SID: Francis, you provoke me to jealousy. Fifty years ago, you had one drop of God’s Glory. Explain.
FRANCIS: We were just in a circle praying, just seeking God and praying, and all of a sudden, I felt this, I could actually see it with spiritual eyes, but I felt this drop like a mercury touch my head and it just went down my back, down my neck, down my back and it just leached out all the years of when I was unsaved, and all the consequences of those crimes and sins against myself and others before I was a Christian. It just leached it all out. And I said to the Lord, “Lord, what was that?” And the Lord said, “That was one drop of my living water.” And I said, “Lord, evermore, give me that water.” And he said, “You only need one drop.” And from that moment until today, every time I think of that moment in time, that same cleansing thing goes down my neck and quenches my thirst.
SID: Tell me what happened to the vision you had in 1970.
FRANCIS: As a new Christian, my wife and I were reading our Bibles for the first time through. We had never read the Word of God.
SID: You made interesting point to me, last night at dinner. You told me most Christians read the promises, but they don’t read the Bible.
FRANCIS: Yes.
SID: There is a distinction.
FRANCIS: Yes, there is. A couple of years ago I started taking every word, every verse that Jesus spoke and taught, and asking the Lord, am I walking in this, am I living in this. The hard verses and the easy verses, we tend to pick cheesecake verses and leave the liver verses. But we need the whole thing. We need the whole package. So I say, “Lord, am I walking, am I really a disciple or do I have a religion about you? Am I standing and searching for the museum of what you did or the power plant of who you are, and having both? Lord, am I walking in this? If not, how much am I lacking?” Or maybe the next verse was, “Lord, when did you put this verse in the Bible?”
SID: So what you’re doing is you’re letting the Word of God excavate you.
FRANCIS: Digging out all to bring in the new.
SID: Take you back to the vision of 1970.
FRANCIS: Yes, thank you. So we’re reading, I’m reading in my Bible. I read Isaiah 59. I shut the Bible. I went to sleep. I woke in the middle of the night and there is a city covered in darkness. In the darkness, there’s faces coming out, massive amount of people. The place is obviously desolate. The time is already passed for anything good. It’s just awful. But the Holy Spirit began to flow through us. Our faces were radiant with the Light of God. I felt the surge of the electricity of God like a geyser of life coming out from me and they were, multitudes were receiving the Lord. And when I woke, I turned, for the first time in my life I picked up my Bible, and for the first time I turned the page and I read Isaiah 60. Isaiah 60 is a promise for the End Times. Isaiah 60 says, “Arise, shine, for your light is come and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
SID: That’s where, this is what we’re about ready to have on Planet Earth and I feel a bubble of it now. But I’m going to tell you something. When this Glory comes in, you won’t have to just feel it, you will see it. It will be tangible. Will you pray, a Word of God, pray for us to be as hungry as you are right now.
FRANCIS: Lord, we do pray, Father, for everyone here and everyone watching. Father, I pray for the hunger of God, that thing that compelled Paul where he said, “I press on for the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Lord, I pray for every heart who’s been disappointed that they would be set free and they’d be able to walk out of the past and the snare of the trapper into the arms of their beloved, in Jesus’s name. Amen and amen.
SID: Now Moses, I want you to pray this, this is important. Moses prayed a prayer and this would be on your mouth 20, 30, 40 times a day. This is what Moses prayed: Show me your Glory.
FRANCIS: Yes.
SID: Show me your Glory!
