From Rotherham, Chris G Bennett almost simultaneously, and thus God-incidentally as a ‘global prophecy signal,’ CONFIRMS my thoughts upon being appalled when entering Winchester Cathedral after 11.00am yesterday, Tuesday 12th September.
Tuesday is market day in a nearby local East Hants’ town but Nina was interested in checking out a place where I’d walked whilst she was attending a choral workshop on Abba songs – they sounded splendid! After wandering alongside the River Itchen we went for coffee in the cathedral’s Visitors’ Centre and then strolled by the cathedral and I decided to see what I may be able to see inside.
Inside the main door the nave is roped-off to the right but ahead, down the northern side-aisle is a kiosk to pay for entry (worship times free). Pay to enter our ‘Father’s House’ – supposedly a haven for prayer! Whatever does Jesus think of this? I recalled His outrage and overturning money-changers’ tables in the Jerusalem Temple and looking into the nave I got the distinct feeling of it all being a ‘dead’ place! So a minute after entering I walked out!!
AN hour later, we returned for lunch and after having finished were pleasantly surprised by Nina’s daughter turning up during a school visit. As the two of them queued at the servery I got nudged to turn my phone on to check for any reaction to Verse for Today Phil 4:4 but up popped the above image from Chris Bennett that he’d posted an hour earlier.
It speaks right into and expands upon my impression inside the Cathedral. Here’s His Kingdom Prophecy version:
Last night, as He has done recently, The LORD came to me with both Words and Vision.
As a friend heard — and I subsequently also heard — “I want My House back!”
It was loud — it was firm — The LORD was obviously not looking for a discussion. Rather, like a General addressing the Troops, He was giving us His Agenda — and expected results!
Then this morning, I heard, this time just by me, “I AM taking My Church by storm!”
This is a slightly unusual thing to hear, so I pressed in for more. Here is what I heard and saw last night and today.
When Jesus cleared the temple, in John 2:13-17, He spoke about His Father’s House being a ‘House of Prayer and a den of thieves’, and He took The House back by storm — using nothing but a His Authority and a whip!
I saw a great shaking coming upon the modern Temple, The Church, and I saw The LORD taking His House back — by storm.
Church, there is a new storm coming — it’s ‘clean up time’ and The LORD is bringing a new ‘whip’ with which He will clear the sin from His House!
No more will ‘commerce’ exist within The Church.
No longer will it be a place of entertainment!
The Church shall be what it was always intended to be — a Holy House — a place where The LORD is revered and respected rather than a place of community and fellowship where God is coincidental to the business model it has devolved into!
Prayer has always been the ‘engine room’ of The Church, but it has always been a ‘weak, two stroke lawn mower engine where a powerful V8 tractor engine is needed’.
Incidentally, this explains much about the condition of The Church in these times!
No longer!
The LORD is planting seeds of Love —The Love of Prayer — back in His Church!
There will be an urgency to start 24/7 prayer rooms where people can come to pray and where, usually, a prayer team is always on duty.
I see daily intercessor groups’ Prayer Meetings being raised in importance, making a place for God’s Glory to manifest, and I see us carrying The Glory from the Prayer Meeting into every Service or Meeting!
Daily church-life will equate to our daily lives — even young families will have or find the time for prayer together.
In short, I see The Church coming to its knees to worship The LORD — in Prayer!
Yes, PRAYER IS WORSHIP, and everyone will join in the soaking/ worship/ listening to God for His “Word for the Day”!
I see His Presence bringing Healing, Prophecy and Encouragement on a scale never before experienced by The Church, as The LORD cleans it, sifts it, and prepares it first for revival, then as His Bride.
It’s Glorious!!!
I Love it, and I, for one, cannot wait to be used as part of The LORD’s end-time Remnant Church.
Oh HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH \o/
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” John 2:13-17

Richard's Watch 
Richard do you recall my dream from April of 2020?
A few nights ago I had a dream where I saw what looked like a massive tornado. Normally when one sees videos of tornadoes and the subsequent aftermath they leave usually nothing escapes its fury. However, this was not the case in this present dream. In this dream I saw inside the tornado’s vortex and it was only church buildings that I saw and they were being smashed one against another. When I saw the aftermath, nothing representing a church was seen.

And this one concerning England’s churches from 2019?
As I was praying this morning I once again was shown England. This time however, I saw what we would call in the states a tornado. This was a whirlwind that had both direction and purpose. I watched as the whirlwind would pass by a church and the church literally would be sucked into the whirlwind leaving the foundation exposed. This was repeated many times. This to me is reminiscent of Ezekiel prophesying in chapter 13 about the Lord tearing down the wall and exposing its foundation.
I’ve seen a similar thing in a dream regarding American churches.

“Fascinating confirmation. Thank you Richard. I actually have great witness with Tony’s vision/dream, and with Ezekiel 13 too. Something big is about to break – both sides of the pond but UK in particular! I keep hearing “revelation”. We wait with expectancy!”

Some of these big churches and cathedrals are beautiful works of architecture, but ultimately, they are buildings built with stone and mortar. Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost. When we are delivered of the demons in our body and soul, then the Fire of the Holy Ghost will burn more brightly in our body. We will then be a more powerful Light for the rest of mankind.
I Corinthians 6:19: “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
“Entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy.”
― Leonard Ravenhill
“Religious entertainment has so corrupted the Church of Christ that millions don’t know that it’s a heresy. Millions of evangelicals throughout the world have devoted themselves to religious entertainment. They don’t know that it’s as much heresy, as the counting of beads or the splashing of holy water or something else. To expose this, of course, raises a storm of angry protest among the people.”
–A.W. Tozer
“The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.”

I’m reminded of the Apostles showing Jesus how beautiful the temple was and He answering said that there wouldn’t be one stone left on another.

Although I’d find it difficult to argue in favour of the commercialisation of the church even if I wanted to, in fairness to Winchester Cathedral they did (when I went there a few years ago) have a sign up saying that if you wanted to pray you could just come straight in. They had a specific chapel set aside for that purpose, and when I jumped the queue and just talked to the lady on the door she was all smiles and pointed me the way. So while it’s far from good at least it could be worse!

There was a welcoming hostess but was engaged with another lady and let her through into the nave. But I wanted to check in view of what I’d sensed a few months ago when Nina was in one of the choirs in a service for the city being a sanctuary for Ukranian refugees. There just wasn’t proper respect for its purpose as a holy place. It’s exacerbated by folk no longer being of or respecting the faith.

I had a dream/vision 12/31/2014. I could not think of any other name for this dream but what I wrote. In the dream I was standing before the Lord and there was a man or angel standing beside Him. The man and/or angel had a basket in his hand with many scrolls in it. He began taking the scrolls out of the basket and placing them in my mouth for me to eat. This is not usually the norm from what I have read in scripture being that the scroll is usually given to the individual and he/she puts it in their mouths. I found out the reason why was because I looked at my hands and they were dirty and therefore I could not have handled the scrolls with them. I then had 2 large pieces of burning coals placed in both hands and then I was told, “go”. In the next part of this dream I was standing in front of a church building and I saw a person, presumably me, standing in front of the church building with a scroll unfolded and I was speaking to the building. I then saw 2 hands grasp the building on either side of it, lift it off of its foundation, and turn the building sideways so that the doors of the building would naturally swing open. I then saw these hands begin to shake the building called church like one would shake a piggy bank when there was money in it that they could not get out except in this instance, I saw people falling out. It is interesting to note that when the building called church was lifted up by these 2 hands, the foundation was exposed for all to see. I do not suppose that those shaken out of the building would be returning to it again.
It is interesting that I would have such a dream on the last day of the year of 2014
I am adding to this posting a vision I saw this morning.
I again saw scrolls only this time I was holding them in my arms. There were so many of them I couldn’t hold them all.
Richard this is a dream I had on December 31, 2014. I think it goes along with the theme of your posting. I’m not sure if you remember the posting.
