GLORY by Ruth Ward Heflin

RevivalRevivalRevival GloryGloryGlory “The glory of God is bringing revival, and if we want more revival we must make room for the glory. This is the great- est need of the hour.” Page 239 “Our failure to make room for the glory in our services is the most common reason that the glory is not seen and ex- perienced in church after church across America and around the world. I believe that most of the necessary elements are in place, but we simply don’t give God a chance. We don’t make room for Him to work. We don’t make room for the glory.” Page 239 “It is not for us to say how the glory will affect us. We must make room for God to do in us what He wants.” Page 246 “Prophecy is the voice of revival. Let your prophetic voice bring forth the revival. You’ll save yourself thousands of hours of vain activities.” Page 91 “Revival is bringing an acceleration of the purposes of God in the Earth, and an important part of the revival is the revealing to us of our Bridegroom.” Page 281 “If you have been sidetracked by trying a particular method that has borne fruit for someone else, turn back to find the Lord’s presence. He is more important than a method, a system, or a program. Come back to the simplicity of His presence.” Page 151 “Under the cloud is the only place of safety. It is the only place of divine health. It is the only place of guaranteed provision. It is the only place of sure revelation. It is the only place which guarantees us salvation for our house- holds and our nation.” Page 151 “When you discover things that seem to contribute to the glory, do those things more; and when you find things that seem to diminish the glory, stop doing them. It’s as simple as that.” Page 190 “What hinders us is rarely something complicated. We don’t have major problems that need to be overcome, but minor adjustments that need to be made.” Page 240 “It is through the revelation of the Spirit that you will be elevated.” Page 40 “What God wants to do in these last days can only be ac- complished in the glory realm.” Page 92 “God’s presence is the glory.” Page 132 “Revival is spontaneous, and we must learn to be spontaneous.” Page 152 “There is a rhythm to the glory, and when we speak of the glory cloud, we speak of moving.” Page 155 “Ordinary people are seeing things that only great people knew of in days gone by.” Page 159 RevivalRevivalRevival GloryGloryGlory Ruth Ward Heflin Revival Glory Copyright © 1998 by Ruth Heflin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED All Scripture references are from the Authorized King James Ver- sion of the Bible, unless otherwise marked.

Wallace H. Heflin, Jr. (August 24, 1932–December 27, 1996) whose life touched multitudes with revival glory. To all of those who have stood with me and sup- ported me in this challenging year. To all who hunger for revival glory. In Memoriam Rev. Wallace H. Heflin, Jr., born August 24, 1932, passed from this life Friday, December 27, 1996. He was a prophet to the nations. Brother Heflin was born-again on July 5, 1962 and began immediately serving the Lord with zeal. He first traveled with his father, doing tent meetings throughout Virginia and North Carolina and pastoring the Calvary Pentecostal Tabernacle in Callao, Virginia. Then he began traveling the nations of the world, training men and women who today move in similar prophetic anointing throughout the earth. Although he ministered to more than one hundred and fifty nations, he had a special burden for Israel, China and Russia and ministered with teams in those countries at least once a year. He was a dynamic evangelist with an outstanding healing and miracle ministry. Many knew him simply as “The Miracle Man.” Upon his father’s death in 1972 he became co-pas- tor (with his mother) of the Calvary Pentecostal Tabernacle in Richmond, Virginia, co-director of the Calvary Pentecostal Campground in Ashland and the overseer of existing satellite churches. Under his lead- ership and guidance, the ministry his parents established in 1937 has greatly multiplied in size and outreach and has touched every nation of the world. Brother Heflin’s life and ministry has reached hundreds of thousands of people around the world. He was an apostle and father in the faith who encouraged hundreds of men and women to enter the ministry and to step out into a deeper life of faith. He was uniquely generous, and encouraged many oth- ers to give their way out of poverty. He had a beautiful prophetic gift and was tireless in ministry, giving all his strength to the Lord and to the people – until the end. He leaves behind a prophetic example in this unique time in which we live. He has already laid his hat at Jesus’ feet and is even now in the war room of Heaven, looking over the plans for Triumphal Reentry and his rightful place as general in God’s army. About the Title One night at our camp, as we were singing sponta- neously, one of the sisters began to sing a phrase over and over again about revival glory. We had been working on a sequel to Glory, and at one point I had thought of calling it The Cloud of Glory Is Moving because of a particularly powerful chapter on that subject, but I wasn’t sure that was the right title for the book. I was trusting God to show us the correct one. There it was, coming out of the river, flowing to us supernaturally, Revival Glory. The title came forth from the flow of the river.

Wallace H, Heflin, Jr., passed away in December of 1996, I received the news by telephone in my hotel room in Burkino Faso, in the central part of Africa. It was many hours before I could get a flight back to America, and while I waited alone in my hotel room, one verse of scripture repeat- edly went through my spirit: “upon whom the ends of the world are come” (1 Corinthians 10:11). I knew that my brother’s homegoing was because the coming of the Lord was at hand. I felt God’s time clock acceler- ating and knew that God would use my brother’s passing to challenge many people not only to be ready for His coming but to get on with the work of the harvest because time is short. The next several days proved this to be true, as large numbers of ministers, both American and foreign, passed by his casket to pay their respects to a man who had blessed their lives, and I could see that they were greatly stirred by his passing. At that time I sensed some of the negative events that would shortly come upon the face of the Earth. Yesterday morning, nearly a year later, in the Sun- day morning service in Richmond, I suddenly remembered again the same scripture: upon whom the ends of the world are come. This time I felt the positive aspects of the verse and I sensed the great responsi- bility we have on our shoulders to bring in the last-day revival in all its glory and magnificence. I know that we have the God-given ability to bring in the final harvest. God has used my book Glory to cause many of the questions people had concerning what God is doing in the present revival to fall away. Pastors are buying the book to give to their staff members so that they can move into the revival. I am pleased with the re- sponse it has received. Another of the things Glory is doing for people is opening the horizons of their souls. Numerous people have written to me and said God was doing some of these things in their lives, but they had nobody as a frame of reference to know if it was God.
