole thing. I said, God, if you can do that for Hagan, then you can do it for me. I just have to move with faith, grace, and gifting. And I said, I’m tired of having to move by faith, I’d like to see something, hear something. See, hear, feel. So I was going to drive up to about an hour north and preach that night and on the way I said, God, I’m not going to prophesy over anybody.
