"Prophetic Revival Report: The Army of the Lord is Coming Together and Advancing!"

Julie A. Smith and Bishop Bill Hamon : May 20, 2016
Elijah List

"I wanted to receive...I wanted to have the syncing of that "timing and purpose of God", because I've been prophesying the connection for the right timing and God's going do it, but I wanted to see a manifestation of it. I thought we had a real manifestation and God did join us and was upon us and empowered us to now move ahead... " - Bishop Bill Hamon

[Elijah List] Intro by Julie A. Smith: It was an absolute honor to interview Bishop Bill Hamon surrounding the events of AzusaNow, as well as receive his prophetic insight about the current season of the Church and what we have to look forward to.

Bishop Hamon is considered "the Father of the Prophetic Movement," and because of his vision decades ago to train and equip the saints to "prophesy," his ministry impact (Christian International) is worldwide and is a main reason that the Elijah List exists today.

You'll quickly see in this interview that Bishop Hamon is a walking Bible and is full of revelation for the times and seasons of the Church. You'll learn a great deal in where we are now and where the Church is going as he shares:

We can have a present third reformation which, I've said it's going to be all the restoration movements from Protestant, evangelical, holiness, divine healing, latter rain, charismatic, all up to the present, like all the restoration movements rolled into one. It's going to be a tsunami sweep across the world. It's going to call the glory of the Lord to fill the earth as the waters cover the seas.

We are in that day for His glory to fill the earth!

Be encouraged in this interview by Bishop Hamon and the key insight he shares.

Julie: Bill, you know that it's your doing that the Elijah List exists today. I don't know if you knew that. Steve shared that he was prophetically trained at CI (Christian International) by you when he first started to learn to prophesy and the rest is history.

BH: It's always encouraging to hear somebody like him got a start, and is blessed and motivated and it helped him realize his calling and that's always encouraging. I hear that quite often around the country, but it's very encouraging.

Julie: My first question is – in this long-awaited, 110-year anniversary you were involved with different events and rallies connected to the AzusaNow event. What was your overall scope from the actual day and the significance of events that surrounded it?

BH: Well, I was at the 2006...the 100th anniversary (of Azusa), and I took all my board of directors there (about 40) and we had a retreat out there then. I think it's very significant. Then the next day (after the 110th AzusaNow event) I spoke at the tent (at Azusa Street) and they planted a tree and stuff. But to know "that honoring and understanding" that we're building upon a platform of others... I'm a restoration person and I preach probably more on restoration than most ministers in the country do. Because I deal with the wholeness and Pentecostal, all the movements, and each one of them is the foundation of the building and we built it this far. I'm writing a book right now on God's World War III... that article came out the first of the year (click here to read on the Elijah List).

I'm covering that each (movement) has been an active war since the Protestant reformation began, since the second reformation began, and each one general, like Martin Luther took territory, then Wesley took territory in the wholeness movement and then A.B. Simpson in the divine healing movement, and (William) Seymour, and all those in the Pentecostal movement. Then there's the latter rain and restoration movement and through the charismatic movement and the move on faith and prophetic/apostolic and now we have the all saints movement from 2007.

Now we're in the third reformation and what I told them on Sunday (day after AzusaNow) was thank God for 2006 and all they did and the faithfulness in the Lord and being an instrument, and now we're in 2016. What are you going to do now? What time are you in? What's facing you?

I challenged them in the fact that they're in the third reformation and they have not only a chance to look back and see what God's done, but they're pioneers in the third reformation... and God's been checking everybody out for the last seven years, since 2008, when Heaven decreed the third reformation had begun. The purpose of the third reformation is to fulfill and finalize all the maturing that needs to be fulfilled and to demonstrate the Kingdom of God in every nation with signs, wonders, and miracles and prove that Jesus Christ is the only true God and that every nation becomes a goat or sheep nation to fulfill Matthew 25:31 where Jesus said the first thing He's going to do when He comes back is "He will sit on the throne of His glory."

So, I challenged them to pull upon and draw upon all that was restored by Him, and God's depending on this generation to be the finishing generation, the Omega generation, that really fulfills all things, accomplishes all things, and brings back the King. I want to see established a new move of God and create movement with God and what He's doing in this day now. So I challenged them on that, at the tent meeting of the tree planting ceremony, that we had out there with Dutch Sheets and I, and Lou Engle and Fred and Wilma Berry, and so, I thought it was great.

We had a great crowd out, and I reminded them that we're rejoicing over Pentecost and there was just a recent survey not too long ago and I found that of truly major Pentecostal denominations...42% or 49% or something like that... do not speak in tongues. I mean their members and elders and deacons do not speak in...
