In February of 2006 I traveled to a small city in the bush of northwest Tanzania, called Beucelecelli. This region has a population of an estimated 40,000 with many others living in the surrounding area. Beucelecelli is fairly close to Rwanda. Bishop Zenobius Isaya had arranged this open air soul winning outreach, and I was not aware of the extent that we would need to travel to reach our destination. The trip to Beucelecelli involved a two-hour boat ride, and then a long bone-jarring six hour drive over grueling roads to reach the city. I was exhausted when we did make it to the town, and decided to rest and pray.
The heavens were truly brass over my head, and it seemed that I could not get any breakthrough in prayer. In addition to this, I was feeling a considerable amount of opposition in the spirit. I felt the need for some fasting. Isaya came to my room in the evening and told me that the host pastors were requesting to meet with me for dinner. However, I declined their invitation telling Isaya that I felt the need for fasting and prayer. I prayed nearly all night, and did not get any real breakthrough. When the sun came up the next morning, I did not have any clear direction for the ministry for the first night of the meetings, so I continued to fast and pray. About two in the afternoon, I finally heard from the Lord. The Holy Spirit told me this, “I want you to stand up on the platform and tell the people that the God you serve, Jesus Christ, is real, He is alive, and Jesus says to tell you that we will see the rain fall on these crusade meetings before we leave your city”.
Brass Heavens
I said; “Ok, Lord, but you know that people will not stand in the rain to hear the gospel.” So I was a little concerned with these unexpected directions. When Isaya came to get me to go to the meeting, I was glad to see about four thousand people waiting on the meeting grounds. They were hungry to hear the gospel. The first thing that I did was to stand up and declare with as much confidence as I could muster, “The God I serve, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, is real, He is alive, and Jesus says to tell you that we will see the rain fall on these crusade meetings before we leave your city.” I was later told that I was the first “wuzungo mhubiri”, or white preacher, to ever preach a healing outreach in the city. The Lord was faithful, and we saw several dozen miracles that night as we declared the Gospel of the Kingdom. There were also several hundred who responded to the altar call to be born again. They prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord. I had thought it to be a very good night. That is, until I met with the host pastors for dinner after the meeting.
I went to my hostel, and took a quick sink bath, and met the pastors. The very first thing that the main pastor said through the interpretation of Isaya was, “You are a very brave and bold man!” That caught me off guard, and I said, “I am?” “Yes,” he said, “You have stood on the platform in the full view of the whole pubic and everyone and you have promised the people that it will rain on my city. It has not rained here for eleven months and we are in severe famine.” When my new friend told me this, I suddenly lost my appetite and quietly decided that I would eat little, and that I would continue to give myself to prayer and fasting. Later, when Isaya and I were alone, the Bishop told me that some of the pastors were concerned for my safety. It seemed they felt that some of the Muslims in the city might seek to stone me as a “false prophet” if it did not, in fact, rain within the next two days. This gave me reason to pause and press into the Kingdom of God all the more!
I returned to prayer in my small hostel and again found the heavens “brass” over my head. Sometimes it is just better to worship! I had brought my portable CD player and began to earnestly worship the Lord. I chose the Michael W. Smith song “Let it rain!” Yes, that was exactly what I needed. I needed the flood gates of heaven to open up and for God to pour out, not only rain in the natural, but also His presence in the Spirit. I prayed and worshiped all night. When the sun came up the sky was as clear as a bell and the bright hot African sun pierced the flimsy blue curtains of my hostel room. I went to God In prayer again.
“Lord, you told me yesterday to tell these people that it was going to rain on this city. Lord, do you know that it has not rained here for eleven months?” (Of course, He knew.) I struggled in prayer all day. I was concerned and was asking for a miracle in the form of rain. During this time the Michael W. Smith song, “Let it rain,” was repeating on my portable CD player and my mini speakers! About 1 pm I began to hear a sound…thud, thud, thud. Suddenly the sound multiplied! Huge rain drops started falling on the metal roof of my hostel…thud, thud, thud. Suddenly there was an earsplitting crack of thunder, and an instant bolt of lightning lit up the street in front of my room. A lightning bolt had hit home in the center of Beucelecelli, and the rain was falling in buckets. It was an instant deluge. Torrential rain began to fall from the cloud burst. I have never seen it rain so hard, with the one exception of the time I rode out a hurricane in the Virgin Islands. This downpour was what meteorologists might call a microburst.
I jumped to my feet to dance, but I could not hear the Michael W. Smith song, “Let it rain,” because the rain was pounding so heavily upon the tin roof! I turned the volume on my little stereo up as loud as it would go, and began to dance and sing before the Lord with all of my heart! Let it rain! Let it rain! Open the flood gates of heaven! Glory to God in the highest! It was pouring rain; I had never seen anything like this in my life! It rained so hard that water actually began to stream in under the door of my hostel room. To my astonishment, I heard people laughing and dancing in the streets. When I looked out the window of the room, the people of Beucelecelli were dancing in the streets. They had buckets, pails, and any other containers that would collect the water, and were celebrating the deluge! I was starting to think that I knew how Noah must have felt. The atmosphere was electric, and you could sense that there had been a dramatic shift in the spiritual climate over the city and region. The heavens had opened over Beuclelcelli (see Deuteronomy 28:12). I believe that God had released a ‘signs and wonders or harvester angel’ which had stepped into the village of Beucelecelli at the instant that the lightning bolt struck. The earsplitting thunder and instantaneous lightning bolt were a sign in the natural of the breaking open of the heavens in the spiritual realm.
Canceled Culture
Somewhere around 3 pm I began to realize that if it kept raining like this the second night of the crusade might well be canceled. Again, I decided that it would be a good time to return to prayer and have some dialog with my Father. “Lord,” I began, “You know if it keeps raining like this the people will not come to hear the gospel, and if they do not come to hear the gospel, then not many will be saved today.” I continued like this for some time. The heavy rain continued to fall relentlessly pounding the tin roof. I knew that Isaya was busy keeping our equipment dry and making alternate plans, so I decided not to bother him with a call. The supernatural microburst continued unabated for another hour. By now, the crusade was one hour late getting started. About 4:30 pm the Lord spoke to me and said, “Isaya will call you at 5:14. When he calls, he will tell you that he is on the way to get you. Be ready; I am going to do something special in this city today. I am going to reveal my glory here. You will not have much time to preach, so when you stand on the platform, put on your sunglasses and tell the people this, “The God I serve, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, is real, He is alive, and Jesus says to tell you that the sun will shine on this crusade meeting today, and we will see mighty miracles of God.” In my heart I thought, “Awesome!” In my mind I thought, “Boy, it sure is raining awfully hard!”
At exactly 5:14 my phone rang and it was Isaya telling me that he was on the way to get me. When I arrived at the soccer grounds where the meetings were being held, it was still raining heavily. I was astonished to see an estimated 4,000 people were standing in the downpour waiting to hear the gospel. I had been in dozens of crusade meetings up to then, and had never seen a crowd stand in the rain to hear the gospel in Africa! When Isaya handed me the microphone I stepped up to the platform and, reaching into my pocket, put on my sunglasses, and told the people, “The God I serve, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, is real, He is alive, and Jesus says to tell you people that the sun will shine on this crusade meeting, and we will see mighty miracles of God today!” I began to preach and, within fifteen minutes, the dark overcast sky began to subside a little, although the rain was still falling very hard. There I was, with my sunglasses on, peering out through the rain drops. Within my heart I was praying for God to show up as I preached His word. The rain slowly let up by degrees. Five minutes later, one single lone sunbeam instantaneously cracked the sky, and a brilliant stroke of sunshine fell upon the crusade grounds. The lone sunbeam cut through the darkness like a laser, and illuminated only the soccer stadium and the crusade grounds.
I let out a sigh of relief and, to my astonishment, I could see a perfect circle in the clouds above. I could actually see the open heaven over the city. This display of God’s glory was almost identical to the way that I had seen the heavens open over the Sara Creasy Metcalf Amphitheatre in Bluefield, Virginia, in 2002 with Steve Asbury. The supernatural sunbeam fell at about an eighty degree angle hitting the grounds. All around the rest of the area it was still dark and raining heavily. To my amazement, when the brilliantly bright sunbeam fractured the dark sky, people began to pour into the crusade grounds. Within five minutes, several thousand more people appeared out of nowhere and doubled the number of people who were on hand. A few minutes later, I was just about to give an altar call to receive Jesus Christ as Savior when Wade Holland broke my train of thought. Wade was tugging frantically pulling on my wet white suit jacket sleeve. I turned to see what in the world it was about, to find him pointing excitedly at the sky directly above the platform and the altar.
What a glorious sign and wonder the Lord had given the wonderful precious people of Beucelecelli. I turned to see the most magnificent double rainbow that I have ever witnessed. It was so close that I felt that I could reach out and break off a piece and taste it! Immediately the Holy Spirit took over the meeting. I told the people of Beucelecelli that God had given them a sign in the heavens. I said that no white preacher can make it rain, or make the sun shine; only God in heaven could do those things. I told the people about Noah, and how God gave Noah a covenant, but that we had a better covenant in Christ Jesus! The atmosphere had broken open and the power of God was now present to heal (see Luke 5:17). I could feel the healing anointing in the air. The hair on my left arm stood on end and I knew that the healing angel was nearby. In fact I was certain that an army of God’s angelic hosts had invaded the city! I never saw the healing angel or any other angels in Beucelecelli. However, I could sense their presence extremely strongly. The effects of the angel’s presence, and the accompanying power of God to heal, were released as the heavens opened, and those effects were soon to be witnessed by all those who were present on the grounds.
I told the people, if they wanted to be born again and to have a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, to respond by coming to the altar. An estimated 4000 quickly came forward to pray to receive Jesus. After I led them in the prayer of salvation, I found these words coming out of my mouth, “The message and preaching of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, and going to burn for eternity in hell, but to those who are being saved, to those who are going to inherit eternal life in heaven and paradise, it is the power of God! The power of God is here to heal! We are going to see God do mighty miracles now!”
At that instant there was a crack of loud thunder, and then I heard a scream. Suddenly many people began to scream! The glory of God multiplied, and immediately hundreds of people began to violently manifest demons. The pastors and ushers worked as best they could to drag the demonized to the rear of the platform, but there were just too many possessed by devils. I knew that the power of God was present to heal, and to deliver, just like in Luke 5:17. I began to call out healing after healing. The new converts began to literally throw the demonized people on to the platform! I commanded this to stop, but they continued to throw people on to the platform anyway. The meeting seemed to be spiraling out of control!
For a few moments things got a bit out of hand. I like to keep order on the platform, and was trying to get some of the people, whom I knew had been healed, to come to the platform and give their testimonies. However, they just kept throwing people on the platform. Suddenly, I realized they were throwing the ones who had been healed on to the platform. Blind eyes had opened, deaf ears had been opened, and tumors had dissolved. There were people all over the place. “Isaya,” I bellowed, “What are these three men doing on the platform? I only want those who are healed up here!” “They can hear,” he replied! “What do you mean,” I asked? “These three men could not hear. They were, for sure, total deaf, but now, Sir, praise God, they do hear well!” We started to get the three deaf men’s testimonies whom Jesus had sovereignly healed when out of the corner of my eye something caught my attention. By now, the people were screaming and miracles were happening all over the crusade grounds. Thousands had just been saved and the power of God was now present to heal anyone willing to reach out and touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Jesus was sovereignly releasing mighty miracles and healings to the people of Beucelecelli.
Frankenstein
Now I saw a man walking in my direction with both of his arms stretched out in front of him as if he were seeking to reach out and touch me. His appearance, and the way in which he was walking, made me feel quite uncomfortable. He was walking like the monster from one of those old “Frankenstein” movies. I saw him come from all the way across the stage, and I could see that he was having some trouble keeping his balance as he stepped over and between the writhing bodies that were littering the platform. Streams of tears were flowing from his eyes. “Isaya,” I shrieked, “what is this guy doing up here?” pointing at the “Frankenstein” man? As Isaya spoke to him I took a second to grab a drink of water and peek behind the platform where there were hundreds of people violently manifesting demons. Most of the pastors and ushers were busy with deliverance – yelling and commanding the devils to come out in Swahili.
This was the Kingdom of God manifest upon the earth! Awesome, I thought; “The Lord has manifested His glory and the kingdom of darkness is coming out of people! God’s Kingdom Has come!” I saw my friend, Wade Holland, sitting behind me, and yelled at him over the din of noise, “Wade, get back there and cast out all those demons!” Wade looked at me a little dumbfounded as if to say, “Me, cast out demons?” “Get back there,” I ordered, and he jumped up and waded into the fray of writhing demonized people behind the platform. Wade did succeed in casting out a lot of devils that evening in the Name of Jesus. However, later he told me that there was one woman whom he could not get delivered. She was levitating, or actually floating about eighteen inches off of the ground, and writhing like a snake. The whites of her eyes were red, and the pupils of her eyes were white. This poor woman’s tongue appeared to be split as it poked in and out of her mouth. I saw Wade later as the meeting was winding up. He sort of “walked” the levitating demonized woman around behind the platform with his hand on her throat commanding the devils within her to come out in Jesus’ name.
Miracles were happening left and right. Now the man who had been walking like Frankenstein was ready to give his testimony. I just handed the microphone to him and he began to speak in Swahili and Isaya interpreted for me in English. The man said, “I was brought to the meeting today on my mat. As you know, I have been paralyzed from my birth. But when the white preacher said the words, “the power of God is here to heal,” I felt something like lightening go into my head. Power went into my body, my legs became strong, and I said to myself, ‘For sure, Jesus has healed me.’ You all know me, but as you can plainly see now, it is true. God has healed me and I can walk, praise God, I can walk. Jesus is alive for He has healed me!”
It turned out that the man was well known in the city. Many people did, indeed, know who he was. As he shared his testimony, the miracles began to multiply, and it seemed the faith of the people had exploded. Along with their faith, came an explosion of miracles! Healing after healing, miracle after miracle, manifested. I did not touch anyone. The power of Jesus was, indeed, present to heal. There were hundreds who were healed and hundreds who received miracles. This was the most powerful single healing meeting I have ever personally witnessed. What Jesus did that day in Beucelecelli was truly amazing. God is worthy of all the glory! I touched no one; Jesus Christ healed them all by His finished work of Calvary and through His shed blood!
We had taken the Philadelphia Gospel Assembly Choir with us to minister in praise and worship. However, the members of Living Waters Choir ended up ministering to those who needed deliverance and casting out many devils. If my memory is correct, the choir saw three deaf mutes healed through their prayers. We also saw God heal a number of blind, many deaf, a few who were paralyzed, numerous tumors, and a multitude of other miracles. We continued to get testimonies of the healings and miracles for nearly two more hours well into the evening.
At one point, my good friend, Bishop Isaya, was bringing a young woman to me to give her testimony, and he was saying, “Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!” When I asked him what had happened, he told us that the woman, who appeared to be about twenty five, had been totally deaf and dumb from birth, but now she could hear and speak. When I asked her to talk and placed the microphone to her lips she shouted, “Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!” It seemed that wow was the first word she had heard Isaya say and, since she had never heard or spoken before, that was the only word that she knew how to speak. We encouraged the mother of the young woman to help teach her how to speak! “Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!”
Now, when we have a great miracle in the open air meetings that we conduct in Africa, we sometimes let one another know that God has worked a great miracle by saying, “Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!” The next night the meeting grew, and there were over ten thousand on the grounds, because the testimonies of the power of God and the miracles and healings, traveled by word of mouth throughout the bush, and many people came to Beucelecelli from the outlying villages. The Lord moved in power the third and final night of the crusade meetings. Although the level of the miracles and healings was very high, there was no comparison to the miracles, deliverances, and healings from the second night when the Lord had so dramatically opened the heavens over the region. On the other hand, we did see several thousand receive Jesus Christ as Savior the last night. The biggest complaint I remember about the ministry in the city was from one pastor whose church went from 40 to 700 members overnight. He was upset because he did not have enough room for them all! Here is Isaya’s testimony of the meetings in Beucelecelli.
Isaya’s Testimony
“Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! A big smile does, indeed, come to my face when I do fondly remember our powerful time of preaching in Beucelecelli. They do, in fact, wish for King of Glory to be returning for a new crusade in the city. The pastors did also, at first, think that maybe evangelist Kevin may not been in right mind after first night. This is because he was bold in Jesus to tell the people that it would, in fact, rain on the city of Beucelecelli. For sure, at that time it had been some long time until it had rained in the city, and there was actual big problem with no water for drinking, animals, and also the people suffer much with crops. But our God is faithful. It did, for sure, rain very much.
“We did, in fact, see a great sign in the heaven. A big rainbow did come to stand behind the platform as we did preach about Jesus and His salvation. In fact, there were two rainbows beside one and other. Then God did, in fact, come and prove that He is, in fact, real and there many many who were healed from their sickness and demons that night. This was just like it may have been in old Bible times. One man, who was a paralytic from his birth, was also healed, and did, in fact, walk across platform to give a great testimony of Jesus. This one had not been able to walk before, some 38 years from the time that he was born, and was, in fact, known in the city. When he did share his testimony there were many who also had their faith build up to receive from God also.
“I shall always fondly remember the deaf mute woman who was total healed at the altar of salvation. She never had, in fact, never been with the ability to hear or to speak at all before this day. So she did not know any words. She did not know Swahili and also English – it also escapes her. So when we did ask for the testimony she could only shout out, “Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!” I am, indeed, smile even as I do write to you now. What a great miracle that we did see with this woman. We were much blessed, and also the pastors of Beucelecelli, as many have their churches grow while we visit the city. Many many people make the decision to live for Jesus, and the church did get a great victory. Now, no one in Beucelecelli cannot say our God is not alive, for he did, in fact, reveal Himself to the whole city! Many many deaf were, in fact, healed by the power of God. Many blind were also healed, and many many that suffer with tumor were also delivered and to be made whole by God Himself. There were, in fact, very many other miracles and healings also happen in the meetings, and it is too much to remember them all! But I shall always remember the deaf mute woman who told us, “Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!” What a great miracle she did receive from Jesus. Praise our God for He is good! “
Bishop Zenobius Isaya, Philadelphia Gospel Assembly, Mwanza, Tanzani
Wade Holland’s Testimony
In February 2006 and I traveled to Mwanza, Tanzania to help Kevin Basconi work on an orphanage. I arrive in Mwanza about a week after Kevin and I caught a bus to Beucelecelli to join him in a healing crusade there. But nothing could ever prepare me for what I was about to experience in those meetings when I arrived in Beucelecelli. The first night went well with many healing, signs, and wonders. It has been very dry and there had been no rain for months but Kevin said God the Father promised rain before the crusade was done. Wow you could have cut the heavens with a knife as we went up on the rooftop lounge to have supper. It was no wonder Kevin did not eat that first night. When he finished meeting with the pastors, and they told them that they feared for his safety. I know that Kevin indeed hears from The Father but to promise rain was a big leap of faith. We finished supper and went to our rooms Kevin said pray that I heard the Lord correctly!
Thanks a lot Kevin! I did not get very much sleep that night thinking about what might happen if it did not rain. The next morning Bishop came and got me for breakfast and then dropped me back at my room. I decided to worship the Lord and I turned on my mp3 player. I laid down on my bed to pray and fell fast asleep. I awoke some time later to the sound of what and I thought that I had left the shower turned on. When I tried to take a shower earlier I found out the water was shut off for the day due to the drought. I jumped to my feet thinking: “Great I will have a shower to cool off”. However it was not the shower. I realized it was indeed raining and quite hard at that. I went out to the front of the building to watch the rain and as fast as it started it quit. I turned to go back into my room and all of a sudden there was a crack of thunder like I had never heard before and it started to pour it was raining so hard that it was running in under the doors of the rooms we were saying in.
The people of the city were screaming and shouting and dancing in the streets. What a time they were having. I returned to my room and once again started to pray and praise the Lord I kept singing let rain let rain. Kevin had said we were going to the crusade grounds early but at 4 o’clock, but I still had not heard from him and the rain was still coming. Another half hour past and still no word and still raining hard are we going to have the meeting in the rain. I met Bishop Isaya in the hallway around 5 o’clock. He was on his way to pick up Kevin. He was all excited there were people waiting at the grounds for the meeting. I thought that it was funny when Kevin opened the door all dressed in his white African suite, because he had sun glasses on, but there was no sun shining outside, and it was dark and overcast. Kevin asked me where my sunglasses were I said in my room. He said get them because you will need them. He told me God said there will be sunshine on the platform. I was not going to argue after all he had said God said it was going to rain and it was indeed raining. We arrived at the grounds and there were thousands of people standing in the rain waiting the Gospel.
The choir stopped singing and Bishop Isaya spoke for a minute and then handed Kevin the microphone. You have to picture Kevin wearing a white suit that’s soaking wet from the pouring rain and wearing dark sun glasses as he steps up to the front of the platform to start speaking. Just before he starts he turned around and looked at us sitting at the back of the platform and smiles. I will never forget that smile. Then he turns to the crowd and screams “Praise The Lord” in Swahili and thanks the Lord for the rain and thanks the thousands for coming and waiting in the rain to hear the Gospel. Kevin went on and told everybody on the grounds that God was going to do even more miracles tonight than the night before and that God said that He was going to make the sun shine on the meetings that evening.
Kevin also told the people that he was instructed not to pray for any one that God himself was going to do the healings and miracles. Kevin then asked if there were any out in crowd of people that were not saved and who wanted to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Many stepped forward and Kevin led them in the pray of salvation. It was at this time all of a sudden a bright flash of light struck the platform so bright even our sun glasses were not enough to stop us from being momentary blinded by it. As Kevin prayed with the people I had to look away and when I did I saw this beautiful double rainbow. It was magnificent and I had never seen anything like it before in my life. I can only imagine what it was like for Noah back in the old testament when God sent the rainbow as a covenant that he would never flood the earth with water again.
I had to show this to Kevin so I rushed across the platform and started tugging on Kevin’s sleeve. I pointing to the sky. I have heard the saying every color of the rainbow but I have never seen the colors repeat one on top of the other before. I kept pointing towards the sky saying; “You need to see this”. Kevin looked up and quickly called the people’s attention to this supernatural marvel. As he did he described it to the thousands people that crowded in to the meeting grounds. The rain had stopped so many people were coming out and he told the people that the double rainbow was indeed a sign from the Father God just like the days of Noah and that it was a sign that God was sending his healing angles to walk among them.
I am not sure how many stepped forward because as soon as Kevin started to lead the people in prayer everything went crazy. That’s is the only way to describe it. It was ciaos. People were screaming and falling down everywhere. The pastors were throwing people on the platform and carrying people away. To say things got out of hand for a few minutes is an understatement. It took Kevin some time to get things back to some sort of almost control. Kevin kept saying over and over: “I do not want anyone on the platform. I am not laying hands on anyone or pray for anyone. This it Gods hour we only want testimonies from those who God had healed.” Kevin said: “Bishop Isaya what is the women doing up here? Get her off the platform.” Bishop Isaya told him: “But Kevin God has healed her. She was blind but now she can see.”
Later I remember Kevin telling me to go behind the platform and help the pastors case out demons. So I went off the platform and began to pray for the demonized. There were dozens of people violently manifesting demons. What a time I had we casted out many, many demons from a whole lot of people. I remember one incident that still gives me the chills. There was one demon possessed women who the pastors had bound by her hands and feet. This was because she was so supernaturally strong as the demons that were possessing her manifested. She had overpowered five full grown men.
I could not believe my eyes. I had seen several times on my TV at home illusionists do a lavation trick where they would take and have a women lay on a table and then remove the table and the women would not fall they would pass hoops around them. However, but I never expected to see someone levitate in real life. This women was hovering completely off the ground and the only thing holding her there was the restraints the pastors had but on her. As we cast out demon after demon and bound the spirit of witch craft she slowly lowered till she was laying on the ground. I spent a long time praying for her deliverance. Later when Kevin called me to come to the car as we were done for the night I was still praying for her and she was still growling like a wild animal. What an unbelievable time I had there in Beucelecelli. Nothing could have prepared me for that event in my life. I am still waiting for the time that Father God will allow me to experience his angelic presence in that magnitude again. When the glory of God fell God’s angels showed up and the demons had to flee! The third night of meeting went very well with many saved and healed but it did not compare to the second night when God’s power and glory fell after the rain. As we left the city the morning after the third meeting the sky was grey and threading to rain. As we left in the morning for the 6 hour drive back to the ferry on Lake Victoria the rain started to fall gently again. I thought to myself; “This city will never be the same”.

The testimonies in the last two chapters will help to broaden your horizon and mind set concerning the appearance of angels. I have included them to help the reader understand that angels come in an incredible variety of shapes and sizes. The Lord’s angels also have a multitude of ‘duties’ and effect the realms of earth in a much more complicated and sophisticated ways than many of us first conceive or understand. Especially as we first begin to learn about the angelic realm from our Bible studies. Certainly, the sundry testimonies of angelic ministry in the Canon of Scripture is much more complex than first meets the eye. Often, as we read the Bible, we miss the enormity and extravagance of angelic visitations and their impact upon the stories that we take for granted in the word of God.
A good example of this is found in Exodus 13. It is possible that the Lord’s angels played a role in the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night. Certainly, the angel that ‘rolled’ away the stone from Christ’s tomb was truly powerful and majestic. We see this briefly described in Matthew 28:2,3: There was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. Remember that the earthquake was so intense that the temple was shaken and swayed with the intensity of the quake. As we near the triumphant return of the Lord, the world will begin to witness an accelerated manifestation of Christ’s Kingdom. Many of these extraordinary angelic visitations will be especially remarkable because of their demonstrations of the supernatural aspects of the Lord’s Kingdom. This last testimony illustrates how some angelic visitations will be overpowering and extravagant in their demonstration of Christ’s Kingdom.
