Wowee, Wotta Weekend of ‘God-incidental’ prophecies and worship!

You may have seen brief passing references on my Facebook and Telegram to what I ‘God-incidentally’ witnessed last weekend, and then some more confirmation came that reminded me of the open vision of Britain I had 22 years ago – OH, my birthday number turns up yet again (I should have kept count of its occurrences of items popping into my view, either in timings or number of shown likes/comments captured in screenshots).

So my friends, kindly bear with this being a personal journal and I trust you’ll concur with the content of this mini-series. (For brevity’s sake am omitting a pre-waking dream that  I came to understand as the morning progressed.)

During the hour’s journey to Saturday morning’s Prophetic Peoples’ Forum at Waypoint Church, Titchfield Common, Fareham I played a non-stop forty minute spontaneous soaking worship CD – Deeper Still – which focuses around one special song. [Coloured lyrics shown for a particular reason]:

Track 3 – HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD

Alberto Rivera plays melodic rhythm and directs his wife Kimberly and Laura Rhinehart in singing to Jesus before the hymn and on into Holy Spirit worship, including tongues.

What’s more, it may have been of help in driving after I took a wrong, early turn off M27 west of Portsmouth. I’d only been once before to this church outside Fareham and don’t use satnav because I don’t like my concentration to be distracted from the road situation ahead.

Having been at ease with maps and navigation since a boy, I first check Google Maps before a journey. So, after not recognising the short dual-carriageway of M27 I followed signs to Southampton and enjoyed exploring a new route. About quarter of an hour later I pass a side-road’s name I recognised and realised I should do a U-turn to take it and at its far-end junction turn left to the nearby the church.

PROPHECY FORUM – “WAKE UP!”

Ten minutes later Mark Iles opened the meeting and as we did not have a worship leader he spoke a psalm over us to begin in worship.

I was awestruck for it echoed and thus continued what I’d heard during my journey!

WORSHIP – PSALM 104

“Praise the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.

The LORD wraps Himself in light as with a garment, He stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of His upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
He makes angels his messengers, flames of fire his servants….”

Mark’s message entitled Understanding the Signs of the Times emphasised this is a ‘Wake Up’ call, as in my bullet-point notes:

• Signs not always End-times related eg Jesus’ sign of Jonah
• 1 Chron 12:32, Sons of Issachar – “WAKE UP!”
• Prophecy is about TODAY –
• Church is compromised and, like politicians, lost its way.
• Action NOT reaction necessary.
• 3 Ss > STAND-UP…..STEP-UP…..SPEAK-UP!!!
• ASSIGNMENT
• ALIGNMENT
• Matt 6 ..Seek first the Kingdom of God and all else will be added
• AUTHORITY in Christ using our spiritual giftings to the full
• 3 Cs > Calling…..Challenge…..Conflict!

Mark’s inspired talk was followed by prophetic ministry from the front by the team and then practised by delegates in small groups to hear about our own personal SEASON.

I was excited and pleased to have been so blessed, BUT little did I suspect yet more was to follow as though by way of Deuteronomy 19:15 confirmation and establishment of the truth of a matter.
