Dream-Outpouring of Holy Spirit in Jefferson County Alabama

Awakening Revival in Coal Mining Towns of Jefferson County AL

Dream—Someone from Alabama sent me a newspaper article about the Wind of Holy Spirit bringing revival in the hills of several coal mining towns in Jefferson County Alabama. The name of the Newspaper was the Democrat Reporter, which is a newspaper from Marengo county, where Cheryl and I once lived.  The article had a map of the coal mining towns ENE of Birmingham AL. It also told of the movement of Holy Spirit. This was not news of yesterday, but news to come for Mulga, Bayview and the surrounding area. I saw a map of the coal mining towns in the near Mulga, Alabama which is in Jefferson County. The area I saw is very familiar to me. Also on the map was the name Colma. Now Colma is not a town in the region but the name of my step-grandmother. Her name was right next to Mulga.

The article spoke of many souls coming to Jesus as the Holy Spirit brought conviction, of their need for Yeshua. The manifestation of Holy Spirit is sitting in this area of Jefferson County. Many healings and miracles reported and the oppressive atmosphere that sin produces, is gone. Many are being filled with Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. One portion of the article talked about the great joy that is in the city. I thought about Philip in Acts 8:4-8. “Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. ⁵ Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. ⁶ And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city.”

I wept as I looked in my dream at the plans our Lord plans for the inhabitants of Mulga, Alabama. Good News for the region is what our Lord has planned for Mulga. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 tells us that Yahweh reveals his plans. But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” ¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” 

I know Mulga very well because it’s where my mother, Sylvia Vines Malone was raised. My grandfather, Edward Clanton Vines and my step grandmother Colma Vines were residents of the region for many decades. They lived right next to a railroad track and my my grandfather worked as a foreman on the railroad as a bridge builder. Every day he would walk a couple of miles to work.

My family went up from Demopolis to visit at least every other month. I have nothing but fond memories of the region.  You could smell the steel mills of Bessemer and Ensley (Little Pittsburgh.) You could taste the iron ore in the water. Talk about ingesting heavy metals. I did it all the time. I ran and played in the hills of Mulga Alabama.

My grandparents were members of Village Falls Methodist. I was christened in this church. As a young child, going to this church was something I enjoyed. I was mesmerized by the presence of the Lord that were on these Methodists. The choir would sing the song, “All Hail the Power of Jesus Name” with such passion, I could feel Holy Spirit. They were also passionate when they sang the “Doxology*.” They also recited the “Apostles Creed*” every Sunday. I thought Jesus might walk through the door at any moment.

In the 70’s Holy Spirit dwelled among them in revival. A pastor came to this rural Methodist Church by the name of Stan Beason. Pastor Stan was a Spirit-filled believer who spoke in tongues, prophesied, and danced before our Lord. He had a handle bar mustache. Pastor Stan would dance before our Lord and twist his handle bar mustache and smile. He then would invite you to come down to the altar to dance in His Presence. Great joy was on the church, but there was also opposition from those who didn’t believe in Holy Spirit demonstration. At some point Pastor Stan was hired by Oral Roberts to be over prayer and counseling at the City of Faith in Tulsa OK.

I believe that the roots of revival are alive and well in Mulga. Please pray for the coal mining towns of the region.

Passionate for a Third Great Awakening,

*Doxlogy written in 1674 by Thomas Ken

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

*Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

Amen.
