God, Working with David E. Taylor! Hasn’t Been Seen For Thousands of Years!

Jesus first appeared face to face to David E. Taylor in a dream, when he was seventeen and a gangster on the streets. Jesus revealed Himself as the Savior and the Son of God. This appearance led to his conversion, much like Apostle Paul’s on the road to Damascus. Apostle Taylor fell in love with Jesus and radically pursued an intimate relationship with Him. This intense pursuit has increased over the years, and he continues to experience regular face to face visitations from Jesus (Many are detailed in his world-famous book, Face to Face Appearances from Jesus: The Ultimate Intimacy). Out of this face to face relationship, the ancient message of God’s Kingdom, the one that Jesus taught his disciples two thousand years ago, was birthed and demonstrated. Since then, mass healings, miracles, deliverance, and divine restoration takes place, and the dead become resurrected! David quickly recognized the supernatural intimacy and power of God that was available to everyone who would believe. A deep compassion and desire came over David, and his prayer ever since has been for others to experience intimacy with the Lord through face to face visitations too.

In 2008, Jesus appeared to David E. Taylor in a dream, and commanded him to write a book that would shake the world. He said, “I want you to write a book on face to face appearances, and show my people by scripture how I did this throughout the Bible, and how I want all men to experience me like this. Use your life as a testimony that this relationship is possible to have with me in the twenty-first century. When you write this in a book, me and My Father will appear before whole regions in America and the nations and it will be captured on the news.” The Lord Jesus also said to him, “I will draw near and appear to everyone who reads this book in dreams and visions.” You will see in this article how this has already begun. When the book was released, Face to Face broke out, and now millions are experiencing intimacy with Jesus in their dreams and visions, resulting in global salvation. People everywhere are giving their hearts to Jesus. This is happening throughout America and the world, just like Solomon experienced when the Lord appeared to him in a dream, “the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night..” (1 Kings 3:4). Now, God is using this book as a tool to carry both His and His Son Jesus’ words to highlight and restore the lost doctrine and New Testament promise of face to face intimacy that the church has overlooked for centuries!

“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you…he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (John 14:18,21)

The church has wrongly taught the message of seeing the Lord’s face by misinterpreting such scriptures like, “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29). In the New Testament, Jesus confirmed that He appeared face to face after His resurrection. In the above scripture, Jesus was not discounting the importance of making appearances to men, otherwise He wouldn’t have appeared to Paul after He made this statement. But rather, He was rebuking the unbelief in the disciple Thomas who had walked with him face to face for three and a half years, and then had the audacity to challenge Him without faith.

Another scripture that people take out of context is when Jesus said, “if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not” (Mat.24:23). In these scriptures, Jesus was speaking about His second coming, and that before He comes, there will be many saying that He has already returned. This is not what David E. Taylor is proclaiming, instead, he is preaching about the Biblical manifestation that adheres to the very foundation of our Christian faith. Jesus not only died, but He rose again, and He still appears to His people face to face today! “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8).

The Latter Rain: How It All Started

In the year 2000, a visitation from the Lord happened that forever changed David’s life. An eight-year old boy who was the son of a JMMI staff member, was taken to Heaven and spoke to Jesus. He received a message from Jesus to give to David. The message from Jesus was concerning the end-time move of God, known in the scriptures as the “Latter Rain”. This message was so important to David, because he had been pursuing God about it for years. In Heaven, the young boy saw a portal open up, showing him the future and what would take place. He gazed in amazement as he saw millions of people emptying out of their nations and coming to America because a massive move of God had hit! The little boy explained that he was at the Throne Room of God. David asked him if he had seen the Father, but the child said, “No, He wasn’t on His throne.” In amazement, David asked him, “Where was the Father?” The boy responded, “He was on the Earth working with you.” The child went on to say, “This is the message Jesus sent me to give you.”

The Father is the Latter Rain!

The scriptures are clear that God “came down’” from Heaven off His throne to work with Moses on the Earth to deliver His people! “And I am come down to deliver them” (Exodus 3:8). The child also gave David a message from Jesus, saying “Tell David that I am pleased with what he preaches because he doesn’t preach what people want to hear, he preaches what I want to hear.” David was shocked! It took him six years to believe that the Father would come down again openly in the twenty-first century, making notable appearances in the cloud, working with him as He did with Moses and Jesus during their ministry on Earth. From the year 2000 up until about 2006, David proclaimed the message that the Father was going to come down on the Earth,

“the Lord brought us forth…with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders” -Deut. 26:8

although he wondered in his heart, “How could something of this magnitude happen?” He had always thought that the Latter Rain was Jesus coming and moving on the Earth. He also understood that this outpouring did not consist of another outpouring of the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit was poured out already. When the visitation happened, the Holy Spirit began to connect all the scriptures to David’s understanding, and it became clear to him that the Latter Rain is the Father Himself coming down on Earth! This will be an even greater outpouring! This is so much more than God just sending and pouring out His Spirit in the Earth. Father God Himself is coming off His throne and coming down to Earth to pour Himself out as the Latter Rain, in front of all men.

“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD.. he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth” (Hosea 6:3).

In Hebrew, the word “LORD” in this passage of scripture is “Jehovah” and it is referring to God the Father! The Father is the Latter Rain! The Father is the husbandman, He is a gardener! He is looking to harvest the crops (souls) of men on the Earth! He is coming down as the Latter Rain to prepare and water the people in order to bring in the end-time harvest of souls! “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman” (John 15:1). The scriptures also bear witness in the epistle of James: “Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth.. until he receive the early and latter rain” (James 5:7).

In 2006, Jesus appeared to David E. Taylor face to face while he was fasting and praying in the church. The Lord walked through the wall and spoke to him, promising that the message He gave him through the little boy was now starting! Jesus told David that He would not only use his life and ministry to appear to others, but that he had been given what Moses and what He Himself (Jesus) had in their life and ministry: the Father coming down in a cloud working notably in the eyesight of millions! This visitation gave David more confidence and faith! After this Face to Face visitation from the Lord, it was just weeks later when the Father first came down as Jesus foretold to him. The Lord started telling David E. Taylor where He was going to show up and appear in the cloud, like He did with Moses when He appeared in the eyesight of three million Israelites on Mt. Sinai. God told Moses, “..the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai” (Ex. 19:11). Since 2006, multiple appearances from the Lord have been and continue to be captured by the secular news media in every city that David E. Taylor proclaims the Lord will come down! God is notably doing it again in the twenty-first century with David E. Taylor, just as He came down notably in the cloud in both Moses’ day and in the days of Jesus.
