Apostle Bill Hamon has declared:

Now, God has brought new revelation and application.  The Saints Movement is the catalyst to launch the Church into the Third and Final Apostolic Reformation. God is releasing special supernatural grace and power to those who are willing and ready for Church Reformation.  They will be those who demonstrate the Kingdom of God for the transformation of nations.  All the hundreds of apostles and prophets I know around the world are sensing and saying the same thing, although some may use different terminology to express these things.  I cannot emphasize enough the importance of understanding and participating in the major transition and new thrust of the Holy Spirit taking place in the Church today.

Creative Miracles in the Role of the Saints:

Bill believes that it is the responsibility of the local church to raise up and equip God's people in their giftings and callings. "Millions of born again, Spirit-filled believers who have been trained and equipped will prophetically speak the words of Jesus and demonstrate His miraculous power as witnesses of the Kingdom of God," says Dr. Hamon. "It's not about who has the bigger church." Many Christians are looking for the day of the Lord, or the return of Jesus Christ. "Scripture indicates that many things will happen before the return of the Lord," says Hamon. "The saints will reap the greatest harvest of souls ever to come into the Kingdom."

The term saint is used in the Bible to identify God's chosen people. A true saint is one who has become holy through the righteousness of Christ. "They are anointed ones who have become set apart from the ways of the world to live Christ's life and demonstrate God's Kingdom," says Hamon. The Bible presents saints as being those whose sins have been washed away by the blood of Jesus and who have been born of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has gifts that He gives to every member of the Body of Christ. After Jesus ascended to heaven, He divided the gifts into five categories and gave them specific names: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers (Hamon refers to them as the "fivefold").

Apostles are like fathers and mothers who impart to the Body of Christ and raise them up as sons and daughters in the faith. Prophets bring supernatural revelation and insight, giving vision of the times and seasons of God so that saints know what to do. Teachers teach the Word of God with simplicity and wisdom. Pastors nurture the Body of Christ with counseling, clothing them with Christlike armor and garments. Evangelists impart zeal for souls to be saved and equip the saints with wisdom and anointing in winning the lost.

Dr. Hamon has been teaching pastors (he oversees over 600 pastors and churches) that God puts priority on saints, not on leaders. "The Day of the Saints will not do away with the leadership structure of the Church, but it will cause a paradigm shift in the way Church leaders view saints," he says. Hamon believes that many ordained ministers will have to make some radical attitude adjustments. He asks, "What does a saint called to be a minister in the pulpit need that is different from what a saint called to minister in the marketplace needs?" Nothing. All ministers require the same thing: to be born again, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to have a working knowledge of the Word of God. Jesus has a greater destiny for the corporate Body of the Church.
