Veronika West on Sons and Daughters and the opening of ancient gates

Thank you to UK Prophetic Words for this received over the weekend and which was first published on Tuesday 9th August and may be read via this title:

YOU WILL BE A WONDROUS SIGN

This morning Papa whispered to me “Daughter, Signs of Wonder will begin to Arise”, immediately I saw the Sons and Daughters of God walking as living sign posts of His Glory and Wonder upon the Earth. They were hosts of His Power and Presence, they were carriers of Radical Hope and Restoration in the land, they were the “sent out ones”, trained and proved by Fire, unmovable in their Faith, fuelled and driven by Holy passion, their hearts were set ablaze with the Fires of Revival and Reformation. From their bellies flowed mighty rivers of living waters, and from their mouths went forth the two edged sword that was sharp, quick and penetrating. These were Holy light bearers, the powers of darkness fled at the very sight of them. Continue reading

Monday morning newsmix: prophetic vision for Cornwall validated

In A Vision Over the Nation published on 4th August Yinka Oyeken wrote:

‘…I saw Cornwall basking in the love of Christ and Father surprising her with a gift by releasing unexpected wealth to her, she will no longer be called impoverished and will be the envy of the nations….’

Upon checking for the latest on Why Leave The EU? I noticed Jonathan Ely’s link to the Express on Saturday appears to validate the vision Yinka received:

Brexit boost for Cornwall after £77M tin mine investment

Amidst intercessors deep concerns and prayers over the battle to delay if not block Article 50 application to leave the EU, today’s Express headline reads: Brexit is ‘FULL STEAM AHEAD’ as Theresa May VOWS to get Britain out of the EU quickly.

The item opens: ‘Brexit is the Prime Minister’s “top priority”, according to a Downing Street spokeswoman, as calls grow for Mrs May to trigger Article 50….’

Telegraph Online has Theresa May tells feuding ministers to ‘stop playing games’ and get on with the job.

The piece opens: ‘Theresa May has vowed to push ahead with plans to formally trigger Brexit at the beginning of next year as she ordered her eurosceptic ministers to “stop playing games” and get on with the their jobs. The Sunday Telegraph disclosed that Liam Fox, the International Development Secretary, had written a terse letter to Boris Johnson in which he effectively demanded that the Foreign Office be broken up…(!!)

Apparently, Dr Fox thinks our trade with other countries won’t flourish if responsibility for future policy remains under the FO but even though on holiday the PM has insisted the ministers focus upon delivering Brexit

On visions, maps, timing and God’s jigsaw of harvest of souls in New Britain

Hands Holding World by TwobeePrediction, prophetic words and visions are pieces of God’s invisible jigsaw puzzle. The spirit of wisdom taught Solomon ‘It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings’ (Prov 25:2).

Moreover, as mature sons and daughters of The King, His Holy Spirit may enable us to discern pieces and aspects of the immense invisible jigsaw He’s laying down – and it seems to be of the harvest foretold in scripture.

We need to consider some recent, related events first:

Yinka Oyekan’s vision of the coming harvest of souls in New Britain isn’t the only one to have been received by Christians. His, however, connects into a developing one that came to me before and after the EU Referendum.

Yinka posted on Facebook 4th August about angelic armies, areas being newly blessed and the harvest. The next day Veronika West brought A Now Word for the UK. which opens by referring to the ongoing spiritual battle that I’ve covered elsewhere, and then goes on,

‘Listen!…Listen! Heaven heralds new hope, new life and UNPRECEDENTED HARVEST IN THIS HOUR“! I see battle lines drawn in the spirit…’

I quote extracts from this magnificently heartening word but,  to gain a proper appreciation of the outcome, I strongly recommend your reading it in full from the above-titled link:

HARVEST FIELDS!

‘I wanted quickly share something with you all, this morning in my prayer time, I had a short vision, and in this vision I was shown what looked like a LARGE FIELD OF CORN, THE HARVEST LOOKED READY. AS I LOOKED UPON THE FIELD I COULD SEE WHAT APPEARED TO BE WARRING ANGELS STANDING IN THE FIELD, AS I LOOKED AT THEM, EACH ANGEL PERFECTLY AND STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED, SOME FACED THE EAST, SOME FACED THE WEST, SOME FACED THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH…

‘My interpretation the HARVEST IS READY, AND HELL IS NOT HAPPY!!! I submit Satan has assigned His demonic cohorts to the fields that are READY for Harvest. There is battle over the United Kingdom that is raging in the heavens in this hour for this ETERNAL HARVEST…’

Personally, this is exceptionally encouraging because the parable Jesus taught about the harvest in the ‘Gospel According to an Inland Revenue Tax-collector’ (see Matthew 13:) prompted my starting to write with ‘The End-game is Now in Play’. [If you’re new here you may like to check this out at 7th Anniversary of Writing, which gives a useful introduction to personal themes that sometimes pop up, as now: ‘God-incidents & Jigsaws’.]

NOW, get ready to find out how eight pieces of an invisible jigsaw came together:

Teamwork - prophetic pieces come together

Bringing prophetic pieces together

Lead-in to EU-Refendum 

The day I blogged about previous Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s prediction of popular opinion about the European Union along the lines what prophet Daniel foresaw (see Daniel chapter 7) we went to Winchester for an evening meeting of intercessors. Our friend Neil Mackereth, whose summary Stay or Leave? was one of the first of many blogs on the EU membership referendum, had mentioned that gathering and we thought it appropriate to attend.

That day I published Vision of Spiritual Battle for Britain’s Birthright in which Veronika West claims to have seen mighty warrior angels in a fierce battle and tug of war over the future destiny and sovereignty of the UK, wherein she saw:

“A Mighty Guardian Angel stood hundreds of feet tall and with eyes of blazing fire: he stood with a raised sword and shield which completely overshadowed the whole Nation of Britain”.

At the evening’s inter-church intercession a couple of folk brought scripture and prayers about our spiritual birthright. Towards the close I referred in passing to the vision of UK’s Guardian Angel but, at the very mention, a couple of sisters were affected so strongly in their spirits they immediately reacted physically. (Like when the Lord spoke to Nina during Trooping of the Colour and she saw the scrolling text: This is MY country!)

Winchester – 1st jigsaw piece

Other than with Neil and convener Caroline, I haven’t yet shared what I’d ‘seen’ throughout the meeting in Winchester Vineyard church. Here’s my email to her:

‘Whilst we stood in a rough circle I kept getting the impression of a huge outline of Britain hazily hovering a foot or so off the floor between us. It was as though we were standing as giants all around and looking down on Britain with our backs turned towards Europe and Scandinavia…

‘I was positioned by the ‘Isle of Wight’ and, after Neil read about Jesus telling Satan to get behind him, I was moved to declare that S in Europe get behind and away from Britain.

‘Also, I saw a huge tear through the ‘map’ and emerge over a larger area (ie North Downs to Scottish borders?) then when I saw a similar but very clear open vision 12 years ago  (https://richards-watch.org/2011/08/18/comments-on-sharon-stone-collapse-of-society/ refers)

This latest was a faint yet persistent, transparent outline of the English, Scottish and Welsh coastline. I noticed it was as though on a large map-table in a ‘situation’ or war-room and we could perhaps be engaged in strategic planning.

At the close of the meeting it suddenly ripped open, as though an immense and invisible tin-opener had pierced and prized open most of the land. I saw torn parts of metal curling upwards along the length of the country north of Salisbury Plain and across from Swindon area to west of London. The colour of the land that was ‘visible’ was an orange-sand all over – how peculiar, thought I.

Referendum Polling Day

In the late 1970’s ‘Sandra’ was blessed with a vision of Britain lighting up, similar to that of Jean Darnall but without knowing about her until later. The Lord directed ‘Sandra’ to keep praying since 2002 because “the tide has turned” and told her it would look as though He’s not answering prayers, “But I am, in my own time and in My own way”. On 23rd June she was able to observe remarkable events at a polling station and informs me:

“I watched God’s miracles unfold – incredible even though I’d prayed for this for many years. There was 80% turnout…queuing at the door before 7am determined to vote as soon as polls opened. All day they came, old people and 1st-time voters, and many in between. Some did not know how to vote but they were determined anyway. I know God would have influenced them in their choice. Some had great physical disabilities and could hardly walk or some had other impairments but they got themselves there somehow. There wasn’t any time for staff to take lunch. It was truly amazing. In the end, whether they acknowledge him or not, all people will serve their Creator. “Your Kingdom’s coming – Salvation Day – a time of breakthrough – the Lord is on His way. Only our God is strong to save. Only our God will save us.” Thank God that we will never completely know the horrors from which we have been saved had the country voted the other way. Thank God that He will, in time, help Europe too.”

All that’s especially so in view of polling day’s unusually heavy storms and flooding!

Peterborough – 2nd, 3rd & 4th jigsaw pieces

Shake the Nations Legacy Conference in Peterborough (covered briefly here) brought developments upon that Winchester vision. During the elevating, prolonged worship of the first evening I sensed a golden-yellow light radiating towards East Anglia and out over the North Sea. (The 2nd piece.)

Funnily enough it was directional and not a full circle – just like we see on radar screens depicting where the radar beam is sweeping. Again it was another map image.

A couple of worship sessions later I had a distinct impression of a map of the UK main-land and again it was like a bright orange sandy beach but this time it was all over, for the huge gap that I’d seen previously had disappeared! Furthermore, I saw a giant hand moving all around the land gently smoothing and patting it. Any signs of ‘cataclysmic’ tear across the nation had been folded back, repaired and healed and covered by what appeared to be a nation-wide field of colour void of any habitations or forestry. (The 3rd piece.)

Then I realised the entire land looks just like an immense field ripe for harvest: all the way from Lands’ End in Cornwall to John O’Groat’s at the top of Scotland and across from the Welsh peninsulars to the eastern coast abutting the North Sea!  It must surely signify all  Britain will soon be harvested for souls coming into the Kingdom of God – their personal salvation! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord that His will will be done on earth – in Britain – as it is in heaven!

This new vision was soon to be confirmed. On the morning STN staff shared their vision for further global evangelism worship leader Lydia Marrow from Alabama suddenly burst into prophetic flow about many towns in the UK erupting with heavenly rivers – the 4th piece!  Also, she called for “Redcoats” (Yankee term for 18th Century British army) to come, which must relate somehow to what the Lord was indicating when Nina saw the Coldstream Guards marching down the Mall for Trooping The Colour. [UPDATE: video and transcript now available.]

aurora-uk_2192580k_Image credit Telegraph

I’d drafted most of the preceding paragraphs as soon as I could on Wednesday morning. As I was doing so yet more pieces to the jigsaw puzzle appeared via my PC. Whyever not?  Many times as I blog relevant email, news or songs have turned up ‘coincidentally’ . After all, the Lord taught me a deep lesson whilst building it (see And Now A PC Gospel?)

Angels in Peterborough – 5th & 6th jigsaw pieces

Now for an excellent example of the Lord’s timing, or ‘God-incidence’. Soon after I started writing about Winchester an email arrived from a couple with whom I’m only occasionally in touch. We’d met Peter and Rosamund D at the gathering of early 2012 mentioned in the post about the new PM’s mission fulfilling a 2005 prophecy (see Fulfilled Prophecies #9).  [‘Weirdly’ enough the distance to that venue in Torquay was another validation of my encounter with the Lord in 1989 as well as of prophecies for 2012, as recounted here.]

Their email is headed ‘Vision on 3rd August 2016 at Faith Camp Peterborough (!!) during the prophetic worship’ and is the 5th piece. It reads:

‘Immediately the prophetic worship started on Wednesday evening, I had an awesome vision.

‘My husband and I both heard a “creaking” sound!  The Lord said, “I have opened the ancient gates to the nation!”  Then I saw millions upon millions of warrior angels arrive through these ancient gates.  They were all dressed for battle and close together in formation.  Then I saw a great light, as the Lord Himself arrived.’

Immediately I stopped blogging and, in view of the 6th piece – a dream I’d had that very morning (Wednesday), I could confirm their vision and replied as follows:

‘Had an awesomely powerful dream that woke me up wide-awake. It was multi-level symbolism and conscious learning with continual and intense praying and prophesying in tongues for UK. In essence, I think it means the Lord is empowering intercessors…to declare and prophesy Godly changes into our leaders and situations, thereby taking our heavenly rulership so that His will will now be done on earth as it is in heaven; ie. for and in Britain. He even gave me an understanding of how His purpose for Britain inspired Henry VIII’s building a naval fleet, thereby preparing for our great maritime power in evangelising globally and building a Christian empire.
‘…the most powerful part was when I saw swing-doors/gates closing against what was coming from the heavenly realm YET the power from heaven continued to pour through mightily!!’

Peter replied, “We are encountering one divine set-up after another!”

Therefore, intercessors may want to note those principles of prophetic declarations. [For more see Mentoring Day parts 1 & 2 and Apostolic, Prophetic Decrees Over The UK.]

Prophetic Word from Oz – 7th jigsaw piece

Taking a break later that day I mulled over hard-copies of long prophetic words that I only have time for quickly scanning on-screen. One was Word for the Nations, including UK from Amanda Wells, now shown in Thursday’s post.

It confirmed that insight into Henry VIII’s fleet by Amanda’s referring to August trade winds having “enabled the European empire to expand into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans…Historically trade routes were the avenue were the avenue where religion, trade and technology spread across regions…many became paths for great revivals also…”

The ‘Now Word’ for UK – 8th jigsaw piece

Today (Thursday) I decided to scroll through Veronika West’s site as my Facebook blog-page doesn’t get any automatic feeds from those I’m interested in. So I caught up with her post of 5th August, as above, wherein she describes seeing “A large field of corn – the harvest looked ready”, rather like the UK-wide golden ripe field in my third map vision described above.

All of this relates back to 2009 when I had to tell friends and church leaders about Matt 13 parable of wheat and tares and that I’d heard, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”

Conclusion

To those personal eight pieces we could add the original that ‘kick started’ them, the vision of a spiritual battle given to Veronika and that to Yinka of regional awakening and harvest.

Could our heavenly Father like doing jigsaw puzzles with us? Has He got a jigsaw box ‘Souls Harvest’ and does He want us to help Him solve it and put it all together?  Events and evidence suggest that’s what He’s got and would like us to do – so we thank and praise our Heavenly Father in revealing His plans to His sons and daughters.

Amanda Wells: Word for the Nations, including New Britain

Some details of this word confirm a dream of yesterday morning that I’d had before reading this. I’ll refer to the dream in tomorrow’s next post:

World In Fire by Danilo Rizzuti

Amanda WellsWORD OF THE LORD FOR THE NATIONS, INCLUDING UK 

As I was in worship last weekend in church, I saw two massive angels standing each side of our stage.  They were seraphim … fiery angels, their body was full of fire. One was called Awaken and the other Wisdom.

Awaken and Wisdom

Awaken suddenly said, “I’m awakening, I’m awakening”, and then seemed to exhale and a massive wind that went forth into every Nation.

I then heard him say “I am blowing an August Trade Wind on the Body of Christ”.

Wisdom cried out “I am releasing wonders in this season, and the body of Christ will be known as sages, and have the ability to interpret and exhibit wonders and miracles in this hour”.

August Trade Winds

As I stood in the encounter I heard the Lord say,

“The August Trade Winds are upon you”.

The August winds, or Trade Winds have always been used by Captains of sea vessels for centuries. They enabled the European Empire to expand into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.  Trade winds also transport African dust westward across the Atlantic Ocean. I sense that there is Kingdom movement of trade, economy and missionaries that will come from Northern Africa across the Atlantic, which will begin to bring awakening in Nations.

Historically trade routes were the avenue where religion, trade and technology spread across regions. These routes became a great source of wealth and built Empires. Many of these Trade Routes became paths for great revivals also.

I sense that as an awakening is blowing over lands particularly in the month of August, we are going to see increased activity in the marketplace. God is raising up and awakening Kingdom business men. God created man in His image, so man has amazing creativity to be fruitful and multiply to fulfill our mandate. Kingdom businessmen are being awakened to new visions, missions and strategies and they will be evidenced by new innovations, inventions and their policies, procedures and culture that encourages godly values.

God is awakening the Josephs with strategies to impress even Pharaoh, and He is awakening the Daniels who will be able to cut through all the worlds talk and interpret the governing wisdom of God for Nations in this season.

The wind of awakening has blown and is blowing upon Nations this month, and we will see the USA, United Kingdom, the Commonwealth Nations, European Nations, and even the African continent have greater authority and create policies that increase trade and wealth.

Wisdom for Wonders

There is an Awakening that will go beyond any other awakening seen in the earth today. There is a wisdom that is being released with the wonders that we will begin to see, as we step into realms of the supernatural power of God. Wisdom is removing the veil from eyes so we are able to see what God sees, and as our perspective changes, the impossible realm becomes the realm of the naturally possible!

There are encounters beginning like the encounter on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2 v 2- 3

‘Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.’

The House of God is about to be filled and awakened with wind and fire, and with it, wonders, signs and miracles are exploding from within to without!

The church is awakening and as she awakens the marketplace will be transformed and reformed.

On EU-Referendum Day: Britain: Reformation Is Coming With A Far Greater Glory

[World In Fire by Danilo Rizzuti courtesy Freedigitalphotos.net]

Revealing the Sons of God

Thank you Mike for such a good reminder of a vital part of our following in Jesus’ footsteps. It is timely too in tandem with this morning’s dream that awoke me into being fully alert, because it was one of the most awesome and powerful dreams I’ve had since He rescued me from satan’s domain. And it enables me to confirm Mike’s remarks on heavenly realms per Galatians 4

Freedom ARC's avatarSons of Issachar

Mike Parsons

RevealingWe are all on a journey from slavery to sonship, and those two conditions are very different. Slavery breeds a poverty spirit, fear and lack of identity; sonship breeds faith, identity, resources and responsibility.

Empower a slave and it leads to rebellion, betrayal and treason, as with Israel in the wilderness. They were given freedom and responsibility, but they showed no loyalty to God or to Moses because they still had a mindset of slavery (see Exodus 15-17, 32, Numbers 21). On the other hand, restrict a son and it will hinder creativity. When someone knows who they are, God can inspire them to release their own creativity into His creation.

So we have to be careful not to empower people who don’t know who they are nor to restrict those who do. We need to put things in place which will help sons come into the…

Monday morning newsmix: Iran – exposure of deceit…

Hand with News icon - WatcharakunOne of my browser’s home page tabs covers World Watch Daily and after a weekend offline, except for the vital Vision Over Britain, I find these chronological headlines since Thursday:

Hmm, interesting – claim and counter-claim. Or, lie versus truth?

In May’s closing days I asked Is the Lord Exposing Rotten Politics? UK/USA – next EU? and so a week later “The Cat’s Out of the Bag!” on the last. And recently the IMF admits disastrous love affair with Euro and apologises for immolation of Greece!

And don’t forget the stunning prophetic paragraph from 2013 that got unearthed on the day David Cameron announced his earlier-than-expected resignation (Fulfilled Prophecy #8):

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

What makes you think we may not have seen the end of the Lord’s promised action…? First the UK and next the USA…

A vision over this new nation

In view of its importance, as well as confirming other visions, please see this posting from Yinka Oyekan’s facebook via UK Prophetic Words received today :

A Vision Over the Nation

As I drove into Liverpool to preach at Frontline the Lord gave me this revelation:….

“Have you not understood it is time for harvest and so I have placed Theresa in a position of prominence, her name means harvester and she will, for a time of reaping is at hand. It is my will and good pleasure to bless this land and so, get ready to reap. I am releasing an army of evangelists in the United Kingdom; can’t you see it? I will sweep though this land”.

I saw Liverpool rising from the ashes looking like a bride adorned. And I heard the Lord say, Continue reading

Britain and Brexit: a word on the why and wherefore – Awakening!

Thank you to UK Prophetic Words for this significant confirmatory word from Heidi Mitchell received today:

BRITAIN AND BREXIT

God’s been speaking to me a lot about Brexit, which I knew nothing about before I came to the UK. And He gave me a Word, He said

“This has been by My Sovereign hand that the vote went the way it did, I am safeguarding Britain for when Europe falls. Europe is being shaken, and will fall. It will fall, says God, but Britain has separated itself, and because of this vote, the UK will not fall. It will be like in the days when Joseph was in Egypt. Like Egypt was to the world, so Britain will become to the world in years to come. Once again Britain will become the Bread Basket to many countries, and a place of safety, and a place of provision. And it’s been an answer to the call of My Saints, who have prayed faithfully and said ‘Lord protect us and save us’.”

That’s why it happened. There were people who cried out and said Lord would you heal Britain, would you hear our cry, and He did. So even though it goes beyond some people’s understanding, God says He is safeguarding Britain through this vote. God is asking a people of faith to get behind this. Believe that He’s answered a cry of prayer. And even though it can’t be understood fully right now, God is going to show His great hand and what He’s done, and we’re going to thank Him and praise Him for this, because there’s a victory that has come out of this and is coming. He’s establishing Britain as a leader once again. He’s awakening the sleepers, the ones who’ve been asleep spiritually He’s awakening. The army is rising up, God is raising up His body in this nation, with power. (Emphasis RB)

Puzzle - Jannoon028

UPDATE – see Japan Times Future of Globalism Stands at a Crossroads

Notes:
  • Along with email notification of this word this morning’s in-tray also included a couple from this blog of comments from Sally and Angela about sensing over the past few months that a ‘sleeping giant’ has woken up and is about to arise! (see Visions of New Britain’s Natural and Spiritual Revival – 1).
  • These are strongly reminiscent of a picture a friend shared at the 2012 Torquay conference referred to in the previous post. It is included in this blog’s Library and although not directly relevant to the EU Referendum it plainly speaks of the Lord’s action and plans directly associated with ‘Brexit’. Lyn F described it as follows:
  • “When in Cornwall had very strong  impression as if I was positioned at the south-west of Cornwall looking at the land mass of England, Scotland and Wales from the air.  In a moment I saw rising up from Scotland first, like the lid of a container with the hinge being at the extreme end of Cornwall, the “Body of Christ”.  Impressed that the ‘Body’ is everywhere and there are people ‘hidden’ who are so much part of it. I was then taken aback by the thought that it appeared to be like a sleeping giant rising up powerfully and suddenly.  The experience left me with hope and anticipation for what God would do in spite of how things appeared.” 
  • In this connection also see Tommy Hicks’ vision 1961.

Fulfilled Prophecy #9 – PM May’s personal mission predicted in 2005 Vision for Britain

New Prime Minister’s personal mission foretold by Father God in 2005 and its timing for Spring-Autumn 2016 revealed in 2013

STelegraph 31July16Don’t normally have time for a Sunday newspaper but when this front-page banner headline grabbed my attention I grabbed a copy. Scanning its body whilst queuing to pay, I noticed its direct relevance to an incredible prophetic word from the Lord to Chuck Pierce in 2013 – one with a specific timing for fulfillment in this year, 2016! – and which I’d I nearly omitted in the final part of Fulfilled Prophecy #8 for the sake of brevity!  (So pleased I got a firm ‘mental check’ and didn’t do that!)

The news reference is to the abolition of human trafficking of all kinds, against which I’ve often heard Dr Sharon Stone strongly encouraging political involvement. (The first time I recall was in January 2012 at a conference we attended in Torquay. It was led by Patricia King from XP Ministries, Maricopa, Arizona, who spoke about her ministry’s missionary work in Cambodia against sex-trafficking.) Continue reading

Visions of New Britain’s natural and spiritual renewal – #2

This came on Saturday as a subscription item from UK Prophetic Words and was listed in my in-tray very close to Angela Jelf’s email (see previous post). The original is by John Wunderlich and dated the day before her ‘vision’. Angela’s reaction upon my informing her – “Oh wow! I am kind of speechless…Some striking similarities here! What a wonderful word!”  It reads: Continue reading

Visions of New Britain’s natural and spiritual renewal – #1

cruise0131

On return after the long weekend I found two emails about similar visions of great blessing upon the land and people now we’re being freed from the shackles of slavery to the EU. This from Angela Jelf was sent on Friday morning:

‘Thought I would email you about an experience (or series of God-incidences) I had on Monday. Whilst driving I was singing along to a Bethel Worship CD.  ONE of the songs on the album is instrumental so I began to sing out my own song to God. It became a prophetic prayer over Britain. As I sang, I saw in my mind’s eye a map of the British Isles, and suddenly, from the south and going upwards into the North, I saw flowers springing up all over the place and beginning to unfurl their petals, just like in those films you sometimes see that have been speeded up. (Heard a prophecy about things happening quickly recently…what would have taken seven years will take seven months and what would have taken seven months will take seven days.)

I felt this was to do with our coming away from the EU and that something has/or will begin to change in the UK. The land will bloom and blossom once again as we are cut off from a kind of spiritual ‘shade’ that’s been over us.  It was a beautiful picture which reminded me of The Secret Garden, where the locked up garden has fallen into neglect and the children find the key to the door and begin to clear away the branches and the brambles and leaves and let the light back in.

As I kept singing I began to declare that as a prophetic sign we would begin to see and hear reports of an increase in all sorts of wildlife that hasn’t been seen in years – I particularly sensed and called out an increase in butterflies, birds and beetles.
Before going to bed on Monday night, I felt intrigued. Had there been a decline in British Wildlife in recent years?  Curiously I typed into Google “UK wildlife in decline over last 40 years” (I typed 40 yrs deliberately knowing we’ve been EU members for roughly 40 yrs) & to my surprise I found report after report. Yes, there has been a hugely significant decline in wildlife – specifically butterflies and birds and specifically over the last 40 years!
The Essex Skipper, the Small Heath, The Wall butterfly, the Marsh Fritillary, and many others have experienced up to a 76 percent decline in abundance or occurrence over last four decades (according to an article on the Butterfly Conservation Website, dated 14 Dec, 2015).

It’s the same sad story with birds: Willow Tits, Turtle doves, Cuckoos, Starlings, Lapwings and Grey Partridges falling into ‘shocking’ decline over past forty years, not to mention the sparrow.

When I saw the Turtle Dove mentioned, I had a feeling it was a bird found in scripture. I fell asleep thinking: ” I think it’s in Song of Solomon”.
In the morning I woke up early and grabbed my Bible and found the reference: (I could hardly believe how apt it was!)’

“Arise my darling, my beautiful one, and come along,
For behold, the winter is past and the rain is over and gone,
The flowers have already appeared in the land,
The time has arrived for the pruning of the vines,
And the voice of the Turtledove has been heard in our land
The fig tree has ripened its figs,
And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance”

Butterfly‘I immediately relayed this experience to my mum, and she in turn shared it at her prayer group. ONE of the members of the prayer group got in touch the very next day to say that whilst she was telling her husband about my experience, a butterfly flew into her conservatory and remained there all afternoon.’ (As shown.)

Also, that sister in the Lord had received an exceptionally helpful quotation of the Song of Solomon (The Passion Translation). Angela continues:

‘I know this is a long story but I am convinced that God is going to do this! Listen out for reports over the next few years of an increase in butterflies and birds! And keep praying/declaring that Britain will be freed from the entangling branches of the EU. I believe He will restore the years the locusts have eaten and Great Britain will once again flourish in abundance!’

Yesterday, seeking Angela’s permission to publish I told her the other incoming email has a new prophetic word on Britain and which confirms what she’s saying! 

Meanwhile, today’s inspiration from Glasgow Prophetic Centre re-affirms both visions:

God’s Glory In Everything – Lion Bites Tues 26th July

Don’t wait for the rare and mighty explosions of power but see that my power is manifest all around you! It is not only in the mighty signs that you will find me but my power and glory is in manifest in you and all around you.

Let me open your eyes to see the wonder in every moment today, the intricacies of life that surround you. When you really look you will see the glory that I have deposited in other people. Also, notice my glory in the food that grows and finds itself to your table, rejoice in the glory that is revealed by the sun rising every day and in the wild flowers by the road side.

Be still, open your heart, allow me to reveal my glory – not just in the explosions but even in the gentlest of ways.

Psalm 19:1 – The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. 

Fulfilled prophecy #8: part 3 – timing, purpose and outcome of Britain’s spiritual battle

Another piece of The Invisible Jigsaw is put into place

The prophecy in question is the one opening Part 1 (PM resigns in battle for Britain) and which is dated 2013 – BUT it’s just one portion of an ‘incredible prophecy’, as so titled by The Elijah List. And that was from just one prophet way beyond the far side of the ‘Pond’! Another prophet on this side was soon to receive specific timing of fulfillment from the Lord, as revealed below.

To recap, that portion of the first prophecy amazingly predicts changes – even falls – within governments; as happened here last month!

In Part 2 (Warning of fierce spiritual battle) we considered a new revelation upon our enemy’s strategy to block application of ‘EU-get-out-clause’ Article 50, as received by a prolific third prophet, Veronika West.

The three are undoubtedly the most profoundly pertinent prophecies it’s been my privilege to write about, and I’m sure you can grasp the enormity of the situation!

THE CLOCK KEPT TICKING

The material in Parts 1 and 2 kept buzzing around in my mind two weekends ago. But I needed to dig into some background upon the long-standing spiritual battle. In checking by ‘happen-chance’ earlier material on this blog I found a link no longer worked – but I didn’t have time to correct it. But I got nudged into doing so – and then it was as though the Lord handed me a jigsaw piece! And it’s one I immediately knew referred to what was politically happening that very day – Monday 11th July 2016. I was ‘God-smacked’!

And so I quoted that espied paragraph as the Part 1’s tantalising opening. In that first draft I’d started writing about the early background but then omitted it from publication in order to focus upon the startling part. I’d written the following:

chuckpierce[1]‘Prophetic groups and intercessors learned about a symbolic vision of swords in the sky seen over London by Chuck Pierce on 29th May 2005 (see page 2 here). He distinctly heard before the July 2005 bomb outrages on London Transport from the Lord about “A season of war”!

‘This spiritual warfare footing has continued and was referred to by Dr Sharon Stone when bringing a clarion call to England for 2014-16 not to miss the time of our Visitation. This would clearly include the present situation of leaving the EU and where Britain is heading…’

I was then going to dig into that 3-part post on Britain and quote Sharon’s prophecy on the present battle BUT got waylaid by breaking news about the new Prime Minister Mrs May being a strong supporter of Israel. So that got priority for my circulating the news by email.

Upon returning to my task with that missing link I was given the ‘jigsaw piece’ in a new link to that prophetic word Chuck Pierce brought. Although apparently about the USA it does, in fact, accurately describe the past month’s events in the UK (as told in Part 1).

As linked in this blog’s Library, the first part of the word came in June 2013, followed by more on 7th Sept 2013 – but its present relevance hit me on Monday 11th July 2016. It reads as below (emphases as original but text relating to 2016 shown red – click title for The Elijah List version):

Clock from 4Signposts

“Hear The Clock Ticking! You’ve Been Catapulted into the Three Years Ahead!”

‘I know that so many of you have enjoyed watching the webcast replays from our Head of the Year 5774. Below is some of the prophetic revelation that came forth during our gatherings. Let this be a time you are propelled into your future and press through every gate of destiny!

The Kingdoms of this Earth Are Becoming My Kingdoms!

“Hear the clock ticking, for I have now catapulted you into the three years ahead.

“This month [September], the dearest of My months, I am moving you against gates that have never been moved against before. I am causing these gates that have withstood you in the past to come loose and open in days ahead! Move strategically day-by-day and month-by-month until the gate that has held back your blessing opens up. If you will move now, within the next three years the land you find yourself in will be producing great treasures.

In the third year, the War of the Kingdoms will begin, and Kingdom will rise against kingdoms. The kingdoms of this world will also come into great conflict. I have a Kingdom that I am preparing. I will remember this Kingdom and the Seed and the Seed’s seed of this Kingdom. I have a Kingdom that will triumph!

Shout that the kingdoms of this earth are becoming My Kingdoms! Decree that the prisoners will be let go and they will come back to My house; this is a season when My altar will be filled! I’m going to open your eyes to those around you, and you’re going to say, ‘They’re of a different kingdom.’ And I will say to you, ‘They are Mine! Bring them in now!’

“Beyond the gates, I am opening up new highways. I am beginning a highway out of Egypt! I will redo the highway that you’re presently walking on.

“The demons that have been trafficking and even creating trafficking throughout the earth, I Am now going to un-nest their headquarters. That which the enemy meant to destroy through trafficking, I will raise up as an unstoppable army in the days ahead, for that generation will be My generation! I call you, ‘My Army that is Unstoppable!’ I call you, ‘My Kingdom Swarm,’ and you shall invade the kingdoms of the earth. You shall extract that which is needed and you will bring it into My Kingdom.

“I will surprise you with the leaders of nations. I have ways to cause leaders that have been promoted to bow their knees. You will think they’re going one way, but you watch Me knock the feet out from under them; you watch them see Me in a way they’ve never seen Me before! (The ‘jigsaw piece’ used in Part 1 – all emphasis mine.)

Make ‘favor’ with those that come onto your highway. Many of you will say, ‘But they have evil character.’ Just remember, I can cause every Pharaoh in this land and the lands that you’re a part of to favor you in days ahead!

“You’ll hear of shakings from north to west! You’ll hear that I have come from Alaska to Maine to shake. But know this: I will shake the center of this nation called the United States of America. I will cause that which has been hidden and controlling the forces of this land to shake down!

“A new baptism I’ll give you, and My very finger I will place in My people’s keeping. When you point your finger, demons will flee!

“In this year of honey, I will cause a new hunger to arise throughout the lands for My Word. And where you have known My Word in the past, you will taste and see My Word in a different way!”

NB: the ‘THIRD YEAR’, or ‘THREE YEARS LATER’, is 2016!  Therefore, let’s consider the more specific dating from the other prophet as given here in the UK:

PROPHETIC WORDS FOR 2014 – 2016

Note very carefully what Revd Dr Sharon Stone brought for Britain, which may seem to be an addendum to Chuck’s for she was expressing consensus of prophetical agreement. In closing her clarion call of early October 2013, Sharon continued hearing from the Lord:

Rev Dr Sharon Stone, courtesy CIE“Now God says the battles are going to be in Great Britain. Let me tell you why I believe its going to be here: where there are great battles there are great victories!

“So God’s not saying: I’m choosing you as a place of war, I’m choosing you as a place of conflict because I don’t like you – No! The Lord says,

“I’M CHOOSING YOU AS A PLACE FOR VICTORY SO THAT THE VICTORY WON HERE HAS AN ABILITY TO BE A VICTORY THAT AFFECTS OTHER NATIONS!”

“Do you hear this? Not just for England, or for Great Britain. So what God is doing is He’s setting up His own agenda that we might have a victory here that releases us to deliver other nations, and puts us back into a functioning position of where our true identity is.

“And we’re not talking about something that takes ten years to come to pass any more (as with other things), but we’re talking about the next two-and-a-half to three years! Those who have ears let them hear!”

[For complete transcript see Prophetic Words for 2014-2016 for UK and Ireland.]

That is, Sharon prophesied in October 2013 about serious issues during April to October THIS year – the latter month is when a decision upon activating Article 50 is expected!

Selah!

When transcribing Sharon’s message three years ago I wondered what may be coming and confronting us. Would it be the serious threat of terrorist attacks or/and the antichrist spirit that empowers humanism – especially its vanguard units within the European Union monster?

Her prediction’s timing is remarkable in clearly relating the ‘battle’ as being with the British government’s ‘project fear’ and deep hostility from others to the EU referendum’s result, and now the possibility of preventing Article 50’s application for leaving the EU.

Moreover, it’s yet another prophetic reason for affirming that Brexit is an ‘Act of God’, and one that seriously challenges established churches and clergy mindsets!

Therefore, let’s ponder afresh both prophetic statements in the light of recent events and praise the Lord in leading and sharing his plans with His servants the prophets…

Fulfilled prophecy #8: part 2 – warning of fierce spiritual battle

Continuing from Part 1 on Britain’s new leadership and ongoing politico-spiritual battle:

Puzzle in sky - Idea goFOUR weeks ago this morning the heavens opened up and drenched London and south east England, leading to some localised flooding. Despite the inundation there was a most surprising, record turnout to vote on the UK’s membership in the European Union.

The tables were turned on the government’s ‘Remain’ camp with tumultuous turmoil like a tidal wave across the British and European political spectrum.

Who’d have thought four weeks later we have a new Prime Minister and a wisely chosen Cabinet who are preparing to loose the UK’s moorings and make ‘full-steam ahead’ away from the EU. In fact, the lady-in-charge, Theresa May stood with her predecessor David Cameron’s campaign for Britain to Remain but has now done an “About-turn!”

Verinoka West FbkA fortnight ago the Lord impressed upon Simon Braker and Veronika West the most urgent necessity of intercessory prayer against the spiritual forces strongly contending against His will being done by Britain leaving the EU.

Simon_Braker-147x150This came in the midst of the many profoundly encouraging words and visions from the Lord about the new things He’s doing and bringing us into. It’s as though He’s hearing and will soon respond to intercessory repentance on behalf of our grossly rebellious sinfulness. (Recommended reading: The Daniel Prayer; Prayer that Moves Heaven and Changes Nations by Anne Graham-Lotz – Billy Graham’s daughter.)

Two weeks ago today three Davids emailed me stressing what Veronika had received the previous day, Wednesday 6th July, namely.:

AN URGENT WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM

WATCH! A FIERCE BATTLE RAGES OVER ACTIVATION OF ARTICLE 50

This afternoon the Holy Spirit stopped me in my tracks and spoke these words to me,

“Daughter Watch! For there is a fierce battle raging over the Activation of  ‘Article 50’ in this hour”!!

At first I did not understand what I was hearing but as I began to prayer and intercede the Holy Spirit immediately began to reveal to me the powerful significance of the Number 50 and how it directly and prophetically correlates with ‘Article 50’ being activated in our Nation which will bring to completion our Exit from the EU.

The following scripture was quickened to me by the Holy Spirit, “That fiftieth year shall be a JUBILEE to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. (Leviticus 25:11)

Prophetically Fifty (50) is the number of JUBILEE or DELIVERANCE. The number Fifty (50) points us to completion, deliverance and total restoration following seven cycles of seven years.

In Leviticus 25:8-55, we see special instruction given in the fiftieth year. It was a key prophetic time and season for the Israelites to celebrate, rejoice and be jubilant. The fiftieth (50) year is known as the Year of Jubilee when the Israelites were told to “proclaim liberty throughout all the land.”

I believe Here is one of our first instructions as a praying Nation in this hour; WE NEED TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND.

In the fiftieth (50) Year Debts were considered paid in full, slaves were released and the land was returned to the proper owners.

Here is our second instruction in this hour; AS A NATION WE NEED TO PROCLAIM DEBTS PAID IN FULL, RELEASE TO THOSE HELD IN CAPTIVITY AND THAT LAND WOULD BE RETURNED TO THE PROPER OWNERS IN THIS HOUR AND SEASON OF JUBILEE…!

According to the Jewish calendar we have Prophetically entered into the “Year of Jubilee and Deliverance”.

In this Nation there is a battle that is raging over our Jubilee and Deliverance in this hour, I submit that Satan has endeavoured to cause a delay and many detours in ‘Article 50’ from being activated because he knows that as soon as this happens as Nation will see the FULL MANIFESTATION OF OUR JUBILEE, DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION COMING TO PASS.

THIS MUST BE OUR DECLARATION IN THIS HOUR; This is the Year of Jubilee for people of the United Kingdom, we will be liberated, restored and reformed.

God wants the people of this Great Nation to be FREE, FRUITFUL AND FULLY RESTORED, Jesus spoke these words: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim RELEASE to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind to set FREE those who are downtrodden, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:8-9).

Therefore, “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there IS liberty!” (2 Corinthians 3:17)

Let us Pray, Decree and Declare that every weapon of delay, division and diversion formed by the enemy over ‘Article 50’ from being activated would be rendered powerless and ineffective.

Simon Braker responds as follows on Facebook. (Thank you Suzanne Payne of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival):

This is the word of the Lord. I’ve had a growing burden over the last few days that the there is an attack against our nation’s independence and that the vote has had a massive impact on the enemy’s plans for Europe not just the UK. We must pray for God’s perfect will to be done, I sense if the vote was overturned there will be unrest in the UK at a level none or at least few of us have ever seen
Pray Pray Pray!..

And speak blessing over the UK and do not post or like anything that is dishonouring it’s a demonic place to deepen the hurts! We must lay aside our own wants and stand as one!

If you’re unfamiliar with the many inspirational words received by Veronika West visit her Facebook page or, if unable to use that media, some appear on UK Prophetic Words.

The other words she brought on strengthening of the prophetic during first week of July mirror what was happening that week at Shake The Nation’s Legacy Conference. I was blessed that Nathan Morris put his hand on me whilst preaching and decreed, “Release!”. The final session included awe-filled worship then lengthy silence as we touched heaven.

On the conference middle day worship leader Lydia Marrow went into powerful prophecy on what she was seeing. This was similar to what I’d been seeing since the first night of worship – and it confirmed the live-broadcast action that sparked Nina into being struck by Holy Spirit during Trooping the Colour.

However, home events prevented my covering that material from Veronika on Thursday; in particular, because that from Charlie Shamp took precedence as I’d been looking for something new from him the previous day. And sure enough, in came his latest: The Lion Has Roared And The Eagle Will Fly.

UPDATE ON ARTICLE 50

The above prophetic word encourages intercessors to take seriously the vital importance of  Article 50 being applied for formal talks to start on Britain leaving the EU. Therefore, this section presents brief excerpts/quotes with links for further information.

Full Fact, the UK’s independent fact-finding charity, presents a few questions and answers about Article 50 in Ask Full Fact: Brexit in Court. The first answer explains:

‘A number of different people are challenging the way in which the PM plans to implement the referendum vote to leave the European Union. Their claims are about whether Parliament needs to pass legislation before the UK can leave. The High Court decided today that these claims should be heard together in October.

Legal Cheek brings ‘impartial news about the law and the legal profession in the UK with punchy commentary’. In a 16 minutes exclusive interview, leading legal commentator Joshua Rozenberg shares his analysis of this issue. Legal Cheek’s covering note says early signs are, ‘activation of Article 50 won’t be blocked — but anything is possible — rumours are flying fast around legal London about whether this claim by a hairdresser could block Brexit…constitutional implications of this decision could be enormous.’  (Thank you Jonathan Ely at Why Leave The EU?).

During yesterday’s joint press conference with Mrs Theresa May, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel is reported to have said Britain is right to “wait a moment” before beginning the formal process of leaving the EU. Also, that we are entitled to “carefully consider” our position before invoking Article 50, which triggers formal exit talks. (Telegraph 21 July front page: Merkel warns May not to rush into leaving Europe).

On page 5 of Monday’s Telegraph in I can block UK exit from Europe, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is reported as conceding to BBC One’s Andrew Marr that she can dictate the timing of a British exit. On Friday, Prime Minister Theresa May had said she won’t trigger Article 50 until all the devolved nations of the UK agree.

So there’s plenty to pray about and bring before the Lord – and to watch what happens!

In Part 3 we will look at the 3 years-old prophecies about this battle and why it makes Britain special in the Lord’s purposes.

Prophetic vision of a great shaking coming to New Britain

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Prince Yinka Oyekan, 16th July 2016

Notes:

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

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

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

Let it be so Lord…

Thoroughly drunk and rolling around the streets at 7am

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New Britain: a real reformation and greater glory coming

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

BRITAIN: REFORMATION IS COMING WITH A FAR GREATER GLORY!

As I was in Italy when the UK voted to leave the European Union, and I awoke to the words, Continue reading

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

Lion_Eagle

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rainbow over Westminster…

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

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

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

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

The Lord has cut the scorpion’s sting!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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