“OPEN up the gates!” decree and prophetic word for the UK

Posted on Wednesday, 4 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

The following came to my attention soon after it was published by SOAR Prophetic International on 25th September. As would be expected, this prophetic word brought by Rebecca King is in harmony with other recent exhortations from Father’s heart for the British Isles. Rebecca is founding director of this Canadian and British international prophetic resource group and writes:

WORD FOR GREAT BRITAIN

I saw a release of angels coming towards us carrying supernatural energy to combat what I can only describe as complacency…. a slumber has come upon people in many cases and opened a door to complacency – which in turn has let in a difficult fatigue and with it a tendency towards laziness. At this point, I felt everything in me speak the command ‘open up the gates’ and at the sound of my voice and the strength of the command, heavy doors flew open. Even in the natural the weight of the doors would prevent this. God is up to something.

I felt the Lord saying to leaders,

“Beware of locking yourself into your own plans and putting community and other leaders on the back burner” (emphasis added).

Priorities will only bear good fruit when they are God’s priorities, and alignment with Sovereign priorities will bring into your storehouse what your heart is longing for – not necessarily sticking to your agenda. His agenda must remain in front and centre for His Kingdom to be established.

This is not a season to ‘maintain. It is a time to put one foot in front of the other and go ahead. Steadily. Do not miss a step – keep in time with the heartbeat of heaven. God is opening ears and bringing a fresh sensitivity to this heartbeat and it will determine they rhythm for you to follow and walk with.

I ‘see’ the Lord handing out white envelopes containing a single piece of paper with the words ‘All Clear’ written on it. These words ‘All Clear’, are words some of you have been waiting to hear but they don’t only relate to physical health. Holy Spirit is saying that the way forward – up to this point blocked by rubble and baggage – has been opened up.

Do not be afraid of what you ‘think you see’ and do not rationalise your situation – it just may stop you from doing exactly what Holy Spirit is asking of you at this time. The word being handed to you in the envelope is ALL CLEAR – and that is the declaration that will move you forward.

I also ‘see’ men and women standing together, dressed in a similar fashion – which shows me a willingness to work and to be together. But unusually, all of the trousers (that each person is wearing) are far too short. Everyone’s – across the board. Not one of them is right. I sense that Holy Spirit is saying that there is an invitation to step into new clothes, of a different size and style for the times ahead. What fit last year is going to make you look silly this year and so the invitation is given to you now. I see a man standing beside all of these men and women, with a tape measure in his hand and a pair of scissors as well and straight pins. Holy Spirit is ‘at the ready’ to get the job done and get you clothed properly. All that is required of you is that you make yourselves vulnerable – in the presence of your peers. Holy Spirit will meet you there and make the necessary adjustments.

So to recap……a choice and a war against complacency, a stepping aside from everything that locks us into our own world and own plans. A great declaration of All Clear’ and a redressing in order to be fully prepared for the new say.

(Click above title for original post and comments. As with all prophetic words, this is for discernment and weighing against scripture and with the Lord. Rebecca’s reference to ‘complacency’ reminds me of Dr Stone‘s explicit warning of the same in her ‘clarion call’ of October 2013 not to miss our day of visitation – Prophetic words for 2014-16 for UK & Ireland: part 2 refers.)

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.

Angelic reveille over the British Isles cont’d – fresh wind globally

Posted on Monday, 2 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

This continues Patsy Southway’s prophetic dream she published on PICK Ministries as Great Britain – Angels of Wake Up! and which is reposted on this blog here. A week later Patsy writes:

Following on from my first blog regarding the Angels of Wake Up published on the 22nd August, as I was sensing that there would be a ‘part two’ this is what was released to me during the week while I joined others hungry for more of God.

God reminded me of the Angels of Wake Up and then in an open vision showed me a HUGE clock.

There were so many parts to this clock, from tiny cogs to very, very large wheels. Near the base of this clock was a large circular piece, a movement, that was swaying clockwise – anti-clockwise, clockwise then anti-clockwise in that rhythm. I found myself physically moving with the rhythm of this HUGE clock. Tick tock – tick tock – tick tock. Then I began singing a little prophetic jingle – Tick tock, tick tock, it’s time to STOP, it’s time to stop, anything that’s not in God’s Rhythm!

Anything that’s out of His timing, out of His rhythm, will cause this huge clock to malfunction. I could then see the disorder that comes when we’re not flowing with Him.

FRESH WIND

As I continued to admire this beautiful HUGE clock, I felt a fresh wind coming and bringing with it a SETTING IN ORDER of that which is out-of-sync. I also saw a REPOSITIONING of many people in preparation for something much bigger that’s coming!

Then God showed me a map of His World. In several places, in different nations, I could see people on trains and buses being brought to a halt! Masses of people getting off transport and wondering what to do? Where to go? At the onset of these happenings there is total chaos. This reminded me of the current refugee crisis in Europe, but I sensed that these were people ‘in general’ just going about their business on their way to work, etc.

It was as though someone had switched off the power for commuting!! Trains and buses coming to a halt!!

FEAR NOT

As I’m seeing this, wondering what’s going to happen…….SUDDENLY Heaven comes down. There is calm, there is peace, there is order, there is organisation, there is MULTIPLICATION (previous blog) of food, of water, of life!! Because the LIFE-GIVER has come!

Whatever chaos, whatever strategies and plans the enemy has dreamed up, our God, our Father, is SINGING over us. He releases LIFE – PURPOSE – DESTINY!

As Father has released these Angels of Wake Up to the United Kingdom, and I believe in other NATIONS also, (in particular, America) placing them in strategic places; awakening the WATCHMEN, awakening the INTERCESSORS and generally AWAKENING His CHURCH, our response must be to join Him. To intercede for the Governments, the Cities and the Nations, in preparation, for this imminent outpouring that, as yet, this world has never known and we will move into an entirely NEW LEVEL of what it means to be a CHRISTIAN – a CHRIST-follower in these days.

Such GLORIOUS days ahead…

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“.

Simon Braker: a season of new mantles

Posted on Monday, 26 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

School of the Prophetic Leicester’s Facebook page dated 23 October has the following by Simon Braker. My thanks go to Suzanne Payne for notifying me on Friday but which I didn’t read until today. This is such an appropriately encouraging follow-up to the last post, Shut That Door! (to which a couple of readers have already responded). Please see my footnotes too:

Simon writes:

I felt the Lord say:

My body has entered into a season of new mantles. Many have served faithfully like Joseph in this last decade they have served and refused to be offended, they have took rejection misrepresentation and even personal attack yet they have stayed true, some have suffered great personal loss yet in all the testing they have stayed true to me and have refused to become bitter.

In this next season I’m releasing new mantles of authority and Anointing,

Many who have lived many years with a distant dream and longing shall now step into the manifestation of the promise, I am releasing new mantles of Anointing for this next move of my Spirit, I have a new breed of prophets and apostles who will help build for the new wine of my presence,

This will not be a time of great ministers but of great teams and great churches, the days of the corporate blessing are upon you,

I’m raising up diplomats who will know how to function across streams, nations and networks and I’m birthing in this time a global unity across my body the likes of which has never been seen before, this unity will become the foundation from which the promise of discipling nations shall begin to come to pass.

Lion Bites: Shut that door!

Posted on Monday, 26 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

After making a minor amendment to the Library of Prophecies’ cross-reference to its sub-page on ‘A New Era for the Church’, I noted today’s word had arrived from Glasgow Prophetic Centre. It is published with their kind permission:

SHUT THAT DOOR!

The Lord says,

“It is time to close the door to the previous season once and for all. It is time to shut it, lock it and throw away the key!”

You have been in a prolonged season of confusion and, although you have heard many prophetic statements of ‘the season coming to an end’, this has yet to be your reality. Continuing in this season makes you afraid but know that God is not a God who would leave you there.

And the Spirit says to you,

“Power lies in your choice. If you choose to move out of where you are and move into my grace, it will become your reality. The choice is yours to close the door to the previous season and open the door to the next. For I have given you the keys to the season in your hands. I have given you the ability to shut the old door behind you and lock it fast… and begin to unlock the door to the next season.”

If you feel your spirit leap at this invitation from the Holy Spirit and want to choose to walk fully into the new season you can pray prayer like this:

Father God, I now choose to close the door to this previous season of confusion. I am sorry for where I have procrastinated in the old but I now declare that I am out of that season. I now choose to move with your grace, I choose to move into the season ahead that you’ve got for me.

1 Corinthians 14:33 – For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

Dr Maurice Sklar vision: “Tell them all, the Day of The Lord is upon you now!”

Posted on Saturday, 17 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

As well as receiving a prophetic word re. Israel (on war, times of the Gentiles) during Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles, 28 Sept – 4 Oct), Dr Maurice Sklar reported another personal experience on Facebook. Similar to the vision in chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation, it is re-posted below:

“THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!”

Dr M Sklar

Nearly every day since I have arrived in Jerusalem this year, I have received something from God. Yesterday, as I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom, Connie Wilson, who was in her kitchen preparing a brunch, and who is flowing so strong in the prophetic, began to quote the old praise and worship song from Joel:” Blow the Trumpet in ZION, ZION…for the day of the LORD is….and she paused for a second…it’s HERE!”.

As soon as she spoke the word…HERE…I was caught up in a prophetic experience / vision which lasted several hours. Though I could still function in “the natural” somewhat, I was overwhelmed in my spirit. This is what I experienced:

First, I saw I was in what looked like a Cathedral, and a courtroom at the same time. There were two rows of twelve angels. One to the left and one to the right in parallel columns facing each other. They had long golden trumpets in their right hands. They simultaneously put them to their mouths and blew a long blast. It grew louder and louder until the building itself began to shake and I could not bear the sound and fell on my face. Then, after I was helped up to my feet again by my angel, I saw a majestic throne. I could see the Outline of our Heavenly Father, but I could not see his face. It was just blinding light that I could not look at for very long. Under him stood Michael the Archangel. He was a giant warrior, clothed in glorious armor and stood like a statue almost, with his arms folded. A great sword was in a sheath at his right hip. He had a bronze-like color to his face, and a grim, but noble and exalted expression. He was standing right under God’s throne and in the middle between the two columns of angels who blew the trumpets. Then, I was allowed to look around, and I saw other thrones that were grouped in a semi-circle around and above them. They had black robes on, and looked like they were judges. I knew that this must be like the Supreme Court of Heaven. As my eyes seemed to adjust to the brightness, then I could recognize some of those who were Judges in this great meeting. They were some from the Bible, and others who were from both Jewish and Christian history that were Overcomers. They were seated with crowns on their heads of stunning glory and majesty. It was clear that this meeting was extremely important and there was a great awesome holiness in the giant room. The Angels that blasted their trumpets seemed to exit to the sides of the room. Michael stood like a statue in the same place. Then, Gabriel stepped forward next to him and cried out, “THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!!” Then, in absolute unison, every one on their thrones dropped to their knees and began to worship. Then, an Angel that I could not recognize, came forward with a scroll in his hand. It had an old-fashioned type of wax-like seals on it that held it closed. There were seven big wax-like seals on it that were bright red. He gave it to the Ancient of Days who took it. Then the LORD spoke, “WHO IS WORTHY TO OPEN THIS? WHO IS FOUND WORTHY TO BREAK THE SEAL?” Then, every one began to weep. Suddenly, I started weeping as well. None of those great men and women were worthy. We all could see where we had sinned and failed in our lives. None were worthy. Then, the Lord Yeshua our Messiah just appeared in front of the throne, but facing us. He was looking at each of us as if we were the only ones in the room. Then, I saw he changed! He became a Lamb…then He became the biggest and most noble Lion that I had ever seen. And every few moments, He would transform from a Man, to a Lamb, and then to a Lion, and then back to a Man. When He was in the form of His body as a Man, I could see the holes in His hands. Then, he turned around and took the scroll from the Father. There was total silence. Then, a huge shout came! It seemed that all of heaven was watching and joined in! A ROAR of PRAISE erupted. Now all the Judges were on their feet. They said in unison, “WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO TAKE THE SCROLL AND LOOSE THE SEALS THEREOF!!” This proclamation, though I heard it in English, was shouted by all of heaven in every language at the same time. Yeshua then sat down on His throne next to the Father. He took the scroll, and it seemed like I zoomed in and could see it clearly. He broke the first seal, and said, as He was looking into me with His glorious eyes of fire and love, “TELL THEM ALL, THE DAY OF THE LORD IS UPON YOU NOW!”. Then the experience ended.

May God have mercy on us all! Amen and AMEN.

Dr Maurice Sklar: Blood moon prophetic word re. Israel

Posted on Friday, 16 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

The concert violinist and Messianic Jew, Dr Maurice Sklar, was the recipient of a couple of revelatory events during The Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. The first appears below as published on Facebook (click title for original and commenting thereto). As with all prophetic words and visions both are to be weighed against scripture and with the Lord. (The second follows tomorrow – now published):

A PROPHETIC WORD:

The LORD says, “War is coming against Israel! Just as I have clearly spoken in My Word, and just as I have confirmed through my holy servants the true Prophets, I will hold it back no longer. You say to Me, “What do all of these signs converging together this month mean?” Many of My church are in fear, thinking only of doomsday and despair. Some leaders are trying to tell fortunes and predict days and times, thinking that I must do what they say when they predict it. Some are making millions of dollars by merchandising and sensationalizing these events to the point it is idolatry and distraction instead of sound prophetic ministry. I (the LORD) am far greater than your false prognosticators and charlatans. Do not follow after those deceivers – you must judge them and their ministries by their fruits and take everything you hear and judge it according to My Word.

To My beloved Bride: Look and see the signs in the heavens and upon the earth. Notice them, but don’t focus on them! Keep your eyes on Me! I am the LORD, not the sun, moon, or stars. I am greater than any event that has or will come to shake the heavens and the earth. Many of My people are crying out to Me in prayer for clarity and guidance right now. So, I will answer you… I will explain to you a little bit of what is shortly to come to pass….So your heart will not be troubled…

I am announcing to the world through these four red moons these things: Continue reading →

Encouraging theme confirmed and continues…

Posted on Monday, 12 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

Fascinating! Yet is it not too much to hope for, or be surprised by? After all, we’ve often noted the Lord teaches us through ‘coincidences’ of repetition, as though He’s placing pieces into a jigsaw as scripturally outlined herein.

Friday’s Lion Bite continues the theme I’d mused upon the previous day about our being heavenly-minded, as in Neville Johnson’s message summarised herein. I especially like the Matt 6:33 quotation because I’d recognised it even in the depths of darkness in false beliefs as expressing my search for the truth of God. (That may be what the speaker implied who brought a direct personal word about my having completed a 40-year cycle and a promise soon to be fulfilled, as here.)

So first, read Friday’s as below and, after having read and ‘chewed’, consider today’s which reiterates, and thereby emphasises, Thursday’s on our need to ‘See!‘.: Continue reading →

Lion Bites reveal encouraging theme from the Lord

Posted on Thursday, 8 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

If you’re a regular subscriber to daily ‘Lion Bites’ from Glasgow Prophetic Centre maybe you’ve noticed their team picks up specific themes from the Lord? Often they’re at the top of my email’s in-tray listing and so it’s first in my attention. Occasionally an individual word harmonises with other email. Often, I notice the thread of a theme in a tapestry the Lord is weaving through the Glasgow team.

Their vision of circling eagles in Gathering of Eagles hit me direct in view of its personal importance, as revealed in footnote links. The exhortation to focus our prophetical eyes motivated me to tackle outstanding commentaries upon prophetic words and messages Charlie Shamp and Neville Johnson had delivered. Continue reading →

Neville Johnson 2: the ‘BIGGER picture’ of post-blood moon era

Posted on Wednesday, 7 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:28-32)

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:4-7) [Scriptures courtesy of Thomas Nelson Inc and Blue Letter Bible]

[Those introductory verses were jotted before last week’s quiet day that ‘just happened’ to touch upon them, as in the previous post.]

Hopefully the meditative morning coffee and my sharing about last week’s significant quiet day will act as contemplative interludes bridging my comments on Charlie Shamp and Neville Johnson, and between two posts on Neville’s August visit to California.

Anyone concerned about Neville’s dismissal of pre-Tribulation rapture, as in his first message, is directed to an excellent discussion on this ‘American’ theology by Nelson Walters in Simplified Evidence for Rapture Timing.

After the warnings in his first message, let’s now consider the more positive follow-up in session 6.

Neville starts by saying,

“Exciting! – We really need to know what we’re fighting for. You know, it’s not good enough to get into a fight unless we really know what we’re really fighting for. Right?

“So we need to see the BIGGER picture! It’s important to understand that… What are we fighting for? …What is it about?

“You’re fighting for a new America that will usher in the Millennium Age of Christ – a brand new world…a world where Jesus will be the head of and running it!”

He refers to having been blessed with seeing glimpses or excerpts of the Millennium: an incredible world. However, according to Revelation there’s a lot of cleaning up to be done, defiled cities will fall because they can’t be allowed to enter the Millennium.

“We are fighting for this planet. God gave this planet to Adam but he lost it and we’re going to retake it! His assignment was to bring heaven to earth…

“You’ve got to see the bigger picture – this is all worth fighting for. What we’re fighting for is the Millennium. Decadence will not be allowed to exist in the Millennium!”

Notes on the Message

As in part 1, this selection of my notes (1) gives a flavour of what Neville says and (2) enables comparison with Charlie Shamp’s remarks on 2015-20 and scriptural context of the recent blood moon as well as mine on the Age to Come (all as herein). For ease of reference [numbers] denote approx. elapsed time.:

We have an incredible future: God is going to fill this world with His presence and His people and it will be better than heaven – “And that’s just a beginning!” [6]
1969 moon landing’s ‘leap’: prophetic sign for mankind as Charismatic movement followed that shook Catholic church – and Neville’s! [8]
What now? God’s signpost in Solar System: ‘New Horizons’ spacecraft took 9yrs to get to Pluto, 9th planet at end of Solar System = we’re getting to the end of this dispensation. No 9 used 49 (7×7) times in Bible and conveys meaning of finality – God’s completeness [12]. 9 = end of an era & beginning of judgement. Israel’s last king reigned 9 yrs: “he that has ears to hear”. [17]
WE’RE NOW ON FINAL LAP TO CONSUMMATION OF THE AGE – to be 7 times greater outpouring of Holy Spirit than at Pentecostal birth of Church. [15]
Church is appointed to tribulation (as now?: RB) but not wrath of God, when the world will be physically changed – we’re coming back to a perfect world. [18]
“The Lord began to speak to me about how we’re to change, to be transformed by being more heavenly minded…next step is holiest place of all and needs our going through transfiguration…Jesus was transfigured in His flesh and it changed Him for new things and we’re to be physically transformed so we can handle powers of the Age to Come!” The more heavenly minded we become the less the attraction of the world. [21]
2 Cor 5:20, Phil 3:20, Col 3:1 – As Christ’s ambassadors our citizenship is of heaven and, being risen with Christ, we should seek those things which are above. [25]
God gave us the privilege of coming here and we’ve got to make our lives count for the time we’ve got left – can’t/mustn’t lose sight of that! [29]
This is KEY – it must become a daily reality, we must let our minds be renewed, lose grip with earth, thereby heavenly realm opens and becomes accessible. [30]
We’re fighting for restoration of this planet and bringing it back under rule of God. [32]
It’s what we become – not have done – that counts ie. how much we become like Jesus and the Age to Come [34] determines our role in eons to come [43].
As evil matures in the earth and will be reaped – the gross darkness, people will be terrified and come to our light. [52]
This year’s Feast of Tabernacles (28th Sept) is going to bring change. [54]
Jesus is going to reveal Himself through His people first before He returns – check scripture re. disciples going to Feast of Tabernacles without Jesus, for He went in secret but disciples openly. [55]
Tabernacles ushers in new dimension that begins at this blood moon – door will open to combine fullness of Passover and Pentecost and ushers in new dimension. [1:00]
The mind needs to be sanctified and renewed by removal of untruths learned in our lives – needs to be consecration of mind to Lord like never before. [1:40]
If we’re to enter Tabernacles it will require greater dedication and consecration to open whole new level of consciousness and physical conditioning before powers of Age to Come open up. [1:43]

On these matters I’d draw attention to an interactive vision Neville had in 2010, on video staring at 1:44:20:

“…in which I found myself on a boat at sea – and it was as real as this (pointing to platform )…and I was at the back of the boat and I looked at the front of the boat and Jesus was standing at the front of the boat and I thought, ‘That’s ok, the Lord’s here – everything’s fine!’

“I was watching as the Lord opened a very ornate chest…I saw Him take an instrument out of the chest and it was a sextant…(explains this non-satellite’s use for finding ship’s position at sea).

“It went ‘click’…the Lord locked the sextant on the horizon and then He looked up and went ‘click’, taking a bearing on a star – and I knew that star was Venus, don’t ask me how I knew, but I knew it was Venus…

“I noticed there were 14 segments on the sextant. I looked at the Lord and He looked at me and He said:

“The time spoken in the Word regarding the Morning Star is beginning NOW!”

“I thought ‘ok’ and He said,

“The Morning Star will arise over the next 14 years and become brighter and brighter.” He said,

“I will arise in My people like never before, and at evening time it shall be light.”

“I knew that last was a scripture but couldn’t figure out where until I came out of this – it’s Zecharia 14:7… but what does it mean? He said to me,

“Transfiguration will start in many of My people and they will become truly lights of the world.”

Zecharia 14 refers to ‘the Day of the Lord’ and in the NKJV verse 7 reads,

It shall be one day
Which is known to the Lord—
Neither day nor night.
But at evening time it shall happen
That it will be light.

The Word of Prophecy

Only now do I notice that Neville talks about the ‘Morning Star’ quoting a reference of personal relevance that I’d completely forgotten about. At 1:47:55 he reads 2 Peter 1:19 as follows:

“We have a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawns that the star rises in your heart.”

[That particular verse was one of the very few referred to by the initiatory mystical group I studied under before I was rescued from Satan’s domain. Presumptuously they used it to suppose they’d attained a special level of transcendent knowledge. But it was nothing of the sort compared with true prophecy that comes by God’s Holy Spirit. It’s abundantly obvious had the verse’s full context been considered. Shortly after the Lord rescued me I asked Him about that group as I opened my Bible. It fell open and I was transfixed by 2 Peter 2:1 – ie. just a few verses on from those abused ones, as told in this part of my testimony.]

Now, Neville asks what verse 19 means and reminds us that Peter was referring to his awesome experience years previously when he saw the transfiguration of Jesus. (As in accompanying text of verses 15 to 21 shown at the foot of this post.)

Apostle Peter maintains his mission is true and valid because; 1) he witnessed Jesus’ glorious transfiguration, 2) he has the word of prophecy bestowed by Holy Spirit and which is not for private interpretation (as that group presumed!). Neville notices the juxtaposition of those two principles and submits that they’re not only relevant to that vision of 2010 but also specifically reveal what the Lord’s now doing in His people.

Therefore, I submit that Neville’s profound message is worthy of careful consideration and prayerful application.

2 Peter 1:15-21

‘Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. ¹⁶For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: ²⁰knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. ²¹For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.’ [Authorised KJV, courtesy BibleGateway.com]

Neville Johnson: 1 – last blood moon ushers in new era

Posted on Thursday, 1 October, 2015 by Richard Barker

Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you

For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.

(Isaiah 60:1-2 NKJV)

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19 NKJV)

Thank you to all subscribers and visitors for making Urgent prophetic words about a cut-off date on God’s time-line, as delivered by Neville Johnson, one of the year’s top three blogs. I first heard about him when Paul Keith Davis referred to a prophetic vision he’d had circa 2007-8 of the Days of Noah happening in our time. Almost simultaneously, his friend Neville had the same experience – details in second section of this post.

Neville was once again a main speaker at this year’s Lancaster Prophetic Conference in California hosted by Shekinah Worship Centre. I quoted his insights into recent globally significant meetings in New York as regards the false church.

In my humble opinion his teaching throughout three sessions deserves careful study. In opening the first he remarks,

“I’m going to tell you the truth because, you know, the Bible says ‘You shall know the truth and it will set you free’ and the days in which we’re living are awesome days, they are frightening days (RB: ie. for unbelievers). We can’t go through life saying ‘Hallelujah, everything’s great!’ – everything’s not great unless you’re walking closely with the Lord!

“You know, it’s the goodness and the severity of the Lord – there’s light and there is darkness – we need to understand the days in which we’re living… dangerous times but glorious times…”

Upon replaying I now note his quoting Hebrews 11:7, which is also in my opening reference to faith relating to ‘Age to Come’ and the blood moon, as herein.

“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not as yet seen, moved with fear to prepare an ark for the saving of his house, by which he condemned the world and became the heir of the righteousness which by faith.”

“So if Noah is hearing God he didn’t just say, ‘Trust God’ he had to do certain things which, if he didn’t, he wouldn’t survive. Are you hearing me?

“That word ‘warned’ signifies and implies if we don’t hear what God is saying we’re going to be in jeopardy…the word ‘fear’ in Hebrew means not normal word for fear but to be circumspect, to be prudent and to be careful…”

Neville continues stressing the importance of understanding what’s going on in these present days and the need to ‘trust and obey’ and emphasises avoiding dire results of erroneous church teaching. For example, he refers to the dreadful mistake during the Boxer Revolution in China and, therefore, that pastors need to tell their people the truth about what’s happening.

Notes on the Message

I’m pulling out pertinent scribbles from my notes on those first two sessions to (1) give a flavour of what Neville said; (2) enable comparison with Charles Shamp’s prophetic and oral teaching in January and April respectively. Numbers denote approx. elapsed time for reference purpose (emphasis on ‘Enoch’ re. blood moon Hebrews 11 quotation).:

the church – not the people or gov’t – must take responsibility for nations forsaking commandments and principles of God and because it didn’t in the West, it got trampled underfoot by ungodly men – BUT there is some good in all this [9]
God has already given an extension of time for getting things right – but this comes to an end next month (ie Sept 2015) – time has run out [10]
we must know God’s nature – He is above all good and loving and extends time of rather than bringing judgement – [as in days of Noah when Enoch foresaw what was coming and Methusalah was born yet the Flood wouldn’t come until he died – 26]
churches doesn’t know the times; unable to see what’s coming over the horizon
the world is to see Jesus revealed through us before He comes in order for us to bring in the harvest [13]
vision of volcanic activity in Yellowstone Park
vision of a lynchpin being pulled out of a huge wheel with a resultant collapse – something happening this month (Aug) will trigger what happens in Sept [23]
Like Enoch we need to walk with God as we’ve seen what’s coming [27]
Grace is coming to enable us to walk with God as it’s going to be lot worse than in the days of Noah [29]
As in Acts 2:20 sun darkened and moon turn to blood and whomsoever calls on the God will be saved; ie. church not raptured needs to be saving souls [31]
Blood moon tetrad taking us into new dispensation
God is going to give us great authority against opposition [1:03]
2Thess1 – don’t be disturbed or deceived – we’re going to be here when antichrist revealed – not raptured [1:05]
Great apostasy – Lord clearly showed a 3-stage falling away as the church gets smaller but brighter – having been taught lies many Christians will fall away – ie. the tares will be taken out of the church (not world) [1:08] NB: confirms first email.
God isn’t going to fulfil our dreams but HIS for very few can be trusted with wealth – need to sow now and get Lord’s provision when necessary [1:14]
False prophet and false church [from 1:15 mins – as reported in this blog]
coming economic collapse will be much worse than previously with storms of unrighteousness – mobs attacking churches to be repulsed as in Sodom [1:22]
early Church kept all the Feasts except for Tabernacles. This last blood moon ushers in a new era that we’re now entering into. It brings us to the end of the age
United Kingdom – judgement but will become End-time spiritual empire [1:27] – even better than charismatic period in 20th Century [1:35]
A new kind of grace will be available after this Feast of Tabernacles [1:44]

I trust you will be blessed by listening to the Lord as you watch this Session. Neville’s second message is much more upbeat. As mentioned before, he teaches in depth on the necessity of being heavenly minded in order to see ‘The BIGGER Picture’ God has for His children and for the new earth, now and in the near future – the Age to Come!

What! No ‘pre-Trib’ rapture? See succinct, scriptural summary by Nelson Walters in Simplified Evidence for Rapture Timing, plus discussion.

Supermoon Monday’s ‘Blood Moon’ and the ‘Age to Come’

Posted on Tuesday, 29 September, 2015 by Richard Barker

Red Moon Chart, credit Mark Biltz

In connection with Monday morning’s lunar eclipse, or ‘blood moon’, it’s opportune to meet an unfulfilled promise relating to prophetic words and teaching heard in April. In fact, their relevance relates to an insight I’d been blessed with on ‘The Age to Come’. Also, references to the work of OT prophet Daniel resonated with a personal prophetic word. (Publicly delivered, it’s available to read here.)

Therefore, it’s appropriate to look first at scriptures relating to that implicit waiting and looking forward to fulfilment of the Lord’s promised plans – even if in the far future! I’ve emphasised the parts relating to visionary-auditory revelation:

On Faith – Hebrews 11

‘Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible…

‘By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. [Genesis 5:21-24 ‘All the days of Enoch were 365 years. And Enoch walked with God and was not found…’]

‘But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

‘By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

‘By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.’ (verses 11-13 omitted)

‘For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.

‘But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.’

The Book Beyond the Bible

At an inter-stream conference in March 2011 in Winchester, King Alfred’s capital of Saxon England, the Lord drew my attention to the unwritten book hiding behind my Bible’s back cover! That is, it comes after The Apocalypse, or Revelation, given to Jesus Christ for showing to and recording by His close disciple, the Apostle John.

As noted in Revival 1: glory stories, I sensed in worship that the Lord wants me to focus upon the eventual new earth and new heavens, especially the appearance from heaven of The New Jerusalem. That is, to not only be involved in and understand the times of His return, but also and more importantly to focus upon His ultimate aim for the Church, as in Revelation 21-22 and its implicit existence and purpose beyond the Bible’s cover!

That pre-blog email recounts subsequent encouragements for understanding that this all relates to ‘The Age to Come’.

2015 Feast of Tabernacles’ Blood Moon

Monday morning’s event was the fourth consecutive eclipse occurring on the first and last Jewish feast days on two subsequent years, as in the above chart by pastor Mark Biltz. So he described them as a ‘Blood Moon Tetrad’.

I recall his friend William Koenig referring to their discussions of 2007-8 on this, contrary to John Hagee’s false claims of later discovery; as disclosed here. Mark’s research into NASA’s astronomical data may be read in Blood Moons: Adding Up The Evidence.

Now to expand upon what I blogged on Monday about Charlie Shamp’s position on that day’s blood moon.:

There was much new intellectual and spiritual food to digest from the Passover/Easter weekend conference reported here. I’d hoped to have shared some as the concluding part to ‘God-incidents’ validate cycles and point to the near future wherein I refer to 40 and 55 year cycles. The intention was to share something of what Charlie taught and connect it to what I was given and started noticing about 70-year cycles in connection with what he said about a specific date. (Sticking his neck out there!)

How that conference started after worship is told in A vision: Sowing into the Kingdom of God. Whilst amazed at what I’d seen, I heard him refer to blood moons and correct the public misunderstanding gained from some sensationalist American journalism. As reported earlier, he believes Monday’s 4th blood moon marks the beginning of the time the Army of God will start appearing.

Charlie posits a two-year period starting on Monday 27th, in which we’re going to begin to see people who’ll be able to pray from within the Age to Come. Why two years? He explains,

“It leads to 23rd September 2017, which reveals something very special that we’re going to hear a lot about in coming days.

It’s a two-year period in which God is going to see how much He can trust you – because everybody wants to do the stuff, everyone wants to be able to work miracles – but how much can God actually trust you with that?”

To indicate what he means by this – and its spiritual importance – Charlie referred to God making Moses ‘as a god to pharaoh’ (Exodus 7).

“In other words He said to Moses; ‘I’m going to make you My mouthpiece, My oracle – that you’re not going to do anything out of line other than what I tell you’…

“So along with that revealing is a testing period…an emerging of a generation, which I believe that God is offering to everybody, but there will be a company that actually walk into this!

“It’s a crossing over of a Melchizedek-type priesthood with its kings on the earth…”

In answering his “Why September 23rd 2017?” I’d have told of its personal significance. Instead, he answers by talking about the prophet Daniel, whom he thinks could enter the ‘heavens’ and live in the future. There, he learnt about astronomical events for the time appointed for the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem.

Accordingly, Daniel could see that ‘star’ and bequeathed this knowledge to his school of Magi, as well as arranged in advance for them to present specific gifts to the Christ-child. That is, Daniel was living in and operating out of the Glory of God within ‘The Age to Come’!

Then, teaching from Revelation 12, Charlie considers how this scripture suggests the very same zodiacal configuration and alignment known to Daniel set for Jesus’ birth – will be once again be of astronomical significance on 23rd September 2017. (Not as a Venus-Jupiter conjunction I’d assumed; see NASA’s Sky Events 2017 calendar.)

For details of the astronomical alignment and biblical significance read a brief blog by Mark Conn published in January 2014: Revelation 12, Blood Moons and April 2014. (Note that Charlie would agree with the opening caveat re astrology. Mark makes very brief references to a possibility of the Tribulation – June 2014 saw ISIS sweep across Iraq with an extensive, barbaric persecution of Christians.)

UPDATE: for details and significance of Venus-Jupiter conjunctions in 2015 see Nelson Walters’ post on Star of Bethlehem Repeats Again This Week in The Gospel in the End Times. It’s interesting that this biblically erudite blogger whose work I’ve previously drawn attention to, appreciates the importance of astronomical events.

More…

Another of Charlie’s comments that plugged into what I’d done only recently was his saying the Jewish Temple had two spiral stairways. This reminded me of my selecting the image of a double-spiral and describing a spiral staircase to depict the corkscrew nature of Time itself in The ‘Endgame’ gets ramped up another level. That was a sensitive week or so in blogging, as explained in the subsequent part 2, to which this post acts as a successor.

On the final day of the conference Charlie spoke about the astronomical situation at the start of Islam, about which I’d been blogging – our eyeballs locked as he addressed me personally when talking about it! (How did he know? Did Holy Spirit tell him?)

Assessment

In our weighing this inspirational teaching let’s look at pertinent points of what Charlie published on New Year’s Day under Prayer Points for 2015-20. I’ve found the first part to be accurate (as underlined), as may be inferred from several of my blogs. So I have a confidence in the possible accuracy of subsequent part’s promises (as reported above):

The Seer Anointing Intensified (extract)

‘The Lord spoke to me and said that this will be a year that the seers are coming into their multi-dimensional sight. A new realm of the prophetic will be birthed this year. In January many prophetic people will enter into a season of incubation for greater manifestation. The Lord showed me that from January to September will be a time of preparation for what is going to be birthed towards the end of September after the final blood moon on the 28th of that month…This nine-month period will be a time for the conception and forming of a supernatural movement to be birthed into earth…

‘There will be a birthing of a greater glory at the end of September. A place of unusual power will begin to flow towards the end of 2015 like we have never seen before. Many will begin to taste of the age to come. There will be a prophetic people that will begin to emerge toward the end of next year that will speak a wisdom that is not of this world. They will manifest a message from an age to come. They will transcend the system of the world and operate from a higher order of the supernatural. A Daniel company is coming! This will be a company of prophets who can discern our times with pinpoint accuracy. Some will be given high places to speak into earthly governments around the world. They will have a mandate from The Lord to administer justice and solve complex situations that human intellect can not understand.’

Lion Bites word for today: Invite My Fire!

Posted on Tuesday, 29 September, 2015 by Richard Barker

INVITE MY FIRE

I will come and cleanse like a roaring fire, clearing a way for you to complete the work I have given you to do. Ideas have become tainted, projects have lost their potency of holiness, and weariness has set in because the outcomes are no longer fulfilling the original vision and desire that I put with in you.

Remember that I commanded Joshua to burn the towns of the newly invaded promised land with fire, to claim the land. Repent – turnaround – and invite My fire. I will show you what needs to be burned away if you seek me on this. Then walk again into My promises. Take no prisoners. Do not be compromised. See that I can clear the way by cleansing anything that is not of Me and sending My Spirit to empower and re-envision you.

Psalm 97:3-6
Fire goes in front of him and burns up his enemies around him. His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees it and trembles. The hills melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim his righteousness and all the nations see his glory.

A scriptural context of the 4th lunar eclipse of the ‘Blood Moon Tetrad’

Posted on Saturday, 26 September, 2015 by Richard Barker

Credit Fred Espenak; click image for Mr Eclipse website

[Readers to whom this concept is new are directed to explanatory material in Passover and blood-red moons, which is continued in 500th post – itself a useful review for new subscribers.]

In the Book of Joel, chapter 2 verses 28-32, the prophet receives a word from the Lord that was famously fulfilled on and after the feast of Pentecost whereupon God’s Holy Spirit was poured out on Jesus’ first apostles and disciples:

On Good Friday last we heard a novel, positive prophetical exposition on the scriptural meaning of the blood moons. At the Passover-Easter conference referred to earlier, Charles Shamp shared his interesting insights the gist of which is as follows.:

This year’s Passover-Easter with its blood moon, he offers, was the opening up of a significant time and season that may, however, have elements that could be used as satanic strategy.

“I’m seeing all these (American) books about doom and gloom; ‘the four blood moons’… ‘the Apocalypse’…’The Antichrist’ – but you know that actually the blood moons reveal the Army of God…

“They’re not teaching that; they’re teaching that the Antichrist is coming to take over the world – but when you read the Book of Joel, the blood moon actually reveals the Army of God.

“We’re standing at a strategic time right now. Actually in September – the 27th – is going to be the fourth blood moon. No it’s not going to be the Antichrist – it’s actually going to be a revealing, of the beginning, of the Army of God.

“You know, the Bible says the heavens declare the Glory of God – not the destruction of God, not the doom and gloom of God – but the Glory!. The heavens show us His Glory. They show us signs that don’t point to death but point to life!”

That is, Charlie considers that the fourth blood-moon over this Sunday-Monday, starting the Feast of Tabernacles at sundown Sunday, is going to open up the beginning of the time of the Army of God. He believes this weekend will actually begin a two-year period where we’re going to begin to see people who are going to pray things from the Age to Come. Thus, the next two years until September 2017 are going to be very special, not judgmental and destructive.

So we shall see. We can soon check the accuracy of such thoughts on this matter…

Prophetic eagles are gathering

Posted on Monday, 21 September, 2015 by Richard Barker

This potent daily ‘Lion Bites’ from Glasgow Prophetic Centre not only resonates deeply within but was also encouraging for elsewhere, as noted below.:

GATHERING OF EAGLES

‘I see a gathering of eagles in the sky, joining together one after another, heading in the same direction and covering the land – positioned wing tip to wing tip. There are so many gathering that they fill the sky as they come together. It is a powerful picture.

‘And I heard the Lord say,

“You who hear my voice, my prophetic warriors. I am gathering you together in this season to bring a covering to the land – to fly with the leading of my Spirit and move together. I am not looking for lone voices but I am gathering you as one”.

‘This is a time for us to raise our voices as one to speak the Word of the Lord. God is looking for people like you who can hear, listen and know His voice and then release what He is saying in this hour. God is bringing a covering to the land from you who speak forth His Word.

‘The Lord is encouraging you, as one who hears God, to gather together with others as one – in the natural, as well as in spirit. I see a large number of small gatherings and even larger gatherings across the earth of those who are hungry to hear from God and release the prophetic word together. Some of you are to actually call the gatherings, others of you are to attend gatherings. It is in this gathered place that the Lord will release His Word for the covering of the land in which you live. God will give you clarity as you seek Him on timings and locations.

‘So gather and release the word of God! It is time! The eagles are gathering!’

Psalm 68:11
The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng…

1 Samuel 19:20
…and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul and they also prophesied.

Notes:

Amen. This reverberates deep within because of what happened the first time I encountered practical teaching on prophecy, which explains Why I’m Writing. The teacher gave personal words for each workshop attendee in turn and when she came to me her eyes stood out on stalks ‘looking’ at a big eagle over me!
This word was issued on Friday 18th and, dining out with friends that evening, I learned that Russ was leading a conference on Prophetic Healing Prayer the next day. So I sent him the above word, prayed for his day, and he said it went much better than expected! Thank you Lord.

Sept 2015, Rosh Hashanah 5776: a word on the Bride and the Lion of Judah

Posted on Saturday, 19 September, 2015 by Richard Barker

Continuing from the previous post and for what they may be worth, here’s my personal comments upon the extensive prophetic word brought by Johnny Enlow. Read it in full with graphics by clicking the following title’s link to The Elijah List – or, if continuous text is easier, read it here on Facebook.

You may think this post’s title isn’t directly relevant to the material, but it came to mind as I split what was originally one long piece into two posts because this ‘most potent’ word warrants more prominence. Only after its publication did I reflect upon and query the title, but then realised the prophetic promises and Johnny’s thoughts are all part of the Bride’s preparatory training to become like our Lord and Bridegroom. Later, one of the most powerful dreams I’ve ever had brought a personal validation of these words.:

ROSH HASHANAH 5776: THE YEAR YOU WILL ROAR

“This September 14, 2015 begins a most remarkable year on the Hebraic Calendar that will exceed the expectations of even the most optimistic kingdom observer. Having finished three 7-year cycles (1994-2001, 2001-2008, 2008-2015 – see Rosh Hashanah 2014 word) we now enter into the fourth and defining 7 year period, that has birthed the age of the restoration of all things (Acts 3:21), and that has released a majestic Era of Renaissance (see my brand-new book: ‘7 Mountain Renaissance: Vision and Strategy Through 2050’).

“A pertinent scripture for this year and for the subsequent era is Daniel 12:3.

Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.

Those who are wise enough to understand the brilliance of Papa’s narrative for this day will position themselves to be able to shine as bright as the sky.”

Johnny continues by contrasting the perceptive perspectives of Caleb & Joshua and the 10 others sent to spy out the Promised Land. What he states about Caleb and his better ‘vision’ speaks straight into the personal word I was given last Autumn by Dale Mast, as recounted here.

It is essential for us to grasp, note and apply Johnny’s explanation of this, viz:

“The 10 spies saw through trouble-shooting lenses, Caleb saw through treasure-hunting lenses. We are in a ten-year window where it is imperative we gain Caleb vision. Caleb vision is against our nature. It is counterintuitive. It is even Pollyannish (sic). It is what is required for reformers of society who truly want to enter into their own prophetic promises. You are going to learn to trust your spirit eyes above your natural eyes and to almost automatically doubt your natural eyes. Media reports and projections will often give you clues as to the OPPOSITE of what God is really doing and as to what kingdom is actually ferociously advancing.”

He then provides examples of God’s reality behind perceived threats of radical Islam:

“These are just two examples of where the mainline Media can lead you to believe the opposite of what is actually taking place. We have needed corrective lenses as to true reality and some are ahead in the process and some are behind. We must learn to go on His reports or we will remain confused, anxious and disoriented.”

Next, he reminds readers of having shared for several years a prophetic time sequence of three definitive progressions: 1) Awakening. 2) Arising. 3) Shining. After reviewing the first two he writes:

“The third season is Shining and it begins this Rosh Hashanah. Now begins the extended season of “Shining as Bright as the Sky” and it is now where we begin to contend in earnest for the nations as our inheritance.”

Towards the close of this extensive prognostication, Johnny makes an interesting claim that may apply to our poor weather of late – and we should note September’s extreme, unusual weather in Israel, especially over Rosh Hashana! (Breaking Israel News, “It felt like the Apocalypse”). The intense desert storms there and across Saudi Arabia, both centres of their respective faiths, could indicate the Holy Spirit is about to blow strongly throughout the Jewish and Muslim world. This is what Johnny Enlow writes:

“I believe that where the unusual rains come this next year will be a sign where God is at work in an unusual way. Global centers of reformation will arise from places that get inundated by El Nino (The Child in Spanish, named after Jesus, as the phenomenon was first noted by fishermen off the coast of Peru around Christmas time) and so where the natural showcases excess rain there we will also see abundant spiritual rains about to develop….”

There’s such a lot in this forecast, especially on how he believes the economy will move and I particularly note his sound emphasis on October as being the month of surprises, which fits my understanding of economic cycles outlined in Cycles & The Bible. This will be covered in my proposed review of forecasts for September. I note Johnny’s remark on the power of making negative decrees.

My quoting extracts simply cannot do justice to such an extensive, profound forecast. Do read the full account, as linked above, asking the Lord to help you weigh with discernment.

Sept 2015, Rosh Hashanah 5776: a new start, the Lord’s up to something

Posted on Saturday, 19 September, 2015 by Richard Barker

How can I be sure? The ‘gremlins’ have been playing up! As sure as eggs are eggs, when there’s some sort of spiritual opposition we know we’re walking with the Lord and by His Spirit. It’s as though there’s a directly proportional resistance to His activity.

That is, when He’s about to do a new thing and make changes in our lives, opposition reacts and plays up – the more pronounced that is then we watch for the Lord doing something or moving in our lives. (See below.)

Fascinating that it’s happened to us last weekend (12/13th) and into this week. It’s the start of a new year according to the Hebraic calendar and is called ‘The Head of the Year’ (Rosh Hashanah), marking the beginning of the civil calendar for year 5776 and which starts the seventh month of their religious calendar. This, and other festivals, do not originate in the Jews themselves but in the Lord, for He ordained it as one of seven sacred feasts for His Hebraic people to observe.

Therefore, many Christians appreciate the significance of Rosh Hashanah and the next ten ‘Days of Awe’: it’s a call to ‘wake up!’, spend time in self-examination, reconciliation and repentance, in turning back to the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel.

Our own issues are just another shower of ‘jigsaw pieces’ from a grand design in the Lord’s plans, albeit detail of which entails awkward as well as enjoyable events.

In between at least four weeks of unusually cool, wet weather we took a short break in Boscombe, overlooking the Channel and Isle of Wight to the east. The week was ‘wall-to-wall’ warmth and sunshine – fantastic, thank you Lord.

We returned home looking forward to continuing in holiday mood over last weekend. But that was not to be. We found a freezer full of soggy food! Most disheartening for Nina as her energy and time spent preparing home-grown vegetables and baking desserts, making meals and selecting meats was nugatory – everything had to be binned.

Interesting to learn, however, upon re-ordering meat from a local farmer’s shop that they’d heard the same thing happened to three other customers. (Their gristle and fat-free cuts cost the same as but are much better than that of supermarkets.)

Then, we found the washing machine wouldn’t work after the first load finished!!

Next, Nina’s essential electrical transcutaneous pain-suppressing machine that eases the effects of her collapsed spine started to malfunction!!! That’s a most surprising story for telling another time…

That barrage of events kept ideas of blogging buried in the back of my brain. But I noted a comment from Australia about my testimony and recalled over that weekend it as the anniversary of a highly personal September to remember.

SO I reposted that account late last Monday, after having dismantled the washing machine to get at its printed circuit board and locate the four push-button array. I found each finger-tip size exterior button to have a Y-shaped plastic ‘spring’ enabling it to touch a tiny button on the pcb and return it into place. After five years’ frequent usage the two top hinges to the start button’s Y-piece had snapped off, as shown.

It was time for another ‘witty invention’ like that for repairing this PC’s start button – it’s held in place with ‘blu-tac’! So I took a small metal paper-clip, twisted it into a spring-shape and lodged it into the push button. The machine works fine now 🙂

That Monday-Tuesday night torrential rain showers badly disturbed sleep – the noise twice wound up our cat for an hour or so as though she’d been spooked.

Even so, and despite having left September to take care of itself after my several blogs, it seems the Lord is definitely up to something, as heard by various prophetical folk. My intention was to check their various claims later against actual events.

Meanwhile in Scotland

Eventually, it was time to catch up with my email’s in-tray and I read and reposted the latest ‘Lion Bite’, Turnaround Day. As I worked through the list I saw a notice of last weekend’s conference in Glasgow and enquired of David & Emma Stark about that ‘Bite’. I was told that, without recalling and thus independently of Rosh Hashana, she’d had a distinct sense of Tuesday 15th being a significant day. (In view of Emma’s association with Dr Sharon Stone I’ve witnessed her strong gifting.)

Therefore, in reposting that Lion Bite I included a brief note to the conference with David’s tip about Johnny Enlow’s Facebook for fuller details. There, he gives a very detailed prophetical word that I comment upon in the next post.

Jesus wants us to ask Him the right questions

Posted on Thursday, 17 September, 2015 by Richard Barker

The Australian Prophetic Council published the following word on 9th September brought by prophetic teacher and revivalist Amanda Wells of Brisbane. It conveys a profound, provocative reminder and reasons to change our perspective – I’m reminded of a popular motto worn on a bracelet stating ‘WWJD’ – ‘What Would Jesus Do?‘

We Are Asking The Wrong Questions

This week I had an encounter where I was taken again into the room where the Trinity were talking and strategising.

As I walked in they called me over to a massive table where they were talking and included me in the conversation. Jesus spoke to me and said, “Sometimes the Church are not asking the right questions, We long to give the wisdom of insight when they ask the right questions”.

He went on to say, “Many in the Church assume We are angry, and We are judging the Nations, We are neither, we are not judging Australia, UK, Europe or USA. But when we aren’t asked what WE ARE DOING in the midst of the affairs of earth, assumptions can be made and they will miss Our heart for all that is happening in the world right now”.

Jesus said to me, “We desire Our Bride to ask us why certain issues are so highlighted in the earth today, and what is the strategy of Heaven to bring transformation and reformation, not to debate as to right and wrong, as this was never the intention. To change the world My Bride need to seek ways to bring the environment into a position where it is under the influence of the kingdom, and it all begins with asking a DIFFERENT question.

“We are dismayed that instead of asking, why same sex marriage is a highlighted issue, and the perspective of Heaven in this, which is to create the greatest awakening the nations have ever seen, at times the wrong answers have been given to unasked questions of US!

“There is a massive population shift at present and the church need to ask Us what We are doing, they are moved with compassion BUT there are unasked questions and the church, if they do not ask correctly, will miss the ability to adjust their Nation’s economy to Heaven’s alignment”.

Jesus said to me, “Australia, Britain, France and Germany this is your time, you have been moved with compassion, but don’t miss the keys We want to download to you, so as to align the Nations for the greatest revival, transformation and reformation ever seen. The Nations have been pregnant with promise for a long time and now the birthing has occurred, what will you do with those who come? What is Our intention in the mass movement of people?”

Jesus went on to explain to me how the right question can be a disruptive agent that will cut through into new levels of understanding and unveil deeper and richer thoughts that will create transformation in our Nation.

What is with the Questions?

Jesus asked 307 questions, but was only asked 183!

When someone was caught in sin, or needed healing, Jesus responded by asking a question! “Woman where are your accusers?” Let’s think about it, in reality she had no idea! When Jesus asked the question, “Who touched Me?” a woman responded quickly knowing many were touching Him, and her response drew an answer; the disciples however, did not understand the power of the right question!

The enemy knows the power of the RIGHT questions and this is why he is shutting all questions down in our nations and spheres of influence. He is intimidating people with fear from asking questions and this way he shuts down supernatural solutions!

The Power of a Wrong Question

When Jesus came into the Temple (sic; synagogue) and read from Isaiah 61, everyone present sat mesmerised. God had been silent for 400 years, 10 generations, they had only heard routine and the form of religion and suddenly the atmosphere changed, it became electric as He read the words that came from the heart of the Father, they became Spirit and life. For the first time they encountered God’s presence and sensed individual Divine Significance believing that God had called them and suddenly they recognised their value.

Then someone said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
A simple question was asked and none of them were mature enough to answer it!

The question brought them all back to earth, shifted the atmosphere and that city, Nazareth became known as the City of unbelief!

He Told Me The Answer on His Lips.

“Ask Me what I am doing as Same Sex Marriage is highlighted, as Refugees are pouring out of Nations and teeming into other nations, and in the economic instability”.

He said to me, “All of these happenings are the churches biggest opportunity to see the greatest Reformation, but if My bride gives their own answer and not ask Me the questions, then Nations will miss this great opportunity. A child asks questions, so My bride must come to Me with the impassioned questioning of youth”.

Before the encounter finished I heard the Lord say, “I’m preparing the earth, each and every nation for the greatest awakening the earth has ever seen, repositioning people, families, governments, financial institutions, courts and I’m releasing a new thing”.

Australia we are on the verge of revival and awakening in every sphere of influence. Acts 3:19-21 says Jesus isn’t going to return until the restoration of all things that were spoken by the prophets since the beginning of time.

The first prophetic word in Genesis 1:28. is about to be fulfilled, as we are enter a season of unprecedented restoration and reconciliation, and we’ll see the Joseph’s, Joshua’s and Daniels arise in our midst!

Are we asking the right questions, seeking the unusual answers and not presuming we know everything already!

We have the keys to truths that will set our nation free…… Let’s use them wisely!

Notes:

In my opinion, the above word plugs into how Jesus taught us to pray to Father: “Your kingdom; let it come. Your will; let it be done on earth…”. And how are we to know His will? We should ask Him! The Kingdom belongs to those of ‘child-like’ trusting character – those who freely ask all sorts of questions.
I’m reminded my earthly dad often responded to me, “You’re always asking why? why? why?” So it’s time to get back into that mode.
