Through this Vision, millions of people have found Christ around the world, and through the initial work of FGBMFI, the charismatic renewal affected almost every church in the world. THE VISION
As told by Demos Shakarian
God gave this most precious Vision to a businessman/dairyman. I am the One who removes the beam from unseeing eyes.”
“And now, I will let you see, indeed.”
With that, the Lord
allowed me to rise to my knees. Lifted me, almost, as though the power which put me on the floor was now pushing me up. The ceiling of our room seemed to disappear. Instead, I found myself staring up into the sky – a daytime sky – although outside it was dark.
“My son, I knew you before you were born. I have guided you every step of the way. NOW I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE.”
I felt as if I were rising, leaving my body, moving up away from the living room. Down below me I could see the rooftops of Downey, the San Bernardino mountains, the Pacific coast. I was high above the earth able to see the entire country form west to east. I saw people on the earth – millions and millions of them, standing shoulder to shoulder. And I could see tiny details of thousands and thousands of faces. What I saw terrified me. The faces were set, lifeless, miserable. Though the people stood so close together, shoulders touching, there was no real contact between them – THEY WERE ALONE, THEIR HANDS BOUND IN CHAINS. Their heads were boxed, their eyes stared straight ahead, unblinking, unseeing. They appeared cold, almost as if IN ICE from a winter storm. With a shudder of horror, I realized that they were dead. Then the Vision changed. Whether the world was turning, or whether I was traveling around it, I did not know. But now, beneath me was the continent of South America. Then on to Africa. Asia. Once more the startling close-ups occurred, and everywhere it was the same. Brown faces. Black faces. White faces. Every one rigid, wretched, each BOUND IN CHAINS, LOCKED IN HIS OWN PRIVATE DEATH.
“Lord!” I cried. “What’s the matter with them? Lord, help them!”
“My son, WHAT YOU SEE NEXT IS GOING TO HAPPEN VERY SOON.”
The earth was turning – or I was moving around it – a second time. Below me again were millions and millions of men. But this time, what a difference! THE ICE HAD MELTED – THE CHAINS HAD BEEN BROKEN! Eyes shone with joy. The once-bound hands, NOW FREE, were lifted towards heaven! These men who had been so isolated, each in his prison of self, were NO LONGER ALONE, but were now linked in a community of love and adoration. Asia, Africa, America – everywhere death had turned to life. THE CHAINS OF BO***GE HAD BEEN BROKEN! And then, the Vision was over. It was 3:30 in the morning. A WORLDWIDE PROCLAMATION
THAT EVERY CHAPTER IN THE WORLD TELL THIS VISION AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY CHAPTER MEETING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
