I would like to present to you a prophecy given by Dr. David Minor in 1987 that addressed significant national and global issues when it was first uttered, but which, I believe, has now become absolutely vital and of the utmost importance. In it he declared that a major purging and revival will come to the body of Christ. As the prophecy reveals, we who name the name of Jesus Christ must be very careful to discern this last-day working of His Spirit, lest, like Israel, we fail to recognize it and lose the place God has prepared for us.
By way of introduction, Dr. David Minor is one of God’s premier prophets for the hour in which we live. Dr. Minor operated and flowed in the gift of prophecy before such gifts were acknowledged or accepted by most of the body of Christ. He has traveled extensively across the nation and around the world, and his prophetic voice has played a vital role in this end time outpouring now sweeping over the nations of the world. Dr. Minor has labored faithfully and fruitfully for Christ his entire life. He has led literally thousands to Christ, and many others to the baptism of the Holy Ghost. His faith-inspiring messages and prayers have brought healing to untold thousands. He is also a man whom I have the deepest respect for and have regarded as my Pastor and covering in Jesus Christ for nearly 35 years.
Over 50 years ago, Dr. Minor pioneered a powerful local church, Gospel Tabernacle, in Coudersport, PA which is still a thriving center of Christianity today. Prophet Minor’s ministry is characterized by a strong and supernatural compassion for the sick and afflicted. His deep prophetic voice has directed misguided lives and prevented many a tragedy: God has mightily used him as a rescuer of lost souls. He is a man who cares about people and who reaches out to them with a prophetic mantle that transforms their lives. His prophetic ministry has literally been a catalyst for the restoration and healing of local churches and wounded leaders across America.
I pray that the Lord would anoint our hearts and minds as we read this prophecy from the Lord together, and cause it to penetrate deeply into our beings that we might understand and heed it, and that the kingdom of God may advance thereby.
Prophecy of the Wind of the Holy Spirit
The Spirit of God would say to you that the wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing through the land. The [Christian] Church, however, is incapable of fully recognizing this wind. Just as your nation has given names to its hurricanes, so I have put My Name on this wind.
Holiness to the Lord
This wind shall be named: Holiness unto the Lord. Because of a lack of understanding, some of my people will try to find shelter from the wind, but in so doing they shall miss My work.Every Church will be Touched
For this wind has been sent to blow through every church that names My Name. It shall blow through every institution that has been raised in My Name.False Ministries will Fall
In those institutions that have substituted their name for Mine, they shall fall by the impact of My wind. Those institutions shall fall like a cardboard shack in a gale. Ministries that have not walked in uprightness before Me shall be broken and fall. For this reason man will be tempted to brand this as a work of Satan, but this is My wind. I cannot tolerate My church in its present form, nor will I tolerate it. Ministries and organizations will shake and fall in the face of this wind and even though some will seek to hide from that wind, they shall not escape.All Christians will be Affected
It shall blow against your lives and all that surrounds you will appear to be crumbling, and so it shall, but never forget this is My wind, saith the Lord. With tornado force, it will come and appear to leave devastation, but the Word of the Lord comes and says:Face the Wind!
"Turn your face into the wind and let it blow." For only that which is not of Me shall be devastated. You must see this as necessary. Be not dismayed, for after this My wind shall blow again.The Valley of Dry Bones
Have you not read how My breath blew on the valley of dry bones? So it shall breathe on you.The Second Wind
The second wind will come in equal force as the first wind. This wind too will have a name -- it shall be called The Kingdom of God.Power
It shall bring My power. The supernatural shall come in that wind. The world will laugh at you because of the devastation of that first wind. But they will laugh no more, for this wind will come with force and power that will produce the miraculous among My people and the fear of God shall fall on the nation. My people will be willing in the day of My power, saith the Lord.Devastation from the First Wind
In My first wind that is upon you now, I will blow out pride, lust, greed, competition and jealousy, and you will feel devastated; But haven’t you read: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven?”Out of Poverty
So out of your poverty of spirit, I will establish My kingdom. Have you not read: “The kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit?” So by My Spirit, My kingdom will be established and made manifest.No Hiding Place
Know this also, there will be those who shall seek to hide from this present wind and they will try to flow with the second wind, but they will again be blown away by it. Only those who have turned their face into the present wind shall be allowed to be propelled by the second wind.Revival
You have longed for revival and a return to the miraculous and the supernatural. You and your generation shall see it, but it shall only come by My processes, saith the Lord.American Church to be Purged
The church of this nation cannot contain My power in its present form. But as it turns to the wind of the holiness of God, it shall be purged and changed to contain My glory. This is judgment that has begun at the house of God, but it is not the end.The Harvest and the End
When the second wind has come and brought in My harvest, then shall the end come.
