Dearly Beloved,

Greetings in the name of our resurrected Lord Jesus Christ!

We thank God for His mercy and faithfulness all through this year. The nations rage and plot vain thing against God and His people, but the One who sits in the heavens laughs (Ps.2:1-4). Yes this is what happening right now in the world. We are hearing so many heart breaking persecutions against our brothers and sisters in Christ, uphold them in your prayers as the Early Church prayed fervently for the persecuted people. God might change the Saul to Paul.

This is not the time to fear and tremble seeing the enemies hand against the God’s children rather know your strength in Christ and the weakness of your enemy. Study all the miracles of God which He did for His children and let this build your faith. Don’t make the devil big even in your imaginations. He is frustrated and famished in all his efforts against you. He knows that you are God's iron pillar and bronze wall and he can never prevail against you. He also knows how great your God is. Let this revelation dawn in your spirit TODAY!

The School of the Holy Spirit for men was successfully finished by the grace of God. Thank you for all your prayers and we are going to see the fruit of these three months shining and shaking the nations. We give all the glory to God who transformed the lives and changed them tremendously empowering them for the greater work of God.

We are getting ready for the Spirit Filled Leadership Seminar in Bhopal from September 27th to 30th and also in Vijayawada from October 17th to 19th. Pray for the mighty move of the Holy Spirit and for the prophetic utterance with signs, wonders and miracles. We want to see a

Dr. Ezekiah Francis

Take every one of the steps that I have shared thus far as God’s counsel to you and practice it on your journey toward the pinnacle of tongues: Spirit-filled life, spirit-man consciousness, growing faith, new tongues, love-walk, regular tongue-talking time, breakthrough tongues, and audible tongues. Do this, and you will experience unimaginable blessings in abundant measures!

9. Speak with understanding

When you speak in tongues, pray also with understanding every now and then. By this, your spirit and soul will join in prayer. Many times you will unknowingly interpret your own tongues. Weave praise and worship in between and sing songs. You can also meditate the Scriptures while praying in tongues.

Suppose you read a few chapters and get tired, get up and pray in tongues. Then come back to the Bible. Your mind will be refreshed and you will get light from the Word. This was Paul’s habit. He prayed in the spirit and he prayed with the understanding intermittently.

10. Speak corporately

Don’t think you can speak in tongues only in private. You can join other tongue-talkers. Paul

said not to speak in tongues in the church without an interpreter. What he meant was that tongues would look foolish to unbelievers present in a common assembly. With other tongue-talkers, however, you can freely talk in tongues.

When you pray with other tongue-talkers, one will stimulate the other as iron sharpens iron. Your fire will increase with other’s fire. So I recommend you to move closely with tongue-talkers. Find a tongue-talking church and become a member. In this way you will grow from one level of tongues to another.

As friends, you can set apart an hour to pray in tongues together. When one is tired, the other will lift him up. It’s a blessing for husband and wife to pray together in tongues, and it’s a privilege for ministers to pray together in tongues.

11. Speak with interpretation

There is a tongue of edification and mysteries, which is just between your spirit and God. You need not know the meaning of it. Such tongues will do something in the spirit realm without your knowledge. Yet, there are some prayers where you need to know the interpretation for your own good and that of others. At such times, you can interpret your own tongues.

Every tongue spoken publicly in the church must be interpreted, but there is no such rule for

innacle of TonguesContinued from last month...

P



THE SPIRIT OF GOD TRANSFORMS

your private tongues. Still every tongue talker should desire and pray for the interpretation. I put much emphasis on talking in tongues and interpreting it in private.

Interpretation could be in many forms. Either you interpret your own prayer in tongues or you interpret God’s message to you in tongues. Expect these things to happen.

Dr. Oral Roberts is an expert in interpreting his own tongues. He received many revelations for his personal life and ministry through such interpretations.

One day he was walking in an open field and praying in tongues. The Holy Spirit spoke to him: ‘Buy this field and build Me a university.’ When Oral Roberts began to pray in tongues for further direction on this guidance, he started interpreting his own prayers. In his interpretation he received all the details like when and where to build, how to collect funds for it, and so on.

When I visited his university, I was wonderstruck to see the huge and vast buildings all over. It looked like a big city in itself. Today, thousands are shining all over the world because of that university.

The young man who was dying from tuberculosis became one of the history-makers of America. Just realize the power and blessings of this simple manifestation of interpretation. Never underestimate any gift that comes from heaven, however small it may seem!

Paul commands us, “Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret” (1.Co.14:13). In the following verses he gives us a simple technique of interpreting our own tongues from his personal experience. “What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding” (1.Co.14:15). When you closely observe this Scripture, you will find the simplicity of interpreting your own language. When you pray in tongues, sometimes you know the

interpretation immediately. At other times, you may need to wait in silence for the meaning to come into your mind.

Sometimes, as you continue speaking in tongues, a few words will ring in your mind repeatedly, or you may pray the very interpretation of the tongues in your understanding. You will find yourself praying for things you never even thought about. You have to be very sensitive to note these things.

Sometimes, when you pray in tongues, the interpretation can come in form of a picture flashing in your mind. You should not brush it away considering it vain imagination. It could very well be the interpretation.

When you learn to interpret your own tongues, you will reap the benefit of it. You may sense the feelings and emotions of the Holy Spirit. You can come to know your real condition in the light of His Presence. You may know the burden and the prayer request of the Holy Spirit on your behalf.

When you are totally controlled by the Holy Spirit, your interpretations are sure to be accurate. When your heart is in neutral position, without likes or dislikes, and you are committed to do His will at any cost, you can rest assured: the flesh cannot interfere. When you are full of God’s Word, your interpretations will not mislead you.

12. Speak and write

Every thought, word and idea that comes from heaven is very precious. You must learn to value it highly. When you pray in tongues, as we saw, the Spirit world is open to you and your spiritual senses are sharpened.

When you speak German, you enter the German world. When you speak the language of the Holy Spirit, you enter His world. Then you receive His feelings, His burdens, His visions, His wisdom, His counsels, and His guidance in your spirit man. There is a danger here: we tend to

7 Berachah Prophetic Voice - October 2017 www.ezekiahfrancis.org

flippantly forget it. Therefore you need to record it. You need to write down everything for future use.

Keep a notebook by your side every time you pray in tongues and record all your impressions. Sometimes, even the pictures that come into your mind must be drawn on paper. Every thought that comes to your mind and every bubbling word you get while talking in tongues should be given due importance.

Sometimes, when you begin to write down such thoughts, you may get so much inspiration it runs into many pages. Those inspirations were recorded and registered in your spirit while you spoke in tongues.

God Himself gave His commandments to Moses. His own fingers wrote them. Imagine the terrible loss and tragedy we would have incurred if the Bible saints had failed to write down God’s words! We wouldn’t have a Bible today! Thank God for His prophets and apostles who cooperated with Him and wrote it down.

David wrote everything about himself, even his sorrows, joy, questions, confusions, victories and prophetic words. When he was writing, his prophetic anointing was guiding him without his knowledge.

I always note down God’s messages and His strategies I receive while speaking in tongues. Even if they come in few words, I don’t neglect them. They don't come all the time like a long story, but the few thoughts I receive enable me to preach for hours from the pulpit. Even while writing this book, I experience this special guidance.

Sometimes, I pray in tongues for a while and go to sleep. The moment I get up, a chain of thoughts comes to me and I note it down. This habit is one of the reasons for my ability to be the voice of God for the Church today. Why don’t you try it?

You need patience and discipline to practice

this. It will never come to hasty people. This is not for those who run around speaking only a few words in tongues. It is for those who take time for God and who sit and listen to Him like Mary did. Please start practicing that little by little. You may start with 15 to 30 minutes at first and proceed to excellence.

Take time to speak in tongues. Expect and attempt to interpret them. Be patient and slow to train yourself in this art. Nobody can be trained in interpretation overnight. Practice makes perfect. Even if you falter, don’t give up.

Don’t take major decisions on the basis of your interpretations until your faith is well established. Compare the interpretations you have recorded with the Scriptures, or seek the counsel of mature men of God who are familiar with the things of the Spirit.

Everything I have mentioned here is so simple even a new believer can reach this height. There are times we will speak the word of God to our own souls as David addressed his own soul while praying. There are many such pinnacles yet to reach. The very awareness of such experiences will take you to higher realms.

Don’t delay anymore. Start interpreting your tongues. If you cannot practice this on a daily basis you can even take a day off and go to a solitary place to develop your tongues and interpretation. Don’t forget to sing in tongues and to interpret your songs. If possible, record those songs and listen to them. I heard many such songs recorded in cassettes.

I have given you some practical steps to reach the pinnacle of tongues. All these demand your time, perseverance and training. You might fall again and again like a little child learning to walk. There will be times you will not be able to carry out your decisions. None of these discouragements should stop you from your miracle journey. “He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil.1:6). Discard your fears and rise up. Your heavenly



Father will gladly embrace and kiss you even if you take only little efforts. So don’t give up. Never consider this practice a heavy burden. Enjoy it, just as a little boy is interested in his toys.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit is not only to teach you all truth but also to guide you into those truths. He is your senior partner. Lean on Him like a child. Just follow His guidance as sheep follow the voice of their shepherd.

Things become heavier when you do them in your own strength. When you derive every bit of strength from the Holy Spirit, even a great mountain will fly like a piece of cotton. Like

Mary, don’t even ask how is it possible! The Holy Spirit is upon you. The power of the Highest is overshadowing you. Nothing is too hard for Him. He will take you to the pinnacle of His tongues.

9 Berachah Prophetic Voice - October 2017 www.ezekiahfrancis.org

This is one of the best experiences I ever had in my life. All 10 days felt to me like 10 minutes because of

all the mighty supernatural ministers of God. In STC, I came to know the importance of God’s calling. I

experienced the real presence of God when Prophet Ezekiah entered the auditorium. I enjoyed Rev.

Benita’s teaching on the Word of God and power. I was blessed by brother Alex’s session on divine

healing. Thanks to Berachah and the whole team. I am really very much blessed by this STC. Daniel

Thomas PJ

My whole life changed in these ten days of STC. Having known simply the Word of God, I came to know

many deepest truths from the Word of God. I got stirred up when I saw multiplication of money. Each

and every session was life testimony. The truths Prophet Ezekiah and Rev. Benita taught us I had

never heard in my entire life. I am truly grateful to Berachah Prophetic Ministries! Stephen.P

I thank God for this opportunity! Many things happened in this STC, and I was so much blessed by

Prophet Ezekiah and Rev. Benita. I came to know about my calling, the revelation of “Christ in me”

changed my way of thinking. I got free from addiction and I understood how important I am for the

Kingdom of God. I also got a solution for my marriage issue. I thank God for Berachah Prophetic

Ministries. Jabez

I thank God for this STC. I had prayed to God, “Lord, I want to hear Your voice and I want to know my

calling.” On the very first day, God cleared my doubts. I used to think that I left my calling but Prophet

Ezekiah taught us, “Your calling will never leave you, it will follow you.” When I heard these words, my

spirit jumped for joy. God spoke to me through Prophet Ezekiah’s message about Moses, Joseph and

Samson and showed me that I lived a Samson-type life. In the curse breaking session I confessed my

sins and casted out all demons. I got Joy Anointing, and by Prophet Ezekiah’s every prophecy I got goose

bumps in God’s manifested Presence. Through the “Know your calling” video session, I got clarification

about my ministry. “Christ in me” was a big revelation for me, it broke all my doubts. In the teaching on

Angelic ministry I felt angels beside me. I felt shaken in my spirit. Henceforth I will only live for the

Lord Jesus. King Solomon

I got confirmation about my calling in this STC. Prophet Ezekiah’s first message on God's calling made

me to understand how God is taking me from the pit to the palace like He did to Joseph. “The Holy Spirit

is a like a Dove and like a Fire, too!” This statement encouraged me. I started interpreting tongues.

After hearing Prophet Ezekiah’s life testimony, I am very much encouraged. He is a living example for

us to follow and a perfect person with spiritual authority. I am very much blessed by the way Rev.

Benita Francis, wife of Prophet Ezekiah, treats him on the stage. Even their stage chemistry was very

pure love. I am really very much blessed by this STC. Thanks to Jesus, thanks to Prophet and

Prophetess and the whole Berachah Staff. Tarun Joshi

SHORT TERM INTENSIVE COURSE

In a time that was suspicious of both women ministers and Pentecostals, Kathryn Kuhlman shook twentieth-century Christianity back to its roots. Believers of all persuasions - Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, or whatever, it didn’t matter - flocked to her meetings to be healed or filled with the Holy Spirit as they had read about in the book os Acts. Though she called herself “an ordinary person,” the effects of her ministry were anything but ordinary. Kathryn was one of a handful ministers after World War II who prophetically reintroduced the Holy Spirit and His gifts to the body of Christ on the earth in what has proven the greatest revival of all time: the Charismatic Renewal.

Kathryn Kuhlman was born on May 9, 1907, to Joseph and Emma Kuhlman. One Sunday when Kathryn was fourteen, she attended church with her mother. As she stood singing, she began to shake all over and sob. A weight of conviction came over her, and she realized that she was a sinner in need of salvation and forgiveness. She slipped out from where she was standing, went to the corner of the front pew and sat weeping. At that moment Jesus lifted the weight from her shoulders and entered her heart.

In 1924 when Kathryn was about seventeen, she started serving God with her older sister Myrtle in evangelical tent ministry. Then in 1928,as she got a chance to preach, Kathryn’s ministry began. In a while she found herself away from God’s relationship as she put a man before her God. But from the moment she made decision to surrender herself fully to the Lord, she never wavered again in answering the call that God had placed on her life so many years before. Great healing services continued and her ministry expanded. In 1950, a worldwide ministry began to develop and Kathryn’s messages were heard all over the US via radio and her television broadcast, I Believe in Miracles. For the last ten years of her life, she held monthly services at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, where she ministered to countless thousands.



Ɵ Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker Mr P.Dhanapal disqualified 18 of the AIADMK MLAs owing allegiance to the party’s sidelined leader TTV Dhinakaran. Madras High Court declined to stay the disqualification order, though it restrained the Assembly Speaker from holding any trust vote on the Floor of the House until further orders. It also asked not to initiate any action for holding by-elections to the 18 constituencies now.

Ɵ The border stand-off near Doklam was resolved amicably between India and China, Later, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited China to attend the BRICS Summit and met the Chinese President Xi Jinping among others.

Ɵ The national space agency ISRO’s PSLV- C39 mission, carrying the IRNSS-1H navigation satellite, failed after the heat shield refused to open and release the satellite. Located in the fourth stage of the rocket, the heat shield, also referred to as payload fairing, protects the satellite from the intense heat generated due to friction with the atmosphere during take-off. The heat shield was programmed to separate three minutes into the flight but the rocket continued to travel with the satellite trapped inside heat shield, dragging down the velocity. ISRO is analysing the reson for the failure.

Ɵ Ace tennis player Rafael Nadal won his third US Open men’s singles title with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory over first-time finalist Kevin Anderson. The win gave the 31-year-old Spaniard his 16th Grand Slam crown, the second-most of all time behind only Roger Federer. In the Women’s Singles category, the 24-year-old American player Sloane Stephens, who earlier this year was confined to a wheelchair after foot surgery and 11 months off tour, won her first major.

Jewels in His Crown



Rev. Benita Francis

Sin-destroying Soil

Vibrant life! Thriving health! Glorious end! How can all that be possible? How did sickness and death ever come into this world? Was it God’s plan that man should live for a few years on earth, labor, toil and strive, just to finally be laid into a grave and return to the dust? Could that be a loving Creator’s desire? No, never!

Your God created you to enjoy your fellowship for all time and eternity. He never intended for you to suffer sickness, sin and death. That hurts His loving heart more than you could ever imagine. This forced separation from His beloved creation tortured Him so much that He sent His one and only darling Son to take the punishment for our sins upon Himself and die in our place (Jn.1:29; 2.Co.5:21).

When I was a child, we used to have hamsters, little mouse-like pet animals. Sadly, their lifespan is only about two years. I never forgot my heartbreak and desolation when one of these sweet little creatures died. I used to cry and miss them so much that my parents would rush to the pet shop and buy a new pet to comfort my heart. How much more will our Creator sorrow over the suffering, separation and eternal damnation of His creatures!

Let’s think about it. What really brought death, sin and curse into this beautiful world, into the perfect,

glorious Garden of Eden? What subjected to futility, what bound in corruption not only humanity but the entire creation (Ro.8:19-21)?

It was nothing but words! It was words spoken by the serpent that first instigated Eve to doubt God’s Word. It was words spoken in a twisted way to misrepresent God's exact command. It was words spoken that emboldened Eve to test and disobey God’s Word. Can you discern satan’s sinister strategy in these few destiny-shaping words?

1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;

3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and

ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself” (Ge.3:1-10)

It was words - actually the way words were spoken and the way words were obeyed or neglected.

Since words destroyed God’s perfect plan of creation and eternal fellowship, there was only one remedy to redeem Creation: Words! That is the reason why God had to send His Son, the Living Word, into this world. This is the reason why only those who RECEIVE Him can have eternal life and the right and authority to be children, not only creatures, of God:

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name (Jn.1:10-12)

The Living Word Jesus wants to come and live in your heart by His Spirit so you can fully understand the Written Word of God, the Bible:

15 …the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2.Ti.3:15-17)

See? This Written Word is not just some ink on some paper - it is God-inspired, God-breathed, and God-given both for your earthly life and for your eternal life. God’s Word makes you wise for salvation, even for salvation from sin and bondage. It makes you complete, it makes you perfect, it fully equips you for all your tasks in your secular life and in God’s Kingdom. Remember,

9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your Word.

10With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!

11 Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You (Ps.119:9-11)

I pray that you may follow King David’s wise counsel to hide God’s Word in your heart, and that you also follow the Apostle Paul’s wise counsel to bring the Word out of your heart and into your mouth to complete your salvation:

8 But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the Word of faith which we preach):

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Ro.10:8-10)

Salvation! The powerful Greek word for salvation, SOZO, encompasses many blessings like safety, blessing, social favor, peace, health, well-being, prosperity and so many more.

Speaking God’s Word completes Salvation and helps you walk in victory. Confessing sin brings instant cleansing and forgiveness. Truly, God’s Word is the eternal antidote against sin.

Root and ground your life in God’s Sin-destroying Soil and defeat sin and satan each and every time they try to raise their ugly head!

Sickness-destroying Soil

We all know that sin and sickness are part and parcel of the same curse that came through Adam’s high treason of disobeying God’s Word in the Garden of Eden. Before the fall of humanity, sickness and death were unimaginable. With the fall, however, hiding, lying, blaming, jealousy, murder, immorality and a general deterioration in every area of life began. You can clearly see human lifespan

decrease with each passing generation until after the flood, God Himself fixed it at 120 years (Ge.6:3).

Unfortunately, death has become a part of daily life, unless you have the privilege to be part of the rapture of the Church (1.Co.15; 1.Thes.4:16-17). Do you need to die of any disease, though? No, definitely not! You can and you should die in a good old age, full of days and riches and honor like Abraham, Gideon, David and so many others (Ge.25:8; Jdg.8:32; 1.Chr.29:28). Just like your Lord Jesus, you can give up your spirit when the time of your departure, as the Apostle Paul calls it, has come (Lk.23:46; 2.Ti.4:6).

If even Old-Testament father of faith Abraham could remain healthy until the age of 120 years - so healthy, that his eyesight didn’t grow dim and his natural vigor was not diminished - how much more you, God’s New-Testament friend (Dt.34:7; Jn.15:15)? What was the secret of Abraham's health and strength? Well, God Himself calls Abraham “My friend” (Isa.41:8)! What makes somebody friends? It is the time spent together, talking together, walking together - in short, it’s the time spent exchanging WORDS!

Maybe you heard of our modern-day father of faith, Kenneth E. Hagin. He is an example of victory all the way until his last breath. Bedridden as a teenager, he rose from his deathbed purely by faith, and he kept living and speaking his faith throughout the rest of his life. Fully active in his teaching, preaching and healing ministry in his eighties, he ate breakfast one morning, smiled at his wife and went to heaven, without any trace of sickness or weakness. Wow!

I never forget reading in one of his books how he sometimes almost feared to go deeper into the spiritual world. Why? He thought that just like Enoch, he might not come back into this earthly dimension! Well, he did, until that glorious moment when God called him home in full victory.

What was his victory secret? You can see it in each one of his powerful books and videos. Like few others, he had made God’s Word his life, his soil in

which he rooted and grounded his life. Whenever sickness tried to attack him or a family member, he used to meditate on healing scriptures the entire day. Not only that, he used to put his alarm every hour even during the night! Each time he was awakened, he took a different Bible verse on healing, spoke it, and went back to sleep while meditating on it. He kept doing that until finally and invariably, healing would manifest. Wow!

If even Old-Testament prophet Enoch could walk so closely with his God that “he was not, for God took him”, how much more can you, God’s New-Testament New Creation, walk and talk with God to such an extent that you get caught up in the heavenly things and just step over into heaven (Ge.5:22-24; 2.Co.5:17)? What was Enoch’s secret? The very same as Abraham’s secret - a very close walk and talk friendship with his God!

If even Old-Testament prophet Elijah could be taken up by chariots of fire straight into heaven, without any trace of sickness and disease, how much more you can you, God’s New-Testament king and priest, expect to be gloriously taken out of a very active life and ministry (2.Ki.2:11; Rev.1:6)?

What was Elijah’s secret? It was the same secret we

have seen already - walking and talking with God, seeking His Presence, hearing His voice and doing His will. Rooting and grounding their lives in what was available of God’s Word at that time is what kept them all hail and healthy until their glorious home-going.

What a powerful truth! Now see this wonderful verse:

21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls (Jam.1:21)

Allowing the implantation of God’s Word saves your soul from every kind of distress. Receive God’s Word with meekness! It will deliver you from all sin and sickness. Allow it to be implanted into your life! Be that fertile soil for God’s Word to grow in you and bear fruit (Mt.13:23)!

At the same time, root and ground yourself in this same fertile Sickness-Destroying Word Soil! Build your life house on doing God’s Word and survive every storm life may bring (Mt.7:26-27)!
