God Has Done Something Remarkable: An Interview with Paul Hattaway
PneumaReview.com: From your book, An Asian Harvest, it is clear that you have significant experience with the underground church in China. In your experience would you say that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as described by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 12, are evident in the underground church?
Paul Hattaway: Not only are all the gifts of the Spirit evident among the house churches in China, but over the years I have been blessed to hear of so many extraordinary miracles in China that it could be said that every miracle in the Bible takes place at least once somewhere in China each year. These even include miracles like the multiplication of food, and I have personally interviewed three people who have seen dead people raised to life through prayer, including one man who had died. All these testimonies, which have been attested to by numerous witnesses, will be in the new series of books coming out next year.
Regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit outlined in 1 Corinthians 12, all of these are on display in the Chinese house churches, in different ways and in varying degrees of emphasis. Without the gifts and power of the Living God, nothing of the revival in China would have taken place. It has been a sovereign miracle of the Lord, not merely the work of men and women. He has poured out His Spirit upon broken and humble (and repentant) vessels, and the result has been over 100 million people turning to Jesus and having their lives mightily transformed. When it’s all said and done, no man will be able to claim credit for anything in the Chinese revival. Everyone will see and acknowledge it has been a supernatural move of God.
