The week after I’d marinated fruit for three days and then baked our Christmas cake I was sent the following by Patsy Southway wherein I read she’d also baked a cake!
Here’s Patsy’s reflections and insights from PICK Ministries posted on 29th November.:
‘Last night as I was journaling, I saw a long line in the sand – the Lord said that many of his children have been persistent in prayer, with declarations and believing hearts and have been patiently waiting to see the results – the breakthroughs.
Preparation
’But Father has been preparing OUR hearts to move into the ENLARGEMENT of His Kingdom that is coming. He reminded me that as I made a Christmas cake this week, the amount of ingredients, the time mixing it altogether and then, of course, the hours it took to cook, was a lot of preparation so that we can enjoy a slice or two of Christmas cake!
How much more, the preparation of our hearts. He is such a faithful Father, rich in mercy and compassion, loving us beyond our comprehension.
Birthing
’In a previous blog I wrote on the BIRTHING of Gods promises which He confirmed to me on the same day, while I was in a bank and a school room in the Czech Republic. His promises have NOT changed! He is bringing together ALL that he has promised.

CROSSING OVER
’This long line that I saw in the sand, was very long. I could see some people were right up against it and others not too far away. I sensed that God was showing me wherever they were on their journey depended on where they were positioned with Him,; they would all come to the line before crossing over. There were no shortcuts!
‘Today is the last day of November and tomorrow brings the start of a new month, December. ‘Shiftings’ have continued throughout this year, and as we move into the final month of 2015 and the time of CROSSING OVER this line in the sand has come, I could see HUGE waves of blessing were falling upon us as times of ABUNDANCE and REFRESHING had come!
‘It’s been a long haul for many of us but everything is for a Divine Purpose – it’s all about KNOWING HIM and making HIM KNOWN.’
ON REVIVAL
The subscriber who sent me a copy of the above commented that on the previous evening “the Lord spoke to our church and said in the next few weeks we would begin to see the first signs of revival”.
In view of what William Smith shared over lunch a few weeks ago on revival, I forwarded the email to him. That he’s truly a humble servant of the Lord is clearly evident in the way he told his testimony, this part of which I’m sharing with his kind permission:
“Seeking God in prayer for my life, knowing that my dreams of being a footballer, or an actor, or classical singer were now irrelevant because of the fire in my soul, I lived in a desperation to hear His heart for me. I knew Bible College awaited me and it was during these prayer times that Father spoke so clearly to me. He said :
“You will see major revival in this land in your lifetime and you will be instrumental in its happening.”
‘The term ” in your lifetime” was stamped on my mind and spirit. It meant that I would physically be on the earth and hands on in this revival. I would not be a witness from heaven to the events.’
That was 1963 and so Bill’s been carrying a prophetical promise for over 50 years just as Arthur Burt did (details here). I shared that I know the awesome nature of such promises. (Years ago my wife and I were briefly commanded, “Await His return!”, by a well-known prophet as he quickly walked by intent on talking to someone else.)
Bill thanked me for the copy email of Patsy’s and commented as follows.
‘So blessed by today’s word from you…’
