Keep Praying and Bless: Day 1 – Plymouth & environs


Musing over what had happened to me just before awaking and as our daily prayers have returned to the beginning of 2012’s Keep Praying and Bless booklet, it seems the Lord may want me to republish the 70 days of decree and blessing over the British Isles:

 Decree: I AM THE GATE

Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of Glory may come in.” (Psalm 24:7)

We decree the gates of the Church, Government, Judiciary, Education, Commerce, Family and Media be opened, that Jesus Christ be enthroned to take His rightful place of rule and authority in every sphere of life.

Aaronic Blessing: The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, The Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace. Thus, we put His name upon you and He will bless you (Numbers 6:24-27).

We bless and welcome the King of Glory to rule and reign over the British Isles and Irish Republic.

Decrees and Blessing

The Keep Praying & Bless booklet produced for 2012 Olympic Games in London states, ‘The prayers in this guide are based upon the Name of God, the great ‘I AM’ and when we honour God’s Name He will reveal His glory. Each day we will declare a Name and aspect of God to make decrees and bless.

Job 2:28 tells us “Thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established”. We are called to make heavenly decrees, decrees that will bring about divine justice. As with Jeremiah (1:10), our anointed words will uproot the forces of darkness and plant kingdom revelation.

We speak blessings because the Bible says that one of the roles of the priests (Levites) was to speak (not pray) blessings over people. We have become a kingdom of priests to our God and should take this privilege seriously.

My notes of Dr Stone’s Mentoring Day: Britain is at a Crossroad covers the principles of decrees in some depth.

Prophetic vision of a great shaking coming to New Britain

I wonder if this from Yinka Oyekan in Reading may be what Smith-Wigglesworth and, 50 years later, his prayer partner Norman James may have seen? (as here RB):

A prophetic vision: – There is a shaking coming to this nation unlike any that has been seen in a generation. A fulfilment of many prophetic words. God is about to move in ways that will cause the foundations of Hell to shake and the pulpits of the churches to rattle and some to be replaced. The normal acquiescence to what are considered cultural norms are about to shift.

I saw in a vision Father and he had stood up and was calling out the names of his sons and daughters, and pointing to the cross and they came running to him. On the streets of the UK, scales were falling off their eyes and many had a change in their countenance as they heard his voice and stood in his presence. They were transformed into courageous prophetic individuals fearless and willing to hold leaders and brothers and sisters to account.

I saw that it is not just political organisations that will be shaken in this season. I saw ecclesiastical structures and organisations being shaken. I saw crowns falling and thrones being removed. A grass-roots call for the church to return to the word of God and its foundational truth will take hold, as believers become desperate for a Christianity that is authentic whilst embracing, kind but honest, pure but forgiving, reflecting of true holiness and unwilling to betray the blood of Jesus Christ.

I saw city after city in a revival of a love for Jesus as the Glory cloud descends. I saw in the vision intercessors suddenly burning brighter as if the Lord had turned the dimmer switch to its brightest setting, they became like glowing ones, like the angels. I saw in this vision flames of fire raging through the heavens as the tongues of prophets became like tongues of fire, a holy fire.

I see a deep conviction coming upon the church about their moral laxity and complacency, and I see the bride of Christ released from her constraints as Fathers love descends and takes a hold of this United Kingdom. And then I saw the streets filled with multitudes worshipping God with tears and with hands raised in exultation as the orphan spirit over the nation was broken and the nation turned once more to her Father in heaven.

“When Lord?” I said when I saw the vision and he said,

“Soon son, soon. Tell my people to prepare their hearts so that on the day of my visitation they will stand, and tell her leaders I want my church back, and tell my sheep in this outpouring that started in Reading, it’s them and their sons and daughters I wish to empower, So come to the waters and drink.”

For more see Revival in Reading: 1,200 People Turn to Christ in Just 3 Weeks

Upon visiting Yinka’s Facebook and church website The Gate, I noticed they meet in the building previously used by Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), which was planted by Carey Baptist in central Reading. I attended TFC from 1990, was baptised by Revd Barry Kirk and stayed until marrying my dear Nina in 2002, thereby moving to East Hants.

This reminded me of a vivid ‘flash image’ I had in a service at Meadway in the mid-90’s of a nuclear explosion but in reverse!  It was about the time most Reading churches started praying together. I understood the image to mean the Lord’s power would unexpectedly explode but it would come inwards to the town and thereby get concentrated.

Let it be so Lord…

Thoroughly drunk and rolling around the streets at 7am

Upon sitting up in the middle of the road this morning I squinted at one of several bemused strangers as they too took an ‘invisible’ drink. I reassured him, “Don’t worry – there’s no hangover!”

Being ‘smashed’ I then rolled over, my face hitting the brick-coloured road surface – it was soft! Most surprising…I awoke with my face buried into the bedsheet and grinned.

It’s been some years since I’d been filled with the joyous laughter of the Holy Spirit and left seemingly drunk – and there’s absolutely no toxic limit!

Whatever is the Lord up to I wondered, whilst I tried waking up. This fascinating dream had developed from my being in what may have been a church hall. After going outside I found a largish kiosk on the pavement and, walking around to its other side I saw a white-haired man speaking to people. He was putting his hand on them and someone beside him suddenly got touched by the Holy Spirit. As I approached he touched me and I suddenly rolled to the ground under Holy Spirit’s influence – then came the prolonged chuckle plus a number of amusing incidents involving strangers in that street. I could even recall when it had happened before.

Could this unusual dream signify things are definitely starting to change?

FAILED COUP: Turkey’s increasingly dangerous Islamist President Erdogan returns to power.

Saturday morning’s news coverage – see also Debkafile Special Report.

Erdogan

In a stunning night of violence, conspiracy and dramatic reversals, an attempted coup by a faction of Turkish military officers and soldiers determined to bring down the increasingly authoritarian and dangerous Islamist regime of President Recep Erdogan has failed.

Now what? What does the future hold for the nearly 80 million Muslims of Turkey?

Erdogan (pronounced “Air-do-wan”) was out of the country when the coup began late Friday night. But he was in contact with top generals who were loyal to him. By the wee hours of the morning, his plane landed in Istanbul and he announced that he was firmly back in control.

Calling the coup plotters “terrorists” engaged in “treason,” he ordered the arrest of more than 700 military officers and soldiers so far, saying “the army must be cleansed” of anyone disloyal to him.

Here’s the latest on the coup from the BBC:

  • Sixty people died during overnight clashes, many of them…

It is the biggest story of the evening – elements of the Turkish military are declaring a coup and are trying to take over Ankara, the capital, and Istanbul, the largest city. It was interesting timing that the President of Turkey, and heir apparent to the throne of a new Ottoman Empire, was out of the country when it occurred.

Elements of the Turkish military close down the bridge outside of Istanbul, which connects Europe to Asia. Elements of the Turkish military close down the bridge outside of Istanbul, which connects Europe to Asia.

This is to be the start of the Third Signpost. My readers would know why this news story is potentially large when the Four Signposts are considered.

Glory Days – this weekend in Daphne, Alabama

What a week of prayer decrees and declarations!

Today’s decree, according to our progress through Keep Praying and Bless (outlined in UK/EU in/out #10: Prayer of Protection for Britain), brings a most appropriate decree and blessing to the first official day of New Britain’s new Prime Minister, Theresa May:

I AM THE RESTORER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS He prays to God and finds favour with Him, he sees God’s face and shouts for joy; he is restored by God to his righteous state.’ (Job 33:26)

“We decree, ‘God is the restorer of righteousness, justice and integrity to a nation!’

“We bless communities of the British Isles with being restored by God to righteousness, justice and integrity.”

Yesterday David Cameron tendered his resignation to the Queen, who then invited Mrs May to form a government. Our starting script for yesterday was wonderfully apposite in view of Nina having seen “This is MY country” during Trooping The Colour.:

I AM FATHER TO THESE ISLANDS – ‘You, O Lord, are our Father; Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.’ (Isaiah 63:16)

“We decree, ‘Lord, you are Father to these islands and that you are our Redeemer from everlasting!’

“We bless the church in the British Isles with knowing the unconditional, super-abundant love of God the Father, a love that never fails, that always honours, always forgives and always blesses.”

In using the original schedule for cleansing prayer throughout the Olympic flame’s country-wide tour in 2012, those above prayers were specifically for Ealing and for Haringey. The next two days are especially fitting. Perhaps you’d join in and ‘rubber-stamp’ AMEN?

Day 69 – Westminster (residents, workers and government):

I AM THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES – ‘Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.’ (Phil 2: 9-11)

“We decree ‘Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father, and that His name is above every other name. At His name every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God. We decree that the government of the British Isles is on His shoulders’.”

“We bless the nations and islands of the British Isles with knowing and believing that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father, and we bless them with bowing the knee to the name of Jesus.”

Day 70 – The Olympic Park (we replace by ‘The City of London’):

I AM THE EXALTED HEAD OVER ALL ‘Yours, O LORD is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom O LORD and You are exalted as head over all.” (1 Chron 29:11)

“We decree that ‘You, O God, are the exalted head over all the British Isles and every nation of the world, that Yours is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty’.”.

“We bless the British Isles with knowing that Jesus is the exalted head over all, that He is Almighty God and that His is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty. We bless the people of the British Isles with the joy of knowing Jesus as their personal Saviour.”

Prayer of Protection:

uk

“Almighty Father, we come to You in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, and in that mighty Name we break the power of every strategy and assignment sent against the British Isles and Ireland – and against ourselves and…. We pray the mighty covering of the Living Blood of Jesus Christ over our villages, towns and cities; over our coastlands, seaports and airports; over our roadways, railways and waterways and traffic thereon – as well as over ourselves and….

“We ask that You release the angelic host to protect us from every terrorist attack and lift each citizen above every circumstance and crisis. We affirm the finished work of Christ over all demonic forces and decree: no weapon formed against the plans and purposes for the British Isles and Ireland will prosper. We also decree: no longer will violence be heard in our land, or destruction within or at our borders. We bless the atmosphere to be charged with peace and order.    Amen.” (Isaiah 54:17 & 60:18)

Fulfilled prophecy #8: part 1 – Prime Minister resigns in battle for Britain

“I will surprise you with the leaders of nations. I have ways to cause leaders that have been promoted to bow their knees. You will think they’re going one way, but you watch Me knock the feet out from under them; you watch them see Me in a way they’ve never seen Me before!” (Published 2013)

The above three years-old prophetic word popped unsought into my attention late on Monday afternoon after a weekend mulling over powerful words from last week.

I was amazed at its direct relevance to what’s been happening here over the past month: on David Cameron’s decision for the UK to remain in the EU and the subsequent public vote for us to leave, with its severe jolt to his government – and the more astonishing fact that ALL leading political proponents for ‘Leave’ have also fallen by the wayside, and thus could NOT succeed him as Prime Minister.

Apparently, Cameron remarked proudly upon his achievement of introducing same-sex ‘marriage’. However, he’ll regret it because, ‘there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account’ (Heb  4:13).  So, maybe the Lord decided it’s time to get him kicked out!

AND his wasn’t the only position in turmoil: not only Conservative party ‘Brexiteers’ Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Andrea Leadsom were unexpectedly out of the running as his successor, but also the leader of UK Independence Party’s Nigel Farage resigned having achieved his goal of the UK’s leaving the EU!  As for Her Majesty’s official opposition, the Labour Party?  LOL, it’s in continual turmoil over exceptionally lack-lustre leadership!!

The Prime Minister had decided to retire in the Autumn. Unbeknown to me until hearing the 5pm news in the car on Monday, he then brought forward his retirement to today.

Before that, however, I’d emailed friends with a link to some mid-afternoon breaking news from which I infer the Lord may bless Theresa May as Cameron’s successor because of her strong support of Israel.

In catching up with Middle-Eastern news I read that she was a keynote speaker at April’s Israeli Independence Day in London and vowed ‘to redouble all efforts to wipe out anti-Semitism in Britain’; (she) observed, “without its Jews Britain would not be British. The Jewish people have long been an important and integral part of this country”.

Therefore, not only was ‘Brexit’ an act of God but so too is Cameron’s replacement by a lady who didn’t seek the premiership.  

I’m reminded of theologian NT Wright’s interview with Christians Today (publ 24.2.2016): “God will hold rulers and magistrates to account for the discharge of this responsibility. In other words, neither anarchy nor tyranny”. Basing this upon Paul’s instruction in Romans 13, he implies Christians should submit to governing authorities and limit our political role. BUT this begs the question: are we to do so when they fall under the control of Revelation 13’s demonic powers and their ‘Mark of the Beast’? No way!

In the next two parts I’ll tell how I came across that prophetic word and its forecast for fulfillment in 2016 (!), as well as to how it may relate to a spiritual battle for New Britain.

Putin crosses a line – bans Russians from preaching the Gospel outside churches. Here’s the latest.

This comes with today’s news of Russia becoming the first world power outside the Middle-East to recognise and take military action against the trans-national Islamist peril (Debkafile Russian anti-Isis war from Syria to Caucasus).

Putin-doorway-Reuters

Russian President Vladimir Putin has just crossed a very dangerous line. He has just signed a law making it illegal for Russian followers of Jesus Christ to share or preach the Gospel anywhere outside the walls of their church, or even email their family and friends to invite them to church. What’s more, he has done so under the guise of preventing “terrorism.”

As I have been warning for a decade (see here, here, hereand in my 2006 book, Epicenter), Putin — who is fashioning himself as a rising Czar — is an increasingly dangerous despot. He continues to centralize government power and control to himself. He is trampling over human rights, the media, and NGOs. He is rebuilding the Russian military. He has invaded neighboring Georgia and Ukraine. He is arming and building alliances with Radical Islamic countries, particularly Iran.

Now, Putin is positioning himself as an enemy of Christ and His Church. If he doesn’t not…

David Hathaway: Brexit & EU – continual prayers needed

Further to David’s request for prayer regarding the EU-Referendum, he emails:

I do believe that when God called me to evangelise Europe over 50 years ago He gave me a strong and clear vision of Europe in prophecy – this was the reason for the magazine, ‘Prophetic Vision’, and subsequently the film, ‘The Rape of Europe’.

Now the breaking news will even more strongly evidence what God has revealed to me. The Express online, 29th June states – ‘EU Superstate to be unveiled, EU nations ‘to be morphed into one’, post Brexit!

This is exactly what we showed in our Prophetic Vision magazine as far back as 2008 and repeated in the run up to the Referendum in our Summer 2016 edition No 80. I was clear in my own perception that the main issues raised in the campaigning, immigration and the economy, were only a smoke screen to hide the real issues, such as total loss of sovereignty and the creation of a superstate. Next week (July 9-10), I am the main speaker at a Prophetic Conference in BELGIUM!!

I intend to speak out strongly on the future of both an independent Britain and Europe’s future in the light of Bible Prophecy. This sudden and shocking news does confirm the importance of our Referendum and is a strong wake-up call to the Church to respond – if only we would prayerfully consider exactly what God says in His Word!

Now, as Christians, we need strong leadership spiritually and also politically and must act decisively. I believe that just as we prayed earnestly for God’s will to be done, we must now believe that the outcome is part of God’s plan, both for us as Christians and the British nation as a whole. God is setting us free for a spiritual purpose and we must as Christians and Church unite until we become ‘The Head and not the Tail!!’ We desperately need to continue to pray for unity in a nation divided, but also that God will bring a spirit of repentance and forgiveness on both sides. I believe that prophetically this is God’s way forward for us as a nation, to take a lead in returning to Biblical standards as individual Christians, but more importantly, led by a Church which must return to God-commanded Biblical Standards, unchanged by man’s sinful nature. Let us thank God that He is about to free us from the secularism which came from the French Revolution and Napoleonic law in Europe. Now we must return to our Judeo/Christian heritage especially because one result of mass immigration has been to bring the false gods and heathen culture from the very nations where we sent missionaries to convert them to Christ! Thank God for those who converted there, who have returned to bring the Gospel back to Britain. But with them have come the ‘missionaries’ who seek to radicalise our youth with their false religions!

Just as the preaching of John and Charles Wesley saved us from the French Revolution, and our National Days of Prayer called by King George VI during the darkest days of the last war saved us from Hitler, I believe that once more we must rise up in prayer to resist the ‘enemy within our gates’! We shall not see a repeat of the ‘Welsh Revival’, never in history has God either with Israel or with us repeated His awakenings! Today we face a different enemy, not just the sins of ‘the world, the flesh and the Devil,’ but a two-fold attack from the same Devil with a different strategy: the total secularisation of society and the rise of an alternative religion. The fault lies not with the world, but with us – we have failed to preach the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ which by repentance and forgiveness, changes men and women, offering not just comfort, but hope and faith and power and blessing and relationship with God, through Jesus Christ!

Suddenly I am in demand – after Ukraine, several countries now want National Days of Prayer – more of Europe is desperate for the Gospel – even the Government in Israel now needs me! The demands on our finance are more than doubling – I saw this coming and we ask you to pray with us that ‘God will supply all our needs according to His own Riches in Glory.’

Thank you – the Bible says, ‘Pray without Ceasing’. We have won a battle but not yet won the war!!!

Notes (RB):

  • As strongly suspected and anticipated by Leavers, the EU introduced a raft of changes immediately after the Brexit result. One of these is the formation of an EU Army under direction of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs & Security, a post established under EU recommendation 666 (as emailed here).
  • Andrea Leadsom MP, one of the two female finalists to replace David Cameron as PM, is a committed Christian and Bible reader and who, thus, should know the sanctity of marriage – read interview here.
  • David’s comment about the Lord not bringing fresh awakening not only limits the sovereignty of God but also flies in the face of the historical facts.
  • Those wishing to keep abreast of news for prayer purposes should note Jonathan Ely continues to keep close tabs on developments on facebook’s Why Leave EU?

New Britain: a real reformation and greater glory coming

Published this morning on The Elijah List, this prophetic word is from teacher and revivalist Amanda Wells of Brisbane and who’s associated with the Australian Prophetic Council. NOTE the reference to ‘a cloth being torn in two’ reminds me of the open vision I had in 2004 (as here):

BRITAIN: REFORMATION IS COMING WITH A FAR GREATER GLORY!

Charles Shamp: the Lion has Roared and the Eagle will Fly!

Lion_Eagle

Note: thank you David Robinson for letting me know this is on Elijah List as it’s not on the Shamp’s Facebook. Published here with links and minor editorial changes only:

For many years now our family and ministry has had a burning desire for awakening and revival to return to Great Britain. Those that follow Destiny Encounters know that last year Brynn and I, along with our children spent three months traveling across the United Kingdom ministering in every church or ministry group that would open its doors to us. There was a mandate in our hearts concerning sowing into the rich revival heritage of that land.

In fact, a year before, the Spirit of intercession had come upon me and my close friend, Munday Martin, while at a lunch meeting with the Heartbeat team that hosted us in England. I laid prostrate on the floor weeping and praying for the nation in a home outside the city of Norwich. God was placing in my heart a deep burden for those beautiful lands. Upon returning home I shared my heart with Brynn regarding what the Lord had placed in me. During that time the Lord spoke with me and said, “Son, whatever you sow into this land you will reap for your nation, America”.

When I shared this with Brynn our hearts began to burn within us with a mandate to see Britain come alive with another awakening. This word was confirmed just a few months later when Chuck Pierce called me out and prophesied that God would use us on Island Nations to shift governments. I told Chuck this was a total confirmation of what the Lord had spoken to us about going to the United Kingdom. He laughed and said, praise God that’s a big island, go for it! With the help of a wonderful team of ministers and intercessors we were able to spend three months traveling and ministering across the island. God did amazing miracles and although the meetings were not attended by hundreds of people it was a significant time of sowing into the land to see change. Our love for the United Kingdom and its destiny had become such a passion in our hearts. We even felt very strongly to cancel a trip to Germany so we could stay longer in England to sow the Word.

Honestly we felt one with the people and the land, it was supernatural. We also understood that seed takes time to grow and while we are not a mega ministry that could draw the masses to the meetings to hear what the Lord was telling us we knew that God’s word never returns void and His word carries mega impact. It has been awesome to see what the Lord has done this year as a result of those three months. The awesome outpouring that is taking place in Seattle that God graciously let us be a part of, to the tremendous miracle reports we are receiving from people that have attended meetings in America this year. God is doing mighty things, but we believe this is just the beginning!

The realm of visions and prophecy is a place of seeing and knowing in order to create God’s desire in the earth. However, the Bible is very clear that often times we are only shown in part and therefore prophesy in part. I believe that what takes place is the Prophet does his part and God does his part and it creates a whole, a whole new world. The place of visions is an environment of mystery where you are left to decipher and interpret a symbolic language that, if the prophet was to be completely transparent, he often doesn’t fully know everything the Lord is showing him in the place of interpretation. The prophet’s only desire should be to yield as an oracle and as God’s prophetic mouth piece in the earth release a ‘thus says the Lord’. Just like the Prophet Habakkuk says,

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Habakkuk 2:1-3).

I’ve at times found myself in this place of prophesying in a meeting and afterwards thinking I fully understood what God was saying in the spirit only to come to the conclusion many months later that God was speaking on multiple levels that my natural brain couldn’t fully comprehend. I have watched over the years as the word came to pass in ways that even caught me by surprise. To me, prophecy has been like pieces of a puzzle placed together to reveal the bigger picture of God’s magnificent plan for the nations.

I’ve been cautious over the years to never give my personal opinion about politics. In fact, I try to avoid the conversation concerning any world politics because frankly I believe personal opinion doesn’t matter in world affairs, the only thing that matters are what the Lord speaks and the prophetic word shifts the natural world. I’ve only spoken when it was directed from a ‘thus says the Lord’. Last year while we were ministering in the United Kingdom the Lord gave me two specific visions about future events. The first was a vision of a terrorist attack attempt on London that I saw during a meeting in Norwich at a Heartbeat gathering. This vision was very self-explanatory and we knew as believers exactly what we must do. We prayed and as many remember several weeks later in June of 2015 there was a massive terrorist attack that was stopped.

The second was a vision and prophetic word that had deep symbolism and multiple layers of revelatory insight both naturally and spiritually for the future. The vision was concerning the United Kingdom and America and also was first given in Norwich at a Heartbeat meeting. It was a vision of revival, awakening and freedom first coming to the UK and as a result it would come to America. The word was,

“The Lion must roar before the Eagle can fly!”

I was shown in a vision a lion and an eagle. I then saw as the lion roared the eagle took flight. The lion spoke to me of Great Britain and the roar of the Lord over the land, a roar of freedom and revival. The eagle taking flight spoke to me of America and her receiving freedom and awakening as a result of what would take place in Great Britain. I released this word and later spoke to Alan Goldstone and David Cairns, leadership of the Heartbeat Team we had been working with, about it. We all felt it was a significant word for the United Kingdom and America that the two were interlocked for a great awakening and until the United Kingdom was awakened America could not see another great outpouring.

I also believe that this word was tied into the recent vote for Great Britain to leave the European Union and is a direct fulfillment of this prophetic word spoken last year. It is a trigger point in the natural for what God is doing spiritually for The United Kingdom. I believe Great Britain and America are on a prophetic timeline that is leading to a massive outpouring of the spirit once again. All the signs are lighting the way and the recent developments only make the picture become more clear, revival is near! When we study out the history of revival in the earth over the past several centuries, we can almost single-handedly point to the United Kingdom as a major hot spot and catalyst for what the Holy Spirit was doing at that time. Almost every major shift of reformation or revival started on these Island Nations.

Whether we are discussing the First and Second Great Awakenings, or go further back and discuss the mystics and catholic miracle workers that walked the shores of England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales – God has always seemed to release the fresh movement of the Holy Spirit on these Islands that has gone on to affect the entire earth. My love for Church history and the moves of the Spirit caused me to recognize that what took place within these nations directly affected America and the move of the Spirit in my nation. Although we are an ocean away, we are connected in the realm of the Spirit, and as the song of Heaven would arise over the UK, it would carry all the way to the shores of America and revival would begin to come forth in these United States.

Over the past several years we have been traveling into the UK to minister, our greatest hope and prayer has been that God would once again ignite these Islands with the wild-fire of Heaven. From the moment that I first stepped into a meeting in the nation of Wales back in 2010, I could feel something fresh was being birthed in the Spirit, something organic, something that would turn the world upside down! Something massive has shifted, the lion is roaring and revival is coming.

The earth is shaking and God’s Kingdom is coming. I know many fear change and when it comes there is often turbulence that causes people to be uncertain about the future, but surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealed his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord hath spoken, who can but prophesy? I tell you in confidence not from someone who is speaking what God is saying after the fact, but from one that has seen before hand that God is setting both the United Kingdom and America up for another massive awakening. We are the generation that will not just see revival, but we are those who will decree it into existence as Sons and Daughters of the Kingdom of God.

I want to leave you with this, God has not given you a spirit of fear United Kingdom, but He has given you a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Great Britain your greatest days of Glory are upon you!

Rainbow over Westminster…

A most poignant reminder as we approach ‘The Shaking’ (Heb12:26) that we’re livimg in times Jesus prophesied as being like the ‘Days of Noah’ (Matt24:37)!

darrellgoodliffe's avatarThe Narrow Gate

westminsterI saw this picture on Twitter. The Guardian journalist that tweeted it seemed to think it was somehow symbolically significant and I agree it is. The Bible in Genesis tells us that the rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with Noah, that following the flood he would never again destroy the earth due to the wickedness of humanity:

And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generation: I will set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth [Genesis 9:12-14]

So, what is the message of this picture? The first one is to politicians at Westminster. God is in charge and none should get ideas above their station and the second is to God’s people in what is…

The Lord has cut the scorpion’s sting!

Thank you to Valerie Russell for permission to publish this most encouraging word from the Lord about His perspective of Britain and EU:

“I HAVE REMOVED THE STING FROM THE SCORPION’S TAIL!”

Once again, as in battles gone by, I have raised up My hidden army who have stood in the gap for the deliverance of Great Britain! You trusted Me, and the words of My Prophets. You laid aside all of your own natural reasoning and worldly consequences of Exiting the European Union. Because you have exited from this ungodly Union, the onslaught that the enemy had intended to invade Christian Britain has been thwarted at this time, and in doing so you have made a way for My plans and purposes for this Great Nation to take effect, for you have now set in place My redemptive purpose for the destiny of this Great Nation as it is written in My book in heaven.

Look at what has happened from My viewpoint and see that I have a bigger plan. A plan for this Nation that will enable the redemption of other Nations. And Great Britain, you are not alone, have I not tied you to a Commonwealth?

The historic decision that the Nation has made has, in actual fact, started the process of weakening spiritual darkness and structures over Europe, and has cut strings of the demonic entangled web that the enemy has created in Europe.

I have put a plumb-line in the midst of you, and My plumb-line has revealed the nation’s failure, I built you true oh Great Britain, but you became corrupt. You aligned yourself with the Babylonian systems of this world.

However, I have been raising up and releasing spiritual reformers in readiness for the shaking of the Nations, and now, I will rebuild your structure according to My plumb-line. Christ Jesus is always the Chief Cornerstone, but it is imperative that you build the right solid foundations. Build ‘governmentally’, do not ignore My Apostles and Prophets that I have raised up for such a time as this, as they are foundational! My prophets hold ‘keys of knowledge’ that I give to them, they hold the keys as to ‘what’ to build that always carries My Prophetic Purpose, so don’t allow the religious spirits to shut the mouths of My Prophets. My Apostles carry wisdom and revelation on ‘how’ to build and advance what the prophets have revealed and released. So, work together oh Apostles and Prophets, there is so much more power and authority in your synergy, and listen carefully to Me, work with My Intercessors as this 3-fold cord cannot easily be broken. Is this not the pattern that I gave to Zerubbabel, Haggai, Zechariah, and Ezra when they rebuilt?

I have raised up, and am raising up even more so now Apostles and Prophets in every sphere of society. I am realigning and positioning, REALIGNING and POSITIONING! So please change your religious mind-sets and reasoning capacity that you thought that Apostles and Prophets were only meant for the Church.

Hear, O children, the instruction of Your Father, and pay attention, and be willing to learn, so that you may gain understanding and intelligent discernment. ‘Let your heart hold fast my words’; ‘trust in and rely confidently on Me with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding’.

And let me assure you oh Nation of Great Britain that although you have to go through sufferings and shakings because of times of instability, the next 5 months will not compare to what was to come upon you had you remained joined to this ungodly confederacy, because ‘I have now removed the sting from the scorpion’s tail’! Yes, ‘I have removed the sting from the scorpion’s tail’!

A prophetic perspective on UK & Brexit, Ireland, Europe, USA & China

Paul Barfett’s perspective published on facebook a week ago today, ‘coincides’ with my declaring ‘A New Day- UK’s Independence Day’ during polling yet against the odds and severe internet disconnection (as here): 

A PROPHETIC STATEMENT CONCERNING THE UK, IRELAND, USA AND CHINA

The UK and Brexit

Approximately eight years ago God spoke these words to me:

“I will remove the UK from Europe.”

At that time there was no likelihood of a referendum on European membership. God has shown me all my life that it never was his calling upon the UK to be yoked and submitted to European governmental authority. Additionally, God made it very clear to me that he could only use, and will use, the UK once again as a revivalist and sending nation after he had removed the UK from the EU.

During Brexit polling day afternoon, God confirmed to me that he was about to perform his word and remove the UK from the EU.

Why did God need to remove GB from Europe?

The EU does not structurally acknowledge God Almighty, therefore the UK could not remain under the covering and governance of an intentionally, Godless organisation if God was to use the UK again in an enormously powerful move of God, in these very last days. During 2015, at a gathering in London of Christians in Government, I prophesied to the leader of this group:

“God will tear down the Government of this nation and rebuild it.”

This is now exactly what will happen as the UK disentangles itself from many EU laws and restores the sovereignty of the UK as an independent nation.

Ireland

God has been telling me for many years that he will birth the revival of Europe in Ireland and that I am to continue ministering in Ireland until revival comes. Thereafter will come the revival of England and the rest of the UK, then continental Europe. Revival will come through the raising up of Worship Altars which involve the restoration of the Tabernacle of David and the restoration of holiness to worship.

The USA and China

God spoke to me in 2012 with these words:

“The USA had my word. The USA had everything. The USA has despised my word. I will do a mighty work in China.”

The understanding I got with this word was that part of the favour of God on the USA he will shift to China, in his timing. God has indicated that he will send me to many nations in five of the six continents and that he will use my revival ministry calling in both the USA & China where the Government of China will receive Prophet Paul.

The Post-Brexit Message to the UK

The majority of the UK establishment supported Remain which was directly opposed to the will, plan & purposes of God for the UK. Sadly far too many Christian leaders joined with Politicians and declared for Remain. Consequently many Christians are wrongly distraught at the Brexit outcome as a result of the misleading, false and flesh statements made by career, Christian leaders.

God now wants it to be known that HE has removed the UK from Europe, that HIS ways are higher than man’s ways and that the UK is in HIS hands.

The re-birthing of the UK as an independent, sovereign, self-governing nation will involve labour pains. However, in due time, the world will see that the nation God has used most throughout history, after Israel, for the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ will be used again in the most extensive way for his glory and for the final, end-time harvest of souls, in these very last days.

New Britain: spiritual rains have started in UK

Some prophetic material on the EU-Referendum needs to be noted. A scripture published by Simon Braker relates directly to Nathan Morris’ emphasis and call for ‘Rainmakers’ at last week’s Shake The Nations Legacy conference in Peterborough. (Nathan has been evangelising overseas for some years and felt led to return here. In arranging the event last year he wasn’t aware of its conjunction with national events – nor its coincidence with the conference city’s Heritage Weekend.)

Simon posted this on 6th June on facebook’s School of the Spirit Leicester:

Over the last few weeks I’ve had the account of the fist-sized cloud from 1 Kings 18 going round in my spirit:
I sense the Lord saying –
How big does the cloud need to be before my people will move?
Those who have ears hear!
The rains have began and will even increase but only for those who take to running with my Spirit, for in this season my coming will be manifest in your going!
As you go with what you have I will bring increase, for many have adopted what looks like a position of prayer but in truth it is a position of fear and hiding,
The harvest has already began the breakthrough has already started the first drops of rain have already began to fall and soften hard hearts,
Watch and see if I do not bless you in your going, the time of waiting is over, the time of harvest has started,
Now is your time,
For as confusion increases in the world I will break loose here in these lands,
Once again these lands will be restored to the missional apostolic mandate,
A fresh move of my Spirit has started it will be defined not through conferences and gatherings but through church planting and sending!

Personal Note:

During EU-Referendum week I repeatedly played ‘Let It Rain’, led by Kenny Peavy and band at Harvest Rock Church (part of which is below). This opens an hour and half of powerful, yet mostly impromptu, worship from Los Angles during the Lakeland Outpouring (2008).

Then on the morning of ‘Independence Day UK’ (23rd June) torrential rains hit southern and various parts of England!

Therefore, it was terrific to find that song featured even more dynamically in Peterborough last week during worship at Legacy 2016. Additionally, I was blessed by a better sense of how a recent personal vision is related to the harvest in the above prophetic word.

Most appropriately for leading into the EU-Referendum Kenny’s next song is “I Am Free!”, which isn’t listed in YouTube but join them petitioning the Lord to Purify My Heart (so I may see Your Face) which continues into Set me on Fire.  As the band burns for Him and plead Send Your Glory, Send Your Fire… they reverently worship Holy Holy is the Lord our God.
