“The flow of the Spirit began very small, and it began to grow a little at a time. And you go back to 1900, 1906, 1913, 1917, when the flow of the Spirit was only a trickle. Ah! But people were praying. People were believing God. People were exercising their faith. And oh, they’re crying out to Me,” saith The LORD, “and My Spirit was flowing. And it began to flow, and it began to flow, and it began to flow. And then, in the 1920s and the 1930s it was no longer a trickle. It became a stream, and it began to flow as a stream, and the stream began to work its way in and through other churches and people who didn’t even know Me.
“And it was not a trickle but a stream, and that stream flowed and that stream flowed. And then you came up through the 1950s and the 1960s, and it went from a trickle to a stream to a river and it flowed. And the river flowed, and the river kept swelling and the river kept flowing. Kept flowing and swelling, and getting bigger and getting bigger, and larger, and flowing and flowing. It’s no longer a trickle. It’s no longer a stream. It’s no longer a river! It’s a flood! Flood stage is here! Flood stage is here!”
