THIS PROPHETIC UTTERANCE WAS DELIVERED JULY 26, 1973

1973 is a year of crisis in your own nation.


It's a year of darkness in some areas,
And doubt in others.
But it's a year of Light,
It's a year of Victory,
It's a year of Power in other lives.
'73 has half come and gone;
But the best is yet to come.
Tea, in the Fall of this year...
There shall come a Wave of Glory,
There shall come a Move of the Spirit,
That will change things Spiritually,
That will change things Economically,
That will change things Politically.
And instead of darkness overtaking;
Light will overtake them.
Instead of the devil having his way;
God will have HIS way!
Strongholds will be pulled down.
STRONGHOLDS WILL BE PULLED DOWN!
Some will be taken out of the way.
Others will be raised up.
And thos who have done despite
Unto the Spirit of Grace,
And have even persecuted the children of God,
And spoken despitefully of those
Who are motivated by the Spirit,
Shall be stricken . ..
And there shall be no healing for them.
It shall be said concerning them
As Elisha said concerning Gehazi:
Let the leprosy of Naaman be on thee
And thy house forever.
For you cannot speak despitefully
Of the things of God,
And do an injustice unto the man of God,
And escape forever.
For surely it is written
That judgment must begin at the house of God.
And if the Righteous be scarcely saved,
Where shall the sinner and ungodly appear?
And this is the day of reckoning;
And this is the time to consecrate your life;
And this is the time to cut off from yourself
That which would hinder
And that which would hurt.
Tea, cut it off!
And consecrate yourself unto Me,
Saith the Lord of Hosts,
And come apart for a little while,
And I'll speak to you,
And I'll show you the way that you should go,
And you'll walk in it.
And the blessings of life shall be thine,
And thou shalt be made a blessing unto many.
And yea, saith the Lord of Hosts,
It shairalmost seem as though
Tou were turned into a different person,
Because, you see,
Tm^lui&z-presmUd yeuxselftmto Him ._
So that He'll clothe you with His Power
And endow you with His Spirit
And endue you with His Wisdom
And give unto you His knowledge
And put into your hand His Power.
And so it shall be that you no longer need
To touch people but only point toward them
And the Power of God will come upon them.
And thou shalt see the fire of God
It shall break out
In the midst of the congregation,
For God is a Consuming Fire.

(^Jhe warm spirit of the summer
campmeeting began in the cold
of winter in January 1973. Ice
covered Tulsa' s streets during
our first crusade of the then new
year at Sheridan Christian As-
sembly Center. From the pulpit
one night, Brother Hagin related
how the Lord had awakened him
early that morning and had dealt with him about having
a meetinga special meetinga meeting where the
spirit of old-time campmeeting would prevail. And so
Brother Hagin announced that come summer,
we would indeed have such a meeting on that
same spot. For us, the "Spirit of Campmeeting*
had begun.
We'd never had a campmeeting before. We real -
ly didn't know how to go about it. But we had the
Word of the Lord that we would have "Camp-
meeting"and have it we did!
The news went out, primarily through our "Word
of Faith" publication at monthly intervals. No
special mailings or invitations were made. Yet when the time
cameTHEY CAME.
They came from the East...they came from the West. They came
from Canada...they came from Mexico. They even came from
Hawaii...from France...from Italy. Over 400 came from outside
the state of Oklahoma. And since no registration was made, we
could only guess as to how many Oklahoman's shared in the rich
spiritual fare.
From North Carolina they came and later wrote, "My wife and I are rejoicing in the Lord for the
way He touched our lives during the Summer Campmeeting...It was apparent to us from the first
message that the anointing of God was on His servants."
And from Ohio we received this report, "When April 'Word of Faith' mentioned the coming sem-
inar, I told Jesus that I desired to go and that I was claiming $300 from His bounty, for I would
not have had the money unless He could supply. Praise God, He not only supplied the money from
an unexpected source (sale of an item) but the amount was into four figures. And the man God
used later said he didn't really know why he was buying this item. So I came to Tulsa "
And from Detroit, John and Pat Bulloch came to Tulsa. Shortly before, John had felt the call of
the Lord upon his life to full time ministry. He quit a good job, used his money to pay down on
a motor home, and had enough left over to get from Detroit to Tulsa. Even though there wasn't
enough left over for the return trip, John and Pat came in faith to Camp-
meeting...and the Lord fed their spirits and ministered to them. He provided
for their material needs, too, and the funds to return to Detroit. Now that' s
a victorious story, but it doesn't end there.
We had a crusade scheduled for Detroit in August. It
was there that the Lord brought together the details of
obtaining the necessary equipment, cameras, etc.,
required for the new television ministry. We knew the
Lord was leading in this direction but we had no qual-
ified personnel. In this business, not only a technical
2
knowledge, or head knowledge, is needed, but also a heart knowledge. Then someone said, "Wasn't
John Bulloch in your Campmeeting?" It seems that the job John had quit was that of an electron-
ics engineer. He had the necessary technical "know-how" coupled with an anointed heart. John is
now filming our crusades for the television ministry and ministering elsewhere as the Lord leads.
There are so many individual stories we could share, but space does not permit. Suffice it to say,
"Praise the Lord. All glory and honor is ascribed to His Lovely Name."
From all walks of life they came. They came wearing conservative business suits...they came
wearing brightly colored plaid suits. They came wearing nun's habits...street dresses...peasant
dresses. Methodists came...Baptists came...Pentecostals came...Catholics came...Lutherans
came...The Christian Missionary Alliance came...THE BODY CAME.
AND THE LORD WAS HERE. And He fed us from a full table...Reverend Roy Hicks of Portland,
Oregon taught each morning session on "Faith"a familiar subject to those who are partakers
of Brother Hagin's ministry. One Lord...One Faith...but taught by a different member of the
Body of Christ and in his own unique way. And how we did feast!
Afternoons we were given a taste of the Spiritual gifts as the J. R. Goodwins, pastors of the First
Assembly of God Church in Pasadena, Texas, taught on and then ministered in the Gifts of the
Spirit in their incomparable manner. The Holy Spirit ministered to us individually and collec-
tively in such a personal way through these dedicated vessels.
Music to lift our spirits to another realm of praise and adoration was a vital part of Campmeeting.
Vicki Jamison' s beautiful voice became vibrant under the anointing of God's Holy Spirit. Sharon
Bell's ministry at the keyboards was of another dimension. And under Vep Ellis' direction, the
worship in song by the congregation surely entered the throne room.
The part of the Body of Christ assembled for Campmeeting was filled with "Campmeeting Spirit"...
And in this Spirit, THE LORD MOVED. Each evening service was unique. Brother Hagin taught
from God's Word on healing and then ministered to the sick by the laying on of hands...and the
Spirit of Campmeeting prevailed...it was somehow "different." There was singing and dancing
in the church...and the Church was singing and dancing.
And then on Thursday, July 26, in this good spiritual atmosphere
of love among the brethren and worship of our Father and our
Lord, Brother Hagin stood in the pulpit and simultaneously stood
in the Office of Prophet. As we heard the words fall from his
lips, we recognized the Authority behind the utterance regarding
the remainder of 1973.
You have read that prophecy on page one. At this writing, Octo-
ber 1973, you have seen much of it come to pass. We are in the
3
midst of this Wave of Glory. Praise the Lord! God's Word never fails!
And the "Spirit of Campmeeting" went with them as they went away. Unbelievers came...and went
away believing. Those who came to receive.,.went away filled with the Spirit of God. Some op-
pressed by Satan...went away delivered. Many received healing...from cancer, arthritis of the
spine, deafness, crippling causes, etc..."And there was great joy in that city" (Acts 8:8).
Even the proverbial shoemaker's children were blessed. Brother Hagin is seldom in the office.
Most of the time he is away from home, out of state ministering. Our staff has grown since
the January 1973 crusade and many had never before sat under his personal ministry. Some
received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, some received healing, and all heard the call of the
Lord to consecration.
When the Lord exhorted us in His Word to be "given to hospitality," He knew this was a two-way
blessing. We so enjoyed having you with us this past July. We took pleasure in having you tour
our offices. It is our belief that you were able to see and catch the spirit of the future service
this ministry is to perform in God's plan.
We also believe you are seeing ever more clearly your place as our partner. As the blessed
Holy Spirit sweeps through the body of Christ creating a pure and spotless bride He is inspiring
end time stewardship. Our joy at being privileged to be a part of the last generation is increased
in bountiful giving and sharing. If the Lord has spoken to you and you would like to be a financial
partner, please return the enclosed envelope and our "Stewardship Brochure* explaining how
your savings can work for the Lord through this ministry will be sent to you. "Not because we
desire a gift, but we desire fruit that it may abound to your account" (Phil. 4:17, paraphrased).
Providing the Lord tarries, we invite you all to COME BACK NEXT YEAR...same time...same
station. We trust that this report has allowed those of you who didn't get to come to Camp-
meeting '73 to be with us in spirit. Please come and be with us in July of '74 (21st-28th)
spirit, soul, and body.
