    I've spoken in tongues and interpreted publicly for the last 17 years. Also, I've ministered pastorally or prophetically full or part time for 24 years. I was prepared for ministry by Sister Goodwin. Mom and Dad Goodwin, as they were affectionately called, were a husband and wife ministry team. Dad Goodwin was a pastor and Mom Goodwin was a prophet. They ministered together for 50 years. Kenneth Hagin Sr. considered the Goodwins to be his spiritual parents, and he learned much from them. The Goodwins also ministered with Smith Wigglesworth, and many times with Howard Carter. Mom and Dad impacted the lives and ministries of Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts, John Osteen, Marilyn Hickey, and Billye Brim. I knew Mom Goodwin for the last 10 years of her life. I spoke with her many times and visited her in her home. Although Mom and Dad were mightily anointed, they were not content to flow in a strong anointing on the platform, and leave their congregation members sitting idly by as mere spectators. But they also did not go to the other extreme and hold "prophesying classes," as some ministries tried to do in the 1990's with disasterous results. No, they followed the leading of the Holy Spirit as He drew them to specific individuals over the years, in their congregation, and to ministers outside their congregation. I was one of the last ministers that the Lord told Mom to take under her wing. I believe my calling is to pick up the Goodwins' mantle, and continue their ministry of teaching and demonstrating the Gifts of the Spirit in general, but specifically to eventually concentrate most of my efforts on pastoring and developing a local congregation in the Spirit.

Why Did the Glory Leave Us?

Why Did The Glory

 

Leave US?

 

By Rev. Mel C. Montgomery


Article I:

The Glory is Gone

     Prophets, Apostles, and Healing Evangelists are finally admitting it:

     The Glory is gone.

     Oh, they aren’t admitting it openly and directly.  To do so would be a “negative confession.”  But they are admitting it quietly and indirectly.  Nearly every Charismatic Christian television program, book, and CD is proclaiming to us “The Glory is coming!” And, “Get ready for the Glory!” Also, “Pray for the Glory to come again!”

     For it to “come” it has to be presently absent.      In other words, “gone.”

     The Glory left us.

     Thank you,
