I See Stadiums...

This is a transcript of a significant prophetic message given by Paul Cain in 1989.

Paul started churches while he was still in his teenage years and was involved in the healing revivals of the 1940's and 1950's, when he moved in a miraculous ministry. Later, over many years of seclusion, he received a recurring vision of stadiums full of people turning to Jesus where the sick were being healed. He has admitted to failures in his life but his prophetic ministry has been deeply respected for many decades. Paul's message  "I See Stadiums..." is taken from a 1989 recording delivered at the Anaheim Vineyard where he described this vision given to him by the Lord again and again over the last forty years.

"I saw that all of the great stadiums and all of the football fields and auditoriums all over the country were just filled with people seeking God. And it seemed as though as in this one place I was allowed to be an observer. There were men, like we see here tonight, people like we see just all over this giant platform. And they had stretchers, hospital burneys, and the had cots and with bodies on. People were sick and invalids - I tell you - the invalids section wasn't back in some old tent adjacent to the big tent where nobody could see them like in the old days but they were all up there before the people. All of these people are walking around and over the loudspeaker comes words like this and I heard it as clearly as I am hearing my voice now and much clearer: " We have a resurrection! We have a resurrection! This man was in the county hospital and he was pronounced dead - this morning at 11 o'clock. We have a resurrection! He has come back to life!" And than you just see people rejoicing, singing, magnifying God. And there was just like a heavenly symphony, everybody was just making the most beautiful, harmonious worship and than another declaration: "We have a resurrection over here and this person had been dead and then he rose from the dead" and than cripples and paralytics would be healed and step out of wheel chairs and people rather than going wild and giving some - you know - great ovation, their voices would just come out as a great orchestration. I remember I would just seemingly know that God had a string ensemble, He had a brass section, He had all the full piece orchestra in the voice of all these people - and it was a beautiful symphony, it was a beautiful symphony of life, thrilling me to life. And so as they were worshipping - than that would die down - and then other paralytics would get up and walk and other signs and wonders would occur before the vast multitudes there. And this would be going on all over the world."

"And then I found myself in front of a television set. And when I turned the dial on, the very first thing I began to hear was a news anchor man saying - and this would be on ABC, CBS, ANBC and CNN, all of the major networks I believe will carry a story like this one day - and they were saying: "Ladies and Gentlemen," ...news anchor man, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have no news to report tonight - only good news seemingly. We just have good news tonight and there are no sporting events to announce because all of the sports fields and all of the coliseums are filled with multitudes of people and you'll never believe what's happening, or perhaps you will, but there are resurrections from the dead, paralytics are walking out ot the wheel chairs, dropping special devices and there is all kinds of healings and miracles and it seems as though they are falling on their face in the stadiums, they are falling on their face and worshipping God, they are singing all these choruses and folks, we don't know who these people are, they are almost faceless people - and I tell you that is really thrilling because God is going to have a people that will be so much like Jesus you can't see them for the presence. And the presence of God is there. So it seems like the whole world is falling on their face and saying "JESUS is LORD, JESUS is LORD" and it's here, there and everywhere, all stadiums are filled around the world seemingly. And the world is turning to God. Listen friends, the church is going to become like the first line of defence again. You hold that and remember it. "
