Update 2: “Nets and Lines” prophecy of online harvest of souls

Posted on Monday, 15 February, 2016 by Richard Barker

At the weekend’s conference Awake – Partnering with the Awakening, Emma Stark of Glasgow Prophetic Centre presented the statistics of how many people are actually enquiring over the internet about the Good News of Jesus Christ, as shown below:

I was reminded of the prophetic word pastor John Kilpatrick received from the Lord that He will powerfully use the internet “without edit” to demonstrate and broadcast miraculous signs and wonders, thereby reaping a massive harvest of souls.

Many are aware of TV satellite stations broadcasting the gospel globally. Also, since 2004 digital technology has been used by IT professionals and businessmen to reach out and teach online, as below (if illegible, click About and scroll to foot of screen):

It’s all about the greatest story ever told, and as Jesus said to His first disciples:

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the Age”. (Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV)

And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. (Mark 16:20 NKJV)

The most momentous world-changing events in 2,000 years? (#2)

Posted on Tuesday, 9 February, 2016 by Richard Barker

After a short but relevant digression let’s continue my report on Clifford Hill’s editorial on the reconciliation between Orthodox Judaism and Catholicism by looking at the other possible world-changing event I alluded to when summing up Five Spiritual Trends. This one came to my attention on New Year’s Eve thanks to Anne Kelly, but matters delayed my coverage until Dr Hill’s item:

Arieol Cohen Alloro with Canon Andrew White, courtesy Facing Each Other http://www.facingeachother.com/

Ariel Cohen Alloro with Canon Andrew White, courtesy Facing Each Other (Facebook)

‘Vicar of Baghdad’ Canon Andrew White reports on 29th Dec on Facebook that,

‘Orthodox Rabbi Cohen believes Jesus is coming soon, he keeps stressing he is in no way a messianic Jew. He is very Kabbalistic though. All he presents is very complex. With my Jewish understanding hat on I can’t accept this but without my kippa on …………..’

They met on 14th December in King David Hotel, Jerusalem, and recorded a 7 minutes video (rabbi’s voice is very soft and we notice a slight effect of MS in the canon’s louder tone). YouTube notes: ‘Ariel Cohen Alloro is introducing Canon Andrew White to his Jewish Orthodox historical challenge to legally return Yeshua to Israel, back to the Jewish establishment and to reach authentic ideological reconciliation between Judaism and Christianity’.

According his website Facing Each Other, “Ariel is not an official Rabbi, but a dilligent student of one of the greatest Rabbis today, who mastered the discipline of his Teacher and brings us now his innovative work, an essential contribution for the redemption of Israel and the whole world. This is an original initiative by Ariel Cohen Alloro who is an Orthodox Jewish Priest (Cohen) and it comes out of his personal discovery in the Torah and Chassidic Judaism.”

Furthermore it claims, “The Message of Ariel Cohen Alloro is perfectly balanced between Judaism and Christianity and is using the proper tools to create unity among all believers in a Messianic redemption of the world.

“When you listen to Ariel, please bear in mind that every statement he makes is in perfect harmony with traditional Judaism and yet it fits the concepts of traditional Christianity too in an unusual way, a way that Jewish mind can absorb and Christian mind can fathom. It is a phenomena how Tree of Joseph (Christianity) and Tree of Judah perfectly unite and become one Tree….”

A brief video of their later meeting provides a useful summation for Andrew stresses in introducing his friend that,

“What rabbi Cohen is insistent upon is that Jesus has a role in returning to the real Israel – NOT some theoretical Israel in the sky! – but Israel here and now.”

Be discerningly blessed as you listen and investigate. In part 3 we will briefly recap upon developments as well as consider a Messianic standpoint.

Brief ‘Bio’:

Mentioned occasionally on this blog, this will introduce overseas and newer readers to Canon Andrew White, Vicar of St. George’s Church in Baghdad and president of The Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East. Andrew works to provide spiritual home, medical care and humanitarian relief to the region while promoting reconciliation among Christians, Jews and Muslims in the most dangerous areas of the world.

Before his 15 years in Baghdad, he served as a mediator between Israel and Palestinians and rose to prominence in the Siege of the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem. Personal contacts with Yasser Arafat and Israeli PM Ariel Sharon resulted in their joint approval to a draft declaration against violence in the name of religion. This was put to religious leaders of all three Holy Land faiths. Through exhausting discussions agreement was reached but the only difficulties came from Christians(!!), who “often feel they have to be even more Palestinian than the Muslims, to show how committed they are to the cause”, on top of “rivalries and tensions between different denominations”!!

The outcome in January 2002 was ‘The Alexandria Declaration’, from which many other initiatives have arisen despite continual violence. Andrew writes, “The sticking points were not theological but political”. (See Encouraging news from Iraq.)

Is this my exploding Bible’s 1,000th ‘piece’?

Posted on Monday, 8 February, 2016 by Richard Barker

This month is the 7th anniversary of when my Bible exploded upon opening it!

In connection with a controversy over an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in 2008 in Lakeland, Florida, I’d encountered two conflicting claims about Jesus’ explanation of the parable on the end-time harvest of wheat and tares (Matthew 13:36).

So I went to check that scripture but, upon opening my Bible, I was hit by a deep excitement EXPLODING WITHIN as I heard,

“This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”

I informed some friends and church leaders by email, reminded them about my earlier remarks on a sifting of the Church – and that Jesus had urged His disciples to look out for signs of the times (see The Endgame is now in play). On their questions about His return at the end of this Age, I noted Jesus stressing 7 times, “Watch…be alert…on your guard“ (Mark 13).

That was the start of my regularly writing about these matters. Just a few months later that decision was confirmed by a visiting prophet, and after a couple of years I went public with this blog in Nov 2011. (Sept 2011 was a turning point in UK according to Bill Johnson – as herein.)

Last Thursday I’d almost finished the previous post and, unusually, was able to dash it off on Saturday and continue with our weekend. But I spotted something! I don’t often look at the list of posts from WordPress’ working area or ‘desktop’ but I clicked from there into the listing and saw that post was the 960th of published posts. Now I knew the blog’s menu has 60 static pages, and realised this latest makes a COMBINED TOTAL of 1,000.

Is it ‘coincidence’ that The most momentous world-changing events in 2,000 years? is the ‘1,000th piece’ on this blog? Or is it a ‘God-incidence’ confirming that the subject is especially significant in the Lord’s plans??

Most extraordinary, but it had to wait ’til I was back at my desk this morning. AND look at today’s Lion Bite “Suddenly I acted” >

“I have spoken and now I am acting. My word has gone forth and now I am fulfilling”, declares the Lord.

The detail of that prophetic word mirrors what pastor John Kilpatrick taught yesterday at CHP in USA about the importance and power of retelling testimonials of what the Lord has done, not only in scripture but in our own lives too.

AND more specifically, it reiterates detail of what his son, assistant pastor John Michael, shared about hearing the audible voice of the Lord, “speaking like an Englishman”

“Put Me into the middle of the wilderness you’re in”.

The Lion Bite has it: ‘…the Spirit of the Lord says that this is the day that He begins to manifest into your midst that which He has spoken…’

MOREOVER, along with that daily ‘Bite’ comes news of another prophetic word received yesterday that’s relevant to this post. It also includes an appropriate prayer for us:

“I pray that revelation will just explode in you about this!” AMEN

LOL! And I was going to wait for the 7th anniversary of that first email on 28th February – good job I didn’t, methinks.

The most momentous world-changing events in 2,000 years? (#1)

Posted on Saturday, 6 February, 2016 by Richard Barker

In his ProphecyTodayUK editorial ‘Turning The World Upside-Down’ Clifford Hill writes,

“We live in momentous times! Everything is being shaken …everything is changing at an ever-increasing speed! …Every day something new happens that causes us to change our thinking and re-assess what we had considered immutable, unchangeable, everlasting.”

The reverend doctor has in mind one of the events I alluded to as the 6th world-changing spiritual trend of 2016, additional to those Rick Joyner noticed (here). Both events indicate a significant trend of great Biblical and prophetical importance. One was drawn to my attention over the recent New Year, but let’s consider Clifford Hill’s editorial first.

He refers to a statement made a couple of months ago by “a group of 25 Orthodox rabbis that attracted very little attention in the media but which may prove to be an event that changes the course of world history“ (emphasis added).

Instrumental in this event is the Centre for Jewish-Christian Understanding & Cooperation. The CJCUC demonstrated its deep committment to dialogue and theological exchange since 2008 when it invited Christians to come and study the Hebrew Bible. In Who We Are reference is made to Christendom’s ungodly antagonism (which arose out of Jewish authorities’ persecution of early believers):

‘For the nearly 2,000 years of Jewish exile prior to the establishment of the Jewish State, persecution, pogrom and even bloodshed muted any possibility of dialogue, turning us into sworn enemies instead of national partners.

‘But a sea change has occurred during these last several decades. Christians are sincerely trumpeting the call that G-d remains faithful to His initial covenant with Israel, and that the Biblical prophecy is continually being fulfilled through the people of Israel living in its covenanted land. Even the most desperate of times, during this last period, when Israel was forsaken by many of the Diaspora Jews, Christians continued to visit the Holy Land and comfort Zion and her people with prayer, offerings and sincere fellowship. This new reality is one of the great miracles of our times and calls for our faiths to foster friendship and mutual support.’ (Emphases RB)

Published on 3 December 2015 the Orthodox Rabbinic Statement on Christianity is entitled, ‘To Do the Will of Our Father in Heaven: Toward a Partnership between Jews and Christians’, which opens as follows:

‘After nearly two millennia of mutual hostility and alienation, we Orthodox Rabbis who lead communities, institutions and seminaries in Israel, the United States and Europe recognize the historic opportunity now before us. We seek to do the will of our Father in Heaven by accepting the hand offered to us by our Christian brothers and sisters…’

It makes for highly informative reading and should be read by all Christians. In recognising that the Church of Rome’s ‘official teachings on Judaism have changed fundamentally and irrevocably’, the Statement declares:

‘Now that the Catholic Church has acknowledged the eternal Covenant between G-d and Israel, we Jews can acknowledge the ongoing constructive validity of Christianity as our partner in world redemption, without any fear that this will be exploited for missionary purposes. As stated by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel’s Bilateral Commission with the Holy See under the leadership of Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen, “We are no longer enemies, but unequivocal partners in articulating the essential moral values for the survival and welfare of humanity”. Neither of us can achieve G-d’s mission in this world alone.’

[I flag the lack of relevance such a ‘dual covenant’ has for the Messianic movement.]

NEW ATTITUDE TO JESUS

Clifford Hill notes one of the Statement’s key points is in the Orthodox acknowledgement that Jesus upheld the centrality of the Torah, which was the original bone of contention brought against the Apostles by false witnesses (Acts 6:13-14). Clifford writes,

“In the Gospels there are many occasions when Jesus disputed with the Pharisees concerning their interpretation and practice of the Torah, but he always upheld the Torah as the unchangeable word of God. In the Statement from the Orthodox rabbis this is acknowledged in a momentous passage that unties 2,000 years of misunderstanding between Jews and Christians. The Statement affirms a declaration by 18^th Century German rabbi Jacob Emden:

‘Jesus brought a double goodness to the world. On the one hand he strengthened the Torah of Moses majestically, and not one of our sages spoke out more emphatically concerning the immutability of the Torah. On the other hand he removed idols from the nations’.“

HISTORIC TURNING POINT

The Statement now bears over 60 rabbi’s signatures and Clifford points out (emphases added),

“This is surely a notable miracle and could signal a turning point in the history of Jewish-Christian relations, as prophesied by the Apostle Paul in a letter to Christians in Ephesus. He said that the purpose of Jesus was to destroy the barrier between Jews and Gentiles. “His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace” (Eph 2.15).

CJCUC’s Academic Director endorses Dr Hill’s opinion by saying,

“This proclamation’s breakthrough is that influential Orthodox Rabbis across all centers of Jewish life have finally acknowledged that…Christianity and Judaism have much in common spiritually and practically. Given our toxic history, this is unprecedented in Orthodoxy.”

Another significant passage is on Jew’s and Christian’s ‘common covenantal mission to perfect the world under the sovereignty of the Almighty’. In the summary of Christian doctrine delivered in his letter to the church in Rome, St Paul saw a future when barriers between Gentiles and Jews would be broken and they’d powerfully be used by God in a spiritual unity of ‘One New Man’. This wouldn’t happen ‘until the full number of the Gentiles has come in’ (Rom 11:25), which Jesus prophesied will be when Jerusalem ceased being trampled upon by Gentiles (Luke 21:24).

REJECTION OF REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY

Clifford makes no bones about the falsity and damage done by this accursed theology in providing grounds for the Holocaust. And so this Statement from Orthodox rabbis brings a great opportunity for the Church:

“This is an historic time for Christians throughout the world to call upon church leaders to respond to this statement from Orthodox rabbis by humbly apologising for the false theology we have propagated for centuries. We should also be humbly confessing before God that we have dared to teach that he is not a covenant-keeping God who would never ever break his promises.” (Emphasis added)

He concludes by pointing out to Protestants that,

“Now is the time, while God is shaking the whole world, for Christians to recognise our responsibility for so many of the tragedies of history and to reach out in love and humility to our Jewish brothers and sisters. The Catholic Church has done this: surely Protestant Church leaders should do the same – reaching out in the name of Jesus the Jewish Messiah.”

Read Clifford’s full editorial > Turning the World Upside-Down.

The Statement has not been without reaction within Judaism and which has been given a most informative answer – read about the controversy here and CJCUC’s perspective here.

AN ‘ISRAEL REFORMATION’

Clifford’s call reiterates that of Dr Jurgen Buhler, Executive Director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, in his excellent exposition published in March 2015.

Jurgen writes in The Coming ‘Israel Reformation’ in The Church on ‘a major paradigm shift’ concerning Israel is taking place for Israel, and for the Church. He uses scripture to outline how the Church should relate to the Jewish people and the state of Israel, as under these topics:

remember your pagan past
acknowledge the Hebrew roots of your faith
appreciate the irrevocable calling over Israel
recognise your spiritual debt to Israel
expect the restoration of Israel.

Jurgen concludes,

‘In the New Testament, the Apostles affirm the enduring calling over Israel and strongly establish the hope of Israel’s restoration. This is demonstrated in the last question they posed to Jesus before his ascension: “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6) Paul also conveys this hope to the church in Rome: “For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:15) In other words, he maintains that the greatest calling and blessings still lays ahead for Israel. This means every church should embrace a theology of hope regarding Israel and support her full restoration.’

Next, we’ll look at the New Year’s news I received about an Orthodox priest speaking up for Jesus!…continue reading here.

IRAN: Will there be three kings and then a fourth?

Posted on Tuesday, 26 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Mark Davidson considers Daniel chapter 11 in his latest observations relating to the ‘Four Signposts’. Let’s thank the Lord, however, that He’s using the Iranian ‘king’ to enable millions of Iranian Muslims to question their faith and look to Jesus Christ (Dr Hormoz Shariat/Joel Rosenberg interview). To learn about the Four Signposts click summary.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS

“Now then, I tell you the truth: Three more kings will appear in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than the others.” Daniel 11:2, NIV

As I am writing this new book I keep running across several places where there are foreshadows prior to fulfillments and in other places fulfillments first and then “aftershadows.”

For example, Alexander the Great can be considered a foreshadow of the Turkish leader of the future Sunni Confederacy during the Third Signpost. We know fulfillment of the Daniel 8 goat is here in the end times because of Daniel 8:17, :19 and :26.

And then there are “aftershadows” as in Daniel 11:2. (I didn’t find a word that was to my satisfaction and so I am using “aftershadows.”) Indeed that verse was completely and to the letter fulfilled by the kings of Persia after Cyrus: Cambyses, Bardiya, Darius I, and…

Fulfilled prophecy (and answered prayers) #6 – families

Posted on Thursday, 21 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

More news of answers to prayers and prophesied fulfillment.:

First, and most dramatic, is news that Christian foster parents whose adopted sons were removed by social workers will have their case re-opened. They’re supported by Christian Legal Centre, extracts of whose report Court of Appeal: Boy’s removal from Christian parents to be scrutinised, read as follows:

‘When their case was heard last January (2015), the ‘Browns’ said the opinions of social workers were taken as truth by the judge (and they) exhibited no clear understanding of Christianity, and the Browns’ parenting methods were criticised. The primary reason the judge gave for refusing to return the children to their adoptive parents was that a psychologist’s report didn’t recommend the children’s return. (Christian Legal Centre’s CEO) Andrea Williams said:

“We have been unable to expose the gross injustice in this case because of the secrecy surrounding the family courts. This case is the tip of the iceberg. These wonderful parents have been greatly disrespected. The state seemed not to treat them as parents because they were adoptive parents.

“The objective evidence of the boys’ progress over years seems to have been dismissed. Such a flimsy rationale for the removal of children from a loving home is appalling.”

The foster-father commented that we’re not in Soviet Russia or North Korea and yet, “Objective evidence is not required in these courts. And this is Britain…The net effect is that, in this place we consider home…our boys can be taken…by the British state.” (See accompanying video.)

‘In May 2015 the Court of Appeal’s Lady Justice Black ruled there should be a review as to whether the judge at the Family Court had taken the right factors into account in deciding the boys’ future, and whether he had failed to give proper weight to the good parenting that had been given to the children for three years prior to their forced removal.

‘The parents’ appeal was heard on Tuesday morning at the Royal Courts of Justice and Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Simon have allowed the appeal and have ordered a retrial of the case.’

Read the full report here and readers may wish to consider supporting the CLC’s work – see Christian Concern.

This promising outcome and the timing of this legal appeal is not only directly related to prophetic words brought by Dr Sharon Stone for 2016 on appealing to the Sovereign Court of Heaven for our families (as at 2 herein) and by Jane Hamon at the close of Awakening, but also to an appropriately encouraging daily word from Glasgow Prophetic Centre.

Tuesday morning I received Christian Concern’s Prayer Alert on the appeal case and an hour later that day’s Lion Bite arrived from Glasgow – Now is the time! – which reads:

The Lord hears your prayers: “So long you have waited to see a change in your circumstances”. And He declares over your life that, “Now is the time!”

“As you have come to the end of your own strength and abilities, you have been tempted to think negatively. But know this, you are in exactly the place I desire for you to be so that you can experience the power which comes from my Spirit.”

Allow the Holy Spirit to take over and, by faith, place your trust in God and He will bring the miraculous into your situation. (Emphasis added)

Halleluia!

Secondly, at that Tuesday morning’s weekly service for healing at the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation we heard a lady tell of her unbelieving husband’s sudden, surprising wish to attend some church meetings with her!

Nina also testified to the return of our ‘prodigal daughter’, whose whereabouts were totally unknown, after 12 years (as recounted in Fulfilled prophecies 5).

Thirdly, during one of the now regular calls our daughter reported a wonderful change in her own daughter and restoration in their relationship as a result of getting back in touch with us. Our 23 years old grand-daughter’s so happy that all three generations are now in a proper family relationship.

Fourthly, one of our local friends reports that her sister and mother have at long last been reconciled.

Fifthly, after reading Fullfilled prophecies 5 Julie Barton commented about her sister and brother getting back in touch with their mother…

I recall reading of another a few months ago in Bristol area via Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival.

How many others?? MORE LORD!

Conclusion

Many prayers and words we hear from the Lord bring comfort during troubles and so often we also need to ask for patient faith over many years. SO it’s heart-warming and highly encouraging that recent prophetic words from several sources (eg. Sharon Stone, Patrick Schatzline, Lana Vawser and within John Kilpatrick’s 20 words – and last August from Val Williams & Aliss Cresswell) about the Lord taking widespread action to restore families are actually being fulfilled for believers in Jesus Christ.

Praise the Lord…

What’s the difference between Apocalyptic Islamic eschatology & Biblical eschatology? And why does it matter?

Click hereto read more about how God was using Pastor Saeed Abedini to preach the Gospel inside the worst prisons of Iran.

(Riverside, California) — Yesterday here in Southern California, I did a Q&A session and delivered a sermon on the differences between Apocalyptic Islamic eschatology (End Times theology) and Biblical eschatology.

I explained why this topic matters, and why it’s particularly important right now.

Millions of Muslims leaving Islam as they watch the extremism of Iranian & ISIS leaders, says a top Iranian Christian leader.

Posted on Thursday, 7 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Very timely in view of Dr Stone’s word from the Lord for 2016 (paras 5 D & E refer) as well as many earlier prophecies on this matter.

Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog

hormoz-joel-sept13 The violent, fanatical, and apocalyptic actions and rhetoric of the Iranian regime and the leadership of the Islamic State are causing millions of Muslimsto rethink whether they want to be part of such a religion, and many of them are turning to faith in Jesus Christ.

This is the assessment of Dr. Hormoz Shariat, a former Muslim who came to faith in Christ himself in the early 1980s. Today, Dr. Shariat is one of the the most prominent Iranian Christian pastors and evangelists in the world.

Last month, I had dinner with this dear friend, a man I call the “Billy Graham of Iran” because he is preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to millions upon millions of Iranians through his 24/7 Farsi satellite television network.

Dr Sharon Stone: 2016 Word of the Lord – “The momentum has shifted”

Posted on Thursday, 7 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

A prophetic word was brought by Dr Sharon Stone at a Christian International Europe conference on 5th December. I pray this transcript conveys the anointing of the spoken word as Sharon prophesies, teaches and points out practical applications, especially on the heavenly court.

By way of preface Sharon asks those gathered, “Why do you need to have a word of the Lord for this season that you’re in?”, and then answers her question.:

I believe it’s because it helps you to align with God so that you can make a difference in your world.

And that’s what all of our hearts’ desire is, but the problem is then: God’s idea of time often does not agree with our natural understanding of time. But remember this: He’s the One who made time and He made us to be aware of His timely plans.

I love what 1 Chronicles 12:32 speaks of: it says there was a tribe in Israel that knew the times and the seasons of God [‘sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel should do’]. Now Israel was always successful when they were compatible in opinion and action with God; to carry out His will, His way, in His time. Even though there were other nations who had more powerful armies and influential leaders, they could not compete with the edge of knowing what God had planned for the particular times.

Now, God is giving His children the ability of knowing His times and seasons, and not only that but also recognizing the signs of the times and correctly interpreting them. He wants you to have knowledge from Him of the course we need to take, precisely what needs to be done and how to do it.

So, when you and I choose to receive and apply God’s revelation, then we benefit from its counsel. This includes you, the church, government, leaders and those in business can all benefit when they have a timely word of the Lord and revelation to align with.

Now, when revelation is released in the spiritual realm (as today) the atmosphere begins to shift. And what happens there? The atmosphere begins to shift, it has a chain reaction causing changes in the natural realm to come to pass. And then, what seemed to be impossible before that is now possible, because God’s word is a creative word.

So, this 2016 Word of the Lord is about intentionally partnering with God’s will being done on earth as it is in Heaven. (Prays for delegates and herself to hear Him.)

1. The Voice of the Lord is a Force for a New Course!

I want to start with revelation concerning the prophets for this season probably because it’s so near and dear to my heart – I love raising up prophets:

In prophet Elijah’s day Jezebel obtained a throne of authority in God’s covenant land. Now Elijah also had a seat of authority, but his was not given by man but it was established by God. Prophet Elijah’s authority not only countered Jezebel’s advances but it realigned Israel with the Lord and it set a new course for the future.

So with the prophets, the voice of the Lord is a force for a new course!

Prophets must now align with each other for increased revelation to release a force for a new course, as it did in Elijah’s day. You may ask me how that works and I want you to look at Psalm 29 (reads verses 3-9 aloud) We read how the thundering voice of God is so powerful, the only thing everyone could say was “Glory!” There is a fresh revelation and power coming to prophetic people that’s going to cause the Church to be struck with awe – as they were then – the only exclamation they can make is “Glory, glory!”
A whole new prophetic velocity is being released. In this momentum more individuals are going to embrace the prophetic and be trained in hearing the voice of God than ever before because a whole new prophetic velocity is being released.
Time to Prophesy Resurrection. Even in the last season we were prophesying like prophet Ezekiel to the scattered dry bones – “Come together, come together”. It is switched in this season; God says it’s now time to prophesy resurrection to the valley of bones. What is that resurrection? In Ezekiel 37 verse 9 (reads aloud …lifeless bodies received resurrection, they stood up on their feet and became an exceeding great army). God is raising up prophets at this time because we’ve been speaking to the Church, “It’s time for dead bones to begin to connect and to come together”. Now God is saying “Listen, I am taking those things and the resurrection power of My Spirit is coming upon them that they might stand and be a great army”.
You see, God is calling His prophets to GLOBAL government influence and impact – so you have got to begin to prophesy that resurrection power. Prophets have to align with each other also during this time because we need the increased revelation for solutions in the earth!

2. The Sovereign Court is in Session

One of my main focal points for this session is Daniel chapter 7. I have just met with many different major prophets and there was a prophetic consensus. You don’t often get that, but when you do, how precious it is – but the consensus is this: Daniel 7 is now being fulfilled. I’ll read some scriptures but what I want you to take note of is: the Sovereign Court is in session (emphases added).

v 9 “I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire;
v10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: a thousand thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.” Did you hear that?…

The Judge of the universe has now seated Himself in readiness and the book of appeals and verdicts are opened for Sovereign decisions at this time. Where our lower courts have made bad decisions our only option is to appeal to a higher court – “The Sovereign Court” to overrule. Then all the lesser courts have to align with the highest court decrees.
You need to do this for your family – Job 5:8 reads; “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. He provides rain for the earth; He sends water on the countryside. The lowly He sets on high and those who mourn are lifted to safety” (NIV)
God wants us to appeal for our homes, He wants us to appeal for our Land!
YOU are someone that during this season God wants you to know that there’s going to be divine legislation for transformation – divine legislation for transformation!

3. Time to Possess the Kingdom

What else is currently being fulfilled out of Daniel chapter 7? The time is NOW to possess the Kingdom – it says in…

v 21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,
v 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.”

That time is NOW. Major prophets all over the world are going, “The time is now!” Now, to possess the Kingdom! We’ve been given the ability we didn’t have before – we’ve been given the “Ok”; we’ve been given the marching orders; we’ve been given the assignment.

The saints in this verse were contending against spirits of darkness, the spirits of fear and the spirit of anti-christ. It says they were being overpowered and marginalized in the midst of their challenge. But right there, there was a verdict that was released. That verdict is now forming our future. Suddenly we, the saints, are released to possess the Kingdom!

The momentum has just been shifted, I hope you can feel that! – in spite of very unlikely odds, the time has come for the saints to possess the Kingdom. That means to advance His Kingdom on a grand scale that couldn’t be seen before. So there’s a resurgence of the saints; that means there’s no law that cannot be changed. So it’s time to deal with what we’ve thought of as lost causes (eg. abortion and same-sex marriage) for the Court of Heaven is seated, the books opened and He’s waiting for the Church to rise up and say “Enough is enough” and divine intervention is going to come from the Ancient of Days.

As I pondered these things, I heard the Lord say this;

“You are the power behind the Throne.”

I knew He was speaking of us, the Church. What does that mean? It means we are the “Shadow Government” of the government in the earth. A shadow government is an invisible authority demonstrating that power resides not only with publicly elected representatives or monarchy, but with the Ecclesia, the Church – you and I.

The Sovereign Court of Heaven is the place where appeals and decrees will shift nations regardless of the earthly government.

The Ecclesia will function to advance Kingdom territory – they’re going to use the Keys of David. What are these? Revelation 3:7-8 says “…He who holds the key of David. What He opens no-one can shut, and what He shuts no-one can open.” Why of David and not Moses or Abraham? David was the only one who was a prophet, a priest and a king. Those are keys to nations. We’ve seen people in times past who’ve used these keys to open up our cities and our nation for revivals, for miracles, for awakening.
We want to learn how to do the same thing with the Key of David that the Spirit of the Lord has given us. When we use that key in pray and worship it looks like this: when David functioned as a priest his prayer was petitional and worship was devotional…but we want to move on and as a prophet, the prayer and worship is full of targets, of detail, clarity and of revelation…but when he operated governmentally in the kingship anointing we have governmental prayer and apostolic courtroom worship. That’s how we function now as kings. These keys will open up the Kingdom of God’s advancing transformation in the earth, for this is a year of staking claim to the land and of possessing the land

4. Increase in Authority

Complacency is breaking off God’s sons and daughters.They will not just believe “that someone else will go”, but they will act on God’s behalf and say as Isaiah said; “Here am I send me.” (Isa 6:8) [RB: Similarly, with boy Samuel when lying down by the Ark of the Covenant when the Lord stood beside and called him then he responded, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening”. 1Sam 3]
We are going from faith to faith as a new measure of authority is released into the earth. Faith will appropriate this authority that has already been given. The authority of the Lord is increasing as we passionately follow Him and it’s coinciding with our expanding territory to impact and to steward the work of the Lord.

With every new endeavor or territory that God assigns to us there is the responsibility that comes with it. Your new authority is needed, for your new territory because it comes with obstacles that can only be overcome by it. So I want to talk about revelation this season of what are some of our obstacles – not that we won’t have some that are the same but what are the ones unique to this season?

5. Unique Obstacles

Persecution of Christians will increase in this season…Remember, prophetic prayer worship and prophetic warfare sounds can still reach where you cannot, resulting in opening of prison doors, just like it did for those in the Bible.
Main obstacle is Fear. Be really careful not to allow yourself to be motivated by fear or to the fear that’s released in the atmosphere – not to live under it; you affect the atmosphere rather than living under it! |Even when hearing of wars and rumours of wars – they’re going to be part of our existence from now on – do not let that shake you because fear is the opposite of faith and it will rob you of your faith. Instead, know this is the time for you to expand and be blessed, to create new things (including wealth, the Bible says), to bring forth words of life that heal. The world needs hope and God has called you to demonstrate His love and His power for Christ in you is the hope of glory!
National security/immigration. There will be greater focus on national security so the Lord will give guidance for praying and use your prayer language to reveal the will of God. Likewise, we need a solution from heaven for the issues of immigration.
The economy. I don’t believe it’s about a falling economy but I believe the Spirit of the Lord has said another credit crunch is coming. It not something to pray and avoid but is one of those things that’s still balancing and exposing for we should pray that the systems and kingdoms of this world might be transformed by the will of heaven.
Racial division in the earth will bring unrest. The Lord says this can be downsized or avoided as pastors/leaders pray and decree for racial unity from the pulpit. They must also demonstrate working together with other pastors/leaders. Racial division can be downsized through prayer.
Rise in terrorism and insurgent attacks will continue. We’re going to see a greater increase of one-man terror assaults (many small attacks). They will seem to be disjointed and random but the Spirit of God says; “They’re not”. But can I take you to look at the word that releases fear in people, like ‘cancer’ used to. That word is:
1. ‘ISIS’ – Isis is the name of an Egyptian god. Note that I’m speaking of demonic spirits, NOT Muslim people – Egyptian god spirits, not Muslims. But it is not a coincidence this army has laid claim to the area of the Middle East that the Lord claims as His own in Isaiah 19, because it’s a spirit behind the army that wants to halt God’s plans. Let’s look at chapter 19 verses:
2. v 19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt…
  v 20 And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt…
  v 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria… v 24 …Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria…
  v 25 whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.” (Please read those carefully later…)
3. One motive of the demonic spirits behind ISIS is to try to halt the Isaiah 19 Highway. The Lord has miraculously freed His people from Pharaoh’s oppression and these scriptures tell us God will do it again, but this time it will include Egypt and Syria. And the gods of Egypt will be toppled again – the result is multitudes are going to be delivered and awakened to their Lord Jesus Christ.
4. ‘ISIS’ will continue to operate for a time, because one of the reasons is that true motives of the spirit behind Islam are being exposed to many people who have a searching heart. Like Haman, the Lord will allow ISIS to prepare its own gallows, waiting for the Esther intercessors to re-write the decrees – remember the book is open and the Judge is seated.
5. Greater shakings to be experienced in the Middle East as division comes upon the “House of Islam”.
  Mark 3:25 gives us our prayer strategy; “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” We need to and it is time to use the same strategy against Satan that he has used against the Church; and that is division. This is a time for praying increased division between the demonic powers behind Islam. Continue to pray for the conversion of terrorists as well as for the halting of activity and for preserving people. Remember Saul the terrorist became Paul the Apostle in Acts 9.

6. We have had Restoration of Apostles, but now it is a Time for Apostolic Action.

The Day of the Saints is what my father in the Lord, Bishop Bill Hamon of Christian International, calls this season. This the anointing and movement of the apostolic, not just the restoration of the apostles. So we are anointed to equip people to be “Sent Ones” with signs, wonders and miracles. They’re on assignment to bring transformation into their territory and they get to build apostolically during this time.
Time to Build Apostolically
This begins with the Church again being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, so there are some shiftings that are going on around the earth right now. This foundation is being restored in a new dimension of God’s government. He is giving us fresh strategies for today and so new blueprints to build are being released to enable the Church to partner with God in this new mandate. For some it will look like a redevelopment plan, but for all participating it will be structures that are going to accommodate an incredible harvest. There’s going to be blueprints for finances, strategies for raising, equipping and sending of the saints – and it will seem to many like an acceleration time. Apostolic/Prophetic churches and centres will multiply. So we get to “Arise and Build” and be the victorious Church that the gates of hell cannot stand against. I love that! Now because the Lord is building His house, it says when the Lord builds the house our labours will not be in vain. So we’re not building out of religious ritual or tradition, even though we’re building territorially, because we’re bringing the will of heaven right into our communities and into our nation. With this going on…

7. There is an Agitation of Wineskins

Luke 5:37-38. “And no man puts new wine into old wineskins; else the new wine will burst the wineskin, and be spilled, and the wineskins shall perish. But new wine must be put into new wineskins; and both are preserved.”

Individually and corporately, we/Church are these containers. Jesus is telling us that we must have a capacity to hear a fresh word from Him to build apostolically. And what’s happening?

There is a catch-up movement of the Holy Spirit very similar to the Charismatic movement when Holy Spirit poured out into all denominations regardless of the name over the door. So there’s coming another season like that into denominational streams and old wineskins, giving people an opportunity to update before the coming evacuation from old wineskins – some say “Update before evacuate”, but we need to know that’s of God’s agenda. There are some old spiritual wells that have to be re-dug but there are vast new glory spots of revival springing up throughout the earth that God wants you to partner with in Him.

Prophet Jane Hamon has a great revelation that during this time of:

the spirit of Leviathan being stirred to resist this awakening and new wineskin and revival, and to stagnate and stalemate the Church in our nations. She saw Leviathan resisting awakening on every hand. Churches would be resisting the awakening, most media will ridicule it, and the government in places would even try to stop it – but the spirit behind it is Leviathan. [See 2016 “Awakening”.]

The Hebrew word Leviathan actually means “to mourn.” The enemy’s strategy has been to get the church into a place of mourning over things that have gone against us and to immobilize us with a sense of hopelessness. God is waiting on His people to engage in battle, which would release them to move forward and deal with the resistance. We have to shake ourselves and awaken from the grief and mourning over the dead past. People are being awakened in the world and the Church needs to be awakened to go to them!

8. Awakening, Harvest, Reformation and Transformation

As we are coming upon the 500th anniversary since the Great Reformation (Martin Luther), Kingdom understanding of what’s going on in the atmosphere right now is creating links between awakening, harvest, reformation, and transformation. There is a shifting of the Saints into the Great Transformation of the Church for the Transformation of our nations. So…
We’re on the verge of another Great Awakening and the chains of hope deferred are breaking off you and off churches right now. The prayer army is being awakened first and coming out of their slumber. An awakening is taking place in the Church. A remnant is arising, they’ve been maturing, they’re increasing there’s a momentum being gained. There will be an increase in God’s manifest glory and His healings. There’s going to be a voice of truth and righteousness with no compromise that will not be silent. God’s people will be known for their boldness and love. And apostolic, prophetic churches and centres are multiplying at this time. Also, there’s a greater move of the Holy Spirit upon children and they will be awakened in the middle of the night and hear the Lord, as did the child Samuel.
It is also the Beginning of a Great Harvest! There is a fresh release of labourers empowered by the Holy Spirit for such a time as this. Believers are going to realise they’re “sent ones” now, into the fields of Harvest.
Prophetic Evangelism is going to be a main tool the Spirit of God will use and so it’s time to get trained in those areas. It’s going to have its greatest harvest during this season as a major strategy for Kingdom advance.

9. Unity

Christian fellowship is a key aspect of Christian life. Coming together in love, faith and encouragement is an element of family and authentic relationships. We cannot influence society with the truth of who Jesus Christ is without that love for God and for each other that He wants us to have. We need those authentic relationships. As corporate church flows in unity we’re going to see God’s presence with a mighty outpouring of signs, wonders and miracles. God’s people are going to rise in this pressure of current world situation and we’re going to create a unity in the Kingdom of God and the House of God that’s without precedent in former generations!

I believe Heaven is actually standing to attention and they’re waiting – there’s almost with an intake of breath – waiting for the prayers of God’s people to link arms and to fight as one. It’s an incredible time and, as a matter of fact, Psalm 133 says this is what’s going to release, this unity will release the commanded blessing of the Lord.

10. Nations

The next area of revelation that God is speaking is concerning the nations and here in Europe we need to know – even if we read the news we would hear this –

1. Europe is shaking in disunity in the EU. But there is also a different shaking going on – there’s a clash of the Kingdoms in Europe. This conflict begins in Europe but it negatively spreads to the nations of the earth if God’s people do not pray…This clash of the Kingdoms will also cause the Church to awaken and arise, and what will happen is a fresh joinings of passion for the Lord as a war cry is raised from the Church. Intimacy and warriors – it’s an incredible time…and coming from the voice of the Church in Europe! Remember, this conflict is for who’s going to rule, who’s going to sit on the throne of nations? We have a King of Kings and a Lord of Lords – we’re going to give Him His inheritance: the nations!
  Re. our most recent history, Cindy Jacobs says: “Through crises the enemy has used a Trojan Horse to enter Europe. But God says; ‘I have a plan for a sweeping awakening of Europe and the nations of the earth, to actually reap a harvest of the Muslims nations“. So God is going to turn that Trojan Horse around for the benefit of harvest.
2. The church in England will see it’s true Apostles rise and build.
3. The church in Wales is about to birth an end-times prayer movement.
4. The church in Ireland will water itself in great intercession and see an early harvest of souls.
5. There is a fire beginning to burn in Scotland.
6. The church in France is rising in power.
7. The church in Germany will begin to show its strength.
8. Netherlands, God is giving you watchmen assignments for the EU, the European economy and terrorist attacks against your country.
9. Spain will become a focus for the spirit of Islam…but the true Church is also rising up in Spain.
10. Russia. Putin will continue to stir unrest in the world with his alignments. Yet God is moving in the Church in Russia and especially a move of God among the young and next generation in Moscow.
11. Small embers are beginning to burn for God in Estonia, Siberia and Serbia.
12. Ukraine has a strong underground church forming that will ignite this nation for God.

You know, we’re beginning this year with a grace of empowerment to be more than conquerors. What an amazing way: that’s how God is causing us to move into this year!

Psalm 110:3 Your people will be Your love offerings like living sacrifices spilled out before You. In the day of Your mighty power, You will be exalted and in the brightness of Your holy ones You will shine, as an army arising from the dawning rays of a new day.

There are so many of us forerunners in all spheres that are being matured and being promoted into fresh intimacy and authority this year – make sure you grab hold of that!

I actually believe you can hit that reset button in this season. Go before God and set that rest button in the areas you need to reset…because God wants so much for you than you want for yourself.

Sharon closes with a strong encouragement that we’re surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, some of whom we know personally – there’s many more of them than of us!

“I believe that we’re on a fresh momentum with the shifting of the saints to possess the Kingdom, that’s going to cause us to finish well.

“God bless you and be blessed in 2016.”

Selah!

Pat Schatzline: prophetic message for 2016 on ‘The Lord’s joyous shout’

Posted on Tuesday, 29 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

It’s not unusual for the Lord to direct my attention online and, as explained below, the following message from Patrick Schatzline is no exception – click title for original:

THE LORD WILL SHOUT IN 2016!

The year 2016 will be a year of reformation for the believer. I have never felt such a deep stirring to bring forth a message concerning a new year! For several days I have felt a deep impression from the Lord that I deliver a prophetic word for the year 2016. Each day I have sat on an old church bench that came from New London, Connecticut. This old pew sat in a church that experienced the Great Awakening in the 1740’s. As I sat in the pew to pray I would hear over and over the Lord say to me, “Son, I will shout over my people in 2016!” I have never written a prophetic word concerning a new year; yet, I have personally been deeply grieved over the last several months. While I hold onto the vision of the Remnant Awakening I also know that time is running out. In 2015 we have seen much of the diabolical plan of Satan begin to reveal itself bolder than ever before. We saw marriage redefined by an over reaching court, Isis take more ground, the exposure of Planned Parenthood’s selling of baby body parts, and many of the main stream Christian movements move closer towards the euthanasia of the Holy Spirit movement. But, I am here to announce, “all is not lost!” Wake-up and prepare yourself for a new day.

As I have already stated, I heard the Lord say over and over to me, “Son I will shout over my people in 2016!” This stirred me so deeply, because I once heard a powerful quote by C. S. Lewis, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”[1] I also began to study the places in the Bible where God shouts. Here is a verse that declares the Lord’s shout in Psalms 47:5-6, “God went up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.” (MEV)

I have personally heard this shout on several occasions. Once, was in the middle of the night in Kingman, Arizona, when God awakened me in my hotel room. It was March 7, 2011, at 3:30 in the morning, and the Lord informed me to write my first book called, Why is God so mad at me? This interruption changed everything. I also heard the Lord say to me in July of 2014 the term, “Ah Sovereign, Lord.” This became a message of repentance and also a chapter in my last book. My wife, Karen, also had this experience with her first book. I also believe for many of us that God waits till the stillness of the night to awaken us, because during the day we speak more than we listen. The Bible says in Psalms 78:65, “Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.” (MEV)

I asked the Lord what it meant that He would shout over His people in 2016. He led me to Psalms 89:14-15, “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth shall go before Your presence. Blessed are the people who know the joyful shout. They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your presence.” (MEV) The shout of the Lord is “joyful” to those who know His ways! I then heard Father say,

“I have heard the cries of the righteous”, and He is declaring respite for His children. “My shout will cause the enemy to cower and take refuge from my glory.” Then He said, “Deliver a message to my people”.

The following is what I felt the Lord has told me to deliver to you:

2016 will be a year of reclamation, restoration, revolution and revival. The righteous will experience an unprecedented awakening of those whom have grown weary and tired in the battle. The righteous whom have lost their will to fight will suddenly be endued with power as never before. They will be given visions and dreams. They will suddenly find themselves with opportunities that have caused Heaven to smile at their obedience. Doors will swing wide open that no man can shut. God is handing out parchment and scrolls in prayer closets to those who know His heart. The parchments are announcements of what the Lord is about to do in the land, and these scrolls have hidden in them the keys to the kingdom of God. The Lord is clothing His righteous ones with humility and boldness. The Lord has reserved for Himself a Holy Remnant that know His voice. These are those whom have decided to go deeper and walk out His precepts. Favor will be upon their heads. They will suddenly find access to places once considered locked, and they will walk with supernatural influence.

There will be much civil unrest across America. The civil unrest will be caused by different political and social movements. It will look like the late 60’s. This will cause the righteous to stand up and say enough! God will awaken the mom movement. Mothers will stand up and declare leave our children alone. Their passion will be to tell culture, government and politicians that they will not stand by and watch their children’s identity be stolen. If they listen to the Lord they will be more powerful than the suffrage movement. These women will not be led by celebrities, but by prayer warriors.

God will visit the churches that have and are declaring His holiness and the pure Gospel. They will experience supernatural growth. Even churches that many have said will never grow will suddenly become shining voices in their cities. Waves of His glory will roll through the services like a fog in the early morning. The services will be marked with repentance and miracles. There will be a mass exodus from the churches that do not preach the whole council of God. Prayer and intercession will once again mark houses of worship. God is causing new wells to spring up. Children’s ministries services will resound with the sound of worship, gifts of the Spirit and miraculous moves of God. There will be a renewed call to evening worship in places that are hungry for more. A new sound of worship will come forth from psalmists. This will be a sound that is birthed by Heaven. God will awaken older and retired ministers to realize that their job is not complete. They will be endued with power to once again proclaim God’s truth. Youth services will no longer be about the crowd or the party atmosphere, but rather sacred assemblies where God will ignite a fresh fire.

Righteous church leaders will suddenly find their physical and spiritual selves renewed with wings like eagles. They will be cured of disease and find themselves resting like never before. Mentally leaders will find that depression has lost its grip on their lives. They will brim with fresh vision. They will also see their households refreshed. Their marriages will glow with renewed love, intimacy and spiritual bonding. Their children will become enamoured with the joy of the Lord. Prodigal children will return to the front doors to once again embrace the awesomeness of God. The Lord will bless their homes with uncanny finances. Many of these leaders will be reminded of prophecies and promises from the Lord as He brings them into fruition. These leaders will also write books birthed in the prayer closet.

Warning: For the leaders who no longer preach a message of conviction and truth, and those who declare their pre-packaged humanistic messages, their words will not go farther than the pulpit. It will be as if the people in the congregation have earplugs keeping them from hearing. These leaders are on trial in the court of God’s kingdom, and if not careful they will be found in contempt. Even now Father is visiting many of these leaders, and they are being given an opportunity to repent. If they do not repent they will find themselves staring at empty chairs in their palatial structures. Their places of leadership will be vacant. God is shouting over them.

God is visiting homes both Christian and secular. God is restoring broken marriages. Family altars and times of worship will be released in homes that have grown stagnate and comfortable. God is breaking off lethargy. There will be a renewed sense of conviction in homes that have allowed God to be locked outside. Prayer rooms will take over rooms reserved for guests. For the houses that are willing to restore God to His rightful place they will feel Him walking through their home. Healing will be in their water. Fathers and mothers must anoint their families. Worship will come from the bedrooms of children. Father’s will have their voices restored as leaders in homes where they were subjugated by culture. They will rise early and pray. Prodigal fathers and mothers will return to their place of leadership as the Lord’s grace calls to them.

The gatherings of the “unknowns” will take place across America. These gatherings will be planned and impromptu. They will be powerful movements that lead people to repentance and adoration. They will not be gatherings with well-known speakers or worship bands, but rather those whom have been awakened by the awe of the Lord will lead them. I believe that the Remnant Awakening will be a part of this.

In 2016 there will be a great awakening in parts of Asia, Europe, Africa, South America and parts of the USA. The enemies of the cross will rise against these movements and in return they will experience great calamity and disease. Their evil plans will be exposed in supernatural ways. Israel will once again turn back the tide of Islam, and its borders will be enhanced. America will experience several close calls by terrorists and all but one will be thwarted. This will cause our nation to once again cry out to God. A renewed sense of God’s sovereignty will over take many communities, and with that people will awaken to the lies of the secularist. God’s people will suddenly stand in opposition to the lies of the enemy. They will find themselves marching as if to war.

There will be many outbreaks of God’s glory on university and college campuses. Christian universities that no longer stand behind their creed and original plan will have opportunity to return to the Master’s Plan! God will use the quiet and meek to be a powerful voice of freedom to those whom are blinded by the enemy.

There will also be a holy awakening of God’s love and deliverance within the homosexual community. There will be those whom have experienced and know God’s presence that will be driven to their knees. God is fiercely jealous of His kidnapped children. He is answering the prayers of righteous parents who are demanding that their seed be returned.

USA Presidential Election: There will be a major surprise during the USA presidential election. Christians must pray for God to show them the right candidate. They must not listen to the hype, but ask for discernment. The church must pray for the Lord’s will to be done.

Finances: The global market will grow increasingly unstable. Yet, the Lord is releasing finances to the righteous. Conviction will fall upon many wealthy to sow into ministry. This will allow the churches and ministries that the Lord trusts to experience financial growth for the vision. The camels are coming to the places where they can drink fresh water. We will see the systematic reduction of large ministries that have lost their compass.

Lastly, the Lord declares that,

“His shout will not be heard by all, but only by those whom have made themselves attentive to His ear!”

He is close to the broken-hearted and your cries are before Him. The shout coming from Heaven is preparation for the final shout found in 1 Thessalonians 4:16,

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.” (MEV)

I challenge every believer to pray and fast! I believe that the Lord is giving us an opportunity to change our world. We know that in Psalms 103 it says, “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy” (MEV). Yet, we also know that in Psalms 7:11, “God is a righteous judge, and God has indignation every day” (MEV).

The Lord is shouting! Are we listening? Revelation 2:17, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except he who receives it.” (MEV)

We must awaken. It is a new day! The Remnant is rising!

Footnote: In view of a busy time leading into the holydays I’d intended republishing the previous post only and nothing else last Wednesday. But upon getting online we found friends had sent an email headed ‘Joy’ with a link to USAF flash-mob. I realised it should go on this blog before the Christmas blessing, thus postponing that to Christmas Eve.

After copying video and modifying text I dashed off a new title because its terse one word needed improving upon. So I found myself quickly referring to our Father’s joy in His Son.

After publishing it I checked my emails before closing down and found Patrick had sent a link to the above message. So I printed a hard-copy to mull over at leisure – only then did I read that message is based upon the Lord’s joyful shout! LOL 🙂

Surely the Lord’s using this ‘coincidence’ to confirm and stress the importance of this word for 2016!

A most joyfully blessed Christmas to all

Posted on Thursday, 24 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

Then the angel said to the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks at night,

“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the City of David a Saviour, who is Christ he Lord…” (Luke 2:8-14)+ + +

Readers, have a ‘Mega-merry’ Christmas, as may be inferred from the OT Hebrew word ashar (Strong’s #833, as in Proverbs 31:28 on the virtuous wife), meaning

‘happy, blessed, prosperous, successful, from original root ‘be straight, upright’.’

Better still is New Testament Greek’s makarios (Strong’s #3107), which means

‘from root mak, indicating large, or of long duration…happy, supremely blessed, a condition in which congratulations are in order. It is a grace word that expresses the special joys and satisfaction granted the person who experiences salvation.’

This ‘Blessed’ is used in The Beatitudes, or the Sermon on the Mount, as recorded in Matthew 5. (From NKJV New Spirit-Filled Life Bible, Exec ed. Dr Jack Hayford)

May it be an especially blessed night of spiritual silence and insight for everyone.

The Austrian carol Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht is one of my old favourites. First played on this day in 1818 near Salzburg, my father heard it during his long stay in Stalag IIIA. (He liked the look of Austria as seen whilst being conveyed en-route as a captive from the Battle for Crete in 1941. So we holidayed in the Tyrol in 1950-60s.)

This Celtic version with superb voice and violin is sublime…

Messages from one who stands in The Almighty’s Presence

Posted on Tuesday, 22 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

(Originally published on this blog on 23rd January 2014 and now re-published in view of the increasing expectation lately among Jews of the appearance of their Messiah.)

Angel Gabriel’s introduction of himself is familiar from Christmas scriptures. Yet I propose to connect his messages with the concept of prophesying into Time, especially about the Holy Spirit – and with an intriguing prophecy for Jewish people today.

Angelic Announcements

This post’s title is from Gabriel’s response to an elderly Jewish priest’s disbelief, to which I refer below. Several months later Gabriel was sent to a betrothed teenager, as depicted in 1898 by Henry Ossawa Tanner in Annunciation (click image for gallery).

The maiden’s visitor greeted her,

“Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

It wasn’t so much the surprise of an invisible spirit becoming visible that troubled her, as what he’d said and how it was said. But this messenger then reassured her,

“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Although not disbelieving what he’d said, the young lady posed a logical question because she was a virgin, “How can this be since I know not any man?” So Gabriel explained,

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.”

At this Mary responded laudably, “Behold the maid-servant of the Lord. Let it be according to your word”.

How different was the young maid’s acceptance of this decree about her own future to that of the very much older priest Zacharias when Gabriel had visited him a few months earlier. Apparently, Mary hadn’t heard about what had happened. Otherwise, there would have been no need for Gabriel to have confided the news of that first miraculous conception.

So what went wrong for her cousin’s husband?

Zacharias had the once-in-a-lifetime privilege of burning incense in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. In view of its performance being in the Holiest of Holies, this duty was done by drawing lots rather than by a rota from many teams of priests.

Whilst Zacharias was officiating, an invisible, supra-natural spirit subtly scintillated at the side of the altar. It proved to be a holy messenger – an archangel, so some believe. He brought news of the future mission of a mightily powerful man of God – the priest’s own son! But Zacharias and his wife Elizabeth were childless for she was well past child-bearing age!

However, their prayers for a baby were to be answered and the angel prophesied this special one would be filled with God’s Holy Spirit from before his birth! It isn’t any wonder the priest was in disbelief! When he asked, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years” , the angel’s response was most emphatic,

“I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.” (emphasis added)

If you’re unfamiliar with physician Luke’s investigation into those encounters with Gabriel and what happened when the two cousins met, and to Zacharias too, I’d recommend reading his full account here, by courtesy of BibleGateway.com.

Points to Ponder

Those accounts are particularly interesting in connection with speaking into the future, as summarised in Prophesy TO 2014 and Talking to Time seems to work!

Prophesying is speaking forth the mind and counsel of the Lord God, as communicated to an individual. Therefore, it’s a declaration that cannot be known by natural means – a direct revelation from God. [For more see An Introduction to Prophecy.]

Now let’s check Gabriel’s announcements in the light of John Kilpatrick’s message of the first Sunday in 2104, as outlined in my recent posts (ie January 2014):

1. In that last quotation, Gabriel issued a decree that happened immediately but which had a limited duration. That is, he spoke into Time by prophesying, did he not? Right away the priest became dumb until he was released from the decree’s power when the baby came to be named months later.

My underscoring of “my words…will be fulfilled in their own time” indicates New Testament support for ‘talking into Time’. Gabriel’s words brought from God were not only welcome news but also, and far more importantly, announcements on earth of declarations that had been issued in heaven. They’re excellent examples of oral statements of God’s will and are thus prophetic and creative, in we can understand from the Word of the Lord given to prophet Isaiah (Isa 55:11 – emphasis mine):

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Thus, what God speaks not only through His holy prophets but also through His angelic spirits who minister to His people, as well as through His Son, is sure to happen sooner or later.

2. From the principles of Genesis 1 the power of divine and human speech is creative, . The presence of Holy Spirit is necessary to bring about a divinely created manifestation. A Hebrew understanding of ‘over’, or ‘hovering’, in Genesis 1:2 is that Holy Spirit was next to or immediately adjoining what was about to be acted upon – all that was required to start the process was a spoken word.

Therefore, when Gabriel spoke to Zacharias the combined action of his words and the Holy Spirit fully rejuvenated his wife’s body. She was no longer barren but could carry and bring a child to birth normally. And even in her womb Holy Spirit was present to make baby John respond to the sound of Jesus’ mother’s voice!! (Luke 1:39-41)

The same happened when Gabriel spoke to Mary. The ‘overshadowing’ power of the Most High that he referred to carries the same meaning as that of ‘hovering’ in Genesis. Being of the Holy Spirit, the same creative power that was ‘In the Beginning’ brought about an ‘immaculate’ conception after the angel’s prophetic announcement. That is, it would not happen until a decree, a spoken announcement, had been delivered and received. Once again Gabriel had spoken into Time – into the next nine months!

3. The creative application of Gabriel’s prophetic description of Jesus’ kingship and its relevance to a possible prophecy given to the late rabbi Kaduri warrants consideration in another post. Read about him meanwhile in Who are the Jewish people expecting?

On ‘crossing over’ and a coming Revival

Posted on Wednesday, 9 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

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.
Times and seasons are in his hands – Eccls 3

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:

“I came to faith at 15 years of age and was preaching on the streets of Liverpool before I was 16. Preaching came so naturally to me that I knew that I was born for such an honour. I spent hours in prayer and bible study as a youth, while making time to be involved in some church based activity most nights of the week. ( I was born into and out of a Baptist background).

“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.

‘It is a very encouraging word as well as confirming so much we are hearing from Abba God right now…

‘Something I noted in her words. The waves of blessings do not disturb the line in the sand. I see real significance in that. It is not a temporary line, it is established in Father’s plan and purpose. The waves of blessing may well be a means of many reaching and crossing the line.Not to be sad spectators, rather to become fully involved in the great commission of these last days.

‘So blessed by today’s word from you…’

Thanksgiving and prophetic words for Britain and United States

Posted on Thursday, 26 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

PS to previous post > > In case you may have read it soon after publication, I added a sentence with link about the timing of these ‘now words’. I believe there’s a great deal to be gained on meditating upon and seeking the Lord on their connection with the Lords’ feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) – and its relationship to Jesus’ return!

Prophetic words of blessing and fire for British Isles & Ireland

Posted on Thursday, 19 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

This Word for the UK, dated 17th November, is brought by Monica White, a member of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival:

“England, oh England… have I not promised you that I would rekindle the ancient flames across the land? See, even now it comes to pass… Holy fire lit here, there, and soon the fires will join and your land will be aflame with my Spirit. For I have loved you and have loved your forefathers who served me and their prayers and their cries even amidst of burning reached My throne and I will never forget.. I will come as the whirlwind and as the Fire and as the Dove and you will see me across the land!

“Ireland my beloved.. in days of old I sent your children into the nation with My Zeal for Holiness, for signs, for wonders… for a time the signs I gave you became strange beings that were not in My image, but according to your understanding… yet my Promise never left you and my Purpose never left you and you will blaze again with Holy Fire! Watch and see, it will be in your time.

“Scotland oh brave one… I gifted you with wisdom and restraint and with mighty generals… you will again break out and in My Power go forth and conquer in distant nations and on your own soil and do great exploits… but in My Kingdom and with my Power! And the work will endure.

“Wales, I visited you and will visit you again. For the remnant that have remained faithful are many and the prayers and supplications of those that have gone before are echoing in the Heavenlies…Surely I hear you and the incense of your love please My Heart and I will bless you again ! “

Amen!

“It was one of the most profound words I’ve ever been given” – the USA in heaven’s court

Posted on Thursday, 12 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

The above quotation is Simon Braker’s on Facebook to me about that most remarkable dream of judgement and the Lord’s decision to send a great revival.

Last night I sensed the Lord wants me to re-emphasis the dream’s significance just in case any American reader or visitor to this blog may not yet have had opportunity to read and consider it.

Hence, this short note in case you may wish to read and be blessed by it; in which case please click here.

I was particularly interested that its publication followed close on the heels of hearing revivalist Pat Schatzline. I’d reported upon the main part of his message in my 3-part post on boasting over Jesus, in which I quoted his rejection of all ‘doom and gloom’ prophecies but left out his own on revival for another blog.

Therefore, I’d encourage everyone now reading Simon’s dream to follow that up with what Pat brought, as in Revival in the USA. In my humble opinion they’re directly connected. You may also like to note in the comments to that post a poetic prophecy brought a year earlier by Jerry Savelle.

May you be mightily blessed…

Revival in the USA – a prophetical perspective from ‘over The Pond’

Posted on Wednesday, 11 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

The possibility of a fresh Holy Spirit-led revival in the United States seems far-fetched in view of the deep spiritual darkness there and its being long overdue for holy judgement – but…

In the last week we’ve noted prophetic words about a revival coming to the USA, as in Simon Braker’s dream in Leicester, and changes for the church as in posts on James Bailey and Chuck Pierce in America. I’d like to add to these with an update as well as to list earlier posts on this subject for ease of reference.

Let’s not forget that many prophetical voices consider the injunction brought by prophet Isaiah applies today for Spirit-led Christians:

‘Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon YOU. Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn…’ (Isaiah 60:1-3)

Last year I started blogging about visitors to Britain noticing good changes in our spiritual atmosphere. So why not ‘turn the tables’ by giving my perspective from here on a coming revival in America? Several times I’ve noted similarities between what’s been prophetically heard and declared here and over there, as in posts bearing ‘Bridge_o’Pond’ tag.

Revival on the Gulf Coast

Soon after opening worship on Sunday 18th October at Church of His Presence in Alabama, pastor Kilpatrick spoke about the necessity of buying adjoining land for extending their new premises.

“What’s that got to do with revival?” you may well ask!

Had it not been for local residents’ recent opposition that land would have been sold for industrial development. Last year, CHP had been mightily blessed with being able to buy and build there within months, thereby no longer needing to hire facilities in Mobile Convention Centre.

Bear in mind also that the Lord blessed pastor John with hosting not one but TWO Holy Spirit led revivals: in 1995, a repentance revival in Brownsville, Pensacola, Florida and, in 2010, The Bay of the Holy Spirit healing revival in Daphne, Alabama. Remarkably both started on Fathers’ Day of their respective year.

That morning Pat Schatzline preached upon the fourth man in the fiery furnace and ‘bragging on Jesus’, as reported here and here. Those posts focussed upon what the Lord had stressed to him on the importance of praising Him in these times. In avoiding over-complication I didn’t tell about an important prophetic word for revival with which Pat opened his message (at 1:39:30 of this video),

“Praise Him…we’re not done here, we’re not done praising! You have no idea what I’m about to preach on. Some of you know I have a sleep disorder called ‘revelation’…

“A few days ago when pastor called me…I was praying after you called and asked me to come. I was supposed to be in Ohio but the Holy Spirit said “You’re to go”! How many of you know when ‘a father’ calls, you go? That’s the rule…

“But I was praying about this property and I saw that new area and the Lord said, “Revival is to come from that land”.

“That’s what He spoke to me. He said this house will raise up revivalists that will touch the world.“

Of course, some cynically presume he’s just trying to raise finance, but says he…

“No, no, no, for we’re living in intense times. And just as there’s many ‘preppers’ out there, it’s time to prepare the way for revival.

“He’s coming! A move of the Spirit’s coming to America. God’s not done with America yet – I’m a missionary to America. I so deeply honour this house and know this general’s motives that the Lord spoke to me early this morning, “The camels are coming!”…”

Pat says, as blogged earlier, he’s been on an intense journey with the Lord for over a year because He promised, “If you’ll allow me to take you to the places of revival, you’ll be part of the next one”. Pat continues,

“I was standing over there a minute ago and asked the Lord to bend me…I prayed then I felt the hand of God hit me and He started pushing me over! I’ve never had that happen to me before” (Pat indicates a doubling over)…

“People are going to come from north, south, east and west – not just to come and be part of this church; that’s not what it’s about – but they’re going to come in here because they need to be washed, to have an encounter, to have their cognitive dissonance ripped off, scales broke off of them – this is a Restoration Place of the Lord – and I’m telling you from the Holy Spirit we’ve seen nothing yet…we’ve seen nothing yet!

“And it’s not by chance that one of my heroes is here: Jeri Hill’s here today (evangelist Steve Hill’s widow)…there’s another wave of the Spirit that’s coming – it was prophesied 50 miles to the west of Brownsville: right here!

“Now why’m I telling you that – because in the next few minutes I’m going to brag on God…(as in More biblical boasting on Jesus.)

On the coming Revivals

For information purposes, revivals prophesied for the USA are covered in earlier posts, as below. The sequence is in chronological order of events (date format dd.mm.yy):

John Kilpatrick (1986): If you preach what I give you and preach it unafraid and un-intimidated on television…I will open the heavens from the I10 all along this Gulf coast.” (Then 1993): “I’m about to open the heavens over Pensacola. I’m about to pour out My Spirit in this place, but first you must make it a house of prayer.” (Revivals in the USA cont’d.)
Dr Yonggi Cho (1993): “I’m not going to judge, I’m not going to bring My judgment on America, I’m going to pour out My Spirit. Get your atlas out of your attaché case and point! – I’m going to pour out My Spirit first in Pensacola, it will burn like a match-head, fiery, there and it will go west along the I10 to the Mississippi river, (Spanish, ‘River of The Holy Spirit’). Then it will back up along the Gulf coast, go down the peninsular of Florida, go up the Eastern seaboard and come down into the Mid-West and South-West and shoot out through the North-West; and before My Coming ALL of America will be ablaze with The glory of God!” (Revivals in the USA cont’d.)
Tony Puccio (3.9.10): vision of a coming wave of the Holy Spirit to the US.
Tony Puccio (22.1.14): A couple of visions about Revival in the USA.
Dutch Sheets (3.7.14): 4th July and a Third Great Awakening.
Joel Rosenberg (13.11.14): 46,000 churches called to ‘extraordinary prayer’.
John Kilpatrick (7.12.14): lady pastor brought ‘fire’ from Toronto to Pensacola and the Spirit fell – prophecy about the American Gulf coast: “I believe there’s going to come a powerful shift that will begin in Alabama, and the shift that takes place here, among other places, is going to begin to shift this nation back to where it should be! Now don’t make this mistake…that whatever God does next He’s done before, because it’s not! There’s a new sound that’s coming! There’s a new level of worship that’s coming! There’s a new level of revelation preaching that’s coming!” (Revivals in the USA cont’d.)
RB (31.12.14): Revivals in the USA – nature of revival – native Indian revival of 1745 – July 1994 prophecies of 1995 and 2010 revivals – Nov 2014 prophecy, “Brownsville was good, Bay of the Holy Spirit would happen here – but I believe what’s about to take place over there (ie. across the bay from Mobile) is going to rock this nation!…I challenge the men to get ready.. to be in our place and be prepared for what’s about to take place, to be prepared for what’s about to happen!” (J Kilpatrick)
John Kilpatrick (1.3.15): On a new revival of prayer in USA and elsewhere.

Confirmation of prophetic word: holy winds of change

Posted on Tuesday, 3 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

After Howling Fresh Wind by Patsy Southway was auto-published on this blog today, I tinkered around with news relating to climate change. Unbeknown to me Angela Jelf was beavering away with a comment on that post and which warrants publication as some may have missed it. Angela writes as follows, and I’ve taken the liberty to show the Lord’s word as a quotation:

Hi Richard,
After reading this, I just felt prompted to share a word that God gave to me on June 15th last year (strangely enough, when I went to find my old journal which I’d written this word down in, lo and behold, it was folded open on exactly the right page!)

“For some time the church in the UK has been battling against a head wind. We’ve had the wind against us. Despite our best efforts, particularly in the area of evangelism, progress has been slow. It’s as though we’ve had the wind and rain in our face, and been buffeted by the elements. There’s been a sense of three steps forward and two steps back. But there is a fresh wind blowing! A wind of change is on the way! It’s the wind of the Holy Spirit and its coming to our aid! It’s a tail wind which will propel us forward! Acceleration is suddenly coming. The Lord has heard our cry, He has seen our growing hunger for breakthrough. Suddenly those things that were difficult will suddenly be done with ease, because it’s not about your effort. Hope is carried on this wind. When you feel this wind you must hoist up your sails! Hoist up your sails and get ready for acceleration! Some of you have longed for things, for salvation for family members, for breakthrough in healings and miracles – let fresh hope arise today for it will surely come about.

“This wind comes upon my church to propel you out! You will go out into the community, to the highways and byways. You will no longer stay hidden behind four walls. This wind will send you OUT and propel you to new horizons.

“This wind also blows through the harvest – it is blowing on the lost and broken, the sinner with the hardest heart – this wind is stirring the harvest. It’s blowing now! I see dandelion clocks, the little seeds caught on the wind. The seed of the gospel will be caught on this wind and will travel far and wide! It will propel the lost and the prodigal into my house. They will not be able to resist this wind as it carries such power. For it’s the wind of my Spirit!”

Praise God – I truly believe the time is now!”

In response to my reply Angela added, “Thanks Richard – I haven’t blogged about it. Just shared it at our church…The wonderful thing is, we are beginning to see a shift. Prodigals are beginning to return, and last week five people responded to the gospel on a course at our church!”

Praise the Lord – more, much more Lord!

Footnote:

The Lord seems to be turning our attention back to this prophetic promise – even halting us in our tracks, turning us around so we don’t miss what He wants us to realise!! That is, He gave a similar word not only to Patsy last May but also to others during the first half of this year about waves and winds, as well as a few years ago in what I’d term a ‘tame tornado’.

See Library and Weighing waves, tsunami & tornado and a turning the tide, to which Tony Puccio reminded me of dreams about a Cleansing wind and Winds of change in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Also, I’m nudged to add and to check the date – it is worth re-reading the important Prophetic word on Hurricane Sandy brought by Revd Dr Sharon Stone THREE YEARS AGO TODAY!

Therefore, I need to urge you and me to ‘NB’ – nota bene; pay especial attention!

PS: note Maray’s thoughts below…

Patsy Southway: howling fresh wind!

Posted on Tuesday, 3 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

As well as harmonising with several recent prophetic words this follow-on from Patsy has a particularly pertinent reference to ‘Acceleration’, which has often been referred to on this blog. Patsy writes:

This morning (Thurs 29th October) I awoke at 5am to a howling wind blowing all around the house. With my window open, I could hear the trees swaying and the many leaves being blown about.

I was reminded that earlier this year, during the month of May, God spoke to me about a FRESH WIND (earlier blog) and this morning as I was listening to a natural wind, He said that

“I am sending another FRESH WIND!”

In this NEW fresh wind, we, his children, are being given a choice. We can choose to embrace what He is doing and flow with that, which means we will be totally out of our depth! OR we can choose to continue in the same way. Doing ‘stuff’ as we have been, or embracing the NEW, it’s all good; but the NEW is better than the OLD!!

Sadly, I saw many people getting offended as this FRESH wind was blowing away strong cobwebs (some established networks, I believe) to make way for the NEW. I was sensing His heart, the desire for us, his sons and daughters, to have a desire to embrace the NEW!

ACCELERATION

I saw an acceleration of AWAKENING! This also, He had already spoken to me about earlier this year. There is an acceleration to RIGHTEOUSNESS – the righteousness of God upon the NATIONS.

Changes in our Governments, Churches, Schools and families were happening as Holy Spirit brings about Heavens plans and strategies. I felt that too many of us, His family, have embraced a mantle of hopelessness where more attention has been paid to news reports rather than what Father is saying and doing. John 5:19

This morning, let’s break off ANY ungodly attachments in Jesus name and embrace this NEW WIND that He is releasing.

PRAYER

As some of you will know, this month we officially started our HOP (A303 House of Prayer) this was in obedience to what God had shown me a few years ago. As I was journaling earlier this week He reminded me of the Prayer Hubs that we will be connecting with across the nations.

As there is a ‘return to prayer’ happening right now, we will see these NEW hubs surfacing. They will be connected by those with a burning passion to see the Kingdom Of God powerfully over their villages, towns and cities with the effects rippling out to ALL the nations. Lastly, as I was reading Johns gospel this morning 6:27/29 the disciples were asking Jesus, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered:

“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

Amen.

Simon Braker: a dream of judgement/revival in USA

Posted on Wednesday, 28 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

In drafting an email about developments in UK, I wanted to insert a link to my latest posts. BUT something made me check that its opening link does work and WOW! I don’t usually bother with Facebook but this opened up Simon’s main page and I saw the first lines of what he’d just posted this morning. Intrigued, I clicked ‘More’ and read:

I’ve held this word for quite some time it came as a dream –

A dream for the United States of America

I found myself sat in what can only be described as a frantic courtroom …
I sat and watched as one witness after another presented their evidence
One came forward and shouted with tears look at this wickedness!
I looked and saw horrific pictures of dead babies and children,
Then another came and shouted look at this greed
Then another look at this pride
Then another look at this corruption
This went on as more and more irrefutable evidence of guilt was given.

It got to the point that the courtroom was in a frenzy of outrage

Yet the high judge just sat and listened until every accusation had been given and all the evidence had been submitted,

Once all this was done he still sat silent,
All the people stood and chanted guilty, guilty, judge them, judge them!

Finally with a loud voice the judge said, “Silence!!”.
Immediately every person became silent and sat down

The judge spoke and said – “I have heard all and seen all, the guilt of these lands of the United States of America is indeed great!

“I have decided judgment is indeed due and right!”
The people cheered, he commanded them to be silent!

“Before I pass my judgment I have one last witness, can the Holy Spirit take the stand please,”

An old woman came forward she was old but not frail in any way her eyes shone as she stood in the dock –

The judge spoke – “Do you have your evidence?”
“I do indeed” and she pointed to the video screen.
There appeared an image of a small child on her knees praying then a teenager then an adult, image after image appeared of more and more Believers of every age, class and race falling to their knees in prayer, then screen went black,

The judge spoke – “Is this the last of your evidence?”
The old woman responded “Yes!”

“Please step down” the judge replied.

All eyes in the room were fixed on him.

“Your evidence is indeed compelling, yet the guilt of this land is indeed great, in fact it grows daily I have therefore chosen judgment”,

He place a black cloth over his head took the hammer in his hand and struck the gavel and said “I find this land worth of………

“A Great revival the likes of which has never been seen before or will be seen again!”

As he said this blood poured forth from his throne and swept every accuser out of the room,

I then saw a map of the United States going up in flames as God began the answer the prayers of his burning ones,

the Lord spoke and said, “The guilt of this land is indeed great but my praying church and my shed blood is greater! So I grant a great revival that will take every street town and city for I will not have the cries of my people unheard, this land will arise and she will indeed shine!

“In what seems to be her darkest hour she shall shine at her brightest!”

RB Notes:

This is especially interesting in view of yesterday’s correspondence with Pat Schatzline. One of my regular contributors emailed after I’d précised his recent teaching at CHP (as here), and so I replied and copied to his ministry, little expecting to get a reply from him. He’s deeply moved by the dream and I responded as follows on revival in USA:

“What I particularly noted was the word about revival the Lord gave you for Pastor John (Kilpatrick), which I’d previously noted and blogged after the New Year (see later half of https://richards-watch.org/2015/01/06/prophecies-fulfilled-3-contd-revival-to-re-visit-usa/)”

I kept Simon in the loop on his Facebook, to which he responded and I’ve emphasised:

“Bless you for helping to get the word out my friend, much appreciated! And I’m glad it’s blessing. I have to say it was one of the most profound words I’ve ever been given“.
