I called the man who is known
as the last living link to the Azusa Street Revival
to interview him. I was shocked when I was told
that he had died that morning, yet God told me
to interview him. You're about to hear that man's
new end-time prophetic words as if he were here.
"It's Supernatural!" next. [Music] [Applause] SR:
Holy Spirit, thank You, thank You, thank You for
Your presence here right now. This is Your platform,
just take over. My guest, Jody Keck,
went to Israel with the man known as the last living link
to the Azusa Street Revival and heard
from Tommy Welchel firsthand
the same stories he heard. He even shared
never-before-released stories as well as
the end-time prophetic words he received in Israel. She also was told
he was imparting the Azusa Street glory on her, and she now imparts
it to others. Jody, tell us about
the Azusa Street Revival. JK: Yeah, Sid. Well, the Azusa Street Revival
was a sovereign move of God like we've never seen upon
this Earth since Pentecost. That revival began in 1906,
and to this day, 1 billion people can trace their
roots back to Azusa Street. SR: Wow. JK: So that revival was led
by a man by the name of William Seymour.
He was only 36 years old, and he was a son
to former slaves. He moved into
the Los Angeles area, and he preached
at another church, and he wanted to preach on
the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence
of speaking in tongues, and they locked him
out of the church. SR: Hmm. JK: So he moved the revival
to a little house on Bonnie Brae Street. That's when
the Power of God fell, and it became so big they had
to move to 312 Azusa Street, an old mission that
had been burned down, almost all the way down, that was burned out,
had been a stable. It had been a church,
but there they began, and the power of God
was so strong. William Seymour would sit
with a wooden box on his head, and he would sit there,
it wouldn't matter how long, 10 minutes, an hour, and the people would wait
and just pray and seek the Lord. When he took the box
off of his head, they say that's when
the most miraculous - and miracles began taking place. The presence of the Lord
would fill that old mission with the Shekinah Glory.
There would be a mist, they say, that would sometimes
get up to your neck, in this mist of the glory
of the presence of God. Miracles just exploded, and night after night
for 3 1/2 years. SR: And then one day,
he took the box off of his head, and what happened? JK: They said once he took
the box off of his head, the miracles stopped. They no longer had
the presence like they had, and they no longer had
the glory of God like they had, and the miracles ceased. They still were there
for a while after that, but it was never the same. SR: It's been speculated that there was no attention
drawn to him with a wooden box over his head, but once he said,
"Well, the Glory has been here every day through
all of these services. I don't need the box anymore," and it's as if the greatest move
over the last, what, 100 years, the Holy Spirit
just walked right out. Now, I know all these retired
people told Tommy these stories, but why did they pick him? Why did they tell him
all these stories firsthand of what was observed? JK:
Tommy was 17 years old when he was taken into
this community called Pisgah. There, many of those old saints that had been
at the revival lived, and they knew
that God had sent Tommy. They banded together. Many people
had come through there wanting them
to tell the stories, and they told a few here
and there, but they knew that God had said
to wait for the right person to share these stories with, and then he would be able
to share them with the world. SR: And you told me that he
didn't release these for years. JK: Right. SR:
Well, why didn't he, and how long did he wait to
release these miracles, stories? JK:
So, Sid, he had a vision of Jesus,
and in the vision Jesus came to him and said,
"Be patient and be obedient." And he said,
throughout the years, he would just burn
to tell those stories, and every time he would hear
the voice of the Lord saying, "Be patient and be obedient." You see, God's perfect timing
came 40 years later. SR: Forty years? JK:
Forty years went by. He said he didn't even share
those stories with his wife. He shared them with no one,
and he woke up one morning, and he heard the Holy Spirit
say, "Today is the day." He called his pastor to say,
"God has released me to share these stories
of all these miracles," and he said, "Tommy, do you know
what today is?" And Tommy just hadn't
registered, didn't realize. And he said, "Today is
the 100th-year anniversary of the very day that the Azusa
Street Revival had started." SR: And now, you went
with Tommy to Israel. I understand that was
his first trip to Israel, and he had visions
at the various historic sites where Jesus was. No tour group I know of
has had the revelation that he was getting
at these sites. He actually saw
these events taking place, and you put this
in your book. JK: Yes. SR: But tell me perhaps
one of the visions. JK: Once we were there,
God began just speaking to him so supernaturally in ways,
showing him these visions. One of the visions, when we were
at the Jordan River, as we were standing there,
right at the river, he grabbed my arm, and he said, "Jody,
I see all these fish, all" - because there's a lot of fish
in that Jordan River, and he saw all these fish.
He said, "Thousands of them are coming
up out of the river as people." He said, "Revival is coming
to Israel, and not only - what's coming to Israel,
not only is it staying there, but it's going to spread
throughout the world like we've never seen." >> Woo! [Applause] SR: I'll tell you, I want to - I do have a favorite miracle of
the ones I've read in the past. You know that, and that is the little girl
that came in with rotten teeth, and they all instantly
fell out of her mouth. Tell me about that. JK: Yes, so Sister Lucille,
she was only 18 years old when she began
going to Azusa Street. So she had an anointing
and loved praying for people with bad teeth. Some parents brought
their little daughter in whose - all of her teeth, her permanent teeth
had grown in decayed, and she was having
a lot of problems with them. So they brought her
into the mission and asked Lucille
to pray for her. Lucille told somebody
to go get a cup, and she brought the cup
to the little girl and had her bend over the cup. As she bent over the cup,
every tooth fell out. All the decayed teeth
fell out into this cup, and then she began
to put her finger in one spot, and a tooth would grow back in, and then she would move to
the next spot, and a new tooth - She would wait until that tooth
would pop her finger up - SR: Now, was it- - did it take a long time,
or was it almost instant? JK: It was instantly,
just a couple of minutes because it took her each-
- she would wait for each tooth, but within just
a couple of minutes, every tooth in that young
girl's mouth had grown back in. SR: I like that better
than those commercials that say in one day they'll give you a whole
full mouth of brand-new teeth. I'll take it from God
the Dentist any day of the week. [Applause] Tell me one of the miracles
that he never publicly shared that's now in the book;
the pregnant prostitute. JK: So one night this
young woman came in, and she was a prostitute,
and she was 8 months pregnant, but her baby had died
in her womb. So she came in, and she said,
"I want my baby to live. I've heard that there are
miracles going on here. I'm asking for prayer.
I want this baby." Well, Sister Lucille
happened to be the one that prayed for her as well,
and she asked her. She said, "Maybe it's best
for the baby not to live if you're going to be
in this profession," and she said, "I don't want
to be a prostitute. I want this child." Sister Lucille
laid hands on her, and instantly, the baby
came alive and began kicking. She said she could feel that
baby kicking against her hands. That child was born.
He was a boy. He grew up to later
become an evangelist who led one of the largest
revivals in the Los Angeles area and led thousands of people
to the Lord. [Applause] SR: Very briefly because this is
coming back like gangbusters, these creative miracles,
tell me about - -was it an ear
that was bitten off? JK: Yes.
One night, a lady came in that she had
actually been in a fight. She caught her husband
with another woman, and she and the other woman
had a fight. Well, the lady bit her ear off, so she immediately
went to Azusa. They prayed for her ear, and she said that once
she moved the handkerchief, that it was just raw flesh, immediately began
praying for the ear. She told her
to cover it back up, immediately laid hands on that
handkerchief covering her ear, and the entire ear grew out
totally healed, totally grown. [Applause] SR: Now, the strongest word
Tommy Welchel had for the future
of the world was through Prophet Tommy
Hicks' vision for this precise moment
in history. Be right back. [Music]

"It's Supernatural!" [Applause] SR:
Now, many in our audience would not even know
the name Tommy Hicks. Who was Tommy Hicks? JK: Tommy Hicks was
the great evangelist who led the revival
in Argentina. He went to Argentina
back in the '50s, and the dictator, Juan Peron,
was there, and God healed that man instantaneously through
Tommy Hicks. He opened up
this entire stadium to him and began a revival there. Tommy Hicks led
hundreds of thousands of people to the Lord in Argentina. Well, Tommy Hicks
would come to Pisgah where Tommy Welchel lived
and preach sometimes. So Tommy,
you've got to understand, at this point
was just 18 years old the first time
he met Tommy Hicks, but the second time
he met Tommy, Tommy had a word for him,
and he told Tommy Welchel - He prophesied over him,
"Tommy, the vision that I have," and I'll share that vision,
"but the vision in the dream that God gave me
about the end times, you will be part of."
And Tommy said, "Oh, no." He said he actually
got embarrassed. He said, "I was just
a young guy, 19 years old. I thought it's going to be
all these great leaders." He said,
"No, you don't understand. You need to listen to me.
None of us will be here. This is coming later,
but you will be here to be a part
of what God has shown me." The vision that the Lord
had given to Tommy Hicks was, he said that it was
an end-time harvest, and during this time
that it looked as if these - this giant was coming up
out of the river, but what the giant was, was the people of God
all forming together to make this huge body
of a giant, and during this time
the fire of God - There was a liquid fire
falling from the sky, and as people would catch
the liquid fire, then God would anoint them to do
exactly what he was doing, and they would be laying hands
on the sick, and they would recover. He said that there would be
people all over the world that would experience
this end-time harvest, that it would not be like
anything that we've seen yet, that it would be - it would make Azusa Street pale
in comparison to what God is getting ready
to do upon the Earth, and there's not going to be
a big I and a little you. God is going to use the - what Tommy
Hicks called the nobodies, the people that no one knows,
the people that have been hidden and just been plowing and plowing
in the Lord for years, but God is getting ready to use
these people in this end-time harvest,
and it's going to be greater than anything he's done
upon this Earth. [Applause] SR:
Tommy Welchel, not Tommy Hicks, Tommy Welchel
prophesied over you and imparted
this Azusa Street anointing, the same presence of God
that was on the original Azusa Street participants.
Tell us about that. JK: Tommy had prayed
for me many times through - and I had the privilege
of traveling and ministering with him,
and he - but there came a point
where he knew that it was time
to pass the torch, and he said that God
had chosen me to be the one
to carry these stories, to continue the legacy of Him,
the show people and - to they - for them to experience
the glory of God like Azusa Street saints experienced
that glory of God, and he said that
it was just providential, and God had brought us together. You see,
nothing is a coincidence, and God had brought us together
for such a time as this, and he prayed over me, and he asked God to impart
that into me and over me, so then I would go out
and impart it to others. SR: I would like you to pray
over the people right now. But before you pray,
will you read the quote from your book
on Frank Bartleman? JK: Sure, yes.
Frank Bartleman was a gentleman that was part
of the Azusa Street Revival. He had set up prayer groups 24-7
for 2 or 3 years before the revival even started, and he was a very eloquent man,
and he wrote this, and when I read this
in a church in Florida, the presence and the glory
of God fell so strongly, and people began
to just shake and tremor under the power of God, and it spread
throughout the church. So this is the exact quote that I read at that church
from Frank Bartleman. SR:
Before you read that quote, you had about
three words of knowledge. Would you speak them right now? JK: Yes. SR: Look into the camera. JK: Yes. The first thing
the Holy Spirit showed me, that there is a young child
that He has healed of lupus. It was very specific,
and He said, "Right now, I am healing
a young child with lupus." He then spoke, "There's someone right now
being healed with Lyme disease," very specifically Lyme disease,
and then the third thing He also showed me
was that I see a lady, and you're of Indian descent.
You're from India, and I see God is wanting
to impart something to you, that this is Him
that's speaking. It's Yeshua.
It's Jesus, and He is speaking to you today,
that you are chosen by Him to walk in the glory
and carry the glory. SR: Read the quote. [Music] JK: "After a little time
of quiet waiting, a great calm settled
down upon us. Then suddenly,
without premonition, the Lord Jesus Himself
revealed Himself to us. He seemed to stand
directly between us, so close, we could have reached
out our hand and touched Him. But we did not dare to move.
I could not even look. In fact, I seemed all spirit. His presence seemed more real,
if possible, than if I could have seen
and touched Him naturally. I forgot I had ears or eyes.
My spirit recognized Him. A Heaven of divine Love
filled and thrilled my soul. Burning fire went through me. In fact, my whole being
seemed to flow down before Him like wax
before the fire. I lost all consciousness
of time or space, being conscious only of
His wonderful presence. I worshiped at His feet. It seemed a veritable mount
of transfiguration. I was lost in pure Spirit."
Amen. Thank You, Jesus. SR: Would you to pray
for the impartation? JK: Yes.
Father, now we come before You, O God.
Holy are You. God, we just ask right now
for every person to receive that impartation just as Tommy
imparted to me the Azusa Street
fire impartation. I speak right now that,
God, that right now, You impart to others, Lord, that we would melt
like wax before You, God, that we are
Your burning ones right now. Father, bring Your fire
and Your glory upon Your people. O God, use us and send us. We say, Lord,
here we are and, O God, right now, for every person
watching or listening, right now I pray, and I impart
this Azusa Street fire unto you. It's in the mighty
and glorious Name of Jesus, Yeshua, we pray. Amen. SR:
And before we leave, I want you to pray
this prayer out loud and mean it,
right now, out loud. Dear God. >> Dear God. SR: I'm a sinner.
>> I'm a sinner. SR:
I believe Your Blood. >> I believe Your Blood. SR: Washes my sins away. >> Washes my sins away. SR: And now that I'm clean. >> And now that I'm clean. SR: Jesus, come inside of me. >> Jesus, come inside of me. SR: Be my Savior and Lord. >> Be my Savior and Lord. SR: Amen. >> Amen.
SR: So be it. >> So be it. [Music]
