Behold It’s A New Thing! Do You See it? – Veronika West

Published this morning by Veronika on Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook. This version’s text alone comes courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy: and I’m so pleased to learn of the Lord’s response to my frequent asking about when He’s going to take action against all persistent evil…

BEHOLD IT’S A NEW THING!

“DO YOU SEE IT?  NOW IT SPRINGS FORTH!  BEHOLD, IT’S A NEW THING!”

“Beloved, surely I have purposed — but man has despised!

I have set out My Plans — but many have resisted and rejected them!

Have I not said that My Ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts?

For My Ways and thoughts are higher than yours.

Listen! Take heed to My Words! I AM not a God Who changes His Mind or evolves with the times. I AM unchanging! I AM the same yesterday, today and forever!

Soon My Patience and My Understanding will run out, and those who have stood against Me will be swiftly and severely dealt with!

My Mercy proceeds Justice, but when the bowls of iniquity are full, suddenly and without warning — The Scales will tip and The Gavel of My Justice will fall, and the rebellious and stiff necked will be broken — and will never recover.

So, guard your heart! Do not lean on your own understanding. Do not jeer and mock at My Timing, or question My Ways, for You do not see the beginning from the end, and the end from the beginning, as I do.

You only see what is right in front of you, and so your knowledge is limited — and your understanding is lacking.

Watch! For My Governing Hand is always moving, shifting and rearranging, and resetting things in perfect order to ensure and guarantee that all things — all things — work together for the good of those who Love Me.

So, do not think or accuse Me of being deaf to your Call, or distant when you draw close.

I tell you now, live by Faith and not by your feelings that are ever fleeting, fickle and constantly unpredictable!

But cast down vain imaginations, and cast off questionings that bring doubt, unbelief and double mindedness, for I AM an ever present Help in times of trouble.

My Strong right hand is always outstretched towards you to Rescue and Redeem, Revive and Restore your life.

Beloved, be quick to Repent of your Pride and relinquish the need to be in control!

Why make Me wait and delay My Divine Deliverance and Wonder Working power to perform miracles in the midst of you, because you have chosen to rather explore and exhaust all other man made ideas and quick fix solutions?

When will you let go of human intellect and understanding, and Look to Me alone?

When will you abandon your will, in exchange for My Will and My Way?

For surely I tell you, as soon as you let go and Trust Me, you will see that I have already made provision, like the ram that was caught in the thicket. (Genesis 22:13)

There is Great Reward in store for those who will walk by Faith and in radical obedience to My Word!

My Redeemed Ones, be of good Courage and Pay attention to My Word. Do not think I AM unmindful of the fears, the frailties, and the weaknesses of the human heart, but know that I AM a God of Love and Discipline, Righteousness and Holiness.

Fools ignore instruction and are therefore Ignorant and blind and soon fall into a pit, but the wise listen and obey, and soon prosper and live in peace.

So, come close — for I AM a Consuming Fire!

Draw near to Me, and let the Burning Fires of My Glory ignite and divinely energise you, for My Fire will empower you to lay claim to all My Promises that are yours through Inheritance.

Let us Reign together in My Kingdom — for these are indeed Glory-filled days!

So, choose Me this day, and the Oil will never run dry, but you will be filled, fueled and burning brightly, and I shall make you a Sign and a Living Witness on the earth, of My Goodness and extraordinary Grace and Love to all who see you!

Look! For the Season has changed! Do you see it? Now it springs forth! Behold — it’s a new thing!”

Blessings to you all.

What to make of the Asbury Revival? — John Barber

What to make of the Asbury Revival? Part of my daily watchman routine is to check out the likes of Bitchute for news on what is going on in the world, which is often grim and foreboding, yet often culminates in new articles on my blog. Today, I came across this report: “Asbury Revival: Why […]  What to make of the Asbury Revival? — JRB Publications

John Barber brings a valuable observation and I’d add that, as long-in-the-tooth guys, our role is not only to act as Calebs for generation Z but also to stir our aged fellows who quench and grieve the Holy Spirit – even though being scripturally literate – about this new move’s immense importance > or else miss out and get ‘left behind’!

Whilst prepping a reprise of my mini-series on End-times Briefing I was getting nudged about the numerals of today’s date: UK sequence 22.2.23 – US sequence 2.22.23.

Then after blogging I checked emails and find this from Roger J in South Africa:

“Richard, the whole of this post is for you buddy. Sample text in italics, link below. Go gitt’em!

“In 2000, while preparing for a cross-country flight, I happened to notice that my departure time was 2:22. I was then seated in row 22, and the total flight time was 2 hours and 22 minutes. My first thought was what a strange coincidence! Then I remembered that the Lord had been speaking to me regarding Isaiah 22:22. “I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens, no one will shut, when he shuts, no one will open.” I knew that in Scripture, keys symbolized authority, and that shoulders symbolize government (see Isaiah 9:6). Would God do something like this to bring me a confirmation? I wondered.

A couple of days later, I received a phone call from a friend. While in prayer, he felt prompted to call and give me Isaiah 22:22. He said, “Dutch, God is giving you a higher level of authority to pray for our government.”

Is Smith-Wigglesworth’s vision of UK in revival about to be fulfilled?

Posted on by

IS SMITH WIGGLESWORTH’s VISION, AND 50 YEARS LATER TO HIS PRAYER PARTNER, OF BRITAIN IN FULL REVIVAL FIRE ABOUT TO BE FULFILLED?

After awaking on Sunday I was reminded of the undermentioned personal event in 1997 and recalled the format of morning’s 3Counties Vineyard service is an ‘Open Morning’.

So I asked the Lord if I’m to mention this, and if so then I need clear indicators to do so. First, know that the service’s focus was upon ‘feasting and joy’, and that two ‘signs’ did come through what others brought to share:

  • One in some detail about revival from Andrew (beginning at 28 min of video) and referring to John Wimber as founder of the Vineyard movement (more later).
  • Another was brought during the unrecorded, offline period with reference to a way of reading scripture and hearing Holy Spirit speak upon 4 personally applicable points.
  • Note, that one of the moves prophesied by Smith-Wigglesworth refers to the Word and Spirit coming together and a few years ago when visiting a baptist church we were told by its powerfully prophetical pastor that the Baptist Union has come to recognise that duality as an important principle.

Therefore, it was clear I was to speak and my very condensed version of the following taken from an old email, as linked below, was received with delight:

‘At a prayer for revival meeting in 1997 on the anniversary of the Welsh revival, I had the privilege of meeting 80 years old Rev Norman James, who’d been prayer partner of the renowned ‘apostle of faith’, Smith Wigglesworth.

When this small group stood in a close circle to pray, Norman was less than a yard right in front of me. As he was quite short my eyes opened to gaze fully into his face and I couldn’t help but notice his eyes alight with excitement. A HUGE, beaming smile – he was radiant!

Norman could hardly speak, save to whisper, “I’ve just seen what Wigglesworth saw – Britain in revival, on fire for the Lord!”

Ever so briefly he explained that in Wigglesworth’s 88th year the Lord had given him a vision of a future revival in Britain. He knew it would happen decades ahead but he so desperately desired to see such days. Thus Norman confided, “No wonder he wanted the Lord to keep him alive!“. But he couldn’t find the words to describe its wonder!’

End-Times Briefing 6: New Ager sees first pieces of God’s ‘jigsaw’

How a New Age follower got hooked into the Bible’s prophecies.

A unique take from die-hard anti-Christian confronted by facts in non-Christian book!

As an ex-unbeliever rescued by Jesus Christ in person and ‘born-again’ by Holy Spirit into life everlasting through His sinless blood, I reiterate Chuck Missler’s concern:

“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”

The aim of these Briefings is to help my readers be better informed and thus grasp that truth. If an ardently anti-church guy deeply involved in New Age teachings, who viewed ‘Bible-bashers’ as bigots, could grasp and keep hold of this mind-blowing stuff, then how much easier is it for believers in Jesus to fully appreciate these things?

So, come on a revelatory journey with me that hints at the relevance of Bible ‘coding’: Continue reading →

This post, one of my first blogs in November 2011, later featured on the Home page to inform visitors of the acceleration of prophetic fulfillment, as may be inferred from the links to confirmatory events two years later:

As you may have gathered from my Welcome, I’m into eschatology – the theological study of the destiny and judgement of nations and all people, even angels!  It’s about  ‘The Last Days’, as in the ancient Torah’s description: Acharit Hayamin, ie. ‘Last of the Years’, and were regarded as the years immediately following Jesus’ ministry. They’re more popularly known in Christian circles as the ‘End-times’.

End-Times Briefing 3: the ‘What?’ of Watching > Signs!

So far we’ve considered the Who, Why and When we’re to watch. Now to the rationale of this blog, as stated in its title’s strap-line, ‘Looking for the signs of Jesus’ return’ and we examine what Jesus told us to look out for:

WHAT?

Omitting those which apply to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, here’s a selection of signs stated in the first Gospel (Mark 13), augmented by Matthew (chapter 24) and Luke (chapters 17 & 21) plus insertion of Paul’s first and follow-up letters to believers in Salonika, to whom he stressed the origin of his teaching; ‘For this we say to you by the word of the Lord…’ Continue reading →

[Reprise of mini-series published June 2020]
In view of current events it’s time to reconsider the End-times foretold in the Holy Bible with a series of very brief overviews, followed by others’ recent insights.

First, we revisit the mini-series published in February 2018 and lodged in the main menu for reference purposes. It was preceded by a couple of re-blogs referring to one of eight possible eschatological scenarios – a pre-Tribulation Rapture – and, together with a theological blog’s discussion, I was prompted to expand upon one of this blog’s earliest entries – ‘Why Watch?’

Now, let’s quickly consider the ‘Who, Why, When and What’ of our watching: Continue reading →

Prophecies fulfilled – Biden surrenders US sovereignty to China’s surrogate

Posted on by

In January 2021 with the ceremonially incomplete ‘inauguration’ of Joe Biden I blogged two directly relevant posts that continue to be proven accurate, viz (click titles to read in full):

‘Two President’ prophecy coming to pass. Can dis-United States of America be trustworthy ally and keep its place as global leader?

Kim Clement prophecy on China vs USA comes to pass…betrayal?

That logical question of betrayal is now proven accurate as ‘China Joe’ is about to hand over the authority of looking after American citizens’ health to a foreign power, a surrogate or client entity of China, thus proving not only Donald Trump’s statement of being a wartime president, but also the prophetic word brought by Kim Clement in April 2014, as both being true:

Also, TGP’s investigations into Biden regime’s complicity is another example of the prophecy of the exposures of political rot and corruption.

So I share to and comment on my Facebook, as follows:

My 8 years-old blog is below, wherein I transcribe the prophecy given after I’d already perceived a wall of fire across the front of the low platform and thereby separating him and Dr Stone from the delegates:

“… sir, you have hand up, right there. Stand up!”  [it’s me!]

Dale Mast credit Branchmill PhotoGalleryDale delivered a prophetic word from the Lord about Joshua and Caleb’s faith outlasting 40 years of doubt, to see what it was they’d believed come to pass. This relates to a dream that God delayed but which will come to pass for me. That’s really intriguing because another 15 years would pass before I became a believer – but 40 years ago my ‘dream’ was to find the real truth….

PPS to Revival Watch – personal testimony by Pete Greig

Posted on by

UPDATE on PS on MSM coverage: click to play Tucker Carlson’s report.

PERSONAL TESTIMONY through Pete Greig (Facebook) posted  22 hours ago – of course LOL ! (my birthdate)::

‘The reports coming in privately from those on the ground and behind the scenes at Asbury are.. encouraging. Something sovereign does appear to be unfolding and there are seasoned leaders – neither famous nor naive – quietly minimising the hype and maintaining the focus on Jesus.

You won’t find a more trustworthy source, for example, than my friend J D Walt (pic). J D was for many years the Asbury chaplain. He knows the place like the back of his hand having sowed in tears with rare zeal, yearning and longing for something like this to take place.

“Here is the most compelling evidence of authenticity for me,” writes JD. “The first picture (below) depicts the chapel immediately after the usual chapel service last Wednesday. Nothing impressive. Just another day. But then students for unknown reasons other than the hand of God began to come back to the chapel. They asked their professors if they could return— uncharacteristic to say the least—- and within a few hours it was… the second picture below.

“It hasn’t stopped since then— 24-7. People are coming here from all over the country and world. Last night we opened up four overflow buildings and all were packed. Student groups from many campuses are here.

“It is clearly an outpouring of the Spirit but beyond that we are reticent to call it anything else. History can define it as it will. It is extraordinary and yet nothing new. Many of us have seen and experienced all that is happening here elsewhere. And yet none of us really have been in this kind of sustained move.

“The hunger of people coming from everywhere is enormous. It is characterized by exuberant worship— empowered by the Spirit— led by students, no production whatsoever—- no screens or words projected—seemingly no song lists— they sing until the Spirit seems to give another song. There is a lot of prayer being led all over the house, there are testimonies given throughout the day. It is the holy love of God rising like a tide and rolling like waves.

“Jesus is the only celebrity here. No one even remotely considers the names of anyone in leadership here. They are not unseasoned just unknown. Incredible humility characterizes this whole move. This has been enormously disruptive to the life of the school but no one seems to care. There is a vigilance of love supporting these students.”

All students and student leaders are invited to join me, Sarah Breuel, JD Walt and students from Asbury at 7pm (GMT) today. Sign up for your zoom link here: https://www.24-7prayer.com/revive-student-conference

On Tuesday Pete writes (Facebook format):

‘Having preached here in Kentucky’s Asbury chapel, where I had the privilege of leading hundreds of students in prayer late into the night, I am thrilled to hear the credible reports of a significant new work of the Spirit breaking out there over these last six days, and now beginning to spread to other universities.
I am particularly grateful to those who seem to be stewarding this humbly, wisely and well. (Some of them will be joining me tomorrow night for a time of impartation at an online seminar organised by Revive Europe and 24-7 Prayer)
Let me also say that I understand the cautious questions being asked in some quarters. These are natural and sensible.
But after a quarter century thinking and praying about such things, and with much on my heart, for now I simply want to say just two things:
Firstly, as has often been said, when it comes to reports of revival I would far rather be gullible than cynical. As Gamaliel said to the Sanhedrin: “If this teaching or movement is merely human it will collapse of its own accord. But if it should be from God, you cannot defeat them, and you might actually find yourselves to be fighting against God!” (Acts 5:38-39, J.B. Phillips)
Secondly, we need this. What’s happening at Asbury is not everything but it is something and right now we need something to shock the system so that this generation can experience for themselves the life-changing power of God. We need repentance and holiness. We need the kind of outpouring of the Spirit on campuses that can incubate and detonate a new generation to preach the gospel with greater confidence, fight injustice with greater defiance, and transform society with greater intelligence.
Beyond human programs, products and personalities, we need God’s power, presence and perspective. In other words we need a sovereign inbreaking of the Holy Spirit.
America was built on such awakenings. The UK was saved by them. And they always, always, always begin in precisely this way: with seasons of concerted prayer.
C’mon! 🔥
