A National Prayer Evening was held on 3rd November by Christian International Europe in Windsor, Royal Berkshire. Daytime sessions included prophetic training and several prophetical voices shared what they believe God is saying for 2013.
The first to speak on what the Lord is saying at this time was Dr Sharon Stone, who opened with this important caveat:
“I do not believe that when I bring forth a prophetic word it’s ‘the beginning’ or ‘the end’ of what The Spirit of God is saying; it’s just my part that God has given me at that time.
I also believe there are different types of prophetic gifting, and I realise that about myself. I am not called to deny the darkness or even the judgement, or the shaking, that is going on in the earth, but the type of prophet that I am is that I am called to be a voice of hope and solution in the midst of the darkness and in the midst of the shaking…it is not a denying of the one or the other…” (my emphasis)
In view of my discussion with Sharon earlier in the year about the special locality possibly being a ‘link’ between heaven and earth, I was interested to learn that she and husband Greg had just moved into Windsor. They didn’t have phones other than a mobile until the previous day, and the TV system in the new house needed a specialist technician to hook up and demonstrate its use. So they weren’t able to keep up with the latest world news except on the internet, and this is what Sharon shared about ‘superstorm’ Sandy.:
“I don’t want to talk about the hurricane only hitting New York – it hit the Caribbean, it hit New Jersey, it hit New York, it went on up into Canada. There were deaths everywhere and so we don’t downsize any of that. In matter of fact, its eye hit New Jersey but the greatest amount of damage was done in New York and I think the reason people put the emphasis on that is simply because that’s the financial district, that has the Statue of Liberty, a place of identity for the nation, a place of rule in the nation. And so that’s why I believe people’s focus is upon there, even though that’s not the only place that it touched…
“I only got to see it once in a while…and one time the Lord said,
“The hurricane Sandy is a punctuation.”
“…and so when I would see it, one time it would look like a full stop with the eye in the middle…another time with it swirling it would look like the question mark, with the dot, and when I’d see it another time it was elongated and it looked like the exclamation mark with the dot on the bottom!
“And the Lord kept saying that this hurricane and these winds are ‘a punctuation’ – not just in the US but a punctuation in the world. Now a type of punctuation means that it draws the line, and it brings a separation and there is an alteration after that, and this is what the Lord said; He says,
“These are re-arranging winds and they’re changing the course of nations.”
“…This is a “re-arranging winds and a changing of the course of nations” and the Lord spoke this, and forgive me as I’m going to read some of this because I want to get the words right. The Lord said:
“The Old World’s time has cycled around again to become a New World (we’re part of that Old World, here in Europe) to rewrite history, no longer a Constantine conversion that advances religion without Christ. Hidden winds of change have been developing on the inside of My people and they are now blowing change into the world. The western New World, particularly the USA, will enter accelerated crisis-shaking to hasten their journey to learn that I am their true resource and I am their defender. The USA has been a champion of freedom for much of the oppressed world, but you cannot represent freedom without representing Me, Jesus, Who is the provider and Who can bring sustainable protection to the nation.
“The Lord says,
“Parts of these winds that are blowing, part of these winds that are bringing a re-arranging, are blowing away what has confused nations of their identity.
“We’re not the only nation that has been in an identity crisis. I believe that many of our nations have had skewed identity and the Lord is saying this; He says,
“I will bring you out of what you have designed by your own thinking and by your own hands – listen to that! – that I may redesign it by My thoughts and My plans.”

Winds of Change
On Friday August 24, I started hearing the phrase, “winds of change”. As I began praying about this, I saw a woman holding onto a flagpole and she was perpendicular to the flagpole because the wind was so powerful and she was hanging on for dear life. I then began to be reminded of a dream that I had 2 years prior that I am re-posting below.
I had a dream 9/8/2010 about a large storm that was out in the
Atlantic ocean and it was just sitting there, not moving at all. Then
I saw a man standing on the state of Florida and he was holding in his
hands a pair of the red tipped flash lights that the guys on the
tarmac use to guide the jets in and he was signaling to the storm to
come towards him.
These 2 things are related, I believe, to one another. There was a political convention happening in Florida from which it is hoped that a new leader will be chosen and subsequently elected representing a change in regime. This storm is both physical and spiritual in nature.
Neither party can be the change that is needed here in America which will be brought about by repentance and turning back to the God of our Fathers.
Something to definitely take to the Lord in prayer.

Am back and thank you for your patience Tony.
Sharon doesn’t run a blog but I’d suggest you may wish to consider recognised prophetic folk in the States, if you’ve not already done so. Here’s a few I know; Bobby Conner, Paul Keith Davies, Chuck Pierce, Dutch Sheets, as well as Bill Hamon’s Christian International. For 2011 and 2012 we watched ‘Start the Year Off Right’ prophetic conferences in Phoenix and Tucson – for the next in January see https://www.bridgebuilders.net/calendar
Also, there’s Patricia King’s ministry located in Maricopa
You may find John Kilpatrick’s teaching on ‘faith pictures’ encouraging for he recounts the prophetic one he had as a young man of what the Lord would do – the Brownsville Revival (listen from 1hr43min of last Sunday’s message at http://churchofhispresence.org/media/player/media/a-pictures-worth-a-thousand-words/video/)
Hope some of this may help.
