From the sermon "The valley of the dry bones" from 1918 or 1919, by Aimee Semple McPherson :

"We will not see the body in an entirety which will be apparent to the human eye, before the coming of the Lord. This movement, praise God, will never be one great organization, but rather an Organism. We are expecting, however, a unity amongst the different members of the body (such as we have never seen before) to develop right down here in this world."

This excerpt from the beginning of the paragraph gives context :

"When the latter rain began to fall in copious showers in 1907, the Spirit moved mightily in answer to prayer the whole world over, awakening and bringing to life innumerable valleys of dry bones - there was a noise. Sinners wept their way to Jesus and cried aloud: "What shall I do to be saved?"
Believers were filled with the Spirit, shouted, and often talked for hours at a time in other tongues (Acts 2:4) as the Spirit gave utterance. The noise of their joyous praises filled the sky. The glimpse which believers caught of the body and of the plan to restore the Church to her full Pentecostal power and life caused them to shout aloud before the glorious vision, and well, it is putting it very moderately to say: 'there was a noise'"


That is prophetic, just it is taking longer to fulfill than McPherson thought. The full power will be present in an organism, not in an organization. As the wind blows and noone knows from where and to where, the Spirit moving that organism will also blow. Amen.
