How the Prisoner Who Spoke in Tongues Before Execution Came to Know Christ - JESSILYN JUSTICE CHARISMA NEWS

Kenneth Williams (Reuters/Arkansas Dept. Corrections)

How the Prisoner Who Spoke in Tongues Before Execution Came to Know Christ

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

He went into prison as a murderer. He left as Minister Kenneth D. Williams, child of God.
Williams was executed in late April in Arkansas' string of executions before one of the drugs used for the lethal injection cocktail expired.
Before his death, he found the peace and love of Jesus Christ while in prison. But the seeds were planted while he was on trial for killing cheerleader Dominique Hurd.
"Mrs. Williams (No relation to me) but the mother of the late 19-year-old Dominique Hurd, whom I senselessly murdered, took the stand having suffered great loss, and she shared these words: 'I forgive Kenneth Williams. My daughter Dominique 'Nikki' Hurd was a forgiven person.' She said, 'I do not wish for him to be put to death. His death won't bring my daughter back.' She went on to say, 'I pray that before Kenneth Williams leaves this world he will give his heart to Jesus,'" Williams wrote before his death.
The post, and dozens more, is shared on a public Facebook page dedicated to remembering Williams.
At the time of his death, Williams completed multiple courses through Crossroads Bible Institute, including a Master's degree in Religion from Universal Life Church.
"That marvelous light that shined forth that day out of Mrs.Williams acted as a planted seed into the soil of my life. Years later, it would yield something special and God's bread," Williams said.
In the weeks leading up to his execution, Williams sat on death row and rifled through handwritten notes begging him to come to Jesus. Little did the senders know, he already did.
"I've been stabilized and sustained by the inner peace and forgiveness I've received through a relationship with Jesus Christ," Williams wrote as part of the Marshall Project.
He continues: 
Oh boy, do the letters come pouring in after an execution date has been set! During mail call, I receive more mail than ever before about the well-being of my soul. Do you know God? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as lord of your life? If you don't repent before you die you will go to hell. They send typed letters, handwritten letters, cards, books, etc.
Most of these materials are destined for the trash. Where were they all those years, when I was sitting on death row, when I might have embraced what they had to offer? I see them as opportunists, who want to brag to their friends about how they tried to win my soul.
At this point, an individual has already made his peace with God, or hasn't.
On the day of his clemency hearing, Williams apologized to his victims' families and explained how Jesus changed his life. After more than a decade in prison, Williams was an ordained minister.
"I don't invoke the name of God and Jesus to get out of a death sentence," Williams said. "Again, not to sound arrogant, but whether or not you grant me clemency is fine with me."
He continued: "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit. From the day of my conversion to my present day, please judge me by my fruit. Are they good, or are they bad?" 
The board denied his clemency, and Williams was later put to death.
But not before he decided to let his final words be a prayer, said through speaking in tongues.  
"Tongues are made mention of in the Bible: 1 Corinthians chapter 14. If it be my fate to die on an execution table shaped like a crucifixion cross, my last words here on earth will be spoken to God above while the ADC and the State of Arkansas work to put my body to death beneath," Williams said

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
This "Word" is actually multiple words that came forth last weekend at Chuck Pierce's Glory of Zion International Ministries.
Don't worry too much about not understanding what "the sound" means or how you will know it when you hear it. God is SAYING YOU WILL KNOW THE SOUND when He sends it.
The example is given below of an elephant who can "feel the sound" in the ground of what is coming from many miles away.
Read this word a few times and it may become quite clear to you that God is saying YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO when the time comes.
Hey! Now one last thing. The "What is God Saying for 2016" conference has JUST ended and NOW YOU CAN ORDER THE CDs, DVDs OR MP3 DOWNLOAD.
Friends, this truly, truly, truly was the best conference yet and I've NEVER EVER heard so many positive words coming forth from God's prophets. Our speakers were: Chuck Pierce, Jane Hamon, Dutch Sheets, and Dr. Alveda King (niece to Martin Luther King, Jr).
Here is the link to purchase the full message sets in DVD, CD, or MP3 audio formats:

A Time the Heavens Will Shake and the Earth Will Quake!
Last Sunday morning (January 3), the Spirit of God was so present as we concluded our Starting the Year Off Right Celebration. Below is a portion of the prophetic release that came forward through tongues, interpretation, worship and declaration.
"Do not seek the familiar this year, for the familiar will lead you into passivity. Seek the sound that will lead you into movement. Seek not the familiar that you are used to seeing and hearing, for that will cause you to be stagnant. Rather, seek the sound that will lead you into movement. For My finger is writing a song out of Heaven. This song will change the course of the current path, situation, and environment that surrounds you.
"The heavens will shake, and the earth will quake. I am breaking up the fallow ground of your paradigms, and they are going to split wide open. It's time to plow the fallow ground. The time is NOW to plow that fallow ground. There is more than your mind has conceived – new patterns, new ways, and new means. The familiar will chain you down to an old thing and way, and you won't be ready for the breaking of a new day.
"Do not question, for you are hearing Me. Capture what you're hearing and bring it into obedience. 
You've been working with the iniquities of the ground, but Heaven now will shake and the earth will quake, and with what you've been working with I am ready to show you a new way to prosper and succeed. 
So start plowing and you will uncover the seeds to your future. You will return to divine patterns you've not seen clearly in the Word before; or you saw them and you didn't know how to apply it right. But now divine patterns are coming down! (Photo via deviantart)
"I will show you how to break open the heavens and shake the earth. You'll no longer be working with the iniquities of your forefathers. That will no longer be your paradigm. 
You'll no longer be working earth that is cursed, because the blessing is beginning to be uncovered. Plant your future and watch growth begin.
The Sounds of Heaven – Vibrating the Ground
"Learn to move by the vibrations of the sound coming up through your feet. This is how I will move My people into place in days ahead! You will not move by the thoughts of your mind, but by the sounds of Heaven vibrating the ground and causing your feet to sense what I'm saying so you can move into place for the future.
"You will be like the elephant that hears through his feet, and because of that he can hear things coming from miles away. As he hears things coming from a distance and prepares himself for what's coming, he trumpets with his mouth what's going on so others can see. Your enemy is confined to the air; he is the prince of the air. 
But I am the God of the earth and you stand on My ground and can receive My vibrations and My revelation to advance in days ahead.
"I am calling you as 'Change Agents!' No matter where you go, you pull the anointing from Me, and that will change the atmosphere. Don't be afraid of this shaking for it is a remaking. Everything that is of Me will not fall in the shaking. 
The time is NOW to stand up and move with the cadence of Heaven. You will then be able to shake dens of iniquity and watch dragon's head fall and roll. The shaking this time is about a remaking. Let Me reshape, remold and cause you to shift atmospheres, for you are truly Change Agents in this hour. Receive a mantle of change. Receive a mantle to shift.
"The sound that is coming down from Heaven is the sound that the 'New Trailblazers' will hear. I am equipping New Trailblazers this season. They will cut through the brush and the stubble. As My sound comes you will be equipped. I am preparing new vessels and new vehicles for these New Trailblazers. 
I am shaking and I am quaking the earth to break up old paths and to construct new paths. Only a new vehicle with a NEW Trailblazer will master these paths.(Photo via Pixabay)
"This is an hour I am beginning to change the language of My people. I am beginning to change the way that My people interpret language. 
There is a sound from Heaven to connect you with this season. 
Remember Peter. The people listened to him speaking. They knew that he was not someone educated, but they could feel My authority and power being released. There is a sound and a shofar from Heaven that is aligning with the trumpet inside MY people. Recognize and realize this power from Heaven that is working through you.
"I am causing your language to change and the way that My Word is released. The way that you release and understand prophecy and how I am working in the atmosphere is now changing. 
One simple word and sound will begin to shift, and people's minds will begin to grasp and understand the power that's working in the earth and in the atmosphere. The specifics of what I am doing and where I want to take you will be revealed.
"Healings and miracles will happen as you change your language. One utterance of that tongue can set the course of everything you need to know. 
I will have a joyful house of prayer for all people. Therefore, if you will start expressing the joy of the house you have, I will develop the joy that I need for your strength to increase.

Watchmen Arise! A Year of Rapid Fire!
"Watchmen, arise. Let your tongues be the pen of a ready writer. As you write, as you bring down the strategies, I am going to cause doors to fall like dominoes. I am going to cause gates to be blown off the hinges.
Watchmen, write what you see, write what you hear; I am fine-tuning your ears. I am opening your eyes in a new way. I am bringing you up to an aerial view, so you can look down into the enemy's camp. You will speak and write specific things, and you will cause ambushments to be set in the enemy's camp.
"Judah, Judah, I am waking you in a new way. For even as I caused the gates to shake for Paul and Silas as they prayed in the night, so Judah will be awakened in a new way. 
There is something I am awakening you to, to discipline you in, this year. So break through that fear that's surrounding you.
"This will be a year of 'rapid fire.' This will be a year when I will be shooting down, like lightening, upon My people. For I am calling fiery warriors into place. I will do things in you that you have been waiting to see, but I will call you into a place where I want you to pave the way for others to see. 
Know that this is the year of the travail of rapid fire.
"I am bringing you out of the desert, out of the war in the desert, and I am calling you to stand on the banks of your Promised Land, and war.
Many of My children saw me remove many things, and this was difficult, but it was Me. I am removing that old mindset of the desert, and am placing you in the place where you belong, in the place I have desired for you.
"For this is the season to war in a way you've not warred before. 
So lay down your desert weapons and move forward into your Promised Land and I will establish you. You will hear My voice as never before and you will conquer the enemy that has tried to take you out in the past season.
So look up, look up and see that your help doesn't draw nigh, but that it is already here!
"With every crescendo of your life this year I will take you to a point to put your foot on the enemy. Wait for My exact moment. Then, when you bring your foot down on your enemy, your enemy's headship will no longer rule you.
"That which has been underground, I will now draw upward. Over that which has had to amass, and that which has had to come together in one way, you will now see what I have gathered. I have been gathering and I have been preparing, and now, I will draw forth.
"To this nation I say that the enemy has been gathering and preparing against you. But you will now strategize to rise against. Do not rise up too quickly, for I can cause the enemy to start moving even as I prepare you to move into his path and ambush him. 
You are now going to amass and gather in a way you have never gathered, and I will start the gathering. For the contractions of the earth have begun, and because of that, what has been down, hidden, will now be pushed up, and seen. Know this hour for your change has come."

"Positioning Yourself: We're in a Season of Great Acceleration" Katherine Ruonala



"Positioning Yourself: 
We're in a Season 
of Great Acceleration"
Katherine Ruonala, Brisbane, Australia
The Elijah List

We are coming into a season of great acceleration, and so much is happening that we need to be fully aware and fully awake to recognize and partner properly with this glorious season. What is happening now could be likened to the 1970s and the Jesus People Movement. During that season of acceleration and revival when so many were saved, the rain fell on the wheat and the tares, and just as the Church rapidly grew and the Good News spread, many cults and false teachings also were spawned.

So how do we prepare for such a season?

The Word of God is our anchor and with it the Holy Spirit will guide us through this glorious time. We need to read whole books of the Bible all the way through, not just the verses that we know and like. The book of Jude was written when the rapidly growing Christian Church was dealing with a lot of distractions: false teaching, divisive words, complaining, and more.

So Jude says, "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life" (Jude 1:20-21). 
These are keys to keep us on the right course.

What Does It Mean to Keep Yourself in the Love of God?

It certainly can't mean that His love is still undecided about you so you'd better not lose it. His love doesn't change toward you. It is intense and powerful. Regardless of what you've done or how you feel about Him, He still loves you just the same. He loves you completely. He always has, and He always will. There is nothing any of us can do to earn it or to forfeit it. So to keep yourself in His love can't mean to maintain His love and make sure you don't lose it.

No, Jude is talking about positioning yourself to receive God's love—to experience it at a practical level. There's a war going on for your attention. God wants to see your face—to see your eyes gazing at Him, to lift your countenance, to make you shine, to fill you up with love so you can give His love to the "unlovely" of this world. 

He wants you to be completely absorbed in Him so you can come into union with Him and walk in the power of the Holy Ghost, loving and forgiving and being a catalyst for signs and wonders. (Photo via flickr)

When you overflow with His love, miracles begin to happen all around you. But the enemy is always trying to distract you and redirect your focus to all kinds of hassles and problems. He wants to fill your mind and heart with disturbing thoughts and feelings. 

He wants to get your attention and turn your face toward anything or anyone else but God. He wants to see you frown, get discouraged, and approach life with fear, the opposite of faith. Not only will this keep you from experiencing intimacy with God, it will also keep you from doing the works of Heaven.

So to keep yourself in the love of God is to deliberately position yourself where you can keep your focus on God and receive the love He wants to show you. 

And you really do have to be very deliberate about it because the distractions can be very persistent and intense. Time is the new money, and in this world of email, Facebook, Twitter, and mobile phones, it is easily spent.

ElijahList Prophetic Resources

Alone Time With Him

I need time alone with God to drink in His love and allow Him to restore my soul more than I need anything else. I need much more than just one focused time alone with Him a day. His love is my life source, and I want to live overflowing with His love. Faith works by love, and God is love, so it is in His love that we are to live and move and have our being.

To do that, we must learn to drink deeply, deliberately, and continuously from the river of His pleasure that flows with love for us. And we need more than just a sip, because God wants us to thrive, not just survive. We have the privilege of being infused with supernatural strength and joy, so drink deeply! (Photo via pixabay)

As Jude's instruction implies, there's a link between praying in the Holy Spirit, building ourselves up in faith, and keeping ourselves in the love of God. As we pray in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit enlarges our capacity to receive love and strengthens us so we can supernaturally comprehend it. He prays through us with power, cutting through clouds of confusion that the enemy tries to blind us with.

As we pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit prays through us and for us about things that are not naturally seen, going before us and making our path straight. He knows what we need to pray about and helps us in our weakness with perfect intercession. He unfolds mysteries to us. Revelation is downloaded into our hearts and the gifts are stirred up.

It is time to be praying in the Spirit, fellowshipping with God in his Word and seeking His face. That way we'll be ready for this next wave of glory!

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Here is another confirming word about the "season of acceleration" that is upon us. Some great prophets are coming out of Australia, and one I've recently gotten to know is Katherine Ruonala. She's not new to the prophetic word but new to our Elijah List readers.

Katherine's article leads with this:
We are coming into a season of great acceleration, and so much is happening that we need to be fully aware and fully awake to recognize and partner properly with this glorious season. What is happening now could be likened to the 1970s and the Jesus People Movement. During that season of acceleration and revival when so many were saved, the rain fell on the wheat and the tares, and just as the Church rapidly grew and the Good News spread, many cults and false teachings also were spawned.
So how do we prepare for such a season?

Why We Can’t Ignore the Gifts of the Holy Spirit - J. Lee Grady

Are you using the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
Are you using the gifts of the Holy Spirit? (iStock photo)

Fire in My Bones, by J. Lee Grady
My friend Rafael invited me to preach in his church in Humacao, Puerto Rico, last June. It was Pentecost Sunday, so I brought a message about the Holy Spirit's power. Then I asked God to use me in a supernatural way because I figure we shouldn't talk about the Spirit's gifts if we're not willing to demonstrate them.
After I finished my sermon I noticed a young man sitting in the fourth row. I'd never met him, but I could sense God's love for him. I pointed to him and began to give a word of prophecy about how God wanted to use him. I then prophesied over other people and prayed for many others, and then I left Humacao.
Last week I returned to Puerto Rico to speak at a men's retreat. Guess who showed up? The young man to whom I gave the prophecy came to the event. His name is John, and I learned that he had never visited the church in Humacao until the day I met him there. Because John felt God speaking to him in such a very personal way that Sunday, he has been attending that church ever since—and he has been growing spiritually.
One simple word of supernatural encouragement changed John's life. But what would have happened if I had decided to "behave myself" that day and not step out in faith to prophesy? What if I had let fear stop me from flowing in the miraculous? What if I had just decided to stick to my notes, preach a nice sermon and play it safe?
I'm afraid that's what a lot of us are doing today in churches that claim to be Spirit-filled.
We say we believe the Bible, but when it comes to the Holy Spirit, we've become cowards. In trying to be trendy and relevant, we've replaced spiritual anointing with cool music, graphics, sermons and programs that look and sound great but lack a spiritual punch.
If we are full of the Spirit, the nine charismata, or spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, should be manifested regularly. But few Christians today have even heard of these gifts; fewer have seen them in operation. We need a refresher course in the ways the Holy Spirit works. And we need these nine gifts in our churches today:
1. The word of wisdom. God can give us a supernatural solution to a problem that cannot be solved by man's ideas. The American church desperately needs this gift so we can shift from man's carnal ways to heaven's wisdom.
2. The word of knowledge. The Holy Spirit will sometimes reveal information that could not have been known by man. Last week in our men's retreat, the Lord showed me there was a man there who had never told anyone about the sexual abuse he had experienced. That prompted the man to come to the altar for prayer. He probably would never have asked for help without the nudge of the Spirit.
3. The gift of faith. This is not the normal kind of faith we need daily. The gift of faith is a special ability to believe for big things. A person operating in supernatural faith will motivate others to pray until the answer comes.
4. The gift of healing. Paul told the Corinthians that there are actually gifts (plural) of healing. I have met people who have a special gift to pray for infertile couples; others have faith to pray for those with cancer; in my own ministry I have seen people healed from depression and the effects of abuse. The exciting part is that God is still in the business of healing bodies, minds and broken hearts.
5. The gift of miracles. The book of Acts is a series of miracles—so why would we ever assume God pulled the plug on that power? He still opens prison doors, breaks chains, releases angels, opens blind eyes, changes weather patterns and delivers people of demons. If we remove the miraculous from our Christianity we portray a puny God to the world. He is still a miracle worker!
6. Prophecy. This is a special gift because God loves to speak to His people. And He wants to use us to relay His message. I consider the gift of prophecy "supernatural encouragement" because it always edifies the person who receives a word from the Lord—even if it is corrective. Will you allow God to use you to speak His direct message to others?
7. Discernment (or "discerning of spirits"). I am grateful that when the Holy Spirit gave His gifts of power, He also provided a way for us to tell the difference between God's work and a demonic counterfeit. Not all that is supernatural is from God, so we need discernment to protect us from false prophecy and occultic fakery. We also need this gift to set people free from demonic bondage.
8. Speaking in tongues. There are "various kinds of tongues" mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:10. Believers can have their own private prayer language, but some people are also gifted to speak in tongues in a church meeting. I know of situations where Christians received a special ability to speak in a foreign language so they could communicate the gospel.
9. Interpretation of tongues. Similar to prophecy, this gift can relay a message from God that was spoken in a foreign or angelic tongue. I love the fact that linguistic barriers don't limit our God; He loves the entire world!
The apostle Paul told the Corinthians: "Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts" (1 Cor. 14:1a). God wants His gifts flowing through us, but He never forces us to use them. He is looking for availability, courage and surrender. Please allow the Holy Spirit to jumpstart His power in your life.

Led by the Spirit by Elaine Tavolacci

Led by the Spirit 

by Elaine Tavolacci

Identity Network

We often hear Christians say that they feel "led" to do something or other, meaning that they think or feel that the Holy Spirit is leading them in a particular direction. Many are not sure if they are actually hearing from God or if it is their own thoughts or their own will. The Lord is showing me that He wants every believer to be led by the Spirit, and He wants to make His voice known. 

He is releasing revelation to those who are positioned to receive it. The Lord says, "As you seek truth, and as you seek to know Me more, the eyes of your heart will be enlightened. Those who are willing to go beyond the milk of My word will notice that their thoughts will begin to align with My word. They are those who are hungry for the meat and willing to leave foolish and childish things behind. 

I will give them understanding of spiritual things and My truth will become alive in their innermost being. They are those who are willing to separate themselves unto Me. They are those who not only spend time with Me, but they live a fasted lifestyle and they walk in holiness. They refuse irrational arguments and they will readily forgive others who have wronged them. 

They are not content with the milk, therefore they press on to the higher calling. They depend on My leading as they go about their daily chores and they know that they have been called and set apart for My plans and My purposes.

Renewal of Your Mind

As you allow My word to become part of you, your mind will be renewed. You will no longer desire to submit to the things of the carnal nature. The temptations of this world will grow dim as you hunger for spiritual realities.  The more that you spend time in My word and in My presence, you will find that hearing My voice will come with ease. 

Pray in the spirit often to build yourself up in your most holy faith and as you do, you will become more attuned to My ways.  Soon you will find that as you continue to persevere, you will begin to be led by My Spirit. I will release discernment to see into the dark places. You will begin to discern the motives and intentions of the heart. You will understand My word with more clarity and insight.

I am filling the hearts of those who desire to know Me more. Those who are rooted and grounded will surely ascend to new heights. I will reveal My secrets to those who are seeking revelation, and the hidden mysteries. I will make My voice known to those who have treasured My words more than their daily bread. It is not mystical or mysterious to them because they have a personal relationship with Me. 

They are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. They are those who have learned to tune in to My frequencies. Signs and wonders will accompany those who walk in My truth. Those who follow My word will walk in peace. Fear, confusion and anxiety will be far from them. So enlarge your vision and extend your boundaries and as you yield yourself to Me, My plans will be established in your life says the Lord.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

1 Corinthians 2:6-8 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1 Corinthians 2:13-14 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Hebrews 5:14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

“Miracles Occur” - Ahava Love Letter (Steve Martin)

             
           “Miracles Occur” 


Peter said, “I don’t have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!” He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm. He jumped to his feet and walked.
(Acts 3:6-8, The Message)

Dear family of friends,

Checking Facebook to get an update on a friend’s situation, I saw her last post describing the current status. Cancer had been attacking her body. She and her husband had no insurance. Both were out of a job. They were in the process of having to sell their house. The doctor and the insurance company said it was going to cost thousands to do what they could. They didn't have the money.

My heart was filled with sorrow and compassion, while at the same time not knowing what we ourselves could do to help them.

Facing situations that are overwhelming come along in our lives. Sometimes they are devastating. They just happen, for we live in a mortal body, in a temporaral state. It is almost like death would be better than to go through what we think will happen, if nothing better will seem to happen. Or we hear only what the “professionals” are telling us will result.

In times like these, the one thing I know to do is pray. Pray for a word from the Lord. Pray for courage for them to walk through it. Pray for something to happen that will let them know, “It will be all right.”

Pray in tongues, for the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, the Ruach HaKodesh (Hebrew), does know.

And so I did. I cried out to the Lord from my heart, asking Him to intervene in their situation. “Please do something, Lord,” was the prayer in my mind, as I continued praying in tongues.

Then He spoke quietly, relating His response to the season we were in, “Hanukkah was a miracle. Christmas was a miracle. I AM their miracle.”

Yes you are Lord! You are the miracle, our answer for everything we face! For them now!

When we face the brick wall, the edge of the cliff, the point where, “Lord, if YOU don’t do something, I am not going to make it!” - our hope, faith and assurance must rest in Him, for He is the Giver of Life, and knows what we need, when we need it.

“…and a large crowd followed him, because they had seen the miracles He had performed on the sick. John 6:2, Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)


 Jesus (Yeshua) performs miracles. He did then. He does now. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Believe Him.

Ahava to my family of friends,
