I went to bed Thursday morning around 2:30 AM and slept great for maybe an hour, but then I woke up and was wide awake. I was very tired, but somehow knew I was not going back to sleep because I felt an unusual tension, like something was not right, but I did not know what.
As I laid in bed wondering about it, I knew there was something different about this. It was not like the fears and anxieties I was used to battling for many years. I learned how to give them to God and allow Him to remove them from me, so I did what I always do when feeling pressed, I turned on anointed music and started seeking God, but this time it did not go away, even though I persevered, praying in the spirit for quite some time. Then I remembered the breakthrough revelation God gave me last month when He said, “This is not about you. What you are going through now is not about you. You are going through it for someone else.”
Then I understood I was feeling the effects of God birthing something new, a new revelation, a new word from heaven. I started getting excited about it, eager to know what it was, but I did not get any answers, so I kept pressing into God. I don’t know how long that went on, but I saw daylight coming through my window before finally drifting off to sleep.
Even before I started praying, the answer had already been sent in the form of an email. On the other side of the world at 1:55 AM my time, which was about a half hour before I went to sleep the first time, Pastor Daniel Nalliah from Catch the Fire Ministries in Hallam, Australia, a suburb of Melbourne, sent an email to Z3er Richard Braidich. Richard then forwarded it to me at 8:12 AM, which was not long after I fell asleep the second time.
When I woke up, I saw Richard’s email with just one short sentence, “This is the most exciting news of our lifetimes!”
That looked interesting, so I started reading the forwarded email from Pastor Daniel and was amazed because he described exactly what had just happened to me. He wrote:
“On 12th May 2017 from 2 AM to 5.15 AM, I had an amazing encounter with the Lord. It started off when I woke up at 2 AM and was very restless and could not sleep. I tried to sleep, but ended up praying in tongues for almost one hour. While praying, I had a real sense that there was a word coming from God, but it was blocked by the principalities and powers of darkness in high places. So, I continued to press on in prayer.
Around 4 AM, I received the word. ‘My Son, the time for the word spoken by Smith Wigglesworth to come to fulfilment is at hand. I want my church to prepare in the next three years for a mighty outpouring of My presence, which will start a national reformation starting 2020 – 2030 of LOVE and Holy Spirt FIRE. This Revival Fire will turn the nations back to me and cause national reformation throughout the whole world in many nations.’”
I believe the Holy Spirit orchestrated these events because not only did Pastor Daniel’s first paragraph perfectly describe what I had just experienced, but I received his email even before I woke up and it was sent before I had even prayed. So, I believe it was a confirmation, letting me know the word he shared in his second paragraph was truly from God. I also believe the tension I felt was spiritual birth pangs as the Holy Spirit was interceding through me (and many others) to give birth to this great move of God (Romans 8:26-27).
Pastor Daniel’s word also confirms the significance of the year 2020, which is a story I have been tracking for over a year and have already collected prophetic insights from over twenty people. I hope to share my findings soon in an upcoming podcast.
Background Story:
Although we are now at the beginning of this mighty outpouring, the story started nearly one hundred years ago. Perhaps the best place to start is in 2008 when 92-year-old Norm Armstrong was Senior Pastor at Four Square Gospel Church, an AOG church in Sydney, Australia. He invited Pastor Daniel Nalliah to hold meetings at his church as a guest speaker, but when Pastor Norm began introducing Pastor Daniel to his congregation, Pastor Norm suddenly came under a great anointing of the Holy Spirit and was prompted to share the following story.
“My father was a Salvation Army officer who sold insurance policies for a living. One of his customers was an elderly lady who would all ways tell him, ‘Son you need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit’. One day the lady got him through the Holy Spirit, he was baptized in the Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues. This resulted in him having to leave the Salvation Army. Then my father went on to start a Pentecostal gathering at our home. Our home was possibly one of the first places in Australia in the early 1900’s where the Holy Spirit was free to move.
“I was only a very young boy when my Dad told me one day that a man called Smith Wigglesworth was coming to minister in our home, and that he was a mighty man of God. We were all very excited. The day came, and our house was packed out with people. I wanted to get a good look at him and the only place was the toilet seat, so I went in there to watch him preach.
Suddenly, Smith stopped preaching and told me (Pastor Norm) to come out of the toilet. Then he laid hands on me and started prophesying over me.” He said, “Australia you have been chosen by God for a great move of the Holy Spirit. This move of God will be the greatest move of God ever known in mankind’s history and will start towards the end of the 20th century and move into the 21st century. This move of God will start a great revival in Australia, spread throughout the whole world and usher in the second coming of Jesus. This will be the final revival before the coming of the Lord.
God will raise up a man in Australia who will lead this move of God under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This man will bow down to no one other than God. He will have tremendous favor in the nation of Australia.
My son, my (Smith Wigglesworth) eyes will not see this man, but you (Pastor Norm Armstrong) will meet this man before you go to be with the Lord. Now I will lay hands on you and pass on the mantle of God for this great mission. When you see this man, place your hands on him and prepare him for this mission and pass on this mantle.”
Then Pastor Norm turned and looked at Pastor Daniel and said, “You are that man I have been waiting for so many years, come here.”
Pastor Daniel stated, “I was so excited to hear the Word of the Lord from Smith Wigglesworth as I was so longing to meet someone who could confirm it. I was absolutely shocked when Pastor Norm called me out. I fell on my knees and started sobbing and crying in the presence of God as the presence of God was so amazing at that moment.”
Then Pastor Norm laid hands on Pastor Daniel and passed on the mantle as instructed by Smith Wigglesworth. He then lifted his hands up to heaven and said, “I am now ready to come home.”
Pastor Norm went home to be with the Lord in November 2011 at age 95.
In 2011, Pastor Daniel shared this story on his website with this statement:
“From that day onwards we have seen an amazing wave of healings and miracles in our ministry. It was so good to be back at the church where I received this great prophetic word from a true soldier in the army of God. The Lord has asked me to make some major changes in our ministry in preparation for this move of God in the next three years. I am sensing that there is going to be a mighty shaking and people are going to be crying out for God. At this time, the church will be their only answer.”
Conclusion:
Pastor Daniel shared how the Lord asked him to make some major changes in preparation for this move of God in the next three years. I believe that is wise advice for everyone. God has revealed what is coming and when, so now it is up to us to use our remaining time wisely.
Some people interpret preparation as stocking up on food, water, and ammunition, but even more important than those things is preparing our spirit. When trouble comes, nothing will be more valuable than knowing how to be led by the Holy Spirit, how to recognize His voice and trust His leading. That is not something we learn overnight. It requires daily training through encounters with God and studying His word.
God has promised if we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, then He will see to it that all of the other things we need will be added to us. (Matthew 6:33)
Not only was Pastor Daniel told the great outpouring begins in 2020, but he sensed there will be a catalyst event, a mighty shaking, which will cause many people to cry out to God. Today, multitudes all over the world are trusting in their government to meet their needs, but I believe God is going to help them realize He is their source, which means a whole lot of shaking is coming. Then many will cry out to Him as their only hope. Then the mighty outpouring of His presence will come, starting in Australia and spreading to the whole world. Glory to God!

#NationalJesusRevival2020 on May 25, 202 for there to be a Revival in every City to reach out to everyone http://ra2.biz/Revival we need your prayers and we need everyone to work together to reach everybody
The Holy Ghost has put on my heart to spread word of the National Jesus Revival 2020 http://ra2.biz/2020Revival.html and it is very encouraging to see others with the same vision.
I think I might know what that outpouring is I heard that God will out pour His Spirit for all people but some will bow down and back away from it. This will be for a Army to fight the darkness to save all the oppressed in the World. I think that is what it might mean. At least that is what I learned when researching.
Valerie, are you referring to the Tommy Hicks vision given to him by the Lord in 1961? I pulled out my copy of it and here are some quotes:
“It is so hard to help men and women to realize and understand the thing that God is trying to give to His people in the end-time.”
“…as I was looking down upon the earth-suddenly the whole earth came into view-every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight.”
“Suddenly I beheld what looked like a giant…his feet seemed to reach to the North Pole and his head to the south…I could see it was struggling for life….But his body was covered with debris from head to foot; and at times this great giant would move its body and act as though it would even rise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away-hideous looking creatures…and when he would become calm, they would come back.”
“And from the clouds, suddenly, there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon the mighty giant….”
“At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens….suddenly I saw a figure in white…the most glorious thing I have ever seen in all my life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew that it was the Lord Jesus Christ….He would stretch forth His hand upon the peoples and the nations of the world, men and women. As He pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from His hand into this person and a mighty anointing of God came upon them. And those people began to go forth in the Name of the Lord.”
“But there was a tragedy. There were many people, as He stretched forth His hand that refused the anointing of God, and the call of God. I saw men and women that I know, people that I felt that certainly they would receive the call of God…they simply bowed their heads and began to bac away…to go into darkness….”
There is so much more. You can read it all for yourself at this link:

I was wondering where i got that from yeah that is where I got it from. Thanks for reminding me. You explained that beautifully it is true though is it not?
Valerie, I do believe the vision Tommy Hicks received was from Father God and will have a fulfillment some day in the future. If you need a copy, use the link I posted above. There is so much more than what I quoted. Blessings in Jesus!
Hello James
I am astounded to see this written about,as Pastor Norm was my pastor in Sydney,and on the night of may 15th 2016 at a seer’s conference in Brisbane I and many others went into travail to birth breakthrough for revival. on that night I kept getting a word for pastor Danny,the word was that he was to ascend into heavens realm and take the commission that pastor Norm had given him and release it into Australia. I felt my whole life led up to that one moment in time.
I sent him the word,its time,its time its time.the other night i was thinking about the word i had given Pastor Danny and prayed again about it,so I am pleased that he has got the commission from God to do it. I date everything before that night and after that night,and yes you are birthing something and it is revival!
my friend and I wrote it out as a document we felt it so significant. I will send it on to you,it explains what happened that night.
Thanks for sharing that awesome testimony and confirmation Gerrie! I look forward to getting the rest of your story.
I would love to see it as well if you can share.
I so agree
More than dates we need to draw closer to God. Our life’s are about to change and never go back again. From my readings on Z3 and other sites the main theme has always been drawing closer to God. Inwardly in God we will have peace, strength, wisdom and be a shining light to the lost. The suffering and destruction we will witness will bring us sadness and tears we have never in our life’s witnessed. I do not look forward to this. God has been doing amazing things in my life and pulling me closer to Him. I am excited with the love he has for me and the work He is doing in my life, but am saddened by the chaos and pain soon arriving. Thank you James and all the people who make this site possible.
YES! Seeking first the Kingdom of God – then all these things will be added. Great to hear a time has landed. Have been waiting for this for years. Thanks for sharing James.
James this has really affected me today. In between talking with customers and crunching numbers I kept coming back to it and reading it over and over. I sent it out to our ‘Church of the City’ elders. Praying that Father continues to give specific steps for us to take in preparation. Thank you so much for posting this. It is a word that demands attention.
Thanks for sharing that Mike. Taking action to get prepared is ultimately what this word is all about.
Pastor Danny Nalliah also has a phenomenal book he wrote called Worship under the Sword which can be bought on Amazon. It’s very short yet powerful. Very much like a Wigglesworth book. I promise it will bless you. It includes stories of his ministry in Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia, where the Bible and Christian worship is illegal, yet there you will find some of the greatest churches in the world. I can attest to the truth of it as his family and mine lived there together.
James,
How you described your sleep and waking up is exactly what has been happening to me. After reading your results , I have learned I need to dig in harder and be more patient . I thought I was having some funky sleep pattern going on.and was just getting annoyed.
Sounds like you and I got assigned the night shift.
James & Ed H- I’ve been joining you.
Blessings!
I’m reading these comments and laughing because the same is happening to me. God is amazingly good! Consider me one of the “night shifters”…..hallelujah!
