Jones was using his“prophetic anointing” to induce women to disrobe so theycould “stand naked before the Lord in order to receive aword.” As for 2012, Jones has his own “prophetic ministry”based in Mississippi, and he continues to travel and“prophesy” at charismatic churches and conferences.Paul Cain (b. 1929) is the most renowned of the “newprophets.” He claims that the “Angel of the Lord” first visitedhim when he was eight years old and that he has experiencedcountless visions and revelatory dreams and angelicvisitations since then.He began conducting healing campaigns at age 18 and wasone of the prominent names in the Pentecostal “HealingRevival” of the late 1940s and 1950s, which we describe in thebook e Pentecostal-Charismatic Movements: e Historyand Error.
