Wave After Wave Revisited
This is a post I first put out four years ago. It came up in my memories today and The LORD said to review it, because it’s so relevant to today.
Wave After Wave — What does that look like?
So what does the coming move hold for us? In short, what’s it going to look like?
It’s my belief that —
First — we will see a move by The Holy Spirit upon and within The Church, which has already started.
Perhaps more so in the United States of America, but certainly soon to follow in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
This will cause the separation of wheat and chaff to become obvious.
We all know that Judgement begins in The Church and this will actually bring divisions. This, in turn, will cause repentance, many tears, altar calls and time prostrated before The Throne.
Then, this will bring an extreme reality of His Presence, and of the Shekinah Glory cloud.
To the dismay of some, I see some of the more extreme manifestations of the Toronto Blessing from the ‘90’s — even shades of the manifestations we saw in Kenneth E Hagin’s meetings — shouting, wailing, convulsive laughter, shaking — sometimes quite violent, whole blocks of the congregation falling over in The Spirit, and so on.
Just remember, revival is messy, so join in or get out of the way.
Second — a move by The Holy Spirit outside The Church.
We should probably call this a Great Awakening, and it’s my belief that this has already started.
I read a Word the other day — reminded me of Argentina in the ‘80’s and of my own vision for Revival.
“I saw thousands of people crying out for a fresh move of God, and I watched as atheists and unbelievers shuffled into revival meetings.
When asked, they did not even know why or how they were there. They were simply drawn! “
I’ve had many Dreams and Visions like this. I see these same unbelievers healed then brought into the meetings and then manifesting many of the signs described previously.
Great discernment will be necessarily displayed in sorting out the ‘wrong uns’!
Third — a huge split in The Church between those who want the Old status quo back, and those who want the New.
Let’s face it, we’ve never learned to accept change easily because we like the comfort of the known.
This move will be hall-marked by the ‘unknown’ which will mean great change to any status quo.
In fact I see the changes being rung constantly so as to keep The Church both hungry for whatever is coming next, and to keep us on our toes and not settling for what we have for fear of missing the next move!
I believe it will be the complete separation of wheat and tares. Many, sadly, will take offence at these changes and they will, as is their right, vote with their feet and walk away from the move, maybe even from God too!
Perhaps it will epitomise the great falling away! Those left standing are The Remnant — ready to be used by God in whatever way He chooses.
Fourth — who knows but God.
Will it be the Rapture, maybe even the return? Only God knows.
What will be the Timescales for all of this? Days? Months? Years ? Only God knows these things.
All I can tell you, again, is that Wave after Wave after Wave is prophesied by lots of folk…. including me.
Only God knows! All I know, sense, and hear from The LORD is that this will come as Wave after Wave after Wave of Glory driven by The Holy Spirit and fulfilling the letter of prophecy from both Biblical and today’s standpoints.
Hold on to your hats — this could be a really exciting ride. I don’t want to miss a thing. How about you?

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
That is SO good, Mark I love to read your comments because you always supply the word of God with understanding of the principles we must apply and live by and of course, judge prophecy. Thank you for engaging ..we are family. Thanks to Chris for rightly dividing the word and prophetically releasing the heart of the Father. Blessings, Sandi Holman
A revival, like all processes, may retrospectively be viewed as a number of stages, but the word “waves” implies that it must ebb and flow like like the waves of the sea, which owes more to recent charismatic assumptions.
I think the charismatic part of the church needs to be aware also of the concept and the possibility of a false revival. I believe there will also be a true revival, but this must consist of a preaching of the true and full gospel – a preaching of the judgement to come to all who do not truly repent nor have an enduring faith in Christ. The first stage will indeed be to those in the church whose assurance of salvation, sadly, is false. The second stage will be to those outside the church who have never known their need of salvation. My thinking is based on a principle I see at work in the book of Acts: the gospel was first preached in the synagogues to the Jews, who thought they belonged to God, and secondly to the Gentiles who had never had a conception of the true God.
