God Launched Us into the Deep in Malawi

 

October 1998 Issue

By Ernest Angley

Luke 5:4-6, He (Jesus) said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. Launch out into the deep! The Lord didn't tell us to launch out; He Himself picked us up in His glory and power and launched us out. Into the deep we went, not seeking fish, but souls.

In crusade services both in Blantyre and in Lilongwe, we went into depths we had never been in before, deeper with God than we had ever gone. The Lord took us into the deepness of His blood, the deepness of His love, His hope, His saving grace and sanctifying power. He took us into His great depths of deliverance, such depths that the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit were working—first one and then another; two, three, four working at a time. The harvest was ripe, and the Lord did marvelous works!

In the services, thousands came to God in moments of time. The power of the Holy Spirit swept over them, making bodies well, saving and delivering. No one can describe how great the crusades really are. Only to see for yourself can you begin to understand.

People in places other than the crusades were also brought to Jesus coming and going, ready to say the sinners' prayer in places of business, on the sidewalks, street corners, anywhere and everywhere. Our people went into the prisons, into leper wards and all kinds of awful places, going where many would never go and snatching souls from hell, plucking them as brands from the fire and delivering them from devil possession.

Reverend Machamer preached in the Zomba prison, an institution that held the most hardened criminals, around three thousand of them. But he preached the blood, and through the blood it's hard to tell how many were set free by the power of God. How marvelous are the ways of the Lord!

We are being launched out into the deep and beyond. The ultimate anointings are changing our outreach as God's great power is used against the powers of the devil. It was nothing extraordinary for a multitude of angels to join us. God works in unusual and beautiful ways as the powers of darkness are driven out. He takes authority over demonic spirits, demonic powers, to set the captives free.

The fear of the devil must be conquered by the blood. Like people have to learn how to handle fire, those whose lives have been affected by witchcraft must learn how to handle the works of the devil; and they can handle those works only by using the blood of Jesus. I teach blood knowledge, show people that the devil can't hurt them when they use the blood of Jesus. Demons lose their strength through the blood. I use the blood. This time it was war. People were hungry for God.

In the ministers' meetings, the Lord built the foundation for the crusades. God uncovered the preachers who were in witchcraft. He even numbered twenty ministers in witchcraft in Blantyre. As the congregation earnestly prayed, five finally surrendered to God. God meant business; and there were many sincere, God-loving ministers who rejoiced as the greatness of God cleaned house, went out into the deep to prepare those separated unto Himself to receive an ultimate anointing. In the ministers' meetings, both in Blantyre and in Lilongwe, the Lord moved in fantastic ways.

A Blantyre paper carried the headline: Wizards Head Our Churches. In the editor's article, "Hypocrisy in our Churches," he stated that the visiting evangelist, Ernest Angley, should be given a pat on the back for being bold enough to uncover sin in the churches. The editor blasted them, telling them about their whoredoms, about the ministers who had been shacking up and what the group was called. He went on to say that if they couldn't take the advice given them by evangelist Angley, then the honorable thing for them to do was to quit the pulpit, continue their evil activities and let honest people lead the church. After all, he said, they're not indispensable, neither can they claim to be God's representatives on earth.

THURSDAY, APRIL 23 — BLANTYRE

I came onto the platform in the first meeting of the crusade, and together with the crowd repeated the name of Jesus. They were ready to do business with heaven. The devil possessed were delivered, all manner of diseases healed through the power in the name of Jesus and the blood of the Lamb.

I told the crowd to prepare to receive God's abundance, to give self completely over to the Lord and go forth with God's holy anointing to bring in others. This crusade would prepare them to work for the Lord like they had never worked before if they would yield. God has given me a special gift for healing AIDS, I said. Whole families have been healed; it astounds the doctors. I brought them the cure in the name of the Lord. We would have a special service for AIDS on Sunday, but many people this night were healed, set free of AIDS, also.

The Lord deals forcefully in signs, wonders, visions. Even before the Cathedral Trio began to sing, God let me know that twenty-one people would be healed of AIDS while they sang "Precious Jesus." The glory of the Lord shot from the sky to people as He moved. The Lord was in this place. Feel the presence of His angels, I said. Angels minister to those who are heirs of salvation. The angel of the Lord stands by my side, directing me when I pray for the sick.

Through the spirit of discerning, I told them what the Lord was doing: "The person over here who had AIDS: You had the sensation that somebody had put a hand on your shoulder while they were singing. You have your miracle.

"A lady: You have a baby with AIDS: Both of you are healed. You felt the presence of the Lord in your back: that is your sign.

"The man over there: You have been given a limited time to live, haven't you? But God says you're healed by the power of God. You have your miracle.

"The person back there: You have some paralysis on one side, but your worse condition is through AIDS. You are healed by the power of God."

People were healed of migraines, AIDS, high blood pressure, severe stomach conditions, among other diseases and afflictions.

A sixty-two-year-old man living in witchcraft was told that if he came out of it, the Lord would heal him of AIDS. He had to leave all the witchcraft behind, to renounce the power of the devil and walk into the power of Jesus, and the miracle would be his.

There was a woman whose daughter was dying with AIDS. She was told that if she came out of witchcraft, God would heal her daughter. God hates witchcraft.

At the end of the sermon that night came the Jesus blood call. Separate from those in witchcraft. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you (II Corinthians 6:17). It's time for the blood of Jesus to cover the house of God.

Unbelievable things took place in all the services, miracles of creation and re-creation. Our own people received wonderful miracles, too. In that kind of power, bodies are subject to come to normal. One of the ministers testified of a fantastic miracle he had received in the service. He had suffered and suffered because of vertebras being out of place due to an accident. While the trio was singing, God healed him. He felt the creaking of the bones as they went into place. He just sat there and listened. The next day he brought x-rays and told the crowd about his miracle.

FRIDAY, APRIL 24

I began the service that evening saying: I believe in miracles! Lift up your hands and tell God what you want Him to do tonight. Thank God for the power of the cross, for the blood-power of the cross. Through the blood-power of the cross we can trample devils underfoot. We do not have to fear the devil and his work. God is the one to fear with godly fear. Honor Him above all other powers.

Again the Spirit of God moved for people in the audience as the trio sang. A lady with an enlarged heart was healed. A person who had fallen when he was six years old, had since then suffered much with spinal problems—and would have suffered more—was healed. People were healed of nervous indigestion, of inner ear problems, of nervous disorders.

The Lord moved for a mother whose child had died with AIDS; He comforted her heart and assured her that God loved her and that her child was with Him. The Lord went into lives, into the fears of people to help them.

A man whose mind had not worked right since he was injured in an accident received healing.

A person with a grave problem in the family that had brought much despair and heartache was told to put the family into the Lord's hands, for the more that person did for them, the worse they became. Leave them in the hands of God.

Many were told that if they served God, He would heal them of AIDS. Other incurable diseases were healed. A person tortured with horrible nightmares and tortured during the day, as well, received a miracle.

God sent me to you to help bring you into great deliverance, I said.

THIS GOSPEL

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14). I preached about "This Gospel." The Lord meant for this Gospel that He brought to be preached with signs and miracles. Those who receive the full Gospel will receive its benefits. When you hold the Bible, you hold Jesus, His love, the divine Word of God.

This Gospel has all the freedom you will ever need. It dries tears and gives heavenly laughter. This Gospel says to take your burdens to Jesus and leave them there.

This Gospel tells you that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. You have no problems bigger than God; compared to the great I-Am, they are tiny. He is big enough to take care of you, to heal you.

This Gospel has the promise of the Lord: They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:18). As you receive the Word, this Gospel will go into action. It's living waters in your innermost being.

This Gospel says to dine with Jesus every day. This Gospel makes it all possible.

This Gospel teaches a born-again experience.

This Gospel tells you God is preparing a mansion for you. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14:2,3).

This Gospel tells you that soon the Bride will be going home.

This Gospel says the Comforter will come.

This Gospel lets you know that the body is to be holy, the temple of the Holy Ghost.

This Gospel tells you to submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).

This Gospel says that Christ liveth in me (Galatians 2:20).

This Gospel takes authority over every devilish spirit and makes them bow to the power of God.

This Gospel tells you that receiving the Holy Ghost is not an option but a command: And Jesus being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence (Acts 1:4,5).

THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST FELL

You who are born-again are candidates for the Holy Ghost baptism. In obedience, the disciples went to the Upper Room; and in obedience today, go to your spiritual Upper Room and receive the real baptism in the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of the Upper Room took over; faith of God leaped within. As the power of the Holy Spirit poured out upon the crowd, many were baptized in Him. The glory of God lit the heavens. This was their hour.

Then the Lord said there were 914 more He wanted to baptize. Some were on the verge of receiving the baptism. Don't be afraid to accept this marvelous gift, I said. You can have the Holy Ghost. Reach out and touch the Lord. Don't count yourself unworthy. Everyone pray: Lift up your hands one more time and help me call the Spirit on the 914.

SATURDAY, APRIL 25

The sermon Saturday ended with a grave warning once again against witchcraft. The Children of God have power over the devil. We need the Spirit of the Lord to be poured out in our churches. God is longsuffering, but He comes to the end. Don't try to pass as a Child of God when you are in witchcraft. If you are in witchcraft you have no right to carry the Bible, the book that damns you. God hates what you are doing, but God is going to give you a chance to surrender. Everyone lift a hand and say the sinners' prayer.

Angelic beings moved in to hold back the powers of darkness so that many could be delivered. Truly we were in a pouring out time.

THE HEALING LINE

The healing line was called for the deaf and dumb and for those who had no sense of smell or taste, and God gave wonderful deliverances. These kinds of miracles build faith, for they are instantly recognizable to the audience. When people see the signs and wonders, the demonstration of people receiving the sense of taste and the miracle of hearing, it is marvelous to them, and they accept it with child-like faith. Believing what they see, their faith mounts up until they can accept what they need for themselves. Thank God for those who will receive His simple faith! Faith has great simplicity, so simple that a child can use it. It's time to take the Gospel to people who will receive it. We lose time trying to get the Gospel to those who don't want it. Some of the nations are not going to receive it in any great way. They have a form of godliness but deny the power of God.

After the healing line, the Lord began to name the miracles that were taking place among the crowd. A man's heart was re-created; a woman received a bowel miracle. Cancer, diabetes, injured backs were healed. Miracles of re-creation took place. People with skin diseases, internal trouble, stomach growths, AIDS, were delivered from their afflictions.

A man who had committed an awful crime three years ago was there. He thought the Lord wouldn't forgive him. The devil made him think he was doomed, but although man may never forgive, the Lord forgives. The Spirit of the Lord brought him there. Give your heart to Jesus. Be with us tomorrow and decide, "I'm going to serve the Lord." You will find peace at last—you have been so tormented. You can't undo what you have done, but through the blood of Jesus you will find forgiveness and you will find peace. He will cover it all with His love, His wonderful grace.

A person was healed of AIDS, which he had had for one year six months and one day. The Lord wants you to know He knows everything about you. You have lived a life of sin. You have degraded your body in sin again and again, but you can never do it again. If you ever commit whoredom again, the AIDS will come back on you. God means business.

The Lord made numbers of people whole all over. Take it all—Jesus loves you and wraps you in His loving arms. The glory of the Lord was upon the people. The connection between the Lord and the big angel that stands by my side is close. He just turns from God to me and tells me what the Lord is doing. Angels started to move in among the people, touching different ones to make them whole. Angels minister, and more and more angels were coming. This was the Lord's operating room as miracles took place.

The Lord is here, I said. Jesus is appearing. I am looking at Him in all His glory. The place is lit with His glory. You who have yielded to the Lord have an anointing like you have never before received. Go from this place, carry this anointing with you. Touch your home, your bed, the walls with the blood-power anointing. God wants you to serve His greatness to others to be separated into the powers of God and powers of heaven. The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing (Isaiah 10:27). They were on a divine mission for their homes. I told them to go quietly with this anointing, to feel the holy sacredness of what they were carrying. This anointing can bring family members to God. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh (Acts 2:17). The power that God gave in the beginning of the Church, He is once again pouring out.

SUNDAY, APRIL 26

The Sunday service was dedicated to everyone with AIDS or the HIV virus. Get ready for a miracle. God will heal you and your children for His honor and glory, but you must serve Him and teach your children about Him. The Lord will not heal you of AIDS if you go out and sin.

While the trio was singing, God was already moving. People were being pointed out for miracles for AIDS: Ten here, five in through there, four over here, fifteen there. A woman who had been in witchcraft, surrendered her heart to God during the song. Four more in one section were healed, and then twenty-one were healed in another area. The miracle power covered the place. It was the greatest manifestation of miracle power since I had been with them. Others were anointed to be healed. Surrender yourself to Jesus and you can have your miracle. Many will be delivered. God is preparing many of you, but healing begins on the inside. If you have neglected the Lord, come back. Read the Bible, go to church, let the love of God pour through you. It's time to reckon with God. Now more people were healed of AIDS, and seven more were delivered from witchcraft.

The Holy Spirit uncovered much. "A person here is close to a certain ministry, but you haven't surrendered all. You committed murder. You will be dead within three months unless you give your heart to God.

"Another person: You have robbed and not been caught. God knows. You are dying with AIDS: Don't die lost.

"This person is in witchcraft, and you had a part in sacrificing your own baby by giving consent. God knows and is angry. The devil possessed you. When you come into the light of God, you will have such regrets.

"Another person took part in sacrificing a human. Only ten people know about it. God saw it. If you don't get right with God, you will die with AIDS. Three more in your family have AIDS, saith the Lord.

"A person in voodooism: You have sacrificed a child to the devil. If you don't repent, you will meet your judgment. You have AIDS and a limited time to live. Repent or hell will be yours.

"This person watched the sacrifice of a human to the devil. You believed in it, consented to it, approved of it, but didn't actually do it. Repent. Leave voodooism and surrender to God and declare voodooism is of the devil. You also helped destroy two marriages. God is angry. Repent.

"Another person: You have robbed a relative of a lot of money, all his life savings, and you gloated about it. You didn't care that he had worked for years and years for it. You took it all. Now you want to be healed of AIDS. If you want healing, pay back what you took. You have done a cruel thing.

"This man raped a fourteen-year old girl. God knows about it. You are in voodooism and think you are justified. In the eyes of God you are condemned to the lake of fire if you don't get right, and you won't be healed of AIDS.

"This person once knew the Lord, you had a definite experience, but you backslid. You went into witchcraft and spit in the eye of God. He hates your ways, but He loves your soul. He is giving you this last chance to get right with Him. Come back today and you will be healed of AIDS. If not, you will be destroyed."

The Lord was there to set the captives free, to reveal His love and grace. He yearns for people to come to Him. Today is the day to accept Him; you are not promised tomorrow: Today is your day of salvation.

His Spirit cried for the lost, and His love was reaching to them. He was calling all into His arms of love.

It was time to yield to God completely. More than one person was getting their last call. If they refused to yield to God, His Spirit would never strive with them again. Together, both saint and sinner said the sinners' prayer: Oh God, I am so lost. Please God, I don't want to die. Don't let me die. Give me a healing today. Save my soul. Heal my body. I will serve you. I will separate from all the powers of the devil, all darkness, and I will serve the true and living God. I will serve you, Lord. I will leave all the works of the devil behind, and I will worship you in truth and in the Holy Spirit. Don't let me die lost. I accept your truth. Save my soul. Have mercy on me. Forgive me. I am so sorry I have ever been in witchcraft, voodooism and any of the works of the devil. I want to live. I take Jesus. I choose the Jesus life!

If they accepted Him, they were free. Thank God for liberty! They were set free from sin through the precious blood of Jesus.

Honor God and give Him your attention. This revival will continue in the churches of those who yield to the Lord. This is a different day, a new day. If you don't take this to heart, the Lord will never move for you again. You have been in such bondage, but now God is setting you free.

As the miracle power flowed across the crowd, the Lord moved for people who had suffered for years with various disorders. Bones out of place went into place. The results and side effects of past injuries, problems that had caused suffering and discomfort for years, were healed, wiped away. Twisted spines were straightened.

I called the miracle power of God down on the hands of the parents for their children. Some of the little ones had AIDS. Hold the babies up before the Lord; the miracle power of God is falling. God's miracle power is being poured out. Babies and children are being healed by the hand of God. Believe God for your child to get well.

The healing line was called and then the Lord again moved for AIDS.

THE VISION CHANGED

Last year when I was in Lilongwe, Malawi, I had been up most of the night as the Lord visited with me, showing me the witchcraft in that country. When we went there last year they were a dead people spiritually, beaten down in devil bondage. Those not in witchcraft were afraid to do anything about it. In the churches some of the ministers were in witchcraft. Others not in witchcraft allowed it. Christianity and witchcraft were mixed together, and the depression, the oppression and despair were evident, giving the people zombie-like appearances.

God took me across the country during the night again and again in the vision. I saw fog, swampland, barren trees representing witchcraft.

Each night before I went on stage at Lilongwe last year, I would be praying backstage, and each night I would go into the vision—the swampland, the deadness. Then I would watch as the Lord would be delivering people from the demons of witchcraft, and I would see the power of God take out those demons right across the sky. They couldn't turn back, nor go left or right. The power of God took them away, and I saw the star of Jesus in miracle greatness taking them out. That meant many of the people had been delivered. Then it happened again. I would see this vision over and over.

But this time in Lilongwe it didn't happen like that. When we prayed before the Lilongwe services the two nights we were there, it was altogether different. I saw a big glory cloud and a miracle cloud, blue and gold. The two clouds were wonderful to behold.

This year they were a different people, alive, all smiles, lit up. God had moved in a great way. He let me know He had been working with them the whole year, moving and delivering.

Many times in this past year the Lord has taken me back to Malawi in the visions. Never before have I kept going back and going back to a place. The Lord would show me the green palm trees. Part of the time the trees seemed as real as if I were actually standing before them. Then the Lord would show me some of the deadness and how it was clearing out. I knew the Lord was letting me know that He was working daily. There were mighty deliverances. The blood had been preached and used in a great way. We had come with the ultimate anointings of God using the blood.

The blood is lasting; the power of it stays, blocking the devil and delivering people. The power in the blood doesn't deliver only at the time it's used; it continues to deliver and to set captives free. The blood had gone into the hearts of many people. They carried it into their homes and it delivered people in their homes from witchcraft. It was wonderful to see the Lord clear out so very much.

This year, the first service in Lilongwe was like one I had never seen before. Many manifestations were there, and suddenly I knew much about the people. The angel of the Lord stood by my side, and revelation after revelation came. Details about lives. Some had sacrificed human beings. A woman had agreed to give her child to be sacrificed to the devil so she could get more power. On and on it went, the Lord telling them their crimes to their faces. Then the Spirit of the Lord moved for a young man way back in the crowd, and revealed: You're planning suicide, and I can tell you how you are planning to take your life. You have the gun all ready, don't you? If you don't get rid of that gun, you will take your life. The next morning that young man got out of bed early, took the gun, rushed to the river and threw it in. He was behind the platform after the service when I came off, and said the sinners' prayer. The power of God knocked him down, and he came up a different man. His whole countenance had changed. The Lord made Himself real to that young man.

A lady had come from Ethiopia in a critical condition. She had traveled miles, and I can't imagine how miserable she must have been. She had a skin affliction, allergic to many things. The people in the hospital had to scrub her body down to give her relief. She had made a very difficult journey to get there. The Spirit of God pointed her out, told her exactly what was wrong, and God made her whole instantly. The next morning she was at the hotel to report to Reverend Manning about her miracle, how she had been made whole through the power of God.

Every individual counts with God, and as the power of God fell, bodies came to normal. Many on the verge of dying with AIDS were healed on the spot. As the miracles for AIDS took place, the Lord let me know where they were.

Salvation should help everyone recognize the greatness of God's power. Sin is the greatest curse to the body and soul there is, but one day our sins were all washed away through the blood of Jesus. With His blood stripes we also have physical healing, but we must apply the blood for physical healing just as we apply the blood for spiritual healing.

This is your hour of visitation, your hour of revelation, your hour to receive from the Lord. We're not stopping, we're going on into the greatness of God. Prayer, fasting and living in the Word are simple steps, but each one takes you into the greatness of the Lord. This is the same power that was in the Early Church, and it's being poured out in a greater way, for there are more people on earth today for it to be poured into. This Gospel must be preached to all nations, and then the end will come. It will be taught exactly the way Jesus taught it and confirmed exactly the way Jesus confirmed it with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. It's time for these signs to follow believers, and these signs will follow true believers in this final hour.

Thus saith the Lord: I have indeed taken you into the deep. The anointings will now be greater. My power will be revealed more and more. I'm opening the eyes of the heathen to my greatness, and I'm doing it through this, my people, who have dedicated and yielded self into my hands to be used for my honor and my glory. I see your tears, and I see your fastings. I hear your cries for the lost. I see the burden that you carry for lost humanity, and I am pleased. I am with you; I'm with you night and day, and I'm already preparing you for the next great outreach. This is your hour of revelation. This is your hour of visitation. I the Lord thy God am walking with thee. I the Lord thy God am talking to thee in this your final hour. My Spirit is crying to you night and day: Take on the strength of your God! Take on the power of your God! Take on more of the righteousness and holiness of your God. Take more of His love and grace, and use that love and grace to sweep the multitudes into the Kingdom of God in this the final hour.

My call, saith the Lord, has gone forth to the heathen through you, through you, through you. I called you and I brought you together for this hour, and now I am calling the people together, and you're carrying my ultimate anointings to them. You're carrying my power to them, sending my grace and love to them, and I am pleased. I am with you, and I am blessing you, and I am helping you.

The enemy is fighting you. The enemy is battling your minds and seeking to discourage you in every way, but it's just the powers of the devil coming against you; and it is not your God that's against you, saith the Lord. I am for you. I am with you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I the Lord thy God walketh with this people, and I am here now. I am in this place now, and I am here to give you more of my greatness. I am here to give you more of my power that you will serve it to others and break the powers of darkness for them in their final hour. Oh my people that are called by my name, do not be afraid of this hour. I have raised you up for this hour, and you have become my mighty hand for this hour. I will use you as I use my own hands to work and bring in the lost. I am with you as I walked with the people in the beginning of the Church; I am with you now. I am with you every hour of every day and night, and I am feeding you on heavenly manna from on High. Eat and be strong in the might of my presence. Eat and be strong in the greatness of my love. Eat and be strong in the strength of my blood, saith the Lord.

I am here. I am here. Feel my presence. Feel my greatness. Know that I am your Lord. Know that I am your God, and reach out, reach out and receive that which you need now, saith the Lord, saith the Lord.
